高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists (人类学家). Descriptions like "Palaeolithic (旧石器时代的) Man". "Neolithic (新石器时代的) Man",etc. neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label "Legless Man". Histories of the time will go something like this: "in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn't use their legs even when they went on holiday."The future history books might also record that we were deprived (剥夺) of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird's-eye view of the world. When you travel by car or train, an unclear picture of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, especially, are mixed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says "I've been there." You mention the remotest, and someone is bound to say "I've been there"-meaning, "I drove through it at100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else."When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.(1)Anthropologists label man nowadays "Legless Man" because _____.A. people prefer cars, buses and trainsB. people use their legs less and lessC. lifts prevent people from walkingD. people travel without using legs(2)According to the passage, what might make people lose the right of using their eyes?A. the modern means of transportation.B. A bird's-eye view of the world.C. The unclear sight from the vehicles.D. The fast-paced life style.(3)From the passage, we know traveling at high speeds means _______.A. appreciating beautiful sceneryB. experiencing life skillsC. focusing on the next destinationD. feeling physical tiredness(4)What does the author intend to tell us?A. Modern transportation devices have replaced legs.B. Traveling makes the world a small place.C. Human's history develops very fast.D. The best way to travel is on foot.【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)C(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,由于种种现代化交通设施,人们不需用脚走路,甚至也不需要用眼看风景,出门就坐汽车、公交车、地铁、飞机……汽车、飞机速度飞快,外边的景物难以看清,最终导致人们忘记用脚、用眼,成为“无脚之人”,一切都经历不到。

作者建议最佳的旅游方法是徒步——经历现实。

(1)考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的“When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label‘Legless Man’. Histories of the time will go something like this:"in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn't use their legs even when they went on holiday."可知,人类学家给人类贴上了“无腿人”的标签,因为人们使用腿越来越少了。

故选B。

(2)考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的“The future history books might also record that we were deprived (剥夺) of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird's-eye view of the world.” 可知,根据这篇文章,快节奏的生活方式会让人们失去使用眼睛的权利。

故选D。

(3)考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place.”可知,我们知道高速旅行意味着关注下一个目的地。

故选C。

(4)考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.”可知,旅行的最好方法是步行。
