The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Button, DameMargot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团). It became fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.At the Same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years. Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.【小题1】What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?A．To bring Europe together again.B．To honor heroes of World War II.C．To introduce young theatre groups.D．To attract great artists from Europe.【小题2】Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?A．They owned a public house there.B．They came to take up a challenge.C．They thought they were also famous.D．They wanted to take part in the festival.【小题3】Who joined the “Fringe” after it appeared?A．Popular writers.B．University students.C．Artists from around the world.D．Performers of music and dance.【小题4】We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival .

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Something that hasalways interested me about Abraham Lincoln is, not surprisin gly, his sense of humor. As far as I can tell, he’s the first Amer ican President to have one.That’s because the term“sense of humor”really wasn’t in com mon usage until the eighteen sixties and seventies. In the eig hteen forties and fifties, it was called“the sense of the ridiculo us”, and didn’t have the positive connotations(隐含意义)that“sense of humor”has today. Back then, what was ridicu lous was what invited ridicule(讥笑). Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand. Of course, they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well.’s humor was very different because, for one thing, it was actu ally“humor”as what the word meant in his time. We don’t mak e the distinction between“wit(风趣)”and“humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did. Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleas ant and sympathetic. It’s the difference we note now when wedistinguish between“laughing with”and“laughing at”. was mu ch more about“laughing with”than“laughing at”. And when“lau ghing at”, it was often himself he was teasing.In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debate, when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced, replied, referencing his plain looking, “Honestly, if I we re two-faced, would I be showing you this one? ”And, in a way, ’s fac e itself tells us much about his sense of humor.You can comb through thousands of photographs of politician s, soldiers, and the like from ’s time and not find a single smile .True, the long exposures(曝光)required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult. Yet alone, as far as I can tell, overcame that difficulty.Interestingly, while having a sense of humor, or at least the appear ance of one provided by comedy writers, has become a neces sary characteristic for an American President in our time, in th e nineteenth century, too much humor was considered a probl em. And that was the case for . A journalist covering the Linco ln-Douglas debate commented that“I could not take a real personal liking to the man, owing to an inborn weakness for which h e was even then notorious and so remained during his great p ublic career, he was extremely fond of jokes, anecdotes, and stories. ”【文章大意】说起第16任美国总统亚伯拉罕·林肯, 很多人会立即想起他对解放黑奴和维护美利坚联邦完整所做出的巨大贡献, 想起他能言善辩的口才和妙语连珠的演讲, 但却很少有人知道, 林肯的“幽默感”也开创了一个新时代。

2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习（1）及答案2016高考英语阅读理解--日常生活类Papa’s Straw HatPapa was a ranger. He worked with horses. He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked. His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat- large black hat of heavy wool. He wore his hat full and high. I think he wanted to look taller than he really was.Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best clothes. But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather. She began to talk about his hats.“Papa,” she said one day, “why don't you get a nice cool straw hat? That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!” Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn’t recognize him if he changed the hat. But she didn’t believe him.Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long. At last papa answered, a little angry, “It would not the cowboy hat but a wife’s talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair.”Mama had a very serious look on her face. She went straight out and later came home with a straw hat. It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money. She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat, papa would wear it. When papa saw the hat, his face got red. Without a word, he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses.He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses. But as papa got close to the horses this time, they jumped high into the air, raising their front feet. All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn. Papa began to shout “Woo boys. Steady boys, steady.” But there was nothing equal to.Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen, pushed the straw hat deep downinto the fire then turned to mama, in a way that even frightened me. “Now listen to me, mama. Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like.” Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house.I never heard mama talk any more about hats. Perhaps, that is why when papa died many years later, there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair.【小题1】According to the passage, a ranger is _______.A．a person wearing a woolen hatB．a position requiring clean clothesC．a person training horses for some purposeD．a person riding a carriage with horses【小题2】Mama bought papa a straw hat because _______.A．most cowboys preferred to wear itB．she was worried about his healthC．a woolen one didn’t suit papaD．it was cheap and she could save money【小题3】What quality can we learn from papa?A．Gentle. B．Patient. C．Committed. D．Modest.【小题4】It can be learned from the story that _______.A．this family were not rich but diligentB．papa didn’t love the straw hat and mamaC．protecting hair was very importantD．a cowboy hat was useful on farming阅读理解。

Do you remember we agreed to circulate our ideas for our school project this year? Well, here is our suggestion and we in our school hope you will join us to develop it.The idea came to us in the autumn of 2004. We were sitting in our class when our head teacher made an announcement. “There’ll be a new boy starting school tomorrow. He comes from the circus so he’ll be with us for a while.” Immediately there was wh ispering around the classroom.I heard remarks like “Those are dirty people”; “They eat raw meat”; and “Watch out for your bags”. The teacher must have heard them because she stopped the talking and said in a very serious voice: “Jake is our guest for as long as he stays here. Make sure you treat him well. I don’t want to hear any complaints about your behaviour to him.”I was curious because it was the first time I had met anyone from a circus. Fortunately for me, the next morning, after being introduced to the class he sat in the only spare seat next to me. Of course I didn’t want to be nosy（管闲事的）but I couldn’t help looking at him sideways as I began my mathematics task. I noticed Jake was smaller than me and had dirty finger nails. His shirt was clean but had been repaired in many places and his trousers were helped up by a wide, leather belt. As he seemed to have no handkerchief and was sniffing loudly, I passed him one of mine. Immediately the boys began to whisper “What did you do that for? Leave him be!” I concentrated on my work. From my left a slight movement showed that Jake must have heard the remarks too. He seemed to be having great difficulty with his work and was struggling to hold his pen correctly. He looked around as if for help. I looked around too. The teacher was busy so I leaned over and offered to explain the problems to him. As he listened his mouth split into a smile. His eyes lit up as if a light had been turned on and he returned to the exercises with enthusiasm. He finished them qu ickly and proudly presented them to the teacher. “Well done, Jake,” she approved. Jake smiled and was soon busy sorting out information and adding more of his own.I thought about how Jake’s life would be. I remembered seeing the campsite and thinking how poor the facilities （设施）were. So I decided to help. As it was my turn to suggest a project for our grade, I put forward this idea. Our head teacher accepted it and so we began to prepare our plansto improve the campsite. Hope you will join us.56. Why did the students dislike Jake even before they saw him?A. They must have heard bad stories about circus people.B. They always judged a person by what he looks like.C. The teacher hadn’t introduced Jake to them beforehand.D. A newcomer was not welcome at that time.57. What’s the author’s attitude towards Jake?A. He copied the other boys’ behavior.B. He was distant about what Jake’s life was like.C. He couldn’t ignore what other people said about Jake.D. He had sympathy for the poor and disadvantaged.58. The author mentions how Jake did maths to show that _______.A. the teacher was helpful and friendlyB. the maths problem was too hard for himC. Jake was courageous and determinedD. the author was better at maths59. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To argue circus people should be treated fairly.B. To ask the reader to join in their project.C. To call on more people to help Jake.D. To show what is in need for a circus.【参考答案】56—59、ADCB阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

On a clear night, the sky is a wonderful thing. Is there life out there somewhere? Is there another place like Earth where life might exist? If so, where is it? And how far away is it?Recently, the American Kepler spacecraft found "22b" , a planet about six hundred light years away. It is the first planet in a " habitable zone" outside the solar system. That means the planet orbits a star like our Sun, but it is not too close to it, nor too far away. Because of this position, scientists say Kepler22b might have water, one of the main things needed for life.The newly-discovered planet is about two and a half times larger than the Earth. It is closer to its star than we are to the Sun, but 22b's sun is smaller than ours, and doesn’t produce as much heat. Scientific instruments show the new planet could be made of gases, rocks or some kinds of liquids.The Kepler spacecraft was named in honor of Johannes Kepler, the seventeenth century German astronomer. It was designed to examine a small part of the Milky Way galaxy and search for places like the Earth. It was made to inspect over 150,000 stars and measure how bright they are. It looks to see if a star's brightness gets less over a short time. If a planet passes between Kepler and the star, it blocks out part of the light. That is what suggested to scientists that there is at least one planet orbiting the star. The instruments on Kepler show the new planet as a small, black dot moving across its sun. An important part of the Kepler experiment is on the Earth. After the spacecraft gathers information, scientists use the space telescopes on the ground.Scientists have found over 2,300 new planets since Kepler was launched. About 200 of these are about the size of the Earth. Most are much larger, but it is the new planet's distance from its star that is important. For life to possibly exist there, the planet's temperature must not be too hot or too cold.63. What can we learn about Kepler-22b?A. Water must have been existed on it.B. It takes humans about 600 years to get there.C. It is made of gases, rocks and many kinds of liquids.D. It is the first planet in outer space where life may survive.64. The Kepler spacecraft was sent into space to ______.A. show honor to Johannes KeplerB. look for Earth-like planets in the skyC. observe the changes of a star's brightnessD. measure the brightest star among 150,000 stars65. In Paragraph 5 the author mainly tells us______.A. how the Kepler system worksB. if the Kepler system sees a new planetC. how the Kepler system uses the space telescopesD. why an important part of the Kepler system remains on the Earth66. What can we infer from the passage?A. Life may exist on the new planet in another form.B. It is colder on the new planet because its sun is smaller.C. Life can't exist on planets which are much larger than the Earth.D. The new planet's distance from its star decides on the possibilitv of life existence.【参考答案】63—66\DBAD阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A sick little gift is being kept alive thanks to her best friend--a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike.Alida was diagnosed（诊断）with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy（NEHI）when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter（过滤）oxygen through extra layers（膜）of cells making it hard or almost impossible to breathe. For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever crossed with a poodle-dog Mr Gibbs. Now--thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.63. What is Mr Gibbs?A. A pet dog.B. A policeman.C. A doctor.D. A firefighter.64. When did the doctor know Alicia caught the disease?A. At her birth.B. At the age of eight.C. Before she was one year old.D. When she was three years old.65. The underlined pa rt “the couple” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.A. Alida’s classmatesB. Alida’s parentsC. Alida’s doctorsD. Alida’s pets66. How did Alicia keep alive?A. By training her dog.B. By staying with her parents.C. By playing with her fellows.D. By breathing through a tube. 63—66、ACB D阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
