（英语）英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors ( 交叠式旋翼 )to power the vehicle.The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack “is built around safety from the start. In his words, reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.”The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot,” he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.（1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike .A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyB. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters highC. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsD. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed（2）The writer uses the example of For One racing car to show that .A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliableB. the engine of the Jetpack is powerfulC. the actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueD. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height（3）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer s to.A. the jet streamB. the engineC. the JetpackD. the parachute （4）What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.D. To advertise the two personalflying vehicles.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】本文为说明文，主要讲述一种个人飞行工具很快就会应用于现实。

（英语）英语阅读理解练习题20篇含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O's. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.I've been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals. They're other primates(灵长目动物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(灵长目动物) class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure in laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, 1 started to wonder: Will the new science of "food animals" bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?Animal activists are already there, of course, committed to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?（1）According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of .A. interactionB. analysisC. creationD. abstraction（2）The research into pigs shows that pigs .A. learn letters quicklyB. have a good eyesightC. can build up a good relationshipD. can apply knowledge to new situations（3）Paragraph 4 is mainly about .A. the similarities between mammals and humansB. the necessity of long-term studies on mammalsC. a change in people's attitudes towards animalsD. a discovery of how animals expressthemselves（4）What might be the best title for the passage?A. The Inner Lives of Food AnimalsB. The Lifestyles of Food AnimalsC. Science Reports on Food AnimalsD. A Revolution in Food Animals【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了动物也有情感有思想，有一定的分析推理能力。

英语阅读理解练习题及答案含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解They say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well, there is one lady who believes that it's actually chocolate. At 102 years of age, she's living proof.According to Boonville, Indiana's Eunice Modlin, a daily dose of chocolate has been the key to a long and healthy life. Specifically, two pieces of dark chocolate. It's not just Eunice who believes this.Many scientists have attributed the sweet to health benefits such as lower chances of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.However, researchers believe that Eunice might be overlooking the fact that she has never smoked or drunk alcohol in her long life, and that chocolate might not be the significant cause of her longevity."There are so many other factors to her long life and chocolate isn't the only one," nutritionist Vanessa Rissetto said. "Genes, her diet in general…are probably the main reasons."At any rate, Eunice is still alive and kicking. With four children, seven grandkids, 14 great-grandkids and 11 great-great grandkids, this lady has a big family.It must be noted that Eunice was also very athletic, being an archer in her 20s .Amazingly, she has lived through tough times such as the Great Depression and World War II .Also, the healthy blood runs through the veins of other family members. Eunice's brother is also still alive, at 101 years of age.No matter what you might think, Eunice's consumption of chocolate can't be ignored. In 2015, a BMJ study showed that a daily treat of one small bar would give the consumer 23% less chance of having a stroke (中风).What is in the sweet that makes it so beneficial? Apparently, cocoa beans have flavonoids, plant nutrients that have useful antioxidants (抗氧化剂)."Not all chocolate is created equal," Rissetto warns. "Dark chocolate has more flavonoids than milk chocolate, and white chocolate—which does not actually contain chocolate—is not a good source of flavonoids."（1）According to the article, which of the following lead to Eunice Modlin's long and healthy life?a. two pieces of dark chocolateb. genesc. lifelong exercised. good diete. love of her large familyA. a, b, dB. b, c, dC. a, b, eD. a, c, d（2）Rissetto thinks that .A. chocolate is the most important thing that affects Eunice's healthB. no smoking or drinking contributes the most to Eunice's longevityC. chocolate really has nothing to do with her long and healthy lifeD. Eunice's good dietdoesn't only mean taking chocolate every day（3）What the author presented in the passage sounds .A. persuasiveB. objectiveC. subjectiveD. critical（4）From the whole passage we can conclude that______________.A. there's universal proof for what contributes to a long lifeB. it is generally accepted that chocolate is the key to longevityC. many factors may contribute to people's good healthD. a bit of any chocolate a day keeps the doctor away【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，美国印第安纳女性Eunice Modlin现在已经102岁的了，她认为自己长寿的秘密是每天吃巧克力，并分析了她长寿的原因以及巧克力对健康产生影响的原因。

The fires are so massive that smoke has traveled all the way to the East Coast, prompting health warnings in Connecticut and Maryland and turning the skies above New York City hazy and red. And from Germany to China, extreme flooding has caused death and destruction. At least180 people in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands were killed last week when two months' worth of rain fell in two days, causing floods and mudslides. In the central Chinese province of Henan, 14 people died after riders were trapped on a subway amid catastrophic flooding after torrential rains.These terrifying scenes from across the globe have long been predicted by scientists studying our warming planet. Higher temperatures would lead to more heatwaves and droughts in some areas that would fuel bigger, more frequent wildfires. In other areas the warmer climate would trap moisture in the atmosphere, leading to heavier rainfall during storms.Climate change is making normal weather events-heatwaves, droughts, rainstorms and hurricanes more extreme and more devastating to communities unprepared for the attack. What's most frightening, however, is that extremes are happening faster than many predicted. As the last few weeks has shown, there's no time to waste. The summer has already given a terrible glimpse of the future if we don't change course now.( A )1. What does the underlined word “broiled" mean in Paragraph 2?A. Roasted.B.Flooded.C.Burnt.D.Swept.( D )2.How does the author stress the severity of extreme flooding?A. By making comparisons.B. By describing details.C. By analyzing causes.D. By listing numbers.( A )3.The underlined part "These terrifying scenes" in Paragraph 5 refers to①heatwaves ② wildfires ③ extreme flooding ④ tornadoes ⑤ hurricanesA.①②③B.②③④C.①③④D.③④⑤( B )4. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To inform us of extreme weather.B. To call on us to pay more attention to climate change.C. To instruct us how to survive in extreme weather.D. To predict climate change in the future.阅读理解(3)本篇源自：NatureSince first appearing in India in late 2020, the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 has become the predominant strain（主要毒株）in much of the world. Researchers might now know why Delta has been so "successful": People infected with it produce far more viruses than those infected with the original version ofSARS-CoV-2,making it very easy to spread.According to current estimates, the Delta variant could be more than twice as transmissible as the original strain ofSARS-CoV-2. To find out why, epidemiologist Jing Lu at the Guangdong Próvincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Guangzhou, China, and his colleagues tracked 62 people who were some of the first people in mainland China to become infected with the Delta strain.The team tested study participants' "viral load”-a measure of the density of viral particles in the body-every day throughout the course of infection to see how it changed over time.Researchers then compared participants' infection patterns with those of 63 people who contracted the original SARS-CoV-2 strain in 2020.The researchers report that the virus was first detectable in people with the Delta variant four days after exposure, compared with an average of six days among people with the original strain,suggesting that Delta reproduces much faster. Individuals infected with Delta also had viral loads up to 1,260 times higher than those in people infected with the original strain.The combination of a large number of viruses and a short incubation period makes sense as an explanation for Delta's heightened transmissibility, says epidemiologist BenjamiCowling at the University of Hong Kong. The sheer amount of virus in the respiratory tract means that super spreading events are likely to infect even more people, and that people might begin spreading the virus earlier after they become infected.And the short incubation period makes contact tracing more difficult in countries such as China,which systematically tracks each infected person's contacts and requires them to quarantine.“Putting it all together, Delta's really difficult to stop," Cowling says.( D )1. What is the purpose of epidemiologist Jing Lu's research?A. To find out whether Delta is a variant of SARS-CoV-2.B. To determine how SARS-CoV-2 progresses.C. To find out the solution to ending COVID-19.D. To find out what causes Delta to spread faster.( A )2. How does Jing Lu's team conduct their research?A.By comparing the participants' infection patterns.B. By monitoring the participants' course of infection.C. By measuring the participants' exposure time to Delta.D. By analyzing the data collected from previous studies.( D )3.Which of the following does NOT make for the fast spread of Delta?A. Delta's high viral loads.B. Delta's rapid reproduction ability.C. Delta's short incubation period.D. Delta's ability to escape the immune system.( D )4.What is Cowling's attitude toward stopping Delta?A.Indifferent.B. Ambiguous.C. Optimistic.D. Cautious.阅读理解(4)本篇源自：The EconomistA toothpaste tube, squeezed and twisted out of shape in a vain attempt to extract its remaining contents, haunts many a bathroom. But not, perhaps, for much longer. Colgate-Palmolive,an American consumer-goods giant, has taken up an invention by a pair of experts in supper-slippery surfaces to produce toothpaste tubes that promise to deliver every last scrap of their contents.In 2012 Kripa Varanasi, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and DaveSmith,his PhD student, set up a company called LiquiGlide to commercialize their work on making liquids flow more easily through pipes and out of containers. What caught many people's imagination at the time was a demonstration of how this could be used to empty a ketchup bottle without shaking it violently.The new toothpaste, called Elixir, comes in three varieties: a formula for whitening teeth,one for gum and enamel（牙龈和牙釉质）care and a “detox” version which，it is claimed，removes impurities from the mouth. All are packaged in plastic tubes that can be emptied with ease. Elixir has gone on sale in Europe, though no decision has yet been made about whether it will be sold elsewhere.To produce their slippery pipes and containers, Professor Varanasi and Dr. Smith first impose a microscopically textured pattern on them and then apply a suitably formulated liquid. This fills the gaps in the texture, creating a surface across which gooey substances slide easily. Any risk of contamination（污染）can be eliminated by making the liquid in question from materials also employed in the product.Besides pleasing customers who like to get their money's worth, the new,slippery toothpaste tubes should help with recycling. Existing tubes are rarely recycled, not only because they have residue left inside them but also because they are usuallymade from a laminate of plastic and aluminum foil. Mixed materials of this sort are hard to recycle, and therefore end up being dumped in landfills. Despite their success with toothpaste tubes, Professor Varanasi and Dr.Smith have not given up on food containers.( D )1.What is special about the new toothpaste tube?A.Its twisted shape.B.Its delivery service.C. Its remaining contents.D.Its slippery pipes and containers.( D )2. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 mean?unching their products onto the market.B. Setting up LiquiGlide to take up an invention.C. Squeezing and shaking a toothpaste tube.D. Making liquids slide easily on slippery surfaces.( B )3.What can be inferred from the passage?A. The new toothpaste will be sold around the world soon.B. A suitably formulated liquid is vital in producing the slippery pipes.C. Existing tubes are easy to recycle, but hard to empty.D. Professor Varanasi and Dr. Smith find it impossible to apply the invention to food containers.阅读理解(5)本篇源自：Science NewsA new chemical analysis has revealed an ugly truth about beauty products: Many beauty products may contain highly persistent, potentially harmful “forever chemicals” called PFAS.PFAS，short for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances（多氟烷基化合物），include thousands of chemicals that are so sturdy that they can stay in the body for years and the environment for centuries. Those compounds have been linked to high cholesterol,thyroid diseases and other problems. “There is no known good PFAS,” says chemist and physicist Graham Peaslee of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.In the first large screening of makeup for PFAS in the United States and Canada, Peasleeand colleagues found that 52 percent of over 200 tested products had high fluorine（氟）concentrations，suggesting the presence of PFAS. The researchers report online on June 15 in Environmental Science & Technology Letters.The potential health risks of PFAS in makeup are not yet clear, Peaslee says. But besides people ingesting or absorbing PFAS when wearing makeup, makeup washed down could get into drinking water.Peaslee's team measured the amount of fluorine, a key component of PFAS, in 231 cosmetics.63 percent of foundations，55 percent of lip products and 82 percent of waterproof mascara（睫毛膏）contained high leveIs of fluorine. Long-lasting or waterproof products were especially likely to contain lots of fluorine. That makes sense,since PFAS are water-resistant.In addition to posing their own potential health risks, these compounds can break down in the body into other PFAS, such as perfluorooctanoic acid, which has been linked to cancers and low birth weights.( A)1.The underlined word “sturdy” in Paragraph 2 probably means“_”.A.stubbornB.harmfulC.beneficialD.flexible( B )2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. PFAS are the main reason for health problems such as high cholesterol.B. More than 100 tested products are high in fluorine concentrations.C. Scientist have figured out the potential health risks of PFAS.D. PFAS are harmful to health because it can not be broken down.( C )3.Where is this text most likely from?A.A chemistry textbook.B. A cosmetic advertisement.C.A science website.D. A traveling journal.阅读理解(6)本篇源自：The New York TimesIn 1946，a 23-year-old army veteran（退伍军人）named John Goodenough headed to the University of Chicago with a dream of studying physics. When he arrived, a professor warned him that he was already too old to succeed in the field. He ignored the professor's advice and today, at 94, has just got the tech industry excited about his blazing creativity. He and his team at the University of Texas at Austin filed a patent application on a new kind of battery that,if it works as promised, would be so cheap, lightweight, and safe that it would revolutionize electric cars and kill off petroleum-fueled vehicles.We tend to assume that creativity declines with age. On the contrary, there's plenty of evidence to suggest that late blooming is not uncommon. John P. Walsh, one of the professors,joked that the Patent Office should give a “senior discount” because “there's clear evidence that people with seniority are making important contributions to invention". A study of Nobel Physics winners found that, since the 1980s, they have made their discoveries, on average, at age 50.The study also found that the peak of creativity for Nobel winners is getting higher every year.When talking about his late-life success, Dr. Goodenough said, “Some of us are turtles;we crawl and struggle along, and we haven't maybe figured it out by the time we're 30.But the turtles have to keep on walking." This crawl through life can be advantageous, he pointed out,particularly if you wander around through different fields, picking up clues as you go along. Dr.Goodenough started in physics and hopped sideways into chemistry and materials science,while also keeping his eye on the social and political trends that could drive a green economy.“You have to draw ona fair amount of experience in order to be able to put ideas together,” he said. EVERROTIONHe also credits his faith for keeping him focused on his mission to defeat pollution and ditch（摆脱）petroleum（石油）.“I＇m grateful for the doors that have been opened to me indifferent periods of my life,” he said. He believes the glass battery was just another example of the happy accidents that have come his way: “At just the right moment when I was looking for something, it walker into the door.”( B )1.Dr.Goodenough excited people withA.his switching his majorsB. his newly invented batteryC.his obtaining a patentD.his ignoring the professor's warning( C )2. What can we know about John P. Walsh mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.He excels at telling jokes.B.He received a senior discount recently.C.He believes age is not a barrier to creativity.D.He co-invented the battery with Dr. Goodenough.( C )3.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To inform us of a new invention.B. To analyze the advantages of being old.C. To point out age is no barrier to innovation.D.To predict the age of future Nobel Prize winners.阅读理解(7)本篇源自：CricketLong ago，in the unhappy village of Chelm，there lived an old sage（智者）.All the villagers were unhappy because they thought their neighbors had better lives than them. So, day and night, the envious townsfolk would call upon their sage to complain. Before the sage could even raise a spoonful of breakfast to his lips, the baker would burst into his house for a morning's complaint.“They say my bread isn't crispy! Tell me, sage, how I can make crispy bread when all I've got is a hundred-year-old oven that's really an icebox! The emperor's heart is warmer than my oven! And how can I afford a new oven when nobody buys my bread? You see the pickle I'm in? A schoolteacher I should have been. Schoolteachers don't have such headaches.”No sooner had the baker stomped out of the door than the butcher marched in. “My customers do nothing but complain! This chicken's too fat! This meat's too tough! Be a bookkeeper, my dear mother once told me. But did I listen? No. Now look at this pickle I'm in! "And after the butcher complained, the tailor, the shoemaker, and the milkman complained...It was more than a person could stand. Something had to be done. Early one brisk fall morning, the sage marched to the village square, where he posted a huge sign that read: All citizens of Chelm will gather here at noon. Bring a big greenpickle.When everybody arrived, the sage said, “Imagine that everything you are is in your pickle.Your wisdom and your foolishness are in your pickle. Your blessings and your curses are in your pickle. Your talents and your flaws are in your pickle. If you don't like your pickle, no big deal: Pick someone else's. Go ahead and choose."And, with that pronouncement, all the citizens now had the overwhelming task of deciding whose pickle they wanted. The baker's eye immediately fell on the schoolteacher's. The schoolteacher's eye shot over to the tailor's. Every eye examined every pickle in town.To this day, it isn't clear who chose first. Some say the baker, some the milkman, but one thing is absolutely certain: When it was over, the townspeople had taken back their very own pickles.Since that day, whenever a villager approached the sage to complain, though not many of the town folk did, the sage would simply say, “It's your pickle; you picked it, and that would be the end of that."( A )1.What can we infer according to the baker's complaint?A. The oven doesn't function well.B.The townsfolk are too picky.C.He has hurt the emperor's heart.D. Schoolteachers are more welcome.( A )2.Which words can be used to describe the sage?A.Patient and wise.B.

Pick a pickleD. Choose a career阅读理解(8)本篇源自：Scientific AmericanMindfulness may indeed have psychological benefits. Earlier this year, researches revealed that mindfulness-based interventions had benefits for a number of health outcomes, including stress, anxiety and depression. Although mindfulness has its merits, psychological research has also revealed that in some circumstances it's important to be mindless. Everyday examples range from riding a bike to choppingcucumbers to brushing your teeth.Research has also revealed that paying too much attention to what you're doing can have damaging effects, particularly when you perform well-practiced skills. In fact, this is one reason why some experts appear to “choke under pressure”: They think too much about the mechanics of the task at hand.In a classic study, cognitive scientist Sian Beilock and her colleagues had skilled golfers attempt to sink putts（击球入洞）under different experimental conditions. In one condition，the golfers were simply instructed to pay attention to the swing of their club and say “stop”when they finished their swing. In another condition, they were instructed to listen for a target sound while ignoring other noises and say the word “tone”when they heard the target sound.Counter-intuitively, the skilled golfers performed substantially worse when they focused on their swing than when they paid attention to irrelevant sounds. The effect of paying attention to their swing was so damaging that the golfers actually did better when they were warming up before the experiment began.More recently, psychologist Yannick Balk and his colleagues had golfers try different interventions designed to alleviate the effects of performance pressure. The researchers induced performance pressure by videotaping the participants, telling them that their score sheets would be posted publicly at the clubhouse and encouraging great performance with prizes. Without an intervention, the golfers performed significantly worse under pressure. Yet participants who were encouraged to think about something else-specifically,a song they knew by heart-improved when the stakes were high. It is worth cautioning that these results should be replicated in larger samples and across different contexts.Nevertheless, the important message from this research is that focusing too carefully on the execution of well-practiced motor sequences can cause mistakes. Of course, we should not resign ourselves to going through life on autopilot, missing opportunities t make deeper connections with ourselves, one another and our environment. But there are situations where we should let automaticity take over. The next time you ride a bike, don't overthink it.( B )1. Mindfulness is significant when you are.A. brushing your teethB. suffering from depressionpleting your daily routineD. performing well-practiced skills( C )2. What does the classic study prove?A.What benefits mindlessness can bring.B. How mindlessness works in a competition.C.Whether mindfulness can have damaging effects.D. Why mindfulness can boost athletic performance.( B )3. According to the results of Yannick Balk's study, we'd betterA. be absent-minded in Math classB. listen to the music while joggingC. multitask while learning EnglishD. pay close attention while cutting vegetables阅读理解(9)本篇源自：National Geographic TravelerPick-your-own farms are set for a post-lockdown boom this summer, as people look to support local businesses and spend more time outdoors.Here are four of our favorites.Parkside Farm,EnfieldJuicy blackberries, and strawberries are the stars of the show at this pick-your-own place on the northern edge of London. One key selling point is the “table-top" strawberry-growing system, which means plants are grown in places at waistheight-no more bending down in the dirt to pick your berries. Park side is also one of the few farms accessible without a car,as long as you don't mind a walk-it's 25 minutes from Gordon Hill station.Craigie's Farm, ScotlandJust outside Edinburgh, Craigie's Farm is bursting with produce including cherries, peas,broad beans and, perhaps surprisingly, sunflowers. The onsite shop, deli and cafe have a lot more to offer besides fruit and vegetables-you can pick up homemade jams, meat,cheese and an apple press for making your own juice. There are activities for children too, including a Nature Detective Trail involving encounters with sheep and goats.Hewitts Farm,KentThis family-run farm in Kent offers everything from spinach to apples and blackberries during its pick-your-own season, which runs from June to October(for Halloween pumpkins). There's also a shop selling farm-grown and local produce, as well as free tractor rides for youngsters on Sundays during the summer.Bellis Brothers Farm, WrexhamThis farm in North Wales started growing strawberries back in 1860 and has operated as a pick-your-own since 1967. More fruits have been added since then, but it's still mostly known for its strawberries. Pickers can download Bellis family strawberry recipes from the farm's website,including those for jams and a baked strawberry cheesecake.( B )1.Which place is recommended if visitors want homemade jams?A.Parkside Farm.B. Craigie's Farm.C.Hewitts Farm.D.Bellis Brothers Farm.( B )2. Which of the following is TRUE about Parkside Farm?A. You need not worry about getting dirty on the farm.B. You can pick berries without bending down.C.You must drive there due to its long distance from the station.D. You can enjoy sunflowers in the sunshine.( A )3.In which part of the magazine can you probably find this passage?A.Travel.B.Books.C.Business.D.Sports.阅读理解(10)本篇源自：Entertainment WeeklyBuilding an entire hour around the lives of teenagers was an uncommon choice at the time.But the inexperienced Fox network decided to have a try. And the result was somehow more popular than Brandon Walsh walking down a hallway at West Beverly Hills High School. "Itused to be kid TV, or adult TV with teenage elements to it," says Julie Plec, co-creator of TheVampire Diaries. "My first memory of teen TV was seeing a commercial for Beverly Hills,90210." Nowadays, she continues, "teen TV is important because it's new.”Maintaining that newness is the big challenge for a television producer that relies on capturing the attention of a constantly changing class of viewers. As networks began to understand the power of adolescent stories(and audiences), moreteen-centered shows started to appear and evolve.With the launches of Gossip Girl in 2007 and Pretty Little Liars in 2010, suddenly teen shows weren't just about love triangles. They needed more, like a mystery, like Riverdale and Elite putting high schoolers in the middle of unpredictable scenarios. “Along came the more hooky（逃学）kind of shows，”says Everwood creator Greg Berlanti. “Everything needed a high-concept package around it.” Often that concept would be supernatural-a trend that can be traced back through The Vampire Diaries and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, among others. Today that theme is bigger than ever thanks to fantasy epics like Netflix's Shadow and Bone.What does the future hold for teen TV? Whatever comes next, “authenticity is always the key,” says Berlanti. “They have to be truthful." And wherever there is an authentic teen story,there＇s one thing that we can guarantee will come with it：hormones（荷尔蒙）.Lots of hormones. ( D )1.According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Teen TV used to be common and popular.B. Fox had much experience in making teen TV.C. Julie Plec was a big fan of The Vampire Diaries.D. Newness makes teen TV important.( C )2. What is the big challenge that teen TV producers face?A. To focus only on a fixed group of teens.B.To change the target viewers constantly.C. To create more new ideas and things.D.To maintain the old tradition.( D )3.How does the author develop the third paragraph?A. By making comments.B. By following time order.C.By explaining the process.。

本句以副词only开头，所以用倒装句式，译文：只允许登记注册的居民居住在城市中，这样城市人口就能得以控制。
参考译文：
很多国家在其工业化的进程中，城市人口过多成为很严重的问题。由于人口过多，这些城市住房紧张、卫生条件差、就业机会少，而这些情况又会导致贫穷、疾病和犯罪率的升高。
城市人口过多主要是由于大量农村人口涌入城市引起的。这些人不满于传统的农耕生活，于是进入城市希望能够找到更好的工作，获得更高办法，联系上下文可猜测urban意为“城市的”，故选A。

【英语】英语阅读理解练习题20篇一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解They had a dozen children, six boys and six girls, in seventeen years. One reason Dad had so many children was that he was confident anything he and Mother teamed upon was sure to be a success.Our house at Montclair, New Jersey, was a sort of school for scientific management and the removal of wasted motions —or “motion study,” as Dad and Mother named it.Dad took moving pictures of us children washing dishes, so that he could determine how we could reduce our motions and thus hurry through the task. Each child who wanted extra pocket money put forward an offer saying what he would do the job for. The lowest bidder got the contract(合约).Dad put process and work charts in the bathrooms. Every child old enough to write — and Dad expected his children to start writing at a young age — was required to sign their names on the charts in the morning after he had brushed his teeth, taken a bath, combed his hair, and made his bed. At night, each child had to weigh himself, mark the figure on a graph, and sign the process charts again after he had done his homework, washed his hands and face, and brushed his teeth. Mother wanted to have a place on the charts for saying prayers, but Dad said as far as he was concerned prayers were voluntary.It was strict management, all right. Yes, at home or on the job, Dad was always the efficiency expert. He buttoned his vest from the bottom up, instead of from the top down, because the bottom-to-top process took him only three seconds, while the top-to-bottom took seven. He even used two shaving brushes to make his face smooth enough, because he found that by so doing he could cut seventeen seconds off his shaving time. For a while he tried shaving with two razors, but he finally gave that up.“I can save forty-four seconds,” he complained, “but I wasted two minutes this morning putting this bandage on my throat.” It wasn't the injured throat that really bothered him. It was the two minutes.（1）Why was the author's house considered a sort of school?A. It had a team of twelve children there.B. The children were taught how to work well in it.C. The parents could teach their children better at home.D. The parents could have the children's daily activities recorded.（2）What is the purpose of signing the charts?A. To help to do things efficiently.B. To manage the big family effectively.C. To look after the children better.D. To remind the children to obey the rules.（3）What did the father complain about one morning?A. He should have given up shaving.B. His bleeding throat bothered him.C. He couldn't shave with two razors.D. He failed to cut short his shaving time.（4）We can we infer from the text?A. The kids had to bid for everything they wanted.B. The author took pride in his father's management.C. The couple were always troubled by their children.D. The father's work was to teach the children at home.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者父亲有一套严格有效的管理教育子女的方法，使作者感到自豪。

英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析一、英语阅读（日常生活类）1．阅读理解When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing.（1）The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means .A. 吹风B. 给……上发条C. 摇上D. 利用空气……使……（2）The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .A. will be damaged much easier than the normal oneB. has a special handle to access the InternetC. is cheap and can run with extra powerD. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions（3）According to the passage，what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phonesA. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries.（4）Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .A. illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesB. tell us what high technology can help peopleC. show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesD. give an example of how to help developing countries（5）Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countriesA. We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves，not just throw money at the problem.B. We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.C. We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.D. We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）D（5）A【解析】【分析】主要讲了Nicholas Negroponte发明了一种便宜的手提电脑和循环使用手机来帮助发展中国家。

英语阅读理解专项练习题【7篇】ln the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others.Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning （按喇叭） or even shouting at me.At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years ofdriving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood.Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pas s.They couldn’t get aro und me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are few and far often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we’re brave when we’re scared.（）1.The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ________.A．they offer their helpB．they receive others’ helpC．they feel others’ kindnessD．they show their weakness（）2.The author feels sad sometimes because ________.A．he has a soft heartB．he relies much on othersC．some people pretend to be kindD．some people fail to see the kindness in others （）3.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A．They speeded up to pass.B．They waited with patience.C．They tried their best to help.D．They put on their flashlights too.（）4.In this passage, the author advises us to ________.

However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness（孤独） over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them, and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.In fact, saying "hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!（1）Which of the following shows the change in Anna's feelings?A. excited→afraid→lonely→happyB. happy→lonely→sad→proudC. afraid→relaxed→nervous→happyD. nervous→angry→happy→sad（2）The underlined word "contact" in Paragraph 2 means .A. agreeB. greetC. praiseD. communicate（3）According to the writer's opinion, which is the easiest way to catch others' attention?A. Doing something for them.B. Making yourself cool.C. Noticing them first.D. Talking to them.（4）What can we learn from the passage?A. Loneliness is a common problem these days.B. Teenagers can't get along well with each other.C. Opening our heart to strangers can help us get friends.D. It's hard to take the first step towards the road to friendship.4．阅读理解When my brother and I were children, we spent a few weeks each summer in the countryside with our uncle. He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.One day, we left early and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. "You can help me carry the samples（样本）," he explained.Sure, why not? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle's backpack was half-empty."Why did you give us so many stones?" we asked. "I didn't. You did, "he said, waiting for a while before continuing." You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude（态度） test today.""What do you mean an attitude test?" we wanted to know."It is something someone once did to me.

Besides, in decent（像样的）restaurants, you can always ask for a knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal（正式的）dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time, he will do his best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes. The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup will then be served （unless it is a Guangdong-style restaurant）, followed by rice, noodles or dumplings. Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food onto their guests' plates. In formal dinners, there are always "public" chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of real friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food on the plate. People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing（令人尴尬的） if all the food is consumed（吃光）. When you have had enough, just say so, or you will always overeat!（1）What's the real difference between Chinese and Western table manners?A. The tools people use to eat.B. Whether people share food on the same plate.C. The things people like to eat.D. How to begin the dinner politely.（2）If a foreigner first comes to have dinner in a Chinese family, he may be _____.A. given little foodB. served with rice firstC. served with many dishesD. asked to use "public" chopsticks（3）Which of the following is the RIGHT order for most Chinese formal dinners according to the passage?A. Rice-soup-hot meat-cold dishes.B. Vegetable dishes-soup-dumplings-cold dishes.C. Cold dishes-hot meat-soup-rice.D. Cold dishes-soup-hot meat-rice.（4）What's the best title for this passage?A. Having dinner with foreignersB. How to use chopsticksC. The importance of table mannersD.

The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites（社交媒体网站）, companies and governments. One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need more help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he, she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.（1）This reading is about ______.A. what big data is and how it is usedB. what schools and hospitals people likeC. where important data is collected and storedD. how big data is controlled by governments and companies（2）One company uses weather information to ______.A. help children in needB. know when people will visit the hospitalC. find out who tides the bus or trainD. understand when people will need ice cream （3）The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ____.A. big data can be used for good reasonsB. we can use big data in a number of waysC. big data can be used for both good and bad reasonsD. we can use big data to stop babies from getting sick（4）The overall tone （总基调） of this reading is _________.A. sad and personalB. personal and scientificC. informative but sillyD. scientific and informative8．阅读理解Good food photography（摄影） makes the food look fresh, so many dishes have stand-ins （替身）, just as movie stars do. "When I get my lights and camera set up, I remove the stand-in and put in the real thing," explains Ray Webber, who photographs food for magazine advertisements. "Sometimes I have to brush the food with its juices because it may have dried out a bit. And when I'm shooting（拍摄） something like tomatoes, I always carry an atomizer （喷雾器） of water to spray（喷洒） them with dew（水珠） just before I shoot."Shooting food outdoors has special problems. "I'm always worrying about flies or worms （虫） coming up the glass," Webber explains. "I am also worried that someday a dog will come up from behind and run off with the food." Once Webber was shooting a piece of cheese outdoors and needed something to add to its colour. Finally he found a plant with lovely blue flowers.

It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in the first place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not eating enough food, genes（基因）and. aging（老化）. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of a computer, you'd better take a break every once in a while.Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things.

Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because they protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly（定期地） and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes.

Robert GinsbergAn Experience of AestheticsI climbed the heights above Yosemite Valley, California in order to see the splendid granite mountain, Half Dome, in its fullest view. Approaching the edge through the woods I was filled with heightened expectation. I saw the ruin of a cabin and my approach caused the alignment of the chimney on this side of the valley with the shorn mountain across the valley. I stopped. Something happened. The stone verticals corresponded, one human-shaped, the other natural. The human site was still engaged in sightseeing. I was on its side. I saw the famous sight through the eyes of the ruin. I had come expecting beauty; I discovered an unexpected dimension to the beauty of the scene I’ve seen.为了饱览壮丽的花岗岩山峰半穹顶的全景，我登上了加州约塞米蒂谷的高地。
穿过树林，走近山沿，心中充满美的期盼。
远远望见一处小屋的废墟，走到近前，只见山谷这边的烟囱与横穿山谷的陡峭山崖恰好连成一线。
我停下脚步，奇观出现了：两道石壁遥相呼应，一边人工打造，一边浑然天成。
人造景观这边仍供观光游览，我此时就身临其境。
透过小屋的废墟，我看到了著名的景观。
我怀着对美的期盼而来，不经意间却发现了美的另一番天地。
In this experience I had been seeking the aesthetic. I knew I would find it, for I had seen postcards in advance and was following the trail map. The seeking took considerable effort and time. It was a heavy investment. I was not going for the scientific purpose of studying rock formation, nor was it for the recreational purpose of exercising my limbs in the fresh air, though that exertion added intensity to the experience and was its context. Primarily, I was going for the scenic wonders. No wonder that I would take delight in seeing Half Dome. The expectation elicited the outcome. I was suitably prepared. No distractions of practical consideration—or theoretic—detracted from my concentrated expectancy. Indeed, the world all around me on the climb contributed to the context for my goal. I was on the terrain of nature in a national park, following the trail to a viewpoint upon a celebrated natural formation. Each step in the climb not only brought me closer but obliged me to sense the altitude. Moving through the thick woods was in anticipatory contrast to the great gap of the valley and the starkness of the treeless granite boulder.这次旅程中我一直在捕捉一种美感。
我知道会如愿以偿，因为我事先看过一些有关的风景明信片，循着山路示意图一路找来。
这样的寻找费时费力，投入颇大。
我此行的目的既不是出于对科学的动机来研究岩石的结构，也不是出于娱乐消遣的考虑在清新的空气中舒展肢体——尽管这次跋涉加深了我对美的体验，而且是这番体验的不可或缺的环节。
我来这主要是为了览胜，因此见到半穹顶自然欣喜不已。
有什么样的期盼就有什么样的结果。
我有备而来，心无旁骛，一心期盼着美景，不受任何实际或假设因素的干扰。
真的，在攀登过程中，我周围的一切都为寻美营造了氛围。
我登上了国家公园的天然山地，循着山道前来观赏闻名遐迩的大自然的鬼斧神工。
攀登中的每一步不仅使我距目标越来越近，也使我感受到海拔越来越高。
不出所料，穿行在茂密的树林中，登上大峡谷寸草不生的花岗岩巨石，两种不同境界给人以强烈的反差。

I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.(有一天风跟太阳说: “看看那个沿着路上走的人.我可以比你快让他把披风脱下来.)(“我们等着看吧,”太阳说, “我让你先试.)(因此风尝试让那个人把披风脱下来.他用力地吹,可是那个人把披风拉得更紧.)(“我放弃了,”风最后说, “我无法让他把披风脱下来.”然后由太阳试试看.他尽可能地晒他.不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来了.)2 THE NEWSPAPER 报纸Nowadays the newspaper possesses considerable value Everybody should read it. It supplies us with a variety of news every day. It tells us the political situation of the world. If we form the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall (will) get enough knowledge to cope with our circumstances.现今报纸拥有极大的价值，人人都应该看它。
它每天提供我们各种类类的消息。
它告诉我们世界政治局势。
如果我们养成看报的习惯，我们就能得到足够的知识来因应我们的环境。
学生虽然每天须做功课，但他们至少应该匀出一两个小时来看报。
哪些，他们不但能增加知识而且也能赶上时代。
总而言之，看报对学生很有益处。
3 MY DAILY LIFE 我的日常生活Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country.I get up at six o’clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o’clock.After school is over, I return home. We usually have suppe r at seven o’clock.Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.虽然我的日常生活十分单调，但我却竭力设法去适应它。
为什么？因为我打算做一个好学生，希望将来为国家服务。
我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后，就开始复习功课，七点钟我就去上学。
放学后，我就回家了。
我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐，之后我就开始做家庭作业，希望在睡觉前把它做完。
4 A MODEL STUDENT 模范学生Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.你价意被称为坏学生吗？当然不。
