（英语）高中英语阅读理解解题技巧及练习题含解析

一、高中英语阅读理解

1．阅读理解

One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this

situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the

past, I struggled with this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I

learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone

you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you

would otherwise have missed out on.

After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common

behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've

"checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another

problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change

from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.

It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to

realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything

that could land you in jail (监狱).

All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions

are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really

listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want

to talk to you even more.

Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of

their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story,

even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the

harder they are to forget.

A. train their working skill B. improve their life quality

C. enrich their social life D. establish their working relationship

【答案】（1）C

（2）C

（3）D

（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文，我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。遇到这种情况是很不舒服的。作者就这一论点表达了自己的观点。

（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“But later I learned that once you know how to keep

those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great

possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities”可知如果在谈话时能打破尴尬的沉默，知道说什么，怎么说，就能为友谊，乐趣和共享活动创造巨大的可能性，就能丰富社交生活。故选C。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say

whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your

mind.”可知习惯性思维让我们表达我们内心所想，意识到你可以说出你心里想说的话，是很有趣的。所以在和别人交流时我们应该自由表达。故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“All of the ‘Oh! That's interesting…’ ‘Hmm, I've never

heard of that’ ‘Hmm, cool!‘ expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove

to the other person that you're really listening.和if you show some interest, they'll hang around

and want to talk to you even more.”听者的赞美之词和他们有兴趣想了解更多的好奇心和关注，是说者最关心的。故选D。

（4）考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的“The more interesting, stranger or more frightening

they are, the harder they are to forget.”可知故事越有趣或越惊险，就越吸引人，听者就越难忘记，这说明了故事在谈话中的重要性。划线词语所在的句子指每个人都知道故事会让对话变得生动有趣，“juice-up conversations”指让对话变得生动有趣，与B项同义。故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇生活类阅读，要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。

2．阅读理解

Forcing waiters and waitresses to survive on tips from customers rather than normal wages is a

pointless, crude, and unique American custom that, in the past several years, a handful of

progressive restaurant owners have attempted to do away with. Danny Meyer, CEO of Union

Square Hospitality Group, is about to join their ranks and has announced that he plans to

gradually stop tipping at the company's 13 restaurants.

What, exactly, is wrong with tipping? As Brian Palmer has explained, more or less it's

everything. To start, leaving a waiter's pay in the hands of customers has a feeling of classism (阶级歧视). And in theory, handing restaurant customers the power to tip is at least supposed to
