一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类

1．阅读理解

A photography exhibition by French artist San Bartolome entitled Moon Door Dreamers opened in the 798 Art Zone in Beijing on December 10, 2011, presenting a cross-cultural perspective (视角) on ordinary life in the capital city.

Bartolome took these photos in August 2008, and produced a video named Two Worlds, One Dream. These works were displayed in Pingyao, an ancient city in Shanxi Province, under the title Beijing Midsummer Night Dream in September 2010.

The moon doors serve as a keyhole through which one can catch a glimpse of a slice of Beijing life. He got his inspiration from one cycling trip to the southeastern suburb of Beijing, where he discovered a peculiar street along which a gray brick wall was built to cover the shabby bungalows. These cabins were mostly rented by migrant workers- peddlers, craftsmen, grocers and innkeepers.

Born in 1950, Bartolome has worked as a photographer, stage director. Artistic manager, writer and diplomat. A noted Sinophile, Bartolome frequently visits China for photographic subjects. In the fall of 2003, he joined the French Embassy in Beijing as a cultural attache. His work experience in China from 2003 to 2015 further enhanced his awareness of and love for China.

Bartolome not only loves Chinese culture but also the Chinese people. He thinks that Chinese people are kind, welcoming and diverse.

Back from his bike ride to southeastern Beijing, he decided to shoot pictures about ordinary urban lifestyles. He observed dwellers carefully and made friends with them.

After about 30 days and nights that he spent with these common migrants, he created a number of portraits. Meanwhile, he learned more about those rural migrants who earn their living in a city with which they are unfamiliar.

He adopted an optimistic perspective to shoot the sights, and he borrowed the title of one of William Shakespeare s comedy works: A Midsummer Night's Dream.

On March 25, 2010, Kate and David heard the words every parent dreads: Their newborn wasn't going to make it. Their twins-a girl and a boy-were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.

"I saw him gasp (喘息), but the doctor said it was no use," Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. "I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn't going to

give up easily."

Still, the couple knew this was likely a goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.

"I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us," Kate told Today. "We'd resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments."

Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and asked David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him.

"We were trying to persuade him to stay," Kate told the Daily Mail. "We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him." Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again-and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father's finger.

The couple's lost boy had made it.

"We're the luckiest people in the world," David told Today.

Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The couple only recently told the kids the story of their birth. "Emily burst into tears," Kate said. "She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more."

3．阅读理解

It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle.

As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade---or so we thought, as she didn't mention it again. We bought the latest fashionable Baby Sitter's Club dolls, a holiday dress and some beautiful story books. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she proudly announced that she "really wanted a bike more than anything else."

It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts. We could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. "What if I make a little bicycle out of clay and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?" Her dad asked. The theory, of course, being that since that is a high-ticket item and she is "such a big girl", it would be much better for her to pick it out. So he spent the next five hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike.

Three hours later, on Christmas morning, we were excited for Rose to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud.

She looked at me and then at her dad and said, "so does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?"

Beaming, I said, "Yes."

Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, "I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I'd rather keep this than get a real bike."

At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!

（1）Rose's parents didn't buy her the bike she wanted because ______.

A. they had bought many other wonderful things for her

B. they thought she had changed her mind

C. they didn't have time to do any shopping

D. they decided to make one for her

（2）Why did Dad make the clay bicycle?

A. He thought Rose was too young for a real bike.

B. He didn't want to disappoint his daughter.

C. He thought his daughter would like it.

D. He wanted to give his daughter a surprise.

（3）From the story, we know that ______.

A. Rose's father was an artist with special skills

B. Rose would trade in the clay bike for a real one

C. The parents were moved and proud of the girl

D. Rose was a thoughtful and independent girl

【答案】（1）B

（2）B

（3）C

（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade---or so we thought, as she didn't mention it again.可知，作者夫妻俩认为Rose 买自行车的愿望褪去了，所以没给她买。故选B。

（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段“ At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!”作者夫妇愿意竭尽全力给Rose买自行车"可推知：这对父母亲为女儿的行为而感到并觉得自豪。故选C。

4．阅读理解

Wilbur and Orville Wright were the two youngest sons of Bishop Milton Wright, Wilbur was born on a farm near Millville and Orville was born in August in the house the family would come to occupy for more than 40 years in Dayton.

Orville would discover in later years that he and Wilbur's first interests in flight began when they were children, with powered rubber-band-helicopter toys that their father would bring home for them from trips around the country. Orville and Wilbur would build duplicates（复制品）of these toys and bounce them off the ceiling. They were just crazy about these things for the reasons that they did not yet understand.

Both boys loved to solve problems that seemed difficult to others. The more difficult the problem was, the more they saw it as a challenge. Exploring the unknown was such a joy for then that Orville once said, "I can remember when Wilbur and I could hardly wait for the morning to come to get at something that interested us. That's happiness."

Putting their gift to work, the boys entered the printing business soon after high school. Orville designed and then built a printing press（印刷机）for this enterprise. At first, they did contract printing for other people, and soon one of their customers during the early 1890s was Father Milton's church. They also tried the newspaper business, and although their two newspapers, the West Side News and The Evening Item were considered to be of high quality, Dayton already had daily newspapers, so the Wrights soon returned to contract printing.

Branching out into other areas, they also opened a bicycle business. Bicycling was the fastest growing sport in the country at that time, and their repair shop soon led them into building bicycles of their own design, often with tools of their own construction, such as the lathe（车床）driven by a one-cylinder gasoline engine built by Orville. The bicycle shop would provide the livelihood（生计）that would allow them to carry out their experiments on airplanes.

5．阅读理解

When my father married my mother in 1943 he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not spend it. This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.

When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story obtained a 1937 crown for me and I have always kept it in my wallet and I have always had enough for my needs.

A friend recently fell on hard times partly through external (外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, even given her food and tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.

Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless. I then thought about how the crown, a reminder of another's care and love, had protected me so I went to the bank for a $100 dollar bill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn't have a wallet so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better. "I feel rich and thank you for being a good friend" she said and we were both a bit teary.

The reason for passing this on is not to praise any generosity on my part but to show the power of "random acts of kindness". I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I'd never used and thought "I'll give that to my friend." I opened it and inside found $100. The universe is very just and if your heart is open the reward always comes.

6．阅读理解

Back in 1988, I was working at the University of Bonn in Germany as a research fellow. I took some time off in early May to visit a friend, who was the director of a museum in Viterbo, in central Italy. I set out by train, which crossed the Swiss border to reach Zurich, winding through valleys and along hillsides, and entering tunnels and making its way through the Swiss Alps. The scenery was so beautiful.

The train then crossed the Italian border before passing through Milan and Florence, then finally stopping in Rome. I was lucky, as my hotel was close to the railway station. The next morning, I had a coffee at a nearby café and eagerly set out to visit as many of the famous Roman landmarks as possible.

The following day I headed back to the train station, intending to take a short train ride to Viterbo to meet up with my friend. When I arrived at the station and attempted to locate the correct platform, I quickly realized that the station was closed for an upgrade (升级). For a moment my mind went blank and did not know what to do. My biggest problem was my luggage—my suitcase and hand luggage were so heavy that I couldn't move about easily. As I don't speak Italian, I could not ask anyone for instructions. I dragged my suitcase about 100 meters to a nearby motor mechanics. A tall, strong man of about 50 years of age was working there and I excused myself and asked where the nearest station was. I am sure that he did not understand me properly but he could easily guess that I was looking for a station. He replied, but I did not understand.

He smiled, wiped his hands and said something, which I guessed to mean "come along". So I dragged my suitcase along and followed him. He opened the door of his car, motioned to me to get in and then drove for a few minutes to the next station. I got out, unloaded my luggage, then shook his hand with thanks. He smiled back and drove away.

There was no time to hug or exchange names I understood he was busy and in the middle of his work. I was moved so much by his generosity that I have never forgotten him.

7．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。

I.M. Pei, the Chinese-American, who was regarded as one of the last great modernist architects, has died at the age of 102.

Although he worked mostly in the United States, Pei will always be remembered for a European project: His redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s. He gave us the glass and metal pyramid in the main courtyard, along with three smaller pyramids and a vast subterranean (地下的) addition to the museum entrance.

Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed. But in the end, the French—and everyone else—were won over. Winning the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he was thought as giving the 20th century "some of its most beautiful inside spaces and outside forms … His talent and skill in the use of materials approach the level of poetry."

After studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, Pei set up his own architectural practice in New York in 1955.

Designing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in 1964 established him as a name. His East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1978 changed people's ideas of a museum. The site was an odd trapezoid (梯形) shape. Pei's solution was to cut it in two. The resulting building was dramatic, light and elegant—one of the first crowd-pleasing cathedrals of modern art.

Though known as a modernist, and notable for his forms based on arrangements of simple geometric (几何的) shapes, he once urged Chinese architects to look more to their architectural tradition rather than designing in a western style.

In person, I.M. Pei was good-humored, charming and unusually modest. His working process was evolutionary, but innovation (创新) was never an intended goal.

"Stylistic originality is not my purpose," he said. "I want to find the originality in the time, the place and the problem."

（1）What can we learn about the result of redevelopment of the Louvre Museum?

A. It was criticized by the French.

B. It was a success.

C. It made the Louvre Museum looks strange.

D. It changed the function of the Louvre Museum.

（2）What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

A. He is a master in applying materials.

B. He is skilled in writing poems.

C. He often combines poetry and construction.

D. He gets inspiration from poetry in designing.

（3）What's the correct order of the following events?

a. Design the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum.

b. Study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard.

c. Design the National Gallery of Art.

d Win th

e fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize.

A. a, b, c, d

B. b, a, c, d

C. b, c, a, d

D. d, a, c, d （4）What can we learn about I.M. Pei?

A. Innovation was his first goal in design.

B. He was talented and serious.

C. He preferred western style to the east.

D. He liked simple geometric shapes.

【答案】（1）B

（2）A

（3）B

（4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇人物介绍，介绍了享誉世界最后的现代主义建筑大师——贝聿铭。

（1）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed. But in the end, the French—and everyone else—were won over. ”贝聿铭是卢浮宫悠久历史上的第一位外国建筑师，最初他的设计遭到强烈反对。但最终，法国人，以及全世界，都被（他的精妙设计所）折服。从而可以推测，罗浮宫博物馆重建非常成功。故选B。

（2）考查句义猜测。根据第三段中的“His talent and skill in the use of materials approach the level of poetry.”中的关键词talent and skill和the use of materials可知，此句字面含义为：他在使用（建筑）材料方面的才华和技艺达到了诗一般的境界，即他是应用材料方面的专家。故选A。

（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“After studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, Pei set up his own architectural practice in New York in 1955.可知，1955年，贝聿铭在麻省理工学院和哈佛大学学习建筑学；第五段中的“Designing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in 1964 established him as a name. ”1964年，贝聿铭设计了约翰·肯尼迪总统图书馆和博物馆；“His East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1978 changed people's ideas of a museum.” 1978年设计了华盛顿国家美术馆东馆；第三段中的“Winning the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he was thought as giving the 20th century ‘some of its most beautiful inside spaces and outside forms…”贝聿铭于1983年获得普利兹克建筑奖。故选B。

8．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Kincaid looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20. Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called "memory snapshots." The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S. Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.

He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. "I must get a dog then." He said to himself.

Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it's possible to be—an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.

He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty-two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers' songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience

while she sang.

His long absences—two or three months sometimes—were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn't when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and she was gone. The note read, "Robert, it didn't work out. I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch."

He didn't stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except her freedom.（1）Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?

A. Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—U.S Route 20—U.S Route 2—Duluth

B. U.S. Route 2—Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—U.S Route 20—Duluth

C. U.S. Route 2—U.S Route 20—Duluth –Bellingham—Washington 11

D. Bellingham—Washington 11—U.S. Route 2—U.S Route 20—Duluth

（2）Which statement is true according to the passage?

A. Kincaid's parents were dead and he only kept in touch with some distant relatives.

B. Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn't been away from home too much.

C. Kincaid used to have a golden retriever.

D. Kincaid needed a dog in doing his hard fieldwork.

（3）Why did Kincaid stop to take photos while driving?

A. To write "memory snapshots"

B. To remind himself of places he might want to visit again.

C. To avoid forgetting the way back.

D. To shoot beautiful scenery along the road.

（4）What can you know about Marian?

A. She died after five years of marriage.

B. She was older than Kincaid.

C. She could sing very well and earned big money.

D. She was not a professional pop singer.

（5）We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ________.

A. Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid

B. Kincaid thought his absence would be a problem when he married Marian

C. It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid's absence and left him

D. After Marian left him, they still kept in touch with each other

【答案】（1）A

（2）B

（3）B

（4）D

（5）C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Kincaid自驾旅行的始末及他在旅途中对自身往事的回忆。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Through the streets of Bellingham he went…the coast

of Puget Sound…highway…before meeting U.S Route 20”及第二段中的“he turned north at Spokane，picking up U.S Route 2…to Duluth,Minnesota.” 可知Kincaid所走的路线是从Bellingham出发– Washington 11 – Puget Sound – U.S Route 20 – U.S Route 2 –到Duluth结束。可知选A。（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“he wished…that he had a dog…but he was frequently away”可知如果他不太经常离开家，他会养只狗。故选B。

（3）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The purpose of these casual photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously”。停下来拍照是为了提醒他自己他想再来观光的地方。故选B。

（4）考查细节理解。结合第五段中的“Marain had dreams of becoming a musician，a folksinger.She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle.”Marain梦想成为名音乐家，一名乡村歌手。她会所有Weavers的歌曲，而且她经常在西雅图的咖啡屋里唱那些歌，唱得非常好。可知她不是专业的流行歌手。故选D。（5）根据细节理解。根据第六段中的“she was gone.The note read,Robert,it didn’t work…”Marain在决定结婚前清楚知道Kincaid做什么，他们都要不清晰的感觉，那些在一定程度上是可以解决的。可是Marain离开了，那些是不起作用的。由此得知Marain受不了Kincaid长期不在她身边而离开他。可知选C。

9．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

When my father married my mother in 1943, he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not to spend it. This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.

When I was married in 1970, my husband, who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs.

A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.

Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another's care and love had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollar-bill.

I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn't have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—"I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend," she said, and we were both a bit teary.

I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I'd never used, and thought, "I'll give that to my friend." I opened it, and inside, found $ 100.

10．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。

Jarrett Little was road testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus, Georgia, when his riding

partner, Chris Dixon, stopped suddenly. Something in the distance moving among the trees had caught her attention. It turned out to be a sandy-colored five-month-old puppy.

"He was really thin, ribs showing, and a broken leg," Little told John Parks, a reporter from CBS News. The cyclists fed the friendly pup and shared their water. They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them, although they had no idea how. They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes. "We couldn't leave him," Little said. "Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows, he was going to become the lunch of an alligator living in the river."

Suddenly, Little had an idea. He carefully picked up his new friend and slipped the 38-pound dog's hind legs (后肢) into the back pockets of his cycling jacket. Then he hung the dog's front paws over his shoulders.

"He was injured, so he wasn't trying to fight," Little says. "He was also happy that we were there, touching him, and hadn't taken off on him."

The group's 30-minute ride into town ended at a bike store, where they got more water and food for the dog. That was when Andrea Shaw, an accountant from Maine in town on business, happened by. The dog made a headed straight for her, licking and "loving on her," says Dixon. Shaw was struck and, after learning what had happened, declared her intentions: "I am keeping this dog."

Shaw called him Columbo and scheduled an operation on his leg. Today, Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse, a pony, a six-year-old boy, to keep him company. As Dixon told John Parks, "He is literally the luckiest dog alive."

（1）Why did Little say they couldn't leave the dog behind?

A. It was friendly and cute.

B. It followed them closely.

C. It had to be taken to hospital at once.

D. It might fall victim to other animals.

（2）How did Little manage to get the dog together with them?

A. By carrying it in his pockets.

B. By placing it on the bike.

C. By shouldering it on his back.

D. By taking it away with him.

A. Jarrett little.

B. Chris Dixon.

D. John Parks.（4）What word can we use to describe the dog's present life?

A. Difficult.
