一轮复习高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Babies born in summer are more likely to become short-sighted in late life, a study has shown. As many as a quarter of all cases of short-sightedness are caused by too great an exposure to sunlight in the first weeks of life, say eye experts.They are advising all parents to put sunglasses on their babies during the first weeks. Scientists had already established that over-exposure to sunlight caused shortsightedness in animals.Researchers who compared the months in which babies were born with whether they needed glasses later on say the principle also applies to humans.A study of almost 300, 000 young adults-the largest of its kind-showed that those born in June and July had a 25 per cent greater chance of becoming severely short-sighted than those born in December or January.Research leader Professor Michael Belkin, of Tel Aviv University, said it was because prolonged illumination(光照) causes the eyeball to lengthen-causing short-sightedness.Hence the more light a newborn is exposed to, the more the eyeball lengthens and the worse the short-sightedness will be.The mechanism which lengthens the eyeball is associated with levels of melatonin(褪黑激素), a pigment (色素) which protects the skin against harmful rays of the sun.In young babies not enough melatonin is released as protection, meaning they are more vulnerable to sunburn and changes to eyeball shape.Sight expert Professor Daniel O'Leary, of Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, said "At the moment we don't know the precise cause of why light exposure affects sight, but the evidence seems to prove that it is one of the reasons for people becoming shortsighted."（1）Babies born in summer are more likely to be shortsighted ____________.A. because the summer sun is too strong for babiesB. because babies born in summer have lengthened eyeballsC. if they are exposed too much sunlight in the first weeks after they are born D if parents don't know a proper way to protect their babies' eyes（2）Melatonin is a kind of material to ___________.A. prevent the eyes from becoming near-sightedB. protect the skin from harmful sun raysC. make our body strongD. protect babies' eyes from summer sun（3）From what Professor Daniel O'Leary says we can conclude that ___________.A. there is no evidence that shortsightedness is related to exposure to sunlightB. whether light exposure affects sight still needs to be further provedC. he believes that light exposure can cause shortsightednessD. he tries to give the cause of why light exposure affects sight（4）The underlined word "vulnerable" in the passage probably means __________.A. easy to be harmedB. resistantC. protectiveD. changeable【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，研究表明在夏季出生的婴儿长大后更容易成为近视眼，眼科专家称多达四分之一的近视眼病例是由于在出生后前几周里暴露阳光太久造成。

Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly." It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle.The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1, 000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack "is built around safety from the start". In his words, "Reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency. "It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot," he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.（1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike ________.A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyB. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1, 000 meters highC. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsD. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed（2）Peter Coker uses the example of Formula One racing car to show that ________.A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliableB. the engine of the Jetpack is powerfulC. the actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueD. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height（3）The underlined word "It" in the last paragraph refers to ________.A. the jet streamB. the engineC. the JetpackD. the parachute （4）What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?A.

【2013·潍坊5月模拟】“Oh，you must have been a spoiled (宠坏的) kid.You must be really bossy.I wonder what you’re going to be like to deal with？” That’s often the response Angela Hult gets when people fi nd out she’s an only child，she told ABC News.Despite such negative (消极的) remarks，Hult has decided to have only one child herself.And she’s not alone.According to the US’ Office for National Statistics，women approaching the end of their childbearing years had an average of 1.9 children in 2004，compared with 3.1 for their counterparts in 1976.The percentage of one­child families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 to 26 percent in 2007.But even though only children are becoming increasingly common，the traditional view that they’re selfish，spoiled and lack social skills holds strong.Even parents of only children，like Hult，are made to feel guilty about having only one child.Worried that they’re being selfish and endangering their child’s future，they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice.Soon，however，they ask themselves：is this social prejudice really reasonable?“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers (同龄人)，” S usan Newman，a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US，told ABC News.This raises another question：why are only children still viewed with such suspicion?“There is a beli ef that’s been around probably since humans first existed that to have jus t one child is somehow dangerous，both for you and for the continuation of your race，” Toni Falbo，a professor of educational psychology，told the Guardian.“In the past a lot of children died.You’d have had to be crazy to only have one.”Times，of course，have changed and infant mortality (婴儿死亡率) has largely reduced.So what do only children themselves say?Kayley Kravitz，a blogger for The Huffington Post，grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience.“Being an only child taught me the most valuabl e skill of all：the ability to be alone，” she said.1．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A．Are only children lonely?B．Are only children common?C．Are only children dangerous?D．Are only children different?2．What does Susan Newman mean?A． Only children are as good as their peers.B．Only children are more selfish and spoiled.C．Parents feel guilty about having only one child.D．Parents will endanger their only child’s future.3．What is the common belief since human existed?A．The infant death rate always stays high.B．People are crazy to have only one child.C．It’s easy for only children to earn their living.D．It’s hard to continue the family line with only one child.4．An only child like Kayley________.A．must be difficult to persuadeB．can possibly learn to be aloneC．should value special skillsD．need ignore bad experience5．What’s the author’s attitude towards having only one child?A．Neutral.

一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解As the President of Ariel Investments, I am often asked how to cultivate (培养) green hands to be qualified for a new job within a short time. My memories take me straight back to the days when I worked for John W. Rogers.While in college, I worked as an intern (实习生) at Ariel Investments. As the youngest girl of six kids from a single mom, I had very little knowledge of the business world. When I graduated, I decided to return to the company to improve myself.At the age of 22, my perspective was greatly influenced by lunching with the company's founder and then-president, John W. Rogers. He told me that I would often find myself in the company of rich and successful people with big titles, lots of degrees and lots of experience. And yet, my ideas could still be as good or even better, he said. This early advice became the guiding force that has helped me throughout my entire career. When I was starting out, I thought my inexperience was holding me back, but John said that it was a good thing. He told me that being inexperienced means that you have a fresh point of view.As my tutor, John encouraged me to be brave. As my boss, he took some giant leaps of faith to support me. Because of our first lunch and the years of support that followed, I never thought twice about speaking up, raising my hand or taking a seat at the table. Staying in the background was never a choice. But John's advice came with one important warning. I needed to keep my attitude in check. It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be rude. Similarly, there is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. With that in mind, I have had to learn to balance the way I act around others. As someone once told me, "the goal is to be non-threatened and non-threatening at the same time."（1）What can we learn about the author from the text?A.She went to Ariel Investments after graduation for practice.B.She made her voice heard with encouragement from her boss.C.Her miserable childhood had a negative effect on her work.D.Her performance during internship was highly praised in public.（2）Due to John W. Rogers' advice, the author_______.A.learned to strike a balance between work and lifeB.contributed her ideas only after listening to others'C.no longer felt lost and became aware of her own valueD.switched to a different company to display her talent（3）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Keep Your Attitude under Control.B.Encourage Your Employees to Grow.C.Let Your Success Be Your Noise.D.Live a Life with a High Goal.（4）Who would probably benefit most from this article?pany bosses.B.Those new to a job.C.Business consultants.D.Experienced teammates.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作为实习生，作者在实习期间受到公司的创始人、董事长John W. Rogers深深地影响，John W. Rogers鼓励作者要敢于思考、发表自己的想法，也鼓励作者要勇敢，因为John W. Rogers，作者也学习到"要有锋芒却不伤人"。

My daughter has been in karate (空手道) since the first grade，and has been in high honor and gifted classes her whole life.She is always a joy，and at 15，though people tell me we should be fighting and she should be hanging out at malls and chasing boys，she is none of that.My 11－year－old son，Tom，for years would fight with me over everything.If I said the sky was blue，he would say it was black.For years he was failing several subjects.We took games away and then TV; we tried a reward program，but nothing worked long.He would bring a grade up to get his stuff (物品) back，and then go back to where he had been.My daughter told me one day to bring him to her karate class，and maybe life in the martial arts (武术) would help him turn around.At first he didn't like it because he had to ask permission to do anything，and he had to say “yes，sir” and “no，sir” for everything.He even had to respect his sister，because she was of a high rank.So he wanted to stop.However，my husband told our son，“If I can do this at 40 something years old，so can you.”And then I would take my whole family three or four times a week to learn martial arts.My son learned so much about a better way of living：respecting others，following the rules，and above all respecting himself.I am proud to say both of my kids are now high honor students，and we could not be closer than we are.There is always an answer to your problem.If you do your research or just ask another person，or even a kid for help，you will find it.And when it comes to our kids，the right answer is always worth finding.【解题导语】作者通过自己的经历告诉父母们，在教育孩子的过程中遇到困难不要放弃，只要努力总会找到解决问题的办法。

In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes.Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone“Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣,唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the seve rity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when thechildren are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.1．Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.A. most of her hair had fallen outB. she was receiving treatment for cancerC. she felt depressed and quit from schoolD. she was suffering from a pain in her back2．What do we know about Anita Kruse’s project?A.
