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。

（英语）高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超导体技术).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269℃ with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at -243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new technology.（1）As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity ____________. A. has already been developed B. is still under developmentC. will be used only in specialized equipmentD. will be used in daily lives in a few years（2）The new technology differs from the others in that ____________.A. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the worldB. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the worldC. it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldD. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich（3）From the passage, we may conclude that ____________.A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technologyB. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 yearsC. IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over the worldD. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Prospect of a New TechnologyB. Superconductivity: A New TechnologyC. A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesD. A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了超导体技术的发展潜能和发展状况。

高一年级英语阅读理解专项训练（含答案）（7篇）一、完型填空1．This year my husband and I decided to have a quiet, low-key New Year's Eve. We wanted to spend it with our kids and other immediate family and make it a special 1 for them, instead of 2 a babysitter and going out on our own. The logical way to do this was through 3 . As we all know, food had a magical way of making; a night 4 , and our New Year's Eve certainly 5 that way, thanks to doughnuts(甜甜圈).I decided to make doughnuts because my cousins had 6 a batch(一批) on Halloween and I found it very 7 . I used a recipe from the 1976 Mennonite cookbook More With Less and it 8 a curious ingredient---two cups of mashed potatoes that 9 made the texture lighter. 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. Whether we host a bigger party or keep it small, there will always be 15 doughnuts, because when you have hot homemade doughnuts, you can't help but have the best time.1．A．challenge B．idea C．opportunity D．occasion 2．A．training B．hiring C．knowing D．interviewing 3．A．time B．money C．food D．fun4．A．short B．memorable C．messy D．silent 5．A．tested out B．moved on C．tuned out D．picked out 6．A．put B．bought C．brought D．made 7．A．impressive B．expensive C．healthy D．nutritious 8．A．took up B．carried on C．called for D．cut off 9．A．fortunately B．possibly C．totally D．absolutely 10．A．rolled out B．taken apart C．sorted out D．cut down 11．A．steam B．cook C．sink D．float 12．A．finished B．practiced C．considered D．demanded 13．A．prepared B．waited C．enjoyed D．longed 14．A．celebration B．idea C．ceremony D．tradition 15．A．fresh B．raw C．common D．local【答案】1．D2．B3．C4．B5．C6．D7．A8．C9．B10．A11．B12．A13．C14．D15．A2．Dear girls,The dream itself comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing.

My grandmother, my mother and I were having lunch at a restaurant. I 1 a Salisbury steak. But when served, it was 2 accompanied by a plate of peas.I have always hated peas. It is a complete 3 to me why anyone would voluntarily eat peas. “Eat your peas,” my grandmother said.“Mother,” said my mother in her 4 voice. “He doesn’t like peas. Leave him alone.”My grandmother looked at me and said the words that changed my life: “I’ll pay you five dollars 5 you eat those peas”. Five dollars!

Even those small acts of kind ness can make a difference in someone’ day. That was just the case for Amie Mickey when she 1 a bumper sticker (车尾贴) on her car reading: You Matter.Amie started to do this several years ago. At first, she wondered if people would 2 it. 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, bu t 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. Small as they seem, they can make a 15 impact on the world, and help form general goodness.1．A．put up B．picked up C．fixed up D．tore up 2．A．watch B．overlook C．notice D．ignore 3．A．strangers B．passers-by C．attention D．confusion 4．A．running B．driving C．walking D．riding 5．A．voices B．thumbs C．shoulders D．hats6．A．count B．share C．matter D．value 7．A．frightened B．discouraged C．embarrassed D．disappointed 8．A．parking B．speed C．event D．incident 9．A．blocked B．approached C．repaired D．cleaned 10．A．special B．important C．typical D．skeptical 11．A．occurred B．happened C．managed D．offered12．A．shock B．delight C．inspire D．satisfy 13．A．spirits B．thoughts C．feelings D．minds 14．A．work B．exercise C．conduct D．behave 15．A．reliable B．subjective C．positive D．brief【答案】1．A2．C3．C4．B5．B6．C7．A8．D9．B10．A11．B12．C13．A14．D15．C5．One day, a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited worriedly at their desks for the test to begin. The professor 1 the question papers, with the paper facing down as usual. After he gave them all out, he asked his students to 2 the paper and begin. To everyone's surprise, there were no 3 , just a black dot in the center of the page.

【英语】高一英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Money is the root of all evil (邪恶) and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》).They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive ears ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving mow modest cars.In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher — class families were more likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings. Finally, it just makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self- interest,” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts（本能）and values in different ways.（1）By saying “money is the root of all evil”, the author wants to .A. link wealth with bad behaviorB. draw readers' attention to the researchC. show how the saying proves the findingsD. defend rich people who do immoral things （2）According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?A. They welcome risks.B. They have more desires.C. They believe money talks.D. They become more selfish.（3）Why did the scientists do the experiments?A. To show how social status affects people's morality.B. To show people's instincts and values in different ways.C. To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.D. To show the difference between higher - class people and lower - class people.（4）What does the passage really want to show us?A. The poor are respectable.B. Money is the root of all evil.C. All rich people are untrustworthy.D. The rich are more likely to act badly.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者主要通过展示几个实验的结果，旨在证明"金钱是一切罪恶的根源"这一说法可能是有一定道理的。

高中英语阅读理解专题训练1【The spider】In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The ―spider story‖ is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web(蜘蛛织网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?Second, is the goal(目标)you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about his question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?”This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to ―live with yourself‖ even though you may have failed. Remember, ―You can't win them all.‖1.This passage deals with two sides of failure. In paragraph 1,the author talks mainly about ______ .A.the value of failurB.how people would failC.famous failuresD.the cause of failure2.The underlined phrase“made it”means ______ .A.succeededB.failedC.gaveD.got3.The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems ______ .A.productiveB.straight forwardC.sorrowfulD.deep4.The author tells you to do all things except ______ .A.The think about the cause of your failureB.to check out whether your goals are right for youC.to consider failure as a part or lifeD.to bear in mind that you will never fail in your life5.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Bruce and Edison were successful examples.B.Failure may be regarded as a way toward success.C.Edison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce.D.One may often raise a question whether his goals are worth attempting.答案：AADDC。

All of them, with no 7 , described the black dot, trying to explain its 8 in the middle of the sheet, etc. After all had been 9 , the classroom was silent, and the professor began to 10 :"I' m not going to grade this 11 wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the 12 part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot, and the same happens in our 13 . We have a white paper to observe, but we always focus on the dark spots.

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-cookmeals 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 home­cooked 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．developing 15．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．D6．In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory 1 course about 20 years ago.The professor 2 the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans(豆), and invited the students to 3 how many beans the jar contained. After 4 shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile, announced the 5 answer, and went on saying, “You have just 6 an important lesson about science. That is: Never 7 your own senses.”Twenty years later，the 8 could guess what the professor had in mind. He 9 himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting 10 into an unknown world invisible to the 11 ， which can be discovered only through scientific 12 . But the seventeen－year－old girl could not accept or even 13 the invitation. She was just 14 to understand the world.And she 15 that her first－hand experience could be the 16 . The professor, however, said that it was 17 .

高中英语阅读理解专项训练100及答案一、高考英语阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解It's no surprise to hear the honking of horns in New York. Whoever tries every day to get more than a few minutes of sleep in the morning in the city will tell you that he could do nothing about it! No one can deny honking of horns is just one of his most widely enjoyed pastimes.But Andy, a Japanese website developer has had enough of it. Once, the 27-year-old man approached the open window to wait for the driver to finish honking, delivered a polite "excuse me" and then yelled "Ho-o-o-o-onk!", which means fierce anger in Japan. Then he threw three eggs from the window of his apartment on to a passing car honking loudly below when his patience was worn out. Instead of apologizing to him, the driver threatened to kill him angrily. So, nobly, Andy turned to non-violence. He started writing anti-honking haiku verses, a form of Japanese poetry, and submitted them to local newspapers:Oh. forget Enron;The problem around here is; All the damn honking (Enron: a major American company that recently caused a scandal because of corrupt(腐败) mismanagement)"Then this kind of chain reaction started happening," Andy says. "All these other haiku started appearing unexpectedly" Andy's community is now covered in anti - honking poetry, written by all walks of life.Patience slowly fades;Residents store up their eggs; That day is coming soon.It's understandable that Andy has set up a website — — and now people from across the country send him news of their own anti - honking activities. It seems that poetry can change the world after all. Then, just recently, anti-anti- honking haiku started to appear, launched by locals who thought Andy should stop worrying about honking and start worrying about starving children, or war in the Middle East instead. Andy has an answer for that. "Stop me if this is too ridiculous," he says, "but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it's a force of nature, like it's beyond our control. But actually it's kind of like the honking - the violence is man -made. If we can figure out how to stop honking on the streets, I think we could learn some things that we could use on a large scale."（1）What does the first paragraph intend to tell us about New Yorkers?A. They enjoy listening to the honking of horns.B. Their life has been affected by the honking noise.C. They get accustomed to sleeping late in the morning.D. They have formed a habit of honking while driving.（2）What is Andy's final reaction to the frequent honking of horns?A. Pretended to ignore it.B. Screamed at the driver.C. Acted in a peaceful way.D. Complained to the government.（3）According to the passage, most New Yorkers think Andy's response is______.A. acceptableB. pointlessC. sensitiveD. abnormal（4）Facing the criticism of his anti-honking campaign, Andy notes that______.A. if not handled well, honking will cause serious problems like starvationB. fierce violence in the Middle East is more of an issue worthy of concernC. violence in the world as well as honking on the street is under our controlD. finding the solution to anti - honking is as meaningful as that to starvation【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了纽约的汽车喇叭声严重影响了人们的生活，一个日本人对此做出了很大的挣扎，从激烈对抗到写打油诗的非暴力反抗，以及纽约当地人对此的反映。

高中英语阅读理解练习题1【LONDON】LONDON----A morning‘s train ride away, across the Channel, English kids talk about Liverpool‘s soccer team in a Paris pub.Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival(竞争的) cities, London and Paris, in‖ A Tale of Two Cities.‖ These days, it might be A Tale of One City.Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor‘s broken French and respond in polite English.As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.―For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,‖ said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees.‖ I am French, but I‘ll stay in London,‖ she said.There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ag o.‖ I think people laugh more in Paris,‖ she said.In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities,are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.―Both cities have changed beyond recognition.‖ said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably. ―I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wo nderful place,‖ Collins said. ―But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.‖But certainly not cheaper.In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.

【英语】高一英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Three boys were enjoying themselves in their hometown of Bovina, Mississippi .However, their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齿乳象).Brothers Shawn and Caid Sellers and cousin Michael Mahalitc found the prehistoric bone in a piece of earth that was recently plowed (犁、耕)."I thought it was a log," Caid said. "I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it." The bone weighed about 50 pounds. They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone."They didn't expect to find that," Michael's mom said. "Now that they have, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what they're digging up when they are digging and playing.""We've gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and that's what I thought it was," the brothers' mother said. "This is our first set of teeth we've found. So we thought it was their imagination. We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination."They were exploring near the brothers' home. Lo and behold (真想不到), they saw what they thought resembled a fossil. It was the curator of paleontology (古生物负责人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a "very mature individual."The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric times. They had long tusks and trunks, like elephants. They were clearly different from their modern-day counterparts, as well as woolly mammoths (猛犸).（1）How did they find the jawbone of a Mastodon?A.

Through imagination.（2）At first the brothers' mother thought the jawbone was .A. from people who died in the Civil WarB. the bone from a very mature individualC. like a log or somethingD. the prehistoric bone（3）The discovery of the jawbone of a Mastodon is important mainly because it .A. helps people to know more about the Civil WarB. teaches kids to be more aware of their surroundingsC. promotes the research on more prehistoric creaturesD. attracts the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the article?A.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across. but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day.1．According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills?A．Reading and listening.B．Reading and writing.C．Writing and speaking.D．Speaking and listening.2．To improve your reading, when you read you should ________.A．look up all the new words in the dictionaryB．think about what you are reading activelyC．spend more time studying grammarsD．copy as many words and sentences as possible3．The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇Drrinnggg! That’s the sound that kids all over the country hate to hear-the alarm bell. The new school year has just started and children across the UK have to wake up early in the morning to go to school.But students at one school in northeast England are lucky. They can lie in bed for an extra(额外的)hour before they go to school. Monkseaton High School has been allowing its pupils to come into school an hour later than other schools.The headmaster, Dr Paul Kelley, says that this new approach(方式) helps students pay more attention to their lessons in class. He feels that young people are more energetic and can perform better for the rest of the day. And he adds that for their school students, a late start at school may be better than an early one.Dr Kelley tells the BBC that teenagers don’t perform very well in the morning and their need to sleep is biological(生物的). It seems that this new approach to teaching shows positive(积极的) results. The number of students who sleep in class drops quickly. Besides, the school has already seen a drop in the number of pupils who play truant(逃学) by 27%. More importantly, Dr Kelley also says that exam results have improved by 20%-30% over the past year.Classes at Monkseaton High School begin at 10 a.m. and finish at 3:40 p.m. However, the school opens from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The students can come early and leave late if they want.1．What is this passage?A．A news report. B．A speech.C．A story. D．A notice.2．What is Dr. Paul Kelley’s opinion of the new appro ach?A．He gives no opinions about it.B．He has his doubts about it.C．He disagrees with it.D．He agrees with it.3．Which is NOT the positive result about the new approach?A．The exam results have improved.B．Fewer and fewer students sleep in class.C．Most students get to school earlier.D．The number of pupils who play truant drops.4．When do classes usually begin in schools in the UK according to the passage?A．At 8:00 a.m. B．At 9:00 a.m.C．At 10:00 a.m. D．At 11:00 a.m.【答案】1．A3．C4．B【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.First of all, always check and double－check departure (启程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten, my secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local cash with you when you arrive in a country. Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money！” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing.The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.1．According to the passage, the driver was angry because the writer ________.A．did not give him the local moneyB．gave him false moneyC．offered to pay by credit cardD．had no enough change2．Generally, in May the weather in London is ________.A．warm and dry B．cold and dryC．hot and wet D．cool and rainy3．The writer mainly tells us ________.A．how to plan our tripB．how to enjoy ourselves on tripC．how to make life easierD．how to be well prepared for a trip【答案】1．A2．D3．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。
