高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇The biggest soccer organization in the U.S. introduces new rules to make the sport safer.The U.S. Soccer Federation announced that players in its teams who are 10 or younger are no longer allowed to head the ball. Players aged from 11 to 13 have limits on how often they can practice heading.The new rules are set to stop kids from getting hurt because of a blow to the head that shakes the brain. Players may get headaches by heading the ball. Even worse, they may also get concussions, which will cause lasting brain damage.Heading the ball can be one of the most dangerous parts of soccer. Sometimes the force of hitting the ball with their heads gives players concussions. But more often, players receive concussions when they jump to head the ball and by accident knock heads with other players or fall and hit their heads on the grass.“More concussions happen during the act of heading than any other action in soccer,” says Dr. Robert Cantu, an expert on brain damage.So far, the new rules are only used by teams that are part of the U.S. Soccer Federation. But the group says it hopes more soccer teams will soon follow its example.Former U.S. soccer star Brandi Chastain is one of the leaders of the activity to ban heading among young soccer players. She welcomes the rule change but wants the rule to include all players under 14.1．The new rules are made to________．A．keep young players from being hurtB．teach young players how to practice headingC．make the U.S. Soccer Federation more famousD．encourage young players to improve their skills2．What is Brandi Chastain’s attitude towards the new rules?A．She is against them.

We are all just a 10 string in the tapestry (挂毯) of life. We can’t always 11 where we are going or what we are connected to. If we pull ourselves out of it, we will leave a 12 in it.Don’t feel lost in the tapestry of life then. Embrace your 13 in it.

"But actually, it's not an easy one because it requires heavy work, such as moving wood and large, heavy flowerpots – things that are 2 when creating works – which requires 3 ."Lu was 4 by a vocational school (职业学校) in 2017, a year after he graduated from junior high school at age 16. "The first thing I learned was design. Then my teacher told me that maybe I should study floristry because he felt I was 5 in that area," he said with a laugh. Lu said he was not 6 about the suggestion then. "Actually, I knew 7 about floristry. All I knew at the time was that some students in our school had won the 44th WorldSkills Competition in Abu Dhabi in 2017."Lu said he was in a poor condition when he 8 the competition. "Almost two weeks before I had the final training in July, I was 9 of ideas, which was terrible for a competitor whose project needed new ideas. I got used to my new identity later, thanks to my 10 who guided me with their patience and scientific training courses."His trip to Kazan was 11 , but he enjoys the memory. He said he had 12 during the competition because he was getting more and more nervous as the competition 13 . "We were given all our tasks about 15 minutes before the competition started. It was really hard because we had to 14 ideas for all in such a short time," he said."I didn't 15 during the World-Skills trials(预赛), as there were so many experienced and excellent competitors," he said. "But I was always 16 . I think my positive 17 brought me opportunities and the final honor.""Many of my classmates were pleased after winning medals at the competition, but they lost their 18 . I won the gold medal at the age of 19, but I know that it's not my final 19 . I want to develop more new 20 ."

The search for food is the 1 human behavior. Thus, 2 food were easier to get and prepare, it would be really 3 for humankind. It would reduce a great burden(负担). The development of processed foods(加工食品) has made food easier to get and prepare. 4 every coin has two sides. Apart from its advantages, the 5 of cooking also has its disadvantages.Though processed foods seem a great way to save 6 , they offer much less nutritional(营养的)value than traditional foods. People today are so 7 that they are not able to spend enough time preparing their food. As a result, many people 8 to eat processed foods, ready-to-cook meals and various fast foods. But what will 9 if one eats such food all year round? It will damage your 10 . The nutritional value of the food is not so high. Worse still, research shows that preservatives(防腐剂)used in these foods are 11 to children. That’s why health experts warn people not to eat too much of such 12 food.Besides, since people spend little time 13 food, the culture of cooking is slowly 14 . Cooking is not done just to satisfy hunger; it is also a(n) 15 form of art. Across the world, there are thousands of 16 cooking styles. If young people are used to processed foods, few of them will develop great cooking 17 . And when they become parents, it will be hard for their children to enjoy a(n) 18 home-cooked meal. What’s more, cooking is a great time for 19 to connect. There is a lot of 20 when family members are preparing food together.In a word, I believe though processed food has made the preparation of food much easier, it has not been a good step for humankind.1．A．special B．basic C．right D．valuable 2．A．though B．before C．if D．unless 3．A．dangerous B．helpful C．troublesome D．surprising 4．A．So B．And C．But D．Or 5．A．easiness B．safety C．method D．difficulty 6．A．energy B．food C．money D．time7．A．rich B．strange C．smart D．busy 8．A．choose B．dislike C．refuse D．stop 9．A．change B．happen C．get D．offer 10．A．future B．memory C．brain D．health 11．A．harmful B．useless C．meaningful D．necessary 12．A．cold B．sweet C．unhealthy D．hot 13．A．heating B．finding C．preparing D．storing 14．A．varying B．dying C．appearing D．developing15．A．important B．famous C．simple D．new 16．A．regular B．ordinary C．different D．similar 17．A．knowledge B．lessons C．interests D．skills 18．A．delicious B．clean C．expensive D．cheap 19．A．patients B．friends C．families D．cooks 20．A．success B．work C．progress D．fun【答案】1．B2．C3．B4．C5．A6．D7．D8．A9．B10．D11．A12．C13．C14．B15．A16．C17．D18．A19．C20．D。

The first English people were fishermen there , and they named the place Greenwich , meaning "green village". Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful places .The name of the earliest palace was Placentia . Its windows were made of glass ---the first in England .Henry VIII lived there . He knew that England must be strong at sea . So he started two big ship-yards (船坞）at Greenwich ,and for 350 years the ships which were made there were the best in the world .But trouble was coming to Greenwich . In 1649 , a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king . The men who had worked for him at Placentia decided to live the place themselves . They sold all its beautiful things , and bought small pieces of the palace garden with money . Finally , the war ended and King Charles II came back . But Placentia was falling down . So King Charles built a new and bigger palace , which is now open to the public .At this time , Charles was worried about losing so many of its shipsat sea : their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were . So in 1675 , Charles made John Flamsteed , the first astronomer (天文学家）in England , try to find the answer . Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park . From it with a telescope which he made himself , Flamsteed could look all round the sky . And he did , night after night , for twenty years . Carrying on Flamsteed's work a hundred years later , an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea , and helped sailors to know where they were .You can see Harrison's clock , still working , in Greenwich's museum of the sea . Because of Flamsteed's work , every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time .___45. The first English people living in the "green village" were _____ .A. sailorsB. fishermenC.

Even those small acts of kindness canmake a difference in someone’ day.

However, much to her surprise, she began seeing a flood of 3 every time she hit the road. More often than not, people 4 slowly near her car would roll down their windows, raising their 5 , waving and smiling. Sometimes, she even found some sticky notes left on her windshield saying things like “You 6 too!” Once while she was driving down the highway, she became 7 when a man driving a sports car at a high speed pulled his car alongside suddenly, waving and mouthing, “You matter!” Though it took her some time to recover from the 8 , she still felt happy. Last year, someone 9 her car while she was waiting for her friend in the car by the roadside, saying to her, “It is a(an) 10 sticker. I’ve seen various stickers before, but none of them have touched me as your sticker has done.” The two small words on the sticker seem simple enough, but they really struck a chord with many complete strangers who 11 to catch sight of the sticker.Stories like Amie’s really 12 the rest of us. Sometimes a kind word or gesture may lift our 13 and it doesn’t cost a thing except for a little extra thought. Maybe it means offering a friend a hug, praising the children when their children 14 well in school, helping someone out or volunteering at nursing homes. Acts of kindness are waiting everywhere.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇As years went by, I realized that one of the biggest problems of these adults was worry. A large majority of students were businessmen, executives, salesmen, engineers, accountants：a cross section of all the trades and professions—and most of them had problems! There were women in the classes—businesswomen and housewives. They, too, had problems! Clearly, what I needed was a textbook on how to conquer worry—so again I tried to find one.I went to New York’s great public libra ry at Fifth Avenue and Forty-second Street and discovered, to my astonishment, that this library had only twenty--two books listed under the title WORRY. I also noticed, to my amusement, that it had one hundred and eighty--nine books listed under WORMS. Al most nine times as many books about worms as about worry! Surprising, isn’t it? Since worry is one of the biggest problems facing mankind, you would think, wouldn’t you, that every high school and college would give a course on “How to Stop Worrying”?Yet, is there even one course on that subject in any college in the land? I have never heard of it. No wonder David Seabury said in his book How to Worry Successfully：“We grow up with as little preparation for the pressures of experience as a bookworm asked to do a ballet (芭蕾舞).”The result? More than half of our hospital beds are occupied by people with nervous and emotional troubles.I looked over those twenty--two books on worry, reposing(靠) on the shelves of the New York Public Library. In addition, I purchased all the books on worry I could find；yet I couldn’t discover even one that I could use as a textbook in my course for adults. So I decided to write one by myself.1．What made the writer realize one of the adults’ biggest problems?A．His wide reading.B．His practical survey.C．His scientific research.D．His students’ real situation.2．What do David Seabury’s words in Paragraph 3 show?A．Worry is extremely common.B．We lack knowledge of worry.C．We show no interest in worry.D．Worry can hardly be controlled.3．The writer wrote the passage to .A．show us how to conquer worryB．warn us of the possible danger of worryC．persuade us to get rid of worryD．explain why he wanted to write a book on worry【答案】1．D2．B3．D【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。

冀教版高中一年级英语阅读理解专项训练（一）ADuring the five-day Labor Day holiday that began on April 30, tourist attractions that offered ancient Chinese, or guofeng experiences attracted large crowds, some members of whom wore traditional clothing and makeup to enhance the authenticity of their experiences.Qujiang New District in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, charmed tourists with a new attraction themed on TV serial The Longest Day in Chang 9 an. It offers visitors a chance to 44 travel back in time”and experience a day in the life of people living in the Tang Dynasty. Xi'an, known as Chang ' an back then, was the imperial capital.The World Rural Tourist Town in Huzhou, Zhejiang province, staged a cultural festival with a silk and Song Dynasty theme. During the first three days of the holiday, the place received nearly 30,000 visits, putting it into a Tik-Tok list of the 10 most sought-after Huzhou attractions.The Jizhou Kiln scenic area in Jiangxi province held a tourism festival with a Song Dynasty theme.

For tourism businesses, it's important to highlight the cultural elements of tourism products by drawing inspiration from China ' s traditional culture.To create a more impressive experience9 staff members dressed in hanfu would join the crowd and interact with the tourists by, for example, handing them flower seeds, the staff member said, adding that services such as hanfu rental and traditional makeup design are available in the park.Hotels are also tapping the guofeng craze to feed the growing passion for traditional Chinese culture.

It is always the busiest time of the year for the 66-year-old farmer.Braving bitterly cold winds and occasional heavy snow, he often patrols more than 10 kilometers a day by bike along the banks of the Yellow River. Fan has been doing this unpaid work for more than 20 years. To date, he has helped over 500 wild birds that have been trapped, injured or even poisoned,and prevented illegal hunting more than 200 times. His devotion has seen him wear out five bikes.His love for birds dates back to his childhood. As a small boy, he often fed wild birds with whatever food he could get. In early adulthood9 he not only kept the habit, but also sold crops for money to treat any injured or sick birds he came across. He even sometimes bought meat to feed wild eagles.At then, when few people were aware of the need to protect birds, his actions won him the nickname “Idiot”. However, he just smiled when he was called the name and continued his protection work without complaint.Later, the officials invited him to work as a volunteer for wildlife protection. He accepted it with pleasure. Since then, from October to March, when many migratory birds arrive to overwinter, Fan usually gets up at about 5 am to patrol the shores of the Yellow River near his village.The freezing temperatures are not the only challenge he has had to face. In 2001, he even argued with hunters. “I tried to persuade a group to stop hunting. But they refused and together they started to beat me,”he recalled.Fan's strong will has brought him many honorary titles. He became a model worker of China in 2020.

A guide.D. A fan.8.Which of the following best describes Fan Yunting's job? ( )A. Boring.B. Dangerous.C. Meaningful.D. Relaxing.CIt's certainly not unusual to see groups of footballers gathering at sports centres around the country ready to kick a ball around, but look again and you' 11 see that many of them are more mature than you first thought. Created as recently as 2011, and mostly played by those aged over 50, walking football is a sport still in its infancy.For the uninitiated，it's football, but maybe not as you know it. The game certainly isn' t as slow as you might imagine.One foot has to remain on the ground at all times, so the ball has to be moved with accuracy 9 players having to find space to receive the pass. Often players are restricted to three touches of the ball before releasing it as a mechanism to cut down on any running. The rules are further slightly changed to ensure there? s minimal contact between players with no tackling from the side or from behind.Andy Fairburn is a regular at the sessions. Now in his early-seventies, Andy finds the game still has plenty to offer him.“I' ve been playing football since I was about 16, mainly Sunday League and then playing indoor five-a-side with work teams and then starting here. Getting older, your knees are knackered, your hips start to hurt, and I'll know when it's time to stop, but I've still got some time left to enjoy it. I am still competitive9 though, and old habits die hard. What I've enjoyed most is the friendship and meeting new people. We'v e all become friends. We talk about all kinds of things. ”For many who thought football was finished for them as a participation sport due to fitness and age, it's far from the case. Walking football is a sport played by those who've never kicked a ball before through to those skilled enough to play for their country, often on the same pitch. The game may be growing faster than its participants are allowed to move, but it's never too late to enjoy the thrill of kicking a ball around with like-minded people.9.What does the underlined word “infancy” mean in the first Paragraph?（）A.An unusual thing to see.B.A beginning period of existence.C.An aging stage of advancement.D.A mature era of development.10.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? （）A.The playing rules of walking football.B.The limit of running of walking football.C.The minimal contact in walking football.D.The accuracy of the move in walking football11.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? （）A.The playing rules of walking football.B.The limit of running of walking football.C.The minimal contact in walking football.D.The accuracy of the move in walking football12.Why does Andy Fairburn like playing walking football in his early-seventies? （）A.His body parts start to hurt.B.He doesn't know when to stop.C.His team needs him very much.D. He makes new friends with others.13.What can we infer from the last Paragraph?( )A. Participants are encouraged to move fast.B.Walking football is finished for the aged.C.Participants needn ' t be skilled football players.D.Walking football is designed for skilled players.DIn the name of social distancing,this year’s graduation ceremonies have become different. However, one tradition has continued to exist-the square graduation cap,commonly known as a mortarboard hat.European scholars have been wearing caps since the first universities were started in the 1lth century, but their early caps looked more like Amelia Earhart's pilot cap than the square caps we know today. Early scholars first used the pileus. By the14th century,pileus caps were becoming taller, similar to a modern chef's hat but shorter.This style, the “ pileus rotundus”, was used mainly by university students studying law,medicine, and science.By the middle of the 16th century, a new cap style made waves in universities: the“pileus quadratus",a soft,square cap that required less material to make. Soon the two styles,round and square, became symbols of different statuses. One century later at the University of Oxford, undergraduates wore the older,rounded caps, while those with higher degrees were allowed to wear the pileus quadratus.The first American colleges were started in the mid-1600s, and their class structures degree requirements followed famous and English universities. And European scholarly traditions were kept-including ideas of proper academic dress, Today, American graduates in law,medicine,and philosophy still wear rounded caps, but undergraduates always use the square cap.Although the square hat has a centuries old history, new cap traditions are popping up across the US. About 100 years ago, students began moving their tassels from the right side of their cap to the left. To this day there are no formal rules on where the tassel should be placed, but the act of moving it from one side to the other has been widely popular.While the ways in which we observe graduation may change,the four-cornered black hat will likely remain a sort of culture for academic achievements-a symbol of celebration with roots going back to medieval Europe.14.What can be known about the “pileus rotundus”?A.It is widely used by chefs today.B. It appeared earlier than the pileus.C.It was invented by an American scholar.D. It was worn by part of the college students.15.What does the underlined p hrase “made waves”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Drew a lot of attention.B. Played a leading role.C.Lost some support.D. Caused trouble.16.What does the author want to show by introducing tassels on the caps?A.Tassels are important to the caps.B. Formal rules are necessary for the caps.C.New cap traditions have appeared in American colleges.D.College students can design different kinds of caps now.17. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The development of differe nt caps in people’s daily life.B. An unusual teaching method in American universitiesC.The history of graduates’ caps in Europe and AmericaD.Special graduation ceremonies for college students.。

The doughnuts were 10 and cut from a sheet of dough(生面团), then left to rise until ready to fry in hot oil. Then they took several seconds to 11 , which meant that my enormous batch of 100 doughnuts was 12 cooking in a fairly short time. We glazed(浇上浆液) the tops and then 13 them for the rest of the evening. The leftovers disappeared at breakfast.This will become an annual 14 , I have no doubt.
