【英语】高中英语阅读理解(人生百味)的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1.阅读理解Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you'll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child's day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的)to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them. I asked them what they'd seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.(1)According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more .A. anxious to do wondersB. sensitive to others' feelingsC. likely to develop unpleasant habitsD. eager to explore the world around them(2)What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.B. To stop complaining all the time.C. To follow the teacher's advice.D. To admit mistakes honestly.(3)The bird watchers' behavior shows that they .A. are very patient in their observationB. are really fascinated by natureC. care only about the names of birdsD. question the accuracy of the field guides(4)Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A. The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.B. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D. They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.(5)In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should .A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB. get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC. open our mind to new things and ideasD. try our best to protect nature【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)C(4)B(5)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,我们有多久没有仔细观察我们周围的世界了。
最新高考英语二轮复习专项训练阅读理解(人生百味)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1.阅读理解When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we're hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there's a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a "three-year degree" model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly "throw out" one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist "diluting (稀释)" the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education.A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it's not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.(1)Which of the following can best sum up the main idea?A.It's time to shorten the learning process.B.Best learning takes place over time.C.University education should be watered down.D.College education calls for reform.(2)We can learn from the passage that ________.A.most American universities are against the "three-year degree" modelB.many famous US universities are considering adopting the "three-year degree" modelC.professors are willing to accept the "three-year degree" modelD.The "three-year degree" model can make college learning more efficient(3)In most US universities, ________.A.college students are offered the co-op programB.electives' credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC.all students are required to finish four-year education before graduationD.some excellent students can graduate ahead of time(4)We can infer that________.A.the author is a college professor exploring ways to make learning more efficientB.the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC.the author considers the university education quality very importantD.the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students【答案】(1)B(2)A(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,作者认为把大学四年的学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意,保证足够的时间才能保证大学教育的质量。
【英语】高考英语二轮复习专项训练阅读理解(人生百味)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1.阅读理解We talk a lot in the U.S. about success. Success is the dream and the end point. And not by coincidence the idea that hard work leads to personal success is as American as apple pie.But the reality is that sometimes we fail. And sometimes things, through no fault of our own, don't go our way. We're faced with a life-changing diagnosis (诊断), the passing of a loved one or job loss. We don't, as a society, have as much to say here.I think uncertainty does us all harm. We'd feel better equipped to deal with uncertainty if we talked about it more. I had so fully bought into the belief that with enough effort, I could control what happened in my life. I actually caught myself thinking I could "work my way out" of my cancer. As it turns out, cancer doesn't really care about one's work.We might also make wiser decisions —this isn't just a feel-good exercise. For example, technology and medicine have progressed to the point that many patients are living longer than they would have even a decade ago. These are achievements worth celebrating. And yet I wonder if the focus on success is sometimes misguided here as well. If it is one reason why we tend to pursue expensive end-of-life treatments, they often accomplish little other than to make a patient's final days painful and frightening. The fact is that, when asked, many patients would rather focus on living meaningfully in their final days.My hope here is to make a case for thinking about meaning, in the same way we think about pursuing success. In that spirit, I've asked several people, each of whom has met misfortune, how they find meaning in their lives. The diversity in their responses reflects the fact that there are no right or wrong answers here. We each can find meaning in different things.(1)What is the typical American idea?A. Success is the dream.B. Success lies in hard work.C. Apple pie is the best food.D. Failure is always avoidable.(2)What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. Equipment.B. Culture.C. Uncertainty.D. Belief.(3)In their final days many patients actually want to______.A. live as long as possibleB. live a more meaningful lifeC. make great progress in medicineD. get expensive end-of-life treatments(4)What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The author thinks pursuing success is wrong.B. We can benefit from some unlucky things.C. We can find the same meaning in our life.D. Personally there are different meanings in life.【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)B(4)D【解析】【分析】短文大意:在美国人们经常谈论成功。

(英语)高考英语阅读理解( 人生百味 ) 试题经典含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1.阅读理解There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents,and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at , you can access lecturesby artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology,entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to "offer free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers," as the website puts it. The current version ofthe site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in2001. Since then,it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.TED, of course, isn't immune to criticism. It's been called elitist(精英 ) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It's been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference's host afterward.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED's website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.(1) What is the main topic of the article?(2) Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The TED conference came after the success of .B.Two TED conferences are now held every year.C.TED talks are available in many languages.D.The Sapling Foundation owns .(3) From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.A.it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be publishedB.the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakersC.TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerfulD.the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation(4) This author probably believes that________.A.TED is elitistB.TED is beneficialC.TED isn't importantD.TED is the best website【答案】( 1) D(2) A(3) C(4) B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了TED以及它的历史发展。
手惰市安逸阳光实验学校人生百味类阅读理解(2)2016高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.Men often discover their affinity (密切关系) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.A good book is often the best urn(瓮) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world ofa man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, if remembered and cherished, become our constant companions andcomforters.Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort.Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effects of time have been to filter out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.【小题1】A good book may be among the best of friends because_____.A.it changes over the past of timeB.it contains all kinds of knowledgeC.it doesn’t betray us when we are in troubleD.it comforts us in youth and instructs us in age【小题2】“Love me, love my book” in paragraph 3 probably means _______?A.If you love me, you must reading books.B.The book can be a bond between friends.C.I love books as much I love friends.D.If you love the author, you will love his books.【小题3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Time can tell whether a literature is good or bad.B.All books are our constant companions and comforters. C.Temples, statues and books cannot stand the test of time. D.The world of a man’s thoughts is what his life is all about.【小题4】The best title for this passage can be.A.Reading BooksB.A Good BookC.Our Best FriendD.Companionship of Books2016高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类I may not be the wisest person on this planet.but I will tell youa little secret to happiness:Help other,,and live life.It is that simple.Just help a friend study for a test,or volunteer at a nursing home .I learned this after a long,hard search.I was feeling really down because my long4ime friend had died.Then I started a six-week volunteering at a nursing home all day every Saturday.My routine was to serve the meal and clean up.After that,I would wait for the head nurse to tell me what to do.One day I was told to go to Room 117 to make sure the patient was all right.In the room I found a boy of eight sitting in his bed watching a movie.I was shocked to see a child in this seemingly forgotten nursing home for the old.He was so small and weak that you had to look closely to find him.He motioned for me to sit down.I grabbed his medical chart from which later I found out he had a terminal illness.We started to talk,and I found out that his family rarely visited,and all he did ever7 day was watch TV.I wanted to cry for him,and for my lost friend.As we talked,he had a smile on his face,and I asked him why."The entire two hours I've been here you've never lost that smile.With this horrible disease,how do you still manage to stay happy?"He thought for a moment,and then said that too many people are dead even before they die.They walk around feeling that God has cursed (诅咒) them and that they have nothing to live for.The boy said that he would not be like that.He wakes every morning thankful to see another sunrise.He keeps his window open so that he can smell the flowers and feel the heat of the sun.He also said that he has hope."Too many people haven't seen much of that around here," he said," Life is full of hope and we need to live life before it is gone."I don’t know what happened to him.I assume he passed away,but his lesson lives on.I now wake up and live each day to the fullest.The key to life is not money or fame,but the lessons we learn from it.【小题1】The nursing home in the passage is mainly for_______A.the elderly B.the homelessC.the disabled D.the abandoned【小题2】The boy stayed happy mainly due to_______.A.wonderful TV programsB.his positive attitudeC.good medical conditionD.others' encouragement【小题3】The writer participated in the volunteering job in orderto_______.A.find out the secretB.search for helpC.enrich experiencesD.get out of sadness【小题4】What would be the best title for the passage?A.A Lesson in HopeB.The Life of a Sick BoyC.A Voluntary JobD.The Meaning of Life阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

So I was overjoyed last year to hear that Bunnings was allowing dogs on a leash(皮带)- into their stores.But no sooner had the rule come in than it was quickly repealed(撤销). A little girl in Victoria had walked up to a Jack Russell in a store and been bitten(咬伤). That was it. No more dogs.I don't know the whole story. But here's what I have to say: dogs bite sometimes and kids are sometimes difficult to control.There is nothing I love more than a kid who wants to touch Jed. But what's even better is when they ask permission first.I was at my local dog park last week. It's huge, with an off-leash dog area to one side and a fenced-off kids' playground a good distance away. There was a family there that morning —parents and two young girls playing near the dog area. The elder girl started crying at the sight of Jed—" puppy! There a puppy! "Jed went right up and started licking(舔)her, which only made her cry louder.My dog was frightened and tried to get away. The little girl ran after him, shouting loudly. The parents did nothing; they just let their kid frighten my dog and then said I should have stopped him from licking her.While they had a choice to play elsewhere, I did not. So I had to walk Jed away."I just don't want to have to meet a dog when I go shopping," said one caller on a radio show yesterday. Look, I get that. But the thing is, I don't always want to have your kid kick the back of my seat for two hours on a plane.When I lived in the UK and the US, I couldn't walk through the stores without stopping to pat dogs. Why can't we follow their practice?(1)What do we know about Jed?A. He is a troublemaker.B. He means a lot to the author.C. He is the author's only friend.D.

I hadn’t been paying attention, and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit.“Can I see your license and registration?” the police officer asked me. I pulled both out for him, and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania driver’s license.“What are you doing here?” he asked. “Are you with the army?”“No, I’m not.” I answered. I explained that I had just moved to Virginia, and I hadn’t had time to r e-register yet.“So what brings you here?”He had asked a direct question. Without thinking very hard, I gave him a direct answer. “Well, officer,” I said, “since you’ve asked, I have cancer. I have just months to live. We’ve moved down here to be close to my wife’s family.”“So you’ve got cancer,” he said flatly. He was trying to figure me out. Was I really dying? Was I lying? He took a long look at me. “You know, for a guy who has only a few months to live, you sure look good.” He was obviousl y thinking: “Either this guy is pulling one big fat line on me, or he’s telling the truth.” He was trying to question my honesty without directly calling me a liar. And so he had forced me to prove that I was being honest.“Well, officer, I know that I loo k pretty healthy. I look great on the outside, but the tumors(肿瘤)are on the inside.” And then, I don’t know what possessed me, but I just did it. I pulled up my shirt, showing the operational scars.He looked at my scars. He looked in my eyes. He now knew he was talking to a dying man. Well, he wasn’t taking this any further. He handed me back my license. “Do me a favor.” he said, “Slow down from now on.” The awful truth had set me free. As he went back to his police car, I had a realization. I had been one of those gorgeous blondes (金发美女) who could bat her eyelashes and get out of tickets.

【英语】高考英语二轮复习专项训练阅读理解(人生百味)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1.阅读理解Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart. "When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive." He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support his opinion.When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones (荷尔蒙) including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body's main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight-or-flight response. However, when we are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.Researchers say the connection between stress and heart disease is still unclear. However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may have an unhealthy lifestyle, which can lead to health problems.Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish ... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects."Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health." And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone's heart health.(1)Which of the following agrees with Dr. Chockalingam's opinion?A.Smile has the same effects as laughter.B.Smile can be used to take the place of medicine.C.Smile is better than any healthy lifestyle to health.D.Smile can make our body produce beneficial chemicals.(2)What can we know about the mentioned stress hormones?A.They can lower our blood pressure.B.They will surely lead to heart diseases.C.They can benefit us when we are in danger.D.They will make us live an unhealthy lifestyle.(3)Why does Dr. Chockalingam think smiling is helpful to our health?A.It can make us relax.B.It increases sugar levels.C.It has little bad side effects.D.It can happen for no reason.(4)What can be the best title for the text?A.A Thorough Analysis of the Causes of Heart DiseasesB.One Thing You Can Do Right Now to Help Your HeartC.One Thing That Is Closely Connected with Stress HormonesD.The Clear Connection Between Unhealthy Lifestyles and Heart Diseases【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)A(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,哥伦比亚的心脏病专家Chockalingam博士建议多保持微笑,他认为微笑可能是帮助心脏的一种方式。

人生百味类阅读理解(2)2016高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.Men often discover their affinity (密切关系) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.A good book is often the best urn(瓮) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world ofa man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, if remembered and cherished, become our constant companions andcomforters. Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort.Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effects of time have been to filter out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.【小题1】A good book may be among the best of friends because_____.A.it changes over the past of timeB.it contains all kinds of knowledgeC.it doesn’t betray us when we are in troubleD.it comforts us in youth and instructs us in age【小题2】“Love me, love my book” in paragraph 3 probably means _______?A.If you love me, you must reading books.B.The book can be a bond between friends.C.I love books as much I love friends.D.If you love the author, you will love his books.【小题3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Time can tell whether a literature is good or bad.B.All books are our constant companions and comforters.C.Temples, statues and books cannot stand the test of time.D.The world of a man’s thoughts is what his life is all about.【小题4】The best title for this passage can be.A.Reading BooksB.A Good BookC.Our Best FriendD.Companionship of Books2016高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类I may not be the wisest person on this planet.but I will tell you a little secret to happiness:Help other,,and live life.It is that simple.Just help a friend study for a test,or volunteer at a nursing home .I learned this after a long,hard search.I was feeling really down because my long4ime friend had died.Then I starteda six-week volunteering at a nursing home all day every Saturday.My routine was to serve the meal and clean up.After that,I would wait for the head nurse to tell me what to do.One day I was told to go to Room 117 to make sure the patient was all right.In the room I found a boy of eight sitting in his bed watching a movie.I was shocked to see a child in this seemingly forgotten nursing home for the old.He was so small and weak that you had to look closely to find him.He motioned for me to sit down.I grabbed his medical chart from which later I found out he had a terminal illness. We started to talk,and I found out that his family rarely visited,and all he did ever7 day was watch TV.I wanted to cry for him,and for my lost friend.As we talked,he had a smile on his face,and I asked him why."The entire two hours I've been here you've never lost that smile.With this horrible disease,how do you still manage to stay happy?"He thought for a moment,and then said that too many people are dead even before they die.They walk around feeling that God has cursed (诅咒) them and that they have nothing to live for.The boy said that he would not be like that.He wakes every morning thankful to see another sunrise.He keeps his window open so that he can smell the flowers and feel the heat of the sun.He also said that he has hope."Too many people haven't seen much of that around here," he said," Life is full of hope and we need to live life before it is gone."I don’t know what happened to him.I assume he passed away,but his lesson lives on.I now wake up and live each day to the fullest.The key to life is not money or fame,but the lessons we learn from it.【小题1】The nursing home in the passage is mainly for_______A.the elderly B.the homelessC.the disabled D.the abandoned【小题2】The boy stayed happy mainly due to_______.A.wonderful TV programsB.his positive attitudeC.good medical conditionD.others' encouragement【小题3】The writer participated in the volunteering job in order to_______.A.find out the secretB.search for helpC.enrich experiencesD.get out of sadness【小题4】What would be the best title for the passage?A.A Lesson in HopeB.The Life of a Sick BoyC.A Voluntary JobD.The Meaning of Life阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
