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 jumpe d 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."（1）What made Hoffman call for help when arresting the suspect?
A. He was not on duty.
B. He needed witnesses to support him.
C. He wanted to push the thief into the car.
D. He couldn't control the suspect.
（2）Why did Harvey and Kirby record the scene at the beginning?
A. To follow the fashion.
B. To keep track of the criminal.
C. To record the detective's violence.
D. To avoid being involved in the incident.
（3）What can be inferred about Harvey?
A. He was ready to violate the law.
B. He might have had some illegal behaviour.
C. He was out of work at that time.
D. He had a good martial arts background.
（4）What is Harvey and Sample's attitude towards Hoffman?
A. Appreciative.

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
bridge between people today and those of long ago. "You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, Oh, King So-and-So had a pet. I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us."
（1）Which of the following words has the closest meaning to "peddled"(paragraph 1)? A. modernized B. displayed C. illustrated D. demonstrated
（2）Why was archaeology once referred to as a "treasure hunt "(paragraph 3)?
A. In the royal tombs, there were many treasures made of silver and gold.
B. Animal mummies could be made into fertilizer which is very valuable.
C. It was hard to find animal mummies since they were buried under dirt.
D. People sought the remains of ancient Egypt merely for their material value.
（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Salima Ikram?
A. She wishes to establish the continuity of pets over history.
B. She believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the past.
C. She wants to identify the King's personal belongings and classify them.
D. She doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains.
（4）This article probably encourages the readers to _____________.
A. value the past by studying the remains left behind by our ancestors
B. make full use of the remains our ancestors have left behind
C. understand that animal mummies are more important than gold and masks
D. become more sensitive to the ancient lifestyle of our ancestors
【答案】（1）B
（2）D
（3）B
（4）A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，自从1888年在埃及发现了猫动物的木乃伊之后，大量的皇家墓穴被挖掘，成千上万的木乃伊被运往世界各地，以攫取物质利益。后来考古学家不再只是寻宝，而是把它作为一门科学研究。因为木乃伊展示了古埃及人的日常生活。正如古物学家萨利玛·伊克拉姆所说，木乃伊的研究是现代社会和过去的联系的桥梁。（1）考查词义猜测。根据第一段中"Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were sold as fertilizer."可知，peddled后的"to tourists for change"即"把最好的给游客来换取零钱"，可知，此处的peddled是"兜售"给游客以换取零钱，可知peddle就是向他人炫耀从而售出，故选B。
（2）考查推理判断。第二段叙述了"最初考古是为了寻找皇家陵墓，寻找华丽的黄金和彩绘面具来装饰欧洲和美洲的地产和博物馆。成千上万的来自古埃及的动物木乃伊出现在埃及各地的宗教场所，但很少有人研究它们"。可知，考古就是寻宝，为了物质上的价值。以及第三段中的“ In the century since then, archaeology has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science.”从那以后的一个世纪里，考古学已不再是寻宝，而是一门科学，可知，他们寻找古埃及的遗迹仅仅是为了他们的物质价值。分析选项可知D项符合题意，故选D。
（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“she created a gallery for the collection —a bridge
between people today and those of long ago.”可知，Salima Ikram把她的发现进行分类之后，她为这些收藏品创建了一个画廊——一座连接今天的人和很久以前的人的桥梁。以及她的话"You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, Oh, King So-and-So had a pet. I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us." "你看着这些动物木乃伊，突然你说，哦，国王某某养了一只宠物。我有一只宠物。古埃及人与我们之间的距离不再是5000多年前的事了，而是变得更加清晰，离我们更近了。"由此可推断出她认为研究这些遗迹有助于把现代社会与过去联系起来。故选B。
（4）考查推理判断。本文主要叙述了古代埃及的木乃伊展示了古代埃及人的日常生活，是了解它们的途径，有助于在现代社会与过去的之间建立一座桥梁。通过研究它们可以让我们正确的评估过去。分析选项可知A符合题意，故选A。
【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
3．阅读理解
It was only after her death from Bright's disease on May 15, 1886 that Emily Dickinson enjoyed recognition for her poetic accomplishment. A limited volume of her works appeared in1890, but it was Thomas H. Johnson's release of her complete body of poetry that made her works receive real acclaim. He published 1,775 of her poems in 1955 in a volume entitled The Poems of Emily Dickinson.
Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, MA in 1830. The Dickinson family was well known in the community for their contribution to politics and education. Dickinson lived most of her life with her grandfather who was famous for having founded the Amherst Academy in1814 and later Amherst College in 1821.
Emily Dickinson led a reclusive life, but her childhood was a happy one. She had the privilege of being educated at some of the most outstanding women schools in her time and devoted herself to reading all kinds of books.
It was during her college years that Emily started writing. Some of her poems were published with the help of her female friends. However, the first serious attempt at having her poems published failed for her being rejected by The Atlantic magazine. This led the selfconscious poetess to believe that the public would never care for her works, and thus she never attempted to have any of her works published again. After the Civil War, Dickinson withdrew from society and had little contact outside of Amherst.
Dickinson was very concerned with the subject of nature. Her writings are complex, and for many years scholars have searched for romantic inspiration, but have not yet understood her works. What is clear, however, is that her works can't just simply describe something in terms of a narrative style.
Without doubt, Dickinson's works have greatly influenced and continue to influence modern poetry. In her time, her writing style was unique given that it included the use of dashes and capitalized nouns. None of her works rhymed, and she used unusual comparisons when referring to events and situations. This unconventional method of writing has made her one of the most
innovative poets of the 19th century.
（1）Which of the following best explains "acclaim" underlined in the first paragraph? A. Apology. B. Enthusiasm. C. Approval. D. Reference.（2）What did Dickinson do during her childhood?
A. She studied in good schools.
B. She passed her poems to magazines.
C. She spent much time on politics and education.
D. She practiced writing with the help of her friends.
（3）What do we know about Dickinson's poems?
A. They are easy for readers to understand.
B. They make much difference to modern poetry.
C. They inspire modern naturalists to study nature.
D. They rhyme well and include many comparisons.
（4）What can be the best title for the text?
A. Causes of Emily Dickinson's Failure
B. Features of Emily Dickinson's Poems
C. Reasons for Emily Dickinson's Becoming World Famous
D. A Brief Introduction to Emily Dickinson and Her Works
【答案】（1）C
（2）A
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇人物传记，介绍了美国传奇诗人艾米莉·狄金森以及她的作品，她的诗绝大多数是在她死后才出版，并被世人所知，名气极大。
（1）考查词义猜测，根据第一段中的“but it was Thomas H. Johnson's release of her complete body of poetry that made her works receive real acclaim.”是托马斯·H·约翰逊发表了她完整的诗作，使她的作品获得了真正的好评。可知选C。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“ She had the privilege of being educated at some of the most outstanding women schools in her time and devoted herself to reading all kinds of books. ”她有幸在她那个时代最杰出的女子学校里受教育,专心阅读各种各样的书，可知选A。（3）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“Without doubt, Dickinson's works have gre atly influenced and continue to influence modern poetry. ”无疑，狄金森的作品对现代诗歌产生了很大的影响，并在继续影响。可知选B。
（4）考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了美国传奇诗人艾米莉·狄金森以及她的作品，故选D。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇人物类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
4．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers' questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn't pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together.
"Why don't you travel with us?" one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London. It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel's swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I've backpacked alone across South Africa, sky-dived from 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the U.S. with no job lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn't picked up the phone.
（1）By "My stomach was in knots" (in paragraph 1), the author most likely means that she was ______.
A. sick of riding on a bumpy bus
B. nervous of meeting strangers
C. upset about the sudden change
D. sorry about the impractical plan
（2）Which of the following best describes the backpackers the author met?
A. Courageous but disrespectful.
B. Jobless and poorly educated.
C. Warmhearted and trustworthy.
D. Homeless but lighthearted.
（3）The author's sixth sense told her that ______.
A. she would get along with the backpackers
B. it might cause trouble to have a swim
C. she ought to stay away from the backpackers
D. it could add excitement to get a free ride
（4）What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Most of the backpackers became the author's lifelong friends.
B. The author gathered the courage to be a fulltime backpack traveler.
C. The woman missed the phone call with the purpose of traveling alone.
D. The author considered it the best decision of her life to travel on her own.
【答案】（1）C
（2）C
（3）A
（4）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者原本与朋友约好去旅游，却被放了鸽子，她决定一个人去。途中她遇见了五个背包客，这些背包客邀请她一起去旅游，她和这些人一起经历了美好的几天，并和他们成了好朋友。
（1）考查句义猜测。根据第一段中的"My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn't pick up and I had no other way to reach her."可知作者被朋友放鸽子了，被放鸽子肯定是失望的，故选C。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"‘Why don't you travel with us?’ one of the backpackers offered"可知这些背包客邀请作者一起旅游，说明他们很热心；根据" They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could"可知这些背包客旅游经验很丰富，所以是值得信任的，综合选C。
（3）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes."可知这些背包客邀请作者一起旅游时，她的本能也就是第六感说了"好"，也就是说她的第六感让她相信她能和这些背包客相处的很好，才会答应他们的邀请，故选A。（4）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的"The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone."可知作者觉得自己选择一个人旅游让自己看到了更大的世界，以及最后一段中的"Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn't picked up the phone."可知作者庆幸她的朋友没有接她的电话。由此可以判断作者认为自己选择一个人去旅行是一个很好的决定，故选D。

5．阅读理解
My First Day of School
Fear started taking over, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登记)in the local high school in my new town.
I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. "Yes." His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn't have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn't actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn't use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.
It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, "It's still fourth period."
"But the bell just rang," I said.
Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, "That is the lunch bell, young man."
I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn't have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn't have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn't so bad.

6．阅读理解
Generally speaking, people like those who have a good sense of humor.
Sometimes a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Brian's being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes, the boss was, as Brian entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室): everyone was hard at work. Brian's boss came up to him. Suddenly, Brian forced a smile and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm Brian. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Doesn't the early bird get the worm?"
The room exploded in laughter. The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Brian had saved his job, with the only tool that could win—a laugh.
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance (忍受力) than people in any other forum.
（1）Brian was late for his job because ________.
A. he got up late
B. he was seriously ill
C. he was caught in a traffic jam
D. he was busy applying for a new job
（2）What can we infer about humor?
A. It is the early bird.
B. It is important in our lives.
C. Brian often saved his job with humor.
D. It can solve racial discriminations.
（3）What does the underlined phrase "clamped off" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. charge
B. tried to set
C. gave up
D. tried to hold back
（4）What can we learn from the text?
A. Many people lack in a sense of humor.
B. Brian was supposed to arrive at his office at 8: 30.
C. It wasn't the first time that Brian came late for work.
D. Humor is the most interesting way of solving problems.
【答案】（1）C
（2）B
（3）D
（4）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，上班族Brian因为遇到了交通阻塞上班迟到，而在此之前他已经收到了迟到的最后通牒，因此这次很可能被辞退。当他在9：35分时走进办公室，他的老板走向了他，突然，布莱恩强颜欢笑，伸出手来。"你好!""他说。"我是布莱恩。我正在申请一份工作，据我所知，这份工作在35分钟前才开始招聘。早起的鸟儿有虫
吃吗?"于是办公室都爆发出了笑声，他通过一点幽默化解了这次危机。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job.”可知Brian上班迟到是因为遇到了交通阻塞，故选C。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“Brian had saved his job, with the only tool that could win—a laugh.”可知布莱恩保住了他的工作，用的是唯一能赢的工具——笑声。即可推测幽默在生活中是很重要的，故选B。
（3）考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“The room exploded in laughter. The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office.”可知房间里哄堂大笑，因此老板也是只能强忍住笑，走回他的办公室。故可知划线部分单词意思为"努力忍住；抑制住"，故选D。
（4）考查主旨大意。根据第二段中的“Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job.”可知Brian在上班路上遇到了交通堵塞，就在他收到上班迟到的最后通牒后不久。可知这不是Brian第一次上班迟到了，故选C。

7．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
At first, Michael Surrell didn't see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors' home. He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house, when they got a call from one of his daughters: "The house next door is on fire!" He went to investigate. That's when he saw two women and a girl panic-stricken on their doorway.
"The baby's in there!" one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside. "The baby" was 8-year-old Tiara, the woman's granddaughter.
Entering the burning house was like "running into a bucket of black paint," Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to struggle blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe. The conditions would have been risky for anyone, but for Surrell, who has lung disease, they were life-threatening. After a few minutes in the smoke-filled house, he withdrew outside to catch his breath.
"Where is Tiara?" he asked desperately. "The second floor," The woman shouted back. Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time. The darkness was overwhelming. Yet because the house had a similar design to his, Surrell found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He was already out of breath. Then a soft but distinct moan appeared. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. Finally, he touched something. A shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Tiara into his arms. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness. The next thing he knew, he was at the front door, then outside.
Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later, having suffered severe burns. Tiara was released from the hospital after a few days. "It's a small price to pay," Surrell says. "I'd do it again
in a heartbeat. Wouldn't give it a second thought."
（1）What did Surrell do at the scene of the fire?
A. Called his daughter.
B. Parked his car to safety.
C. Rang the fire department.

A. How special the house was.
B. How dangerous the situation was.
C. How Surrell suffered lung disease.
D. How Surrell ran back outside.
（3）How did Surrell manage to find Tiara eventually?
A. By feeling with the aid of her sound.
B. By answering to Tiara's loud crying.
C. By shouting her name desperately.

（4）What can be inferred about Surrell from the text?
A. He is unwilling to talk about the rescue again.
B. He is disappointed to suffer several burns.
C. He will do the same without hesitation.
D. He will think twice before acting.
【答案】（1）D
（2）B
（3）A
（4）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，邻居家起火，小女孩被困在里面，Surrell奋不顾身地冲进燃烧的大火，最终把女孩救了出来。当Surrell在医院里醒过来时说他以后会毫不犹豫地做同样的事情。

8．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Sally Dawly is a woman from Auburn, California. Over the last three and a half years, the anti-littering woman has spent most of her free time picking up cigarette butts (烟头) from the streets of her home city.
Called the "Butt Lady" by her local community, Dawly began her mission to rid the streets of her city of cigarette butts in October, 2014. The woman looked for cigarette butts, picked them up and threw them in the trash. To keep a count of how many butts she picks up, the Butt Lady has been using a tablet, and earlier this month, she hit a historic milestone—one million cigarette butts.
"I got tired of going on my walks and seeing cigarette butts everywhere," Sally Dawly said. "I'm just shocked that I had to pick up so many. I've ever picked up 3,000 butts in one day," she said. "Don't throw away your butts; better yet, stop smoking."
With so many cigarette butts littering the streets, can one person's efforts really make a difference? Surprisingly, the answer seems to be yes. Soon after the Butt Lady of Auburn started her mission and word of her efforts spread, cigarette cans started appearing around bars and restaurants in the city. Members of the local community even came out to cheer her on as she approached her one-million-butt milestone.
Sally knows her city's cigarette butt littering problem won't be solved anytime soon, but she hopes her work will inspire people to at least think twice before dropping cigarette butts in the streets. She has decided to continue cleaning up after irresponsible smokers, and already has a new milestone in her sights—two million cigarette butts.
Word of the Butt Lady's efforts to keep the streets cigarette butt-free has reached neighboring communities as well, and CBS Sacramento reports that other cities have started seeking her help as well.

A. To entertain the crowds.
B. To monitor the smokers.

D. To record the number of butts.
（2）How did Sally Dawly feel when picking up cigarette butts?

A. She picks up nearly 3,000 cigarette butts every day.
B. She will work in other cities in California in the future.
C. She has set a new goal of picking up two million cigarette butts.
D. She picked up one million cigarette butts with members of her community.
（4）What is the text mainly about?

9．阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Losing a wallet is one of those careless acts most of us have come across, at some point or the other in our lives. While most of us tend to move on after mourning over the lost necessities, there are a few lucky ones who get them back, with the help of the police or the generosity of the person who finds it.
And then there is Hunter Shamatt, who not only got back his wallet but with some added happiness that was tagged along!
Hunter was on his way to attend his sister's wedding on a Las Vegas-bound flight when he realized that he has misplaced his wallet, sometime during the journey. Hunter's family reached out to the Frontier flight to enquire if someone had handed it over to them. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the missing wallet.
But wait. The story was far from over. Just a week after Hunter's sister's wedding, he received a package in his mail. And guess what? There was his wallet! Surprisingly, the wallet was not the only thing that was inside the package. It also had a handwritten note for Hunter which turned out to be a bonus! The piece of paper read,
"Hunter, Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver —row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall. Thought you might want it back. All the best.
P.S. I rounded your cash up to an even $100, so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. HAVE FUN!!!"
Moved by the touching gesture, Hunter's mom, Jeannie Shamatt, decided to write a post on Facebook giving a detailed description of the incident. She also urged everyone to share the post as she would like to meet and greet the person behind the act of kindness, personally.
Now, thanks to the astonishing power of social media, the post finally reached the man behind the note. The man was identified as Todd Brown and it was one of his co-workers who made sure Jeannie Shamatt's post reaches his colleague. Jeannie turned to Facebook again to thank Brown and his family for restoring her faith in humanity.
"I try to teach my children to do the right things in life, help people when you can regardless of the outcome. This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything. We hear a lot of bad news but not enough good news. I personally want to thank Todd Brown and his wife for restoring faith that there are amazing people out there."

10．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
It was rainy, and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn's house. But she had insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.
So here I was, reluctantly making the two-hour journey through fog that hung like veils. By the time I saw how thick it was near the summit, I'd gone too far to turn back.
Nothing could be worth this, I thought as I inched along the dangerous highway.
"I'll stay for lunch, but I' m heading back down as soon as the fog lifts," I announced when I arrived.
"But I need you to drive me to the garage to pick up my car," Carolyn said, "Could we at least do that?"
"How far is it?" I asked.
"About three minutes," she said, "I'll drive—I'm used to it."
After ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her anxiously. "I thought you said three minutes."
She grinned. "This is a detour."
Turning down a narrow track, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black-green evergreens towered over us. Gradually, the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind.
Then we turned a comer and stopped—and I gasped in amazement.
From the top of the mountain, sloping for several acres across the mountain side and valleys, were rivers of flowers in numerous colors. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside.
A series of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?
As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, we saw a sign that read: "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking."
The first answer was: "One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain." The second was: "One at a Time." The third: "Started in 1958."
As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen. I could scarcely speak. "She changed the world." I finally said, "one bulb (球茎) at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it."
The wonder of it would not let me go. "Imagine," I said, "if I'd had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?"
Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. "Start tomorrow," she said. "Better yet, start today."（1）What was the weather like when the author drove to visit her daughter?
A. It was snowing.
B. It was foggy.
C. It was freezing.
D. It was sunny.（2）What can be inferred about the daughter?
A. She told a white lie to her mother.
B. She was an experienced driver.
C. She didn't know the way very well.
D. She knew everything about the woman.
（3）The mother began to enjoy herself when ________.
A. they were driving in the car

C. they were on their way back
D. they were walking in the woods
（4）Which of the following can best describe the owner of the property?
A. Crazy and silly.
B. Determined and persistent.
C. Brave and careful.
D. Beautiful and courageous.
（5）What do you think the mother will do after this visit?

高一英语阅读理解题20套(带答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Even a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say. "It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity（强度）activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial," said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research. Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable. For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together to give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message "sit less and move more and more often". However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time. Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested moving more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor measured in the study. "This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits," he said. （1）Which of the following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do? A.lying on the sofa reading. B.Doing a little gentle gardening. C.Going out to hike with friends. D.Playing basketball sometimes. （2）What can we know about the research? A.It lasted about 8 years. B.The researchers admitted they used fake data. C.The participants didn't include younger people. D.Some participants died because of doing too much physical activity （3）What is the author's attitude towards the researchers' conclusion? A.Doubtful

新闻报道类 （I）★★★ MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border（边界）to go to church on a Sunday （安全）rules. cost a US citizen ＄10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church. There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings. As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs（海关）station in this are is closed on Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally（非法）. Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint. Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said. 1．We learn from the text that Richard Albert is .

高一英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK's first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology? One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost ￡ 1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK's first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn't all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access, with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second. The wider application is to support connected equipment on the "internet of things" -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other. Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole. Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5 G phone well before 5 G becomes widely available in the next couple of years. （1）Why does Prof William Webb say "the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes"?

Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it.
