英语阅读理解强化训练附参考答案英语阅读理解强化训练1：When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk(冒…危险)being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby(喜好), especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frepuent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and wits for it to develop.Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,”says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.”56. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to .A. head straight for the center of the stormB. get into the car for safetyC. wait patiently for the storm to developD. collect information about a coming storm57. Beginners of storm chasing are advised .A. not to drive in a heavy rainB. to do it in an organized wayC. not to get too close to a stormD. to spend more time on it in summer58. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that .A. storm chasing costs a lot of moneyB. storm chasing is worth hours of waitingC. efforts in storm chasing are well paidD. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth59. What can we learn from the text?A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointmentB. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world/D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.英语阅读理解强化训练参考答案：56.D 57.B 58.C 59.A英语阅读理解强化训练2：It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day. Humans are naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day. However, modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift(轮班)work — being awake at night and sleeping during the day.In order to make this adjustment, you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. If shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help.Arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet, dark room. This means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone, hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask, and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep.Fit in a nap(小睡). When your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance.Develop and follow a sleep routine. Its best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. Try not to vary this too much on weekends. Your body likes routine.Take extra care to make healthy choices. You may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep. But ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful.If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Sometimes medications(药物治疗)may be helpful and safe. In other cases, there may be an underlying sleep disorder that needs to be addressed.72.The purpose of the text is to .A.persuade workers to have a god sleep.B.advise night workers to keep healthyC.encourage workers to do day workD.help night workers to sleep well73.What does the author recomusend?A.A suitable account of alcohol to help sleep.B.A regular life on weekdays and weekends.C.A dark room without phoebes to sleep in.D.A break for sleeping anytime during the day.74.On which condition should a person turn to a sleep specialist for help?A.If he suffers from a sleep disorder for the first time.B.If a good sleep environment is greatly needed for him.C.If he falls to get quality sleep through his own efforts.D.If he has the problem of bailing to sleep in the daytime.75.We can learn from the test that .A.night workers need a long time to fall asleepB.constant breaks at work help to improve performanceC.it is difficult to create a good sleep environmentD.night work requires people to adjust their body clocks英语阅读理解强化训练参考答案：72—75 DBCD。

The development of processed foods(加工食品) has made food easier to get and prepare. 4 every coin has two sides. Apart from its advantages, the 5 of cooking also has its disadvantages.Though processed foods seem a great way to save 6 , they offer much less nutritional(营养的)value than traditional foods.

But what will 9 if one eats such food all year round? It will damage your 10 . The nutritional value of the food is not so high. Worse still, research shows that preservatives(防腐剂)used in these foods are 11 to children.

Cookingis not done just to satisfy hunger; it is also a(n) 15 form of art. Across the world, there are thousands of 16 cooking styles. If young people are used to processed foods, few of them will develop great cooking 17 . And when they become parents, it will be hard for their children to enjoy a(n) 18 home­cooked meal. What’s more, cookin g is a great time for 19 to connect. There is a lot of 20 when family members are preparing food together.In a word, I believe though processed food has made the preparation of food much easier, it has not been a good step for humankind.1．A．special B．basic C．right D．valuable 2．A．though B．before C．if D．unless 3．A．dangerous B．helpful C．troublesome D．surprising 4．A．So B．And C．But D．Or 5．A．easiness B．safety C．method D．difficulty 6．A．energy B．food C．money D．time7．A．rich B．strange C．smart D．busy 8．A．choose B．dislike C．refuse D．stop 9．A．change B．happen C．get D．offer 10．A．future B．memory C．brain D．health 11．A．harmful B．useless C．meaningful D．necessary 12．A．cold B．sweet C．unhealthy D．hot 13．A．heating B．finding C．preparing D．storing 14．A．varying B．dying C．appearing D．developing 15．A．important B．famous C．simple D．new 16．A．regular B．ordinary C．different D．similar 17．A．knowledge B．lessons C．interests D．skills 18．A．delicious B．clean C．expensive D．cheap 19．A．patients B．friends C．families D．cooks 20．A．success B．work C．progress D．fun【答案】1．B2．C3．B4．C5．A6．D7．D8．A9．B10．D11．A12．C13．C14．B15．A16．C17．D18．A19．C20．D6．Throughout history，people have been interested in knowing how language first began，but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. 1 ，we do know a lot about 2 ，the languages of today and also the languages of 3 times.

高一年级英语阅读理解专项训练（含答案）（7篇）一、完型填空1．This year my husband and I decided to have a quiet, low-key New Year's Eve. We wanted to spend it with our kids and other immediate family and make it a special 1 for them, instead of 2 a babysitter and going out on our own. The logical way to do this was through 3 . As we all know, food had a magical way of making; a night 4 , and our New Year's Eve certainly 5 that way, thanks to doughnuts(甜甜圈).I decided to make doughnuts because my cousins had 6 a batch(一批) on Halloween and I found it very 7 . I used a recipe from the 1976 Mennonite cookbook More With Less and it 8 a curious ingredient---two cups of mashed potatoes that 9 made the texture lighter. The doughnuts were 10 and cut from a sheet of dough(生面团), then left to rise until ready to fry in hot oil. Then they took several seconds to 11 , which meant that my enormous batch of 100 doughnuts was 12 cooking in a fairly short time. We glazed(浇上浆液) the tops and then 13 them for the rest of the evening. The leftovers disappeared at breakfast.This will become an annual 14 , I have no doubt. Whether we host a bigger party or keep it small, there will always be 15 doughnuts, because when you have hot homemade doughnuts, you can't help but have the best time.1．A．challenge B．idea C．opportunity D．occasion 2．A．training B．hiring C．knowing D．interviewing 3．A．time B．money C．food D．fun4．A．short B．memorable C．messy D．silent 5．A．tested out B．moved on C．tuned out D．picked out 6．A．put B．bought C．brought D．made 7．A．impressive B．expensive C．healthy D．nutritious 8．A．took up B．carried on C．called for D．cut off 9．A．fortunately B．possibly C．totally D．absolutely 10．A．rolled out B．taken apart C．sorted out D．cut down 11．A．steam B．cook C．sink D．float 12．A．finished B．practiced C．considered D．demanded 13．A．prepared B．waited C．enjoyed D．longed 14．A．celebration B．idea C．ceremony D．tradition 15．A．fresh B．raw C．common D．local【答案】1．D2．B3．C4．B5．C6．D7．A8．C9．B10．A11．B12．A13．C14．D15．A2．Dear girls,The dream itself comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing.

My grandmother, my mother and I were having lunch at a restaurant. I 1 a Salisbury steak. But when served, it was 2 accompanied by a plate of peas.I have always hated peas. It is a complete 3 to me why anyone would voluntarily eat peas. “Eat your peas,” my grandmother said.“Mother,” said my mother in her 4 voice. “He doesn’t like peas. Leave him alone.”My grandmother looked at me and said the words that changed my life: “I’ll pay you five dollars 5 you eat those peas”. Five dollars! And only one plate of peas stood between 6 and the possession of that unimaginable amount of money. I began to 7 the awful things down my throat and finally swallowed the 8 one of them.

Even those small acts of kind ness can make a difference in someone’ day. That was just the case for Amie Mickey when she 1 a bumper sticker (车尾贴) on her car reading: You Matter.Amie started to do this several years ago. At first, she wondered if people would 2 it. However, much to her surprise, she began seeing a flood of 3 every time she hit the road. More often than not, people 4 slowly near her car would roll down their windows, raising their 5 , waving and smiling. Sometimes, she even found some sticky notes left on her windshield saying things like “You 6 too!” Once while she was driving down the highway, she became 7 when a man driving a sports car at a high speed pulled his car alongside suddenly, waving and mouthing, “You matter!” Though it took her some time to recover from the 8 , she still felt happy. Last year, someone 9 her car while she was waiting for her friend in the car by the roadside, saying to her, “It is a(an) 10 sticker. I’ve seen various stickers before, bu t none of them have touched me as your sticker has done.” The two small words on the sticker seem simple enough, but they really struck a chord with many complete strangers who 11 to catch sight of the sticker.Stories like Amie’s really 12 the rest of us. Sometimes a kind word or gesture may lift our 13 and it doesn’t cost a thing except for a little extra thought. Maybe it means offering a friend a hug, praising the children when their children 14 well in school, helping someone out or volunteering at nursing homes. Acts of kindness are waiting everywhere. Small as they seem, they can make a 15 impact on the world, and help form general goodness.1．A．put up B．picked up C．fixed up D．tore up 2．A．watch B．overlook C．notice D．ignore 3．A．strangers B．passers-by C．attention D．confusion 4．A．running B．driving C．walking D．riding 5．A．voices B．thumbs C．shoulders D．hats6．A．count B．share C．matter D．value 7．A．frightened B．discouraged C．embarrassed D．disappointed 8．A．parking B．speed C．event D．incident 9．A．blocked B．approached C．repaired D．cleaned 10．A．special B．important C．typical D．skeptical 11．A．occurred B．happened C．managed D．offered12．A．shock B．delight C．inspire D．satisfy 13．A．spirits B．thoughts C．feelings D．minds 14．A．work B．exercise C．conduct D．behave 15．A．reliable B．subjective C．positive D．brief【答案】1．A2．C3．C4．B5．B6．C7．A8．D9．B10．A11．B12．C13．A14．D15．C5．One day, a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test.

阅读理解训练（5）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A MythIt is true that world population is growing, but this is not the ca use of our current and future global problems. Believing this w ill cause us to ignore the real problem and risk long-term damage to our planet.Let me start by explaining why overpopulation is a myth. For o ne thing, the UN Population Division regularly predicts populat ion growth but provides a low variant (变量), medium variant, and high variant to factor in various possi bilities. In the 2010 revision, their high variant suggests that th e world population will be almost 16 billion in 2100, but the lo w variant predicts it will peak at 8 billion and decrease to just over 6 billion by 2100. In most cases, it is the low variant that has come true in the past, suggesting the same will be true of their future population predictions. In addition to this, the size of families is actually decreasing.For another, if the Earth is overpopulated, there needs to be i nsufficient (短缺) food, water, and space for humans to live. However, India n economist Raj Krishna estimates that alone is able to incre ase crop produce to the point of providing the entire world’s fo od supply. The World Food Programme confirms that there is sufficient food grown to feed the world and there is the same amount of fresh water on the planet now as there was 10,000 years ago. So how is it possible that the number of people in t he world is affecting our planet?Therefore, it is not an increase in population but an increase i n consumption that is a severe threat. Materialism and overco nsumption are facts of life for everybody in the western world, as possessions reflect a person’s status in society and people strive to obtain happiness through owning the latest fashiona ble goods. Not only that, but waste is a common occurrence which has a huge effect on our resources. It is a sad truth that 80% of the world’s resources are currently used by just 20% of the world’s population.Our overconsumption must be addressed now to make our liv es more sustainable (可持续的) and avoid continuing the terrible damage to the environme nt we are causing. The key is education. If we do not work to wards this but instead focus on the wrong issue, we may find ourselves living on a planet that can no longer sustain humanlife.1. According to the author, what causes our current and future global problems?A. The increase in population.B. Shortage of food and water.C. The fast growth of material needs.D. Failure to protect the environment.2. The underlined word “myth” in Paragraph 2 is closest in me aning to _________.A. factB. misconceptionC. possibilityD. uncertainty3. The author stresses that _____.A. people should save food and waterB. economists are making wrong predictionsC. wrong judgment leads to serious consequencesD. measures should be taken to reduce population4. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. The real cause of global problems.B. The severe effect of overpopulation.C. Reasonable use of natural resources.D. Methods to reduce overconsumption.【参考答案】C B C .A2016高考英语二轮：（精选）阅读理解训练（5）及答案A“It takes an entire village to raise a child.”That’s an old prov erb(谚语) that is being quoted more and more often these days. And I’m pleased about that.Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve p arents, community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future.Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, go ing on a field trip, teaching a craft or coaching a child’s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child’s educat ion. And don’t forget to communicate with teachers---they need and respect your input. Studies show that children l earn more and schools function better when parents and scho ols work together. It’s important to stay in touch with your child’s education all through his or her school career.Communities can help children create and achieve new goal s. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a children’s tea m, or provide emotional support. Help solve problems and buil d self-esteem. Kids need role models and advisers can be role mod els by sharing their experiences and wisdom.Businesses can also help shape our children’s future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You ma y be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilitie s. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a m ini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.It really does take an entire village to raise a child. So share the responsibility---and the joy---of bringing a child to his or her full potential.21. The implied advice in the proverb “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” is that ______.A. All the people in a village should give food to a child.B.Schools, parents, and other organizations should share the responsibilityof shaping a child’s future.C. Children’s should be brought up in the village where they w ere born.D. Schools should be set up in the village where a child was r aised.22.. The text was written mainly for _______________.A. parents and members in organizationsB. teachers and studentsC. newspaper reporters and developing electriciansD. education experts and government officials23. Students can get developed in practical working skill throu gh ______.A. parental involvementB. community activitiesC. business trainingD. school teaching24. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Parents play an important part in children’s education.B. Communities have not a bit effect on the way to new and h igh ideal.C. Educating a child well demands of the work not only from school but from other organizations.D. Businesses may arrange some training courses for students.参考答案21-24 BACBBMany people find themselves caught up in others’ problems, a nd then confused about how and when to help. In fact, all rela tionships need limits no matter whether they are friendships, s ibling relations, mates/ lovers or business relations. On some l evel, all limit setting means saying no. However, it is usually a qualified “no” that says what, where, when, and under what c onditions you will give or not give to another person. There are three points we should keep in mind about limit setting:1.Decide where to set the limits. Think about the entire situati on. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person. Aim to do somethin g to help the other person without taking on the whole proble m.2.Express the limits clearly. For example, you say to your frie nd, “ I will lend you $20,000 no more than once every three m onths. And I expect you will pay me back within three monthsand certainly before you can borrow more.” You say to anothe r friend, “you can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and make sure that you will find your own place before the three weeks is up”.3.Stick to your limits. You are not responsible for making the o ther person obey the limits. You are only responsible for follo wing the limits yourself. Your friend has repaid $12,500 of his/ her $20,000 and asks for $20,000 more. You say no. He/She gets emotional and then says, “I need this money to cover a b ad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it”.Limit setting is often stressful and painful because people m istakes it for rejection. And limit setting certainly brings guilt. B ear in mind, it doesn’t mean you have given up or quit loving y our friend, lovers, or sibling. It does mean you are expressing that love in a different and more helpful (to both of you) mann er.25. According to the passage, setting limits means__________ _________.A. refusing always to say yes to your friendB. saying no to your friend who turns to youC. making different kinds of friendsD. breaking away fro m your friend26.Once you decide to set limits, you should_______________ _________.A. announce it publicly to othersB. tell your friend about it clearlyC. be responsible for your friendD. begin to help your frie nd27.We can learn from the last paragraph that limit setting____ __________.A. is often misunderstoodB. is actually a kind of reje ctionC. does harm to your friendship D .contains both love and hate28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. About friendshipB. How to make friendsC. Set limits with friendsD. Show your love in a new way参考答案25-28 ABACCOne girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race eve nts. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she d idn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every d ay and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena (赛马场). We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot su n and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted. All o f our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watche d Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish i n first place.My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the fir st fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next on e. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences l ike a bird and I turned him toward the finish line. As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.29. The underlined expression "shown the gate" (paragraph 3 ) most probably means ______.A. told how to enter the arenaB. shown how to make th e horse beautifulC. removed from the competition earlyD. told to enter the ti med-speed events30. When the final race finished, nobody cheered because .A. the audience didn’t like CowboyB. people envied the writerC. the win was unexpectedD. the writer bad run out of t ime31.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇My two daughters and I got into the car to spend our weekend in Florida. Autumn, the elder one, offered to drive. I sat next to her, and Amber sat in back. After setting off, the three of us sang to the radio at the top of our voice.I t was a great trip until the rain poured and the rain was too heavy. “I have to pull over, ” Autumn said. She tried to enter the far right lane (车道) to find a place to stop, but trucks ran fast, making water onto our car. The car was out of control, then worse — it started to move left and right. Autumn fought to control it but it was too late. We ran into a truck. The girls jumped out of the car. My chest felt much pain.“Get out, Mom. Come on！” Amber cried. “I can't,” I said. Autumn took out her cellphone, “There's been an accident. Send an ambulance (救护车)！” Amber and Autumn pulled me out of the car and helped me lie on my back in the grassy area by the roadside. I had to calm myself and looked up. A man held a large umbrella over me and other kind faces appeared above me. A woman helped to treat a cut over Amber's eye. Another woman came close to me and said, “No one in the truck was injured. Help was on the way.” The woman mentioned she was a nurse; the other woman who took care of Amber's cut was an eye specialist. We couldn't have asked for better care.In the hospital the pain in my chest began to disappear. Later, the tests at the hospital made sure we had no serious injuries.

Oh, my goodness, what a large school it was!

Throughout the day, each period brought some new faces I had not seen before. But when my English class came around, I had a surprise: an old classmate! It was Ben, who had left my middle school right after sixth grade. We talked and joked about middle school and the clubs we were in together. My nerves eased (放松) a little.Next was the P E. class. This was the first class that I found without difficulty. Sitting through the boring introduction to the class by the teacher, I started talking to a girl sitting near me.

This girl ended up becoming my best friend. I am so glad that I met her.By the end of that day, I was full of optimism (乐观).
