一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类
1.阅读理解
A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend — a bear.
The child went missing on January 22. He was playing with friends at his grandmother's house in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned home but Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police. Police formed a search and rescue team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and still — no Casey.
Then on January 24, someone called the police saying he heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. They pulled him out of some briar. He was in good health. Casey told the rescuers that he had hung out with a black bear for two days, a bear he called his "friend".
Sheriff Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies. He said Casey did not say how he was able to survive in the woods for three days in the cold, rainy weather. However, the sheriff said, "He did say he had a friend in the woods that was a bear that was with him."
Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including some 600 volunteers, federal police and members of the military. Officer Hughes told reporters that at no point did he think Casey had been kidnapped.
His mother Brittany Hathaway talked with reporters from a local news agency and thanked everyone who joined the search for her son. "We just want to tell everybody that we're very thankful that you took the time out to search for Casey and prayed for him, and he's good," said his mother. "He is good, he is up and talking. He's already asked to watch Netflix. So, he's good …"(1)When did Casey get lost?

两天之后,警察根据得到的线索在树林里找到了凯西。
凯西告诉他的救援人员在森林里的这两天他一直和一只熊在一起。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“The child went missing on January 22. He was playing with friends at his grandmother's house in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned home but Casey did not”,可知这个孩子在1月22日失踪了。

根据第三段中的“Then on January 24, someone called the police saying he heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9 :30 that night. ”可知然后在1月24日,有人打电话给警察,说他听到一个孩子在树林里哭泣。
警方跟进了该消息,并于当晚9点30分发现了凯西。
所以是有人提供了关键的信息来帮助找到这个男孩。
故选C。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的" ‘We just want to tell everybody that we're very thankful that you took the time out to search for Casey and prayed for him, and he's good, ‘ said his mother. ’ He is good, he is up and talking. He's already asked to watch Netflix. So, he's good …’"可知男孩凯西的妈妈说:"我们只想告诉大家,我们非常感谢您抽出宝贵的时间去搜寻凯西并为他祈祷,他的状况很好。
" "他很好,他在说话。
他已经被要求观看Netflix。
所以,他很好……",从妈妈的话中可知她很感激大家的帮助,她说这些话的目的就是为了向救援人员表达自己的感激。
同时她强调凯西一切都好,感到很欣慰。
故选B。
(4)考查推理判断。
本文讲述了一个小男孩失踪后被找到的事情,文中有具体的时间地点和各方人物,描述详细客观,结合最后一段中的 talked with reporters from a local news agency 可以推断这最有可能是一篇新闻报道。
故选A。

2.阅读理解
In 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entire French Scrabble Dictionary in just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French. Richards' impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works—real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.
The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field with a lot of data—it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.
But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs—executives, diplomats, economists
—go well beyond the AI limitation of single-field and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.
Are you worried that these three types of jobs won't employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathy—which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children.
So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.
(1)What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To mention Nigel's feat.
C. To stress the importance of good memory.
D. To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.
(2)Which of the following best explains "outperform" underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Be superior to
B. Be inferior to
C. Be similar to
D. Be related to (3)Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?
A. The writer.
B. The shop assistant.
C. The babysitter.
D. The psychologist.(4)Which of the following suggestions can the author give about job replacement of AI?
A. Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.
B. Get more support from the government.
C. Apply for the donation from companies.
D. Upgrade people's professional skills all the time.
【答案】(1)A
(2)A
(3)B
(4)D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,人工智能有取代人类工作的潜力,但是,并非所有工作都会被人工智能取代,有四种类型的工作完全没有风险。
因此,在人工智能时代人类仍然会有工作,关键必须是对劳动力进行再培训,这样人们才能从事这些工作。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段可知一个名叫奈杰尔·理查兹(Nigel Richards)的人在短短九周内记住了《法国拼字游戏词典》中的386,000个单词。
但是,他不会说法语。
其展示了人工智能是如何工作的。
而后文主要与人工智能有关,由此推断作者写第一段的目的是引出人工智能这个话题。
故选A。
(2)考查词义猜测。
根据第二段中的“Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks—pr ovided the task is in one field with a lot of data”可知AI可以在日常任务中outperform人类(前提是该任务在一个涉及到大量数据的领域中;以及“it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.”可知从技术上讲,人工智能具有在未来大约15年里取代成千上万的白领和蓝领工作的能力。
结合下文推断人工
智能能够具有取代人类的工作是因为AI在日常任务中表现超过了人类,划线词的意思是"胜过,超过",故选A。
(3)考查细节理解。
根据第三段中的“First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can.”可知四种类型的工作完全没有风险。
首先,有创造性的工作。
人工智能不可能像科学家,小说家和艺术家那样进行发明创造。
也就是作家和科学家不会被取代。
排除A;再根据第四段中的“as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors.”可知需要情感的工作,例如老师,保姆和医生也不大可能被取代,因此排除C和D。
故选B。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的“So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them.” 可知作者认为在AI时代仍然会有工作,关键必须是对劳动力进行再培训,这样人们才能从事这些工作。
进行培训是为了得到专业技能,由此推断作者会给出一直提升人们的专业技能的建议,故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查,是一篇科技类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,并根据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。
3.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" 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. Wander in this frame of mind and you
will open a new dimension to your life.
(1)According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more .
A. anxious to do wonders
B. sensitive to others' feelings
C. likely to develop unpleasant habits
D. eager to explore the world around them
(2)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.
(3)The bird watchers' behavior shows that they .
A. are very patient in their observation
B. are really fascinated by nature
C. care only about the names of birds
D. question the accuracy of the field guides
(4)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.
(5)In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should .
A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world
B. get rid of some bad habits in our daily life
C. open our mind to new things and ideas
D. try our best to protect nature
【答案】(1)D
(2)A
(3)C
(4)B
(5)A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,我们有多久没有仔细观察我们周围的世界了。
作者通过此文要告诉我们:放慢脚步,带着我们所有的感官来感受周围世界的奇妙。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第二段中的”Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child's day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder.“可知,与成人相比较,孩子观察得更多,孩子的一天充满了魔力、新奇和惊奇。
从而可以推断出孩子更急于探索他们周围的世界。
故选D。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第三段作者叙述在一个寒冷的夜晚,作者和学生徒步旅行穿过一条小溪的时候,学生们抱怨水太冷而不愿往前走,结果事实上那是一个温泉。
作者举这样一个事例是为了向读者传递这样的观念:避免过早下结论。
故选A。
(3)考查细节理解。
根据第四段中的”Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things.“可知,鸟观察者发现鸟后只关心鸟的名字,并不关心它在做什么。
故选C。
(4)考查细节理解。
根据第五段中的”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.“可知,徒步旅行者只关心能够及
时到达目的地,而很少关心周围的事物。
故选B。
(5)考查推理判断。
作者想要通过此文要告诉我们:大自然只展现给那些善于观察和等待的人,带着我们所有的感官来感受周围世界的奇妙吧。
故选A。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇人生感悟类阅读,考生需要准确捕捉细节信息,并根据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。
4.阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old, and could not read until he was seven? His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability.
Beethoven's music teacher said about him, "As a composer (作曲家) he is hopeless." What if this young boy had believed it?
When Thomas Edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything. He once said, "I remember I used to never be able to get along at school. I was always at the foot of my class ... My father thought I was stupid, and I almost decided that I was a stupid person." What if young Thomas had believed what they said about him?
When the sculptor (雕刻家) Auguste Rodin was young, he had difficulty learning to read and write. Today, we may say he had a learning disability. His father said of him, "I have an idiot (白痴) for a son." His uncle agreed. "He's uneducable," he said. What if Rodin had doubted his ability?
Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no "good ideas". Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher, "You can't sing. You have no voice at all." And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal.
What if these people had listened and become discouraged? Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven, the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney? As Oscar Levant once said, "It's not what you are but what you don't become that hurts."
You have great potential. When you believe in all you can be, rather than all you cannot become, you will find your place on earth.
(1)How many successful people are mentioned as examples in the passage?
A. Six
B. Seven
C. Eight
D. Nine.
(2)Which of the following statements is RIGHT?
A. When he was young, Thomas Edison always got good grades at school.
B. Levant thought Louisa May Alcott couldn't write any popular works.
C. Only Auguste Rodin's uncle regarded him a boy of learning ability.
D. Both Enrico Caruso and Beethoven achieved their dreams in music.
(3)What's the meaning of the underlined sentence "He's uneducable"?
A. He can't be taught.
B. He is very clever.
C. He is different.
D. He is a late success.(4)What is the best title for the passage?
A. Working Hard for Success
B. Having Dreams
C. Believing in Yourself
D. Self-challenging
【答案】(1)B
(2)D
(3)A
(4)C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,列举了爱因斯坦、贝多芬、爱迪生等七个名人成功的故事,他们都曾得到别人较低的评价,但最终成功实现了自己的梦想;“相信自己”是他们成功的关键。
(1)考查细节理解。
第一段列举了爱因斯坦的故事,第二段讲述了贝多芬的故事,第三段提到了爱迪生的故事,第四段讲述了奥古斯特·罗丹的故事,第五段提到了沃特·迪士尼、恩里科·卡鲁索、路易莎·梅·阿尔科特的故事,共列举了七个著名人物,故选B。
(2)考查细节理解。
根据第二中的“Beethoven's music teacher said about him, ‘As a composer (作曲家) he is hopeless.’”;第五段中的“Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher,‘You can't sing. You have no voice at all.’”及第六段中的“Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven, the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney? ”可推知,贝多芬和恩里科·卡鲁索都实现了他们的音乐梦想,故选D。
(3)考查句义猜测。
根据第四段他的父亲和他的叔叔对他的评价"I have an idiot (白痴) for a son." "His uncle agreed."可知,他们都认为他是白痴;据此可以推断,该句意为“他是教不会的”,故选A。
(4)考查主旨大意。
通读全文可知,本文前五段列举了七个名人,他们的共同点是都曾得到别人较低的评价,后来却成功实现了自己的梦想;本文的最后一句为本文的主题句,据此可以判断,C项“相信自己”最适合做本文标题,故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,句义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇人生感悟类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。
5.阅读理解
When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the Pennsylvania countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life. We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, joining the daily routines and eating meals with the farmer and his family. We got up early to see the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, and then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward.
Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip which made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members. To this day, I still consider that family trip when I plan to take time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should be saving our money and time for.
For my family, our vacation starts when we begin planning the trip. We talk about destinations and our budget (预算) ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel? Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night? Involving (使参与) the kids in planning the
vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. I prefer to visit historical sites and museums while they love to fish and swim. So I build in some relaxation time for us all so that the vacation can work for everyone.
Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversations—deep, silly or meaningful. There's no pleasure from the usual everyday tasks. What matters is that everyone is having a great time.(1)Why did the author and his parents go to the countryside when he was young?
A.To milk the cow.
B.To meet the farmer and his family.
C.To experience country life.
D.To enjoy the scenery.
(2)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The author encouraged his customers to save their money for family vacation.
B.The author met new people and new things during the trip.
C.The trip helped the author understand the meaning of vacations better.
D.The author involved his kids in planning the vacation to cut their budget.
(3)What is this passage mainly about?
A.The author had a good time in the countryside.
B.The author advised others to spend vacations with their families.
C.The author tried to enjoy the holidays with his family.
D.The author realized the value of family vacations and put it into practice.
【答案】(1)C
(2)D
(3)D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者由小时候的一次和父母去农村体验生活意识到度假的价值——认识新事物,结识新朋友,与家人分享难忘的经历。
这让作者在后来给自己的家庭计划假期的时候,也让家人们参与其中,这样确保每个人都有一个美好的假期。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第一段中的“When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the Pennsylvania countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life.”当我还是个男孩的时候,我的父母和我从纽约到宾夕法尼亚的乡村旅行了一周,体验乡村生活。
可知,作者小时候和他的父母去农村是为了体验乡村生活。
故选C。
(2)考查细节理解。
根据倒数第二段中的“Involving the kids in pl anning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too.”让孩子们参与计划假期,确保他们也有一个美好的假期。
可知,作者让孩子参与假期计划是为了确保孩子有一个美好的假期,并不是为了节省预算。
故D选项错误。
选D。
(3)考查主旨大意。
根据第二段中的“Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip which made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members.”几十年后,我仍然对那次旅行记忆犹新,那次旅行让我意识到度假的价值,认识新事物,结识新朋友,与家人分享难忘的经
历。
以及下文中作者将那次对家庭度假的价值的认知,付诸实践到自己的家庭生活中。
故D选项“作者认识到家庭度假的价值,并将其付诸实践。
”最符合文章中心。
故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和主旨大意两个题型的考查,是一篇人生感悟类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,并根据上下文进行概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。

7.阅读理解
It was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: "And they lived happily ever after." As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then it dawned on me that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to "live happily ever after".
Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in grief and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.
It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it "one day at a time". Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.
The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to "live happily ever after, one day at a time".
(1)What is the author's wish to his daughter?
A. Getting a good job in the future.
B. Making many friends in her school.
C. Traveling around the world in her life.

The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop like myself were never perfect; however, they were excellent. Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness, understanding, and patience.
One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.
When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability. David was very quiet (he was evaluated as a slow learner in school).Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door.
One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave. It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was short-handed. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front doo r and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted,“Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!”
David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying,“He doesn't talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!”

A. find a person who is reliable
B. give him some practice
C. find a part-time worker in need
