（英语）英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors ( 交叠式旋翼 )to power the vehicle.The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack “is built around safety from the start. In his words, reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.”The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot,” he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.（1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike .A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyB. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters highC. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsD. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed（2）The writer uses the example of For One racing car to show that .A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliableB. the engine of the Jetpack is powerfulC. the actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueD. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height（3）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer s to.A. the jet streamB. the engineC. the JetpackD. the parachute （4）What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.D. To advertise the two personalflying vehicles.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】本文为说明文，主要讲述一种个人飞行工具很快就会应用于现实。

CWhat is your favorite color? Ask famous persons like Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johnson, and Bono （singer for the band U2）, and maybe they will say “green.” That’s not because these artists like the color green best. Instead, they are interested in green fashion.Green fashion is about making （and wearing） clothes that are good for humans, animals, and the Earth. In the past, green fashion made people think of ugly clothes. But today, green fashion is different. It is about looking good and caring about the Earth and other people. You can have interesting clothes and be green.Around the world, green fashion is becoming popular. For example, the U.K. company People Tree sells men’s and women’s clothing and accessories（配搭物）. They are made from natural fabrics（织物）like cotton and wool. Workers who make the clothes are from countries like Kenya（肯尼亚）, and Bangladesh（孟加拉国）. People Tree pays the men and women good money for the clothes they make.Singer Bono and his wife also started a clothing company called EDUN. When the clothes are sold, EDUN uses most of the money to help people around the world.（1）From this passage, we know that “green fashion” means________.A. putting green color on your faceB. making clothes from green treesC. wearing the color green all the timeD. wearing clothes that are good for the Earth （2）Today, green fashion is ___________.A. the same as it was in the pastB. making people work harderC. more popular and interestingD. mostly popular with famous persons（3）Which sentence about green clothing companies is true?A.

(英语)英语阅读理解练习题20篇含解析

（英语）英语阅读理解练习题20篇含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O's. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.I've been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals. They're other primates(灵长目动物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(灵长目动物) class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure in laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, 1 started to wonder: Will the new science of "food animals" bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?Animal activists are already there, of course, committed to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?（1）According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of .A. interactionB. analysisC. creationD. abstraction（2）The research into pigs shows that pigs .A. learn letters quicklyB. have a good eyesightC. can build up a good relationshipD. can apply knowledge to new situations（3）Paragraph 4 is mainly about .A. the similarities between mammals and humansB. the necessity of long-term studies on mammalsC. a change in people's attitudes towards animalsD. a discovery of how animals expressthemselves（4）What might be the best title for the passage?A. The Inner Lives of Food AnimalsB. The Lifestyles of Food AnimalsC. Science Reports on Food AnimalsD. A Revolution in Food Animals【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了动物也有情感有思想，有一定的分析推理能力。

With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices (装置),such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the internet.More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional.However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system (系统)allow its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers (黑客),who may secretly use or change the information in the system.Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator. While there are others who worry that those smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure---smart home technology will change the way we live and work. (1) According to the passage, nowadays a smart home can lock the door throughA. electric lightsB. mirror technologiesC. mobile phonesD. shopping programs (2) The third paragraph of the passage is mainly about .A. the steps to use smart systemsB. the prices of smart programsC. the advantages of a smart homeD. the tools for setting up smart devices(3) Which of the following is TRUE about a smart home according to the passage?A.

That is because when you learned a new concept（概念）. You found that there was a lot more to know about it.Usually, people think they need to get more and more information before trying a new idea. There is nothing wrong with learning a lot, but when you let learning get in the way of doing, youwill never get going.One of the best ways to learn is to take action and learn from the results that you get fromthose actions. Don't be afraid of not being perfect and just take the first step. You will go furtherthan those who are still in preparation. It's good to be prepared, but over-preparation in trying to reach a goal won't get you results. The knowledge and skills that you will need will be picked up along the way.If a baby wants to learn how to walk, it doesn't do it by just sitting there and thinking abouthow to walk. The best way for a baby to walk is to actually get up and start walking. Sure it may fall, but with every fall, it learns what is working and what is not and adjusts（调整）to it. By doing this over and over, it will finally learn to walk. This is the method you should use when you want to achieve your goals as well.

【英语】英语阅读理解练习题20篇含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解The next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) may be sitting right beneath you, at least if furniture maker Ikea has any say in the matter. The Swedish furniture company's “future-living” research lab in Copenhagen is conducting a survey to understand what people want when it comes to smart furniture.AI is now walking into more aspects of people's daily lives. Self-driving cars are just around the corner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical outlets（插座）to smart smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it's not surprising that Ikea would be moving in the same direction.Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to then, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Though Ikea's the new survey doesn't directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a more human0like form of virtual（虚拟的）assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic.

英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析一、英语阅读（日常生活类）1．阅读理解When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing.（1）The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means .A. 吹风B. 给……上发条C. 摇上D. 利用空气……使……（2）The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .A. will be damaged much easier than the normal oneB. has a special handle to access the InternetC. is cheap and can run with extra powerD. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions（3）According to the passage，what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phonesA. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries.（4）Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .A. illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesB. tell us what high technology can help peopleC. show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesD. give an example of how to help developing countries（5）Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countriesA. We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves，not just throw money at the problem.B. We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.C. We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.D. We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）D（5）A【解析】【分析】主要讲了Nicholas Negroponte发明了一种便宜的手提电脑和循环使用手机来帮助发展中国家。

英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解To eat only a vegan（素食的） diet might sound difficult, especially with many popular dishes containing meat or other animal products. Yet in 2017, veganism was described as “the fastest - growing lifestyle movement” i n the UK, according to BBC news.A study by a UK market research organization, suggests that over 542,000 Brits went vegan during the previous decade, an increase of 360%. And the main force behind this increase was those aged 15-34 years old — 42% of recent vegans fall under that age range.So why exactly has veganism become so popular among young Brits?One reason could be that many young people want to protect the environment, as less meat consumption is known to be beneficial to the environment. Global meat manufacturing is believed to cause 18% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions（排放）, even more than that of all the world's cars, trains and planes combined. Another reason is that many of today's young people believe that it's wrong to kill animals to be used as food.Jess Murray, 22, a student at University College London, said that he chose to become vegan after realizing that eating animals is a choice that people make, rather than something that we need to do to survive. “Becoming vegan was an ethica l (道德的) decision,” he told the Guardian. Social media is also believed to have given rise to the increase in veganism. Platforms such as Facebook allow young vegans to connect with each other much easier, while others such as Instagram have led to the creation of “vegan celebrities (名人)”, who share lips on vegan lifestyles. Despite the rising of veganism, Laura Wyness, an expert in diet and nutrition, said that meat is very important for people's health. “A strict vegan diet makes it difficult to ge t some minerals and vitamins that your body needs,” Wyness told BBC news.However, the popularity of veganism doesn't seem to be fading. “It feels more like this is something that is sticking.” said an expert of the Vegan Society, a UK charity that pro motes veganism.（1）What can we learn about veganism, “the fastest-growing lifestyle movement” in UK?A. It has created many popular dishes.B. It is backed up mainly by old people.C. It has led to further market research.D. It has grown steeply in the past 10 years.（2）The following may account for the increase in veganism EXCEPT .A. Young people prefer an environment-friendly life.B. Young people want to become ethical celebrities.C. Meal manufacturing contributes a lot to the world's greenhouse gas.D. Social media allow the vegan message to spread quickly around.（3）The underlined word “sticking” in the Iasi paragraph is equal to in meaning.A. importantB. specialC. lastingD. impressive（4）Which of the following will serve as the best title of the passage?A. Young Brits Going VeganB. Veganism Comes FirstC. How to Start a Vegan LifestyleD. Veganism and the Environment【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，研究表明，过去的十年里素食主义在英国增长迅猛。

英语阅读理解练习题20篇含解析

英语阅读理解练习题20篇含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy and quick to learn English. There is even a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But many people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear.Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but too many cannot afford to do so. Some go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good pronunciation and intonation.Most teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making sentences. If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren't, because it would make it easier to use their methods.In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real.There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people to talk to and listen to when we communicate. They can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life language.（1）Many people believe advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses probably because .A. they are encouraged by William Shakespeare or Charles DickensB. they are eager to learn and then believe themC. the ways advertised can help them to save time and effortsD. the ways advertised prove effective and helpful（2）What may behaviorists argue towards English learning?A. Human beings make more interesting noises than parrots and chimpanzees.B. Human beings should relate their speech to their own lives.C. Language is a formula with lots of repetitions and practices.D. Language is a means of communication.（3）What opinion does the author hold?A. A quick method that suits all the students does exist.B. English can be mastered within a very short period of time.C. Each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language.D. No one can learn English well without being interested in it.（4）What ways of learning is suggested by the author?A. Study abroad.B. Learn communicatively and situationally.C. Follow the behaviorists' approach.D. Teach oneself at home with dictionaries.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，讲述了一名语言教师对语言学习的个人看法。

英语阅读理解练习题及答案含解析

英语阅读理解练习题及答案含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解They say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well, there is one lady who believes that it's actually chocolate. At 102 years of age, she's living proof.According to Boonville, Indiana's Eunice Modlin, a daily dose of chocolate has been the key to a long and healthy life. Specifically, two pieces of dark chocolate. It's not just Eunice who believes this.Many scientists have attributed the sweet to health benefits such as lower chances of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.However, researchers believe that Eunice might be overlooking the fact that she has never smoked or drunk alcohol in her long life, and that chocolate might not be the significant cause of her longevity."There are so many other factors to her long life and chocolate isn't the only one," nutritionist Vanessa Rissetto said. "Genes, her diet in general…are probably the main reasons."At any rate, Eunice is still alive and kicking. With four children, seven grandkids, 14 great-grandkids and 11 great-great grandkids, this lady has a big family.It must be noted that Eunice was also very athletic, being an archer in her 20s .Amazingly, she has lived through tough times such as the Great Depression and World War II .Also, the healthy blood runs through the veins of other family members. Eunice's brother is also still alive, at 101 years of age.No matter what you might think, Eunice's consumption of chocolate can't be ignored. In 2015, a BMJ study showed that a daily treat of one small bar would give the consumer 23% less chance of having a stroke (中风).What is in the sweet that makes it so beneficial? Apparently, cocoa beans have flavonoids, plant nutrients that have useful antioxidants (抗氧化剂)."Not all chocolate is created equal," Rissetto warns. "Dark chocolate has more flavonoids than milk chocolate, and white chocolate—which does not actually contain chocolate—is not a good source of flavonoids."（1）According to the article, which of the following lead to Eunice Modlin's long and healthy life?a. two pieces of dark chocolateb. genesc. lifelong exercised. good diete. love of her large familyA. a, b, dB. b, c, dC. a, b, eD. a, c, d（2）Rissetto thinks that .A. chocolate is the most important thing that affects Eunice's healthB. no smoking or drinking contributes the most to Eunice's longevityC. chocolate really has nothing to do with her long and healthy lifeD. Eunice's good dietdoesn't only mean taking chocolate every day（3）What the author presented in the passage sounds .A. persuasiveB. objectiveC. subjectiveD. critical（4）From the whole passage we can conclude that______________.A. there's universal proof for what contributes to a long lifeB. it is generally accepted that chocolate is the key to longevityC. many factors may contribute to people's good healthD. a bit of any chocolate a day keeps the doctor away【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，美国印第安纳女性Eunice Modlin现在已经102岁的了，她认为自己长寿的秘密是每天吃巧克力，并分析了她长寿的原因以及巧克力对健康产生影响的原因。
