（英语）高三英语阅读理解(人物故事)及其解题技巧及练习题(含答案)

一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类

1．阅读理解

On a recent trip to the island of Newfoundland, Canada, my husband asked our talkative cab

driver what made him most proud to be from there.

"Our generosity and hospitality (好客)," he replied in a strong local accent. "Your car breaks

down in the middle of nowhere, someone will stop to help. People here are kind like that."

His answer lingered in my mind during that ride with my husband and teenage kids, as we

headed out to explore on the first day of our vacation.

Little did I know we were about to experience some of that remarkable Newfoundland

kindness for ourselves.

We met Alma that same morning at the start of a long hike.

Our teenagers hurried ahead, and as we walked behind, admiring the scenery, two women in

sunglasses and summer hiking gear stopped.

They'd heard us discussing different routes, then asked if we'd like suggestions.

They looked to be in their 40s, and were both enthusiastic to share their local expertise.

We listened eagerly, taking mental notes, until one of the women asked, "You have a car,

right?"

I explained that there were no cars available during our week on the island, so we had to rely

on cabs instead.

"Oh no," she said, "you need a car." And then, as casually as if offering a piece of chewing gum

(口香糖), she said: "Take mine!"

Dumbfounded, my husband and I just smiled in disbelief.

"Why not?" She insisted. "You need a car to get to know all these places."

"But you don't even know us," I said.

"That doesn't matter," she continued with absolute determination.

Stunned, I looked over at her friend, who shrugged and said, "That's Alma."

Forty minutes of talking later, my family climbed into Alma's car.

We spent the rest of our vacation discovering different areas of this beautiful island.

But it wasn't the groups of whales we saw, or the vast areas of woodland, that made this place

so memorable.

Instead, it was the act of kindness from a complete stranger that made us realize how special

Newfoundland really was.

Next year, there's no doubt where we'll be taking our summer vacation. Who knows what act

of kindness we'll meet then?

【答案】 （1）D

（2）A

（3）D

（4）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者最近一次去加拿大的纽芬兰旅行时，被当地人的热情好客深深触动。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第十段中的“I explained that there were no cars available during our

week on the island, so we had to rely on cabs instead.”我解释道，我们周末来岛上度假没有汽车，我们只能打出租车，可知，作者一家人在纽芬兰岛上旅行时遇到的问题是，他们没有一辆车。故选D。

（2）考查词义猜测。根据第十二段中的“my husband and I just smiled in disbelief”我丈夫和我只是不相信地笑着，可知，当Alma提出让作者一家开自己的车去旅行的时候，作者和丈夫很惊诧。并且此处单词与第十六段中的“stunned”呼应。故选A。

（3）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“Instead, it was the act of kindness from a

complete stranger that made us realize how special Newfoundland really was.”取而代之，是一个陌生人的善意之举让我意识到纽芬兰的真正特别之处。可知，给作者留下最深刻印象的是来自一位热心的陌生人的帮助。故选D。

（4）考查推理判断。纵观全文可知，陌生人的善良和热情好客给作者留下了最深刻印象，且根据最后一段“Next year, there's no doubt where we'll be taking our summer vacation.

Who knows what act of kindness we'll meet then?”毫无疑问我们明年会去哪里过暑假。谁知道到时候我们又会遇到什么样的善意之举呢？可知，作者将还会去纽芬兰岛旅行，期待那里人们的热情。故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。

Even if you've never been to Phoenix, you know this about the place It's hot. From June to

September, the temperature can easily surpass the century mark. But that doesn't stop hikers

from attempting the 1.3-mile hiking to the top of the city's famed Camelback Mountain. Signs

warn that the trail is "extremely difficult". If you continue, a posted checklist suggests at least a

liter of water per person. And if you're still not stopped, another sign farther up declares: "If

you're halfway through your water, turn around!"

Unfortunately, many people to not take the warnings seriously. Fortunate y, Scott Cullymore
