一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷

1．阅读理解

A few months ago, a friend of mine told me something about a woman named Virginia Feigles. Virginia Feigles had always planned to go to college. She couldn't make her dream come true when she was young because her parents were poor. She got married early, and soon became a mother. Year after year, time passed quickly. But Feigles never forgot her dream. After working as a hairdresser (理发师) for twenty years, she finally decided to change her life, when she was already forty-four.

Feigles first went to a night school to learn high school lessons. After a few months, she applied (申请) to Bucknell University. It was hard for her to study in the university. She couldn't understand what the teacher taught in class. She also had to work at night. After work, she kept learning until very late. She thought about giving up many times, but she never really did that. After a lot of such hard days, Feigles graduated (毕业) successfully and soon became an engineer!

I heard this story when I was at the bottom of my life. I was no longer young and I lost my job. Feigles' story inspired (激励) me a lot! "If Virginia can do it, I can too!" I decided to make some change to my life, too!

【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要讲述了几个月前，我的一个朋友告诉我关于Virginia Feigles的故事。她直到44岁才开始下决心改变自己的生活，并开始学习高中和大学的课程，通过自己的努力奋斗，最终成为了一名工程师。

（1）细节题，题意：Virginia Feigles开始当美发师的时候多大年龄了？根据第二段，After working as a hairdresser (理发师) for twenty years, she finally decided to change

her life, when she was already forty-four.可知她44岁的时候已经当理发师20年了，所以她最初开始当美发师的时候是24岁，故选B。

（2）推断题，题意：划线部分"did that" 可以被下列哪个选项替代？根据划线词前面的but，可知表示转折，but前后意思相反。联系上文Feigles申请在大学学习，她有很多次都想放弃，但是从来没有真的这样去做，指她没有停止在大学的学习，故选A。

（3）推断题，题意：根据文章内容，下列哪个选项可以被推断出来。根据第二段She couldn't make her dream come true when she was young because her parents were poor.可知A项错误。根据第二段She got married early, and soon became a mother.可知B项错误。根据第三段she applied (申请) to Bucknell University. It was hard for her to study in the university. 可知C项错误。根据末段Feigles' story inspired (激励) me a lot!和I decided to make some change to my life, too!可知Feigles的故事对作者的生活起到了作用，所以D项正确，故选D。

（4）主旨题，题意：从这篇文章中我们可以知道什么。本文主要讲述Virginia Feigles直到44岁才开始决定改变她的生活，不畏困难地开始学习高中和大学的课程，并努力奋斗，最终成为了工程师的故事。所以B项“活到老，学到老”最符合本文的主旨，其他三项并不能从文中得出，均错误，故选B。

【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题、推断题和主旨题三种常考题型，注意细节题要注意从文中寻找答案；推断题需要联系上下文，推断出需要的信息；主旨题需要通读全文，了解大意之后找出中心思想。
