英语阅读理解(人物故事)练习题含答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解Russ Gremel, now 98 years old, decided it was time to donate $2 million to the Illinois Audubon Society, a charity to purchase nearly 400 acres of land for wildlife protection. Gremel was able to make this amazing donation because he purchased $1,000 worth of Walgreens stock seven decades ago whose value has grown recently."A single man with no kids, Gremel has lived in the same Chicago house for 95 years, and has always lived simply", neighbor Patrick Falso told TODAY. Falso said he heard Gremel say many times the "money wasn't mine to begin with" and that he always intended to give it away.The Gremel Wildlife shelter was founded on June 4. Illinois Audubon Society president Jim Herkert said Gremel's donation was extremely generous. "It's allowing us to protect a really valuable and important possession and realize one of Gremel's wishes that we could find a place where people could come out and experience nature the way he did as a kid," Herkert told TODAY.After doing all this, this past weekend, Gremel adopted an old Chihuahua(吉娃娃犬). Winnie the dog was picked up as a homeless dog several months ago. She suffered from a kind of cancer, which was treated—and all she needed was a loving home, which Colleen Collins, the founder of Perfect Pooches Adoption Agency, was determined to find.Gremel had lost his own beloved Chihuahua earlier this year. When he reached out to Collins about Winnie, she felt this could be a good match. That feeling grew when she brought Winnie to his house for a meet and greet, and Winnie was introduced not only to Gremel but also some of his friends and neighbors. One had brought over a lot of fresh strawberries; all said they'd be there to help out in any way needed.(1)Patrick Falso is mentioned in the text mainly to explain _________.A. how Gremel earned the moneyB. what kind of person Gremel isC. why Gremel made the donationD. where Gremel has been living(2)What can we learn about Russ Gremel from the text?A. He raised many pet dogs in his life.B. He bought Walgreens stock at age 28.C. He adopted a young Chihuahua recently.D. He volunteered in wildlife shelters regularly.(3)What can we infer about Gremel's neighbors from the text?A. They live in harmony with animals.B. They are impressed with dog Winnie.C. They lead a healthy and wealthy life.D. They are caring and kind to each other.【答案】(1)C(2)B(3)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,格雷梅尔是一个没有孩子的单身男人,他在芝加哥同一所房子里住了95年,一直过着简朴的生活。
阅读理解专练(一) 人物与故事(限时20分钟)A(2018·安徽江淮十校联考)It was dawn of March 21, 2018.Gary Messina was on his morning run along New York City's East River.Suddenly something caught his eye —a large 60yearold man balancing on the fourfoothigh fence that guarded the path from the water.As Messina got closer to the scene, the man took a step forward and slipped into the dark river below.When Messina reached nearer, the man was struggling in the water, clearly unable to swim.Other joggers also heard the man's cry.David Blauzvern and John Green dropped their phones and keys on land and jumped in.“People had called the police, but it was unclear when they'd get there,”says Green.“We just reacted.”Messina joined them in the river.Just as the jumper was losing strength, Blauzvern took hold of him.The pair were about 30 yards from the seawall when Messina and Green caught up to him.They seized the man, with Blauzvern supporting his back and Messina and Green holding him up from either side.As the men made their way toward the concrete seawall that stretched for blocks in each direction, Blauzvern had an awful realization: there was no way out of the river.By now, a crowd had gathered on land.“A rescue boat is on its way,”someone yelled to them.Swimming forward was getting tougher by the minute.The jumper, who was six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds, was heavy in his rescuers' arms.After ten minutes, they managed to get to the river's edge.“I've never been so out of breath,”says Blauzvern.Fifteen minutes after the men had jumped into the river, the twoman rescue boat appeared.But because it couldn't risk getting too close to the seawall, the men had to swim out to it.“I was completely out of energy at this point,”says Blauzvern.The men in the water pushed the jumper while the men in the boat pulled him up and, finally, to safety.The man they had saved was taken to the hospital for evaluation (评估).Details on his condition have not been released.As for the rescuers, each of them was at work by 10:30 a.m.“I was a bit late,”admits Blauzvern, smiling.“But I had a goodexcuse.”语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了一场路人勇救落水者的故事。
英语阅读理解(人物故事)练习题20篇及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.Directions: Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.When she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging.But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel —something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her.It's no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as "The Mother of Dance," with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life.In her autobiography (自传), one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasn't constantly watched. The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open-ended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do.Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that she was either completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasn't one moment Duncan doubted her own genius.There is an old quotation "if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance.(1)What does the underlined phrase "treat troubles as fuel" mean?A.Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream.B.Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles.C.Troubles turned Duncan into a confident girl.D.Troubles lit the fire of dancing in Duncan.(2)Which of the following is TRUE about Duncan?A.Her experience in New York was the foundation of her career.B.Her teaching job when she was little destroyed her confidence.C.Her dancing style was not very well received at the beginning.D.Her mother set higher expectation on her than she could bear.(3)What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph?A.It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish.B.Everybody is a genius in his own way.C.Miseries come from human stupidity.D.Teachers can impact students greatly.(4)What is this passage mainly about?A.Isadora Duncan's childhood and her achievements today.B.Duncan's career development and other dancers' opinions of her.C.Isadora Duncan's early experiences and the reasons for her success.D.Duncan's high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)B(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,伊莎多拉·邓肯十岁时辍学去教别人跳舞,作者讲述了她的早期的经历以及其取得成功的原因。
阅读理解(人物故事)练习题含答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we didn't always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children's Library. My 18-imonth-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people don't understand-a library is more than books; it's a community.Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. But it was also the place where I got my first email address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled(咯咯笑)too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasn't a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered me my first teaching job.I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually(虚拟地)visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources.

She has access to a reliable car now.C. She can meet friends at the library.D. She lives close to libraries.(2)What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.

高中英语阅读理解(人物故事)解题技巧及练习题及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解Three months after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Rebecca Sell, then 24, a photojournalist for Fredericksburg photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining water-spotted photo albums. As she took the photo, something within her clicked. "I told them I could take the ruined pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修复) photos," she recalls. Although a bit sceptical, the couple agreed. Rebecca took their photos home, restored them and took them to the couple at their temporary home. "It felt so good to be able to do that for them," says Rebecca. When her editor, Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore damaged photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with paid time off from the paper, the two set up shop in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the community newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair took a new digital picture, then used high-tech software to erase water spots and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website linked to Dave's blog about the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue, as it came to be known, had emails from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help.Though digital restoration is a painstaking process, mending irreplaceable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out piles of ruined photo albums after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldn't bear to part with a few treasured pictures, including a portrait of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. "I didn't have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did," Emily says. "Almost every day I think about all the pictures I've lost. I'm so happy to have these two."In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures ruined by floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Volunteers make "copy runs" to disaster areas across the country to gather damaged photos from survivors; operating costs are covered by donations. "It's great to be able to give people some of their history back," says Rebecca. "One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away. Moments like that remind me why I do this."(1)When Rebecca took the picture of the New Orleans couple, she decided to .A. take them to their temporary homeB. help with their damaged photosC. set up shop in Pass ChristianD. cover Hurricane Katrina(2)From Paragraph 2, we know that Dave and Rebecca .A. quit their jobs in 2006B. inspired volunteers to join themC. spent four days mending the photosD. made their work known in their newspaper (3)How did Emily Lancaster feel when she first heard about Operation Photo Rescue? A. Excited. B. Hopeless. C. Satisfied. D. Sceptical.(4)What is the best title for the passage?A. Surviving HurricanesB. An Act of GenerosityC. Saving MemoriesD. A Lucky Couple【答案】(1)B(2)B(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,摄影记者丽贝卡塞尔和编辑戴夫·埃利斯通过照片修复,他们让很多人丢失的记忆得到恢复,同时,也赢得了人们的肯定。

阅读理解练习全集含解析一、六年级语文阅读理解训练1.老常的铃声赵华伟①老常一定是全校最守时的人,因为他的工作与时间有关。
②老常生得黑,整张面皮犹如锅烟抹过,凭借与校长的故旧关系,在镇中学谋到了一份打铃的职事。
当最早的一道铃声响起时,我们揉着惺忪的睡眼,望着黑乎乎的天空,会将每天的第一句话送给老常:真是个催命不休的黑无常啊!③老常并不受我们爱戴..,除了其所干的工作总是扰人清梦外,还因为他没老婆。
娶不到老婆的男人被称为“打寡汉”,被视为这个乡村社会的底层。
老常并不顾忌..这些,只将一挂铃铛敲得有声有色。
④胆大的孩子从值班室门前走过时,会高声问一句:老常,你是不是北京大学打铃系毕业的?老常翻翻眼皮,恶狠狠地回着嘴,脸色也更加阴暗。
调皮的孩子会趁晚自习时将铃绳扯断或打成死结系在树干上,为老常制造许多的麻烦。
因此,就算深更半夜,也依然..能看到老常抱着树身折腾的情景。
⑤老常从不会离开我们,就算看不到他的影子,也能从那富有节奏的铃声中,感知到他的存在。
可是有一天,熟悉的铃声突然中断了。
⑥老常被派出所抓啦!有人放出了一个惊天动地的消息。
传话的人只说了结果,没给出原因,我们议论纷纷,一致归结为男女之事。
镇子是个大天地,老常连几个毛头学生的嘴巴都堵不住,更管不住镇上的风言风语。
政教处的马主任负责处理老常的事,走得急匆匆宛.如.火燎一般。
⑦当我是个乡下人吗,老子是镇中学的职工,别人存车一毛五,凭啥收我两毛钱?蹲在派出所里的老常,理直气壮地辩解道。
就算你是个大人物,也不能当场给人家两拳头吧?打了人就得出点钱,不然难平和!所长摊着巴掌反驳道。
老常不认罚,存车员不妥协,双方从下午三点一直僵持到晚上八点,最后,所长只好打电话到镇中学。
于是,马主任奉命去领人,钱一缴认了罚,连拖带拽地把老常扯了回来。
老常心里不痛快,一路走一路骂,直到进了校门还在朝派出所方向张望呢。
不过,在经过那挂铃铛时,老常忽然闭上了嘴巴,望着飘动的铃绳摇了摇头。

They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time."Why school?" I asked my father. "What have I done?""I'm not punishing you," he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don't you want to be useful like your brothers?"I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by you," said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others."I hesitated and squeezed his hand firmly, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man", he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave."I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?""My father," I whispered."My father's dead," he said simply.I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along and said, "This is your new home. There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully."Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.(1)On the way to school, the boy felt .A. happyB. embarrassedC. upsetD. excited(2)About schooling, Father suggested .A. wearing a smileB. tearing himself away from gamesC. waiting for parentsD. throwing himself to studying(3) helped him most on the first day at school.A.

Boys in the school would watch him curiously.C. He would open up a new journey of colorful life.D. His parents would accompany him at the school.【答案】(1)C(2)A(3)A(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者第一天去学校的时候并不开心,但是等他到了学校之后,他结交了很多朋友,开始了新的生活。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的“They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the firs t time.”可知穿新衣服并没有让作者开心,因为他要第一次被扔进学校了;再根据第四段中的“I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.”可知作者不相信将他从家中撕裂并被扔进这座巨大的高墙建筑(也就是学校)中真的有什么好处。
综合可知作者认为去学校不好,去学校的路上是不开心的,沮丧的,故选C。
(2)考查细节理解。
根据第五段中的"Go in by you, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. "可知作者的父亲对他说:"进去吧,加入他们的行列。
面带微笑,成为他人的好榜样。
"也就是作者的父亲让他面带微笑,故选A。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据倒数第二段中的“A lady came along and said, "This is your n ew home. …and face life joyfully. ”;以及最后一段中的"Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends.“可知老师过来对作者他们说了一番话,作者听了这番话之后觉得之前自己的顾虑是毫无根据的,打消了顾虑。
他一开始就交到了很多朋友。
这说明老师帮助作者在学校的第一天过得很好,他的同学也和他成为了朋友。
故选A。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的”From the first moments I made many friends. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.“可知从一开始我就结交了很多朋友。
我从未想象过学校会有如此丰富的经历。
由此推断之后作者会在学校开始新的生活,会有丰富的经历,故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,并根据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。

She majored in dance and theater at Alfred University and taught at her mother's dance studio in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, for years. But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: "Owning a studio is a lot of work—financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing(编舞), the staging, but I didn't want to own it."Yet Laqueur's disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a self-published author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue Self-publishing as a way of sharing her first completed novel with friends and family. During the process, she realized that following her truepassion—telling stories through writing—made the business of the art worthwhile, and owning that business meant she could direct her writing career however she chose.Starting with her second self-published novel, she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has self-published six novels, which collectively have hundreds of ratings and reviews on Goodreads. Her 2016 novel An Exaltation of Larks stole the show at the 25th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards, topping more than 2,300 entries to win the grand prize."You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think self-publishing allows that freedom,' she says. "If you work with traditional publishing, it's more about what's marketable, There are trade-offs, which everyone will tell you, but by self-publishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and I'm cool with that."(1)From Paragraph 2, we can learn that Laqueur _______.A. was a part-time writer when she was youngB. didn't like teaching dancing in factC. wanted to own a publishing houseD. was interested in running her mother's studio(2)What made Laqueur change her attitude to business?A.
