高考英语阅读理解(人物故事)试题经典一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解For most of her life, Suanne Laqueur's passion for storytelling was shown on the dance floor.Although Laqueur began writing at a young age, dancing always took center stage. She majored in dance and theater at Alfred University and taught at her mother's dance studio in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, for years. But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: "Owning a studio is a lot of work—financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing(编舞), the staging, but I didn't want to own it."Yet Laqueur's disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a self-published author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue Self-publishing as a way of sharing her first completed novel with friends and family. During the process, she realized that following her true passion—telling stories through writing—made the business of the art worthwhile, and owning that business meant she could direct her writing career however she chose.Starting with her second self-published novel, she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has self-published six novels, which collectively have hundreds of ratings and reviews on Goodreads. Her 2016 novel An Exaltation of Larks stole the show at the 25th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards, topping more than 2,300 entries to win the grand prize."You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think self-publishing allows that freedom,' she says. "If you work with traditional publishing, it's more about what's marketable, There are trade-offs, which everyone will tell you, but by self-publishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and I'm cool with that."(1)From Paragraph 2, we can learn that Laqueur _______.A. was a part-time writer when she was youngB. didn't like teaching dancing in factC. wanted to own a publishing houseD. was interested in running her mother's studio(2)What made Laqueur change her attitude to business?A. Her mother's persuasion.B. The desire to make money.C. Self-publishing her novels.D. Her own passion toward art.(3)Which of the following can best replace the phrase "stole the show" in Paragraph 4?A. became a failure.B. was shown to people.C. got all the attention.D. was accidentally stolen.(4)What can be inferred from what Laqueur's said?A. Self-publishing will replace traditional publishing.B. She will never use traditional publishing.C. Traditional publishing only focuses on the market.D. She enjoys the way of self-publishing.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)C(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,苏安妮·拉克尔大半生教舞蹈,设计舞蹈,在舞台表演,以舞蹈的形式讲述故事。

英语高中阅读理解(人物故事)练习题含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解Jon Hoffman was sitting at a red light when he saw a man run out of a store carrying a plastic donation jar full of cash. The Plano, Texas, detective, dressed in plain clothes but wearing his badge (徽章) and gun, caught the man and pinned him to the hood of his car. But Hoffman had trouble containing the thief, and they got into a struggle."The detective has a martial arts background, and he said he thought the suspect must have a martial arts background, too, because he was able to break away so easily," a Plano police spokesperson said.The detective called out for help as a crowd gathered. Among those watching: Andre Harvey and Kirby Sample, two day laborers. Harvey did what has become common these days—he took out his phone and hit record. "I hate to say it, but I thought that this policeman was doing something illegal," Harvey said. "But when he asked for help, I thought, well, there won't be a shooting if I get over there in time.” Harvey jumped into action—while he was still recording the video—as did Sample."Harvey caught hold of the suspect's arms, while Kirby seized his legs, and they were able to get the suspect to the ground to help Detective Hoffman put the handcuffs (手铐) on," said the police spokesperson. The 27-year-old suspect was charged with resisting arrest and other offenses. The charity jar he stole held less than $ 50."I've been on the wrong side of the law several times in my life," Harvey told WFAA. "It feels good to be on the right side and do something positive."After the arrest, the three men got to know each other over steaks and ribs at a local steak house—Hoffman's treat, as a thank-you. But the rescuers say Hoffman deserves credit too. "It could have turned real ugly." Sample told the media "He handled himself like a real professional."(1)What made Hoffman call for help when arresting the suspect?A. He was not on duty.B. He needed witnesses to support him.C. He wanted to push the thief into the car.D. He couldn't control the suspect.(2)Why did Harvey and Kirby record the scene at the beginning?A. To follow the fashion.B. To keep track of the criminal.C. To record the detective's violence.D. To avoid being involved in the incident.(3)What can be inferred about Harvey?A. He was ready to violate the law.B. He might have had some illegal behaviour.C. He was out of work at that time.D. He had a good martial arts background.(4)What is Harvey and Sample's attitude towards Hoffman?A. Appreciative.B. Prejudiced.C. Skeptical.D. Cautious.【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)B(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,侦探Jon Hoffman在捉偷善款的小偷时遇到困难寻求帮助,Andre Harvey和 Kirby Sample帮助了他。

高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we didn't always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children's Library. My 18-imonth-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people don't understand-a library is more than books; it's a community.Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. But it was also the place where I got my first email address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled(咯咯笑)too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasn't a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered me my first teaching job.I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually(虚拟地)visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can't always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.(1)Why does the author consider herself lucky today?A. She has become her mother's best friend.B. She has access to a reliable car now.C. She can meet friends at the library.D. She lives close to libraries.(2)What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.

"Your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, someone will stop to help. People here are kind like that."His answer lingered in my mind during that ride with my husband and teenage kids, as we headed out to explore on the first day of our vacation.Little did I know we were about to experience some of that remarkable Newfoundland kindness for ourselves.We met Alma that same morning at the start of a long hike.Our teenagers hurried ahead, and as we walked behind, admiring the scenery, two women in sunglasses and summer hiking gear stopped.They'd heard us discussing different routes, then asked if we'd like suggestions.They looked to be in their 40s, and were both enthusiastic to share their local expertise.We listened eagerly, taking mental notes, until one of the women asked, "You have a car, right?"I explained that there were no cars available during our week on the island, so we had to rely on cabs instead."Oh no," she said, "you need a car."

The new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奥斯威辛) survivor—Lawrence S. Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn his degree.Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans. But Bacow said his family's journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States."My parents came to this country with almost nothing," Bacow said. "I wouldn't be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadn't had the opportunity to get the college education."Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His father's family fled anti-Jewish (反犹太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts' academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting up-and-coming professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldn't get elsewhere.Under Bacow's leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.(1)The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that ________.A. college education is out of reach to many AmericansB. his family changed their fate due to college educationC. few opportunities were available when his father came into the countryD. a college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz(2)What can we infer from the passage?A. The fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.B. Bacow's mother stimulated his interest in science.C. Bacow's father was good at working with electronics.D. Bacow's father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.(3)The underlined word "shaking up" in paragraph 5 probably means ________.A. reactivatingB. causingC. damagingD. taking over(4)What is this passage mainly about?A. How to be admitted to Harvard University.B. The history of Bacow's family.C. The art of Bacow's leadership in Tufts.D. Bacow's way to individual success.【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)A(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇名人传记,讲述了Bacow的个人成功之路。

高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解Russ Gremel, now 98 years old, decided it was time to donate $2 million to the Illinois Audubon Society, a charity to purchase nearly 400 acres of land for wildlife protection. Gremel was able to make this amazing donation because he purchased $1,000 worth of Walgreens stock seven decades ago whose value has grown recently."A single man with no kids, Gremel has lived in the same Chicago house for 95 years, and has always lived simply", neighbor Patrick Falso told TODAY. Falso said he heard Gremel say many times the "money wasn't mine to begin with" and that he always intended to give it away.The Gremel Wildlife shelter was founded on June 4. Illinois Audubon Society president Jim Herkert said Gremel's donation was extremely generous. "It's allowing us to protect a really valuable and important possession and realize one of Gremel's wishes that we could find a place where people could come out and experience nature the way he did as a kid," Herkert told TODAY.After doing all this, this past weekend, Gremel adopted an old Chihuahua(吉娃娃犬). Winnie the dog was picked up as a homeless dog several months ago. She suffered from a kind of cancer, which was treated—and all she needed was a loving home, which Colleen Collins, the founder of Perfect Pooches Adoption Agency, was determined to find.Gremel had lost his own beloved Chihuahua earlier this year.

高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)试题(有答案和解析)一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解I'm not much of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowers-but I don't have a good track record when it comes to making them grow.A few months after our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs (郁金香球茎). She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring. ''When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you'll know that it's almost time for your son to come home. They'll give you what you need most.'' She walked me through the process of planting them. I thanked her — trying to show my gratitude for her gift.It was a long winter — cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.Day after day I noted the flowers' progress. And day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. Now with spring just around the corner, nothing could keep either of us from marching toward the light. Almost all of those bulbs bloomed. And with each brightly colored flower, I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again.(1)What can we know about the author?A.She is a professional gardener.B.She is not good at growing flowers.C.She never plants flowers at home.D.She often sends friends flowers as gifts.(2)Why did the writer forget the tulip bulbs soon?A.The bitter winter reminded her of her son far away.B.She was discouraged from making another attempt.C.They failed to live through the cold and long winter.D.She had no hope for beautiful flowers indeed.(3)What were those flowers mentioned in the last paragraph referred to?A.A physical representation of the hope.B.Things deep inside her heart and soul.C.A lesson she will never forget completely.D.The trouble she had in making them come out.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A.A dark winter with hope.B.Planting hope in winter.C.An area of green in spring.D.Living a changeable life.【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)A(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者的儿子去了中东,作者感到孤独和寂寞。

They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time."Why school?" I asked my father. "What have I done?""I'm not punishing you," he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don't you want to be useful like your brothers?"I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by you," said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others."I hesitated and squeezed his hand firmly, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man", he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave."I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?""My father," I whispered."My father's dead," he said simply.I did not know what to say.

【英语】高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)真题汇编(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解Many people criticize today's newspapers as sensationalist, satisfying the public's abnormal curiosity. But journalism a century ago was just as notorious (臭名昭著). Publishers at that time routinely competed with each other for wild stories that could draw in the most readers. Meanwhile, it was an ideal atmosphere for a courageous reporter like Nellie Bly to spring into fame.Bly, whose name was Elizabeth Corcoran, had to work to make her way in the world. Different from many women of the time, however, she refused to let the working world scare her away. Her first big opportunity as a reporter came in 1885 after she wrote an angry letter denouncing the Pittsburgh Dispatch for an article it had run criticizing women forced to work outside the home. The interested and excited editor hired Bly for her "spirit," and soon she was investigating the situations of female factory workers. Bly cared less about their jobs than their lives after work - their amusements, their motivations, their fears and ambitions. She produced an article totally different from what other reporters of the time were writing: personal, thoughtful, meaningful.By 1887 Bly had a job with the New York World, one of the leader papers of the day. She quickly became famous for undercover stories about women in a mental hospital. Soon she had investigated life as a maid, a chorus girl, and even a street girl. In her best - known brave deeds, in 1890, Bly beat the famous "around the world in 80 days" trip Jules Verne had described in his novel. Traveling by steamship, train, even ricksha, Bly reported from each stop. A spellbound nation hung on every word. Only 25, Bly had become internationally famous.(1)Bly's first newspaper job was .A. with the New York WorldB. with the Pittsburgh DispatchC. to interview mental patientsD. to experience life of chorus girls(2)What does the underlined word "denouncing" in Para. 2 probably mean?A. Praising.B. Questioning.C. Informing.D. Condemning.(3)How did Nellie Bly gain world - wide fame?A. By criticizing Jules Verne.B. By competing with other reporters.C. By writing stories through investigation.D. By caring about women from different classes.(4)Which of the following best describes Nellie Bly?A. Daring and practical.B. Acute and confident.C. Critical and dependent.D. Calm and enthusiastic.【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,Bly是一名美国女记者,在那个记者都热衷于相互竞争而报道不实新闻特殊年代,她选择为女性说话。
