高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen (新生) , you still feel nervous that you don't know any upperclassmen or teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognise a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships.The work in high school is something that freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.1.What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in Paragraph 2?A.Training. B.Game.C.Discussion. D.Examination.2.What are freshmen probably worried about?A.The learning task.B.The ability to make friends.C.The relationship with teachers.D.The freshman orientation.3.Extracurricular activities mainly help students ________.A.build up healthy bodiesB.develop friendshipsC.develop the interestsD.improve their learning ability4.Who is this passage written for?A.Freshmen at high school.B.Freshmen's parents.C.Middle school students.D.Upperclassmen in high school.【答案】1.A2.A3.C4.A【分析】这是一篇说明文。
高考英语阅读理解记叙文练习题含答案(2023春·河南郑州·高一郑州外国语学校校考阶段练习)Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and the 4 minutes to go from one class to another isn’t really a lot of time even for a quick boy like me. Today, I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention(放学后留校).”After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today, we wrote about ourselves. The teacher asked us to just write what we thought, and we would pay attention to punctuation(标点符号) later.

I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with students I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch, I signed up for a computer club.

At night, the 26-year-old young man, taking off his helmet (头盔) and blue jacket, dives into small theaters where he is going to use stand-up comic sets inspired by his personal stories as a deliveryman to make people laugh.In 2019, he found that running errands can bring him a good income. Then he moved from his hometown to Xi’an, and became a deliveryman. He turned all the hardships he has been going through these years into funny jokes, which brings a refreshing life. For him, the skill of humor is not something he was born with, but what he has been diligently (勤奋地) training with his sincerity and eagerness to get a better life.On a freezing winter night, he stopped for a while in a bar after finishing the errands and heard rounds of cheers and laughs coming from the bar, and he was told that it was an open-mic event for stand-up comedy (脱口秀) . He was crazy with the joyous atmosphere into which he wanted to get himself integrated. The club owner later sent him a guidebook for stand-up comedy and gave him a chance to go on stage. His performance attracted wider attention and he received an invitation from the Shanghai-based comedy company Xiaoguo Culture to join a comic training camp last year. It was his first time to take a plane and get out from Shanxi province. He soon found that Shanghai offers more opportunities for stand-up comedy performers.In October, he moved to the city. There, he still chose to be a deliveryman and put on comic performances for four or five times a week.

The students have only been in the US for a few weeks or months. Many students were from different countries last year. Woods Chan became concerned when she started hearing the Spanish-speaking students laugh when their classmates spoke Mam or Arabic.Woods Chan came up with an idea. She asked her students to take turns teaching a little bit of their home language each day. Students taught their partners how to count from 1 to 10, how to introduce themselves and how to say basic phrases or words like “Cool”. Then, they recorded themselves saying those phrases in short videos and wrote vocabulary words on the whiteboard.Woods Chan saw the difference in her students. She said they grew more confident after seeing their own language on the whiteboard and hearing it in the videos. They started making friends with each other across cultural lines. Other students who were not in that class would come in and see something written in Mam on the whiteboard and say, “Hey, that’s Mam! I speak Mam!”The project also helped students understand their partners better. Orlando, a 17-year-old student from El Salvador, said he never knew Arabic or Mam, even existed before he came to the US and heard his classmates talk. Now, he thinks it would be good for all students in his school to learn a little of their partners’ home languages. “When I first got here,” he said in Spanish, “I thought, ‘No one talks like me. I’m the only one, and I felt lonely.’ Now, I don’t feel so bad anymore.”Knowledge of other languages can help Woods Chan’s students beyond the classroom, too. Languages like Mam are becoming more and more common in the US. Some Oakland graduates have gone on to become Mam-English interpreters (口译员) to help fill a lack of interpreters in all kinds of settings.9.What made Woods Chan think of the idea?A.Some of her students making fun of other languages.B.Her students hardly using their home languages.C.Her students being interested in learning a new language.D.Her students having difficulty communicating with each other.10.What was the students’ feeling of seeing their home languages written on the whiteboard?A.Angry but accepting.B.Excited and proud.C.Worried but supportive.D.Relaxed and creative.11.What effect did Woods Chan’s project have on Orlando?A.It made him feel less lonely at school.B.It encouraged him to get a job as an interpreter.C.It helped him understand his home language better.D.It enabled him to work better in foreign language classes.12.What can be the best title for the text?A.School Is Not the Only Place to Learn B.All Her Students Are Language TeachersC.She Replies to Her Students’ Needs Quickly D.Language Is Not a Block to Communication(2023秋·北京·高一统考期中)When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade, she came to me with a problem. “Marcy hates me!” she cried. “Because Kathy is my friend, too. She wants me to be her friend and nobody else’s. You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too!”Oh! I looked at her for a few moments, wondering how I got into this mess (困境), when suddenly an idea came to me.Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow, so does the basket. You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn’t do for yourself. I did everything you couldn’t do on your own.”She nodded.“Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket. When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket.”She said softly, “I can tie my own shoes.”“Right. As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket with thingsonly you can do.”She looked up at me and said, “I understand.

After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational (鼓舞人心的) speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural disasters.At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings.She doesn’t stop there, though.

She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time.Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends.

It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any givenday. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sisterˈs friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me all the highlights. He did not let me down.The carnival is most definitely all about the samba. Itˈs a style of music and dance which has its roots in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being colonized (殖民), so this mixed culture of African, Latin and European styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals (和声). Itˈs the kind of music that you canˈt help dancing to, and I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, my hips and shoulders were swinging (摇摆) almost involuntarily.Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade, the symbol of Brazilian culture, inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship title, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street. About the samba parade, twelve main teams compete for the championship, and if they win, their performance will be talked about for years to come. So, you must be wondering how it was. Well, Iˈm afraid I canˈt tell you. Ronnie and I never made into the Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and it was truly amazing.21.What made the author nervous in the beginning?A.Busy schedule.B.The big crowd.C.No local guide.D.Culture shock.22.What can we learn about samba from this passage?A.It has its origin in America.B.It is not the taste of the author.C.It has a long and mixed culture.D.Its music is usually slow and soft.23.The author didnˈt regret missing the parade because ________.A.she met some amazing local peopleB.she didnˈt have the tickets for the paradeC.she celebrated the festival in a local wayD.she enjoyed herself by making her own parties24.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To recommend a helpful guide.B.To tell a painful history of Rio de Janeiro.C.To encourage people to learn samba.D.To share an unforgettable experience.(2023春·山东青岛·高一统考期中)Recently I was watching a talk show hosted by a comedian called Trevor Noah from South Africa. The part which struck me most was his advice about travelling. He said, “The one thing you will never waste your money on is travelling. Travel broadens the mind. It is the antidote to ignorance (无知).” In my opinion this statement should be everyone’s life motto (座右铭).This year I’ve had the opportunity to do a lot of travelling around Europe and it has shown me first hand how much you can learn and develop by visiting different places. It is so wonderful to be able to go to a different country, listen to the different languages, try local food and experience the different culture.I’ve personally noticed how different I am since I started exploring more. It involves being able to find good train or plane tickets, getting yourself to the airport, not to mention trying to find your way around a completely new city. While it can be scary at first, after a few trips you realize that Google Maps is your best friend and it really isn’t that difficult to figure out public transport. Travelling also helps you develop your organization skills! It is basic to figure out how to get to different tourist attractions and plan your time wisely. However, it is also nice to learn to relax. On top of that, hotels are a great way to meet new people from all around the world. It is fantastic when young people from different parts of the world come together; I’ve met so many strange and wonderful people this way.As far as I can see, travel as much as possible, because the experiences you will gain from travelling can’t be taught at school and they will change your life.25.What do the underlined words “antidote to” mean in the first paragraph?A.Replacement of.B.Development of.C.Treatment for.D.Agreement to.26.How will the author describe his trip to Europe?A.Busy.B.Hard.C.Rich.D.Costly.27.What has happened to the author since he began traveling?A.He has become more confident and independent.B.He has developed a skill to select tourist attractions.C.He has found it hard to figure out public transport.D.He has made many friends from all over the world.28.Which section is the text most likely to appear in a newspaper?A.News.B.Education.C.Opinions.D.Health.(2023春·江苏泰州·高一泰州中学校考阶段练习)Johan Clarey tends not to be in much of a rush when it comes to anything other than speeding down a hill on skis. Add Olympic success to the list of things he’s waited for.The Frenchman, who turned 41 in January, became the oldest man to win an Olympic medal in Alpine skiing in history when he claimed a silver behind Beat Feuz of Switzerland in the downhill at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games, breaking Bode Miller’s record by five years.“Everything came late in my life. Since I was a young boy, that’s what my mother said,” Clarey said. “I take extra time to do everything — walking, speaking and everything. Apparently, my career started quite the same.”This was Clarey’s fourth Olympics and realistically his last chance of being on the podium (领奖台) at the Olympics. “I took a lot of risks. I knew I had only one chance left in my career to get a medal in the Olympics,” he said. “And when I was going down, I knew I made a good run, but you never know in downhill skiing. Sometimes you’re fast, but sometimes you’re not. You never know why. But today was fast.” This was only Clarey’s second medal at a major championship; he also took home a silver in the super-G at the 2019 world championships.And this big moment almost didn’t happen: Clarey had considered retirement. He said he’s been having doubts about whether to continue competing for six years. The Frenchman said, “At 35, I said to myself, You have to do one year by one year.” That, he says now, was “a good choice”, because he has the medal to prove it. Clarey is still not quite ready to quit. He will turn his attention back to the World Cup circuit.29.What do we know about Clarey as a boy?A.He was gifted in snow sports.B.He preferred skiing to other sports.C.He got an early start on his future career.D.He seemed to mature later than his peers.30.What was Clarey’s achievement at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games?A.He won the championship in Alpine skiing.B.He competed in Alpine skiing for the first time.C.He won his first Olympic medal in Alpine skiing.D.He was the first Frenchmen to medal in Alpine skiing.31.What does Clarey now think of his decision at age 35?A.It was rewarding.B.It was too costly.C.It was a joke.D.It was a coincidence.32.What can we learn from Clarey’s story?A.Actions speak louder than words.B.Ups and downs make one strong.C.The early bird catches the worm.D.Determination is the key to success.(2023秋·贵州黔西·高一统考期末)A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher stressed the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished.Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!”. I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”“Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ actually means ‘Really!’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”Only then did I realize I had made a fool of mysell. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: What the English teachers said is always right to us students.33.A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because________.A.English idioms were not importantB.my teacher didn’t emphasize the importance of themC.I had no interest in themD.I didn’t realize the importance of English idioms34.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A.The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.B.The Englishman thought the Great Wall is worth visiting.C.The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.D.The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.35.At first, on hearing “You don’t say!” I thought the foreigner meant ________.A.he was only interested in the Great WallB.he was not interested in the topicC.I had talked too muchD.I had to stop talking36.After the Englishman explained the idiom, ________.A.I felt very foolishB.I thought the Englishman had made me a foolC.the Englishman became a real foolD.I became more carefully in everything(2023·全国·高一专题练习)In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.

The year was 1859. America and England had already fought two wars. Now, they were at peace. But one day a pig got hungry. And it nearly caused another war between the two countries. The pig was owned by a British man who lived on a small island. The island was just off the western part of North America. Both England and the US said the island was theirs. Across the island from the British man lived some American farmers. Everyone on the island got along peacefully. But the peace ended the day the British man's pig decided to eat some of an American farmer's potatoes.One of the American farmers shot and killed the pig. Then the pig's owner wanted $100 from the man who shot the animal. That was a lot of money, so the farmer refused to pay it. The British and Americans began to argue, and the situation got worse. The farmers asked the governor over the island at that time for help. He sent a group of soldiers to protect the farmers. The British answered by sending 2, 000 soldiers. The British were on one side of the island, and the Americans were on the other. The problem that began with the pig was about to become a shooting war.When news of the problem reached Washington and London, both leaders were surprised. Neither country wanted another war. They sent some men to try to fix the problem. After a discussion, it was decided that each country would keep a small group of soldiers on the island. They would stay there until the two countries could decide who owned the island. Then the others would have to leave.Twelve years went by. Neither side wanted to give u the island, but they knew they had to do something. They asked the leader of Germany to help decide. After nearly a year of discussion, a decision was made.

I had made great efforts to write when I camehome at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job.I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am andmade a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floorfor 20 minutes to rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours.In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn't good enough, soI ended up putting it in a drawer. My second novel, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, waspublished to glowing reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.My success sounds like a familiar story, but actually it was far from sudden. I quit my job, and for every story I published in those years, I had at least 30 rejections. The novel that I put awayin the drawer took my four years. My breakthrough came in 2006, 18 years after I first sat downto write at my kitchen table.Sometimes genius (天才 ) is just the thing that comes out after 20 years of working at your kitchen. Also, doing something truly creative requires the energy of youth. Orson Welles made hismasterpiece, Citizen Kan, at 25. T. S. Eliot wrote The Love Song of J.

To show creativity needs energy andefforts.C. To persuade the readers of their great talents.D. To recommend their two masterpieces.【答案】(1) D(2) B(3) A(4) B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者通过讲述自己成功的经历,进一步证实了“失败是成功之母”的道理。

These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her andkick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.28. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Try challenging things.B. Take a degree.C. Bring back lost memories.D. Stick to a promise.29.

An unforgettable experience.C. Sailing around the world.D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.体裁:记叙文主题:人与自我--生活-旅行【字数】300 + 98【语篇导读】文章主要介绍了71岁的Ginni Balinton从小就对旅行有着深深的热爱,渴望探险,不再跳舞和孩子们成家立业之后,她开始周游世界,并在2008年开始了前往南极洲的旅程。

I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation: “So what happened today?”It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he have a session, he talked about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment.

英语专题复习记叙文阅读理解训练(B篇)一、2017·全国一卷I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Mutton town. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰)on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟)and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.24. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Efforts made in vain.B. Getting injured in his work.C. Feeling uncertain about his future.D. Creatures forced out of their homes.25. Why was the author called to Mutton town?A. To rescue a woman.B. To take care of a woman.C. To look at a baby owl.D. To cure a young owl.26. What made the chick calm down?A. A new nest.B. Some food.C. A recording.D. Its parents.27. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A. It’s unexpected.B. It’s beautiful.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.二、2017·全国二卷BI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well-known as Paul— he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.24. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it.B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C. He wasn’t famous enough.D. The director recommended someone else.25. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A. They were of the same age.B. They worked in the same theater.C. They were both good actors.D. They have similar characteristics.26. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Their belief.B. Their care for children.C. Their success.D. Their support for each other.27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?A. To show his love of films.B. To remember a friend.C. To introduce a new movie.D. To share his acting experience.三、2017·全国三卷Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many timesin the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置)was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said good-by as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.24. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?A. It made room for new equipment.B. It signaled the closedown of the theater.C. It was done with the help of the audience.D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.25. Why was The Last Picture Show put on?A. It was an all-time classic.B. It was about the history of the town.C. The audience requested it.D. The theater owner found it suitable.26. What will probably happen to the building?A. It will be repaired.B. It will be turned into a museum.C. It will be knocked down.D. It will be sold to the city government.27. What can we infer about the audience?A. They are disappointed with Bradford.B. They are sad to part with the old theater.C. They are supportive of the city officials.D. They are eager to have a shopping center.四、2018·深圳一模My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer’s road trip.As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip, I came across a book-Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem. I thought. So I put Roald Dahl’sJames and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring(恢复)electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation, "The book you read in the car.Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.24. Why did the author start reading in the car?A. She wanted to have a better journey.B. She wanted to keep a family traditionC. Her children were addicted to reading.D. Her children were tired of the cassette25. How did the children react after the author read a few lines?A. They kept fightingB. They hid themselvesC. They soon settled downD. They read together aloud26. What can we learn about the author and her family's trip to the beach?A. They were caught in a stormB. They enjoyed reading on the roadC. They had a good time on the beachD. They thought it had passed too quickly.27. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Better Traveling than ReadingB. Books that Changed My ChildrenC. Road Trips Full of ChallengesD. Reading Makes Great Road Trips五、2015·宁夏、海南Computer programmer David Jones earns $35.000 a year designing new computer games. yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card(信用卡)Instead he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.

Within 20 days, seven-year-old Gianessa Wride's hair was completely gone, and her doctor said the hair would never grow back. Gianessa had become one of the 6. 8 million Americans with alopecia, an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.Alopecia isn't painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the severe pain comes from standing out from the crowd. For the most part, the students in Gianessa's first-grade class in Salem, Utah, were understanding. But the occasional jokes of "Baldy"(秃子) made her feel like an abandoned child. "I didn't want her to feel that she wasn't like the other kids," her mother said." I tried covering her baldness, but the artificial hair was uncomfortable."Then comes the school's traditional "Crazy Hair Day" in April, a great just-for-fun celebration where all the kids and their parents can express their wild sides a bit. Daniella and Gianessa decided that rather than hide Gianessa's baldness under the artificial hair, they would celebrate it. Daniella bought scrapbook-sticker (贴纸) jewels and decorated her head with flowered designs and even a deer. "They just fit her personality," Daniella smiled. "She's so lovely."On the morning of the competition, Gianessa was nervous. Would her friends think it was funny? However, with her mother's encouragement, she had nothing to fear. Impressive Gianessa was a hit and a winner of the crazy-hair competition. Gianessa is now glad that she dared to go bare. "I was sad at first when I lost all my hair," she told people. "But now I love being bald. I can do things to my head that other kids can't. I'm thinking now it might be fun to decorate my head with some colourful butterflies and flowers. "(1)Why was Gianessa different from other kids?A.She was born bald.B.She suffered from hair loss.C.She was talented in hair designing.D.She had her head fully shaved.(2)How did others react to Gianessa's disease?A.Her doctor was quite optimistic.B.Her mother gave her artificial hair.C.Her classmates were all considerate.D.Her school offered her special help.(3)What could Gianessa do on the "Crazy Hair Day"?A.She could tease others.B.She could decorate her hair.C.She could shop scrapbook-stickers.D.She could show her personality.(4)What is the main idea of the text?A.The girl faced her disease in a most beautiful way.B.The artificial hair built up the girl's confidence.C.The competition served as a way to make a change.D.The disease was cured with mother's love and care.【答案】(1)B(2)B(3)D(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,一个七岁的女孩Gianessa Wride得了一种疾病,掉光了头发还不可能再重新长出来,但是她终于在家人和同学们的帮助下,勇敢地展现她的个性,愉快地生活。
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Bamboo is one of the world's most useful plants. For thousands of years, bamboo has been used in many different ways-from food to medicine to clothing and, in small ways, as a building material.However, bamboo is not often used as a building material in the developed world. A professor at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania is trying to change that. The professor and his students are testing the strength of bamboo.They are testing how much pressure or weight it can take before breaking.Kent Harries is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Harries says that testing methods for bamboo need to be the same for all. They need to be standardized. Standardizing test methods for bamboo will help to bring the plant into common use. It will also give engineers and builders around the world a dependable standard.Harries says that bamboo is strong in nature. The strength of at least three species of bamboo is similar to steel.Besides its strength, bamboo has other features that make it very useful in building. He says it is resilient(有弹力的), meaning it keeps its shape and strength even under pressure.Bamboo also grows quickly. Bamboo that is suitable for construction needs much less resources than wood. The harvest cycle of bamboo is about 3 years. Softwoods such as cedar, pine and spruce have a harvest cycle of about 10 years. And hardwoods that come from flowering plants such as oak and walnut need more than 30 years.Bamboo is widely used as food for panda bears. It is also used for flooring and window covers. However, for building, bamboo is not used much outside its native growing area. This is mostly because of its round shape. But there are other reasons too. People think -- or have the mentality--that bamboo is a low quality building material.(1)What is the author mainly talking about in the passage?A. Make bamboo a common building material.B. Take advantage of bamboo in our everyday.C. Consider bamboo to be a common plant.D. Use bamboo to replace building materials.(2)What is the purpose of what Kent Harries and his students did?A. To prove what is the most useful plant.B. To introduce bamboo to the developed world.C. To give engineers and builders some advice.D. To make sure of the strength of bamboo.(3)What does Harries think of bamboo in the passage?A. Harries sees bamboo as a great building material.B. Harries thinks bamboo is as strong as steel.C. Harries sees bamboo as the most ideal Plant.D. Harries thinks bamboo has the reliable shape.(4)What can be inferred from the passage?A. Bamboo is an environmentally friendly building material.B. Bamboo material will go to the market in the soon future.C. Hardwoods are much more popular than softwoods.D. Bamboo grows not only faster buttakes up less space.【答案】(1)A(2)D(3)A(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了竹子是世界上最有用的植物之一。

She finally had lost her long battle with cancer. I heard a door open and shut at the back of the church. Quick footsteps hurried along the floor. A young man looked around briefly and then sat next to me. He folded his hands and placed them on his lap. His eyes were filled with tears. He began to sniffle.“I’m late,” he explained, though no explanation was necessary.After several eulogies (悼词), he asked, “Why do they keep calling Mary by the name of Margaret?”“Because, that was her name, Margaret. Never Mary, no one called her Mary.”I whispered.I wondered why this person couldn’t have sat on the other side of the church. Who was this stranger anyway?“Isn’t this the Lutheran Church?”“No, the Lutheran Church is across the street.”“Oh.”“I believe you’re at the wrong funeral, Sir.”The seriousness of the occasion mixed with the realization of the man’s mistake burst inside me and came out as laughter. I cupped my hands over my face, hoping it would not be noticed. Sharp looks from others only made the situation seem funnier. He was laughing too, as he glanced around, deciding it was too late to leave.“I do believe we’ll be the talk of the town,” he smiled.His name was Rick and, since he had missed his aunt’s funeral, he asked me out for a cup of coffee. That afternoon began a lifelong journey for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral, but was in the right place. A year after our meeting, we were married at a country church. This time we both arrived at the same church, right on time.1.How did the author’s mother pass away?考点16易A.She took her own life.B.She died in an accident.C.She died of old age.D.She died of a cancer.2.What does the underlined word “sniffle” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?考点16易A.Sob.B.Sneeze.plain.D.Yell.3.Whose funeral was the man supposed to attend?考点16易A.His mother’s.B.His teacher’s.C.His aunt’s.D.His wife’s.4.What is the main idea of the passage?考点16中难A.How much the author missed her mother.B.Why the man went to the wrong funeral.C.How the author came across her husband.D.Where the author’s wedding was held.B (考点16中难)After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles (障碍) and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Rick,My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me.I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do th at. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.

Her arrival at our classroom was always quick,**Good morning, everyone! Small but energetic, she would drop her things on the teacher's table, and move immediately to the blackboard, continuing the material of the last lesson as though we had all just left the room for five minutes. Our books would be out, and we would watch her closely.I’ve thought a lot about Clare Lindsay over the years. What was her special magic? There're two reasons and I think they're necessary for all excellent teachers. She loved her subject, and she loved us,in a patient and objective way. She had no favorites that I can remember, and she called us all by our first names pleasantly. She had a way of teaching that I loved.“Now we could go down this path, couldn't we? We could argue this, and then this, but that doesn't work because of this. No Can Do (NCD)!”She would put a big cross, and write “NCD” against what she had put down. “Right! Why not go dow n this new path?” And she would show us that this new way worked. It was fun, and her love for maths caught on. We all did well for her, the poor students as well as the skilled. I've never found maths difficult, and 1 put that skill down to her.In fourth and fifth years, we were divided into the science and arts streams, and Mrs. Lindsay taught us all no longer. But as the leaving Certificate exams were coming.one of my friends became nervous about how much math’s he didn't know. With great courage, he went to see Mrs. Lindsay, and asked if she would help him prepare for his General Math’s paper. “Of course!” she said, and did just that, after school,in her own time He passed what a good teacher!1. What was Clare Lindsay’s special magic?考点16易A. She always talked with her students.B. She knew how to control her students.C. She had much knowledge of math’s.D. She loved her job and her students.2. What does the author mean by saying “I put that skill down to her” in Paragraph 4? 考点16易A. He forgot the math’s skill Mrs. Lindsay taught.B. He found that the math’s skill was difficult to learn.C. He thanked Mrs. Lindsay for teaching him the math’s skill.D. He hoped Mrs. Lindsay would teach him more math’s skills.3. Which of the following can best describe Clare Lindsay? 考点16易A. Enthusiastic and warm-hearted.B. Brave and patient.C. Energetic and strict.D. Generous and careful.D (考点16易)Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs. White.I don’t remember much ab out what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and find there were so many mistakes, but no red corrections, and always a star. Sometimes even a Good! This worried my mother, so one day when she went to meet Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her whyshe never red-penciled my mistakes in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors."The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, or forming sentences. I don't want to damage that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait. The wonder of words won’t." Mrs. White said.Later I knew that if Mrs. White had used her red pen often I probably wouldn't be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher to exercise such red-pen-restraint (限制). I used to misspell "beautiful" a lot, and never could quite remember that the "e" went before the "a". It annoyed my teacher in high school. If I was going to employ the word with such lavishness (华丽丰富的语言) she figured the least I could do was spell it right. Eventually the e's and a's settled into their right hold as much as you mean sometimes.And thanks to Mrs. White, I had no worry about writing what I meant even ifI couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t "Pretty".It’s "Beautiful".1.The underlined word "This" in the second paragraph refers to the factthat .考点16易A.I always made mistakes in my spellingB. Mrs. White often made wrong correctionsC. Mrs. White's attitude towards my mistakes was specialD. mother wanted to know how to improve my spellings2.From what Mrs. White said we can infer that .考点16易A. grammar and spelling should be paid more attention toB. children don't have the patience in spelling wordsC. children's interest of learning words is very importantD. red corrections are used to draw children's attention3.The writer may probably think his/her high schoolteacher .考点16易A. taught in the same way as Mrs. White had doneB. was not satisfied with his/her mistakes made in spellingC. should tell him/her how to improve words spellingD. paid much attention to teach students to use proper words第II卷(非选择题)(每题1.5分,共60分)(1)(考点中难)The Moon’s near side, the one we all see, has been the target of many robotic and human missions.

英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解It was when I was walking to my office, trailed by three young people whose ages ranged from 16 to 25, flowing down the corridor behind me like the tail of a kite, that I thought of it for the first time.This could be because I am not actually a mother. Until recently, I was not a "real" stepmother either. But I have been living with the man who is now my husband, Bernardo for 10 years and in those 10 years, not only have his younger daughters spent every other weekend and half of their school holiday with us but also his son has lived with us full-time. In fact, when Bernardo asked me to move in, he asked his son for permission first.Being a step mum is hard enough but being a sort-of-step-mother is about the most awkward position a mature woman can find herself in. With my sort-of-steppies, I have occupied a place of influence, power and sometimes extreme anger by turns. I have stepped on a delicate path between being a grown-up friend, a bridge of influence with their father, the woman of the house, and a figure of authority – but not too much.Love the kids or hate them, you must always remember that no matter how much you cook, clean, hug, comfort and discipline, you will never actually count.To survive, I trained myself to love the stepkids as hard as I could, but not to care. It's a handy piece of good mental health trickery I recommend to anyone in my position. I can help with homework, yes, but not bother about the results of that homework. I can teach them good manners, but not care about the bad habits they learn at home. Semi-detached is the position.(1)Which of the following is true about Bernardo?A. Bernardo seldom cares about the kids.B. Bernardo dislikes living with his kids.C. Bernardo respects the opinion of his kids.D. Bernardo doesn't recognize his wife as a "real" stepmother.(2)What does the author think of her role in the family?A. She was totally favored by the kids.B. She has acted as an enemy of the kids.C. She didn't have any influence in the family.D. She was the communication bridge between kids and their father.(3)What's the author's advice for stepmothers in the last paragraph?A. Be partly engaged in kids' life.B. Care little about kids' behavior.C. Seldom get involved in kids' homework.D. Become the absolute authority of the family.【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了作为一个继母应该如何与孩子相处才是一个适当的度。

2024年高考真题Passage1【新课标Ⅰ卷】“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him?A. He’s odd.B. He’s strict.C. He’s brave.D. He’s rude.25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?A. He was trained in it at university.B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.C. He benefited from it as a patient.D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment.B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work.C. Examples of rare animal diseases.D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine.27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?A. To prove Farber’s point.B. To emphasize its importance.C. To praise veterinarians.D. To advocate animal protection.【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. A【导语】本文是记叙文。
记叙文类阅读理解(解析版)记叙文类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生、发展和结局,通常有时间、地点、人物、事件等。
一、解题策略1. 记叙文写作特点高考阅读理解体裁纷繁多样,但每套试卷通常包含一到两篇记叙文。
在所有的阅读体裁中,记叙文的难度相对是比较低的。
如果掌握了阅读的技巧,多多实践,阅读能力就有可能大大提高。
要熟练掌握记叙文的阅读技巧,了解记叙文的写作特点与命题特点也是有必要的。
记叙文是一种记载和叙述事件由来,描绘事物和人物情景状态、过程及发展的文体。
消息、通讯、传记、游记、小说、童话、寓言以及记叙性的散文等文体,都属于记叙文的范畴。
就写作顺序而言,记叙文要么是按时间顺序,要么是按事件的重要性的顺序来展开。
不管是哪种叙述方法,最后经常会有一两句话抒发作者的情绪与感悟,这是记叙文的精华所在,也是阅读的难点所在,可谓"一篇之妙,在于落句"。
总之:1.同一人物重复出现,以人物关系为发展主线;2.有不同时间点分布,以时间为发展顺序;3.生词少,句子短;4.最终给读者以一定道理以及启迪。
2. 记叙文考情分析有些文章是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的,在叙述的过程中有详有略;有些文章是按时间的顺序叙述的,有顺叙、倒叙等。
从总体上来讲,文章的难度通常不大,在阅读过程中,我们一直在某个线索的引导下,随着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末,因此会感到比较轻松。
命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手,考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
阅读此类文章应特别注意:(1)若是一般故事性文章,应读懂故事的发生,发展,高潮和结局;(2)若是"哲理故事",要理解故事所蕴含的哲理意义;(3)若是"逸闻趣事",应体会对话的风趣性,进而才能感受幽默的精髓。
记叙文命题特点从命题形式上看,常见的有细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意、推理判断、作者意图等题型。
除了推论或词义辨识题,记叙文命题的顺序一般都会按照文章的脉络和故事发展的顺序层层推进,否则就会觉得别扭,逻辑不通。
