高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)及其解题技巧及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we didn't always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children's Library. My 18-imonth-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people don't understand-a library is more than books; it's a community.Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. But it was also the place where I got my first email address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled(咯咯笑)too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasn't a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered me my first teaching job.I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually(虚拟地)visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can't always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.(1)Why does the author consider herself lucky today?A. She has become her mother's best friend.B. She has access to a reliable car now.C. She can meet friends at the library.D. She lives close to libraries.(2)What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Socializing in a library.B. Reading books in a library.C. Visiting a library with a family member.D. Building parent-child friendship in a library.(3)What is the author's attitude to her students' way of visiting libraries?A. Cautious.B. Favorable.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.(4)Why does the author write the text?A. To discuss why libraries are important.B. To express her deep love for libraries.C. To explain how libraries change.D. To introduce her favorite libraries.【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)B(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了从自己小时候到成家生子再到工作教书这一路上图书馆的变化。

【英语】高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)专项训练100(附答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解For the past few months, my three-year-old daughter has spent an hour every week learning a foreign language. She walks into a small room in a local school, where she and a handful of three and four-year-old spend the next hour dancing to “La Vaca Lola”, a song about a Spanish cow, creating finger puppets(木偶) to voice what they like and don't like (me gusta, no me gusta) and shouting out which animals are big (grande) or small (pequeno).She tells us little about the classes. In fact, for the first few weeks, nothing at all. I begin to wonder if it was a huge mistake (each lesson works out at about £9) but then I show her “La Vaca Lola” on YouTube. She shouts vaca with enthusiasm and with wh at I hope is a Spanish accent.The wish to enroll(使……加入) her in language lessons came, like most things, gradually and then in a sudden rush. In my day job, I read and edit stories about the Chinese economy. For a long time, I felt that it would be good for her to learn another language but I had no great plan as to when.Then I read Edward Luce's The Retreat of Western Liberalism and all my thoughts and worry about the economy combined into a panic. Waking in a sweat, it seemed obvious that if my daughter was to have any kind of future, she would have to learn another language. Ideally (理想地) immediately.I thought about Mandarin Chinese, one of the top 10 languages most important for our future, according to the British Council (others include Arabic, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Dutch and Japanese). But there were no classes for young children nearby. There were, however, local Spanish classes—the number-one language on the list. When she started to sing "Incy Wincy Spider" in Spanish and English—helped by a Spanish nursery worker-our decision was made.(1)What can we learn about the author's daughter from the first paragraph?A. She uses finger puppets to make her voice heard.B. She is the oldest student in her Spanish class.C. She learns Spanish by dancing to songs.D. She has learnt Spanish for one month.(2)How did the author feel about her daughter's class at first?A. Proud.B. Surprised.C. DelightedD. Doubtful.(3)Why did the author ask her daughter to learn a foreign language?A. To prepare her for the coming school education.B. To equip her for her future.C. To encourage her to have belief in herself.D. To develop her interest in singing.(4)What made the author decide to enroll her daughter in Spanish lessons?A. Her performance.B. Her great interest.C. The nursery worker's suggestion.D. The fast-growing economy.【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)B(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者让自己的女儿学习一种外语的原因以及学习过程中出现的一些问题。

The new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奥斯威辛) survivor—Lawrence S. Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn his degree.Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans. But Bacow said his family's journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States."My parents came to this country with almost nothing," Bacow said. "I wouldn't be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadn't had the opportunity to get the college education."Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His father's family fled anti-Jewish (反犹太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts' academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting up-and-coming professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldn't get elsewhere.Under Bacow's leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.(1)The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that ________.A. college education is out of reach to many AmericansB. his family changed their fate due to college educationC. few opportunities were available when his father came into the countryD. a college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz(2)What can we infer from the passage?A. The fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.B. Bacow's mother stimulated his interest in science.C. Bacow's father was good at working with electronics.D. Bacow's father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.(3)The underlined word "shaking up" in paragraph 5 probably means ________.A. reactivatingB. causingC. damagingD. taking over(4)What is this passage mainly about?A. How to be admitted to Harvard University.B. The history of Bacow's family.C. The art of Bacow's leadership in Tufts.D. Bacow's way to individual success.【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)A(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇名人传记,讲述了Bacow的个人成功之路。

高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)专题训练答案一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解Three months after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Rebecca Sell, then 24, a photojournalist for Fredericksburg photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining water-spotted photo albums. As she took the photo, something within her clicked. "I told them I could take the ruined pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修复) photos," she recalls. Although a bit sceptical, the couple agreed. Rebecca took their photos home, restored them and took them to the couple at their temporary home. "It felt so good to be able to do that for them," says Rebecca. When her editor, Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore damaged photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with paid time off from the paper, the two set up shop in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the community newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair took a new digital picture, then used high-tech software to erase water spots and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website linked to Dave's blog about the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue, as it came to be known, had emails from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help.Though digital restoration is a painstaking process, mending irreplaceable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out piles of ruined photo albums after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldn't bear to part with a few treasured pictures, including a portrait of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. "I didn't have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did," Emily says. "Almost every day I think about all the pictures I've lost. I'm so happy to have these two."In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures ruined by floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Volunteers make "copy runs" to disaster areas across the country to gather damaged photos from survivors; operating costs are covered by donations. "It's great to be able to give people some of their history back," says Rebecca. "One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away. Moments like that remind me why I do this."(1)When Rebecca took the picture of the New Orleans couple, she decided to .A. take them to their temporary homeB. help with their damaged photosC. set up shop in Pass ChristianD. cover Hurricane Katrina(2)From Paragraph 2, we know that Dave and Rebecca .A. quit their jobs in 2006B. inspired volunteers to join themC. spent four days mending the photosD. made their work known in their newspaper (3)How did Emily Lancaster feel when she first heard about Operation Photo Rescue? A. Excited. B. Hopeless. C. Satisfied. D. Sceptical.(4)What is the best title for the passage?A. Surviving HurricanesB. An Act of GenerosityC. Saving MemoriesD. A Lucky Couple【答案】(1)B(2)B(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,摄影记者丽贝卡塞尔和编辑戴夫·埃利斯通过照片修复,他们让很多人丢失的记忆得到恢复,同时,也赢得了人们的肯定。

2.阅读理解A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the "Nobel Prize" of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize --- the highest accolade in the field of animal conservation --- for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel from becoming the next Great Auk.When the 61-year-old first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding (人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds' nests and hatching(孵化)them under incubators, prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. The biologist has also been necessary in efforts to bring other rarespecies back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler.Prof Jones was awarded the $250,000 (£172,000) prize at a ceremony in London."As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didn't enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticism I received," reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Maurutius kestrel project had been seen as a "dead loss" at the time.
