高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1．篇Language as a System of Symbols(符号)Of all systems of symbols, language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said, “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals, ” they feel that the symbol is inherently connected in some way with the things symbolized.1．Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _______. A．have made use of language for centuriesB．use our nervous systems to support languageC．have made various noises stand for any eventsD．can make anything stand for anything by agreement2．What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?A．Different noises may mean different things.B．Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.C．The language we use symbolizes our social positions.D．Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.3．In Paragraph 3 the underlined phrase “take special pains” probably means “_______”. A．try very hard B．take our timeC．are very unhappy D．feel especially painful4．In Paragraph 3, the example of the little boy is used to show that _______.A．adults often learn from their youngB．“pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirtyC．words are not connected with the things they stand forD．people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works【答案】1．D2．B3．A4．D【分析】这是一篇说明文。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1 each year, people play tricks on each other. These tricks are usually silly rather than mean. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s shoelaces to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realise it’s only a joke. Newspapers announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant!”) and report on fake stories (like “UFO” lands in New York City).Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year. On April Fool’s Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens NO. 1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No. 4?The te achers looked and looked. They couldn’t find another chicken. After a few hours, they realised that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They’d been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s Day remains one of my favourite memories from those years.1．What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool’s Day?A．Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool’s Day.B．Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool’s Day.C．Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool’s Day.D．Newspapers often cheat people.2．Why did students set chickens free?A．They wanted to let chickens free. B．They wanted to let chickens run all round the school.C．They wanted to see feathers flying. D．They wanted to play a trick on the teachers. 3．How many jokes did the students play on the teachers?A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.【答案】1．A2．D3．B【分析】这是一篇记叙文。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand.And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese.Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调)．One of the study's authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”．This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr.Kraus said.She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码)of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do.This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role.A single－syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non－Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint, bewilder and rice.The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds.Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study, Patrick C．M.Wong, said it might work both ways.It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.1．Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?A．Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.B．Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.C．Because music training might help people with language study.D．Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.2．The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word“________”．A．created B．spelledC．seemed D．pronounced3．What would be the best title for this passage?A．Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter Than English SpeakersB．Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language StudyC．Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese LearningD．Schools Need to Develop Music Programs【答案】1．B2．D3．B【分析】这是一篇说明文。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇Along the hallway (走廊), I saw mixed expressions on the faces of my students: excited, nervous, and worried.No doubt about it: they were this term’s freshmen. My own first day at high school flashed into my mind.Since our family had ju st moved to the place, I didn’t know anyone at the school. On arriving, I picked up a map and my schedule (日程表). Oh, my goodness, what a large school it was! Nervously, I looked about for where my first class was to be held.When I finally found my class, everyone was talking and laughing together, and I felt so lonely. 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. I found out that her family had just moved here too, and she didn’t know anyone either. As we talked, we discovered that we had a lot in common, and had a lot of classes together. 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).

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。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇A little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox(沙池).He had with him a box of cars and trucks，and a red plastic shovel. In the process of creating roads and tunnels in the sand，he discovered a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.The boy dug around the rock，trying to get it out of the sand. With many struggles，he pushed the rock across the sandbox by using his feet. He was a very small boy and the rock was very huge. When the boy got the rock to the edge of the sandbox，however，he found that he couldn’t roll it up and over the little wall.Determined，the little boy shoved and pushed，but every time the rock tipped(倾斜) and then fell back into the sandbox. Finally，he burst into tears of frustration. All this time the boy’s father watched from his living room window. At the moment his tears fell，a large shadow fell across the boy and the sandbox. It was the boy’s father.Gently but firmly he said，“Son，why didn’t you use all the strength that you had available？” Defeated，the boy answered，“But I did，Daddy. I used all the strength that I had！”“No，son，” said the father kindly.“You didn’t use all the strength you had. You didn’t ask me.” With that the father reached down，picked up the rock，and removed it from the sandbox.D o you have “rocks” in your life that need to be removed？Are you discovering that you don’t have what it takes to lift them？There is one who is always available and willing to give us the strength we need.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇The biggest soccer organization in the U.S. introduces new rules to make the sport safer.The U.S. Soccer Federation announced that players in its teams who are 10 or younger are no longer allowed to head the ball. Players aged from 11 to 13 have limits on how often they can practice heading.The new rules are set to stop kids from getting hurt because of a blow to the head that shakes the brain. Players may get headaches by heading the ball. Even worse, they may also get concussions, which will cause lasting brain damage.Heading the ball can be one of the most dangerous parts of soccer. Sometimes the force of hitting the ball with their heads gives players concussions. But more often, players receive concussions when they jump to head the ball and by accident knock heads with other players or fall and hit their heads on the grass.“More concussions happen during the act of heading than any other action in soccer,” says Dr. Robert Cantu, an expert on brain damage.So far, the new rules are only used by teams that are part of the U.S. Soccer Federation. But the group says it hopes more soccer teams will soon follow its example.Former U.S. soccer star Brandi Chastain is one of the leaders of the activity to ban heading among young soccer players. She welcomes the rule change but wants the rule to include all players under 14.1．The new rules are made to________．A．keep young players from being hurtB．teach young players how to practice headingC．make the U.S. Soccer Federation more famousD．encourage young players to improve their skills2．What is Brandi Chastain’s attitude towards the new rules?A．She is against them. B．She supports them.C．She is unsure about them. D．She doesn’t care about them.3．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．New rules in soccer. B．How to protect young players.C．Brain damage becomes more common. D．The introduction of the U.S. Soccer Federation.【答案】1．A2．B3．A【分析】这是一篇说明文。
