阅读理解(d读者文摘改编)
They’d just finished lunch at a café in Orange County—Chuck Rees, his wife, Laurie, and her mother, Ann Marie Effert. Then Rees, 51, spotted smoke rising from a hill a few blocks away. “Let’s get up there!” he cried.
Keeping the dark plumes（李树）in sight, the three drove through winding, unfamiliar streets and eventually came upon a white two-story house with black smoke from the back.
Rees pulled his car alongside a couple standing on the pavement in front of the house. “Anybody in there?” he asked them.
“I knocked, but nobody answered,” the man said. “We’ve called 911.”
Rees threw his car into park. “Chuck, don’t,” Laurie said, although she knew he wouldn’t listen. He’d once dropped the receiver of a pay phone in the middle of a conversation with her to run after a man who stole a wallet from an old woman.
He pointed to the flames rising up the back of the house. The woman looked at him, frightened.
“Laurie, I’ve got to,” he said, and jumped out of the car.
Rees ran up the driveway along the right side of the house, hoping to find the source of the fire and put it out with a garden hose（软管）. A locked gate blocked his way into the backyard. He considered climbing over it, but a large Labrador retriever mix（拉布拉多混血犬）appeared on the other side and bared its teeth at him. That means somebody lives here, Rees thought.
He rushed to the front door and tried the handle; it was locked. He knocked on the door; no one answered. Then he moved along the left side of the house, past what looked like a small addition. He grabbed onto a chain-link fence and pulled it back far enough for him to squeeze through. Another large Lab mix stood waiting for him; this one was wagging(摇摆) its tail.
As he scanned the back of the house for a hose（软管）, Rees noticed a small steel door in the addition. He knocked on it with his fist. “Is anybody in there?” he shouted. “Your house is on
fire!” No one answered. He knocked on the door again.
So on he heard a woman’s faint voice from the other side of the door. “Hello?” she said.
Rees pushed the door open a couple of inches. He stuck his hand through the gap and discovered that the handle was stuck to something, preventing it from opening all the way. “Ma’am, your house is on fire,” he repeated. “You need to get out.”
He spotted a broad-bodied elderly woman with long white hair through the crack in the doorway. Barefooted, she looked confused, as if he had awakened her.
“There’s a fire,” Rees told her again. “I need to get you out of here.”
“I don’t believe you,” the woman responded.
“I’ll show you,” Rees said.
He grabbed her hand, led her into the backyard, and pointed to the flames rising up the back of the house. The woman looked at him, frightened.
Rees was afraid too. He knew she wouldn’t be able to climb a wall or squeeze through a fence the way he had. They’d need to find another way out.
He guided the woman and dog back into the addition and through a doorway connecting it to the house. The fire spread to the kitchen and dining area to their left. Smoke raced along the ceiling.
He glanced back inside the addition and saw a door he hadn’t noticed before. He opened it, and there stood Laurie and another neighbor. “Take her and the dog,” Rees tol d them. The pair took the woman and her pet to safety. (The other dog was rescued later.)
Rees rushed back into the living room to check for others. The smoke had descended（下降）nearly to the floor, and he could hear boards burning upstairs. The heat was almost unbearable. He moved through the downstairs rooms, coughing and yelling up the stairwell to anyone who might be there. After one last look around, Rees fled.
A fire crew arrived, and Rees quickly told them the situation. Moments later, flames swallowed the house.
Exhausted and covered in soot（煤烟）, Rees climbed back into his car and drove his wife and mother-in-law home to Tustin before anyone got his name.
That night, the local news reported that an unknown man had rescued an elderly woman with dementia（痴呆）from her burning house. Effert proudly called media to identify her son-in-law as the hero.
But he didn’t do it for fame, Rees says. “It was something that needed to be done.”|

英语报刊选读 读者文摘原文版INSPIRING STORIES (3)
Father Time I lost my dad last year. Sure, lots of memorable stuff happened to me in 2011. My daughters started first grade. I read and will never forget Unbroken. I did a pull-up for the first time! But Dad’s passing? That defines last year for me. It signals a shift in all the many things uniquely us: Michigan football. Cleveland Stadium mustard. Knowing how to parallel park, change a tire, and balance a checkbook the “right way.” Handwritten letters on his Ludlow Antiques stationery to his homesick firstborn at U of M. An appreciation for Neil Diamond (shhh). And, did I mention, Michigan football? “Good job on the Today show, honey,” he’d say. “Very informative. Was that a new blouse?” I came to realize the expanse of the void when, late last fall, I got this job — the job of being the editor-in-chief of your Reader’s Digest, the most trusted magazine in America. I was humbled by the opportunity. Incredulous, really. I texted friends, war-dialed my sister. But first I told Mom, who said the one thing I needed to hear: “I wish your father were here. He would be so proud, honey.” That’s my intent, as I shepherd Reader’s Digest and its website, books, and apps through the coming years. I hope to do him — and you — proud. Oh , and I’ll try to keep the Michigan football stuff to a minimum. Though Tom Brady? Michigan. I’m just sayin g ’. The Titanic Coat: One Family’s Legend In an inspiring follow-up to the Titanic story, Reader's Digest national affairs editor David Noonan tells of a family heirloom that survived the fatal tragedy on April 15, 1912. My great uncle Denis O’Brien boarded the Titanic as a third -class passenger at Queenstown, Ireland. He was 21, a jockey from County Cork who was offered a job riding horses for an American family. His older brother Michael, my grandfather, who had made his own trip across the Atlantic a few years earlier, was waiting for him in New York.

英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy and quick to learn English. There is even a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But many people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear. Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but too many cannot afford to do so. Some go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good pronunciation and intonation. Most teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making sentences. If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren't, because it would make it easier to use their methods. In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real. There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people to talk to and listen to when we communicate. They can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life language. （1）Many people believe advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses probably because . A. they are encouraged by William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens B. they are eager to learn and then believe them C. the ways advertised can help them to save time and efforts D. the ways advertised prove effective and helpful （2）What may behaviorists argue towards English learning? A. Human beings make more interesting noises than parrots and chimpanzees. B. Human beings should relate their speech to their own lives. C. Language is a formula with lots of repetitions and practices. D. Language is a means of communication. （3）What opinion does the author hold? A. A quick method that suits all the students does exist. B. English can be mastered within a very short period of time. C. Each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language. D. No one can learn English well without being interested in it.

高考英语阅读理解D专练5篇
阅读理解D专练5篇 Passage 1(2017江苏,D) Old Problem, New Approaches While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warming will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions(排放) peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation. When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that:“There is no ‘one-size fits all’ adaptation.”Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost. Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连接) to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level:his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season. Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000m3of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.

(英语)英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析
（英语）英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析 一、阅读理解 1．根据短文内容选择正确答案。 D If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming. Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance. When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chan ces all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she w asn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted. She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ours elves. The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty. （1）From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that . A. being out of work is a sad thing B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting C. life in a film is more exciting than real life. D. chance never appears when we need it （2）What troubles Allison after graduation? A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job. B. She had no money to start a business. C. She was not sure what to do. D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school. （3）How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience? A. Uncertain. B. Amazed . C. Sorry. D. Satisfied. （4）What may be discussed in the following paragraph?
高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇(附答案)
高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇 (名师传授解题技巧+实战练习，值得下载) 一、阅读理解解题技巧 阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力，即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。具体说来，阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：（1）掌握所读材料的主旨大意，以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节；（2）既理解具体事实，也理解抽象的概念；（3）既理解字面意思，也理解深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等；（4）既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能根据文章进行推理和判断；（5）既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。根据这几项能力测试的要求，试题中常采用如下几种题型：事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。根据这一测试要求和题型设计，答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。 1．首先解题时要充满自信。由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理，因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感，特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀，从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其实这是完全没有必要的，因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事，也是正常现象。因为按大纲要求，试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词，只要认真分析，仔细阅读，这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。 2．扫读全文，理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章，首先要快速扫读全文，虽为扫读，但不可漫不经心，阅读时也应聚精会神，力求可能多地获取材料信息，只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理，不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。
3．对症下药，各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策： （1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how 等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源，同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。 （2）推理判断题：此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思，对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手，根据上下文的内在联系，充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系，人物的动机，以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西，不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考，切勿想当然，凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。 （3）数据推算题：此题要求我们就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断，然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时，要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析，若数据信息较多，还要注意弄清数据之间的关系，同时分清有用与无用信息，最终作出正确判断。 （4）主旨大意题：此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句，抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意，因此，只要找准每段的主题句，文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。
高考英语阅读理解D篇
高考英语阅读理解D篇 Jenny was compiled in January 2021
高考英语阅读理解D篇 2004全国一卷 Before a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. The first is called the “tank test". A modem airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (结构) of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (压力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger. The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines (发动机) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers. 68. By doing the "tank test", the engineers can find out _______.

当你爱上一个人的时候，爱到八分绝对刚刚好。所有的期待和希望 都只有七八分，剩下两三分爱白己。如果你还爱得更深，很可能给对方 造成沉重的压力，让彼此喘不过气来，完全丧失了爱情的乐趣。 记住：喝酒不要超过六分醉，吃饭不要吃过七分饱，爱一个人不要超过八分。 爱一个人要了解也要开解；要道歉也要道谢；要认错也要改错；要体贴也要体谅；是接受不是忍受；是宽容不是纵容；是倾诉不是凡事交待；是为对方默默祈求而不是向对方诸多要求。可以浪漫，但不要浪费。不要随便牵手，更不要随便放手。 要平凡，但不平庸；要大胆，但不大意；要敢说，但不空说；要多思，但不乱思；要大干，但不蛮干；要谦让，但不迁就；要虚心，但不 虚荣；要勇敢，但不蛮横。 人类最丑陋之处，集中体现在，他们绞尽脑汁的议案是白己的丑陋。 智者的回答： 最困难的事是什么？u识白己难，认识白己的不足更难。 最贵重的财务是什么？一切都在我身上，还有比生命更重要的么？ 快乐的工作是什么％争钱的工作。 永远的道德是什么？我们不愿把我们的道德和他们的财富交换，因 为道德是永远的，而财富每天都在更换主人。道德是永远的，财富是暂 时的。靠作恶致富的人，内心是空虚的，而且富裕也不会长久。 理想的家居是什么？既没有什么奢侈品，也不缺什么必需品。奢侈 品是给别人看得，必需品是给白己用的。
英语阅读理解试卷分析
英语阅读理解试卷分析 本次我们课题组收取了一个理科班和一个文科班学生的试卷，课题组成员有针对性的对这两个班学生的试卷进行分析和研究，发现了学生在做阅读理解时存在的一些问题，并也提出了解决方法。 一、存在问题 1﹑缺乏生活常识 现在有许多阅读文章与日常的生活有着密切的联系比如有一篇文章“A sign is another kind of language.”这类话题比较接近现实生活。 2﹑缺乏对东西方文化差异的了解 语言是一种特殊的社会文化现象它是人们在长期的社会生活实践中约定俗成的。每一种语言都是在特定的社会历史环境中产生和发展起来的因此每一种语言都反映出使用该语言的国家和民族在不同的社会历史时期所特有的文化现象。例如在一篇文章中有一个句子“You are indeed a lucky dog”如果按字面翻译成汉语就是“你真是一条幸运的狗。”这在汉语中完全是一句骂人的话。“狗”一词在中国人看来是贬义的如我们常说“癞皮狗”“狗崽子”“狗头军师”等等用来描绘所厌恶的人。可是在英语中这句话是说“你真是个幸运儿”。“狗”在这儿用来指人不但没有骂人的意思而且还表示一种亲昵的关系。在美国“狗”是家庭成员。人们认为它往往含有褒情善意。因此同一个词在不同的文化背景中意义不同。我们要想掌握和运用一门语言就必须了解并学习产生这门语言的社会背景文化否则就无法正确理解和运用这门语言。而在以往的外语教学中往往把主要精力
集中在语言知识的传授上而忽视了文化背景知识对语言的重要作用培养出来的大部分学生尽管掌握的词汇量很大语法知识也很好但却缺乏在不同的场合恰当地使用语言的能力有时运用母语的交际习惯来套用外语以至闹出笑话。 3﹑忽视阅读的时代特征 21世纪是信息高速时代对英语水平的要求越来越高。作为一名中学生适当的关心一下国家和国际的大事是非常必要的因为现在有不少的阅读文章和作文内容涉及当时正在发生的一些国内外大事。例如去年的很多试卷里出现的是北京奥运会和四川汶川大地震的话题，紧随时代。 4﹑缺乏猜词能力 阅读理解难度较高必须在有了充足的词汇的基础上才能进行阅读训练。它是检查学生英语学习水平的高低的重要标志。但是有部分学生缺乏根据上下文猜词的能力平时在阅读时依赖字典一旦在考试时文章里出现大量生词就会慌了手脚。在阅读过程中遇到生词是不可避免的。如果一遇到生词就去查字典或跳过去不看都会影响对文章的理解。这样就要猜测生词的意思。不同的语境单词的意思也就不一样。所以要根据上下文线索和构词法等知识去猜测。 5、缺乏阅读的推理技巧 有的同学还会经常碰到这样的问题文章本身对我来讲没有生词但做阅读理解题时经常会出现偏差。当然这种情况更多地是涉及到阅读理解的考试。说明学生在阅读过程中遇到了理解上的障碍因此在阅读理解中掌握一些推理技巧也是十分重要的。

专题限时检测(二十三) 阅读理解D篇专练(一) (共2篇，限时20分钟) A (2020·镇江一模)No one knew Prince Edward Street as well as Pierre Dupin.He had delivered milk to the families on the street for thirty years.For the past fifteen years a large white horse named Joseph pulled his milk wagon.Joseph was a gentle horse with beautiful spirit shining out of its eyes, so Pierre named him after Saint Joseph.
