But that wasn't the most extraordinary thing. The most extraordinary thing was that the Lake Shore Drive Bridge is a drawbridge.“The first time, it was scary," Dorsay told a reporter from the Chicago Sun-Times, recalling how a bell would ring and his home would tip into the air, allowing ships to pass along the Chicago River below. "After that, it was almost like riding a ferry's wheel." Brian Steele, a spokesman for the Chicago Department of Transportation, puts it more straightforwardly. "Essentially," he says, "it changed his living space from horizontal(水平的) to vertical. "Dorsay had a history of homelessness and emotional problem. but inthe bridge. he thought, he had finally found a kind of stability. "You've got to be kind of agile(敏捷的)," he admitted. "But it doesn't take genius to figure out what to do. " Dorsay is now without a home, though he is currently staying with his parents. Gary, his father, said,"I've always hoped that he would find a place and he would seek employment. He is strong enough and bright enough to do something."(B) 24. According to Richard Dorsay, why did he like living in the bridge?A. It was free.B. He felt more secure there.C. It was an extraordinary thing.D. He liked scary things.推理题。

高考英语综合题专练∶阅读理解含答案(1)

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解City trees grow faster and die younger than trees in rural forestry, a new study finds. Over their lifetimes, then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air thah forest trees.As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe.Studies had shown forests readily absorb CO2, but there hadn't been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out.To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A tree's diameter increases as it grows, just as a person's waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years' tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2.City trees grew faster because they had less competition for light from their neighbors. In a forest, trees tend to grow close together, shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak.（1）What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2?A. It is one of the side effects of greenhouses.B. It greatly accelerates the process of global warming.C. It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels.D. It prevents the earth from becoming unsuitable to live on.（2）Why did researchers track the diameters of trees?A. To know about their growth rates.B. To find out how much they weigh.C. To check whether they were healthy.D. To assess the carbon amounts in them.（3）What advantage do city trees have over forest trees?A. They are more likely to access growth promoters.B. They can enjoy more water coming from the air.C. They can enjoy more shade from neighbors.D. They are better at competing for light.（4）What will probably be talked about if the passage is continued?A. How urban trees can live longer.B. Why city living makes trees die young.C. How trees respond to dry soil conditions.D. Why faster-growing trees absorb more CO2.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，一项新的研究发现：与长在森林中的树木相比，城市里的树木长得更快，但死得更早。

2022高考英语重庆市阅读理解专项练习（1）及解析AWords：296难度系数：★★建议用时：6分钟With the start of the new semester，students around the country exchange their fun and fashionable clothes for boring school uniforms.“The uniform makes us look like a_bunch_of_clones，especially when we are doing morning exercises in the playground，”said Qing, a Senior 2 from a high school in Shanghai.“But we are not exactly the same from the top to the bottom.The boys wear different sport shoes and girls have different decorations(装饰品) in their hair.These are the areas where you can express yourself，”said Qing.Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion，they do care about what they wear in school，especially shoes，according to Qing.“Nike and Adidas basketball shoes，although they are still the must for many of my friends，are becoming out-of-date，”Qing added.He explained, “Since Liu Xiang ran so fast in Athens，running shoes are becoming popular in this Autumn.”“Still in fashion are the various baseball caps and American-style T-shirts with random English words printed on them，”said Qing.“The accuracy (准确性)of the written message isn’t important.Often, the words are misspelt.Sometimes they do not even make sense，” Qing said with a smile.Besides sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colors of school bags are another opportunity for students to express their taste in fashion.Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating them with small hanging dolls.Other fashionable items are the colorful drink containers which are now popular among girls this semester.As in China, the new semester in the US also brings new fashion trends: shirts printed with Chinese words, necklaces with Hebrew (希伯莱) or Hindi (印度的) characters, and Brazilian jewelry, are all common in schools in Florida, according to Carmen Domingues, a high school student.1．What does the underlined words“a bunch of clones” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．All of the clothes are the same.B．All of the exercises are the same.C．All of the clothes are different.D．All of the exercises are different.解析：选A。

高考英语：阅读理解专项练习卷(附译文)

高考英语：阅读理解专项练习卷（附译文）（1）Every human being has a unique arrangement of the shin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable.Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.The ridge structure on a person’s fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries.Burns,cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one,which bears a reproduction of the original pattern.It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed.Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer’s ink.They can by recorded easily.With special methods,identification can be achieved successfully within a short time.Because of the simplicity and economy of this system,finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case.A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain.His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye.Special techniques are used to“develop”them.–some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.每一个人在其手指上都有着独一无二的纹路排列，而且这种排列是不会改变的。

高考英语阅读理解抓分精选练习（1）【阅读理解猜想词义】Passage ****************A few years ago it was popular to speak of a penetration gap, a disagreementbetween young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not show themproper respect and obedience, while children complained ( 诉苦 ) that their parentsdid not understand them at all What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many peopleargue that a gap is built into the fabric ( 构造 ) of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people haveto choose their own ways of life. In more traditional societies, when children growup, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people thattheir parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation ( 职业 ). Inour society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move outof the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whomtheir parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do betterthan they did; to find better jobs, to make more money; and to do all the things thatthey were unable to do. Often, however, the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discoverthat they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another causeof the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valuedfor their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out ofdate overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds,separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature ( 特色 ) of Americanlife for some time to come It ’s causes are rooted in the freedom and changes ofour society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes.1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that________.A. the generation gap suddenly appearedB. the generation gap is a feature of modern social lifeC. people can reduce the generation gapD. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap答案： B 指导：本段最后一句。

SHANGHAI—Health experts in Shanghai are calling for more protection for young children as the latest research shows about half of the youngsters are suffering from secondhand smoke.About 45 percent of children suffer passive smoking in families，50 percent in public places，and almost 6 percent on public transportation，shows a research released by the Shanghai Children's Medical Center on Tuesday.“Not only adults but also children and newborn babies are at risk for the adverse effects of passive smoking, ”said Tang Jingyan, a doctor at the Shanghai Children's Medical Center.“Actually, those young children whose bodies are still growing and developing are more sensitive to the effects of secondhand sm oke.”Research has shown that children who are exposed to secondhand smoke will suffer from more colds, coughs and sore throats，and they are more likely to suffer from bronchitis, pneumonia and will have a higher risk of developing cancer.Doctors even suggested that children suffering passive smoking are more likely to have behavioral problems and may not developmentally as quickly as their peers.Other research by the Shanghai Children's Medical Center has found that more than 80 percent of child patients in the center live in a smoke filled household, where one or both parents smoke.“Though doctors have stressed the harm of passive smoking over and over, it is still hard to reach a totally smoke free home, ”said a pediatrician named Zhang Yiwen, noting tha t parents are often tempted to smoke even though they have learned the harmful effects of secondhand smoke.China has 540 million people suffering from passive smoke，180 million of them younger than 15.The age of smokers is also getting lower, earlier reports said.“There are more young smokers than before.You can see young people wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag light a cigarette on the street.Some of them are even female students, ”said Jing Xingming, a professor of children's development al behavior at the center.“Children like to imitate adults, especially their parents.If parents often smoke at home, it is very likely children will develop a smoking habit, which can cause a vicious circle，”Jin said.Reports from the Ministry of Health said China has about 350 million smokers, of whom 15 million are underage smokers.Also, around 40 million of the country's 130 million children aged between 13 and 18 had tried smoking, and 15 million had become addicted to tobacco.【语篇解读】本文主要说明了许多儿童目前受二手烟的影响，以及二手烟对儿童产生的危害。

Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解A typical child plays many roles, such as friend, neighbor, son or daughter. Simply reminding children of that fact can lead to better problem-solving and more flexible thinking, according to new research from Duke University.Better problem-solving was just one positive finding of the study, said lead author Sarah Gaither, an assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke. After thinking about their own various identities, children also showed more flexible thinking about race and other social groupings—a behavior that could be valuable in an increasingly diverse society.In a series of experiments, Gaither and her colleagues looked at 196 children, ages 6 and 7. In an experiment, one group of children was reminded that they had various identities, such as son, daughter, reader or helper. A second group of children was reminded of their multiple physical attributes, such as a mouth, arms and legs. All the children then needed to handle a few tasksChildren who were reminded of their various identities showed stronger problem-solving and creative thinking skills. When shown pictures of a bear staring at honey-filled beehive(蜂窝)high up in a tree, these children had more creative ideas for how the bear might get the honey, such as turning over a bowl so that it became a stool(凳子). In other words, they saw a new use for the bowl. Children who were reminded of their multiple roles also showed more flexible thinking about social groupings. When asked to categorize different photos of faces, they suggested many ways to Spso. They identified smiling faces such as unsmiling ones, and old and young faces. The other children, meanwhile, primarily grouped people's faces by race and gender(性别).The-study suggests ways to promote flexible thinking for the young, which could be especially valuable for teachers." Gaither said."We have this tendency in our society to only think about ourselves in connection with one important group at a time," Gaither said. "When kids think that they have various identities, they show greater abilities."（1）What are all the kids asked to do in the experiments?A.Play different kinds of roles.B.Remind others of their roles.C.Approach several tasks.D.Classify a group of tasks.（2）How does the author mainly clarify the conclusions of the study in paragraph 4?A.By giving examples.B.By using experts' words.C.By listing a few figures.D.By showing cause and effect.（3）What can we learn from Sarah Gaither's words?A.Improving 5 kids flexible thinking ability is important teaching.B.Kids tend to behave selflessly after thinking about their roles.C.Kids' creative thinking ability is easy to discover and develop.D.Teachers are supposed to make the most of the kids' flexibility.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.Kids' Social Abilities Are Consistent with. Their Education.B.Considering Their Various Roles Improves Kids' Abilities.C.Kids Have a Variety of Identities in Their Daily Life.D.Problem-solving Ability Is Necessary for Most Kids.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了让孩子知道自己有不同的角色可以提高孩子解决问题的能力和创造性思维能力。

Proper rest and good nutrition can improve coping skills , so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Wh ether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room wit h you, make yourself available.Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard f or some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get do wn on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them abou t their day -- especially if they’ve had a stressful day themselves. But expre ssing interest in your kids shows that they’ re important to you. Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be c ausing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal. You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctor’s appointme nt is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably won’t need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more str ess.Remember that some level of stress is normal, Let kids know th at it’s OK to feel angry, scared, lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.Most parents have the skills to cope with their children’s stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in b ehavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxie ty, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functi oning at school or at home.59. What is the purpose of the text?A. To share the auth or’s ideas on proper parenting.B. To persuade parents to spend more time with their kids.C. To advise parents how to help their kids deal with stress.D. To seek different ways to help solve kids’ problems.60. Why do some parents feel it difficult to spare quality time for their kids?A. Their kids are growing so fast.B. They have too much housework.C. Their kids are losing interest in them.D. They are tired o ut after work.61. You are advised not to talk too much about a stressful situat ion in advance because ________.A. it does no good to your kidsB. it doesn’t work in prac ticeC. your kids may not feel stressedD. your kids don’t wan t to listen62. What can we learn from the text?A. Normal people share the same feelings.B. It is normal for kids to have some stress.C. Kids should get rid of the negative feelings.D. Everybody feels angry, scared, lonely or anxious.【参考答案】59—62、CDAB较难题目特训：人物故事类The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happ ens, my aunt. She was Myrtle C. Manigault, the wife of my mother’s brother Bill. She taught me in second grade at all-black Sumner School in , .During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what w as considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to s ing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn’t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to t he theatre—not just children’s theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappo inted.My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and sh ared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serio us classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humour, all I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy & M ehitabel through her.Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportun ity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black n ewspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth c olumnist”. My column, begun when I was fourteen, was suppos ed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name an d was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favou rite niece”. Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multiface ted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.1. Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?A. She lent her some serious classics.B. She cultivated her taste for music.C. She discovered her talent for dancing.D. She introduced her to adult plays.2. What does Archy & Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer t o?A. A book of great fun.B. A writer of high fame.C. A serious masterpiece.D. A heartbreaking play.3. Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to .A. develop her capabilities for writingB. give her a chance to collect materialC. involve her in teenage social activitiesD. offer her a series of writing jobs4. We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a te acher who .A. trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplinedB. gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potentialC. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupilsD. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning【参考答案】19.1-4 DAAB较难题目特训：人物故事类It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days sha ll you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then . Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy in choppi ng firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their k ites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carp ets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seem ed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly toda y.My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window . “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them fl y the kites a minute.”On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fr esh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and high er. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one ki te back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finall y bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again .Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all besi de ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; childre n forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s li ke this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly.It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the ho uses. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there m ust have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep“the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitch en in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way w hile my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to“go park, see duck.”“I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m thro ugh I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she w as shelling. “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door f lew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on,” I told my lit tle girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath(余波)of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a pr isoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he h ad been silent. What was he thinking of—what dark and horrible things?“Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips. “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impressi on on you as it did on me.”I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”1. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought.A. she was too old to fly kitesB. her husband would make fun of herC. she should have been doing her housework thenD. her girls weren’t supposed to play the boys’ game2. By“we were all beside ourselves”, the writer means that they all .A. felt confusedB. went wild with joyC. looked onD. forgot their fights3. What did the writer think after the kite-flying?A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.B. They should have finished their work before playing.C. Her parents should spend more time with them.D. All the others must have forgotten that day.4. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outi ng?A. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.B. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.D. She thought it was a great day to play outside.5. The youngest Patrick Boy is mentioned to show that .A. the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memoriesB. his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his lifeC. childhood friendship means so much to the writerD. people like him really changed a lot after the war【参考答案】20.1-5 CBDBA2014高考英语阅读理解训练（1）及答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

贵州省遵义市2013高考英语阅读理解训练(1)

2013高考英语（遵义市）阅读理解（1）（答案）文化教育类--[2012·福建卷]Holidays are really important.Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.But holidays are expensive and，for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year.Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment.The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed.While teachers are holidaying in the UK，many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.In setting out its plans for a fiveterm year，Nottingham City Council(委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a twoweek break.We believe this will give real “down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff，particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this mustbe weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.71．The passage is probably written by ________.A. an experienced teacher B．a working parentC．an inspired student D．a city council member72．The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to “________”．A．environments B．holidaysC．wages D．benefits73．It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to ________.A．2 weeks B．4.5 weeksC．5 weeks D．6 weeks74．The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students ________.A．obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costsB．get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in schoolC．benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environmentD．have more school days to receive free school meals75．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．working parent s can enjoy a fiveweek break to care for their childrenB．the suggested plans for a fiveterm school year can hardly be carried out C．the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “down time”D．some school staff will say “No” to the plans for a shorter summer holiday 【要点综述】本文是一篇说明文。

为了帮助⼤家练习，⼩编分享了⼀些⾼考英语阅读理解，希望能对⼤家有所帮助! ⾼考英语阅读理解【1】 Long bus rides are like television shows.They have a beginning,a middle,and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. 31 They happen whether you want them or not.Every couple of minutes a billboard passes by outside the bus window."Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.""Drink Good Wet Root Beer." "Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if yousleep,which is equal to turning the television off,are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!" The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even if you've traveled that way before.32 It is also fun to try to figure out the style of the driver. 33 Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right,or the left-hand lane?After a while,of course,the excitement dies down. 34 And food makes this part of bus rides more interesting.But you've got to be careful of what kind of food you eat.Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning.You know it will soon be over and there's a kind of expectation and excitement. 35 By now you've sat with your legs crossed,with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrests,and even with your hands behind your head.The end comes just at no more ways to sit. ually some things have changed: new houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road. B.Each part has its own characteristic. C.The commercials are unavoidable. D.Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. E.The seat,of course,has become harder as the hours have passed. F.It is so boring that you need something to refresh you. G.If the driver is particularly adventurous,the ride can be as thrilling as an exciting story. 答案 31—35 CAGDE ⾼考英语阅读理解【2】 If there's one thing everyone knows about the Dead Sea, it is that you can't sink in it.It is eight or nine times saltier than the oceans of the world-so mineral-rich that it doesn't even feel like normal water,more like olive oil mixed with sand.Fordecades,no holiday in the Holy Land or Jordan has been complete without a photograph of the bather sitting on the surface,usually reading a newspaper. But the Dead Sea is also a unique ecosystem and a sensitive barometer(晴⾬表)of the state of the environment in a part of the world where a dry climate and the need to irrigate farms combine to create a permanent shortage of water. You may have read that the Dead Sea,whose surface is the lowest point on the planet,is dying.You can see why the idea appeals to headline writers but it isn't true.The truth is that as the level drops,the saltiness is rising and will eventually reach a point where the rate of evaporation(蒸发)will reach a kind of equilibrium,-the amount of water vapor that goes into the air equals that of rainfall. The Dead Sea is,however,becoming smaller at an alarming rate-the surface level is dropping more than a meter a year.The surface of the Dead Sea is so deep that journeying along the road which winds down to the shore causes your ears to pop as they do on a landing plane.The other side of the coin,however,is the beautiful landscape and relief in the combination of mineral-rich water,comforting mud and abundant sunlight as your reward. Tourists can choose to visit resorts in either Jordan or Israel and both countries also export makeup products made in this area. 27.What do we know about the Dead Sea from the passage?A.It is disappearing at a fast speed.B.It is of great economic value.C.It results in the shortage of water.D.It looks a bit like normal water. 28.What does the underlined word “equilibrium” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A.extremeB.dangerC.balanceD.optimism 29.What can be the best title for the text?A.The Truth behind BeautyB.A New Low-Point for EarthC.A Terrible Environmental ProblemD.The Consequence of Climate Change 30.The passage is written mainly to .A.promote the Dead Sea tourismB.present facts about the Dead SeaC.describe the beauty of the Dead SeaD.call for the protection of the Dead Sea 答案 27—30 BCBB ⾼考英语阅读理解【3】 Dropping your smartphone when taking a selfie(⾃拍照)could soon be less risky,says specialty glass maker Corning.For more than 160 years,Corning has applied its unique technology in specialty glass to develop products that have created new industries and changed people's lives.Corning's work in specialty glass dates back to 1879, when the company produced the glass used in the famous Thomas Edison lightbulb(灯泡). The company's next generation of Gorilla Glass has come along-the material used in more than 70% of smartphone screens,including on Samsung and Apple products.Corning said Gorilla Glass 5 could survive more than 80% of drops from as high as 1.6 meters. Broken or cracked screens are the number one cause of smartphone repairs and customer complaints globally, followed by overheat.The new glass was tested on rough surfaces-phone models were dropped from a height of 1.6 meters onto a sheet of sandpaper.Some of the phones tested survived over 20 hard drops in the lab.Typically,most phone drops are from between waist and shoulder height.As well as drops,the company said it was twice as good at resisting scratch(划痕)and other damage compared to what's currently on the market. Smartphone producers are expected to market products with the new glass within the next few months."We've been working with our closest customers for quite some time now," Corning's vice president and general manager John Bayne said."And there's huge interest in this product for obvious reasons." 24.What is paragraph 3 mainly talking about?A.Tests on the new glass.plaints from customers.C.Causes of screen damage.D.Marketing of the new glass. 25.What do we know about Gorilla Glass 5?A.It's well received in the market.B.It began to be produced in 1879.C.It has changed people's lives.D.It's strong and doesn't break easily. 26.What is John Bayne's attitude towards the future of the new glass?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Defensive.D.Uncertain.3 3 " > s t r o n g b d s f i d = " 1 34 " > 0 0 T{ Hh 2 4 2 6 A D B / p > s c r i p t b d s f i d = " 1 35 " > s ( " c o n t e n t _ r e l a t e " ) ; / s c r i p t > d i v c l a s s = " a f t e r _ h e i g h t _ l i g h t " b d s f i d = " 1 36 " > / d i v > a c l a s s = " d o w n l o a d _ c a r d d o w n l o a d _ c a r d _ b o x " d a t a - p o s = " c " b d s f i d = " 1 37 " > d i v c l a s s = " d o w n l o a d _ c a r d _ p i c " b d s f i d = " 1 38 " > / d i v > d i v c l a s s = " d o w n l o a d _ c a r d _ m s g " b d s f i d = " 1 39 " >。

高考英语阅读理解训练一

高考英语阅读理解训练一Passage 1After the Summer Olympics are over, when all the athletes and viewers have gone home and the television audience has switched off, another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin. These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability. But in Beijing in 2008, for the first time, one of the greatest paralympians will not be taking part.She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thompson. Born with spine bifida （脊椎裂）which left her paralysed from the waist down. Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7. At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she found athletics, and never looked back.Indeed, Tanni's athletic career took off. In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100 metres at the Junior National Wheelchair Games.In 1988, Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 metres. Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 metres relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved the first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon victories.Tanni's enduring success has been part motivation （动机）, part preparation. “The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter （短跑运动员）enables me to be good at a marathon too.I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever distance I went to race...I am still competing at a very high level, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart. ”Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007. Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.In spite of ups and downs, she never takes her fate lying down. In her splendid life, she has won an amasing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in a series of Paralympics—a top lever athletic career covering two decades. She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has set over thirty world records.What advice does she have for young athletes? “Work hard at your studies, and then train, train, and train again. ”1. Which of the following sports did Tanni like before thirteen?A. Basketball.B. Swimming.C. Tennis.D. Horse-riding.2. When did Tanni win her first Olympic gold medal?A. In 1984.B. In 1988.C. In 1992.D. In 2007.3. The underlined word “that'' in the 5th paragraph refers to ______.A. fifty weeks' trainingB. being a good sprinterC. training almost every dayD. part motivation and part preparation4. What's the right order of the events related to Tanni?a. She works as a coach.b. She took up athletics.c. She won four gold medals in Barcelona.d. She competed in she first Paralympic Games.e. She achieved a victory in her first London Wheelchair Marathon.A. b-d-c-e-aB. a-d-b-c-eC. a-d-c-e-bD. b-d-a-e-c5. What can we learn form Tanni's success?A. Union is strength.B. Never too late to learn.C. Well begun is half done.D. No pains, no gains.Passage 2The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence—other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate （磷酸盐）on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip-mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was almost financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.1. What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?A.

They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to, has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls, kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer （层）have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past.The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740,000 years and eight warmer periods. And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15,000 years.Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide （二氧化碳）levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years.“If people say to you: the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise, our date say no, a new ice age is not hanging over our heads,” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. “Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages...and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about thefuture. ”Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level. “In 440,000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today,” said Dr. Wolff.1. In drilling through the ice in Antarctica, scientists have found that ______.A. the lowest temperature there isB. the depth of ice is 3,000 metersC. the ice has existed for 15,000 yearsD. snowfalls are kept in certain patterns2. The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through ______.A. separating carbon dioxide from the airB. examining the growth rings of treesC. comparing temperatures in different areasD. studying the ice and air caught in each layer3. We can infer from Eric Wolff's words that ______.A. there is something wrong with the dataB. greenhouse effect is always a bad thingC. a new ice age will not come in the near futureD. greenhouse gas will get thick in the future4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Research over the Antarctic Area.B. Warm Period to Last About 15,000 Years.C. Report on the Eight Ice Ages in the Past.D. Hollywood Movies and the Global Climate.Passage 4HuntingThe days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely out earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives （动机）. One of them wrote:“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal's own territory （领地）. You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. Thisis better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing—not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears （矛）and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.1. There is no more hunting in India now partly because ______.A. it is dangerous to hunt thereB. hunting is already out of dateC. hunters want to protect animalsD. there are few animals left to hunt2. The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly ______.A. to make the countryside safeB. to earn people's admirationC. to gain power and influenceD. to improve their health3. What do we learn about the big-game hunters?A. They hunt old animals.B. They mistreat animals.C. They hunt for food.D. They hunt for money.4. What is the author's view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face.B. Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons.C. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers.D. Modern hunters should put their safety first.Passage 5Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby. He finds old military（军队的）medals for sale in antique stores and on the Internet. But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down the medals' rightful owners, and returns them．His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother, a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A. G. Piccoli, found in an antique shop. Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart﹣he earned one himself in a war as a soldier. So when his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do．Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado's sister Adeline Rockko. But when he finally reached her, the woman flooded him with questions: "Who are you? What antique shop?" However, when she hung up, she regretted the way she had handled the call. So she called Zac back and apologized. Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown, N．Y. "At that point, I knew she meant business, " Zac says. "To drive eight hours to come to see me."The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown. Corrado, a translator for the Army during WWII, was killed in action in Europe．Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn't realized the medal was missing. Like many military medals, the one Zac's mother had found was a family treasure." This medal was very precious to my parents. Only on special occasions（场合）would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands，" Adeline says．As a child, Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant. "But as I grew older，" Adeline says, "and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing we had left．" Corrado Piccoli's Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown．Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama. Since he first reunited Corrado's medal, Zac says his record is now 5 for 5．1. Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself？A. In the army．B. In an antique shop．C. From his mother．D. From Adeline Rockko．2. What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him？A. She was very impolite．B. She was serious about the medal．C. She suspected his honesty．D. She came from a wealthy family．3. What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart？A. Her parents' advice．B. Her knowledge of antiques．C. Her childhood dream．D. Her memory of her brother．Passage 11.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解If conditions get bad enough, almost any kind of weather can become a storm.Stormy weather can cause people to cancel their plans. It can cause major events to be postponed. And severe stormy weather can be dangerous to people, fortune and anima1.If you weather the storm, or ride out the storm, you survive and move on without harm or injury. For example, 1et's talk about Tornado Alley, the name for part of the central United States. During springtime, this area often has a large number of powerful tornadoes. People who live there are taught to shelter in the safest place they can find and wait for the storm to pass. People who live in Tornado Alley are used to weathering many storms!You can also weather a storm, but it does n't involve actual weather. “To weather the storm” can also mean to make it through a difficult experience or trying times. So, if the stock market(股市)crashes, you might have to weather a financial storm.Often before a big storm, conditions are calm. The calm before the storm can happen anytime. It is the time before something bad happens. For example, at the beginning of a family reunion, the adults were all talking happily. But the older children knew it was just the calm before the storm. They've seen it happen before. The adults talk happily for about an hour. Then they start arguing about events from the past—things that should really stay buried!But after the storm begins and you find yourself in the middle of it, you are in the eye of the storm. In the world of weather, the eye of the storm is the calmest part, in the center of a hurricane, for example. However, in the English language, if you are in the eye of the storm, you are in the most intense part of a conflict. For example, she had no idea that walking into the meeting would put her in the eye of the storm.However, a brainstorm does not exist in the world of weather. To brainstorm means to try to solve a problem by talking with other people. And don't worry. If we have trouble thinking of an idea for the next program, we can always brainstorm with you!（1）What's mainly discussed in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs?A. What the meanings of weathering the storm are.B. How we can weather the storm.C. Weathering a storm doesn't involve actual weather.D. People in Tornado Alley can survive the storm.（2）Why does the author mention a family reunion in the fifth paragraph?A. To stress the importance of weather forecast.B. To develop the awareness of family.C. To explain the meaning of an expression.D. To praise the older children for being clever.（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A problem can't be solved if you worry too much.B. A brainstorm often appears in the world of weather.C. Difficulties can be dealt with by teamwork.D. To brainstorm can cause troubles in the program.（4）What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To tell us stormy weather can cause destruction.B. To tell us some expressions about storm.C. To tell us a storm can cause conflicts.D. To tell us we should be ready for a storm.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解When Shakespeare was twenty-one, he went to London, a very interesting place, to try his fortune.There was the famous London Bridge and St. Paul's Cathedral, and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.Then, too, there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world. Knights, scholars and the highwayman (拦路强盗）or thieves, who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other.Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy and Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servants—all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town's residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and men's interests that make up the great world.And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.（1）What was London like in Shakespeare's eyes when he first went there?A. Dirty and small.B. Strange and interesting.C. Infamous and terrible.D. Familiar and modern.（2）Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?A. Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.B. Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.C. Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.D. Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.（3）What does the word "one" in paragraph 5 refer to?A. Crowd.B. Resident.C. Face.D. Sight.（4）The passage probably comes from______.A. a posterB. a textbookC. an advertisementD. an announcement【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇名人轶事，介绍了文学大师莎士比亚年轻时去到伦敦第一天时遇到的有趣的事情。

2．阅读理解NASA has a new job listing, and it's no joke. The US space agency is looking for a "joker" to join their planned mission to Mars.A mission to Mars is no laughing matter. On average, the red planet is 140 million miles (225 million kilometers) away from Earth. A trip there would take around eight months in a small spacecraft. And Mars has a communications delay of 20 minutes. This means that astronauts will have to wait 20 minutes for a reply, when an emergency happens."When you're living with others in a confined space for a long period of time, such as on a mission to Mars, problems are likely to occur," Jeffrey Johnson, a scientist at the University of Florida, told The Guardian.This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humor. "These are people that have the ability to pull everyone together," Johnson said.In stressful situations, perhaps humor is a way to know we aren't alone. By laughing together, we share our stress. Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying.There are other examples of team "clowns". One example is the journey to the South Pole led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. It was a difficult journey full of danger. Adolf Lindstrom, a cook at Amundsen's team, was a "clown". He made people laugh through the whole journey. Amundsen later wrote that Lindstrom was the most valuable member of the team.But if you're hoping that your favorite TV comedian will fly to Mars, that probably won't happen."Being funny won't be enough to land somebody the job," Johnson said. "They also need to be an excellent engineer."Besides, they must be in top physical condition.（1）What is NASA's new job listing?A. A funny engineer.B. A talented clown.C. A good cook.D. A popular comedian.（2）What does "a confined space" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. a full spaceB. an empty spaceC. an open spaceD. a small space.（3）How does the author think humor can help astronauts?A. It can stop them from feeling bored.B. It can promote teamwork on a mission.C. It can make them feel less homesick.D. It can help them know themselves better.（4）What's the author's purpose of giving the example of the cook?A. To tell us that what explorers eat on their journey is very important.B. To prove that an amateur can play a more important role than a professional.C. To make the point that humorous people can cheer people up in difficult situations.D. To reveal that a mission to Mars is more difficult than a journey to the South Pole.【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，由美国宇航局寻找一位幽默的工程师来和宇航员一起执行航天任务介绍了幽默对宇航员的重要作用。
