2010英语阅读理解：人物传记类第一部分五年高考题荟萃Passage 1(09·浙江E篇)Four people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51,It wasn’t much—a picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed –the shape of DNA The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.Her name was Rosalind Franklin.”She should have been up there,” says historian Ma ry Bowden.” If her photos hadn’t been there, the others couldn’t have come up with the structure.” One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholars doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Click tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at King’s College in Londo n, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子). The rays produced patterns reflection the shape.But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant .But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection sugges ted that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to to go or be put in her place.”As Franklin’s competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am. In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin, Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklin was only two steps away from the solution.”No, Franklin was the solution. “She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA . She must be considered a co-discoverer,” Abir-Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA”, Franklin is finally coming into the light.57. What is the text mainly about?A. The disagreements among DNA researchers.B. The unfair treatment of Franklin.C. The process of discovering DNA.D. The race between two teams of scientists.58. Watson was angry with Franklin because she .A. took the lead in the competitionB. kept her results from himC. proved some of his findings wrongD. shared her data with other scientists59.

Believing my career （职业生涯） was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was to no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it -the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself tha t I wasn't finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”Karen PickeringSwimming World Champion“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success-you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”Kirsten BestPoet & Writer“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence.

He,not the Tsar,is the one to make the terms.He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped,“That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!”he shouts.And then,Tolstoy writes,Napoleon“walked silently several times up and down the room,his fat shoulders moving quickly.”Still later,after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds,Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner.“He raised his hand to the Russian’s...face,” Tolstoy writes,and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently...”.To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court.“Well,well,why don’t you say anything?”said he,as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself,Napoleon.Tolstoy did his research,but the composition is his own.51.Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is .A.far from the historical factsB.based on the Russian historyC.based on his selection of factsD.not related to historical details52.Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because .A.he thought he should be the one to make the peace termsB.the Tsar’s peace terms were hard to acceptC.the Russians stopped his military movementD.he didn’t have any more army to fight with53.What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?A.To walk out of the room in anger.B.To show agreement with him.C.To say something about the Tsar.D.To express his admiration.54.Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is .A.ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guestsB.fond of showing off his iron willC.determined in destroying all of EuropeD.crazy for power and respect55.What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A.A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.B.A writer may write about a hero in his own way.C.A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.D.A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.答案51.B 52.C 53.B 54.A 55.B。

(出名了)For a shy person like Bao Xishun, the world’s tallest man, this can be a problem.“Wherever I appear, I immediately bee the centre of attention. But back in my hometown, I still live a normal life,〞 55-year-old Bao said, wearing his 2005 Guinness World Record badge (徽章) on his chest. Bao was born in 1951. Until the age of 15 he was of normal height, but then he went through a massive (可观的，巨大的) growth spurt,(突然的爆发) reaching 2.1 metres by the time he was 20.His father took him to Shenyang, where an army basketball coach recruited(招募) him.“Yao Ming would be the second Bao Xishun if Bao were a successful player,〞said former coach Leng Wanju.“If it weren’t for the disease(Bao developed rheumatism (关节炎) when he was young), I might have bee a basketball superstar just like Yao,〞 Bao said with a shrug.After three years in the army, he returned to his grassland home. He struggled to settle down and find a wife, and gradually he became more and more withdrawn.(孤僻)His mother’s death when he was 40 came as a big blow.(打击) He shut himself off from the world until 2004, when a restaurant owner invited him to serve as a greeter for 10 days, and his extraordinary presence at the door quickly attracted attention from the press.In late 2004, the local newspaper applied to Guinness for Bao to be listed as the tallest man living in the world. As he was 0.2 cm taller than the record holder Radhouane Charbib of Tunisia, he was awarded the title.On July 21, 2005, Bao got the Guinness certificate in his hometown and was invited to London in September for a Guinness global activity.Despite the trappings of fame, Bao remains shy: “I want to live a normal life like my father, who is 94.〞Bao spends his mornings walking and afternoons playing cards with his neighbours, occasionally reading some Mongolian (蒙古语)books.But there is also some excitement in his life: Bao now has a girlfriend, whom he hopes to marry.- 1 - / 1。

高考英语二轮复习：阅读——人物传记故事类含答案
高中英语阅读——人物传记/故事类1、阅读理解Cheaters called“pirates”often use camcorders(便携式摄像机)and cell phones to make illegal copies of blockbusters in the local theater.These pirates then sell those recordings on the street or over the Internet for very low prices.Some share them for free.“It’s unfair for people to pirate movies,”says15-year-old Hadaia Azad Ezzulddin.Movie piracy“takes money out of the pockets of thousands of people in the movie industry,”she notes.Victims include famous actors and directors as well as local theater owners and their employees.Hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie piracy.Hadaia’s idea uses infrared(红外线的)light.This range of light is invisible to the human eye.It is visible,however, to many types of cameras.Theater owners could place small infrared lights on their movie screens.The lights would not disturb people watching the movie.It would,however,distort the recordings made by many types of cameras.To test her idea,Hadaia built a box with a movie screen inside.Then,she projected images on that screen through a hole in the box.She took recordings of those images,using nine different types of cameras.These included the types found in cell phones as well as camcorders.During some tests,she also turned on light emitting diodes(发光二极管),or LEDs.The LEDs were embedded（植入的）in a certain place behind the movie screen.They gave out infrared light.Sure enough,she showed,a pirated movie included odd stripes or spots if it had been recorded while the LEDs were on.It might be possible to use the LEDs to flash the date and time on the movie screen.The information would then appear in the illegal recordings. Theater owners or police might use the information to track down the pirates.Cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the real movie instead of an illegal copy.Six out of every ten films now produced aren’t profitable.They don’t make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market them.Such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers from producing anything but the types expected to become blockbuster hits.It might also keep smaller theaters from showing a wider variety of movie types.【小题1】From what Hadaia says in Paragraph2,we can infer that_______.A．most people spend less money on pirates movesB．the pirates don’t have to pay for the movie ticketsC．theater owners will increase the price of movie ticketsD．she strongly criticizes those who video movies in the theater【小题2】Infrared lights are put on the movie screens to_______.A．adjust the brightness of the movie screensB．make sure the images of movies are darkC．make illegal copies of movies unpleasant to seeD．protect the eyesight of viewers in the darkness【小题3】What is the correct order of the steps in Hadaia’s test?a.She projected pictures on the screen.b.She used cameras to record the pictures.c.She turned on the LEDs placed behind the screen.d.She made a special box with a movie screen inside.A．d c a b B．d b a cC．b a c d D．b c a d【小题4】According to the last paragraph,we can know that_______.A．forty percent of movies now are profitableB．small theaters often choose to show low-cost moviesC．more and more people go to theaters to fight movie piracyD．filmmakers prefer to produce ordinary movies than blockbusters2、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

高中英语赢在篇章之人物传记(生活和学习)(含答案)
赢在篇章之人物传记（生活与学习）导学一人物传记类记叙文概述1：文体的特征和框架结构高考英语阅读理解人物传记类文章的命题以细节理解题居多，其次是推理判断题，然后是主旨大意题、作者意图题、猜词题等。
这类文章一般难度不大，应该是阅读理解的得分点。
但是由于缺乏恰当的阅读策略和解题技巧，很多考生在做此类阅读理解题时往往有材料看得懂，题目不好做的感觉。
要想掌握人物传记类文章的阅读策略和解题技巧，提高阅读速度，在高考中得到高分，就要了解人物传记类阅读理解的一般特征。
人物传记是记叙文体的一种，主要描写某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长奋斗历程等，包含记叙文的时间、地点、人物、事件等要素。
其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线，空间或逻辑线索贯穿文章始终，脉络清楚，可读性较强。
这类文章常采用倒叙的写作方法，即首先用几句话来简单介绍这个人，接着介绍这个人的出生、成长过程，然后再记述他(她)一两件主要的事情或业绩，来反映他(她)的思想、品德和情操，最后作者会对他(她)进行评论，从而表达作者对他(她)的情感。
这类文章，从词汇方面看，考纲外词汇不多，甚至没有。
从文章内容方面看，内容简单，好理解。
从命题角度看，通常会考察关于该人物的大量细节题，有些细节考察的很直接，只需理解字面意思即可；有些则很间接，需要综合、归纳、推理才能得出。
2：解题方法1.寻读细找法寻读细找法一般适用于细节理解题型。
先看题目要求我们理解什么细节，找出关键词→以此为线索，运用寻读的技巧迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语→认真比较选项和文中细节的区别→在正确理解细节的前提下，确定最佳答案。
2.引申推理法引申推理法往往应用于推理判断题型。
推理判断题的正确选项是从文章当中某句话或某些段落当中引申、推理出来的，即“来自原文，高于原文”。
解答这种类型的题目时，要注意：(1)吃透文章的字面意思，从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索，这是推理的前提和基础。
