高中英语阅读理解专题综合练习36篇Passage 1Sometimes there are questions in our minds which we would like to ask people,butwe are too shy orembarrassed(为难的) At other times we feel it iswrong to trouble others with our problems,or are prevented from asking by our fear ofbeing criticied.Often there need be no such fear because other people haveundergone(经历)the same questionings,dous or worries as ourselves,and many adults or teenage friends are only too pleased to share their knowledge or experience with us.Indeed,in many cases they also learn something,and much unnecessary worry is prevented.You may use this Question Time to ask anything about life that you don't understand,or any question of a personal or general nature that has either troubled youfor some time or arisen recently.In order to protect your feelings,which you may not want exposed,write the question down (in capitals if you wish) on a slip of paper without your name on it.Then fold the paper and hand it to your teacher who will sort the questions out at home before the lesson takes place.He will respect the fact that the questions areasked in confidence(秘密地);they should,however,be sensible and honest ones.During the lesson the teacher will read out a question,and then call upon one ortwo volunteers from the class to offer their opinions before giving his own.Theclass should regard both questions and answers and the discussion that arises from them as confidential to avoid breaking the trust the questioner has placed in the lesson,and to make possible further discussion of similar problems on another occasion.It is also helpful to remember that the answers given represent only one or two points ofview—someone else might answer them quite differently.1.Sometimes we have questions,but we would not like to ask people because____A.we are not sure about our questionsB.we are afraid of being criticiedC.we are afraid of being in difficultyD.we only believe in ourselves2.The author suggests that in order not to be known,you should _______A.try to avoid asking questionsB.give the question paper without the name on it to your teacherC.discuss the questions with your groupD.sort the questions out at home and then tell them to your teacher3.The author tells us that _______A.in class we should value the speakers' questions or answers to show our trustB.in public we may learn something to avoid unnecessary worryC.It's better to write your questions down than to ask them orallyD.only those who ask questions in confidence are sensible and honestPassage 2Chinese Mainland,Hong Kong,Taiwan Join Hands in SARS Research The World Health Organiation says the number of SARS(非典型性肺炎)cases worlide has reached 2,960.Though half of the affected patients have recovered,new cases are still being reported and the cause of the disease has still not been pinpointed.The Chinese mainland,Hong Kong and Taiwan are all among the 23 countries and regions trying to cope with the epidemic(传染病).South China's Guangdong Province is one of the areas hardest hit by SARS.It'salso where the first case of the disease was reported.Observers say the situation in Guangdong has steadily improved with a sharp downturn in the number of affected patients.So far,over 83 percent of the patients have recovered and been released from hospital.“First of all,we need to understand that SARS is an epidemic and the human immunity(免疫性) to the disease is therefore weak.But,from what we have experienced and observed,there is no reason topanic.The disease's infectiousness(传染性)is being weakened as it p asses from one group to another.”said hong Nanshan,director of Guangdong Team for SARS Prevention and Treatment.The director says the key to fighting the disease now lies in finding the cause and developing a vaccine(疫苗).This calls for concerted cooperation within theinternational medical community.So far,the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong have been working well together.The SARS situation in Taiwan offers a more reassuring picture.So far a little over 20 people have been affected,with no deaths reported.Taiwan medical experts say this is in part due to effective quarantine(隔离) of suspected patients.But mainland cooperation with the island has so far been confined to the individual level.“We have cooperated with the US Center for Disease Control and the Hong Kong Health Department.Recently Taiwan officials have been to Hong Kong to learn from the region's experience.After all,Hong Kong is now the epicenter(中心) of SARS and has developed some effective ways to diagnose(诊断) the disease.”said hang Cangneng from Taiwan Xinguang Hospital.Experts from the mainland and Taiwan are pushing for greater cooperation(合作) in the field.A joint seminar by all three sides will be held later this month.Questionsrelating to the virus's profile and the cause will be discussed at length to shed light on the remaining questions about the disease.1The passage mainly tells us ___________A.SARS is a disease which can not be controlledB.Chinese mainland,Hong Kong and Taiwan will cooperate so as to deal with SARSC.Chinese mainland,Hong Kong and Taiwan are the areas hardest hit by SARSD.how to prevent and treat SARS2. SARS is a disease _______________A.which can be dealt with very easilyB.whose infectiousness is weakened when it passes from one area to anotherC.which does not endanger patients' livesD.which passed from other countries to China3.

Her new kitchen cabinets and walltowall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution,which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation's drive to save energy.The problem itself isn'tnew.“The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along，”says Moschandreas,a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies inMaryland.“Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in somecases.”The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes ratherthan old ones.Back in the days when energy was cheap,home builders didn't worry much about unsealed cracks.Because of such leaks,the air in an average home was repaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour.As a result,the pollutants generated in most households seldom built up to dangerous levels.1.

到公元前273年，秦国又一次向魏国出兵，势头空前猛烈。

In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.B., the qin army launched another attack upon the State of Wei with a momentum more vigorous than ever.The king of the State of Wei summoned his officials,and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars,the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak ofresistance. At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the offinials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain.However Su Dai, a counsellor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said:"Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all.It is just because they are cowardly and afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temperarily satisfy theambition of the king of the State of Qin is insatiably greedy. It will never stop assaulting us until our land is totally given away."Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. That was because he didn't know that,instead of putting out the fire, faggots could only make it burning more vigorously. Isn't it equivalent to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?"Though Su Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. For the king of the State of Wei was cowardly and only cared for peace at the moment.As might be expected,the Qin army assaulted the State of Wei on a large scale in 225 B.C.,surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes of the Huanghe River.The State of Wei was finally destroyed by the State of Qin.This story appears in the Historical Records Written by Sima Qian.The set phrase"carrying faggots to put out a fire"is used to mean adopting a wrong method to save a situation and ending up by making it worse.战国末期，秦国向魏国接连发动大规模的进攻，魏国无力抵抗，大片土地都被秦军占领了。

Although it was never completed. It contains more than seven hundred species representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus diseases, and thousands of flower parts and magnified details.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they leant to. A few people are paid for sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in England earns more than 300,000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply mean, “Buy our things”. It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as…” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.1．From the passage we can learn that .A．famous people spend too much money and time on sportsB．the development of sports is slower than any other activityC．most people enjoy sports because they can earn a lot of moneyD．now sports is not only an amusement for people2．In this passage “professional sportsmen” means people “_____________”.A．who teach others how to make money in sportsB．who take sports as their jobsC．who are very fond of sportsD．who teach other sportsmen how to play sports3．Now, the “sport” means .A．what most of the people do in their spare timeB．hunting wild animals and birds in the forestsC．organized gamesD．something that people are paid to4．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Most people play sports only for money.B．Those who play sports earn more than those who do not.C．People play sports for different purposes.D．Those who play sports want to keep strong and fit.【答案】1．D2．B3．C4．C【分析】本文是说明文。

高中英语阅读理解 30篇1、 To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor;you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class： he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play： they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.1. What is the text about ?A. How to become a good teacher.B. What a good teacher should do outside the classroom.C. What teachers and actors could learn from each other.D.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. ThenPeople who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.1. We should take good care of our eyes .A. only when we can see wellB. only when we cannot see perfectlyC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are2.

Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for .A. seeing at nightB. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide areaD. judging distances5. People who suffer from astigmatism have .A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses13、 Grandma was a wonderful story-teller, and she had a set of priceless,individually (独特地) tailored stories with which American grandparents of her day brought up children.

They will take on a packed competition schedule including the badminton world championships, which is set to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark in August 2023, the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, and the Thomas and Uber Cup in China in 2024.Once China had dominated in badminton at the Olympics, when Chinese players won a clean sweep of five gold medals at the London 2012 Olympics. But the most recent two Olympics, Rio de Janeiro 2016 and Tokyo 2020, saw the team only grab one gold medal at each of the Games.In the men's doubles, all eyes were on the burgeoning partnership of Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi, after Liu's former partner Li Junhui retired after the Tokyo Olympics. The new partnership between Liu and Ou was solidified as they took to the court with a burning desire to surpass expectations, encapsulated by a sensational comeback win from four match points behind against Japan in the semifinals.Another pair that showcased their immense potential was Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang, the dynamic duo in men's doubles. Liang and Wang, both in their early 20s, displayed remarkable chemistry and synchrony on the court.Their electrifying performances at the Sudirman Cup not only catapulted them to victory but also solidified their position as rising stars within the global badminton community. Though they did not play much at the Sudirman Cup thanks to the dominance of teammates meaning they did not need to play, the duo, now ranking in sixth place in the world, has been pinned as China's future hopes in men's doubles as their fast pace in the discipline has made them resilient.A similar narrative unfolded in the men's singles.After 2016 Olympic gold medalist Chen Long's retirement, China had traditionally relied on their top-ranked player Shi Yuqi to lead the charge in key matches, but the emergence of Li Shifeng has added a new dimension to the team's prospects.With an unwavering passion and an insatiable hunger for success, Li, now 23 and the player who defeated Shi at the All England Open final in March, made his mark during his debut at the Sudirman Cup in a group game against Denmark, winning the match against Rasmus Gemke 2-1. His performance not only bolstered Team China's chances in the tournament but also served as a testament to the depth of talent waiting in the wings.But there are also some disappointments for the young players, as was the case for 22-year-old Feng Yanzhe, who appeared in the mixed doubles with Olympic gold medalist Huang Dongping in the semifinals against Japan. However, learning how to deal with defeat will also help these young players cope with pressure in the future.There has never been a successful athlete who did not have to deal with failure. Only when an athlete knows how to face defeat and disappointment will they be able to learn what it takes to become a champion.The rise of these young players at the Sudirman Cup has breathed new life into China's badminton squad, especially with the retirements of veterans Chen Long, Zhang Nan, Liu Cheng and Li Junhui, which were announced during the Sudirman Cup. Their contributions were not just confined to their on-court triumphs but also extended to the team's overall dynamic. The young athletes' exuberance and hunger for success are infectious, motivating their more experienced counterparts to raise their game and embrace future challenges. Some young players have demonstrated their ability to shoulder the responsibility of leading the nation's badminton legacy. As the team faces several championships after the Sudirman Cup win, they must make sure that complacency doesn't set in.【原创·语法填空】China once 1 (dominate) the Olympic badminton competition, when Chinese athletes swept fivegold medals at the 2012 London Olympics. 2 in the last two Olympic Games, namely the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese team only won one gold medal in each Olympics.
