【英语】高二英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解The noise of chattering mouths subsided（平息）as the teacher entered classroom. “Good morning class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I'll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf's morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me; I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart. Mrs Monaf still talks enthusiastically about geography, and I know that I can never see what a truly great person she has been in my life. .（1）What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. The writer traveled a lot.B. Mrs Monaf was a learned person.C. The writer did well at school.D. Mrs Monaf enjoyed telling stories.（2）The underlined word “rubbed off” means .A. movedB. shockedC. influencedD. defeated（3）What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Mrs. Monaf was an optimistic person.B. Breast cancer made Mrs. Monaf upset.C. Another great person may appear in my life.D. Praying for Mrs. Monaf made the writer tremble.（4）What would be the best title for the passage?A. My Interesting School LifeB. The Teacher-student FriendshipC. An Influential Person in My LifeD. Brave Fight Against Breast Cancer【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了生命中有影响力的人。

高二英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Dogs were living as companions to the early settlers of North America over 10,000 years ago. The oldest domestic dogs in the Americas were thought to be around 9500 years old. Angela Perri of Durham University, UK, and her colleagues have carried out fresh radiocarbon dating on the two dog skeletons that gave this date, discovered in the prehistoric Koster site in Illinois, and found they were even older: around 10,100 years old.A third dog from another Illinois site called Stilwell II was older still, at 10,190 years old. That makes it the oldest known domesticated dog in the Americas. The team concluded that all three dogs were domesticated as they skeletons were complete and unskinned, and so hadn't been butchered for food. They had also been carefully buried, evidence they were valued by their owners. The Stilwell II dog, which probably resembled a small English settler, was under what seemed to be the floor of a living area. It is unclear why it took so long for tame dogs to arrive in the Americas, given that they were domesticated at least 14,000 years ago in Eurasia. By this time, people were already moving into North America from Siberia; there is evidence some reached Chile 18,500 years ago. Geneticists have found signs of at least three waves of migration over the following millennia. There is no evidence that domestic dogs accompanied them. “We don't know if dogs were part of the first waves of immigration to the Americas" says Luc Janssens of Ghent University in Belgium. "It could be so, but no archaeological bones have yet been found." It is "overwhelmingly probable" that some of the early settlers did bring dogs to the Americas, but they may not have had "the time or the spiritual compulsion to bury them", says Pat Shipman of Pennsylvania State University.（1）How old is the oldest known domestic dog in the Americas7A. About 9500 years.B. About 10,100 years.C. 10,190 years.D. 18,500 years.（2）The underlined word "butchered" in the fourth paragraph could be replaced by.A. killedB. boughtC. trainedD. raised（3）What is the attitude towards when tame dogs arrived in the Americas in the last three paragraphs?A. Undoubted.B. Unsure.C. Indifferent.D. Unconfident.（4）What is the main topic of this passage?A. The earliest domestic dog in the Americas.B. The first dog arriving in the Americas.C. How dogs were domesticated in the Americas.D. When the oldest dog was found in the Americas.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了大概一万年以前就在北美成为人类伙伴的狗的种类。

(英语)高二英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)及解析

（英语）高二英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解For top students from low-income families, the challenge of applying to colleges is particularly difficult. 1 in 4 deal with all of that—the writing, the studying, the researching and applying—completely on their own. One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up with an adviser.That's the idea behind CollegePoint, an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT, SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than$80, 000 a year, they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students'questions.Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, think about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice：Skidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process.Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what, CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle, an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-state wasn't her first choice, but it was the best option for her.（1）What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.How CollegePoint works.B.The goal of CollegePoint.C.Ways to apply for a free adviser.D.The challenge of choosing colleges.（2）What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges?A.Overestimating their abilities.B.Knowing little about colleges.ck of enough learning experience.D.Failure to get support from their families.（3）Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University?A.She didn't want to stay far from home.B.Her favorite major was provided there.C.She would show her talents to the full.D.The university met her financial needs.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.How to Be a Financial AdviserB.Steps for Top Students to Select Ideal CollegesC.Advisers Help Poor Students Apply to Suitable CollegesD.CollegePoint—a Program Helping Students Score High【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款帮助贫困家庭的优秀生申请合适大学的虚拟建议程序。

（英语）高二英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Just a few years out of law school, I decided that I wanted to write fictions. The only thing I had ever published before was a law-review article. I had made great efforts to write when I camehome at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job.I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am andmade a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floorfor 20 minutes to rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours.In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn't good enough, soI ended up putting it in a drawer. My second novel, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, waspublished to glowing reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.My success sounds like a familiar story, but actually it was far from sudden. I quit my job, and for every story I published in those years, I had at least 30 rejections. The novel that I put awayin the drawer took my four years. My breakthrough came in 2006, 18 years after I first sat downto write at my kitchen table.Sometimes genius (天才 ) is just the thing that comes out after 20 years of working at your kitchen.

The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure ofthe group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leaderfor a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.Take ResponsibilityGroup leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on his shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, he's the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes are made. The group leader won't always have the power to control everything group members do, but he should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of his leadershipConcern for MembersThe group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.Good ListenerThe group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints and ideas of group members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to beput into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.（1）The passage is mainly about____________.A. choosing a good leader for a group.B. assessing the performance of a leader.C. team members' appreciation of a leader.D. qualities of a good group leader.（2）A good leader should always be able to_______.A. tell when things go wrong in a group project.B. recognize any mistakes as his own.C. make group members admit their mistakes.D. control everything group members do.（3）According to "Concerns for members", which of the following is a good quality of a leader?A. fairB. reliableC. determinedD. generous（4）Which of the following is not a benefit of the group leader being a good listener?A.

(英语)高二英语阅读理解试题经典含解析

（英语）高二英语阅读理解试题经典含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解We want our children to succeed, in school and, perhaps even more importantly, in life. But the paradox(悖论) is that our children can only truly succeed if they first learn how to fail. Consider the finding that world-class figure skaters fall over more often in practice than low-level figure skaters. At first sight this seems contradictory. Why are the really good skaters falling over the most?The reason is actually quite simple. Top skaters are constantly challenging themselves in practice, attempting jumps that stretch their limitations. This is why they fall over so often, but it is precisely why they learn so fast. Lower-level skaters have a quite different approach. They are always attempting jumps they can already do very easily, remaining within their comfort zone. This is why they don't fall over. In a superficial sense, they look successful, because they are always on their feet. The truth, however, is that by never failing, they never progress.What is true of skating is also true of life. James Dyson worked through 5,126 failed prototypes(原型) for his dual cyclone vacuum before coining up with the design that made his fortune. These failures were essential to the pathway of learning. As Dyson put it: “You can't develop new technology unless you test new ideas and learn when things go wrong. Failure is essential to invention.”In healthcare, however, things are very different. Clinicians don't like to admit to failure, partly because they have healthy egos(自我)(particularly the senior doctors) and partly because they fear litigation(诉讼). The consequence is that instead of learning from failure, healthcare often covers up failure. The direct consequence is that the same mistakes are repeated. According to the Journal of Patient Safety, 400,000 people die every year in American hospitals alone due to preventable error. Until healthcare learns to respond positively to failure, things will not improve. But let us return to children. One of the major mistakes in education in the 1970s was the attempt to equip children with confidence by giving them lots of successes （setting the bar very low）. The consequence was that the ego of kids became bound up with success, and they became unable to take risks and collapsed as soon as they hit a proper challenge.We need to flip(翻转) this approach. In a complex world, failure is inevitable. It is those individuals and institutions that have the flexibility to face up to failure, learn the lessons and adapt which eventually excel(突出).（1）The question raised in the first paragraph is to ________.A. open up a discussion on the topicB. analyze the reason for successC. express the author's oppositionD. doubt the abilities of the top skaters（2）Which of the following is the structure of the passage?A. B. C. D.（3）What would be the best title for the passage?A. How we can avoid failure in lifeB. What we should learn from failureC. Why failure is the key to flying highD. Where we further improve ourselves【答案】（1）A（2）A（3）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论证了“失败是孩子成功的必须条件”这一观点。

I hurried up during this process.One day, however, while at a party, I heard an artist friend telling everybody that his idea came while he was having a shower. “What about you?” he asked, “Don't you get your creative thoughts from the same place?”“I'm in and out in a hurry,” I told him proudly. “I have no time to waste!”“What a pity,” he said. “That's the place where you need to slow down; plenty of great thoughts come from there!” I tried it out. I slowed down the whole process, started enjoying the warm water, taking a little longer to soap myself and even spending more time just enjoying the process, and realized how much I had missed in hurrying up all these years.A woman told me how much stress her friend was suffering from and how she sought to convince her that she needed to find ways to relax.

高二英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)及解析

高二英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Regardless of how far we'd like to believe gender(性别) equality in the workplace has come, there's still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world. A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.While it's not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to leadin almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.In their research，Professor yvind L. Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (调查)2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women —this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations. Obviously，it's important to consider individual(个人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. But next time you're hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes(简历) from female candidates a harder look.（1）What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?A. Women are worse than men.B. Men take almost all high positions.C. There is a huge gap between genders.D. Women might behave better in every field.（2）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word ''inherently” in paragraph 4?A. properlyB. potentiallyC. naturallyD. normally（3）Which of the following may be the best title of this text?A. How We Can Figure Out The Boss.B. Why Women Are Better Than Men.C. Why Women Make The Best Bosses.D. How We Can Tell Gender Difference.（4）Who might have special interest in this article?A. Job hunters.B. Employers.C. Employees.D. Male bosses.【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，在工作领域男性领导人和女性领导人地位存在不平等现象，作者指出在领导位置上，女性可能在各个领域表现更好，倡议雇主在招聘领导岗位员工时应多考虑女性。

高二英语阅读理解练习题

读书可以陶冶情操。

当我们生活失意或者需要帮助的时候，读书会使我们的心情豁然开朗，使我们感到快乐。

下面是为您推荐高二英语阅读理解练习题.高二英语阅读理解练习题1Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. Scientific investigations （调查） are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared， experiences are designed， data are analyzed， and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary， and is usually more productive than working alone.Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task your group is assigned，a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.What comes first is to keep an open mind， because everyone's ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly， it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Thirdly， always work together， take turns， and encourage each other by listening， clarifying， and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference.Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities： Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her， and everyone knows exactly when， why and what to do； take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities； be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety； be responsible for your own learning， though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.When there is research to be done， divide the topic into several areas， and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You areencouraged to keep records of the sources used each person， which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging information （e.g. photocopies of notes， oral discussion， etc.） is also important， for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue， allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all， it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.After you've completed a task with your team， make an evaluation of the team's effectiveness - the strengths and weaknesses，opportunities and challenges. （428）TitleWorking TogetherThemeEffective performance needs highly cooperated （71） ________.General rulesKeep an open mind to everyone’s （72） ________.Divide the group task among group members.（73） ________ and trust each other.（74） ________Understand and agree to the （75）________ task of one’s own.Take turns doing various tasks.Show concern for others to ensure safety.Take （76）_________ for one’s own learning.Compare your own observations with those of others.Explorean issueBreak the （77） ________ into several areas.Keep records of the sources just in （78） ________.（79） ________ your information with others via proper format.Make all decisions by compromise and agreement.（80） ________effectivenessAnalyze the strengths and weaknesses.Find out the opportunities and challenges.高二英语阅读理解练习题2[1]The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs，but in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive （难以自制的） shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games[2]Over the years， shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more everyday， but it's more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don't need. Even though they don't have enough money， they buy everything they want.[3]The question is： why do they have this addiction？ There isn'ta specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad，worried， upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.[4]Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction， but it can___________. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case，people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However， the process， like for most addictions， is long， and they suffer a lot. It can also cause financial problems. They just think about satisfying their feelings， so they spend money they don't have. They get deep in debt， and they can even go bankrupt and get sent to prison. （294）76. List three activities that might develop into addictions based on the text.（Please answer within 8 words）77. What's the main idea of Paragraph 3？（Please answer within 8 words）78. Fill in the blank in paragraph 4 with proper words. （Please answer within 6words）79.
