高考英语阅读理解训练及参考答案高考英语阅读理解训练1：Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways.Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.Food can also have a specific meaning，and play a significant role in a family or cultures celebrations or traditions.The foods we eat —and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread，whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table，is a common symbol of togetherness.Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests.Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread，so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations.In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year.In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita.A coin is put into the cake，which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child，and food can play a significant role.In China，when a baby is one month old，families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includesgiving redcolored eggs to guests.In many cultures，round foods such as grapes，bread，and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.*大意：*讲述了食物在不同文化中的作用。

1课时作业Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·天津卷)How to Use a Modern Public LibraryHas it been a while since your last visit to a public library? If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better.It's been years since they were dusty little rooms with books. They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge, meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business.Check out a book. While libraries still loan out (出借) books, you'll find it easier to get a copy of whatever you're looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries.Via such networks, libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles.Once the book you've requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you by e-mail, so you can pick it up.Check out other items. The library is now a multimedia zone, loaded with information in many formats (载体形式)．You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. If a popular magazine you want isn't offered and the library keeps a list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown.Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted to various age groups. Perhaps you'd like to learn a language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a language group you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading opportunities.Your library might be able to accommodate you.And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book.Start a business using the help of your local library. If you want to have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce (商会) and government agencies, and they will offer printing, faxing and database services you need.1．Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by________.A．sharing their books on the InternetB．giving access to online reading at a library branchC．sending a needed book to a library branch nearbyD．making the checkout procedures diverse2.

masterful escape artist.Lily Bit,on the other hand,did exactly as she was told,never straying,always staying close to home...except when she came under the influence of Lucky.Whenever the two got out together,they could be seen out of sights often staying away for hours.More often than not,they’d arrive home near suppertime,covered in mud and leaves andsmelling to high heaven from their afternoon outing in the woods.I remember one such occasion when they’d once again mysteriously escaped,except this time, they returned clean and no worse for wear.It wasn’t until a few days later that we learned why.My wife ran into our neighbor Carl who lived a few houses down from us.“I saw your two dogs the other day,”Carl said with a smile,“Oh,yes?I’m so sorry.They’d been so good lately,so it was such a surprise when they got out.I sure hope they didn’t cause any trouble.”my wife replied,“Oh,no,no trouble at all.Did you have any idea where they went?”“No,”my wife answered.“They attended my dog’s funeral(葬礼)”Carl said sadly.“What?”Ann exclaimed,“Oh,no.I didn’t know Toby had died.“Yep,it died a couple days ago.I was burying him in the back lot when your two dogs came running up.They sat down not far from me while.I finished burying him,then they left.”“Wow that’s amazing!”my wife replied.“Toby was Lily Bit’s father,you know.”“No,I didn’t know that,”Carl replied,“but I guess that explains why she felt like she needed to be there.She had to say her final goodbye.”4.What words can best explain the meaning of the word“straying”underlined in Para.1?A.Wandering away.B.Staying stillC.Shouting loudly.D.Disobeying impolitely.5.What difference between Lucky and Lily Bit is suggested in the first paragraph?A.Their abilities were different.B.Their hobbies were different.C.Their

learning from dogs,D.To think highly of his two dogs.CTwo years ago,Kursat Ceylan was in New York to give a talk about disability rights at theU.N..Blind since birth,the Turkish man was struggling to find his hotel,holding a cane in one hand and pulling his luggage with the other.“Not surprisingly,all of a sudden I bumped into a pole,”he says.“It was a little bit bloody.”The problem with a cane is that,while it can tell you what's on the grounds it doesn't help with objects at the body or head level.It wasn't the first time Ceylan had run into something,injuring himself.“I have no problem with my scars,they make me more handsome I guess,”Ceylan says, laughing.“But I don’t need new ones.”With WeWalk,a new smart cane,Ceylan hopes to help other blind people navigate their environments more easily.The cane uses an ultrasonic(超声波)sensor which detects objects at body or head level and gives a warning vibration.WeWalk users pair the cane with their smartphones and then use the cane's touchpad to access features like voice assistant or navigation.Before leaving home,they can plug their destination into Google Maps and get spoken directions as they walk.In the future,Ceylan hopes to connect WeWalk with public transportation and ridesharing services.The GPS-and voice technology-enabled cane can tell users what’s around them—they’re passing a McDonald’s,they’re at Exit D of the subway station.An ultrasonic sensor detects objects at body or head level and gives a warning vibration.Assistive technology is often expensive for blind people,says Eelke Folmer,a computer science professor at the University of Nevada!Reno.But developers fail to realize their devices are out of reach for many blind people.To Folmer,the price point—$500——sets the WeWalk cane apart from other technologies.Ceylan sees WeWalk as part of an attempt to help blind people achieve greater freedom of movement,which he believes will give them greater access to education and jobs.The canes are already having an impact on users,Ceylan says.He recently received an email from a teacher in Ireland who had become blind as an adult.He'd been depressed and housebound.But since gettinga WeWalk cane,“your device forced me to go out.It became my anti-depressant.”he wrote.8.Why is a story about Kursat Ceylan given at the beginning of the text?A.To stress the difficulty caused by blindness.B.To show his reason for developing his cane.C.To indicate the problems with present canes.D.To show his positive and humorous character.9.What can WeWalk do at present according to the text?A.Provide fast Internet access.B.Start conversations with users.C.Tell users what is around them.D.Connect with ridesharing services.10.What does Folmer think is the advantage of WeWalk over other assistive technologies?A.It is easily affordable,B.It is easily controllable.C.It works better for users,D.It looks more attractive.11.What is the text mainly about?A.The increasing demand for smart canes.B.A blind man’s devotion to smart canes.C.A smart cane’s effects on blind people.D.An assistive technology for the blind.DWhen you think of a national park,you generally picture fresh air and wild animals,right?Well, now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called"the Tube"to your definition, because London,England has signed up to be the first"National Park City."London was established by the Romans around2,000years ago and has been continually inhabited(居住于)since then.In all that time,however,nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings,which means London already has a much lower urban density(密度)than most of the worlds cities.Nowadays about a third of the city is green space,In July2019,London announced its willingness to become the world’s first National Park City.Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving50%green space by the year2050by connecting and expanding public parks,greening up unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses,fixing some green roofs on existing buildings and even cutting holes in fences for wildlife to pass through."Inspired by the aims and values of our precious rural national parks,the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term strategic thinking,"Daniel Raven-Ellison,who began the campaign to make London a National Park City six years ago said in a press release."We've been doing that in London forcenturies,which is why London is so green and diverse."London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York,which have10%and27%greenspace, respectively.But that doesn't mean it's not possible——the National Park City Foundation hopes to employ25more cities in addition to London by the year2025.Glasgow,Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both currently considering becoming National Park Cities.12.What makes London more likely to become a national park city than other cities?A.Its smaller population.B.The government’s efforts.C.Its less dense urbanization,D.Its citizens’great support.13.Where can we find the data on London’s measures to achieve its goal?A.In Paragraph1.B.In Paragraph2.C.In Paragraph3.D.In Paragraph4.14.What is Daniel Raven-Ellison trying to talk about in the fourth paragraph?A.London’s long-term strategic thinking.B.The significance of London’s campaign.C.The effects of national parks on London.D.The resources of London’s green space.15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Trying to be a national park city is turning new trend.B.National park cities are springing up around the world.C.It is so easy for London to become a national park city.D.National park cities are making improvements to our life.高中英语专项训练《阅读理解》(一)答案A【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B B【答案】4.A 5.C 6.B7.DC【答案】8.B9.C10.A11.D

高考英语阅读专项练习附参考答案高考英语阅读专项练习1：Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself.Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself.Either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky.Sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our Grandmas think were great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics.but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves.If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge.it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own minds picture of yourself.This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think.Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about US.Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be.Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes.That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day.Dont allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself.Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task.If you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor.If you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice.If you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.But remember, just because you think it doesnt mean its true.The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities.Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image.When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way.Good luck!41.You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.A.dare to challenge yourselfB.feel it hard to change yourselfC.are unconfident about yourselfD.have a high opinion of yourself42.According to the passage, our serf-images _________.A.have positive effectsB.are probably untrueC.are often changeableD.have different functions43.How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?A.To keep a different image of others.B.To make your life successful.C.To understand your own world.D.To change the way you think.44.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to prepare for your success.B.How to face challenges in your life.C.How to build a positive self-image.D.How to develop your good qualities.45.Who are the intended readers of the passage?A.Parents.B.Adolescents.cators.D.People in general.阅读专项练习参考答案：41—45CBDCB高考英语阅读专项练习2：What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you havehad a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.46. We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.learning better at school shows power in your jobthe better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career.learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs.we should think about how to find our career47. From the passage we learn that if a students school performance is not good, he will _____.A. have no hope in his future workB. be hopeful to find a suitable jobC. regret not having worked harder at schoolD. have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work48. All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting except _________.A. mathematicsB. EnglishC. historyD. technical drawing49. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “_________”.A. heavy- handedB. the bestC. importantD. skilled50. The passage mainly discusses ___________.A. The relationship between school performance and careerB. how to get a jobC. How to show strengths in your workD. working experience and knowledge at school阅读专项练习参考答案：46- 50 BDCAA。

Europe’s most extensive mountain range has becomedefined by its world-class ski resorts, regular host to theWinter Olympics. But until the mid 1800s, the Alps were1 summer playground. Immortalized by artistssuch as Turner and Sargent, and beloved of Grand Tourtravelers and a golden era of summit-vanquishingmountaineers, the Alps were where summer was at. During the calendar’s colder months, British travelers were heading to Europe’s southern coastlines, 2 (seek) water cures and Cote d’Azur winter sunshine.Then seasonal habits shifted. Monied Victorian travelers were tempted to winter in the Alps’ cosy, well-catered chalets, 3 (famous) led by enterprising St Moritz hotelier Johannes Badrutt, 4 offered tohost the first have-a-go snow season tourists from England. But it was the advent of affordable package tourism5 the mid 1900s that sealed the deal for summer supremacy in Europe’s beach resorts. But is the direction of travel once again on the move? “More and more, clients are seeking out Alpine holidays during the summer months,” says Carolyn Addison, head of product at luxury travel company Black Tomato. “People are swerving the crowds in peak winter season and6 (look) at summertime in the Alps to be immersed in the mountain air, with plenty of ways to be active in nature. We’re seeing a surge in demand for slow travel, relishing the outdoors and escaping the increasingly baking summer heat in other European destinations.”The company says that rooms booked in the Dolomites almost tripled from 2021 to 2022. And while 2021 bookings were a mix of summer and winter stays, for 2022, almost all were for summer. The Alps — like many of Europe’s wilderness areas and national parks — 7 (benefit) from a pandemic-led boom.“We’ve seen an increase in the8 (popular) of summer travel to the mountains over the last few years,” says Joanna Laforge, co-owner of regional specialist tour operator Ski France. “It increased dramatically after Covid-19, with French clientele looking for holiday options when travel 9 (restrict), meaning the idea of open space, fresh air and a change of pace in the mountains proved very popular.

AMemory is an incredibly important part of our lives, allowing us to store and retrieve information about the world around us. Unfortunately, many of us experience memory difficulties in our daily lives. Luckily, there are several techniques that can help improve memory. Here are a few:- Use Mnemonic Devices: Mnemonic devices are memory tools that help us remember certain pieces of information. For example, you might use the acronym HOMES to remember the names of the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior). Another example is the phrase “My very eager mother just served us nine pizzas” to remember the order of the planets in our solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto).-Repetition: Repetition is the act of repeating a piece of information. This technique is particularly useful for remembering short-term information. If you need to remember a phone number or a name, repeating it several times to yourself can help you commit it to memory. - Visualization: Visualization is the process of creating mental images to assist with memory. For example, if you need to remember a grocery list, you might create mental images of the items on the list. You could picture an apple in your mind, then a carton of eggs, then a loaf of bread, and so on.-Organization: Organizing information can also help improve memory.This might mean grouping similar items together, as in creating categories for different types of information. For example, if you are trying to remember a list of vocabulary words, you might group them together by similar meanings.- Sleep: Getting enough sleep is important for memory consolidation, the process of transferring short-term memories to long-term storage. Without sufficient consolidation, memories may be lost over time.-Exercise: Exercise has been shown to improve memory and cognitive function. A study conducted by the University of British Columbia found that regular aerobic exercise increases the size of the hippocampus, a brain region associated with memory.By using these techniques, you can improve your memory and ensure that important information is not forgotten.1.

高考英语阅读理解训练题1【future】Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino. The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993.That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.1.El Nino is known as ______ .A.the changing of the weather in southern AfricaB.the warming of waters in the Pacific OceanC.the weather which brings drought(旱灾)to AfricaD.the weather phenomenon(现象)that brings heavy rains to Africa 2.Scientists study El Nino in order that ______ .A.they can provide a kind of early warning to the place that will suffer from droughtB.they can tell why Zimbabwe has little or no rainC.they can do some research work in this field.D.they can put all this information into their computers.3.Which of the following is true according to the article?A.Scientists come to understand how El Nino appears.B.Three scientists from the U.S.A. work on this subject.C.Southern Africa suffered a serious drought and many people died from hunger.D.El Nino has something to do with Zimbabwe's crops.4.Which of the following is not true according to the article?A.The computer is used in this research work.B.Scientists know when an El Nino appears by means of computer program.C.The scientists published their results of the research work.D.Nature is the name of the article written recently by the scientists. 5.Choose the best title for this article.A.Appearance of El Nino Predictable(可预报的)B.Drought in ZimbabweC.Early warning systemD.Weather in Africa 答案：BADDA。

高考英语阅读理解训练附参考答案高考英语阅读理解训练1：Life in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window.These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach.Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch.Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone.They never touch anything unless theyre eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass.How does an animal become seethrough? Its trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light.Light typically travels in a straight line.But some materials slow and scatter(散射)light, bouncing it away from its original path.Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks.Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesnt absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping.Thatmeans a transparent object doesnt look very different from the surrounding air or water.You dont see it—you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light.But a transparent animal doesnt have pigments, so its tissues wont absorb light.According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy.The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials—skin, fat, and more —and light moves through each at a different speed.Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters.Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering.Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat.Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be seethrough.Others build a large, clear mass of nonliving jellylike(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it.Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does.They need to look uniform.But how theyre doing it is still unknown.One thing is clear：for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process.When they die, they turn a nontransparent milky white.*大意：你见过透明生物吗?*介绍了透明的海洋生物。
