It was July 17th of 2017. The little helpless girl, who had trouble walking, was going out into the wide world. In June 2016, I got the idea that I was going to America as an exchange student. With tears in my eyes, I said goodbye to my family.
After I finally arrived at the airport in Burlington, Vermont. I was welcomed by my host family. They didn't know much about my disability. “I hobble a little, but I don't see it as a problem.” I think it's the will that decides what you can and cannot do, and the disability doesn't matter!
Before I went to the US, I knew I was going to miss home. But I went! Why? I've been a fighter ever since I decided not to give up my breath when I was born! My mother wrote my host mom an e-mail and told her about my hard birth so they would understand. I remember clearly after she finished reading it, she came into the room, gave me a big hug and said, “You are a fighter.” My host family supported me so much during the year. In school, small notes were sent out to all my teachers, by e-mail, to tell them about my disability. Everything worked greatly.
By the end of my year, exchange students were asked to talk about our years. I spoke in front of about 100 people! I was extremely proud of my “speech”. The following day some teachers stopped me and said, “Your speech was the best one.”
My year in Vermont was the best thing I've done so far! I proved I AM A FIGHTER and that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

Mr. White's family decided to repair their house. Mr. White bought the house two and a half years ago. Since his kids were growing up, he and his wife wanted to make some changes to the house.
They decided to knock down their living room wall to open up the space. When the wooden walls were moved, they were shocked to find a lizard （蜥蜴） stuck in the small space between the walls. The lizard's foot was stuck by a nail （钉子） which was knocked into the wall from the other side several months ago. However, they wondered how the lizard had survived so long without moving from that place.
The family decided to wait for a while and see how the lizard survived several months without moving. While they were doing other things, they kept an eye on the lizard. The son, Ray, suddenly shouted, “Dad, look here!”
Another lizard appeared, carrying food to the stuck lizard's mouth. That was a real surprise! Everyone was touched that the lizard fed the other one for all this time.
Both lizards had never-ending hope for each other and carried their hearts with love and care. Why can't we humans always carry that kind of love in our hearts? Life is full of all kinds of

3．阅读理解
Many years ago, I was a very shy girl at my school. I couldn't forget the way I had frozen in front of the class. My hands had shaken so badly that I couldn't read my notes. My voice had become softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly stopped me, “Masha, I know you're shy, but you worked hard on this project. If I give you another chance tomorrow, can you find your courage?
I had nodded. I had kept my head down, hoping that the school day would end soon. When I got home that day, I could see an inviting light from the kitchen windows. Momma was backing. When Momma backed, I always watched and chatted with her. She said it was my company that made her baked goods taste so sweet.
Momma studied my face as I came into the kitchen. “What's wrong, Masha?” Tears shone in my eyes. I let the whole story out. Momma was silent for a moment. Then she said, “Let me show you something.”I followed Momma to her bedroom and carefully took out a blue ribbon that said “First Place” from it.
“I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. I won it for public speaking. It wasn't easy—I was not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”
That was the second time someone had told me that. I followed Momma back to the kitchen. What was it that made me so afraid? Soon Momma's sweet cake rose in the pans, and the smell of it comforted me as I wondered where I would find my courage. Momma put a thick piece in front of me. “ There's nothing better for heartache than Momma's love baked in a cake.”
I raised a forkful of warm cake to my mouth. All the fear in the world could not take away Momma's love. I felt safe in Momma's kitchen. It was warm from the bottom of the heart.
The next day I walked to the front of the classroom to give my presentation again. As I faced the class, I remember the ribbon and the smell of Momma's kitchen and then took a deep breath and began to speak with confidence. Finally I succeeded.
（1）Why was Masha unhappy that day?
A. She was not good with her classmates.
B. Her teacher criticized her.
C. She didn't perform well in front of the class.
D. She failed in an exam.
（2）How many times had people told Masha she need find courage?
A. Once
B. Twice
C. Third times
D. Many times
（3）________ help Masha find her courage.
A. Momma's blue ribbon
B. Momma's cake
C. Mr. Roberts
D. Momma's love （4）What's the best title of this passage?

【解析】【分析】这篇文章主要讲述了一个害羞的小女孩在一个报告会上很紧张，表现得很不好，在妈妈的帮助和鼓舞下被母爱感受，最终找到了面对困难的勇气，在第二次挑战
中取得了成功。
（1）C 推断题。由I couldn't forget the way I had frozen in front of the class. My hands had shaken so badly that I couldn't read my notes. My voice had become softer even to silence.可知她在报告会中及其紧张，像被冻住了一样，双手颤抖甚至说不出话。显而易见，她在报告会上表现得不好。由I had kept my head down, hoping that the school day would end soon. Tears shone in my eyes. I let the whole story out.她低着头，希望这一天赶紧过去，回家后还哭了告诉了妈妈整件事。由此可见她是因为在课堂上表现不好而不开心。故选C。
（2）B 细节理解题。由第一段老师说的can you find your courage和第四段妈妈说的You just need to find your courage.可以看出共有两次。由第四段That was the second time someone had told me that. 也可以看出共有两次。故选B。
（3）D推断题。由There's nothing better for heartache than Momma's love baked in a cake. All the fear in the world could not take away Momma's love.可知她认为治疗心病最有效的是蛋糕背后蕴含着的母爱，母爱能够战胜所以恐惧。所以很明显帮助她找到勇气的是母爱而不是蛋糕或者其他东西，故选D。
（4）B 主旨大意题。文章多次提到了勇气第一段can you find your courage？第四段You just need to find your courage.the smell of it comforted me as I wondered where I would find my courage由此可见，找到勇气是文章的一条主线，引出了妈妈，是母爱让她找到了勇气，升华了主题。用其他题目都不能很好地概括文章，没有画龙点睛的效果，故选B。
【点评】这是一篇记叙文，同时里面也有作者的一些观点。文章以一个害羞的小女孩找到了勇气为为线索，证明了母爱的伟大，升华了主题。做题时应该兼顾全文，从全文中推断出答案，而不能只看一句话，要通观全文。主旨大意题要能够看到作者要表达的内在意思，不能只看到文章的字面意思。

When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book, and a poor man got it.
The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum（羊皮纸）on which was written the secret of the "Touchstone".
The touchstone was a small pebble（鹅卵石）that could turn any common metal into pure gold.
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this. The real stone would feel warn, while ordinary pebbles are cold.
So the man sold his house, bought a tent, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles.
He knew that if he picked up normal pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebbles hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold—throw it into sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched into months and the months into years.
One day, however, about midafternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He was used to throwing each pebble into the sea as soon as he picked it up. So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.
So it is with opportunity（机会）. Unless we are vigilant, it's easy to fail to realize an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away.
（1）According to the passage, the touchstone is a stone __________.
A. that you can touch
B. that can turn common metal into pure gold
C. that can bring you thousands of pebbles

B. Moved.
C. Interested.
D. Regretted.
（4）What's the meaning of the underlined word “vigilant” in the last par agraph?
A. Brave enough.
B. Hard—working enough.
C. Careful enough.
D. Strong enough.
（5）What does the writer want to tell us?

Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth（1864） and From the Earth to the Moon（1865）. In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and, as a result, they were very popular. Verne's writing included many predictions（预言）for the 20th century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies, and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared. These books were very successful and they made Verne rich. Jules Verne's books have been the subjects for many movies. 20, 000 Leagues under the Sea was a successful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first time that Disney movie had used real actors instead of cartoon drawings. Around the World in Eighty Days is another famous movie based on one of Verne's books.

一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Huawei Technologies Co. displayed its much-anticipated in-house operating system Harmony OS on Friday, marking what some call the Chinese tech giant's biggest push yet to build its own software ecosystem for the era of the internet of things. The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States government's restrictions on Huawei using Google's Android operating system in smartphones, analysts said. Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business group, speaking in Dongguan, Guangdong province, said it is difficult to deliver a smooth experience across different devices with the huge amount of codes involved in the Android and Linux operating systems. Linux is an open-source operating system widely used in personal computers and other hardware. "Harmony is a next-generation operating system designed to address the challenge," Yu said, adding that it will be able to support a wide range of application situations, including smart TVs, automobiles and wearables. The internet of things refers to a network of devices and other objects that can connect with each other and exchange data. Yu said the US government's restrictions have accelerated the company's marketing of the system, which now has about 4,000 employees working on it. The senior executive said Harmony can be used in its smartphones. But Android is still Huawei's preferred choice for handsets if the company is allowed to use it. "But when Android is not available, Harmony can be applied immediately to smartphones. Harmony is ready," Yu added. Jia Mo, an analyst at market research company Canalys, said even if Huawei does not use Harmony in its smartphones in the short term, its smartwatches and smart TVs can be equipped with Harmony to widen its use and accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem. "Also, more importantly, Huawei chose to build Harmony into an open-source operating system and allow it to be compatible with Android. Thus Harmony will be more accepted by current Android users. This will prevent Huawei from repeating the fate of Microsoft in promoting smartphone systems," Jia said. Microsoft failed to popularize the use of its Windows system in smartphones years ago. （1）What is the significance of the Harmony OS? A. It symbolizes Huawei has finished its own software ecosystem. B. It may reduce the threat from US government's restrictions. C. It will accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem. D. It successfully borrows from Microsoft's Windows system. （2）Which of the following may take the place of the underlined word "compatible" in the last paragraph? A. Used harmoniously. B. Operated quickly. C. Resisted fiercely. D. Monitored closely.（3）Where may we find this article? A. Fashion magazines. B. TV interviews. C. Historic documents. D. News websites.

最新人教版英语阅读理解（人生百味） 一、九年级中考英语阅读理解（人生百味）（含答案详细解析） 1．阅读理解 “Please take my penny,” said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets. Her brother Andrew drew her back, whispering, “Maggie, he is not a beggar （乞丐）!” But M aggie paid no attention. “Please take it,” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little miss,” he said, “It is kindly meant.” After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired. She sat down on a rock. Soon she was scared because the sea water was going up. She wanted to go home, but she found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up. The stones were wet and smooth. What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried. Luckily, Dan's large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! Rover raised his loud bark. The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs （悬崖）, and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover was in trouble, so he looked over. There he saw it all. “Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons' rooms. “Quick, boys, quick!” he said.“Get to the boat, and row fast to the sea. There is a poor child there just waiting to be helped.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out to give her into her mother's arms. “It was the penny that did it, madam,” he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny. And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day.” Some years later, Rover came to Maggie's home with a little note, in which was written—“Will Maggie help Rover?—his master is dead.” （1）Who rowed Maggie to land safely? A. Rover. B. Old Dan. C. Old Dan's sons. D. Andrew. （2）What we can guess from the end of the story? A. Maggie refused to be Rover's new master. B. Rover felt sad about Mrs. Western's death. C. Rover lived with Old Dan until his master died. D. Maggie became Rover's master at once after she was saved. （3）What can we learn from the passage? A. One kind act brings another.

高考英语阅读理解试题经典及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we're hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education. One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there's a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a "three-year degree" model. I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly "throw out" one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist "diluting （稀释）" the quality of the education they offer. In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it's not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns （实习生） in meaningful parttime jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University. （1）Which of the following can best sum up the main idea? A.It's time to shorten the learning process. B.Best learning takes place over time. C.University education should be watered down. D.College education calls for reform. （2）We can learn from the passage that _ . A.most American universities are against the "three-year degree" model B.many famous US universities are considering adopting the "three-year degree" model C.professors are willing to accept the "three-year degree" model D.The "three-year degree" model can make college learning more efficient （3）In most US universities, _ .
