一、阅读理解
A
High in a valley on the border of Italy and Austria,a young couple went out for a hike.As the hikers made their way across the snow-covered rocks,they found that a human body lay buried in the melting ice.They quickly called the police.Finally,the body was dug out of the ice and sent to a laboratory.In the lab,an archaeologist examined the body and other items that had been found nearby.The study of these items showed that they were over 5,000 years old!
The local people were very excited by this news.They called him Otzi because he had been found near the Otztal valley.As news of the iceman spread,people all around the world took an interest.Who was Otzi the Iceman? Where did he come from? How did he live? Why did he die?
Scientists have come a long way toward answering these questions.They have learned a great deal from Otzi’s belongings about what life was like 5,000 years ago.They believe that he had a diet made up of grains.By examining his teeth and bones,they believe that he was born in a small village near present-day Bolzano,Italy.
Scientists made X-rays of Otzi’s body.They found that Otzi had been in a fight before he died.They believe that he escaped his attackers and fled up the mountain and found a place to rest.He placed all his belongings neatly at his side,and lay down on the ground.He was weak from loss of blood.After some hours had passed,Otzi died.Snow fell,covering his body.For thousands of years,snow fell on the mountain.Otzi became buried deeper and deeper inside the glacier.There he remained until the melting ice exposed him to the hikers.
Today,Otzi rests inside an ice case in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano,Italy.Otzi the Iceman is the oldest human body ever found.Because of Otzi,we can touch the distant past and imagine the lives of our human ancestors.
1.Who found Otzi?
A.An archaeologist.
B.The local people.
C.A policeman.
D.Two hikers.
2.What’s people’s reaction to the discovery?
A.Critical.
B.Curious.
C.Terrified.
D.Uninterested.
3.Otzi probably died of injuries he received .
A.while escaping from a snow slide
B.in a fall from the mountain
C.in a fight with enemies
D.from a wild animal
4.Why did it take so many years for Otzi to be found?
A.He was buried underground.
B.He fell into a hole in the glacier.
C.He was covered in snow and ice.
D.He was hidden deep in the mountain.
B
You may normally think you eat food because it’s food,and don’t eat other things,because
they’re not.But a look at other cultures will show you that that is not true.“Food behavior is a product of culture,” according to an article by Robert A.Leonard Ph.D.and Wendy J.Saliba,MA,MBA.“Food is an important part of who you are.” It goes on to name different cultures,and how food choices change through generations as immigrants seek acceptance into an American lifestyle.
Growing up in a Jewish neighborhood,and being an Irish Catholic,I found my friends’ families served different food than mine.Foods that were never served in my home yet were common in theirs.
I read their article just days after attending my fortieth high school reunion,where many of my classmates returned from various parts of the country.The common comment from the out-of-towners was,“I have to get bagels (百吉圈) to bring back for everyone.” Bagels are especially popular in communities with a large Jewish population.When people moved away they realized the bagels they grew up with,are a part of their being.
Leonard points out that “Others’ food generally means claiming that they eat what we do not.”And,“Within our own groups,we confirm our membership by preparing and eating certain foods.”
This is true within my own family.In working with my Italian-American friends,I have always heard them complain that on Thanksgiving it is not the American customs they find so challenging in managing their weight,it’s the mixing of their Italian customs along with the American.Being Irish,this type of celebration was alien to me,until my Italian sister-in-law joined our family last year.On the first Thanksgiving she hosted,she served both the Italian and American menus.It was then I truly understood the challenges for my Italian-American friends.
Many restaurants in New York City are known for having two separate menus.They will offer one menu for the people of their culture that includes their insider foods,and one for the American consumers that does not.
5.What’s the root of different food behaviors according to Leonard?
A.Food taste.
B.Certain lifestyles.
C.Personal preference.
D.Cultural background.
6.What do the Jewish people feel about bagels?
A.They are usually served during festivals.
B.They are a part of cultural identity.
C.They are a must-have for reunions.
D.They are easy to carry.
7.What was the author’s last Thanksgiving meal like?
A.Traditional.
B.Nutritious.
C.Mixed.
D.Light.
8.Why do many restaurants in New York City offer two menus?
A.To serve dishes in different languages.
B.To offer different cultural food choices.
C.To meet the needs of people of different ages.
D.To provide different foods for different classes.

Last month,my classmate,John,caught bad cold.The news which he was running a high fever and ordinary medicine hadn’t worked on him immediate reached everybody in our class.Some recorded the English lessons for him so that he could keep up on his studies.Our English teacher calls on him at weekends.Thanks to everybody’s kind help,he failed to falling behind in his studies and finally came back to the class.With love,no illness or difficulty are terrible.Love and help are two-way streets.Our classmates were offered John help partly because he had always been a warm-heart boy.So I realise that when we help others,we are helping us.

I’m walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I’m face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at 2 top of her lungs.

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇 (名师传授解题技巧+实战练习，值得下载) 一、阅读理解解题技巧 阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力，即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。具体说来，阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：（1）掌握所读材料的主旨大意，以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节；（2）既理解具体事实，也理解抽象的概念；（3）既理解字面意思，也理解深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等；（4）既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能根据文章进行推理和判断；（5）既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。根据这几项能力测试的要求，试题中常采用如下几种题型：事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。根据这一测试要求和题型设计，答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。 1．首先解题时要充满自信。由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理，因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感，特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀，从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其实这是完全没有必要的，因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事，也是正常现象。因为按大纲要求，试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词，只要认真分析，仔细阅读，这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。 2．扫读全文，理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章，首先要快速扫读全文，虽为扫读，但不可漫不经心，阅读时也应聚精会神，力求可能多地获取材料信息，只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理，不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。
3．对症下药，各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策： （1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how 等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源，同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。 （2）推理判断题：此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思，对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手，根据上下文的内在联系，充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系，人物的动机，以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西，不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考，切勿想当然，凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。 （3）数据推算题：此题要求我们就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断，然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时，要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析，若数据信息较多，还要注意弄清数据之间的关系，同时分清有用与无用信息，最终作出正确判断。 （4）主旨大意题：此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句，抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意，因此，只要找准每段的主题句，文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。

One summer day 36 I was headed over to the administration building, I heard someone call my name. I 37 around and saw Philip, one of my colleagues standing with another young man. As Philip introduced me to the young man, named Stephen, he reminded him that he would be taking one of my 38 , Introduction to Literature. With a somewhat 39 expression, Stephen asked if my class was going to be “hard”. Would he be able to pass? I 40 he was concerned about failing before the 41 day of classes. We talked about what the class would 42 and I saw Stephen’s eyes getting b ig with 43 . Then I remembered a bit of classical dialog: Question: “How do you eat an elephant?” Answer: “One bite at a time.” I told him to 44 his work that way. To do his assignment（作业）, all of them, and to get them in on time. I added that most 45 students I knew made a timetable of all the assignment so they could 46 their workload. As time went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. He had 47 in middle school. It had taken him longer to finish than most young people.

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D.

Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his22years as an educator,but Peterson is“just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.” Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music. When students were reading S.E.Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a30-minute play with scenes from the book.Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused no race,equality and social justice,the themes of the book.Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book.

A Famous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others." Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens. Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking（未来派的）buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role". Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She's convinced that humans grow on challenges.
