(2020·苏州一模)High prams (婴儿车) with coverings that protect a baby's head could go some way towards reducing exposure to dangerous particle pollution.
By installing air quality sensors and taking prams for a walk, a team at the University of Surrey, UK, has found that higher prams are better, because most particle pollution is concentrated in the first metre above road level.On average, children in prams breathe at a height
of about 0.85 metres, meaning they are exposed to about
60 percent more pollution than adults.
On top of this, particle pollution is more dangerous
to babies than adults, says Jonathan Griggs at Queen Mary
University of London, who was not involved in the study.Babies breathe faster than adults and they are easily hurt for the effects of pollution because the protective mechanisms in their lungs are not yet fully developed, he says.
When choosing the best pram for defending against pollution, the weather is also a factor.Hot summer air concentrates pollution close to the ground, making seat height particularly important.But when the air is cold, the heat from car exhausts (排气管) causes dangerous particles higher in the air, after which they fall.In these cases, prams with some kind of covering can help protect children from pollution falling down on them from above.
“There are very few existing studies to draw conclusive evide nce on which pram design is best，” says Prashant Kumar, who led the research.So far he is only able to identify broad things to look for in a pram.In the future, it may be possible to purchase add on air filter (过滤) systems for prams.One currently in development is called Brizi, which consists of a flat headrest with wings on either side of the baby's head.Air is sucked in on one side, cleaned, and blown out the other, creating a bubble of slightly
higher air pressure, which keeps out particles.
“Designing better prams is only a temporary solution to dealing with pollution itself，” says Griggs.“It's certainly cautious not to stick your child next to an exhaust pipe, and most importantly reduce emissions on roads.”
________.
A．more convenient to push
B．helpful to block sunshine
C．good for protecting babies' heads
D．effective to protect babies from pollution
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段“High prams (婴儿车) with coverings that protect a baby's head could go some way towards reducing exposure to dangerous particle pollution.”可知带有覆盖物的可以保护婴儿头部的高婴儿车，在某种程度上可以减少对危险颗粒污染的接触，所以能够有效地帮助婴儿少接触到空气污染。
4．What can parents do to protect babies?
A．Monitor their breathing rate.
B．Promote their lung development.
C．Offer comfortable seats in hot days.
D．Keep babies away from exhausts.
解析：选D 细节理解题。由最后一段最后一句“It's certainly cautious not to stick your child next to an exhaust pipe, and most importantly reduce emissions on roads.”可知父母能做的是避免婴儿接触到排放废气的管道。
5．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The benefit of high prams with coverings.
B．The development of air filter system for prams.
C．The necessity of designing the best prams.
D．The urgency of reducing particle pollution.
解析：选 A 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的内容就可以知道本文主要讲的是带有覆盖物的高婴儿车的好处。

(2020·南京、盐城一模)How would you describe your style? Formal? Classical? Casual? Smart? First of all, what is style? Let's hear a few words of wisdom from the wise.“Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say，” (Gore Vidal)；“Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charm，” (John Fairchild); “Style is the perfection of a point of view，” (Robert Eberhart); “Style is a simple way of saying complicated things，” (Jean Cocteau); “Style is the dress of thoughts，” (Lord Chesterfield)．So, now you know what style is, you'll need to buy some clothes.But where? In the UK, you can get really cheap, stylish, second hand clothes at charity shops.They're great if you want exclusive labels but don't want to pay the price.The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are.But don't worry, Leila Gray can help you here.She's the proud owner of a vintage Hardy Amies coat, picked up at a charity shop for ￡20 — a good deal when you realize it cost more than ￡800 new.“You have to go to the richer areas of a city，” she says.“That's where all the labels are.It can take a bit of hunting around, but that is half the fun, and there's a lot of buried treasure just waiting to be discovered.”
So, now you know where to buy your new, stylish clothes, how do you acquire your style? Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own style —something that's really you.That's what Scottish musician Momus did.“My fashion tip is this，” he says, “look at yourself
with the eye of a graphic designer.If you can't be attractive, aim for ‘interesting’ or ‘original’．” Momus' unique style could even make him happier, too.As psychologist Marilyn Elias explains, the happiest people “judge thems elves by their own yardsticks, never against what others do or have”．
Shoichi Aoki, the founder of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS, agrees.“I think real fashion is what people wear on the streets, the clothes that they wear, the way that they wear them，” he says.“What you see in fashion magazines and on models has been styled and it's more commercial.” He says that his inspiration for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional Japanese clothing such as the kimono and “geta”(Japanese wooden clogs) w ith Western fashion.“This really caught my eye，” Aoki adds.These styles may seem wild, but Aoki's idea is not: be bold, be creative and find something that suits you.
Maybe it's time to create your own look.There are many online guides to help you.Perhaps the best advice comes from a website called wikiHow, “If you see something you like，” it says, “feel free to copy, but don't make yourself a clone ... mix it up and make it yours.” Think about it!
A．Follow the images of the wise people.
B．Go for whatever is fashionable.
C．Simplify complicated expressions.
D．Figure out what a true style is.
解析：选D 推理判断题。第一段摘录了几名知名人士对“风格时尚”的理解，结合文章第二段第一句的过渡句可得知，首先要弄明白究竟什么是“style”。
7．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Getting clothes of leading brands.
B．Buying clothes at rather low prices.
C．Searching for really good bargains.
D．Starting a charity shop selling clothes.
解析：选C 代词指代题。根据第二段的第五、六句“The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are.”“But don't worry, Leila Gray can help you here.”，再对照这个that所在的句子前面的部分“It can take a bit of hunting around”可知，这里意思是说找到好的便宜货虽然费一些时间，但是这个过程本身就是一种乐趣。
8．What is the focus of Shoichi Aoki and his magazine FRUiTS?
A．Commercialization of fashion magazines.
B．Expression of something personal and creative.
C．Designing fashionable wear for men in the street.
D．Promoting Japanese traditional clothing worldwide.
解析：选 B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容，特别是最后一句“These styles may seem wild, but Aoki's idea is not: be bold, be creative and find something that suits you.”可知Aoki和他的杂志FRUiTS注重个性化和创意。
9．What is probably the best title for the passage?
A．How to find the style that suits you
B．Where to pick up a bargain
C．What to wear to develop your style
D．Whom to model to be popular
解析：选 A 标题归纳题。文章第一段首先解释什么是时尚，然后从第二段开始就导入主题：怎样才能找到适合你自己的时尚风格。所以选A。
D
(2020·南京、盐城一模)J.K.Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history, but her attempt to take on a new career as a
screenwriter hasn't been as smooth as she may have thought it would be.The sequel (续篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”， shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.
Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard.In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling.This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.
The “Fantastic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Harry Potter's textbooks.The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times.Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged.The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like children's fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.
It's 1927, and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe.The hero, Newt Scamander, a zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefers to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London.But the young Prof.Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times.Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the wizard race.
The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie.There
are many other characters who appear in the mystery.I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain, even as his background remains a mystery.Similarly, Newt's brother and partner, the snake-woman Nagini, and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future.Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe.The film lays strong foundations of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above them.It's like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.
With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films, and every studio trying to float a fictional universe, Rowling is today's most creative builder of cinema worlds, but there's still a difference between her and a megacorporation like Disney.Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merchandise.Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology, and just as clearly, she hasn't yet finished creating it.
The “Fantastic Beasts” series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter.Once more she collaborates with David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pictures.Still, the world she's created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot.In the Harry Potter series, she mostly succeeded in making the films into independent works.But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen, the two “Fantastic Beasts” episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy — which remains unclear.
“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is a film made for existing fans and doesn't bother to appeal to a new audience.Not by chance
does it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe.For them, the movie delivers the goods, but little of the magic remains.If Rowling continues to put out films without a beginning and an end, her world will collapse, leaving only the middle.It may be entertainment with captivating characters and effects, but it's not a mowe.
A．She was forced to abandon her original writing career and start a new one.
B．She was determined to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own.
C．She started a new fantasy book having nothing to do with the Harry Potter series.
D．She tried to enrich the Harry Potter series as a screenwriter rather than a novelist.
解析：选 D 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“ ... the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.”可以推断她试图以编剧而不是小说家的身份丰富《哈利波特》系列。
11．Who are probably the target audience of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?
A．Kids newly introduced to magic.
B．Teenage students with grand dreams.
C．Adults going through life changes.
D．Professional critics of fantasy books.
解析：选 C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The ‘Fantastic Beasts’ series feel less like children's fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.”可知这个《神奇的野兽》系列不像是儿童的食物，他们处理的是20世纪20年代末发生在欧洲的成人身上的一些恐怖事件。所以这个系列剧是针对成年人的。
12．What are the features of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?
A．Complex story and exciting characters.
B．Simple story but abundant characters.
C．Childish story and strange characters.
D．Sad story but inspiring characters.
解析：选 B 推理判断题。根据第五段的第二句“There are many other characters who appe ar in the mystery.”以及倒数第三句“Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe.”可知这个系列剧中人物众多，但是故事比较简洁。
13．Big corporations like Disney choose movie characters and beasts based on ________.
A．potential profitability of the movies
B．preference of their screenwriters
C．consultation with the original author
D．investigation into successful films
解析：选 A 根据文章第六段第一句和第二句“ ... but there's still a difference between her and a megaco rporation like Disney.”“Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merchandise.”可知像Disney这样的公司他们的喜好和J.K.Rowling不一样。J.K. Rowling塑造人物并不是考虑商业销售情况，那么像Disney这样的大公司考虑的是电影的潜在盈利能力。
14．How does the author explain Rowling's failure to create a clear plot?
A．By describing shooting processes.
B．By listing official statistics.
C．By drawing a comparison.
D．By citing examples.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段的内容可知作者通过比较Harry Potte和The Fantastic Beasts系列，指出没有经验丰富的剧作家在她的想象力和银屏之间做调停，The Fantastic Beasts系列剧的故事情节并不是太清晰的。
15．What does the author think of J．K.Rowling's performance as a screenwriter?
A．It is really a disappointment for movie goers.
B．It is widely acknowledged by her book fans.
C．There exits much more magic in her screenplay.
D．There is still much room for improvement.
解析：选 D 推理判断题。根据第一段的第二句“‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’， shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.”可知作者认为J.K.Rowling要从一个小说家转变成一个剧作家还需要历练。
阅读理解训练50篇（1） 1 Doctors 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 harmful C．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).

A．never be angry B．cool it down before you express it C．laugh and laugh when you get angry D．admit you are wrong when you are angry 二
阅读理解D专练5篇 Passage 1(2017江苏,D) Old Problem, New Approaches While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warming will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions(排放) peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation. When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that:“There is no ‘one-size fits all’ adaptation.”Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost. Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连接) to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level:his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season. Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000m3of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.
[学生用书P133(单独成册)] (建议用时：30分钟) 单项填空 1．I would still think history is a boring subject now, ________ for the trip to the site of the Zunyi Conference last summer. A．were it not B．were not it C．had it not been D．had not it been C解析：考查虚拟语气和倒装。句意：要不是去年夏天的遵义会议旧址之行，我现在还会认为历史是一门枯燥的学科。分析句子结构和句意可知，此处考查的是错综时间条件句的虚拟语气。主句中的“would still think”和“now”暗示主句是对现在情况的假设，又根据“last summer”可知，从句表示与过去事实相反的假设。在if虚拟条件句中，如果有should, had, were，可以省略if，把should, had ，were提示主语前，构成部分倒装。故选C。 2．(2019·南京、盐城模拟)He was still full of optimism for the future despite many problems, and never once ________ him get worried or upset. A．I saw B．I would see C．did I see D．would I see C解析：考查时态和倒装。句意：尽管有许多问题，他对未来仍然充满乐观情绪，我从未见过他焦虑或不安。第二个并列分句以否定词never开头，应用部分倒装结构。再结合句中的“He was still full of optimism”可知应用一般过去时，故选C。 3．She looks sad.Could you please tell me________that prevents her from being as happy as before? A．what it is B．it is what C．how it is D．it is how A解析：本题含有强调句型，若把It is...that去掉，则很容易地看出是what引导的宾语从句，what在从句中充当主语。故选A。 4．Only now and then ________ the ringing of the church bells in the far distance.
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。
高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.
高三英语阅读理解专练（七） 制卷人：施浩杰2008/11/17 A His own way to express love Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected. Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words. I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If someone does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.”this simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me. One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. Upon arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续). When I was put on a drip（输液）, he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still whispering to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have waken up. At that moment, I found love in his sparkling eyes. Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness. My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understand me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother. (344 words) 1. Why does the author envy other girls of her age? A.

（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. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A
高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school. Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God. （1）How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school? A. Through his father's friend's help. B. Through his own efforts to exams. C. Through his father's request. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence. （2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？ A. An English school was more influential. B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast. C. It met with Chinese public opinion. D. He could become a successful interpreter. （3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical. B. It was mysterious. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was wonderful.【答案】（1）A （2）D （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校，并分析了具体原因。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor.
