英语阅读理解(人物故事)练习题含答案及解析一、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. When he reached out to Collins about Winnie, she felt this could be a good match. That feeling grew when she brought Winnie to his house for a meet and greet, and Winnie was introduced not only to Gremel but also some of his friends and neighbors. One had brought over a lot of fresh strawberries; all said they'd be there to help out in any way needed.（1）Patrick Falso is mentioned in the text mainly to explain _________.A. how Gremel earned the moneyB. what kind of person Gremel isC. why Gremel made the donationD. where Gremel has been living（2）What can we learn about Russ Gremel from the text?A. He raised many pet dogs in his life.B. He bought Walgreens stock at age 28.C. He adopted a young Chihuahua recently.D. He volunteered in wildlife shelters regularly.（3）What can we infer about Gremel's neighbors from the text?A. They live in harmony with animals.B. They are impressed with dog Winnie.C. They lead a healthy and wealthy life.D. They are caring and kind to each other.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，格雷梅尔是一个没有孩子的单身男人，他在芝加哥同一所房子里住了95年，一直过着简朴的生活。

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。

Bu t though it was not far past the middle of September, the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind combined to make the day extremely cold; and th e journey seemed a very long one, so that it was nearly one o’clock before we reached the place of our destination. Yet when w e entered the gateway, my heart failed me, and I wished it were a mile or two farther off. For the first time in my life I must stand alone: there was no retreating now. I must enter that house, an d introduce myself among its strange people. But how was it to be done? True, I was near nineteen; but, thanks to the protectin g care of my mother and sister, I well knew that many a girl of fif teen, or under, was gifted with a more womanly address, and gr eater ease and self-possession, than I was. Yet, anyway. I would do very well, after all; and the children, of course, I should soon be at ease with th em."Be calm, be calm, whatever happens," I said within myself; and truly I was so fully occupied in steadying my nerves and keepin g down the rebellious beat of my heart that when I was admitte d into the hall and into the presence of Mrs. Bloomfield, I almost forgot to answer her polite greeting; and it afterwards struck m e that the little I did say was spoken in the tone of one half-dead or half-asleep.With due politeness, however, she showed me my bedroom, an d left me there to take a little refreshment for a little while and le d me into the dining-room. Some beefsteaks and potatoes were set before me; andwhile I dined upon these, she sat opposite, watching me (as I th ought) and trying to keep something like a conversation— consi sting chiefly of commonplace remarks. In fact, my attention was almost wholly absorbed in my dinner: not from appetite, but fro m the toughness of the beefsteaks, and the numbness of my ha nds.“I have had so little time to attend to their education myself, but I think they are clever children, and very willing to learn, especi ally the little boy; he is, I think, the flower of the flock— a genero us, noble-spirited boy, one to be led, but not driven, and remarkable for al ways speaking the truth.”“His sister Mary Ann will require watc hing,” continued she, “but she is a very good girl on the whole, t hough I wish her to be kept out of the nursery as much as pos sible, as she is now almost six years old, and might acquire bad habits from the nurses. I have ordered her bed to be placed in your room, and if you will be so kind as to look after her washin g and dressing, and take charge of her clothes, she needs to ha ve nothing further to do with the nursery maid.”I replied I was quite willing to do so; and at that moment the chil dren entered the room. Tom Bloomfield was a well-grown boy of seven. Mary was a tall girl, for her age of six, som ewhat dark like her mother. The second sister was Fanny, a very pretty little girl, looking little younger than Mary. The remainin g one was Harriet, a little broad, fat, merry, playful thing of scar cely two, whom I had more desire for than all the rest — but with her I had nothing to do.67. Which of the following statements best describes how the w riter felt when she entered Mrs. Bloomfield's home?A. She was nervous, dissatisfied with her manners but still confi dent.B. She was cold, hungry but eager to see all the children in the family.C. She was frightened, nervous and regretful about her decisio n.D. She was calm, confident and very happy with all the family.68. What job would the writer take in Mrs Bloomfield's home?A. A nursery maid.B. A house cleaner.C. A home cook.D. A family teacher.69. Which of the following was TRUE according to the passage ?A. The writer had some difficulty with her lunch because of the t ough food and the cold.B. The delicious food took the writer's attention away from Mrs. Bloomfield’s words.C. All the children were well educated before the writer came to the family.D. All the children in the family were looked after by Mrs Bloomf ield herself.70. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A. Mrs Bloomfield would treat the writer kindly and help her a lotB. the youngest girl Harriet would be the writer’s favorite studen tC. the writer would take on more responsibilities than she shoul dD. Tom Bloomfield would be the cleverest of all the children 【参考答案】2.67-70 ADAC【福建省漳州市2014高考英语第三次联考试题】BBecause of the financial crisis in the US and , college students are beginning to struggle to find ways to pay their tuition fees a nd accommodations.Recently, two major US student loan lenders—Citibank and JPMorgan Chase—announced they were leaving the student loan industry altogeth er. Because banks currently have a lack of credit(存款额), they are reluctant to offer students lowinterest loans(贷款) that need a severalyear wait for any return of interest.In the US, many undergraduates top up their financial needs wit h a private loan, although the majority can get governmentfund ed loans. In the 20052006 academic year, $17 billion in private student loans was used to finance higher education. The shortf all in private funding has yet to be covered and will hit many st udents hard.Across the Atlantic, students have been less troubled by the cri sis. Most undergraduates in the UK cover their university expen ses with governmentfunded loans and grants(助学金). Their biggest concern is a sudden steep increase in studen t rent.Most young professionals now rent houses, since 80 percent of UK mortgage schemes(住房抵押贷款计划) have disappeared—a direct result of the credit crisis. This has boosted the house re nt market.In large cities, students are paying almost 6.5 percent more in r ent than the previous year. Figures from the UK organization Accommodation for Student show students in big cities such as p aying an average weekly rent of $103.Yet, despite students' suffering, the number of this year’s univer sity applications is expected to grow. During economic slumps, people regard further education as a way to survive tough job m arkets.60. According to the passage, banks are unwilling to offer stude nts loans because ________.A. the students are poor and sometimes they can’t pay off the debtB. banks prefer lending the money to the young professionalsC. banks don’t have enough money left at the present timeD. they think college students are not studying hard61. The underlined phrase “top up” in Paragraph 3 probably me ans ________.A. put upB. make upC. fill upD. pick up62. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ?A. college students have to pay more if they want to rent hou ses.B. More UK students want to further their study in college.C. It is not so easy for US students to loan money now.D. College students' tuition fees have risen greatly.63. It can be inferred that ________.A. there are no private student loan lenders in theB. loans for US college students will be increased next yearC. private funding falls a little because of higherinterest loans in theD. private loans play a very important role in financing US stu dents’ education64. The passage mainly tells us ________.A. college students in the US and are faced with their financi al crisisB. it is the duty of the governments to solve college students' f inancial crisisC. private student loan is a good way for college students to o vercome the difficultiesD. further education is a good way for college students to surv ive tough job markets【参考答案】60—64、CCDDA较难题目特训：人物故事类Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the Univer sity of California San Diego(UCSD)for two decades, has won th e 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category forher most recent book, “Versed”."I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Crit ics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,” said Armantrout."For a long time, my writing has been just below the media rada r, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th boo k, is really surprising.”Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degre e at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Le vertov, and her master’s in creative writing from .

高中英语阅读理解(人物故事)的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．Directions: Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.When she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging.But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel —something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her.It's no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as "The Mother of Dance," with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life.In her autobiography (自传), one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasn't constantly watched. The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open-ended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do.Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that she was either completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasn't one moment Duncan doubted her own genius.There is an old quotation "if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance.（1）What does the underlined phrase "treat troubles as fuel" mean?A.Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream.B.Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles.C.Troubles turned Duncan into a confident girl.D.Troubles lit the fire of dancing in Duncan.（2）Which of the following is TRUE about Duncan?A.Her experience in New York was the foundation of her career.B.Her teaching job when she was little destroyed her confidence.C.Her dancing style was not very well received at the beginning.D.Her mother set higher expectation on her than she could bear.（3）What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph?A.It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish.B.Everybody is a genius in his own way.C.Miseries come from human stupidity.D.Teachers can impact students greatly.（4）What is this passage mainly about?A.Isadora Duncan's childhood and her achievements today.B.Duncan's career development and other dancers' opinions of her.C.Isadora Duncan's early experiences and the reasons for her success.D.Duncan's high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，伊莎多拉·邓肯十岁时辍学去教别人跳舞，作者讲述了她的早期的经历以及其取得成功的原因。

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.

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 begunto grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.Day after day I noted the flowers' progress.

英语阅读理解(人物故事)练习题20篇及解析

英语阅读理解(人物故事)练习题20篇及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解Sometimes just when we need the power of miracles to change our beliefs, they materialize in the places we'd least expect. They can come to us as a great change in our physical reality or as a simple coincidence in our lives. Sometimes they're big and can't be missed. Other times they're so subtle that if we aren't aware, we may miss them altogether. They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously meet at just the right instant. If we listen carefully, we'll always hear the right words, at the right time, to dazzle (目眩) us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.On a cold January afternoon in 1989, I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt's Mt. Horeb. I'd spent the day at St. Catherine's Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path, I'd occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language, there was one man that day who did neither.I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. As he got closer, I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers I'd seen. Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm, this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing. He wore a tattered, rust-colored galabia and obviously old and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so odd, though, was that the man didn't even appear to be Egyptian! He was a small-framed Asian man, had very little hair, and was wearing round, wire-rimmed glasses.As we neared one another, I was the first to speak, "Hello," I said, stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought that maybe he hadn't heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction. Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail, looked up from the ground, and spoke a single sentence to me in English, "Sometimes you don't know what you have lost until you've lost it." As I took in what I had just heard, he simply stepped around me and continued his going down the trail.That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. The year was 1989, and the Cold War was drawing to a close. what the man on the trail couldn't have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage (朝圣), and specifically during my hike to the top of Moses's mountain, that I'd set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry, my friends, my family, and, ultimately, my life.I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up, stopping before me, and offering his wisdom, seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy: the odds were slim to none! In a meet that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home, a total stranger had brought clarity and the hint of a warning, regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way ofthinking, that's a miracle.I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are In the moments when we don't,that's okay as well. It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again.And each time they do, they become a little less subtle, until we can't possibly miss the messagethat they bring to our lives!The key is that they're everywhere and occur every day for different reasons, in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.（1）Why did the author make a pilgrimage to Mt Horeb in Egypt?A. He was in search of a miracle in his life.B. It was a holy place for a religious person to head for.C. He intended to make arrangements for his life in the future.D. He waited patiently in expectation of meeting a wise person.（2）What does the underlined part "my own question" refer to in paragraph 6?A. For what reason did the man stop before me?B. Why did the Asian man go to the mountain?C. What change would I make within a matter of days?D. What was the probability that others told us the right words?（3）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "subtle" in paragraph 7?A. Apparent.B. Delicate.C. Precise.D. Sufficient.（4）The author viewed the meet with the Asian man as a miracle in his life in that ________.A. the Asian man's appearance had a deciding effect on his future lifeB. his words were in perfect response to the need he had at that momentC. what the Asian man said was abundant in the philosophy of lifeD. the Asian man impressed on him the worth of what he had possessed（5）What might be the best title for the passage?A. Can you recognize a miracle?B. Is a miracle significant to us?C. When might a miracle occur?D.

(英语)高三英语阅读理解(人物故事)的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)

（英语）高三英语阅读理解(人物故事)的技巧及练习题及练习题(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.

Johann Strauss was born in Vienna in 1825. His father, a well-known musician, was a strange and moody man. He did not want any of his children to be musicians. He whipped young Johann because the boy insisted he should study music. At last, Johann left his family permanently.

The only good thing about the family separation, it seemed, was that young Johann would be free to study music.The dance called the waltz developed from a peasant dance in three-quarter time. The waltz became popular in Vienna, so it was only natural that Johann would be attracted to it.The orchestra Johann’s father had directed was prepared to break up whe n the elder Strauss suddenly died. Young Johann offered to take his father’s place. Most of the musicians questioned that a young man would expect to fill the shoes of a famous father. They did not take into consideration that the son already had an orchestra of his own which was becoming well known.

Their first performance was a memorial concert played in his father’s honor.Soon Vienna was paying tributes to the son.

高中英语阅读理解(人物故事)的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解In the nineteenth century, one of America's greatest writers, Walt Whitman, helped people learn to value poetry. Whitman created a new kind of poetry.Walt Whitman was born in eighteen nineteen in New York City. During his long life, he watched America grow from a young nation to the strongest industrial power in the world. As a young man, Whitman worked as a school teacher, a printer and a newspaper reporter. He was thirty-six years old when he published his first book of poetry in eighteen fifty-five. He called it Leaves of Grass. It had only twelve poems. The poems are written in free verse. The lines do not follow any set form. Some lines are short. Some are long. The words at the end of each line do not have a similar sound. They do not rhyme.One of America's greatest thinkers and writers immediately recognized the importance of Leaves of Grass. Ralph Waldo Emerson praised Whitman's work. But most other poets and writers said nothing and even denounced it. Most readers also rejected Whitman's poems. The new form of his poetry surprised many people. Even his own brother told Whitman that he should stop writing poetry. But Whitman had many things to say. And he continued to say them. Readers began to understand that America had a great new poetic voice.Walt Whitman's poems praise the United States and its democracy. The poet expressed his love for America and its people in many ways. Experts today praise Leaves of Grass as a major literary work. In eighteen seventy-three, Walt Whitman suffered a stroke. He spent the last years of his life in Camden, New Jersey. Whitman was poor and weak during the last years of his life. He died in eighteen ninety-two.

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。

（英语）高二英语阅读理解(人物故事)专题训练答案一、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.

Disapproving.（4）Why does the author write the text?A. To discuss why libraries are important.B. To express her deep love for libraries.C. To explain how libraries change.D. To introduce her favorite libraries.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了从自己小时候到成家生子再到工作教书这一路上图书馆的变化。

These works were displayed in Pingyao, an ancient city in Shanxi Province, under the title Beijing Midsummer Night Dream in September 2010.The moon doors serve as a keyhole through which one can catch a glimpse of a slice of Beijing life.

Artistic manager, writer and diplomat. A noted Sinophile, Bartolome frequently visits China for photographic subjects. In the fall of 2003, he joined the French Embassy in Beijing as a cultural attache. His work experience in China from 2003 to 2015 further enhanced his awareness of and love for China.Bartolome not only loves Chinese culture but also the Chinese people. He thinks that Chinese people are kind, welcoming and diverse.Back from his bike ride to southeastern Beijing, he decided to shoot pictures about ordinary urban lifestyles. He observed dwellers carefully and made friends with them.After about 30 days and nights that he spent with these common migrants, he created a number of portraits. Meanwhile, he learned more about those rural migrants who earn their living in a city with which they are unfamiliar.He adopted an optimistic perspective to shoot the sights, and he borrowed the title of one of William Shakespeare s comedy works: A Midsummer Night's Dream.（1）What is the main purpose of the exhibition?A. To present Bartolome's photographic skills.B. To tell us Bartolome's work experience in Beijing.C. To show us Bartolome's optimistic view on ordinary life in Beijing.D.

All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. 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. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along and said, "This is your new home. There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully."Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends.
