【英语】高考英语阅读理解(人生百味)基础练习题及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1 •阅读理解In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh ( 法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfort une to bring the pharaoh un happy n ews, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some pea nut butter and san dwiches for an out ing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smili ng n eighbor looked up at the sky and said, "Oh, boy, bad day for a pic nic. The weatherma n says it's going to rain." I wan ted to strike him on the face with the pea nut butter and san dwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.Several mon ths ago I was rac ing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my han dful of cash across the Greyho und coun ter, the sales age nt said with a broad smile, "Oh, that bus left five minu tes ago." Dreams of head-cutt ing!It's not the n ews that makes some one an gry. It's the un sympathetic attitude with which it's delivered. Every one must give bad n ews from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he did n't get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, whe n deliveri ng any bad n ews, they should share the feeli ng of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you're tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist ( 拳头)right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyho und salesclerk sympathetically in formed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, "Oh, that's all right. I'll catch the next on e." Big winn ers, whe n they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded ( 被轰炸的)person is sure to have.(1)In the writer's opinion, his neighbor was _____A. frien dlyB. warm-heartedC. not con siderateD. not helpful(2) ________________________________________ From Paragraph 3, we learn that the writer .A. was mad at the sales age ntB. was remin ded of the cruel pharaohC. wished that the sales age nt would have had dreamsD. dreamed of cutt ing the sales age nt's head that ni ght(3)What is the main idea of the text?A.

It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen."RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected," said Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Currently, an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every day activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearly $2 trillion. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to incorporate into their smart home environment. They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that demonstrates how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently."While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been promising," Minor said. "The next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts, video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot."(1)How does RAS serve elderly people?A. Through sensors.B. Through objects.C. Through a mobile robot.D. Through their daily activities.(2)What can we know about RAS?A. It is the first robot used in daily life.B. Its function remains to be tested.C. It can locate people and do any task.D. It can cook for owners on its own.(3)What's Minor's attitude toward the future of RAS?A. Doubtful.B. Negative.C. Optimistic.D. Uncertain.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Elderly people leave the nursing home.B. Smart Home Tests first elder-Care robot.C. RAS, the first robot to make home smart.D.

If an eager graduate student showed up in my office bearing desserts and asked me to pick one, I'd cast a careful glance and ask "Why?" before grabbing the apple pie.So one day, when someone from the Psychology Department posted instructions in the bathroom persuading all of us to "Think about five things for which you're grateful every day for a week!" my response was frankly doubtful. I did the math. Five things a day for seven days is a lot of brainpower to expend without so much as the promise of an apple pie.I wandered into the office of Heidi Zetzer, the director of our school's Psychological Services Clinic. "What's with the gratitude thing?" I asked. You don't ask an academic question-even a simple one unless you're prepared for a long answer. Heidi came alive, and I sat down. That's when I first heard the term "positive psychology". The gratitude thing, as I had called it, was but one small and simple element of the practice. "Kind of like training the brain to focus on joy," my friend Heidi explained. "It's only a week," she urged. "Try it." I did. And guess what? It worked. Every day for a week, I found five distinct things for which I was thankful. They had to be different every day. I couldn't get away with just being grateful for my wonderful husband. But I could, suggested Collie Conoley, another positive psychologist, express my gratitude for specific aspects of a certain person each day. He's a great cook. He always puts our family first.Life will never be perfect. I still see new stories that annoy me. The traffic in my city is maddening. I wish I could speed up my recovery. But with just one simple exercise, I'm rediscovering the peace of that old saying: accepting the things I can't change, working without complaint to change what I can, and being wise enough to know the difference.And all it took was a little gratitude.(1)What's the author's attitude toward the student with desserts?A. Cautious.B. Respectful.C. Indifferent.D. Supportive.(2)Why was the author doubtful about the instructions?A. Because she thought it wasn't worth the effort.B. Because she didn't like expressing thanks often.C. Because she needed to ask her friend to do it first.D. Because she could do five things every day easily.(3)What does Collie Conoley suggest the author should do?A. Be grateful to her wonderful husband.B. Be thankful for things but not people.C. Be a great cook and put her family first.D. Be specific about what she's thankful for.(4)What's the best title for the text?A. Don't Be Bothered by Small ThingsB. We Can Change Everything If We WantC. Practicing Gratitude Changed My LifeD. Being Grateful to One Good Person【答案】(1)A(2)A(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,在一个星期的时间里,作者坚持每天都能发现五件她特别感激的事情,而且每天都有所不同。

Swap, Don't Shop!You keep hearing about recycling, right?But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源)to make, and buying loads of new clothing(or throwing out old clothing)is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all thoseperfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? 1 . It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do!Here are a few pointers.●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. 2 , and there may not be enough things to choose from;more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.● 3 .

高一英语阅读理解(人生百味)技巧和方法完整版及练习题含解析
高一英语阅读理解(人生百味)技巧和方法完整版及练习题含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1.阅读理解Two of the saddest words in the English language are "if only". I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, "Take the extra minute to do it right." I always try to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only" moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don't only avoid those "if only" moments when it comes to safety. It's equally important to avoid "if only" in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say "I love you" or "I forgive you." When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here. But then I thought about the fact that he's 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say "if only" about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.(1)Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute" rule?A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.(2)The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.A.keep her appointment with the eye doctorB.meet her father who was already an old manC.join in the holiday celebration of the companyD.finish her work before the deadline approached(3)The underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.A.abandonedckedC.avoidedD.taken(4)What is the best title for the passage?A.To Keep Emotional Well-beingB.To Prevent "If Only" MomentsC.To Follow the Most Useful RuleD.To Achieve the Peace of Mind【答案】(1)D(2)B(3)A(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者认为英语中最悲伤的两个词语是"if only",因为他们表达了遗憾。

高二英语阅读理解(人生百味)解题技巧和训练方法及练习题(含答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1.阅读理解Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you'll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child's day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的) to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of "time" and "destination"(目的地)are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them. I asked them what they'd seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations(感觉). Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.(1)What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A.To avoid jumping to conclusions.B.To stop complaining all the time.C.To follow the teacher's advice.D.To admit mistakes honestly.(2)The bird watchers' behavior shows that they __________.A.are very patient in their observationB.are really fascinated by natureC.care only about the names of birdsD.question the accuracy of the field guides(3)Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A.The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.B.They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C.The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D.They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.(4)In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________.e our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB.get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC.open our mind to new things and ideasD.try our best to protect nature【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)B(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

高一必备英语阅读理解(人生百味)技巧全解及练习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1.阅读理解A robot created by Washington State University (WSU) scientists could help elderly people with dementia (痴呆) and other limitations live independently in their own homes.The Robot Activity Support System or RAS, uses sensors installed in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities. It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen."RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected," said Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Currently, an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every day activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearly $2 trillion. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to incorporate into their smart home environment. They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that demonstrates how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently."While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been promising," Minor said. "The next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts, video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot."(1)How does RAS serve elderly people?A. Through sensors.B. Through objects.C. Through a mobile robot.D. Through their daily activities.(2)What can we know about RAS?A. It is the first robot used in daily life.B. Its function remains to be tested.C. It can locate people and do any task.D. It can cook for owners on its own.(3)What's Minor's attitude toward the future of RAS?A. Doubtful.B. Negative.C. Optimistic.D. Uncertain.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Elderly people leave the nursing home.B. Smart Home Tests first elder-Care robot.C. RAS, the first robot to make home smart.D. Older adults have benefited from RAS.【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一款由美国华盛顿州立大学的科学家们研发的机器人,可以帮助那些痴呆或有身体缺陷的老年人在家里过上自立的生活。

Eight-year-old Pico stormed home after school, after the door he wildly stomping his feet. His father was working in the yard and saw Pico angry. So he called Pico and wanted to talk with him.
8岁的帕科放学以后气冲冲地回到家里,进门以后使劲地跺脚。
父亲正在院子里干活,看到帕科生气的样子,就把他叫了过来,想和他聊聊。
Reluctant to be around his father, Pico said angrily:"Dad, I am very angry."
帕科不情愿地走到父亲身边,气呼呼地说:“爸爸,我现在非常生气。
”
Pico's father was quietly listening to his son while working. Pico said:"Joaquin made me disgrace the former friends. I hope he comes across a few particularly bad luck things."
帕科的父亲一边干活,一边静静地听儿子诉说。
帕科说: “华金让我在以前的朋友跟前丢脸,我希望他遇上几件特别倒霉的事情。
”
His father went to a comer, found a bag of charcoal and said to Pico:"Son, you
regard that white shirt over there as Joaquin, and the plastic bag of charcoal as some bad luck things. Use charcoal to hit the white shirt. Imagine that every time you hit one on the shirt Joaquin encountered a bad luck thing. When you finish hitting all the charcoal, see what will happen."
他父亲走到一个角落,找到一袋木炭,对帕科说:“儿子,你把那边的那件白衬衫当做华金,把这一塑料袋的木炭当做一些倒霉的事情。
你用木炭去砸白衬衫,假想每砸中一块,华金就遇到一件倒霉的事情。
看看当你把木炭砸完以后会怎样?”
Pico thought this game was fun. He picked up charcoal to throw into the shirt. However the shirt was hung in the distant rope. He finished throwing all the charcoal,but not a few on the shirt.
帕科觉得这个游戏很好玩,他拿起木炭就往衬衫上砸去。
可是衬衫挂在距离较远的绳子上,他把木炭扔完了,也没有几块扔到衬衫上。
Father asked Pico:"How do you feel now?"
父亲问帕科:“你现在感觉如何?”
He said:"It exhausted me, but I am happy because I threw in quite a few pieces of charcoal, the white shirt with several black trace."
他说:“累死我了,但我很开心,因为我扔中了好几块木炭,白衬衫上有好几个黑印子了。
”
Father saw his son did not understand his intentions, so he let Pico look in a large mirror. What he could only see from his face was white teeth.
父亲看到儿子没有明白他的用意,于是便让帕科去一面很大的镜子里照照。
帕科从脸上只能看到牙齿是白的。
Then the father said:"You see, the white shirt did not become particularly dirty, but you have become a 'black people' You want a lot of bad luck things on others; the result is the most unfortunate thing falls on ourselves. There, our bad thoughts may fulfill a part on others, others suffer bad luck, but the stains left to us is difficult to remove."
父亲这时说道:“你看,白衬衫并没有变得特别脏,而你自己却成了一个‘黑人’你想在别人身上发生很多倒霉事情,结果最倒霉的事却落到我们自己身上了。
有时候,我们的坏念头虽然在别人身上兑现了一部分,别人倒霉了,但留在我们身上的污点也难以去除。
