一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷

1.阅读理解

When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.

One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn't afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, "You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?" I did not know how to answer that question. He continued, "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother." Then he sent us to mum's workplace by taxi.

I have depended on(依靠) the kindness of many strangers in my whole life, I feel regretful that I can't find them and say thank you. I do not even remember what the man's face looked like, but he taught me a lesson—people are more important than things.

2.阅读理解

One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱) . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, I thought to myself, "Why aren't most adults this way?" Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they're not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure(失败) .

However, with kids, when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected "falling down" with the word "failure". What's more, they probably think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that it's not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.

I was deeply impressed by the boy's persistence(坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.(1)What did the little boy do when he fell down?

A. He cried and lay on the grass.

B. He asked his mother for help.

C. He got up and went on running.

D. He got up and stood there crying.

(2)In the writer's opinion, what might the little boy regard his falling down as?

A. A failure.

B. A joke.

C. An interesting game.

D. A learning experience.(3)In the writer's opinion, why can't many adults succeed?

A. Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.

B. Because they can't find a good excuse.

C. Because once they fail, they won't attempt again.

D. Because they don't allow themselves to make mistakes.

(4)The underlined word " attempt" in Paragraph 2 means .

A. 尝试

B. 放弃

C. 面对

D. 怀疑(5)What does the writer want to tell us?

A. Practice makes perfect.

B. Failure is the mother of success.

C. All roads lead to Rome.

D. Each coin has two sides.

【答案】(1)C

(2)D

(3)C

(4)A

(5)B

【解析】【分析】大意:本文讲述的是作者的一次观察男孩跌倒后自由奔跑所得到的启

示。在我们成长过程中,我们不能从容面对失败和困难,而变得虚伪和恐惧,我们需要真实的自我和面对失败的勇气。

(1)细节理解题。根据句中第一段第三句:“The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again.可知,小男孩时不时地跌倒,爬起来。故选C。

(2)细节理解题。根据However, with kids, when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience.可知对于孩子们来说,当他们跌倒时,他们不认为跌倒是个失败,相反,他们把它当作一次学习经历。故选D。(3)细节理解题。根据Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt. 大部分的成年人,当他们失败的时候只会小题大做,甚至不愿意再做第二次尝试。故选C。

(4)词义猜测题。根据They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again.大部分的成年人,当他们失败的时候只会觉得尴尬,不愿意再做第二次尝试。故选A。

5.阅读理解

Then Alice saw a small glass table. There was a little golden key on it. She picked it and put it in all the locks on the doors but it didn't open any of them. She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door, a very small one. She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden. It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains.

"Oh, how beautiful!" she said. "I'd love to go there but I'm too big to get through the door."

She walked back to the table. There was a bottle on it now.

"I'm sure that bottle wasn't there before," she said, a little confused.

She put down the key and picked up the bottle. She read the words "DRINK ME" on it. Alice wasn't a stupid girl. She didn't drink it immediately. First she looked at the bottle carefully. There wasn't a label on it that said "POISON".

So she put the bottle to her lips and drank.

"Mmm, ifs nice," she said. It tasted like cherry tart, pineapple, roast turkey and toast-all the things that she liked to eat-so she drank some more. And some more. Soon the bottle was empty. "What a curious feeling," she said. "I'm getting smaller and smaller.'" It was true! She was now as small as her cat Dinah.

"Good! I can go through the door into the garden," she said. But, poor Alice! When she got to the door, she didn't have the key! It was on the table. She couldn't reach it because she was too small now. She sat down and cried.

After a while she said, "Alice! Stop crying! Crying doesn't help! Dry your tears immediately!"

When she looked at the table again, she saw a small glass box under it. She picked it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside. It had the words "EAT ME" on it. She put a small piece of it in her mouth.

"If I grow bigger I can reach the key," she thought. "And if I grow smaller I can go under the door."

But nothing happened so she finished it.

"Without music, life would be a mistake, "famous German philosopher(哲学家)Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).

For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. However, learning music is beneficial(有益的)in many ways.

When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解码)them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music:Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.

(1)Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ____.

A. they were too difficult to learn

B. students in the US weren't interested in music

C. the schools wanted to control budgets

D. there weren't enough music teachers in the US (2)In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word "them" refer to(指代)?

A. Students in Chicago.

B. Public schools.

C. Parents in Chicago.

D. Fired teachers.(3)How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

(4)What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?

A. Music is as simple as it looks.

B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.

C. Music is a big part of our lives.

D. Music isn't a very important life skill for us.

【答案】(1)C

(2)D

(3)B

(4)C

【解析】【分析】本文介绍了很多地区削减了音乐课以控制预算,这是不合适的,因为音乐在许多方面都是有益的。

(1)细节题。根据some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets可知美

国的一些学校停课,因为学校想控制预算,故选C。

(2)词义猜测题。根据Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers...10 percent of the teachers taught art or music 芝加哥公立学校解雇了1000多名教师……10%的教师教授艺术或音乐,可知them指代被解雇的教师,故选D。

Great changes have taken place in family life because of science and industry(工业). In the past, when most Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Usually, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot move from place to place as smaller families. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.

In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.

(1)Which of the following topics is discussed in the passage?

A. The development of science and industry in America.

B. The influence of science and industry on American families.

C. Harmful effect of industrialization.

D. Social problems resulting from the highly-developed science and industry in America.

(2)What kinds of families are described in the passage?

A. Families of the past and the present.

B. Families of the present and the future.

C. Families of the past and the future.

D. Families of the past, the present and the future.(3)What is one of the reasons that families are getting smaller in America?

A. Children tend to leave their parents and grandparents when they grow up.

B. People stop caring for children.

C. The need for workers who are able to move at any time has been increasing.

D. Both old and young people prefer to live by themselves.

(4)What can you infer from the passage?

A. Science and industry have caused thousands of families to split(破裂).

B. Children do not live with their parents or grandparents.

C. Large families can hardly survive in modern society.

D. Americans are very choosy about their jobs.

【答案】(1)B

(2)D

(3)C

(4)C

【解析】【分析】文章大意:由于工业的发展,家庭也受到了影响,原来的家庭孩子多,而现在的家庭孩子少,由于工业的发展家庭会总是搬动,有的家庭只有一个孩子或者没有孩子。

(1)细节理解题,根据Great changes have taken place in family life because of science and industry(工业).可知家庭受到了科学和工业发展的影响,故答案是B。

(2)细节理解题,根据文章内容可知,短文涉及到了过去的家庭,现在的家庭和将来的家庭,故答案是D。

(3)细节理解题,根据In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. 可知对于工人们能够随时搬动的需求,所以家庭变得原来越小,故答案是C。

(4)逻辑推理题,根据文章内容可知,工人们可能会随时要搬家,大的家庭就没有这样的便捷,所以大家庭就不适于生存在现代的社会,故答案是C。

That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter (笑声)Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. "Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day," says Dr. Kataria. "Everyone is naturally good at laughing-it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives." There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over l,300 in the world. Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can't tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects. Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed-and comfortable I felt. So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results! (1)The first Laughter Club was started in __________. A. India B. America C. Britain D.
