阅读理解训练50篇(1)1Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC.In general the person feels excited and ready to act.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.1.“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________.A.the emotion is harmless B.the emotion is harmfulC.the feeling is very strong D.the feeling is hard 2.What statement is right?A.Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症).B.Once you are angry, you must be cancered.C.Angry as you are often, you can't be cancered,D.Anger may cause you a cancer.3.Expressing anger violently _________ repressing it according to some scientists.A.is just the same as B.is more harmful thanC.is no better than D.is much better than 4.According to the author, you'd better _________.A.never be angryB.cool it down before you express itC.laugh and laugh when you get angryD.admit you are wrong when you are angry二There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities (复杂性) of spelling.If spelling becomes the only focal (焦点的) point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible.” It m ay have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted(省略) to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’ s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’ s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动机) to seek improvement.1.Teachers are different in their opinions about _________.A.he difficulties in teaching spellingB.the role of spelling in general language developmentC.the complexities of the basic writing skillsD.the necessity of teaching spelling2.The underlined expression “play safe” pro bably means ________.A.to write carefullyB.to do as teachers sayC.to use dictionaries frequentlyD.to avoid using words one is not sure of3.Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ____________.A.students will be able to express their ideas more freelyB.students will have more confidence in writingC.students will have less trouble in correcting mistakesD.students will learn to be independent of teachers4.The author seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is __________.A.unfair B.reasonable C.foolish D.careless三Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance isoften culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US looks much alike.New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us.This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the US, for example, the south is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people in Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.1.Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ___________.A.has little to do with culture B.has much to do much cultureC.is ever changing D.is different from place to place2.According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _________.A.before birth B.as soon as one’s teeth are newly set C.some time after new teeth are set D.around 15 years old3.Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the US a person is from by _______.A.how much he or she smiles B.how he or she raise his or her eyebrowsC.what he or she likes best D.the way he or she talks4.People who live _________ are more friendly.A.in largely populated areas B.in New York City C.in the country D.in the North四EFL TEACHERSSummer PostsOnce again we require 10 excellent TEFL Teachers for our summer program.

She posted a picture of the president, wrote “Kill Bush ” across the top and drew a sword stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.It was too late, Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her biology class. The 14—year—old was taken out of class Wednesday and questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who said the agents should have included them when questioning their daughter.The teenager said the agents’questioning led her to tears. “I wasn’t dangerous,”said Wilson, an honor student who describes herself as politically enthusiastic. “I’m a peace-loving person. I’m against the war in Iraq. I’m not going to kill the president.”Her mother, Kirstie Wilson, said two agents showed up at the family’s home Wednesday afternoon, questioned her and promised to return once her daughter was home from school.After they left, Kirstie Wilson sent a next message to her daughter’s call phone, asking her to come straight home and telling her that two men from the secret service wanted to talk with her.But moments later, Kirstie Wilson received a text message from her daughter saying agents had pulled her out of class.Julia Wilson said the agents threatened her, saying she could be sent to court for making the threat. “They yelled at me a lot,”she said. “They were unnecessarily mean.”Wilson and her parents said the agents were justified in questioning her overher MySpace. posting. But they said the agents went too far by not waiting until she was out of school and the agents should have more quickly figured out they weren’t dealing with a real danger.Assistant Principal Paul Robinon said the agents gave him the impression the girl’s mother knew they were planning to question her daughter at school. There is no legal requirement that parents be notified.“This has been an on-going problem.”said Ann Brick, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union in San Francisco.Former governors Pete Wilson and Gray Davis vetoed(否决) bills that would have required that parents give permission or be present when their children are questioned at school by law enforcement officers.1.Julia Wilson was questioned because .A.she wanted to kill President BushB.she set up the website Myspace.C.the agents thought she might be a threat to the federalD.she was a peace-loving person2.What can we infer from the text?A.Julia Wilson will be put into prison for making a threat.B.Kirtie Wilson thought it wrong to question her daughter in school without them.C.Assistant principal thought there was no need to inform Julia’s parents when questioning her.D.Ann Brick believes that teenagers should not be politically enthusiastic. 3.What does the underlined word “mean” mean in the text?A.cruel and violent B.poisonousC.kind-hearted D.unfair4.The author wrote this story mainly to .A.struggle against the war in Iraq started by the USB.discuss whether parents should be included when children are questioned C.warn teenagers not to post web pages on websitesD.criticize the former governors who vetoed the bill六When Nathan Winograd announced that he was leaving his job as a lawyer in California to run an animal shelter in Tompkins County, New York, his father looked at him for a long minute and then asked, “What do dogs and cats need a lawyer for?”The move meant giving up eight weeks’ vacation, an office with a view of the San Francisco Bay and a big house among the redwoods, and moving to a rural area know for its harsh winters. But Winograd’s wife, Jennifer, also an animal lover, was all for it. So they packed everything they owned, and with two young children, plus two dogs, and a bunch of cats Winograd had rescued, drove cross—country.On the second day, they had no room for six more puppies they received. They found an old horse trough, filled it with hay and nestled the animals inside. They placed it next to the front desk, and within a day or two, all six had homes, adopted by people who walked into the shelter and couldn’t resist.Blind dogs, cats with missing limbs—all find homes. “There is no dog or cat too old, toougly or too undesirable not to be adopted by someone,” says Winograd.Today, Tompkins County is considered the only no-kill county in the United States. Nine out of ten dogs cats that come through the shelter doors are saved. Only animals with incurable injuries or illnesses, and the truly evil, are put down. The national average is half of all dogs and 70 percent of cats, totaling more than four million animals last year alone.Even though he drives an old car that leaks when it rains, and his family lives on a tight budget while his classmates from Stanford Law earn six-figure salaries, Winograd says he’s doing what he’d always wanted to do when he grew up; run an animal shelter and save all the animals.As a young district lawyer, he kept his goal in mind, starting when he raised his first animal cruelty case. A man was accused of intentionally setting his brown cat on fire. Winograd made his case, and the abusive owner was sentenced to prison.It was the first of many such cases, and he raised each with vigor. But the senseless violence, neglect and ignorance never failed to shock him. He decided simply, “I need to get to the other side and start saving these animals.”Now, Winograd is helping to save thousands, even millions, “I’m convinced that a no kill nation is possible, I’m just here trying to shorten the time until it arrives.”1.What was his father’s response when Nathan Winograd left his job as a lawyer in California?A.He was all for it. B.He was strongly against it.C.He was greatly puzzled. D.He was very angry.2.How did Winograd successfully save so many animals?A.He kept all the rejected animals in a large shelter.B.He let the animals adopted by people who visited the shelter.C.He sold some of the animals and get some money.D.He delivered the animals to the local government.3.Which could be the right order of the following events according to the passage?a.Winograd and Jennifer set up an animal shelter.b.Winograd and Jennifer lead a comfortable life.c.Winograd and Jennifer got married and had two children.d.Winograd and his family lived on a tight bugget.e.Winograd worked against animal cruelty as a lawyer.f.Winograd worked as a lawyer in Californiag.Winograd and Jennifer moved to Tompkins County.A.f-c-b-g-a-e-d B.f-e-d-e-a-g-b C.g-a-c-b-f-e-d D.e-d-g-a-f-c-d 4.Which could be the best title of the passage?A.Being Rich is Important B.Animals, Our Best FriendsC.No Pet Left behind D.The Winograd Family七This website is meant for the short story and for those interested in reading light articles.If you have a “classic” short story you would like added here, please don’t be shy about ing me in this regard as I would be happy to give your favorite story consideration. I have a fairly large collection of short stories; however, if you want to send a story to me, I would appreciated it (this would save me scanning time).Please note three things about this site. One, some of the biographies are not available( the focus of this site is the story, not the biographies). If they are not in the book from which I am scanning the story, I will not go through my collection looking for a bio. Two, I will be focusing on shorter short stories. No Tolstoi or F. Scott Fitzgerald here (unless you are willing to send me the story ready to go online)! Maybe some day I will want to spend an entire day or two on one story, but not at this time. Three, I have no summaries or analyses, so you needn’t ask. I read short stories often, but only for the enjoyment of doing so. I have very little desire to analyze what I am reading for that deep, hidden meaning.Fewer and fewer people these days read short stories. This is unfortunate-so few will ever experience the joy that reading such fine work can give. The goal of this site is to give a nice cross section of short stories in the hope that these short stories will excite these people into rediscovering this excellent source of entertainment.Happy reading!

Such Native images are often used to convey the idea of saving mother earth. People who accept this image find it difficult to bring together what they have seen of some reservations—shabby homes, broken cars, underfed dogs, weeds in winds, and coal strip mines. Those who most romanticize American Indians are the quickest to be disappointed and discover that things are not as good as they have once believed. However, Indians’ relationship with the land is much more complicated(复杂的) than those two black and white images which appeared in the television.Historically, tribal(部落的) people around the globe have had close ties with the earth. Lakota historian Vine Deloria, Jr., tells the story of the Ponca people who were taken from their range over a century ago and transported against their will to Oklahoma. Otherwise healthy, many Ponca wasted and died from no other clear cause than separation from their home. As Cheryl Crazy Bull says in this issue, “The land is our relative. Without land, tribal people lose their identity—the land along with language, spiritual beliefs, and social systems distinguishes tribal people from others.”To many people in the United States, the Indian reservation is an embarrassment. It represents the American version of racial seperation—a prison without walls where the government confined Indians to keep them apart from other Americans. To Indian people the reservation is home, regardless of what it looks like. They have spiritual, emotional, and family ties. Many of their relatives still live there or are buried there, and their creation stories are centered there.Americans tend to pull up roots and separate from their birthplace, moving from city to city many times. Many of us non—Indians have never visited the places where our ancestors are buried or the houses where our parents were born. Western nations use Earth in the same way, as if we can go to another planetwhen the air and water become too dirty. On the other hand, tribes are very familiar with the concept of limited resource. They cannot get another reservation if theirs becomes too polluted.1.What does the writer mainly intend to state in this passage?A.American Indians are disappointed with their living environment.B.American Indians lead a miserable life now.C.Television advertisements can have an unexpected effect on people.D.Land is very important to people, especially tribal people.2.The author included the story of the Ponca people in this article mainly to state .A.the close relationship between tribal people and landB.the poverty of the tribal peopleC.the long history of the Ponca peopleD.the great changes of the Ponca peoples life3.Which of the following statements is true according to this passage?A.Americans can use land as they like and then go to another place.B.People in the west don’t like to travel from city to city.C.Tribal people have the same concept of the resources as the non-Indians.D.The reservations have both positive and negative(负面的)effects on Indian people’s life.4.What topic does this article focus on?A.Family life of the Indians.B.People’s attitude towards land.C.The history of tribal people.D.Environmental pollution nowadays.十The octopus’s(章鱼)reputation as a human-killer isn’t simply an exaggeration(夸)—it is a total myth. The octopus can indeed be a deadly hunter, but only of its natural victims. Some shellfish(壳类动物)and an occasional sick or incautious fish have reason to be frightened of this multi-armed hunter, but a person is much too large to interest even the biggest octopus. Even the largest among octopi is much smaller than most people imagine. Far from being large enough to swallow a ship, as monster octopi in movies have been known to do, the largest octopus, found on the Pacific coast, weighs around 110 pounds and grows to no more than ten feet in width.The hard, parrot-like beak(喙)of an octopus is not used for attacking deep-sea divers, but for cutting open shellfish. Indeed, the octopus possesses such a tiny throat that it cannot swallow large pieces of meat. Instead, it feeds by pouring digestive juices into its victims, and then sucking up the soupy remains. A shellfish that finds itself in the grasp of an octopus has only a short time to live. Buthuman beings are perfectly safe. Still, people rarely care to go close enough to these careful creatures to get a good look at them.1.This passage is mainly about .A.the horrors of the octopusB.the largest octopus in the worldC.octopi and their behaviourD.the octopus’s deadly hunting method2.It is implied but not stated in the passage that .A.people have unreasonable fears about the octopusB.the octopus is not interested in human beingsC.the octopus is afraid of human beingsD.the octopus is a very cruel sea animal3.What does the underlined part “careful creatures”refer to in the last paragraph?A.Octopi. B.Shellfish. C.Fish. D.The victims. 4.The hard beak of the octopus is used for .A.attacking deep-sea diversB.cutting up large pieces of meatC.cutting open its victimsD.defending itself5.From the passage, we can conclude that .A.the octopus is not dangerous to manB.people often fear creatures that are not dangerous to themC.the octopus only hunts its natural victimsD.things described in movies are not to be believed十一We all hate speed cameras, don’t we? They’re not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents; they just make money for the government. They trick us, cost us cold hard cash, disturb us from driving properly and are unfair.Well, here’s a surprising thing: what if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives? It’s a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what’s happening in France, a country with a historically poor record of road safety.There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France for example, but that dropped to 8412 by 1995 following rules such as compulsory seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995.Last year, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time, or 4.9 per cent less than 2004. Comparing road deaths to population in 2005, that’s about 817 per million people compared with Australia’s 806.And guess what? Last year the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 1,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years.Okay, you know the arguments regarding increased traffic safety andcameras-for-income, but it seems in France there’s been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws. A three-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on.Travelling on the highways, it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130km/h speed limit when once few traveled below it. The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming. There’s even an official web site listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly.Maybe it is because of such transparency by government, rather than the concealment too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French can enjoy la joi de vivre thanks to speed cameras.1.Generally, it seems to most people that speed cameras are used to .A.make money for the governmentB.slow down the trafficC.lower the road accidentsD.help us drive properly2.From the passage we can learn that .A.France has a very poor record of road safetyB.we’d better ignore the evidence that speed cameras save livesC.France had less road deaths than Australia in 2005D.France does successfully in controlling road accidents3.Which seems more effective in lowering road deaths in France according to this passage?A.Compulsory seat belt. B.Lowering blood alcohol limit.C.Placing more speed cameras. D.Eating in a shorter time.4.Now you can seldom see in France .A.people drive at a speed of less than 130km/hB.lunch time lasts long hours with drunk people rushing back to officeC.drivers drive according to the traffic lightsD.police conduct traffic in streets5.What does the underlined word “concealment” in the last paragraph mean?A.Secrecy. B.Openness. C.Strictness. D.Harmony.十二Sometime early in the next century, human beings will move to Mars. They will live there for about a year, and then will be replaced with another group of pioneers. Building the base on Mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth.We already know that Mars resembles the earth in many aspects: general size, presence of water, length of day, range of temperatures. These resemblances have caused many people to consider a centuries-long project: to terraform Mars. Terraforming means altering a planet’s surface so that Earth’s life forms can survive there. This concept, previously found only in science fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists.。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1.篇Language as a System of Symbols(符号)Of all systems of symbols, language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said, “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals, ” they feel that the symbol is inherently connected in some way with the things symbolized.1.Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _______. A.have made use of language for centuriesB.use our nervous systems to support languageC.have made various noises stand for any eventsD.can make anything stand for anything by agreement2.What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?A.Different noises may mean different things.B.Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.C.The language we use symbolizes our social positions.D.Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.3.In Paragraph 3 the underlined phrase “take special pains” probably means “_______”. A.try very hard B.take our timeC.are very unhappy D.feel especially painful4.In Paragraph 3, the example of the little boy is used to show that _______.A.adults often learn from their youngB.“pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirtyC.words are not connected with the things they stand forD.people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works【答案】1.D2.B3.A4.D【分析】这是一篇说明文。

阅读理解训练50篇(1)1Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal withit. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotionalproblems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express angeropenly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other peoplekeep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person'shealth than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor-mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC.Ingeneral the person feels excited and ready to act.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believethat those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and theybelieve that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admitthat you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is seriousenough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has madeyou angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.1.“Damaging emotion” means that _________.A.the emotion is harmless B.the emotion is harmfulC.the feeling is very strong D.the feeling is hard2.What statement is right?A.Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症).B.Once you are angry, you must be cancered.C.Angry as you are often, you can't be cancered,D.Anger may cause you a cancer.3.Expressing anger violently _________ repressing it according to some scientists.A.is just the same as B.is more harmful thanC.is no better than D.is much better than4.According to the author, you'd better _________.A.never be angryB.cool it down before you express itC.laugh and laugh when you get angryD.admit you are wrong when you are angry二There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. Noschool I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill.There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must begiven over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage achild to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with thecomplexities (复杂性) of spelling.If spelling becomes the only focal (焦点的) point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing isabilities in writing, but it was terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technicalalso a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted(省略) to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’ s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动机) to seek improvement.1.Teachers are different in their opinions about _________.A.he difficulties in teaching spellingB.the role of spelling in general language developmentC.the complexities of the basic writing skillsD.the necessity of teaching spelling2.The underlined expression “play safe” probably means ________.A.to write carefullyB.to do as teachers sayC.to use dictionaries frequentlyD.to avoid using words one is not sure of3.Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ____________.A.students will be able to express their ideas more freelyB.students will have more confidence in writingC.students will have less trouble in correcting mistakesD.students will learn to be independent of teachersjudgment on that sensitive piece of writing is 4.The author seems to think that the teacher’s__________.A.unfair B.reasonable C.foolish D.careless三Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns whereto set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US looks much alike.New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact,the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be wellinto grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike.We learn our looks from those around us.This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in。

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。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they leant to. A few people are paid for sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in England earns more than 300,000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply mean, “Buy our things”. It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as…” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.1.From the passage we can learn that .A.famous people spend too much money and time on sportsB.the development of sports is slower than any other activityC.most people enjoy sports because they can earn a lot of moneyD.now sports is not only an amusement for people2.In this passage “professional sportsmen” means people “_____________”.A.who teach others how to make money in sportsB.who take sports as their jobsC.who are very fond of sportsD.who teach other sportsmen how to play sports3.Now, the “sport” means .A.what most of the people do in their spare timeB.hunting wild animals and birds in the forestsC.organized gamesD.something that people are paid to4.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Most people play sports only for money.B.Those who play sports earn more than those who do not.C.People play sports for different purposes.D.Those who play sports want to keep strong and fit.【答案】1.D2.B3.C4.C【分析】本文是说明文。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1 each year, people play tricks on each other. These tricks are usually silly rather than mean. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s shoelaces to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realise it’s only a joke. Newspapers announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant!”) and report on fake stories (like “UFO” lands in New York City).Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year. On April Fool’s Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens NO. 1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No. 4?The te achers looked and looked. They couldn’t find another chicken. After a few hours, they realised that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They’d been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s Day remains one of my favourite memories from those years.1.What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool’s Day?A.Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool’s Day.B.Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool’s Day.C.Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool’s Day.D.Newspapers often cheat people.2.Why did students set chickens free?A.They wanted to let chickens free. B.They wanted to let chickens run all round the school.C.They wanted to see feathers flying. D.They wanted to play a trick on the teachers. 3.How many jokes did the students play on the teachers?A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.【答案】1.A2.D3.B【分析】这是一篇记叙文。

最新高一年级英语阅读理解专项训练(带答案)(50篇)

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across. but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day.1.According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills?A.Reading and listening.B.Reading and writing.C.Writing and speaking.D.Speaking and listening.2.To improve your reading, when you read you should ________.A.look up all the new words in the dictionaryB.think about what you are reading activelyC.spend more time studying grammarsD.copy as many words and sentences as possible3.The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”. A.meet B.discoverC.hear D.look for【答案】1.A2.B3.A【分析】这是一篇说明文。

The new school year has just started and children across the UK have to wake up early in the morning to go to school.But students at one school in northeast England are lucky. They can lie in bed for an extra(额外的)hour before they go to school. Monkseaton High School has been allowing its pupils to come into school an hour later than other schools.The headmaster, Dr Paul Kelley, says that this new approach(方式) helps students pay more attention to their lessons in class. He feels that young people are more energetic and can perform better for the rest of the day. And he adds that for their school students, a late start at school may be better than an early one.Dr Kelley tells the BBC that teenagers don’t perform very well in the morning and their need to sleep is biological(生物的). It seems that this new approach to teaching shows positive(积极的) results. The number of students who sleep in class drops quickly. Besides, the school has already seen a drop in the number of pupils who play truant(逃学) by 27%. More importantly, Dr Kelley also says that exam results have improved by 20%-30% over the past year.Classes at Monkseaton High School begin at 10 a.m. and finish at 3:40 p.m. However, the school opens from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The students can come early and leave late if they want.1.What is this passage?A.A news report.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇On Monday, I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliet’s middle school. She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test.“Dad, I need to memorise a unit about the Reproductive Cycle o f Plants. And I can hardly make it.”“You know memorising seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.”Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorise the material. On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said, “Okay Dad, let’s study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didn’t know the answers, I enc ouraged her to check the book.She started checking things that didn’t make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn’t memorising; she was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do.1.Why did Juliet feel down?A.Because she failed her science test.B.Because she had trouble memorising a unit.C.Because she knew nothing about planting.D.Because she couldn’t follow her teacher.2.In the writer’s opinion, which was the key to best learni ng?A.Memorising. B.Testing.C.Questioning. D.Understanding.3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.Making her check the book.B.Using simple questions to test her.C.Encouraging her to read the unit.D.Asking her to teach me the unit.4.Which can be the best title for the passage?A.A Creative FatherB.An Unexpected TestC.Learning from TeachingD.Preparing for Teaching【答案】1.B2.D3.D4.C【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了爸爸通过让女儿教他来学习这种方式帮助女儿深入理解所学的知识。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇Feel nervous on the first day of school? You are not alone! Here is some advice on how to make you feel comfortable.Get ready the night before. Plan out what you’re going to wear and what you will need for class. Then get a nice, long sleep. There’s nothing worse than looking terrible on the first day of school. If you don’t want to oversleep, set an alarm on your phone, or alarm clock to wake you up on time.Eat a good breakfast. You’d be surprised at how much happier and more focused you’ll be after eating a good breakfast. Have a healthy breakfast.A rich breakfast may make you feel lazy and sugar rich foods may affect your ability to stay focused.Decide whether to take the bus, walk, or have a ride from your parents.

One should be moderate(适度) in all things. Moderation is always the safest way to do things and a virtue(品质)we should have. Let's take the student life for example. There are some students who study too hard and play too little, while there are others who play too much and study too little. On one hand, it is harmful to his health if he has too few exercises, and on the other hand, it is harmful to his mind if he plays too much.
One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993.That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.
