高一英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解United States health officials are urging people to stop using electronic cigarettes, known as e-cigarettes. The call to action came after such products were linked to health problems. Five deaths have also been reported. E-cigarettes are a popular substitute for smoking products. The electronic devices heat liquid that includes flavoring, nicotine and other chemicals into vapor—very small particles that users breathe in. Nicotine is found in many plants, including tobacco. E-cigarettes or similar devices also can provide THC or other substances to users. THC is the natural chemical present in marijuana(大麻) plants that gives users the mental state known as a "high". E-cigarettes are said to be safer than normal cigarettes because they do not create the cancer-causing byproducts of burning tobacco. Yet health officials say e-cigarette users have reported shortness of breath and other breathing problems, such as coughing and chest pain. Some have been sick to the stomach, felt very tired, suffered weight loss or developed high body temperatures. One report noted that most of the 53 illnesses reported in Illinois and Wisconsin were related to THC vaping(气化) products. But nearly 20 percent of the patients inhaled(吸入)substances like nicotine from e-cigarettes. Most of the reported cases were of young men.The report found that, "Since no single product or substance has been associated with the illness, persons should consider not using e-cigarettes while this investigation is ongoing." Last November, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, reported that "e-cigarette use increased considerably among U.S. middle and high school students during 2017—2018." Among high school students, it found e-cigarette use rose from 220,000 students in 2011 to 3.05 million in 2018.On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA gave a warning to JUUL Labs, maker of the best-selling e-cigarettes. The FDA accused the company of illegally marketing its products as being "safer than cigarettes" without the agency's approval. In a statement, the FDA's acting commissioner said that, "JUUL has ignored the law, and has made some of these statements in school to our nation's youth." A JUUL spokesman said the company is studying the FDA's comments and "will fully cooperate".(1)Which of the following can best describe e-cigarettes?A.Deadly.B.Harmless.C.Infectious.D.Effective.(2)What change will be caused when smokers inhale e-cigarettes containing THC?A.They will be healthier.B.They will lose weight.C.They will feel excited.D.They will be peaceful.(3)What information about JUUL Labs can we get from the last paragraph?A.Students became its main marketing targets.B.FDA didn't agree on its way of promoting its products.C.It completely denied what it was accused of.D.E-cigarettes were invented by it.(4)What can be the best title of the passage?A.Say "No" to cigarettesB.A sharp rise of e-cigarettes use among young people.C.Safer e-cigarettes are needed for health.D.E-cigarettes—a potential killer.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)B(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,美国卫生官员敦促人们停止使用电子烟,电子烟同人们的健康问题有关。

They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children's growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to say to their family members.However, parents often try to choose friends for their children. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice〞is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?Who chooses your friends?Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?Have you got a good friend your parents don't like?6.Who did know them better than their parents in many teenagers’mind?——————————————————————————————7.Who is the most important people in their lives to many teenagers?————————————————————————————————8.Is the communication during friends very important in childen’s growing up?

Her hands were shaking when she came home one day to find an envelope bearing the return address of the exchange program. She had been accepted as an exchange student to Brazil. Holly was excited and a little nervous to know that she was going to spend a whole year in another country. Holly didn't speak Portuguese. She didn't even know anyone who had ever been to Brazil.Fortunately, she had two months to get ready.Gabriel looked out of the airplane window and couldn't believe he was on his way to the United States from his native Argentina. Gabriel was an only child, but he was going to live with an American family that had six children. Gabriel would be living on a farm where sheep and cattle were raised and everyone knew how to ride a horse. He had already studied English for several years.Every year, thousands of students all over the world take part in student exchange programs such as AFS Intercultural Programs, Rotary Youth Exchange and Youth for Understanding. With the aim of promoting(促进)understanding among people all over the world, these non-profit programs offer students a chance to study and live in another country for a certain period of time.Students who have studied abroad report that being an exchange student is an extremely helpful experience. Living in another country,staying with a family and attending school means a good chance to 1ealxl about the country and the culture in ways that can never be experienced as a tourist. Learning another language is an extra benefit. Many former exchange students never lose their love of traveling. They go on to look for chances to travel throughout their lives.11.Why was Holly nervous about being an exchange student?————————————————————————————————————12.How are Holly's and Gabriel'S experiences similar?————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————13.What means the underlined word“benefit〞in the last paragraph in Chinese? ——————————————————————————————————14.How long had Holly to get ready? ——————————————————————————————————15.Who was Gabriel going to live with?——DThe Internet has opened up a whole new on-line world for us to meet, chat and go where we've never been before. But just as inface-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when online.The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes. For anything you are about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person's face ?〞If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face.If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try not to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.If you do decide to tell someone in the chat room about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.It is not polite ________________ such as their age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don't ask such questions.16. What's the best title of the passage?
