（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）及解析（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled wit h this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.（1）If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship（2）When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in （3）According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.（4）What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文，我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。

（英语）英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解If you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple — eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory — where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in theUS conducted a series of experiments to examine food's role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV — where someone pretending to be a member ofthe public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble (咬), whilethe TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the productif the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions (交易) from the start.”Harley Street psychologist Dr. Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground andcan trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successfu l.”（1）According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who ______.A. has the same taste as themB. advertises his products on TVC. reduces the price of his productsD. pays attention to the quality of his products（2）The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ______.A. food plays an important role in earning people's trustB. bosses like employees that havethe same taste as themC. people who have similar tastes to their boss's earn moreD. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV（3）What can be inferred from the passage?A. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.B. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn't been proved by researchers.D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.（4）Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. All good things come to an end.C. Birds of a feather flock together.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.【答案】（1）A（2）A（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了相似吸引理论在食物上也成立，芝加哥大学研究人员进行的实验表明食物对人的信任起着重要的作用。

英语阅读理解专项练习题【7篇】ln the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others.Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning （按喇叭） or even shouting at me.At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years ofdriving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood.Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pas s.They couldn’t get aro und me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are few and far often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we’re brave when we’re scared.（）1.The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ________.A．they offer their helpB．they receive others’ helpC．they feel others’ kindnessD．they show their weakness（）2.The author feels sad sometimes because ________.A．he has a soft heartB．he relies much on othersC．some people pretend to be kindD．some people fail to see the kindness in others （）3.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A．They speeded up to pass.B．They waited with patience.C．They tried their best to help.D．They put on their flashlights too.（）4.In this passage, the author advises us to ________. A．handle problems by ourselvesB．accept help from othersC．admit our weaknessD．show our bravery（）5.Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A．A Wheelchair Experience.B．Weakness and Kindness.C．Weakness and Strength.D．A Driving Experience.英语阅读理解练习（附答案篇三Text 篇四Text 篇六In the mid1950s, I was a somewhat bored earlyadolescent male student who believed that doing_any_more_than_necessary_was_wasted_effort.

英语阅读理解专项练习篇一When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try tokeep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still r espect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.By Jack根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-“Fail again. Fail better.”It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success,a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.However,psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words,we fail to“fail forward”.We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed,and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals.This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”,which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.Sjastad explains that“sour-grape effect”is a self-protective mechanism.“Most of us picture ourselves as competent people,so when external feedback(反馈)suggests otherwise,it poses a serious threat to that self-image,”he says.“The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal,so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self.We do this even without noticing.”If you have one bad interview for your dream job,you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all,and stop applying for similar positions.The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial,or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript(手稿).“We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our‘Plan C’is actuallysomething“stupid”.If they do,it is probably because they don’t really understand it themselves, or they have something to hide.In that sense,you learn something useful either way. 13．Why does the author mention her encounter with Martin?A．To describe a journalist’s work pressure.B．To show the benefits of asking questions.C．To present the best way to solve problems.D．To introduce an economics reporter’s routine.14．What does the author mean by saying“this is a dying art”?A．Fewer people tend to raise questions.B．Few valuable questions are put forward.C．People don’t know how to ask questions properly.D．People don’t feel ashamed of asking silly questions.15．What does the2021study suggest?A．People usually pretend to be knowledgeable.B．Fake and real concepts are hard to distinguish.C．People shouldn’t believe others’words too quickly.D．Fear of asking questions leads to bad consequences.16．Which section of a website is this text most likely from?A．Technology.B．Opinion.C．Friendship.D．Culture.（5）Do you remember when Nelson Mandela died?In the1980s?In the1990s?The answer is in 2013.The political figure was in prison from1964to1990before receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in1993and being elected president in1994.However,many people incorrectly remember him dying in prison in the1980s,which is how the Mandela effect gets its name.The Mandela effect is a phenomenon where a large number of people believe something happened,when in reality,it did not.For example,many people misremember details such as the color of a snack packet or the name of a TV show.A2020memory study found that76%of adults made at least one detectable error when asked to recall information,demonstrating that memory is not accurate.“The Mandela effect seems to be closely related to a number of well-known memory phenomena,”said Tim Hollins,a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Plymouth in the U.K.He named three similar types of memory-related phenomena:“false memory,”which is the creation of a memory that didn’t happen;“source-memory errors,”which is when someone forgets the true source of a memory;and“imagination inflation(膨胀),”which is the tendency to believe something is real when it is often or vividly imagined.However,Hollins believes the phenomenon that is most closely connected to the Mandela effect is that of“gist memory,”which is when someone has a general idea of something but can’t necessarily remember the specifics.A common example relates to the monkey called Curious George,a children’s book character that first appeared in the1940s,and his lack of a tail.“Remembering Curious George as having a tail just reflects the fact that most monkeys have tails,”Hollins said.“If you just remember the gist-it’s a monkey-why wouldn’t you remember him having a tail?”17．What contributes to the name of the Mandela effect?A．Mandela passed away in the prison.B．Mandela received the Nobel Peace Prize.C．Mandela’s death was wrongly remembered.D．Mandela’s political ideas were well-received.18．What does Paragraph3mainly talk about?A．Experiments related to memory phenomena.B．Psychological causes for the Mandela effect.C．Memory problems leading to the Mandela effect.D．Scientific explanation of memory-related problems.19．What can we learn about our memory from the text?A．It is not as reliable as we think.B．It can be improved through efforts.C．Memories of details do not last long.D．Imagination helps strengthen memory.20．Which is a phenomenon of“gist memory”according to the text?A．Imagining something that didn’t exist.B．Recalling every word of a conversation.C．Just preserving the memory of pleasant things.D．Remembering only key features of something.参考答案：1．C2．B3．D4．A【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

（英语）高考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Two of the saddest words in the English language are "if only". I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, "Take the extra minute to do it right." I always try to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only" moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don't only avoid those "if only" moments when it comes to safety. It's equally important to avoid "if only" in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say "I love you" or "I forgive you." When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here. But then I thought about the fact that he's 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say "if only" about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.（1）Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute" rule?A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.（2）The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.A.keep her appointment with the eye doctorB.meet her father who was already an old manC.join in the holiday celebration of the companyD.finish her work before the deadline approached（3）The underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.A.abandonedckedC.avoidedD.taken（4）What is the best title for the passage?A.To Keep Emotional Well-beingB.To Prevent "If Only" MomentsC.To Follow the Most Useful RuleD.To Achieve the Peace of Mind【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者认为英语中最悲伤的两个词语是"if only"，因为他们表达了遗憾。

（英语）高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven't given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. "It's a silent extinction," said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist."The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places," said Hennessy, "as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence." You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece.Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids' books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies (亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of "least concern" but two subspecies as "endangered". "It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information," Hennessy says. "And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after." He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become.（1）By saying "It's a silent extinction", Hennessy tells us that ______.A. giraffes are unpopular in AfricaB. the giraffe is always silent in daily lifeC. the ecology of Africa needs more attentionD. the extinction occurs without enough attention（2）What has caused the high price of giraffe meat in Tanzania?A. The country's custom.B. The illegal international trade.C. The cost of hunting a giraffe.D. The idea that it's a cure for AIDS.（3）The misconception in Para. 3 can be corrected by ______.A. preventing illegal hunting in AfricaB. rewriting kids' books about giraffesC. providing reliable data about giraffesD. spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS（4）The final purpose of Hennessy's great effort is to ______.A. collect more information about giraffesB. raise public awareness of protecting giraffesC. prove giraffes will disappear in the next few yearsD. work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature【答案】（1）D（2）D（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了长颈鹿濒临灭绝的原因，并指出提供准确的数据，提高人们的保护意识至关重要。

I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping.

They were asked to get a good nights sleep for two nights.A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night fortwo nights in a row.The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after boththe good and the bad sleep.Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价)them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: Howmuch would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at wastired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.The strangers also said they wouldnt want to socialize with the tiredstudents. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-lookingface makes people run away. In other words, people dont want to hang aroundwith people whomight be ill.Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said Judgement ofattractiveness is often unconscious (无意识的), hut we all do it, and we are able tojudge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy.This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us.35.

From usingyour language skills to dotranslations，to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work，thereis so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countriesand across the world. The UnitedNations，in fact，has a huge page withVolunteers Recruited on its website.

What can be the best title for the passage?A. Website DesignB. Internet OrganizationsC. Online VolunteeringD. Online Translation英语阅读理解篇20Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. The worlds environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss. If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog(烟雾)to global climate change, from the felling(砍伐)of forests to the extinction of species. The list would largely be accurate, the concern legitimate. Yet the students who should be giventhe highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad. After all, the worlds population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 , the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous.But they dont. The reasons why they dont, and why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, technological innovation, social change and government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why todays environmental problems in the poor countries ought, in principle, to be solvable.Raw materials have not run out, and show no sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet is a finite place. Yet it is also very big, and man is very ingenious. What has happened is that every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the materials, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason prices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real termsduring the century. The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate, in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop technology. The long-term trend has been downwards.。

英语阅读理解专项练习题及答案篇三British newspapers are much smaller than they used to be and their readers are often in a hurry ,so newspapermen write as few words as possible .They tell their readers at once what happened ,where ,when and how it happened and what was the result : how many people were killed ,what change was done and so on .Readers want the fact(事实) set out as fully and accurately as possible .Readers are also interested in the people who have seen the accident. So a newspaperman always likes to get some information (信息)from someone who was there, which can be given in the person’s own words .Because he can use only a few words ,the newspaperman must choose those words carefully ,every one must be effective(有效). Instead of “he called out in a loud voice”, he writes” he shouted”; instead of “the loose stones rolled noisily down the side of the mountain”, he will write” they thundered down the mountainside”。
