AHappiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something goodto others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.21．When you do something wrong, _______________.A. you may correct itB. you will have no chance to challenge yourselfC. anybody will laugh at youD. you will be happy22．Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. When you get success, your friends will be very proud of you.B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D. All the above.23．Why do we say “Happiness is not the same as money”? Because _______________.A. money always brings happinessB. money doesn’t always bring happinessC. everything can be bought with moneyD. only rich people have happiness24．Which is the title of the passage?A. Do Something Good to OthersB. Happy and LuckyC. HappinessD. Life and SuccessB“Stop making excuses for him，Mom，”I said.“But maybe he is feeling unwell...” Mom said.“Maybe nothing，” I interrupted. I had been tending Mom since her health began to decline and this would be the first time in a year that my husband and I had a night out together. Jerry had promised to stay with Mom. But again he let us down. And more often than not，his drinking had a lot to do with it. His irresponsibility upset me.I remembered our happy growingup years in a small town in West Virginia. With good family education，Jerry had been a kind kid. He was only 15 when Daddied. Unlike him，I got over the sorrow soon，but he started drinking. Soon he began hanging out with bad guys.Jerry and I didn’t see each other often，but we talked on the phone. Usually，though，we ended up fighting. When Mom came to live with us，Jerry dropped in regularly at first，but after a while his visits became sporadic. He explained he couldn’t handle seeing Mom in such a bad condition. Another excuse，I thought.One day I went to see the doctor about my back.It had been aching for months.“I can’t find anything wrong with you physically，”the doctor said.“But I can tell you’re very tense. Is something bothering you？” I poured out my story about Jerry.“Do you think he’s likely to change？” he asked. I shrugged.“Probably not.”“But，you can，”he said gently.Me？Why did I have to change？He was the one who constantly let us down.But what had I done？Maybe the doctor was right. I couldn’t love his behavior，but I could love him—the way I did when we were little. As I walked into the house I sensed a relief.Jerry died young due to drinking .I miss him. But I’m grateful I was given the opportunity to show him I loved him—as he was，not as I wanted him to be.25. Jerry got into the habit of drinking mainly because________.A.he was influenced by bad guysB.his mom left to live with his sisterC.nobody cared for him after his father diedD.he couldn’t get over the sadness of losing his father26. The underlined word “sporadic” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．A.occasionalB.frequentC.formalD.unpleasant27. What did the author think of the doctor’s suggestion at first?A.It was acceptable.B.It gave her much hope.C.It was unreasonable.D.It made her confused.28. What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Love can help a person give up bad habits.B.Too much tension will destroy a person’s health.C.We shouldn’t expect too much of a person.D.We should try to love a person as he is.CDigital technology-email and smart phones especially-have vastly improved workers’ ability to be productive outside of a traditional office. Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses arc doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn’t accept it, and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated.Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (加深) by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework, and 28 percent have cooked dinner.It is true, however, that working at home makes people much more efficient (高效的), because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. It’s much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven’t come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven’t worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility (灵活性) to manage their time efficiently.29. Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?A. They have little trust in modem technology.B. They want to stick to their routine practice.C. They fear losing control of their workers.D. They are used to face-to-face communication.30. What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working?A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Reserved.D. Disapproving.31. What does the author suggest smart firms do?A. Shorten their office hours.B. Give employees a pay raise.C. Reduce their staffs workload.D. Adopt flexible work patterns.DLondoners are great readers. They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books — especially paperbacks (平装书), which are still cheap in spite of everincreasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in bookselling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which is said to be “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Some of these shops stock, or will make efforts to get, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in secondhand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on economics, politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For really cheap secondhand books, collectors must venture_off_the_beaten_track to Farringdon Road, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books onto small handcarts (手推车) which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs (业余爱好者), who have been waiting for them, run quickly towards the books. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds.32．“Londoners are great readers” means that ________.A．Londoners are great because they read a lotB．there are a great number of readers in LondonC．Londoners are readers who read only great booksD．Londoners read a lot33．According to this passage, Charing Cross Road ________.A．is in the suburbs of London B．is famous for its bookshops C．contains various kinds of shops D．is the busiest street in London 34．In this passage, what does the underlined part “venture off the beaten track” mean?A．Buy books in a most busy street. B．Move away from a busy street. C．Waste time looking for books. D．Take a risk of losing one's life. 35．The best topic for this passage is “________”．A．Bookshops in London B．The biggest bookshop in the world C．Charing Cross Road D．Buying books in London第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇My two daughters and I got into the car to spend our weekend in Florida. Autumn, the elder one, offered to drive. I sat next to her, and Amber sat in back. After setting off, the three of us sang to the radio at the top of our voice.I t was a great trip until the rain poured and the rain was too heavy. “I have to pull over, ” Autumn said. She tried to enter the far right lane (车道) to find a place to stop, but trucks ran fast, making water onto our car. The car was out of control, then worse — it started to move left and right. Autumn fought to control it but it was too late. We ran into a truck. The girls jumped out of the car. My chest felt much pain.“Get out, Mom. Come on！” Amber cried. “I can't,” I said. Autumn took out her cellphone, “There's been an accident. Send an ambulance (救护车)！” Amber and Autumn pulled me out of the car and helped me lie on my back in the grassy area by the roadside. I had to calm myself and looked up. A man held a large umbrella over me and other kind faces appeared above me. A woman helped to treat a cut over Amber's eye. Another woman came close to me and said, “No one in the truck was injured. Help was on the way.” The woman mentioned she was a nurse; the other woman who took care of Amber's cut was an eye specialist. We couldn't have asked for better care.In the hospital the pain in my chest began to disappear. Later, the tests at the hospital made sure we had no serious injuries. We'd left all our troubles behind thanks to these kind people, who seemed to be angels (天使) in my eyes.1．How did the author and her two daughters feel after setting out?A．They were worried about the weather.B．They enjoyed themselves greatly.C．They thought it was a long journey.D．They felt lucky to take the journey.2．What was Autumn going to do when the rain poured?A．To stop by the roadside.B．To follow the truck closely.C．To get into the fast traffic lane.D．To move the car left and right.3．What can be the best title for the text?A．Unexpected heavy rainB．Leave our troubles behindC．Kind angels saved the dayD．My two kind daughters【答案】1．B2．A3．C【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。

pointed to a string（绳子）between a big strong tree and a thin young one．“Please untie（解开）that string，” he said．The young man untied it，and the young tree bent（弯）over to one side．“Now tie it again，please，” said the old man，“but first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again．”The young man did so．Then the old man said，“There，it is the same with children．You must be strict with them，but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on．If they are not yet able to stand alone，you must tie the string tight again．But when you find that they

but imaginative（富于想象力）electrical engineer named Christopher Cockerell began an experiment that was soon to change the world．He came up with an idea to make boats go faster，by using a vacuum cleaner（真空吸尘器）．Using his wife's vacuum cleaner he was able to reverse（使倒转）the motor so that it blew instead of sucking．The air that blew out beneath（下面）acted as a cushion against surfaces．Years later，his principle of cushioned air made it possible for the first hovercraft（气垫船）to be successfully built and tried out．A journey along the Amazon River proved to the world that the hovercraft was both wonderful and useful．The invention that began in the kitchen and the boatyard of an ordinary home led to a thousand other inventions．Today hovercrafts carry passengers in comfort over rough

his subjects．He hoped to become a good teacher．This year he left the college and began to work in a middle school．He likes his students and is strict（严格的）with them．He does his best to make his classes lively and interesting．One day he carefully explained a chemical reaction（反应）to the students of Grade 2 in the chemistry lab．“Be careful，everyone，” he said loudly．“Before I make the experiment，there're twenty five atoms of carbon（碳原子），but after I finish it，there're twenty four atoms of carbon left！”He stopped to watch the classroom and hoped his students would go on explaining it．But the young men looked at each other and nobody answered him．He had to ask，“What happens？What makes the atom lost？”The classroom was very quiet and none of the students looked at their teacher．“Who can tell us where it has gone？”Suddenly a soft voice came from the back row，“We did not see anybody leave the lab！”16．Charlie began to work in the middle school because ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．he had been in the school for four yearsB．he couldn't do anything except teachingC．he hoped to become a good teacherD．he did well in all his subjects17．Charlie hopes ＿＿＿，so he does his best to make his classes lively and interesting．A．all his students could understand himB．his students wouldn't be afraid of himC．his students carefully watched him making the experimentD．his students could do well in

spoken．Secondly，we must be able to speak it ourselves，with confidence （自信）and without hesitation（犹豫）．Thirdly，we must do much reading．Finally，we must be able to write it．We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar．There are no shortcuts to success in language learning．A good memory is a great help，but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book．It is not much learning by heart long lists（一览表）of words and their meanings，studying the dictionary and so on．We must learn by using the language．If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized，we are not really learning the language．We must “learn through use．” Practice is important．We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can．21．The most important things to learn a foreign language are ＿＿＿＿＿.A．understanding and speakingB．listening，speaking，reading and writingC．writing and understandingD．memorizing and listening22．Someone hears and writes English very well，but he speaks it very badly．This is because ＿＿＿＿＿．A．he doesn't understand the language when he hears it spokenB．he doesn't have a good memoryC．he always remembers lists of words and their meaningsD．he often hesitates（犹豫）to practise speaking it23．One can never learn a foreign language well by ＿＿＿＿＿．A．doing much practice B．studying the dictionaryC．learning through use D．using the language 24．Which is the most important in learning a foreign language？A．A good memory．B．Speaking．C．Practice．D．Writing．25．“Learn through use” means ＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．we use a language in order to learn itB．we learn a foreign language in order to use itC．we can learn a language well while we are keeping using it D．B and C．2高一英语阅读训练（2）AWhat is language for？Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better．That's wrong．Language is for the exchange（交流）of ideas and information．It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely．Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules，but they can't speak correctly or fluently（流利地）．They are afraid of making mistakes．One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language．Native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too．Bernard Saw once wrote，“Foreigners often speak English too correctly．” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make．They're English mistakes in the English language．And if enough native speakers break a rule，it is no longer a rule．What used to be wrong becomes right．People not only make history，they make language．But a people can only make its own language．It can't make another people's language．So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar，but they shouldn't overdo（做过头）it．They should put communication（交际）first．1．Language is used to ＿＿＿＿＿．A．express oneself B．practise grammar rulesC．talk with foreigners only D．learn lists of words2．Generally，when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he ＿＿＿＿＿．A．never makes mistakes B．often makes mistakesC．can't avoid making mistakes D．always makes mistakes 3．“Foreigners often spea k English too correctly．” This sentence means that ＿＿．A．foreigners speak correct EnglishB．foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC．foreigners speak English according to the grammar rulesD．foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English4．If too many native speakers break a rule，＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．what they use will become right B．they are against the lawC．they should say sorry to others D．they will become heroes 5．When we speak a foreign language，we should ＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．speak in Chinese way B．speak by the rulesC．speak to native speakers D．not be afraid of making mistakesBMr and Mrs Gordon were sitting on the sand，reading their magazines．Mr Gordon was too stingy（吝啬）to rent（租）a chair．Their twelve－year－old daughter，Sandra，was playing at the water's edge．Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out tosea．Fortunately（幸运的是），a lifeguard（救生员）was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away．He ran along the beach and dived into the sea．He swam quickly to where the girl，with her head only just above the water，was shouting for help．She was very frightened．When the lifeguard reached her she struggled（挣扎）with him，as drowning（即将淹死的）people often do．However，he was a skilful lifeguard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach．By the time he reached it，Mr and Mrs Gordon had realized what had happened．They had run down to the water's edge．Neither of them could swim．They just stood in the shallow water，and worried about their daughter．Had the lifeguard reached her in time？Fortunately，he had．“That was quick work，young man，”Mr Gor don said．He turned to his wife，“Give the lifeguard a dollar．” “A dollar！” Sandra cried．“Dad，how can you give him a dollar！He saved my life．I was half dead．” “Quite right，girl ” Mr Gordon said，pleased by his daughter's awareness（知道）of the value of money．He turned to his wife again and said，“She's right．She was only half dead．Give him fifty cents．”6．What happened to Sandra？A．She ran into the sea．B．Her life was saved by a lifeguard．C．She was drowned．D．She died．7．What would probably have happened to Sandra if the lifeguard had not been on the beach？A．Her father would have saved her．B．Her mother would have saved her．C．She would have swum back to the beach．D．She would have been drowned．8．What did Mr and Mrs Gordon do when Sandra was carried out to sea by the wave？A．They shouted to the lifeguard．B．They dived into the water．C．Perhaps they were reading magazines．D．They offered the lifeguard money to save Sandra．9．Why was Sandra angry with her father？A．He did not give the lifeguard any money．B．He did not swim out to save her．C．He did not show the lifeguard hearty thankfulness．D．He gave the lifeguard too much money．10．Why was Mr Gordon pleased with her daughter？A．She was safe again．B．She was polite to the lifeguard．C．He thought she did not want him to give the life-guard too much money．D．She gave the lifeguard fifty cents．CAs one comes to some crossroads，he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead．At other crossroads，drivers have to go slow，but they do not actually have to stop （unless，of course，there is something coming along the main road）；and at still others，they do not have either to stop or to go slow，because they are themselves on the main road．Mr Williams，who was always a very careful driver，was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad．It had a “Slow” sign．He slowed down when he came to the main road，looked both ways to see that nothing was coming，and then drove across without stopping completely．At once he heard a police whistle，so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped．A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said，“You didn't stop at that crossing．”“But the sign there doesn't say 'stop'”，answered Mr Williams．“It just says 'Slow'，and I did go slow．”The policeman looked around him，and a look of surprise came over hisface．Then he put his notebook and pen away，scratched his head and said，“Well，I'm in the wrong street！”11．Mr Williams was driving ＿＿＿＿one evening．A．to a party B．to his officeC．home after work D．to work from home12．When he was stopped by a policeman，he ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．was driving at a high speed B．was driving on the main road C．was going to stop his car D．was driving slowly 13．Though slowly，Mr Williams continued driving at the crossing because ＿＿＿．A．he didn't see any“stop”sign thereB．he paid no attention to the traffic regulationsC．he didn't have to stopD．he was eager to get home14．The policeman was ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿at Williams' words．A．angry B．surprised C．upset D．puzzled 15．Looking round Mr Williams，the policeman was surprised because ＿＿＿＿．A．he met a mad manB．he realized that he himself was mistakenC．Mr Williams dared to speak to him like thatD．Mr Williams would not apologize to himDIn Canada you can find dogs，cats，horses，etc．in almost every family．These are their pets．People love these pets and have them as their good friends．Before they keep them in their houses，they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections（注射）so that they won't carry disease．They have special animal food stores，though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store．Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food．When you visit people's houses，they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them．You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden．All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal．They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada．They have a law against killing wild animals．If you killed an animal，you would be punished．If an animal happened to get run over by a car，people would be very sad about it．People in Canada have many reasons to like animals．One of them might be：Their family ties are not as close as ours．When children grow up，they leave their parents and start their own life．Then the old will feel lonely．But pets can solve this problem．They can be good friends and never leave themalone．16．The passage mainly talks about ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．how to keep disease from pets B．pets in CanadaC．how to take good care of pets D．life of the old in Canada 17．They give their pets injections before keeping them at their houses because ＿＿＿．A．the pets are sick B．the pets are

every family has a birdcage in his house．D．Any bird can come to the bird feeders to eat．E Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again．They want to bring water to the deserts，so people can live and grow food．They are learning a lot about the deserts．But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time．Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time．Why is more and more land becoming desert？Scientists think that people make deserts．People are doing bad things to the earth．Some places on the earth don't get much rain．But they still don't become deserts．This is because some green plants are growing there．Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places．Plants don't let the sun make the earth even drier．Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away．When a bit of rain falls，the plants hold the water．Without plants，the land can become desert more easily．21．Deserts ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．never have any plants or animals in themB．can all be turned into good land before longC．are becoming smaller and smallerD．get very little rain22．Small green plants are very important to dry places because ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿．A．they don't let the sun make the earth

much rain will become desertsD．it is better to grow crops on dry land than to cut them3AWhy do people in all countries ride in buses to school，to work and to far places？Buses can go where trains and airplanes cannot．They do not cost as much to travel on．Even though they may not move as fast as airplanes and trains，they sometimes take people between two places faster．This is because they may travel a more direct way，or may leave more often，or at better times．Buses come in different sizes．A small bus can carry only eight or ten people．A large one might have seats for fifty to seventy people and have standing room for more．Thousands of yellow school buses carry millions of children to school every year．Most of these buses have seats placed quite close together to fit in as many children as possible．Some schools buy their own buses．Others pay to use buses that belong to bus companies．City and town buses carry people for short distances．The seats of these are close together，and there is standing room as well．Most city buses have two doors so that people can get on and off quickly．Long distance buses go from state to state or country to country．Theygive people the chance to travel across huge stretches of land．These buses have comfortable seats that can be moved to different positions．They have places to store suitcases．Many have washrooms．All these things are important on a long trip．1．Compared with trains and planes，buses don't have the advantage of ＿＿＿＿．A．cheap fare B．frequent travel C．safety D．directness 2．A large bus might carry ＿＿＿＿people．A．at

landC．small but beautiful landD．huge districts of land5．There are different kinds of buses mentioned in this passage except ＿＿＿＿．A．short-distance buses B．direct busesC．school buses D．long-distance busesBEvery day millions of letters go from one country to another．Letters mailed in Italy are received in Japan．Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa．On the letters are many different kinds of stamps，bought in different countries．The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible．It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters，postcards，and

【英语】高一英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Money is the root of all evil (邪恶) and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》).They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive ears ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving mow modest cars.In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher — class families were more likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings. Finally, it just makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self- interest,” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts（本能）and values in different ways.（1）By saying “money is the root of all evil”, the author wants to .A. link wealth with bad behaviorB. draw readers' attention to the researchC. show how the saying proves the findingsD. defend rich people who do immoral things （2）According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?A. They welcome risks.B. They have more desires.C. They believe money talks.D. They become more selfish.（3）Why did the scientists do the experiments?A. To show how social status affects people's morality.B. To show people's instincts and values in different ways.C. To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.D. To show the difference between higher - class people and lower - class people.（4）What does the passage really want to show us?A. The poor are respectable.B. Money is the root of all evil.C. All rich people are untrustworthy.D. The rich are more likely to act badly.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者主要通过展示几个实验的结果，旨在证明"金钱是一切罪恶的根源"这一说法可能是有一定道理的。

The first English people were fishermen there , and they named the place Greenwich , meaning "green village". Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful places .The name of the earliest palace was Placentia . Its windows were made of glass ---the first in England .Henry VIII lived there . He knew that England must be strong at sea . So he started two big ship-yards (船坞）at Greenwich ,and for 350 years the ships which were made there were the best in the world .But trouble was coming to Greenwich . In 1649 , a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king . The men who had worked for him at Placentia decided to live the place themselves . They sold all its beautiful things , and bought small pieces of the palace garden with money . Finally , the war ended and King Charles II came back . But Placentia was falling down . So King Charles built a new and bigger palace , which is now open to the public .At this time , Charles was worried about losing so many of its ships at sea : their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were . So in 1675 , Charles made John Flamsteed , the first astronomer (天文学家）in England , try to find the answer . Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park . From it with a telescope which he made himself , Flamsteed could look all round the sky . And he did , night after night , for twenty years . Carrying on Flamsteed's work a hundred years later , an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which toldthe time at sea , and helped sailors to know where they were .You can see Harrison's clock , still working , in Greenwich's museum of the sea . Because of Flamsteed's work , every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time .___45. The first English people living in the "green village" were _____ .A. sailorsB. fishermenC.

高一英语阅读训练（3）AWhy do people in all countries ride in buses to school，to work and to far places？Buses can go where trains and airplanes cannot．They do not cost as much to travel on．Even though they may not move as fast as airplanes and trains，they sometimes take people between two places faster．This is because they may travel a more direct way，or may leave more often，or at better times．Buses come in different sizes．A small bus can carry only eight or ten people．A large one might have seats for fifty to seventy people and have standing room for more．Thousands of yellow school buses carry millions of children to school every year．Most of these buses have seats placed quite close together to fit in as many children as possible．Some schools buy their own buses．Others pay to use buses that belong to bus companies．City and town buses carry people for short distances．The seats of these are close together，and there is standing room as well．Most city buses have two doors so that people can get on and off quickly．Long distance buses go from state to state or country to country．They give people the chance to travel across huge stretches of land．These buses have comfortable seats that can be moved to different positions．They have places to store suitcases．Many have washrooms．All these things are important on a long trip．1．Compared with trains and planes，buses don't have the advantage of

the right place as quickly as possible．It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters，postcards，and small packages（包裹）．It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates（费用）．One hundred years ago，international mail did not move so smoothly．One country did not always accept another country's letters．Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries．Letters travelled by many different routes（路线）．Some were lostalong the way．Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage．The person receiving the letter had to pay the rest．The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work together to settle the questions of international mail．In 1974，men from twenty-four countries met in Switzerland to form the Universal Postal Union．Today，more than 120 nations belong to this union．From its office in Switzerland，the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly around the

plate to shake．The shaking is caused by the movement of the plates．Earthquakes are likely to happen at the boundaries（边界）of the earth's plates．Each of these plates is about 70 kilometres thick．11．The underlined word “crust”means “＿＿＿＿＿＿”．A．地面B．地皮C．地质D．地壳12．The underlined word “sections”is closest in meaning to “＿＿＿＿”．A．parts B．lines C．groups D．teams13．What are plates？A．The top layer of the

(专题)高一年级英语上册阅读理解专项训练含答案(50篇)
高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇To develop one's taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.My first English novel was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward (简洁的) style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones. However, if you restrict yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the peculiar sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion — essays are indispensable.Never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential (有很大影响的) the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.1．What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand? A．Complicated conversations.B．Sentences and Austen's thinking pattern.C．The old-fashioned vocabulary.D．Not knowing the social background.2．Which can best replace the underlined word "indispensable"?A．Necessary B．Challenging C．Relevant D．Inspirational 3．What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?A．Choose books that challenge us most.B．Read books that are instructive.C．Don't be affected by others' choices.D．Compare books before buying.4．What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?A．Give comments on literature works.B．Tell beginners how to choose English books.C．Encourage people to read more English books.D．Recommend first class books to English learners.【答案】1．B2．A3．C4．B【分析】本文是一篇说明文。
高一英语上学期阅读理解专练20篇(带答案)
高一英语上学期阅读理解20篇（一）一As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.1. Activities outside of the classroom refer to __________.A. what the students do after class in schoolB. what the students learn in extra classesC. what a music group or a sports team doD. what the teachers do after class for the students2.

But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport. This passport is a government request(要求) for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a government' s pledge (保证) that the people will obey the rules of the host country. To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove(证明) that he is an American citizen. An American can not go abroad without a passport. Only some close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports. Inside the passport is the traveller's picture. Children travelling with their parents are included(包含) in one parent's book. Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveller might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things, but the most important that he carries inanother country is his passport.1. A passport is not needed when an American goes to .A. foreign countriesB. dangerous areasC. Canada or MexicoD. foreign countries2. From the passage we can see thatA. children can' t travel to foreign countriesB. Americans like travellingC. a traveller is not safe in most countriesD. Americans like to travel to close countries3. Which statement does the passage lead you to believe?A. People should take care of their passports.B. It is not important to have a passport to travel.C. Children are never included in a passport.D. When you are in another country, money is more important than a passport.4. Which of the following statements is true?A.When Americans are travelling in another country, they must obey the rules of the country.B. The American government sometimes allow its people to travel to dangerous places.C. A passport is needed wherever an American is travelling.D. A passport only helps the traveller to know where he will go.三It takes many years for you to grow up. There are two periods in your life when you grow rapidly. The first period begins right after you are born and lasts until you are about six months old. The second period starts when you reach the age of 13. First, girls grow faster than boys, then boys catch up and grow faster and stronger.Your head stops growing earlier than the rest of you. By the time you are ten, your head is nearly full size. The bones of your arms and legs are short when you are a baby. When you reach the age of nine, your bones starts to grow rapidly, and will keep growing until you reach your full height (高度).Besides growing taller, your body changes in other ways. When a boy is about 13 years old, his voice begins to get deeper and he may begin to grow a beard (胡子). At about the age of 13, a girl’s body begins to function (运行) like a woman’s. Some important changes are taking place, changes that makes it possible for boys and girls, when they are older, to become fathers and mothers.1.

She smokes, stays out late, and she curses(咒骂). I love her but I am ashamed of her. I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18. What am I supposed to do until then?Prisoner of a Crazy HouseDear 7th Grader,I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you get older and mature.While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser. I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit your friends at their homes.Fortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. But they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher or guidance advisor who makes all the difference!Do it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own future. Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how good you really are.Michelle1.

But things now could not be more different. Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea.But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cook themselves.“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there is nothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work.”In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.1. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.A. They have no time to cook at home.B. They get up too late.C. They won’t bother to cook themselves.D. They will go to church.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Britons used to go to church on Sundays.B. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.C. British women usually did their shopping during the week in the past.D. British men did little housework at home in the past.3. The text mainly tells us ________.A. what Britons did on SundaysB. why Britons go shopping on SundaysC. how Britons spend their holidaysD. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Men do more housework on Sundays.B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.C. No people go to church on Sundays now.D. Britons all go out on Sundays.六Young people in most countries like to dance. Different peoples have different kinds of dances.Pretend (假装)that you are in Africa. You are visiting the Kikuyu tribe.Hear the drums beat! Listen to the flutes! Almost 2,000 Kikuyus are meeting for the most important dance of the year.First, the Kikuyus choose a large, flat place for their dance. For hundreds of years, they have danced on an autumn night when the moon is full. The moon and the flame from small fires light the dancers.Older people watch from the side while young men and women gather at the dancing place. The girls wear leather skirts and tops. The men wear fancy headdresses and carry spears. The dancers' skin and clothes are colored by light red chalk. The chalk and the firelight make the dancers look like statues.The dancers act out stories of good and bad deeds. The dances tell stories of lion hunts and other adventures. In one dance, the girls stand on the boys' feet. The girls are pretending to be afraid of snakes.All night the drums beat and the fires burn. But the dancers never seem to get tired.1. The place where the Kikuyu tribe dances is _______.A. flatB. SmallC. hillyD. square2. On the whole, this story is about ______.A. the beat of drumsB. an African danceC. African storytellingD. the Kikuyus3. What do the Kikuyu dances tell?A. The dances tell the story of drum beat.B. The dances tell about adventures.C. The dances tell funny jokes.D.

The most important event is singing.D. After the dancing, all the dancers got tired.九Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn’t speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round piece of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans didn’t understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round piece of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.1 Hamburg is ____________A. a kind of foodB. a round piece of beefC. the name of a villageD. a city in Germany2. According to the passage, ___________.A. few Americans like hamburgersB. hamburgers are made with beefC. hamburgers are made with hamD. hamburgers were first sold about a century ago3 According to the writer, which of the following can often be found in any large English dictionary?A. Where all the new words come from.B. Where those Germans came from.C. The reason why a word has a certain meaning.D. The reason why English is spoken around the world.4 From the story, we can know that the word “hamburger” comes from ___________.A.China because it has a long historyB. English because Germans don’t speak good EnglishC. The round piece of beef which those people from Hamburg were eatingD. English speakers because they always create new words八Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself. Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professorof your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.1. When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.A. as slowly as possibleB. in a low voiceC. loudlyD. forcefully2. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.A. noisyB. quietC. having a restD. serious3. The situation in the class is _________that in your house.A. not very different fromB. sometimes the same asC. sometimes not the same asD. not the same as4. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is____.A. to show your abilityB. to be very gentleC. to make sure that you can be heardD. to put the official at ease5. The main idea of this passage is _______.A. that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB. that we must speak loudlyC. that we must keep silent at any timeD. that we must talk with the class十一U.S.— A South African man could face up to 25 years in prison for joking that he was carrying a bomb on an airline, police said Friday.The 40-year-old man was arrested at Johannesburg airport on Thursday after he told an airhostess on nationwide airliner after take-off from Durban that he had a bomb in his bag.“We don’t take this sort of thing lightly. He could face a jail term of between five andtwenty-five years without the option (选择) of a fine.”Security precautions (安全措施) were taken against the man —a resident from the wealthy (富有) Johannesburg suburb of Sandown —on the flight.Airline people didn’t find any explosives or weapons in hi s bags.“Security measures at airport and on plane have been intensified（加强）immediately after the recent horrific and tragic terror（恐怖）attacks in America,”a police statement said.

He had worked on many international newspapers and magazines and traveled all over the world.Henry had witnessed wars and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and erupting volcanoes (火山爆发) .He had reported on serious accidents such as big fires and airline crashes.He had seen every kind of terrible crime and strange event there was.He had met and written about some of the most unusual people in the world.In fact, there wasn’t much that Henry had not seen or done.Now he retired from journalism(新闻业). He owned a very expensive restaurant and spent his days talking to his wealthy and important customers. He liked to say that nothing surprised him. One day he was sitting at the bar in his restaurant when a big gorilla walked in and asked for a table.Henry showed no surprise. He took the gorilla to a table and handed him a menu. He treated him politely and pretended there was nothing at all strange about having a gorilla in his restaurant. The gorilla looked through the menu and ordered a salad.Henry served the gorilla his salad personally, knowing that his waiters and waitresses would be too frightened.At last the gorilla finished his salad and asked for the bill.Henry wrote out the bill and handed it to the big animal.The gorilla studied it, shook his head sadly, then gave Henry fifty dollars.“Thank you”, Henry said, and then to make conversation he added, “We don’t get many gorillas in this restaurant.”“At fifty dollars for a salad,” the gorilla said, “I’m not surprised.”1．What does the under lined word “witness” mean?A. when something happens one sees or notices it on the spotB. to be part ofC. to tell what happensD. to feel unhappy with 2．According to the story, Henry had .A. had the most exciting experiencesB. told the longest storiesC. made historyD. caused accidents3．One day when a gorilla came into the restaurant, Henry was .A. very surprised by the gorillaB. not troubled by the gorillaC. very interested in the gorillaD. scared of the gorilla4．The gorilla was____A. angry with the saladB. still hungry after his saladC. not surprised by the cost of the foodD. surprised by the prices十二How to protect child web fans from unsuitable materials (不合适材料) on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US. For some time, the Internet seems like a forest, filled with dangers for children. But forests have wonders as well as dangers, and with good guides, some education and a few precautions(预防措施) ,the wilds of the Internet can besafely navigated(航行). "Children have to be on-line. If we tell our children they can' t have chances to the Internet, we' re cutting them off from their future," said an expert.Most children have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding lots of interesting Internet sites and they can also go to places where you might not want them to go. There are such engines made just for children. A certain software (软件) contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chances would be to use what is known as a "content screener(过滤器)”. But this can't be wholly safe, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:1) Don' t put the PC in a child's room, but keep it in a place where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.2) Ask your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.3) Tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.1. What is the main subject about the passage?A. Fighting against children on-line.B. Internet in America.C. American children going on-line.D. Children's web sites.2. According to the passage, we can infer thatA. the writer doesn't encourage children to surf the InternetB. the Internet has a lot of harmful sitesC. the Internet is a forest full of dangersD. a child who is on-line is in danger3. What does the passage tell us most?A. EducationB. Good guidesC. PrecautionsD. Software十四Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors , cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic(天主教的) school.After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead，he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time，day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.Finally，little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise，little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity .She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns(修女)? ”Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it? ”Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that mannailed to the plus sign(加号),I knew they weren’t joking. ”1.

From the passage, we can infer that____.A. teachers should be strict with their studentsB. mistakes might do good sometimesC. a catholic school is much better than other onesD. nuns are good at helping children with their math十三Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle（航天飞机）Challenger, in June, 1993. The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable. Students from two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however, are likely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.Norma didn’t travel along. She brought about 100 companions（伙伴）along with her. Norma was an ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony（群体）to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly through-out the long space trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. The problem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed. The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed. The hot dry desert air dried out the colony’s container（容器）and the ants died from lack of moisture（水分）.The project was termed a success because it did provide useful information. Students will continue their efforts to find out exactly what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficulties from recurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.1. The story is mainly about ___________.A. Sally Ride’s first rideB. space equipment for insectsC. a space experiment with antsD. going to school in New Jersey2. The project wasn’t a failure because ___________.A. some important things were learnedB. dead ants are betterC. everything went as expectedD. students wrote about it3.

We wanted to spend it with our kids and other immediate family and make it a special 1 for them, instead of 2 a babysitter and going out on our own. The logical way to do this was through 3 . As we all know, food had a magical way of making; a night 4 , and our New Year's Eve certainly 5 that way, thanks to doughnuts(甜甜圈).I decided to make doughnuts because my cousins had 6 a batch(一批) on Halloween and I found it very 7 . I used a recipe from the 1976 Mennonite cookbook More With Less and it 8 a curious ingredient---two cups of mashed potatoes that 9 made the texture lighter. The doughnuts were 10 and cut from a sheet of dough(生面团), then left to rise until ready to fry in hot oil. Then they took several seconds to 11 , which meant that my enormous batch of 100 doughnuts was 12 cooking in a fairly short time. We glazed(浇上浆液) the tops and then 13 them for the rest of the evening. The leftovers disappeared at breakfast.This will become an annual 14 , I have no doubt.

The development of processed foods(加工食品) has made food easier to get and prepare. 4 every coin has two sides. Apart from its advantages, the 5 of cooking also has its disadvantages.Though processed foods seem a great way to save 6 , they offer much less nutritional(营养的)value than traditional foods. People today are so 7 that they are not able to spend enough time preparing their food. As a result, many people 8 to eat processed foods, ready-to-cook meals and various fast foods. But what will 9 if one eats such food all year round? It will damage your 10 . The nutritional value of the food is not so high. Worse still, research shows that preservatives(防腐剂)used in these foods are 11 to children. That’s why health exper ts warn people not to eat too much of such 12 food.Besides, since people spend little time 13 food, the culture of cooking is slowly 14 . Cooking is not done just to satisfy hunger; it is also a(n) 15 form of art. Across the world, there are thousands of 16 cooking styles. If young people are used to processed foods, few of them will develop great cooking 17 . And when they become parents, it will be hard for their children to enjoy a(n) 18 homecooked meal. What’s more, co oking is a great time for 19 to connect. There is a lot of 20 when family members are preparing food together.In a word, I believe though processed food has made the preparation of food much easier, it hasnot been a good step for humankind.1．A．special B．basic C．right D．valuable 2．A．though B．before C．if D．unless 3．A．dangerous B．helpful C．troublesome D．surprising 4．A．So B．And C．But D．Or 5．A．easiness B．safety C．method D．difficulty 6．A．energy B．food C．money D．time 7．A．rich B．strange C．smart D．busy 8．A．choose B．dislike C．refuse D．stop 9．A．change B．happen C．get D．offer 10．A．future B．memory C．brain D．health 11．A．harmful B．useless C．meaningful D．necessary 12．A．cold B．sweet C．unhealthy D．hot 13．A．heating B．finding C．preparing D．storing 14．A．varying B．dying C．appearing D．developing 15．A．important B．famous C．simple D．new 16．A．regular B．ordinary C．different D．similar 17．A．knowledge B．lessons C．interests D．skills 18．A．delicious B．clean C．expensive D．cheap 19．A．patients B．friends C．families D．cooks 20．A．success B．work C．progress D．fun【答案】1．B2．C3．B4．C5．A6．D7．D8．A9．B10．D11．A12．C13．C14．B15．A16．C17．D18．A19．C20．D6．In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory 1 course about 20 years ago.The professor 2 the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans(豆), and invited the students to 3 how many beans the jar contained.

高一年级英语上册阅读理解专项练习附答案(50篇)
高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1 each year, people play tricks on each other. These tricks are usually silly rather than mean. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s shoelaces to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realise it’s only a joke. Newspapers announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant!”) and report on fake stories (like “UFO” lands in New York City).Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year. On April Fool’s Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens NO. 1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No. 4?The te achers looked and looked. They couldn’t find another chicken. After a few hours, they realised that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They’d been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s Day remains one of my favourite memories from those years.1．What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool’s Day?A．Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool’s Day.B．Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool’s Day.C．Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool’s Day.D．Newspapers often cheat people.2．Why did students set chickens free?A．They wanted to let chickens free. B．They wanted to let chickens run all round the school.C．They wanted to see feathers flying. D．They wanted to play a trick on the teachers. 3．How many jokes did the students play on the teachers?A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.【答案】1．A2．D3．B【分析】这是一篇记叙文。
