阅读理解日常生活类单元练习题(含答案)经典

一、英语阅读理解日常生活类（含答案详细解析）

1．阅读下列短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项

Recently I had a trip to Sydney with my parents. We visited the Wildlife Park.

The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals. Some are native（当地的） to Australis and can only be found there. There are more than 500 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas（考拉）and crocodiles（鳄鱼）. They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo. In zoos, most of the animals are in cages（笼子）.

We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We could touch and feel them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly（令人想拥抱的）. Although we couldn't carry koalas, I could take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir（纪念品） of my holiday in Sydney.

The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater crocodiles and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are very big and scary（吓人的）with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them. There was also a bird show. The keepers（饲养员）showed us different species（种类）of birds. I saw an old parrot（鹦鹉）. It could "talk" and made a great impression on me.

I enjoy the trip very much. There was so much to see.

【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题、推断题，细节题要注意从文中寻找答案；推断题需要联系上下文，推断出需要的信息。

2．阅读下列材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

In the park, you see a group of people, all looking up at the sky. Without thinking about it, you look upwards, too. Why? In the concert, someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in. You do, too. Why?

Sometimes we feel we are acting correctly when we do the same as others. The more people follow an idea, the better or truer we think the idea is. It's the social proof （社会认同感） that works.

The scientist Asch carried out an experiment. It shows how social proof can influence us. In a room, a man is shown Line 1, and next to it are three lines （A, B, C）. A is longer, C is shorter and B is as long as Line 1. He must tell which of the three lines is as long as Line 1. When the man is alone, he gives the correct answer B. Then, five other men enter the room, and each of them gives the answer C as they were told to. Now the man changes his idea and gives the answer C. Asch got the same result many times among different subjects （实验对象）.

Why do we act like this? Well, in the past, following others was a way to keep from danger. Suppose that 5000 years ago you were hunting （打猎）with friends. Suddenly, they all ran away. What would you have done? Would you have stayed? No, you would have run, too. We are descendants （后代） of those who copied others' action. It is so deeply planted in our mind that we still use it now.

Social proof has special power. The advertising industry, for example, often makes use of it. So be capful whenever a company says its product is "the most popular".

（1）At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by ________.

A. telling a story

B. giving examples

C. answering questions

D. showing a map （2）According to Paragraph 3, the experiment by Asch shows ________.

A. following others is always right

B. social proof may change people's ideas

C. it's difficult to carry out the experiment

D. people can study better if they are alone

（3）The underlined word "It" in Paragraph g refers to ________.

A. running with others

B. hunting with friends

C. copying others' action

D. doing something different

（4）According to the passage, we can infer （推断） that ________.

A. it's important to run with others anytime

B. products in the advertisement are the best

C. we mustn't copy others' action to keep safe

D. we need to think twice before following others

【答案】（1）B

（2）B

（3）C

（4）D

【解析】【分析】短文大意：这篇短文通过几个实例说明了社会认知感对人们的影响。（1）细节理解题。 In the park, you see a group of people, all looking up at the sky. Without thinking about it, you look upwards, too. Why? In the concert, someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in. You do, too. Why? 可知作者是通过实例说明了一个论点社会认同感的影响。故选B。

（2）细节理解题。第三段的实验内容主要讲让人们选择一个正确答案，在一个人单独思考的状况下，可以答对；当一群人一起看问题，并告知他们前面的人选择的一个错误答案，他们就都选择认可前人回答的错误答案，由此可知社会认同感会让人改变观点。故选B。

（3）词意猜测题。根据Suppose that 5000 years ago you were hunting （打猎） with friends. Suddenly, they all ran away. What would you have done? Would you have stayed? No, you would have run, too. We are descendants （后代） of those who copied others' action. 这种观念深深种在我们的脑海中并且现在我们仍旧在使用。可知it指的是人们抄袭他人的行动。故选C。

（4）推理判断题。根据So be careful whenever a company says its product is "the most popular". 因此无论何时当一个公司说它的产品是对受欢迎的要小心。可知当我们在跟从别人之前要再三考虑。故选D。

【点评】此题考查阅读理解。先阅读短文，了解短文大意，然后分析问题，弄清题意，再带着问题阅读短文，从短文的细节中找出问题答案。对于推理判断题要根据文章中相关的细节进行推理判断，不要主观臆断，要根据作者的观点确定。

3．阅读理解

Students in Kenya are returning for their third term. They begin their school year in January and it is broken up into three terms. In Kenya, in the past, students were not required to attend school and the education was not free, either.

I taught math, English and physics at Chamasiri Secondary School while I was a teacher in Kenya. This school had four classrooms ﹣one for each grade, Form 1, Form 2, Form 3 and Form 4. They are the equivalent（对等） to our 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades. Teachers traveled from classroom to classroom instead of the students going from room to room. The Form I class had 60 students, Form 2 had 45, Form 3 had 30, and Form 4 about 12 students. The class sizes became smaller as the grades continued on. Why did this happn? Many families were very poor and could not afford the school fees（学费）.

Most countryside schools in Kenya did not have a lot of money. As a result, there were very few textbooks for the students to use. I had seven math texts for my Form 2 class and 14 for the Form I class. Anything the students needed to know was put up on the blackboard and the students copied it down into their notebooks. The notebooks became the students' textbooks.

Kenyan students study ten different subject areas. Some of the students spend over an hour running home. They do chores at home and hopefully manage to find some time to study before it gets dark. Most families do not have electricity and may not even have candies for their children to study by.

Luckily, Kenyan education has been becoming better and better in the past few years. I'm sure it will have a good future.

（1）Which grade does Form 3 refer to（指的是） in the writer's country？

A. Grade 9.

B. Grade 10.

C. Grade 11.

D. Grade 12.

（2）Why did the notebooks become the students' textbooks？

A. The students did not pay the schools.

B. The schools couldn't afford the textbooks.

C. The students preferred to use their notebook.

D. The teachers asked the students to take notes.

（3）Why do some students run home from school？

A. They aren't allowed to stay at school.

B. They don't like studying in the school.

C. They hope to have more time to study.

D. They want to get candles in the stores.

（4）According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE？

A. In Kenya, a school year has three terms.

B. The Form I class had the most students.

C. Each family has electricity in Kenya.

D. Kenyan education has been improving.

【答案】（1）C

（2）B

（3）C

（4）C

【解析】【分析】本文介绍Chamasiri Secondary School的情况，这个学校有四个班，一个年级一个班，到这里来就读的学生一般都是穷人家的孩子，学生在这学习10门科目。（1）细节理解题。根据Form 1， Form 2， Form 3 and Form 4. They are the equivalent（对等） to our 9th， 10th， 11th and 12th grades. 第一组、第二组、第三组和第四组，他们分别对应9、10、11、12年级，故选C。

（2）细节理解题。根据Most countryside schools in Kenya did not have a lot of money. 肯尼亚的大多乡村学校没有很多钱，故选B。

（3）细节理解题。根据Some of the students spend over an hour running home. They do chores at home and hopefully manage to find some time to study before it gets dark. Most families do not have electricity and may not even have candies for their children to study by. 一些学生花费一个多小时跑回家，他们在家做家务并希望天黑之前找到一些时间去学习，大多家庭没有电，甚至没有蜡烛供孩子们学习用，因此孩子们跑回家是为了有更多的时间学习，故选C。

（4）细节理解题。题目问以下哪一个选项是不对的，根据Most families do not have electricity and may not even have candies for their children to study by.可知，大多家庭没有电，甚至没有蜡烛供孩子们学习用。C选项意为肯尼亚的每个家庭都有电，与原文不符，故选C。

4．阅读理解

When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.

A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.

This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.

Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing.

（1）The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means .

A. 吹风

B. 给……上发条

C. 摇上

D. 利用空气……使……（2）The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .

A. will be damaged much easier than the normal one

B. has a special handle to access the Internet

C. is cheap and can run with extra power

D. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions

（3）According to the passage，what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phones?

A. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.

B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.

C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.

D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries.

（4）Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .

A. illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries

B. tell us what high technology can help people

C. show how to find business opportunities in developing countries

D. give an example of how to help developing countries

（5）Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?

A. We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves，not just throw money at the problem.

B. We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.

C. We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.

D. We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.

【答案】（1）B

（2）C

（3）D

If you want to check where the nearest coffee shop to your home is, if you want to know how to get to a place in your city, or if you want to see where in the world your foreign pen friend lives, there's now a new free online map you can use.

Last month, China started its official online mapping service, Map World. "Through this free online service users can fly over mountains and valleys around the world and search for

restaurants and traffic information across the country for free," said Xu Deming, director of the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping （SBSM）. The bureau, which does China's surveying and mapping work, is in charge of the Map World project.

Users can get into Map World through https://www.360docs.net/doc/451951279.html, or https://www.360docs.net/doc/451951279.html, and search for 2- and 3-D images from across the world. The home page shows a view of the Great Wall.

The technology（技术） and website are still at an early stage. The images from inside China are detailed. Users can see close pictures of roadsides. But the views of places outside China are less clear.

Service providers have more than 80 machines, with the ability to deal with 10 million requests （请求） daily, while Google Earth, Google's mapping service, has thousands of machines, Jiang said.

"Our map service can update（更新） data about twice a year, but Google Earth can update its information every couple of minutes, through satellites," Jiang said.

The bureau said it will continue developing Map World. At the same time, you can have a try for yourself. Some users have given their opinions about the service after trying it. One student in Beijing said that Map World even shows the small bookstore near her school.

Did you take part in a camp this summer? There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.

Maybe you've never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals—opportunity, challenge and growth.

Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids don't have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism （新闻）camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there.

Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in dealing with the challenge. Then you will have a sense of achievement. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate （证书）to become a real lifeguard.

This also leads to the third and most important goal of very great summer camp—personal growth. It doesn't mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn't know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.

8．阅读理解

Scrub, the pet cat of Jennifer's, was found! It got lost five years ago. Jennifer looked for it everywhere but failed each time. She thought Scrub would never come back. But one day she got

a call from an animal shelter（庇护所） and was told they had found Scrub!

How did they know Scrub belonged to Jennifer? How did they know Jennifer's phone number? All the information was available because of the microchip, a very small computer chip（薄片）. It was placed under Scrub's skin many years earlier.

The microchip is usually placed under the skin of an animal's shoulder to keep its ID number. Once the chip is in place, the pet does not feel it anymore. When lost pets are brought to animal shelters, people there use a special tool to look for the microchip and read the ID number on it, then they'll call the microchip company to match the number to the information of the pet's owner. This is how the shelter was able to tell Jennifer that they had found Scrub.

Microchips have helped thousands of owners get their lost pets back. In New York, a dog named Roxy was missing for months. Then a woman found her on a busy street in New Jersey. No one knows how the dog got to a different state. However, thanks to her microchip, Roxy was soon returned to her grateful owner.

In 2008, a couple got their cat George back after he had disappeared 13 years earlier! When George got lost, the couple tried everything to find him. They visited animal shelters every day for six months, made posters and even offered a $500 reward（酬金）. As years went by, they thought George would never be back till they got the call from an animal shelter. Without the microchip, the cat would never be able to come home again.

Microchips can not only work for a pet's whole life but help lost pets no matter how far they've been away from home. This is why microchips may be just the thing to help bring missing pets back home.

（1）How did Jennifer find her pet cat?

A. By visiting animal shelters.

B. By offering a $500 reward.

C. With the help of the microchip.

D. With the help of a woman in New Jersey.

（2）Which statement about microchips is NOT true according to the passage?

A. They are very small computer chips.

B. They are under an animal's skin of its shoulder.

C. They can help the owners to find the long-lost pets.

D. They can only work for a lost pet that's far away from home.

（3）The right order of how animal shelters help lost pets return home is .

①Get the I D number of the lost pet.

②Call the owner to bring the lost pet home.

③Look for the microchip of the lost pet.

④Call the microchip company to match the number to the information of its owner.

A. ③①②④

B. ③④①②

C. ①③④②

D.

③①④②

（4）According to the passage, we can know that .
