一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解If conditions get bad enough, almost any kind of weather can become a storm.Stormy weather can cause people to cancel their plans. It can cause major events to be postponed. And severe stormy weather can be dangerous to people, fortune and anima1.If you weather the storm, or ride out the storm, you survive and move on without harm or injury. For example, 1et's talk about Tornado Alley, the name for part of the central United States. During springtime, this area often has a large number of powerful tornadoes. People who live there are taught to shelter in the safest place they can find and wait for the storm to pass. People who live in Tornado Alley are used to weathering many storms!You can also weather a storm, but it does n't involve actual weather. “To weather the storm” can also mean to make it through a difficult experience or trying times. So, if the stock market(股市)crashes, you might have to weather a financial storm.Often before a big storm, conditions are calm. The calm before the storm can happen anytime. It is the time before something bad happens. For example, at the beginning of a family reunion, the adults were all talking happily. But the older children knew it was just the calm before the storm. They've seen it happen before. The adults talk happily for about an hour. Then they start arguing about events from the past—things that should really stay buried!But after the storm begins and you find yourself in the middle of it, you are in the eye of the storm. In the world of weather, the eye of the storm is the calmest part, in the center of a hurricane, for example. However, in the English language, if you are in the eye of the storm, you are in the most intense part of a conflict. For example, she had no idea that walking into the meeting would put her in the eye of the storm.However, a brainstorm does not exist in the world of weather. To brainstorm means to try to solve a problem by talking with other people. And don't worry. If we have trouble thinking of an idea for the next program, we can always brainstorm with you!（1）What's mainly discussed in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs?A. What the meanings of weathering the storm are.B. How we can weather the storm.C. Weathering a storm doesn't involve actual weather.D. People in Tornado Alley can survive the storm.（2）Why does the author mention a family reunion in the fifth paragraph?A. To stress the importance of weather forecast.B. To develop the awareness of family.C. To explain the meaning of an expression.D. To praise the older children for being clever.（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A problem can't be solved if you worry too much.B. A brainstorm often appears in the world of weather.C. Difficulties can be dealt with by teamwork.D. To brainstorm can cause troubles in the program.（4）What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To tell us stormy weather can cause destruction.B. To tell us some expressions about storm.C. To tell us a storm can cause conflicts.D. To tell us we should be ready for a storm.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

专题02-2021年新高考英语拓展阅读训练-学校及家庭生活(解析版)

专题02 – 学校及家庭生活Text 1（2020年全国山东高考卷）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲)to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. ''Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,'' she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful.4．What did Jennifer do after high school?A．She helped her dad with his work.B．She ran the family farm on her own.C．She supported herself through college.D．She taught her sisters and brothers at home.5．Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield?A．To take care of her kids easily.B．To learn from the best nurses.C．To save money for her parents.D．To find a well-paid job there.6．What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?A．Her health.B．Her time with family.C．Her reputation.D．Her chance of promotion.7．What can we learn from Jenifer's story?A．Time is money.B．Love breaks down barriers.C．Hard work pays off.D．Education is the key to success.【答案】4．C5．A6．B7．C【解析】这是一篇记叙文。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解City trees grow faster and die younger than trees in rural forestry, a new study finds. Over their lifetimes, then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air thah forest trees.As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe.Studies had shown forests readily absorb CO2, but there hadn't been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out.To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A tree's diameter increases as it grows, just as a person's waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years' tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2.City trees grew faster because they had less competition for light from their neighbors. In a forest, trees tend to grow close together, shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak.（1）What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2?A. It is one of the side effects of greenhouses.B. It greatly accelerates the process of global warming.C. It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels.D. It prevents the earth from becoming unsuitable to live on.（2）Why did researchers track the diameters of trees?A. To know about their growth rates.B. To find out how much they weigh.C. To check whether they were healthy.D. To assess the carbon amounts in them.（3）What advantage do city trees have over forest trees?A. They are more likely to access growth promoters.B. They can enjoy more water coming from the air.C. They can enjoy more shade from neighbors.D. They are better at competing for light.（4）What will probably be talked about if the passage is continued?A. How urban trees can live longer.B. Why city living makes trees die young.C. How trees respond to dry soil conditions.D. Why faster-growing trees absorb more CO2.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，一项新的研究发现：与长在森林中的树木相比，城市里的树木长得更快，但死得更早。

2020-2021高考英语一模试题分类汇编——阅读理解综合附答案

一、高中英语阅读理解1．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read."The history of the world is but the biography (传记) of great men," argued Thomas Carlyle, the advocate of what has come to be known as the "Great Man Theory of History." This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times. Whether or not Carlyle's theory proves true is debatable, but that certain individuals cast long shadows is not.As one who is entrusted with a leadership position, I find it profitable to read of others who have led. Wherever you find me, you'll likely find a good biography nearby. Why is this the case? First, I find good biographies fascinating. I'll occasionally read a novel, but I've never been overly drawn to fiction. I have found myself unable to sleep while in the struggle of the Battle of Britain in William Manchester's The Last Lion. For me, not to read biographies would rob me of pleasure in my life.Second, I find good biographies informative. A good biographer tells not only the story of a person, but also of their times. Reading a good biography is like wandering through an intellectual shopping mall. The first store is what drew you there, but you will be pleasantly surprised along the way at what other items grab your attention. You'll find no better account of the British Empire at its peak than the opening chapters of Manchester's Visions of Glory, volume one of his The Last Lion. Strictly speaking, a biography is but a slice of history.Third, I find good biographies relaxing. Winston Churchill once noted a man who works with his hands should have a hobby that engages his mind, and a man who works with his mind should have a hobby that engages his hands. Another way to apply Churchill's saying is to combine technical, pen-in-hand vocational reading with leisurely biographical reading. Indeed, few things are more relaxing to me than winding down the evening and entering into another world.This is why I love reading good biographies, and why I pity the person who neglects them. Don't be counted among their number.（1）What is implied in the first paragraph?A. The author finds Carlyle's theory undebatable.B. Carlyle believes great men alone cannot create history.C. It is debatable whether one should read great men's biographies.D. The author agrees that history is greatly influenced by certain men.（2）What does the underlined phrase "other items" in the third paragraph refer to?A. good biographiesB. stories of certain timesC. the volumes of The Last LionD. the chapters of the British Empire（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The author considers biographical reading enjoyable.B. The author can travel to another world in the evening.C. The author has fought many battles during his lifetime.D. The author profits commercially by reading biographies.（4）What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?A. To analyze the benefits of vocational reading.B. To introduce to readers his unique reading strategies.C. To present great men's history through biography reading.D. To recommend biography reading through his own experiences.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者阐述了喜欢读好的传记的原因。

2020-2021高考英语阅读理解综合试题附详细答案

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive for sustainable growth, local media reported.The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they're responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation, "Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal," said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30)for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.（1）According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into?A. Grey-colored dustbins.B. Red-colored dustbins.C. Green-colored dustbins.D. Blue-colored dustbins.（2）We can learn from the passage that ________.A. new technology has been applied to help deal with garbageB. Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than ShanghaiC. the change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizensD. the amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing（3）What is the best title for the text?A.How to Sort Garbage in ChinaB.The Current Regulation in BeijingC.Garbage Collection in BeijingD.Waste Recycling Project Counts（4）The passage can be sorted as ________.A.a book reviewB.a travel brochureC.an environment reportD.a geography essay【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了垃圾分类在北京的实施情况。

2020-2021高考英语阅读理解综合题含答案

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Your teenage best friend could be good for your long-term mental health, according to a new study published in the journal Child Development According to the findings, teenagers aged 15 to 16 who had a close friendship rather than a larger group of friends they were less close to had a greater sense of self-worth by the time they were 25 years old. Those people with a very close best friend were also less likely to experience depression and social anxiety, the study found. "Close friendship strength in mid-adolescence predicted relative increases in self-worth and decreases in anxiety and depressive symptoms by early adulthood, "the authors, led by Rachel K, Narr, a postdoctoral student focused on clinical psychology at the University of Virginia, wrote.A past research has suggested that adolescent friendships are important. Friendships during the teenage years predict academic success and improved mental health. But the new research further explores the type of friendships teenagers have. "My hunch(预感)was that close friendships compared to broader friendship groups and popularity may not function the same way," Narr told Quartz. "Being successful in one is not the same as being successful in the other." Many study participants did not continue to have a close relationship with their high-school best friend, leading the researchers to wonder what exactly was responsible for the mental health benefits. They suspected that the skills and ability to build such a friendship may be more important than the friendship itself.And as the researchers point out, those skills are not necessarily brought to bear in the world of social media. "As technology makes it increasingly easy to build a social network of shallow friends, focusing time and attention on developing close connections with a few individuals should be a priority," study co-author Joseph Allen said in a statement.（1）What is the benefit of having a close teenage friendship?A. Excellent performance in high school.B. A larger group of friends.C. Mental health by early adulthood.D. A large social network in the future.（2）What can we learn about the past research?A. It attached great significance to adolescent friendships.B. It was totally different from the new research.C. It helped improve teenagers' mental health.D. It compared broader friendship groups with popularity.（3）What did the researchers think might lead to the mental health benefits?A. Not continuing to have a close relationship.B. Having a best friend in high school.C. Understanding the world of social media.D. Knowing how to build a close friendship （4）What did the researcher Joseph suggest?A. Learning to use social media.B. Broadening your social circle.C. Improving the skills of making friends.D. Concentrating on high-quality relationship.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，研究发现，那些有非常亲密的好朋友的人也不太可能经历抑郁和社交焦虑。

2020-2021高考英语(阅读理解提高练习题)压轴题训练含答案解析

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解During this shopping season, salesmen will come up with different strategies to get your business. Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete for a sale. However, sight is not the only sensory (感官的) retail that companies use. Sounds and smells can also influence consumers' purchasing decisions.Nobel Prize-winning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response. A study published earlier this year compared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender (薰衣草) was given off and when it wasn't. It found that the smell increased the number of consumers' purchasing items and the amount of their purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of smell, many stores apply artificial scents (气味) through their heating and air-conditioning vents (通风口) or place scent machines above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.Ever felt frenzied due to a store's fast-paced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer's choice of music can have a big impact on consumers' moods. One study found that when subjected to loud music, consumers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers' satisfaction. Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers.Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isn't your best choices as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customers' experience. Online retailers (零售商) use a variety of other strategies to get your business, but you can always neglect those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.（1）The passage is mainly about ________.A. consumers' favorite sounds and smells while shoppingB. shopping malls' strategies for satisfying consumersC. some special services from super shopping mallsD. two factors affecting consumers' shopping decisions（2）What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Decorating stores with flowers becomes a fashion.B. Shops with special smells can attract more consumers.C. Smells can actually help businessmen gain more profits.D.

New explorations of the sky are being launched．B. Pollution caused by batteries is being controlled．C. Efforts are being made to make air travel greener．D. Demand for short-haul flights is increasing massively．26.Why is Harbour Air fit for electric flights？A. It runs short routes．B. It has a strong partner．C. Its planes can land on the sea．D. It has planes with powerful engines．27.The expression "added bonus" refers to the fact that electric planes ．A. give passengers more pleasant viewsB. bring airlines more financial benefitsC. offer more enjoyable flying experiencesD. cost less in maintenance than traditional ones28.What might be the biggest challenge of electric flyingA. To improve the ground service for e-planes．B. To find qualified technicians for e-plane industry．C. To calculate the energy needed to power e-planes．D. To balance power and weight of batteries in e-planes．29.What could be done during the transition from gas to electric in air flight？A. To produce new electric components．B. To increase battery consumption．C. To use mixed﹣power technology．D. To expand the landing field．30.What is the authorˈs attitude towards the prospect of electric flying？A. Short-sighted．B. Wait-and-see．C. Optimistic．D. Skeptical．(2021·天津市·历年真题)DStudying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you're studying history, asking yourself the question "why is history important" is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse (一瞥）into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution of your culture can provide.History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的）. Studying history can give us insight (洞察力）into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知）. We're scared of the things that we don't understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.History can inspire us to learn more. What's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere, and there is something in there for absolutely anybody.The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don't have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.31.The underlined part "where we are today" in Para.2 probably means ．A. the turning point in our historyB. the present state of our nationC. the location of our homelandD. the total area of our country32.According to the experts，why is history useful for people to handle challenges of life？A. The problems at present are similar to those in the past．B. Ancient people laid economic foundations for people today．C. The current challenges of life were predicted by the ancestors．D. People living long time ago knew more about how to solve problems．33.What can be concluded from Para.4？A. It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers．B. People are willing to accept foreign cultures．C. Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore．D. History helps us improve our cross﹣cultural awareness．34.With the example in Para.5，the writer intends to show that ．A. Charles Dickens contributes much to British literatureB. Oliver Twist can satisfy our curiosity for romantic poetsC. reading novels is a way to learn about a historical periodD. studying history can arouse p eopleˈs interest in other fields35.What could be the best title for the passageA. How to Build Cultural IdentityB. Why Studying History MattersC. Know the Past，Know the PresentD.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence(AI) software to recognize and follow up the faces of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)in the wild. The new software will allow researchers and wildlife conservationists to significantly cut back on time spent analyzing videos, according to the new paper published in Science Advances.For species(物种)like chimpanzees which have complex social lives and live for many years, getting photos of their behavior taken from short-term field research can only tell us so much," says Dan Schofield, researcher and DPhil student at Oxford University's Private Models Lab, School of Anthropology. "By taking advantage of the power of machine learning to unlock large video files, it makes it possible to measure behavior over the long term."The computer model was trained using over 10 million images(影像):from Kyoto University s Primate Research Institute(PRI) video files of wild chimpanzees in Guinea, West Africa. The new software is the first to continuously track and recognize individual a wide range of poses, performing with high accuracy in difficult conditions such as low lighting and poor image quality. "Access to this large video file has allowed us to use deep neural networks to train models to a degree that was previously not possible," says Arsha Nagrad, co-auther of the study and DPhil student at the Department of Engineer Science, University of Oxford." Additionally, our new software differs from previous primate face recognition software in that it can be applied to videos with limited manual intervention(人工干预), saving hours of time."The technology can be potentially used to monitor species for conservation Although the present application focuses on chimpanzees, the AI software provided will be applied to other species, and help drive the adoption of AI systems to solve(解决)a range of problems in the wildlife sciences.（1）What is the purpose of developing the new soft?A.To save wildlife researchers' time spent in the labs.B.To keep track of wildlife conservationists' behaviors.C.To protect chimpanzees and help them to live longer.D.To recognize and track the faces of wild chimpanzees.（2）What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Getting photos.B.Analyzing videos.C.A powerful machineD.The new AI software.（3）What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A.The working principle of the new software.B.Some limitations of using the new software.C.The unique advantages of the new software.D.Controversial attitudes to the new software.（4）What can be known from the last paragraph?A.Technology advance is the final goal of scienceB.The new software won't just be applied to chimpanzees.C.AI systems are widely used in the wildlife sciences.D.The application of the new technology isn't easy.【答案】（1）D（2）D（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种新的人工智能软件，这种软件可以识别和追踪黑猩猩的面孔,大大节省了研究者和野生动物保护者的时间，而且它还可以应用到其他的物种研究。

2020-2021高考英语试卷阅读理解题分类汇编(附答案)

2020-2021高考英语试卷阅读理解题分类汇编(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解If American waterways had ever been voted on the yearbook, the Buffalo River could easily have been named Ugliest. It could be hard to find hope there. It took decades for public perception of the river to shift. But activist citizens, who collaborated with industry, government, and environment groups never gave up on their polluted river—the Buffalo River gradually went from being considered a lost cause to a place worth fighting for. And by now the cleaned—up water is one of Buffalo'S biggest attractions.By the 1960s, the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes. The Buffalo River had caught fire many times. The surface had an oily layer, and any fish caught there were not eatable.The waterway's fate started shifting in the mid-1960s. Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish—American jeweler by day, but by evening he was the kind of guy who'd chase down dumpers(垃圾车)he spotted on the Buffalo River. By 1966 he found himself winning the National Wildlife Federation's "Water Conservationist of the Year" award. And before long he got a nickname:" Mr. Buffalo River. "But there was only so much he could do—the river was still declared biologically dead in 1969.Jill Spisiak Jedlicka is his great-grandniece. She picks up where he left off by directing the river's protector organization, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper. Professor Schneekloth and seven friends founded the organization as an all-volunteer nonprofit in 1989, after organizing the first river cleanup that year. Today the group employs 27 full-time workers and has helped oversee the Buffalo River's $100 million restoration.So far, the Buffalo River's water quality has restored, but it is still an ongoing issue, as sewage(污水)can overflow into the river after storms. Habitat restoration continues as well; fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well it's gone.（1）What did the Buffalo River use to be?A. A waterway on the yearbook.B. A river heavily polluted.C. A great attraction of Buffalo's.D. A place worth fighting for.（2）Why was Mr.Spisiak named "Mr. Buffalo River"?A. Because his fate shifted in the 1 960s.B. Because he spotted dumpers on the River.C. Because he spared no efforts to protect the river.D. Because the river was declared biologically dead.（3）How long did it take for the river to restore?A. More than half a century.B. Just four decades.C. About 30 years.D. Only 27 years.（4）What can be a suitable title for this text?A. The restoration of the Buffalo RiverB. Stanley Spisiak: The "Mr.Buffalo River"C. The future of the Buffalo RiverD. River protection: A long way to go【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了被污染的the Buffalo River的恢复。

阅读理解议论文考点1 人与自我型议论文【2021新课标I卷】Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and othersinterested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.32. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligenceA. It can be measured by an IQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person's mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.33. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.34. What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligenceA. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligenceA. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.【答案】322-35 DBAB【导读】本文是一篇议论文。

2020-2021高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解"When someone is rude to you, it can put you in a bad mood. It may even lead you to be rude to someone else, creating a chain of rudeness. In fact, this troubling chain may even be caused by simply seeing someone be rude to another person. You don't even have to be the target of the had behavior," stated a researcher.The researchers worked with 81 persons, with occupations ranging from security to business to medicine, who were asked to complete online surveys over a 10-day period. Participants recorded their moods when they woke up; and in the evening, they described their experiences over the course of that day.Each morning the participants also viewed a short video, describing workplace interaction of some kind. Half of the mornings, the video included some kind of rudeness while the other half had some kind of warm interaction in the workplace. Rudeness was conveyed through various means, including a lack of eye contact or unpleasant language.Participants who watched the rudeness videos reported seeing or experiencing rudeness during the day, and they were also more likely to escape from fellow employees to avoid being the victims of rudeness themselves. They reported their overall work suffered that day as a result. Not all participants were affected by the rudeness videos, however. A few weeks before the study began, the participants completed an evaluation that measured their self-confidence and emotional stability among other things. The participants who scored higher on this evaluation were significantly less likely to be influenced by the rudeness.Consequently, one of the researchers recommended that companies hire managers who can limit exposure to rudeness, provide plenty of positive reinforcement (强化) and build a civil workplace environment. This, in turn, could help employees build their confidence levels and help them better handle workplace rudeness.（1）What is Paragraph 1 intended to show?A. The popularity of rudeness.B. A regular cause of rudeness.C. A new finding about rudeness.D. The common disadvantage of rudeness.（2）Why are the short videos played for the participants?A. To make them spread rudeness.B. To educate them on workplace interaction.C. To expose them to various aspects of rudeness.D. To teach them how to use right body languages.（3）What is the probable effect of watching the videos on some participants?A. Being unwilling to work.B. Poor ability to do their work.C. Serious emotional sufferings.D. Less interaction with others.（4）Who may not be affected by the rudeness videos?A.People positive and kind to themselves.B.People keeping calm in stressful situations.C.People owning confidence in others' ability.D.People participating in the rudeness experiment.【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，研究表明，关于“无礼”行为作为一种“传染性”行为是可以避免的。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解A typical child plays many roles, such as friend, neighbor, son or daughter. Simply reminding children of that fact can lead to better problem-solving and more flexible thinking, according to new research from Duke University.Better problem-solving was just one positive finding of the study, said lead author Sarah Gaither, an assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke. After thinking about their own various identities, children also showed more flexible thinking about race and other social groupings—a behavior that could be valuable in an increasingly diverse society.In a series of experiments, Gaither and her colleagues looked at 196 children, ages 6 and 7. In an experiment, one group of children was reminded that they had various identities, such as son, daughter, reader or helper. A second group of children was reminded of their multiple physical attributes, such as a mouth, arms and legs. All the children then needed to handle a few tasksChildren who were reminded of their various identities showed stronger problem-solving and creative thinking skills. When shown pictures of a bear staring at honey-filled beehive(蜂窝)high up in a tree, these children had more creative ideas for how the bear might get the honey, such as turning over a bowl so that it became a stool(凳子). In other words, they saw a new use for the bowl. Children who were reminded of their multiple roles also showed more flexible thinking about social groupings. When asked to categorize different photos of faces, they suggested many ways to Spso. They identified smiling faces such as unsmiling ones, and old and young faces. The other children, meanwhile, primarily grouped people's faces by race and gender(性别).The-study suggests ways to promote flexible thinking for the young, which could be especially valuable for teachers." Gaither said."We have this tendency in our society to only think about ourselves in connection with one important group at a time," Gaither said. "When kids think that they have various identities, they show greater abilities."（1）What are all the kids asked to do in the experiments?A.Play different kinds of roles.B.Remind others of their roles.C.Approach several tasks.D.Classify a group of tasks.（2）How does the author mainly clarify the conclusions of the study in paragraph 4?A.By giving examples.B.By using experts' words.C.By listing a few figures.D.By showing cause and effect.（3）What can we learn from Sarah Gaither's words?A.Improving 5 kids flexible thinking ability is important teaching.B.Kids tend to behave selflessly after thinking about their roles.C.Kids' creative thinking ability is easy to discover and develop.D.Teachers are supposed to make the most of the kids' flexibility.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.Kids' Social Abilities Are Consistent with. Their Education.B.Considering Their Various Roles Improves Kids' Abilities.C.Kids Have a Variety of Identities in Their Daily Life.D.Problem-solving Ability Is Necessary for Most Kids.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了让孩子知道自己有不同的角色可以提高孩子解决问题的能力和创造性思维能力。

2020-2021最新高考英语阅读理解精选及答案

2020-2021最新高考英语阅读理解精选及答案一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解As the President of Ariel Investments, I am often asked how to cultivate （培养） green hands to be qualified for a new job within a short time. My memories take me straight back to the days when I worked for John W. Rogers.While in college, I worked as an intern （实习生） at Ariel Investments. As the youngest girl of six kids from a single mom, I had very little knowledge of the business world. When I graduated, I decided to return to the company to improve myself.At the age of 22, my perspective was greatly influenced by lunching with the company's founder and then-president, John W. Rogers. He told me that I would often find myself in the company of rich and successful people with big titles, lots of degrees and lots of experience. And yet, my ideas could still be as good or even better, he said. This early advice became the guiding force that has helped me throughout my entire career. When I was starting out, I thought my inexperience was holding me back, but John said that it was a good thing. He told me that being inexperienced means that you have a fresh point of view.As my tutor, John encouraged me to be brave. As my boss, he took some giant leaps of faith to support me. Because of our first lunch and the years of support that followed, I never thought twice about speaking up, raising my hand or taking a seat at the table. Staying in the background was never a choice. But John's advice came with one important warning. I needed to keep my attitude in check. It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be rude. Similarly, there is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. With that in mind, I have had to learn to balance the way I act around others. As someone once told me, "the goal is to be non-threatened and non-threatening at the same time."（1）What can we learn about the author from the text?A. She went to Ariel Investments after graduation for practice.B. She made her voice heard with encouragement from her boss.C. Her miserable childhood had a negative effect on her work.D. Her performance during internship was highly praised in public.（2）Due to John W. Rogers' advice, the author ____ .A. learned to strike a balance between work and lifeB. contributed her ideas only after listening to others'C. no longer felt lost and became aware of her own valueD. switched to a different company to display her talent（3）What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Keep Your Attitude under Control.B. Encourage Your Employees to Grow.C. Let Your Success Be Your Noise.D. Live a Life with a High Goal.（4）Who would probably benefit most from this article?A. Company bosses.B. Those new to a job.C. Business consultants.D. Experienced teammates.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作为实习生，作者在实习期间受到公司的创始人、董事长John W. Rogers 深深地影响，John W. Rogers 鼓励作者要敢于思考、发表自己的想法，也鼓励作者要勇敢，因为John W. Rogers作者也学习到"要有锋芒却不伤人”。
