日常生活类1、Are you familiar with the greeting, "Can I add you on WeChat?” It seems like every time we meet new friends or colleagues nowadays, the first thing that springs to mind is adding each other on the app. Nevertheless, more than 80 percent of WeChat users report feeling stressed or anxious when they receive a large number of messages, according to a study done recently by the app's developer Tencent. In other words, WeChat can overwhelm(使应接小暇) us,while also breaking down the boundaries between our work and private lives.Just think how easy it is now for bosses to hand out assignments during the holiday, so long as they have your WeChat contact. When you're at the cinema enjoying a romantic movie or having a barbecue in the backyard, you can never cut yourself off from the outside world unless you switch off your phone. Not to post something in WeChat Moments before replying to your boss first!Apart from interrupting your leisure time, WeChat can also reduce your productivity at work. For many office workers, logging in to WeChat on their computers at the start of the day has become routine. But what if browsing the Moments distracts us from doing the work? The app steals our time without us even noticing it, making us have the false belief that we are busy all the time.And as if that weren’t bad enough,there’re the “one-off” friends who take up space on our WeChat friend list. A handy way to check how many one-off friends you have is to take a look at your chat history with them. Sometimes, you only sent the initial friend requests so you could invite them to a WeChat group or inform them of something for your boss. Yet still, as your friend count(好友数量) ever goes up, it can make you feel the need to post selfies and share details of your life in your Moments, just so you can stay up to date.With WeChat , all our spare time is swallowed up by the constant torrent of messages and our attention keeps getting diverted by Moments and pop-up ads. So it’s time that we should do something to nip this problem in the bud.（1）What is most of WeChat users' reaction when receiving a mass of messages? A.They are quite upset.B.They think it’s unavoidable.C.They break down.D.They complain about Tencent.（2）Which of the following may make your boss angry according to Paragraph 2?A.Enjoying a movie at the weekend.B.Posting something in WeChat Moments.C.Having a barbecue on vacation.D.Ignoring the assignment he handed out when seeing it.（3）How can we decide who is the one-off friend on our WeChat friend list?A.By checking if you sent the initial friend request.B.By seeing if your boss asked you to inform him of something.C.By having a look at your chat record.D.By counting the number of your friends on the list.（4）What can be a suitable title for this text?A.Is WeChat becoming a necessity in our life?B.Are We What friend requests ruining your life?C.Does your boss want to be your WeChat friend?D.Is it better to have more WeChat friends?2、When the telephone rings late at night, most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling. A sister? Maybe. An emergency? Possibly.A mother? Probably not at that time of night. Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.At a time when families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce, friendships are becoming more and more important. Erika, a 32-year-old lawyer, is strengthened by her ten-year fri endship with her married friend Jane. “I was very sick one night, so I called Jane at about 3:00 a.m. to talk about it,” she says. “She was very supportive and even came over to take me to the doctor’s the next morning.”As American TV shows like Friends, which follows the lives of a very close groupof young friends, have become more popular, many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships. TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last, but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive.A TV show called Real Women is about the lives and relationships of five former school friends. In this show, family, husbands, and work are all less important than friendships. One of its actresses says the show reflects her own experience. “Friendship is about commitment. I don’t see some of my friends for ages but when we get together, it is as if time hasn”t passed.”This is true of Erika and Jane’s friendship. With Erika’s family 200 miles away, it is Jane w ho keeps a spare set of keys to Erika’s apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away. “Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom. It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do, but she knows I would do the same for her.”Erika feels that because she no longer sees her family every day, she now enjoys a closer relationship with her best friend. Jane, who may move to a different city soon, is worried about leaving such a support system of friends. “My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and, therefore, I don’t have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them. Friends are more up to date with what is happening.”（1）According to the passage, a late-night phone call for most women is probably from ______.A. a friendB. a relativeC. a strangerD. a doctor（2）TV shows like Friends tell us that ______.A. marriages with friends often end up in failureB. families and work are as important as friendsC. close friends help us face problems in lifeD. friendship fades(消退) as time goes by（3）Which of the statements will the author probably agree with?A. A near friend is more helpful than a faraway relative.B. Both marriage and friendship demand commitment.C. However far away we’re, pare nts worry about us.D. Long distance makesthe hearts closer.3、I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan (贷款) we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy i dea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their frie nds think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind.I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.（1）The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A.most families chose to go car-freeB.he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC.the cost of a new car was too muchD.the traffic jam was unbearable for him（2）What is the attitud e of the author’s family toward his plan?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Unconcerned.（3）What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?A.Argue against it.B.Take their advice.C.Think it over.D.Leave it alone.（4）What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A.Life cannot go without a car.B.Life without a car is a little bit hard.C.His life gets improved without a car.D.A car-free life does not suit everyone.4、Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together, they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred (憎恨). There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their managerwas in great anger when he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hocke y Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension (停赛) of the team for at least three years.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).（1） According to the author, recently the Olympic Games have ________.A. created goodwill between the nationsB. brought about only false national prideC. showed little international friendshipD. put an end to misunderstanding and hatred（2） What does the underlined word “disallowed” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Permitted to pass.B. Considered as reasonable.C. Won by the other side.D. Refused to accept.（3） What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A. The current organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. A game should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D. More and more athletes will compete for their own honor.5、Do you want to become an engineer? The new IMAX film Dream Big shows how engineering can improve people's lives. It teaches viewers how engineers use scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) skills to help the world. The film hits IMAX theaters nationwide on February 17 to celebrate Engineers Week.The film, taking place in locations like China, Dubai and Africa, tells the stories of engineers who try to come up with creative ideas to save energy and help people.Dream Big was directed by Greg MacGillivray who has 38 films under his belt, including some of the most successful films ever shown in IMAX theaters.How did MacGillivray get into the moviemaking business? “I grew up at the beach. My first movies were about surfing and the ocean. As time went on, I saw the changes in the ocean including pollution and overfishing. So I started making films about conservation of nature," he told TFK. Now, his films cover a variety of topics, from the natural world to human creation.One of the engineers in Dream Big is Angelica Hernandez. In high school,she was on a team that beat MIT, a university, in an underwater robotics competition. Today, the engineering work she does focuses on helping people use less energy and save money and resources. “I work with companies to promote energy effic iency with their commercial customers, so it's really trying to push forward all the measures that customers and high-energy users can apply,” she explains.“Engineering is such a good job—you make good money, travel around the world, solve amazing problems and help people," she says.The mission of Dream Big is to show people the good that engineers can do to the world. “That was the impulse of making this movie," MacGillivray explains. "We want to explain engineering in a way that will get the kids very excited about it."“Whoever and wherever you are,you can become an engineer,’’ he adds. “All you need is the creative spirit."（1）Who are the main roles of Dream Big?A.Businessmen.B.Engineers.C.Customers.D.Environmentalists.（2）What do MacGillivray and Angelica Hernandez have in common?A.They can make robots.B.They are good at filming.C.They have won awards in competitions.D.They care about environmental protection.（3）What is MacGillivray's purpose of his words in the last paragraph?A.To advise people to have big dreams.B.To promote his film Dream Big.C.To encourage people to be engineers.D.To share his success of Dream Big.（4）What can we infer from the text?A.Dream Big calls on people to learn from engineers.B.Angelica Hernandez will act in more films about engineers.C.Engineers have done a lot to help directors to develop IMAX films.D.Dream Big encourages people to make money by being engineers.6、 Everyone should be so lucky as to have a friend like Francia Raisa. On Thursday, singer and actress Selena Gomez, 25, used Instagram to explain why she was “laying low” this summer. She posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her friend Francia Raisa holding hands. She said she recently received a kidney transplant from her best friend because of complications(并发症) from lupus(狼疮), an autoimmune disease, which means it is the result of the immune system attacking normal tissue, including the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs.People with lupus may first experience tiredness, joint pain or a little bit of rash(皮疹) on their bodies and can go for a long time before their doctors realize it is more serious. Many people see two or four doctors before the real problem is picked up. According to Dr. Kyriakos Kirou, roughly a third to one-half of people with lupus develop kidney disease, and up to one in five of them will eventually need a transplant, sometimes because they weren’t treated with effective drugs to prevent the immune system from attacking the kidneys. Though Gomez said that she was “very well now,” she warned about the dangers of not taking medical diagnoses seriously, like she initially did.Her Instagram post also called attention to two major health topics: the need for living organ donators and the fact that Gomez represents three groups more likely to be diagnosed with lupus and lupus-related kidney disease. Nine out of 10 people diagnosed with lupus are women, and most develop the disease between the ages of15 to 4（4） And lupus is two to three times more common among women of color, including Hispanic women, according to the Lupus Foundation.Raisa is Latina, and Gomez’s father is of Mexican origin. While it’s not essential that the organ donator and receiver be of the same ethnicity, people who share a similar background sometimes are better matched, according to data from the United Network for Organ Sharing.（1）What can we learn about Francia Raisa?A.She is lucky.B.She is selfless.C.She is optimistic.D.She is encouraging.（2）What is lupus like at its early stage?A.It is deadly.B.It is hard to recognize.C.Its symptoms are psychological.D.It reminds you of a kidney disease.（3）What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.People with lupus.B.Colored women lupus patients.C.Lupus patients with kidney disease.D.Women between the ages of 15 to 4（4）（4）What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A.Raisa and Gomez have a similar background.B.Gomez has fully recovered thanks to the kidney from Raisa.C.It is vital for the donator and receiver to be of the same race.D.The organ from the donator of the same race matches the receiver better答案1答案：（1）A; （2）D; （3）C; （4）B解析：（1）细节理解题。
高考英语真题汇编 日常生活类短文阅读
毛额市鹌鹑阳光实验学校s2011-高考英语真题汇编日常生活类阅读(2012江苏)CMedical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem is to put the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the body—and the body from them—until they can be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger(引发) this release, including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risks—burns, for example. Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shiningnear-infrared light (NIR,近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isn't new. Researchers around the globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb cither ultraviolet (UV,紫外线) or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV and visible light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. But few compounds(化合物) a bsorb NIR well and go through chemical changes.That changed last year when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the University of California, San Diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group calledo-nitrobenzyl (ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown. But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer.So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules that's even better. This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. Cresol contains reactive(易反应的) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additional light continues this breakdown, potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. What's more, Almutairi says, Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells.63. According to the passage, which of the following could be the best trigger?A. Temperature change.B. NIR light.C. Acidity change.D. UV light.64. Why in ONB unsatisfactory?A. It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light.B. It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release.C. It has not come onto the market up till now.D. I t is not effective enough and could be poisonous.65. Which word can be used to complete the following process of changes?A. ProtectedB. formedC. exposedD. combined【考点】日常生活类—说明文【文章大意】。

高考英语试题精选-阅读理解专题日常生活类(2018-2022)高考英语真题分项汇编（全国）2021年（新高考1卷）By day,Robert Titterton is a lawyer.In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner.“I’m not a trained musician,but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years.His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musicians don’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves.He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.“A lot of skills are needed for the job.You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.”Mr Titterton explained.Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.Some pieces of music can go for40minutes and require up to50page turns,including back turns for repeat passages.Silent onstage communication is key,and each pianist has their own style of“nodding”to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.But like all performances,there are moments when things go wrong.“I was turning the page to get ready for the next page,but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,”Mr Titterton said,“Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists,although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.“My husband is the worst page turner,”she laughed.“He’s interested in the music,feeling every note,and I have to say:‘Turn,turn!’“Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”24.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?A.Read music.B.Play the piano.C.Sing songs.D.Fix the instruments.25.Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?A.Boring.B.Well-paid.C.Demanding.D.Dangerous.26.What does Titterton need to practise?A.Counting the pages.B.Recognizing the“nodding”.C.Catching falling objects.D.Performing in his own style.27.Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband“the worse page turner”?A.He has very poor eyesight.B.He ignores the audience.C.He has no interest in music.D.He forgets to do his job.2021年（上海卷）One early morning,I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again.My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word“Poems”appeared in big,hot pink letters.“Is it good?”I asked her.“Yeah,”she answered.“There's one I really like and you'll like it,too.’I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’”she read the title.Who is Patty?I wondered.The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered(散乱的)where they lay,…The poem was just three short sections.The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise(稳重),I'll miss her harum-scarum(莽撞的)noise,And look in vain(徒劳地)for scattered toys.And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow was hed over me.Whoever Patty was,she was a mean girl.Then,the shock.“It’syou,honey,”My mother said sadly.To my mother,the poem revealed a parent's affection when her child grows up and leaves.To me, the“she”in the poem was horror.It was my mama who would be sad.It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What's wrong?”my mother asked.“Oh Mama,”I cried.“I don't want to grow up ever!”She smiled.“Honey,it's okay.You're not growing up anytime soon.And when you do,I'll still love you,okay?”“Okay,”I was still weeping.My panic has gone.But I could not help thinking about that silly poem.After what seemed like a safe amount of time,I read the poem again and was confused.It all fit so well together,like a puzzle.The language was simple,so simple I could plainly understand its meaning,yet it was still beautiful.I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry,words that had the power to make or break a person's world.I have since fallen in love with other poems,but“Patty Poem”remains my poem.After all,“Patty Poem”gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits,but because it was the one that hurt me the most.（1）Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A.It was a thick enough book.B.Something on its cover caught her eye.C.Her mother was reading it with interest.D.It has a meaningful title.（2）After her mother read the poem to her,the writer felt______at first.A.sadB.excitedC.horrifiedD.confused（3）The writer's mother liked to read＂Patty Poem＂probably because______.A.it reflected her own childhoodB.it was written in simple languageC.it was composed by a famous poetD.it gave her a hint of what would happen（4）It can be concluded from the passage that＂Patty Poem＂leads the writer to_______.A.discover the power of poetryB.B.recognize her love for puzzlesC.C.find her eagerness to grow upD.D.experience

We all spoke the same language of passes and shots.We understood one another perfectly.As darkness came over the field and the match ended,the goal keeper,Juan,walked over to me and said in a matter-of-fact way,“In your home,do you have a moon too?”I was surprised.After I explained to Juan that yes,we did have a moon and yes,it was very similar to his,I felt a sort of awe(敬畏)at the possibilities that existed in his world.In Juan’s world,each village could have its own moon.In Juan’s world.the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous. Anything was possible.In our society,we know that Earth has only one moon.We have looked at our planet from every angle and found all of the wildest things left to find.I can,from my computer at home,pull up satellite images of Juan’s village.There are no more continents and no more moons to search for, little left to discover.At least it seems that way.Yet,as I thought about Juan’s question,I was not sure how much more we could really rule out.I am,in part,an ant biologist,so my thoughts turned to what we know about insect life and I knew that much in the world of insects remains unknown.How much,though?How ignorant(无知的)are we?The question of what we know and do not know constantly bothered me.I began collecting newspaper articles about new species,new monkey,new spider…,and on and on they appear.My drawer quickly filled.I began a second drawer for more general discoveries:new cave system discovered with dozens of nameless species,four hundred species of bacteria found in the human stomach.The second drawer began to fill and as it did I wondered whether there were bigger discoveries out there,not just species,but life that depends on things thought to be useless,life even without DNA.I started a third drawer for these big discoveries.It fills more slowly,but all the same,it fills.In looking into the stories of biological discovery,I also began to find something else,a collection of scientists,usually brilliant occasionally half-mad,who made the discoveries.Those scientists very often see the same things that other scientists see,but they pay more attention to them, and they focus on them to the point of exhaustion(穷尽),and at the risk of the ridicule of their peers. In looking for the stories of discovery,I found the stories of these people and how their lives changed our view of the world.We are repeatedly willing to imagine we have found most of what is left to discover.We used to think that insects were the smallest organisms(生物),and that nothing lived deeper than six hundred meters.Yet,when something new turns up,more often than not,we do not even know its name.65.How did the author feel on his arrival in the Amazon?A.Out of place.B.Full of joy.C.Sleepy.D.Regretful.66.What made that Amazonian evening wonderful?A.He learned more about the local language.B.They had a nice conversation with each other.C.They understood each other while playing.D.He won the soccer game with the goal keeper.67.Why was the author surprised at Juan’s question about the moon?A.The question was too straightforward.B.Juan knew so little about the world.C.The author didn’t know how to answer.D.The author didn’t think Juan was sincere.68.What was the author’s initial purpose of collecting newspaper articles?A.To sort out what we have known.B.To deepen his research into Amazonians.C.To improve his reputation as a biologist.D.To learn more about local cultures.69.How did those brilliant scientists make great discoveries?A.They shifted their viewpoints frequently.B.They followed other scientists closely.C.They often criticized their fellow scientists.D.They conducted in-depth and close studies.70.What could be the most suitable title for the passage?A.The Possible and the Impossible.B.The Known and the Unknown.C.The Civilized and the Uncivilized.D.The Ignorant and the Intelligent.2020年(新高考全国I卷)Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree.That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor’s degree.Mauer,of Edgar,Wisconsin,grew up on a farm in a family of10children.Her dad worked at a job away from the farm,and her mother ran the farm with the kids.After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college,working to pay her tuition（学费）,because therewas no extra money set aside for a college education.After graduation,she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own.She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing.She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home.She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids.Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree:Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills,and her68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all,she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed（牺牲）to achieve her goal,giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study.“Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,”she says.However,her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree.Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that’s pretty powerful.4.What did Jennifer do after high school?She helped her dad with his work.She ran the family farm on her own.A.She supported herself through college.B.She taught her sisters and brothers at home.5.Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield?C.To take care of her kids easily.

involving a lot more than that.Hence this book,Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia,which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan,where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea.It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land,and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam,his translator,a lovely24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha,his hosts in Tashkent,and a string of foreign aid workers.This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan,made of friendliness and warmth,but also its darker side of society.In Samarkand,Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders,while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing.In Ferghana,he attends a mountain funeral（葬礼）followed by a strange drinking party.And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms,diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references,making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan,seen from Western eyes.His judgment and references are decidedly American,as well as his delicate stomach.As the author explains,this is neither a travel nor a history book,or even a piece of reportage.Whatever it is,the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.8.What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan?A.His friends’invitation.B.His interest in the country.C.His love for teaching.D.His desire to regain health.9.What does the underlined word“that”in paragraph2refer to?A.Developing a serious mental disease.B.Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.C.Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.D.Writing an article about the Aral Sea.10.Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell’s road trip in Uzbekistan?A.Romantic.B.Eventful.C.Pleasant.D.Dangerous.11.What is the purpose of this text?A.To introduce a book.B.To explain a cultural phenomenon.C.To remember a writer.D.To recommend a travel destination.2021年（天津卷）When people ask me how I started writing,I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language.Having said that,I did not know for a long time what I was looking for.It was not until I followed this feeling to itssource that I discovered I had a passion for writing.With some encouragement from my colleagues,I had one of my poems published.This bit of success,however,was the point where my problem began.Back in1978,I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning,teaching freshman composition.Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons.I composed my lectures on the way,and that was all the thinking time I had.When I returned home,there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.As a way out,I decided to get up two hours before my usual time.My alarm was set for5:00 A.M.The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm’s reach.The second day I set two clocks,one on my night table,and one out in the hallway.I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken.This was when my morning writing began.Since that first morning in1978,I have been following the habit to this day,not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published.When I decided to write a novel,I divided my two hours:the first for poetry,the second for fiction.Well or badly,I wrote at least two pages a day.This is how my novel,The Line of the Sun.was finished.If I had waited to have the time,I would still be waiting to write my novel.What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.For many people,the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision:taking the time to create,stealing it from yourself if it’s the only way.36.What motivated the author to start her writing career?A.Her strong wish to share.B.Her keen interest in writing.C.Her urgent need to make a living.D.Her passionate desire for fame.37.What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing?A.She was too exhausted to write after a busy day.B.She had trouble in deciding on her writing style.C.She had to take time to discipline her daughter.D.She was unsure about her writing skills.38.Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway?A.In case the clock in her room broke down.B.In case she failed to hear the ringing.C.To force herself out of bed.D.To wake up her family.39.How did the author manage to finish her novel?A.By sticking to writing every morning.B.By writing when her mind was most active.C.By drawing inspirations from classic novels.D.By reducing her teaching hours at school.40.What can we learn from the author’s success in her writing career?A.It is never too late to change your job.B.Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time.C.A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action.Daily life provides ideas for creative writing.2019年（江苏卷）The65-year-old Steve Goodwin was

English speakers.His teacher,Thomas Whaley,is next to him,whispering support.“…Vote for…me…”Except for some stumbles,Chris is doing amazingly well.When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion,Whaley

read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience.What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes.“It takes a lot for any student，”Whaley explains，“especiallyfor a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say，‘I don’t know，but I want to know.’”Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.The answer broke his heart.Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast（夸耀）about themselves.“Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities,”Whaley says，“is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”24.What made Chris nervous？A.Telling a story.B.Making a speech.C.Taking a test.D.Answering a question.25.What does the underlined word“stumbles”in paragraph2refer to?A.Improper pauses.B.Bad manners.C.Spelling mistakes.D.Silly jokes.26.We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to_________.A.help students see their own strengthsB.assess students’public speaking skillsC.prepare students for their future jobsD.inspire students’love for politics27.Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?A.Humorous.B.Ambitious.C.Caring.D.Demanding.2019年6月(浙江卷)Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby.He finds old military(军队的)medals for sale in antique stores and on the Internet.But unlike most collectors,Zac tracks down the medals’rightful owners,and returns them.His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother,a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A.G.Piccoli,found in an antique shop.Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart-he earned one himself in a war as a soldier.So when his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do.Through the Internet,Zac tracked down Corrado’s sister Adeline Rockko.But when he finally reached her,the woman flooded him with questions:"Who are you？What antique shop？"However, when she hung up,she regretted the way she had handled the call.So she called Zac back andapologized.Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown,N.Y."At that point,I knew she meant business,"Zac says."To drive eight hours to come to see me."The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown.Corrado,a translator for the Army during WWII,was killed in action in Europe.Before hearing from Zac,Adeline hadn’t realized the medal was missing.Like many military medals,the one Zac’s mother had found was a family treasure."This medal was very precious to my parents.Only on special occasions(场合)would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands," Adeline says.As a child,Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant.“But as I grew older,”Adeline says,"and missed my brother more and more,I realized that was the only thing we had left."

高三英语 关于家庭生活类话题阅读理解 专项训练题一
高三英语关于家庭生活类话题阅读理解专项训练题一学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The Marches were a happy family, Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Marmee, as the March girls called their mother.The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always. The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. “Your husband is very ill,” it said, “come at once.” The girl tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩红热) when she was taking care of the sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Marmee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together.Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety.Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Marches’. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall Beth had known for some time that she couldn’t live much longer to be with the family an d in the spring time she died.News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer and soon afterwards founded a school for boys.And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to.1．The members of the March family were Father March, Mrs. March and their .A. five daughtersB. four daughtersC. son and four daughtersD. son and five daughters2．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The March FamilyB. The March ParentsC. The March GirlsD. The March Relatives3．It can be inferred from the passage that the March family had .A. more girls than boysB. wealthy neighborsC. both happiness and sadnessD. a lot of rich relativesThe first six months I was married, I truly wanted to scream and pull my hair out. My husband and I really had some all-out battles about his parents (regarding finances, where we would live, religious issues, etc.). Unfortunately, he was completely oblivious to how I felt or that anything was truly wrong. When I was going through all of this with my husband, I really felt so alone. I thought I was crazy/selfish to feel that way and often blamed myself. At first, I called him a Mama’s Boy and told him I felt like I was a low priority to him. This, of course, did not go over well... so I changed my direction.I’ve been married for three years now, and Jenna’s book played a big role in gaining my husband’s loyalty. I started out by making a decision that I would not berate (责怪) my husband for his family’s actions. After all, he can’t help what his relatives do, and to blame him for other people’s actions wouldn’t really be fair. Secondly, I made a resolution that I would NEVER let them create an argument or problem between my husband and me... this was really a groundbreaking moment for me. After all, it was in my power to control what items became issues in my marriage. I wouldn’t allow petty stuff his family did to upset our balance... that would just give them more power, control, and influence. This took a lot of time, but once my husband realized that I was taking the high road, he started listening to me more.I promised “for better or for worse” and I decided not to let my in-laws make it worse. As a new bride, I had no idea what I was in for in terms of family management, and even now I take time to re-read certain sections from Jenna’s book periodically. It is taking time and patience to gain my husband’s loyalty, and it’s an ongoing process —but I think it’s well wort h it.4．What can be learned from the first paragraph?A. The writer agreed with her mother/father-in-law in religion.B. The writer felt really happy the first six months she was married.C. Money might be no problem for the writer’s family.D. Her husband didn’t care about her so much as expected.5．Which of the following column names best suits the passage?A. A method of sound income and environment for employees.B.

He soon realized it was the beginning of an exciting treasure hunt.He found two pieces of paper along with the mysterious map. One was written with the instructions, “FIND THE WORDS.” The other piece of paper had several strange symbols scattered all over it.Dad, fortunately, was there to help his son figure out the mystery. He folded up the paper with the symbols on it, and together they formed a message, which had another set of instructions, “UNDER STEPS.” The smart little boy knew exactly what to do so he went to look under the steps of his house. Without too much effort, he found a box below the staircase.It didn’t take him long to figure out what to do next: open it up! Inside the box were some very interesting objects, including another piece of a treasure map and two broken pieces of paper. These were the most interesting finds because they contained what appeared to be a collection of letters on them. Finally, they knew where the treasure was from the letters: IN THE BUSH UNDER YOUR Y ARD.After searching all over the yard, following several clues and wondering where everything would lead, the pair finally found what they had been looking for. And it was exactly what you would want after such an adventure: a treasure box!The pair pulled it out of the ground and cleaned away all the dirt. The dad put the box in front of his son, and the little boy couldn’t contain his excitement. So he opened it u p and finally found out what was inside.Inside was more treasure than any little boy could ever want. There were hundreds of coins and all sorts of pirate treasure, including what looks like a pearl necklace and some silver dishes. 12．What led the little boy to start his treasure hunt?A.

Under the steps.C. Under the ground.D. In a box below the staircase.15．How did the little boy feel about his finding?A. Overjoyed.B. Disappointed.C. Grateful.D. Unworthy.Marjorie grew up with a sense of worthlessness. Again and again her father said she would never accomplish anything in life. He told her she was a loser and that anything she did was sure to end in failure. With these words constantly ringing in her ears she grew up looking for someone who would love her and see her as a person of worth. This led her into relationships that disappointed her, ending in pain yet, which was another proof that she was worthless and unlovable. Where does our sense of self-worth come from?It is true that the foundation for a person’s self-worth is laid in the home. Words that we hear in our home can build or tear down our worth. Encouraging words are words of life to us while words of criticism are words of death. Other people like teachers, friends and employers add to the collection of life-giving death words in a person’s heart. Over time a person begins to see themselves in the light of these words. In this situation can one develop a sense of worth? Feeling worthless is possibly the most obvious symptom of low self-esteem（自尊心）. But it’s easy to overcome. However tough your childhood is, you can still choose to enrich the world every day simply by the way you interact with others and make caring decisions. Whether we contribute anything or not is a choice. Feeling worthless means that you’re not doing as well in the areas that matter to you and therefore you need to try to increase your self-esteem. To feel worthwhile, you’ll have to really work at it and never give up on yourself.All human beings are capable of adding value to society, including you. Thus there are no excuses for saying things like “I’m worthless, stupid, useless” because you have the choice not to be any of these things.16．From Paragraph 1, we can know that ________.A. Marjorie was a very confident womanB. fathers decide children’s future developmentC. family education affects children’s growthD. children sho uldn’t follow their parents’ advice17．The third paragraph mainly shows us ________.A. what is self-esteemB. why we feel worthlessC. when we should make a choiceD. how we should change ourselves18．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. all of us can contribute to societyB. our self-esteem is only built at homeC. people should treat children strictly like their parentsD. people should accomplish anything that matters to us19．Which of the following is the best title of this text?A. The reasons for worthlessnessB. Take action to become worthwhileC. The importance of fathers’ educationD. Study to get self-esteemAerial performer Jennifer Bricker was born without legs, but she never let it stop her.Wrapped in a loop of red silk hung from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music. Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back, high above the ground a move that’s all the more daring because she has no legs.Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker. She had big brown eyes, a bright smile, and huge amounts of energy. When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket, they refused.Jennifer soon learned to walk — and run — on her hands and bottom, and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline（蹦床） with her three older brothers. “My parents didn’t treat me differently so I didn’t grasp the concept that I was different. I knew I didn’t have legs but that wasn’t stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do.”At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs, but she never really took to them — she moved more freely without.In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta. Jennifer loved to watch the women’s gymnastics team, and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US. When Moceanu and the women’s team won gold, Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast, too. She took up power tumbling, which involves performing floor exercises down a runway. But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability.At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer.20．Why did Jennifer determine to be a gymnast?A. She knew that she was different from others.B. She wanted to make allowances for her disability.C. She was eager to participate in the Junior Olympics.D. She was greatly influenced by Dominique Moceanu.21．What do we know about Jennifer Bricker?A. She felt embarrassed without legs.B. She was carried in a bucket as a baby.C. She was brought up as a normal child.D. She lost her legs when she was adopted.22．Which of the following can best describe Jennifer Bricker?A. Self-respected.B. Cautious.C. Sensitive.D. Clever.参考答案1．B2．C3．C【解析】本文讲述的是March家的女儿们从小到大的情况。

2020年高考英语阅读理解日常生活类专练（附答案）1.阅读下面短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person's name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you've been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names.Admit you don't know.Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, "I'm working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?"Use associations.Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng…… tall, black hair." To reinforce(加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time.That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.（1）If you can't remember someone's name, you may .A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you（2）When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember .A. all their namesB. a couple of names firstC. just their last namesD. as many names as possible（3）What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.2.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。

高中英语阅读理解基础练习(日常生活类)(含答案)
高中阅读理解基础练习(日常生活类)(A)Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you’ll just accept that, the following will show you how.First, relax. If you are over worried about something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with saying like “Oh, my god! I always forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’t remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.1.The first two paragraphs just tell us.A．Barbara was a very rich person．B．examples of memory problemsC．Mark often forgot his friends’ names D．language problems of two persons 2．When you forget things, you _______.A．must be too careless B．shouldn’t take notice of the resultC．must accept the fact D．shouldn’t lose heart about your memory3．The word “opportunities” in the fifth paragraph means “_______.”A．places B．doctors.C．chances D．positions4．According to the passage, _____ can make your memory better.A．realizing your memory problems B．talking to your friendsC．doing sports every day D．making mind pictures of what you see5．The purpose of the passage is to help you ______.A．to introduce the guest B．to improve your memoryC．to remember new words D．to forget unhappy things(B)Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them.Maybe we wound never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.1. The first paragraph tells us_______A. what is the feeling of having no friendsB. how to communicate with friendsC. making friends is a need in people’s lifeD. we need to be alone in our life2. According to the author, why sometimes friends don’t get along well?

This passage mainly tells us ______A.that people are all friendsB. that people need friendsC. how to get to know friendsD.how to name a place(C)Last Friday a storm tore through two villages and destroyed fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged(损坏)that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or torn roofs. One person was killed, seven were badly injured and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller injuries. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless as a result of the storm.A farmer, Mr. C.Y. Tan said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “ I was in the kitchen with my wife and children ,”he said, “when we heard a loud noise.A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We managed to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.”Mrs. Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she noticed that her house was shaking. She rushed outside immediately with her children. “ There was no time to take anything, ” she said. “ A few minutes later, the roof came down. ”Soldiers helped to bring people out of the flooded area and the Welfare(福利)Department provided food, clothes and shelter.1 .How many houses could no longer be lived in after the storm?A.

For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金）(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)
