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。

高一英语阅读理解专题训练（带答案）（英语）一、完型填空1．This year my husband and I decided to have a quiet, low-key New Year's Eve. 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. Whether we host a bigger party or keep it small, there will always be 15 doughnuts, because when you have hot homemade doughnuts, you can't help but have the best time.1．A．challenge B．idea C．opportunity D．occasion 2．A．training B．hiring C．knowing D．interviewing 3．A．time B．money C．food D．fun4．A．short B．memorable C．messy D．silent 5．A．tested out B．moved on C．tuned out D．picked out 6．A．put B．bought C．brought D．made 7．A．impressive B．expensive C．healthy D．nutritious 8．A．took up B．carried on C．called for D．cut off 9．A．fortunately B．possibly C．totally D．absolutely 10．A．rolled out B．taken apart C．sorted out D．cut down 11．A．steam B．cook C．sink D．float 12．A．finished B．practiced C．considered D．demanded 13．A．prepared B．waited C．enjoyed D．longed 14．A．celebration B．idea C．ceremony D．tradition 15．A．fresh B．raw C．common D．local【答案】1．D2．B3．C4．B5．C6．D7．A8．C9．B10．A11．B12．A13．C14．D15．A2．Dear girls,The dream itself comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing.

But as I built strength, my friends 1 me to step up my training and try some longer trips. The first one to come along was a 150-mile trip, the MS-150, an annual 2 that raises money to fight AIDS.When I registered, the idea seemed fantastic and I trained with 3 . However, as the time for the ride approached, my self-doubts 4 beyond my endurance (忍耐). I 5 wanted to raise money for the charity, but I didn't really want to bike all those miles for two days straight.The ride began on a beautiful Sunday morning in the Georgia countryside, and for the first few hours I felt 6 .This was just the experience I had 7 ，and my spirits were high. 8 by the end of the day, I felt tired out.If the body is 9 to the mind, here was evidence.

"But actually, it's not an easy one because it requires heavy work, such as moving wood and large, heavy flowerpots – things that are 2 when creating works – which requires 3 ."Lu was 4 by a vocational school (职业学校) in 2017, a year after he graduated from junior high school at age 16. "The first thing I learned was design. Then my teacher told me that maybe I should study floristry because he felt I was 5 in that area," he said with a laugh. Lu said he was not 6 about the suggestion then. "Actually, I knew 7 about floristry.

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 171Passage 1An unusual trip to Hawaii brought two strangers closer and closer and their story deserves a wide spread.As her plane sliced through the sky above the ocean, there came a sudden thunderstorm. Five minutes later, Uemoto and her copilot McMahon heard a strange sound. Then, without warning, they lost power to both of the engines. It took them a moment to process the fact that they might crash. The pilots powered through the items on the emergency checklist. Nothing worked. As the plane was falling, they jumped into the ocean.By ten that night, their bodies began trembling uncontrollably in the cool night air. Something must be done to pull them through. Swimming on her stomach, Uemoto had McMahon wrap his arms around her knees so he could rest his head on the back of her legs. To be with someone else and to feel another person's comforting presence in the darkness somehow made the suffering bearable.When the sun rose the next morning, they caught sight of the island of Hawaii, the destination they had dared dream! Suddenly, Uemoto saw a shark, which made her breath catch in her throat. "What do we do? What do we do?" Uemoto asked, panicked. "Just keep looking forward! If it comes close, I'll kick it in the eye!" said McMahon evenly. Unexpectedly, the shark circled them for about 30 minutes. Then, as quietly as it had appeared, it swam off. Uemoto and McMahon breathed a sigh of relief.After struggling in the water for over 20 hours, there came a US Navy helicopter.It flew overhead and next banked towards them. Uemoto and McMahon burst into tears. Alone, either of them would have died. But together, they made it.1. What caused the plane to crash?A. A sudden thunderstorm hit the plane.B. The engines of the plane broke down.C. The pilots operated the plane improperly.D. The emergency list failed to help the pilots.2. What do we know about McMahon in paragraph 4?A. He calmed his partner down.B. He kicked the shark in the eye.C. He was scared to death at the shark.D. He managed to drive the shark away.3. Which of the following best describes Uemoto and McMahon?A. Ambitious and humorous.B. Clear-headed and generous.C. Demanding and appealing.D. Strong-willed and considerate.4. What may be the best title of the passage?A. A Race against DeathB. A Test of FriendshipC. A Wonder Made by Joined HandsD. A Struggle Fought in the DarknessPassage 2It's natural for parents to praise their children, but offering this praise could actually backfire, according to new science.In the study, researchers at Michigan State University looked at 123 children who were about 1. The team assessed the children to determine whether they had a “growth mindset" (believing that you can work harder to get smarter), or a “fixed mindset" (believing that your intelligence is unable to change). They then asked the children to complete a fast-paced computer accuracy task while their brain activity was recorded.Based on the data they collected, the researchers concluded that children with a growth mindset were much more likely to have a larger brain response after making a mistake, and in turn were more likely to improve their performance by paying closer attention to the task after making an error.While previous research has shown that people with a fixed mindset didn't want to admit they had made a mistake, this study found that children with a fixed mindset were able to — “bounce back” after making an error, but only if they gave their full attention to the mistakes. “The main implication here is that we should pay close attention to our mistakes and use them as opportunities to learn study author Hans Schroder told Science Daily.For parents, the lessons are clear—if a child hands you an A+ test, don't say “You're so smart! ”Instead, say “Wow, that studying really paid off!" or “You clearly mastered this material — way to go!" Note the effort, not the intelligence.Second, focus on using errors to work together and learn. Many teachers and parents avoid addressing children's mistakes, telling them “It's OK. You'll get it next time.. .” Without giving them the opportunity to figure out what went wrong. Dr. Schroder says, "Instead, it's better toreassure children that mistakes happen, and to pay attention and work to figure out where and how they made the mistakes.”1. The underlined word “backfire" in Paragraph 1 probably means “ ”.A. make a loud noiseB. leave a good impressionC. have an opposite resultD. produce an explosion2. According to the text, which one belongs to the group who has a “growth mindset" ?A. Tom manages to correct every mistake by heart.B. Mary believes her mistakes are made by chance.C. John keeps an idea that he has a good gift for studying.D. Lily thinks she can get A+ without any effort.3. If your child gets the best mark in the test, you should.A. praise him with some delicious food and moneyB. comment him to be cleverer than other studentsC. confirm his effort that he has made for the testD. believe that he is an honest and smart child4. What should parents do with the child's mistakes from Dr. Schroder?A. Parents should avoid talking with child about his mistakes.B. Parents should compare his mistakes with others' and criticize him.C. Parents should ignore the mistakes and believe he will do better.D. Parents should analyse the mistakes with their child patiently.Passage 3Jackie Chan is arguably the biggest non-Hollywood movie star in the world. Chan has been very helpful in creating the film type of kung-fu comedy, which transformed the Hong Kong film industry. Inspired by legendary film clowns such as Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd, Chan has invented his own unique film style, combining humor and stunt(特技).Jackie Chan was born on April 7, 1954 in Hong Kong. He was the only child of Charles and Lee-Lee Chan. Though the family lived in a flat in the Victoria Peak district, they didn’t own it—Charles worked as a cook for the French ambassador, while Lee-Lee was the housekeeper.Chan attended Nah-Hwa Primary School on Hong Kong Island, often spending his money on food, fighting on the way to school with other children. He was not academically bright, failing to pass Primary 1 as his peers moved on to Primary 3. Charles decided to send the seven-year-old boy to the Peking Opera School. Walking in with his father, Chan saw children somersaulting and playing with swords and sticks. He recalls that he felt like entering Disneyland. He would never return to an academic education. Though he speaks seven languages, he still cannot read or write with great—proficiency and has someone else write his scripts for him.As an amazing artist, Chan experienced strict training at the Peking Opera School,where he studied acting, singing, dance and martial arts for 19 hours a day for a period of 10 years. Being something of a miracle, he was introduced to public performance early. At eight he was cast in Big and Little Wong Tin Bar, with the great Taiwanese star, Li Lihua, as his mother.

They're tweens, children between the ages of 10 and 12. These young people are no longer little kids but they are not yet teenagers, because tweens are in a state of transition (转变).The tween years are hard for children. From a social point of view, tweens are dealing with quite a lot. They have to face changing relationships, middle school and a whole lot of pressure (压力) to succeed and fit in. They may become angry over seemingly small things. A bad test grade, an argument with a friend, a bad day on the ball field, or a request to clean a bedroom might set them off.Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer, a parenting expert in London and author of Talking to Tweens, says, "The tween years are when young people begin to realize the wider world and to see themselves as separate from their families. "Right now, tweens' friends are everything to them. It's universal for the age, but they show it in different ways. For boys, the whole friendship thing is through technology and sports. Girls like to talk.Tweens are also a hot market. What do tweens consider cool? Music is at the top of the cool list, followed by going to the movies. "Being smart" comes third, tied with video games, followed by electronics, sports, fashion and protecting the environment, according to a report.Undoubtedly, tweens have great spending power in the United States. It was the tween market that made Justin Bieber and Harry Potter household names. Retailers (零售商) know tweens are a hot market for clothes, music and entertainment. Tweens have their own sense of fashion and enjoy their own parts of popular culture.1. Which of the following words best describes the tween years? ________A. Entertaining.B. Unchanging.C. Admirable.D. Difficult.2. What can we know from the text? ________A. Tweens remain dependent on their parents.B. Friendship is very important in tweens' eyes.C. Retailers pay little attention to the tween market.D. Playing video games is second to none on tweens' cool list.3. Where can we most probably read this text? ________A. In a marketing report.B. In an education magazine.C. On a fashion website.D. On a parenting poster.Passage 5It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised hismournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake.He had already passed sixty and brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant and his heart sorrowful.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads—one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs；the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and devils and poisonous snake hissed（发嘶嘶声）and crawled（爬行）.He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life；he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret like a sharp arrow struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood. But they had made their way to success and were now honoured and happy on this night.The high church clock struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry：“Come back, my early days!”His youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year’s Night. He was still young though his faults were real；he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful andsunny land.Those who still wander on the entrance of life, hesitating（犹豫）to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble（绊脚）on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain（徒劳）：“Oh youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”1. Why does the author set his story on New Year’s Night?A. He wants to tell people it’s time to recall the past.B. He suggests the aged man will have a bright future.C. He tries to stress（强调）the man’s sad feeling.D. He expects people to share the man’s sad feeling.2. The aged man in the passage on New Year’s Night can be described as ________ .A. sorrowful, peaceful and regretfulB. hopeful, sorrowful and peacefulC. regretful, painful and disappointedD. disappointed, regretful and hopeful3. The author writes the passage mainly to ________ .A. encourage young people to take the right roadB. help the old man to pick up his confidenceC. describe the old man’s unsuccessful experienceD. show his sympathy for the old man4. From the passage we can learn that ________ .A. the man returned from a long journey and regretted what he had doneB. the man didn’t enter the deep and dark cave when he was youngC. the man was deserted by his parents when he was only a childD. the man found it no use crying over the wrong past参考答案Passage 11.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇Along the hallway (走廊), I saw mixed expressions on the faces of my students: excited, nervous, and worried.No doubt about it: they were this term’s freshmen. My own first day at high school flashed into my mind.Since our family had ju st moved to the place, I didn’t know anyone at the school. On arriving, I picked up a map and my schedule (日程表). Oh, my goodness, what a large school it was! Nervously, I looked about for where my first class was to be held.When I finally found my class, everyone was talking and laughing together, and I felt so lonely. Throughout the day, each period brought some new faces I had not seen before. But when my English class came around, I had a surprise: an old classmate! It was Ben, who had left my middle school right after sixth grade. We talked and joked about middle school and the clubs we were in together. My nerves eased (放松) a little.Next was the P E. class. This was the first class that I found without difficulty. Sitting through the boring introduction to the class by the teacher, I started talking to a girl sitting near me.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen (新生) , you still feel nervous that you don't know any upperclassmen or teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognise a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships.The work in high school is something that freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.1．What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in Paragraph 2?A．Training. B．Game.C．Discussion. D．Examination.2．What are freshmen probably worried about?A．The learning task.B．The ability to make friends.C．The relationship with teachers.D．The freshman orientation.3．Extracurricular activities mainly help students ________.A．build up healthy bodiesB．develop friendshipsC．develop the interestsD．improve their learning ability4．Who is this passage written for?A．Freshmen at high school.B．Freshmen's parents.C．Middle school students.D．Upperclassmen in high school.【答案】1．A2．A3．C4．A【分析】这是一篇说明文。

（英语）高一英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists:Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the world's problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term machines might decide the world would be better without humans.Scientist C: I'm a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls and think of what's happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be extremely dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.（1）What is Scientist B worried about?A. AI technology will destroy the earth.B. Computers can't think by themselves.C. Robots will take the place of humans.D. Humans will be unhappy without machines.（2）What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?A. I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.B. We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.C. “Murderbots” can't decide by themselves.D. “Murderbots” will be against humans' orders.（3）Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?A. Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.B. The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.C. “Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.D. All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.（4）Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?A. Scientist AB. Scientist BC. Scientists B & CD.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇A little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox(沙池).He had with him a box of cars and trucks，and a red plastic shovel. In the process of creating roads and tunnels in the sand，he discovered a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.The boy dug around the rock，trying to get it out of the sand. With many struggles，he pushed the rock across the sandbox by using his feet. He was a very small boy and the rock was very huge. When the boy got the rock to the edge of the sandbox，however，he found that he couldn’t roll it up and over the little wall.Determined，the little boy shoved and pushed，but every time the rock tipped(倾斜) and then fell back into the sandbox. Finally，he burst into tears of frustration. All this time the boy’s father watched from his living room window. At the moment his tears fell，a large shadow fell across the boy and the sandbox. It was the boy’s father.Gently but firmly he said，“Son，why didn’t you use all the strength that you had available？” Defeated，the boy answered，“But I did，Daddy. I used all the strength that I had！”“No，son，” said the father kindly.“You didn’t use all the strength you had. You didn’t ask me.” With that the father reached down，picked up the rock，and removed it from the sandbox.D o you have “rocks” in your life that need to be removed？Are you discovering that you don’t have what it takes to lift them？There is one who is always available and willing to give us the strength we need. Isn’t it funny that we try so hard to do things all by ourselves?1．What did the boy want to do with the rock?A．To break it into smaller pieces.B．To remove it from the sandbox.C．To bury it deep under the ground.D．To carry it to a faraway place by hand.2．In the father’s opinion，his son _______.A．must be punished for not working hardB．was strong enough to lift the rock by himselfC．should have asked him to help with the rockD．was responsible for solving the problem3．What may be the best title for the text?A．Secrets in the SandB．Rock in the SandboxC．Where Strength Is NeededD．When Help Is Not at Hand【答案】1．B2．C3．B【分析】这是一篇记叙文。

高中英语阅读理解专项练习含答案（十七）AListening to music is considered a good thing for adults.Indeed it is.Scientific studies have proven it.Music has so many good effects on our body，mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music.Then，is music good for children? Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music.But some parents don't know the importance of music to children.Here are some reasons why music is important to children.First，music is good for children's intelligence.Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music.This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress.Today's children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork.Being under too much stress impairs children's health.Luckily，listening to music can help them feel better.Music can improve children's moods.Some children are sad by nature.They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don't take interest in their surroundings.In such cases，a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue.It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn.Our world has become a global village.People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries.Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children.So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。

【英语】高一英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解LIANG TAO sold 80 pink Givenchy bags in 12 minutes. Becky Fang sold 100 Mini Cooper cars in just five. Both are wanghong, literally “red-hot on the web”. Every day millions of Chinese search social media for wanghong posts or tune in to live-streams for wanghong's opinions on everything. The fans are helping this new Chinese Internet star to make money out of their popularity—and to shake up the country's e-commerce industry in the process.A few of wanghong have been hired by luxury brands. Jaeger-LeCoultre, a Swiss watchmaker, hired Papi Jiang for a video ad targeting young urbanites (都市人), including her 27m fans on Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like microblog. Zhang Yi of iiMedia Research, a consulting firm, estimates that up to 15% of sales on shopping sites like Taobao or social-media apps such as WeChat are influenced by wanghong's public support. The length of a dress might be decided by a survey of a wanghong's fans; its launch date might be based on the number of hits, shares or comments it collects, some of which can cause last-minute design changes.This poses a new challenge for retailers(零售商), whose supply chains must respond ever more quickly to wanghong's opinions. Whereas previously a company would look for a celebrity to match its image, wanghong and their admirers are shaping goods.Another challenge comes directly from wanghong themselves. They increasingly make money not merely from online support or advice but by launching their own e-commerce stores. Sales of goods accounted for just under half of wanghong earnings of 53bn yuan ($8bn) in 2016, estimates Analysys, a Chinese market-research firm (the rest came mostly from live-show tips and adverts).…Some wanghong are going a step further. In November Becky Fang launched her own clothing line. Part of her motivation, she says, was that the brands she supported did not always match the trends she was sharing with her followers. By creating her own brand, Becky's Fantasy, she have full control of the quality. She also gains a new income. For the time being only 3-5% of wanghong follow Becky Fang's example, iiMedia Research estimates. But it expects the model to become an industry in its own right, including entertainment and e-commerce, and driven by online data.（1）Why can wanghong use their popularity to make moneyA. Because they are Internet stars.B. Because they use social media.C. Because their opinions influence fans.D. Because they can shake the e-commerce industry.（2）What is the characteristic of the products supported by wanghongA. It is fans-based.B. It is social-media-based.C. It is design-shared.D. It is youth-targeted.（3）What are the challenges for retailers~A. Online support and advice.B. Increasing sales of goods online.C. Quick responses to the market changes.D. Wanghong's opinions and e-commerce stores.（4）Why do some wanghong create their own brandsA. Because they want to attract more fans.B. Because they want to share with their followers.C. Because they want to set up a new industry model.D. Because the brands they speak for can't satisfy their fans.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）D?（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了网红正在利用自身的人气帮助一些品牌销售，在这个过程中撼动中国的电子商务行业。

Working well with othersBThe next time you eat a piece of chocolate, be sure to enjoy it, because according to two of the world's largest chocolate makers——Mars Inc, and Barry Callebaut, the treat may soon be in short supply. The problem? We are consuming the candy at a faster pace than farmers can grow cocoa. The manufactures say that in 2013, people consumed 70, 000 tons more cocoa than was produced. Experts say that this is the worst supply-demand imbalance they have experienced in more than 50 years.Part of the reason for the condition is the large reduction in supply, caused by a continuous drought in the west African countries of Ivory Coast and Ghana, where more than 70 percent of the world’s cocoa is produced. Additionally, a certain disease known as frosty pod has destroyed 30 to 40 percent of global cocoa production. As a result, many farmers have turned to more profitable and easier grown crops like corn. This means that even if conditions improve, cocoa production may never get back to normal.Meanwhile, the world is only getting hungrier for chocolate. The biggest increase in demand isfrom the residents of emerging market countries like India. Though their consumption is nowhere close to the amount Europeans devour, their newly acquired amount for the treat, is making a huge dent(凹痕) in an already tight market.There is also the growing desire for dark chocolate, which contains more than 70 percent cocoa compared to normal chocolates. Experts believe that if consumption continues at this pace, cocoa deficits(差额) could swell to one million tons by 2020 and to an even more worrisome situation, two million tons, by 2030.Not surprisingly, cocoa prices have risen by 60% since 2012, a cost that manufacturers have offset by raising the prices of everyone's favorite candy. As the situation worsens, the price of chocolate can only rise——so be sure to enjoy every piece of the sweet treat, like it is your last!4 The underlined phrase “supply-demand imbalance” probably means .A . people consume more chocolate than productionB. farmers grow more cocoa than peoples demandC. more and more people like eating chocolates nowD. chocolates are becoming more and more expensive5. It is hard to raise cocoa production probably because .A. the weather is changeable in the west AfricaB．a certain disease spreads around the worldC. many farmers don’t grow cocoa any longerD. it is impossible for conditions to be improved6. Where has the demand of chocolate been increasing greatly according to the text?A. In AsiaB. In AfricaC. In EuropeD. In America7. According to the author s prediction, we can know that .A. chocolate will become cheaper sooner or laterB. the farmers will produce more cocoa in 2030C the price of chocolate will be going up all the wayD. dark chocolate will be more popular than common oneCWhat started Amy Tan’s career was not a big break, but a kick in the butt.Before the million-copy sales of The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God’s Wife and The HundredSecret Senses, Amy Tan was a writer-a business writer. She and a partner ran a technical-writing business with lawyer-like “billable hours”.Her role with clients was largely that of an account manager-but this daughter of Chinese immigrants wanted to do something more creative with words, English words.S o one day she said to her partner in a loud voice, “I want to do more writing.” He declared her strength was doing calculations, going after clients and collecting bills. “It was a horrible job. ” It was the very job Tan hated and knew she wasn’t really go od at. But her partner insisted that writing was her weakest skill.“I thought, I can believe him and just keep doing this or make my demands. ” So she argued and stood up for her rights. He would not give in.Shocked. Tan said, “ I quit ” And he said, You cant quit now .You're fired! You' ll never make a penny by writing.”Tan set out to prove him wrong, taking on as many tasks as she could. Sometimes she worked 90 hours a week as a self-employed technical writer. Being on her own was really hard. But not letting others limit her and her talents made it worthwhile. And on her own, she felt free to try novels. And so The Joy Luck Club, featuring the bright, lonely daughter of Chinese immigrants, was born. And the manager who couldn't write became one of Am erica’s bestselling, best-loved authors.8. Now Amy Tan is most famous as .A. a businesswoman B a lawyer C. a writer D. a publisher9. How did Tan feel about her work with her partner?A. Interested.B. Proud.C. TiredD. Satisfied10. Which word can best describe Amy Tan?A. Fortunate. B, Determined C Responsible D. Generous.11. What information can we get from the text?A. Tan had always got on badly with her partner.B. The Joy Luck Club is a book based on true storiesC. Tans partner thought little of Tans writing talentsD. Tan earned much from her technical writing businessDIn spite of so many years of schooling behind us can we confidently say we understand what itfeels like to be a teacher?The biggest misunderstanding about the teaching profession is that anyone can be a teacher. However, the truth is far from it. To begin with, teachers are people who perform well in their fields of study. They’re also masters of the pedagogical(教学法的) theory. They should know how things should be taught and how one can be inspired to learn. Also, they need to have an idea about classroom management and students' psychology.Now it can be really annoying to a teacher if someone says teaching is one of the easiest jobs around, because everyone just needs to be taught for a few hours a day. Common people even believe teachers are probably overpaid when their days end at 3 p. m. However, teachers work longer to come up with ways to make the subject appear more interesting to students and help them learn better.The fact that teachers get a lot more holidays than others, including the long summer vacations, is a big reason why more people decide to choose teaching as a career. However, good teachers choose to make good use of the break by enrolling themselves for workshops on teaching, classroom management and related things.A teacher has many things to do than just teach. A teacher has meetings to attend, and is responsible for organizing school events. An important duty of a teacher is to prepare the progress report of each student and discuss it with his or her parents.In a word, teachers ought to be respected for what they do, and we should never forget their great contributions to our success in life.12. Which of the following opinions does the author probably hold?A. Most teachers do not have heavy work to doB. Some people can not be good teachers even if they want toC. Every teacher tries to do his/her work as well as possibleD. Teaching is the most challenging profession in the world13. It can be learned from the text that .A. many people want to be a teacher just to earn more moneyB. most teachers use similar teaching methods to teach their studentsC. some teachers make use of their spare time to earn extra incomeD. many teachers spend holidays in taking continuing education14. According to the text, teachers .A. devote themselves to teaching though they're paid lowB. determine whether a child will succeed or not in the future C．spend most of their time in organizing school events D．make great contributions to the success of children15. Which question can be answered based on the text?A. What does it take to be a teacher?B. How do teachers improve their communicating methods?C. Why do teachers have more holidays than others?D. How do people show respect for their teachers?阅读理解十七1-5DDBAC 6-10ACCC B 11-15.CBDDA。
