2019年高考英语阅读理解一轮练（1）（含解析）练习）李仕才ACareer criminals begin their antisocial behavior during their toddler (学步的儿童) years and may go on with a life of crime if their behavior isn’t challenged, scientists have discovered. While most children grow out of their bad behavior by adulthood, a study found those who had “callous unemotional (冷漠无情的) characteristics” could grow up to have problems with the law later in life. Behavior characteristics such as a lack of sympathy and lying in childhood could have an impact years on.Luke Hyde, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, said, “These are signs for parents and doctors to watch out for, as they may signal more than just the terrible twos.” He said, “Parents both take care of their child and provide their child’s genes so it’s been difficult to know if we’re seeing that parenting causes callous unemotional behaviors, or if it isjust a sign of the genes being passed to the child.”The research also discovered that strict parenting is linked to the development of antisocial behavior. Scientists looked at 561 families in an adoption study that examined biological mothers’ antisocial behavior. The scientists found children of antisocial mothers were also more likely to exhibit the same behavior characteristics, despite having limited or no touch with themas they were adopted as babies.“The really exciting take-home message from this study is that small, day-to-day positive interactions (互动) that parents have with their young children can make a huge difference in children’s development,’’ said Leslie Leve, a professor at the University of Oregon who co-led the data collection.University of Michigan, Penn State University and the University of Oregonhas been published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. Researchers will follow the group of children through early adolescence to determine if these behaviors still continue to exist from the toddler years.1.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Kids’ social behaviors are related to crime.B. Criminals begin their crimes during adolescence.C. Antisocial behaviors of kids could be on their way to a life of crime.D. Warmhearted kids are more likely to be criminals in the future.2.What conclusion might the scientists draw from the study?A. Antisocial behaviors might be inherited.B. The genes decide kids’ antisocial behaviors.C. Antisocial behaviors have nothing to do with crimes.D. Adopted babies surely have antisocial behaviors when they grow up.3.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Pa renting is the main reason that causes kids’ antisocial behaviors.B. What causes career criminals to begin their crimes is their parents’ characteristics.C. Leslie Leve has a doubtful attitude to adoptive mothers’ active interactions with kids.D. Inherited antisocial behaviors of kids can be lightened by positive parenting.4.Why will researchers track kids’ process of growing?A. To make sure if kids’ behaviors will last.B. To make sure if praise will change kids.C. To determine if kids’ behaviors wil l be inherited.D.【文章大意】研究人员发现孩子的反社会行为有可能使他们走向犯罪的道路，积极的育儿方式可以减轻孩子的反社会行为。

AIn 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up.Jean’s father was a crop dusting pilot in the little farming community in Northern California where she was raised, and Jean was very interested in airplanes and flying. She poured her heart into her report and included all of her dreams. She wanted to be a crop dusting pilot, make parachute jumps(跳伞), and be an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale" and that none of the occupations she listed were women’s jobs. Jean was devastated and humiliated.One day in her senior year of high school, her English teacher Mrs Dorothy Slaton gave the class an assignment. "If you had unlimited money, unlimited access to the finest schools, and unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do?" Jean felt a rush of her old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down all her old dreams. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, "You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough."The hurt and fear of years of discouragement went away because of what Mrs Slaton had said. Jean felt excited and a little scared. She stayed after class and went up to the teacher’s desk. Jean thanked Mrs Slaton and told her about her dream ofbecoming a pilot. Mrs Slaton half rose and slapped the desk top. "Then do it!" she said.So Jean did. It didn’t happen overnight. It took her 10 years of hard work. It wasn’t in Jean’s nature to stand up for herself w hen someone refused or humiliated her. Instead, she would quietly try to find another way.She became a private pilot and then flew planes as a co-pilot (副驾驶员). In 1978, she became one of the first three female pilot trainees ever accepted by United Airlines and one of the only 50 women airline pilots in the nation at that time. Some years later, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for United Airlines.1.When Jean Harper was in the third grade, _________.A.it was common for women to be airline pilotsB. her father advised her to be a pilot like him in the futureC. she was unsure about what she wanted to be when she grew upD. she was deeply hurt by her teacher’s comment on her dreams2.What was Mrs Slaton’s reaction when she learned about Jean Harper’s dream?A. Encouraging Jean to do what she wanted to.B. Offering Jean as much help as she could.C. Persuading Jean to give up her dream.D. Making Jean aware of all the possible difficulties.3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. How Jean Harper achieved her flying dream.B. Jean Harper’s great achievements in flying.C. The hardships Jean Harper experienced when trying to be a pilot.D. Jean Harper’s determination to pursue her dream.4.What gave Jean Harper enough strength and faith to pursue her dream?A. Her father’s influence on her.B. Mrs Slaton’s support.C. Her decision to stand up for herself.D.A teacher’s humiliation when she was in the third grade.【文章大意】本文是一篇人物传记，介绍了Jean Harper如安在英语老师的鼓励下，实现了当一名飞行员的梦想。

2019高考英语一轮阅读理解巩固练（1）AIf you want to slow aging, you might want to eat less. This finding is good news---if you were a mouse. The researchers studied mice, not people.John Price and other researchers studied two groups of mice. One group was able to eat as much as it wanted. The researchers limited what the mice in the other group ate. Their diet had 35 percent fewer calories than the first group of mice.Price says the mice with the diet restrictions were “more energetic and suffered fewer disease.” They were not just living longer but seemed to stay younger for a longer period of time.The researchers found that fewer calories slow down a natural mechanism in cells called ribosomes. Price explains that ribosomes are responsible for making important proteins in the cells. But with fewer calories, they slow down. This gives the cells more time to repair themselves.The researchers say ribosomes use from 10 to 20 percent of the cell’s energy to make those proteins. Price wrote that “because of this, it i s im practical to destroy an entire ribosome” when it starts to break down. However, “repairing individual parts of the ribosome on a regular basis enables ribosomes to continue producing high quality proteins for longer than they would otherwise. This top quality production, in turn, keeps cells and the entire body functioning well.”Price said, “ribosome is a very complex machine, like a car.” They need “maintenance to replace the parts that wear out the fastest. When tires wear out,” he explained, “you don’t throw the whole car away and buy a new one. It costs less to replace the old tires.”“Food,” he said, “isn’t just material to be burned---it’s a signal that tells our body and cells how to respond.” Price said the findings help to explain how exactly our b odies age. And this may “help us make more educated decisions about what we eat.”【】1、What can we know about the mice with limited calories from the study?A、They can keep healthy easilyB、They need more energy to be activeC、They can look younger than they areD、They will live a longer life like humans【】2、What will happen to ribosomes if there are fewer calories?A、They will completely break downB、They make proteins in the cells slowlyC、They will produce high quality proteins moreD、They may need more time to repair themselves【】3、Price explained the ribosomes’ role of repairing themselves by _________.A、telling a storyB、listing basic dataC、making comparisonsD、experimenting on mice 【】4、What does the text mainly deal with?A、Food decides how long you liveB、Can you slow down your aging process?C、Eating less may help you live longerD、Should your diet be reduced for your health?【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

Welcome unit一、阅读理解A[认识自我/]Looking into the gym， I faced reality： I was in charge， and nobody would tell me what to do. It was my first practice as a v olunteer basketball coach for the local secondary school. Howe v er， what if I had too little experience and knowledge to gi v e the athletes？ What if I taught them nothing useful？I’d felt these doubts about my ability to lead throughout my scientific training.As a master’s student and later an early PhD student， I carried out the projects my professors ga v e me —but didn’t explore further on my own. It was more comfortable to let others lead. I told myself once I gained more experience and knowledge，I’d be ready to take charge.That thought ser v ed me well through 2 years of my PhD. After finishing two projects， I felt burned out and needed refreshing. I hoped regaining my lo v e of sports through coaching might help. I decided to push past my discomfort and learn along the way.That’s how I found myself in that gym. The a thletes came in and began shooting around. I collected myself and began practice with much energy and enthusiasm. Despite my fears，e v erything went smoothly. Afterward， I heard many thought the practice was great， which encouraged me. Maybe I had what it took to lead.Around the same time，my professor offered me an opportunity to work with a master’s student on a project. I’d ha v e to be a mentor（导师）. Though not sure I could do it，I couldn’t miss the chance.My professor still supported us， but I had to take charge most of the time. It was hard. But the lessons learned as a basketball coach seemed to help me find my footing（基础） as a scientific leader，too. You don’t become a leader after getting enough experience and knowledge. Leading is a matter of choice. The key is in my willingness to try.本文为记叙文，主要讲述了作者在篮球场上发觉自己拥有领导才能的经历。

ASusan Brownell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for women's rights long before it became a popular issue.Susan was born on February 15, 1820, in Adams, Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote.At the age of 15, Susan became a school teacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing women's groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings.After the Civil War, Susan became very involved in the Woman's Suffrage Movement. After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming's __decision__.

The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert（警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus--until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots. 1．Babies are sensitive to the change in _______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects2．Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experimentB. To see how babies recognize soundsC. To carry their experiment furtherD. To keep the babes interest.3．Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fictionB. Children’s literatureC. An advertisementD. A science report参考答案1—3、DCD试题分析：本文属于科学研究类的短文，研究婴儿对于外界声音和变化的反应。

Simon Vanderpool, a special education teacher in Lexington, Kentucky, decided to do something about it. He started a program called Books and Barbers. Children go to the barber, choose a book and read out loud while the barber cuts their hair. The child gets a sticker and can take the book home. And there is an added bonus: money. The kids get paid to read.Vanderpool says barber shops are places where kids can feel comfortable. “Once a student feels comfortable, that's whenever the brain opens up, and that they are able to start focusing on nothing but learning.〞 Amir Shalash owns a barber shop. But he is doing more than cutting children's hair. He is listening to them, and helping them with their reading.Most of the children getting haircuts at barber shops are boys. Vanderpool's idea was to do more than just help them with reading and money. The teacher wants to help kids who are growing up in a home without a father like he did. “Also, I created the program in order to provide a positive mentor (指导者) for the kids that go into the barber shop, and are able to have someone that they can rely on and they can trust in, and just build a bond between the two of them.〞 Shalash says he and his fellow barbers like being mentors. “The biggest thing is that we try to influence as many kids as we can, and that was my whole intention of it.〞4．Why did Simon Vanderpool start Books and Barbers?A．To help children kill time.

Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made. Your future begins here. However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed(压垮) by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of other who have walked the college halls before you. The following you may find of use about life on campus.1.Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university, social and academic(学术的).

Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.3.Don’t miss the guidelines, restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/can’t you do in your student residence(住处)? Who has authority for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?4.Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this –you are paying thousands of dollars for courses. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.1. What is the main purpose of the passage?A.

课时规范训练(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·黑龙江大庆模拟)It is really a happy thing to look back on the days I spent with Jennie. We met in night school. After Jennie and I had completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred(同类的) spirits.“He's a difficult little character，” I explained.Jennie looked thoughtful.“Maybe you're only seeing him with your eyes.” She was silent for a moment and then added softly，“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.” I stared at her.“You're quoting (引用) that! It's from The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint­Exupery's book for children, one of my favorites. You know it, too？”Jennie nodded.“I love it.I've read it so often.I've practically memorized it.”Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book because Jennie—more than anyone I know—possessed the gift of seeing with the heart.From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn't that I didn't have an excellent relationship with my husband and son, but my mother had died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters.I realize, now，how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life—things that must be shared to be fully appreciated.And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourth­grade problem child.One_day_I_was_at_my_wit's_end.“What he needs is a good beating！” I shouted.“He's probably had plenty of those，” Jennie said.“Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day.” I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy.Looking back, I have to admit that she taught me so much. The days I spent with her have become one of my happiest memories.1．What does the underlined part mean in the fourth paragraph?A．I was unsure of how to deal with my son.B．I decided to give up my job.C．I faced financial difficulties.D．I was very disappointed with myself.2．How did the author and Jennie's friendship start to grow?A．They both were interested in children's education.B．They both liked a novel, The Little Prince.C．They often chatted together about their hobbies.D．They both studied in the same school.3．We learn from the text that ________.A．the author has the gift of seeing with the heartB．the author had many sisters before meeting JennieC．the author had lost her mother before her marriageD．the author seldom praised her son in the past4．The text is mainly about ________.A．how to control children properlyB．the fact that we should see nature differentlyC．the influence of friendship in lifeD．how friendship begins and disappears【语篇导读】文章讲述作者和珍妮因为《小王子》这本书而成为朋友，从此珍妮对作者的生活有了很大的影响。
