高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)模拟试题及解析
一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类
1．阅读理解
Jon Hoffman was sitting at a red light when he saw a man run out of a store carrying a plastic
donation jar full of cash. The Plano, Texas, detective, dressed in plain clothes but wearing his
badge (徽章) and gun, caught the man and pinned him to the hood of his car. But Hoffman had
trouble containing the thief, and they got into a struggle.
"The detective has a martial arts background, and he said he thought the suspect must have a
martial arts background, too, because he was able to break away so easily," a Plano police
spokesperson said.
The detective called out for help as a crowd gathered. Among those watching: Andre Harvey
and Kirby Sample, two day laborers. Harvey did what has become common these days—he took
out his phone and hit record. "I hate to say it, but I thought that this policeman was doing
something illegal," Harvey said. "But when he asked for help, I thought, well, there won't be a
shooting if I get over there in time.” Harvey jumped into action—while he was still recording the
video—as did Sample.
"Harvey caught hold of the suspect's arms, while Kirby seized his legs, and they were able to
get the suspect to the ground to help Detective Hoffman put the handcuffs (手铐) on," said the
police spokesperson. The 27-year-old suspect was charged with resisting arrest and other
offenses. The charity jar he stole held less than $ 50.
"I've been on the wrong side of the law several times in my life," Harvey told WFAA. "It feels
good to be on the right side and do something positive."
After the arrest, the three men got to know each other over steaks and ribs at a local steak
house—Hoffman's treat, as a thank-you. But the rescuers say Hoffman deserves credit too. "It
could have turned real ugly." Sample told the media "He handled himself like a real professional."

2．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a
mass grave. The bodies weren't human. They were feline — ancient cats that had been
mummified(木乃伊化的) and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. "Not one or two here and
there", reported English Illustrated Magazine, "but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a
layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep. " Some of the linen-wrapped cats still looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled
the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were sold as fertilizer. One ship transported about
180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England.
Those were the days of generously funded explorations—that dragged through acres of desert
in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the estates
and museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned
up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get at the good stuff.
Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized.
In the century since then, archaeology has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a
science. Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites' wealth lies in the majority of details
about ordinary folks—what they did, what they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies
are a big part of that.
"They're really displays of daily life," says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. After peering beneath
bandages with x-rays and cataloguing her findings, she created a gallery for the collection — a
