高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上13）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：40分钟）When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as wild cats or dogs. Other images show birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering(数目超过) all other animals.Early artists drawing these animals finished a meaningful and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing high walls or going into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex(建筑群). Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed (暴露) to the destructive(破坏性的) action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside.Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images are in a bad situation and are barely (几乎不能) recognizable. To prevent further damage, the place was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.1. The underlined phrase “pays heed to” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A. discoversB. watchesC. noticesD. affects2. According to the text, which animals appear most often on the cave walls?A. Birds.B. Wild dogs.C. Horses.D. Wild cats.3. Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?A. It was completely dark inside.B. The caves were full of wild animals.C. Painting materials were hard to find.D. Many painting spaces were difficult to reach.4. What could be the best title for the text?A. Wild Animals in ArtB. Hidden Prehistoric PaintingsC. Exploring Caves RespectfullyD. Determining the Age of French CavesII 完形填空A critic once described American writer Edith Wharton as a "self-made man." Array She liked the 1______ and repeated it.

高中英语素养阅读限时练习(高二上12)附答案解析
高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上12）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：40分钟）I阅读理解In the early days of human history, people survived by hunting wild animals, or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.From the sixteenth century on, the word farm has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word farm is linked to economics. The word farm comes from the Latin word firma, which means an unchanging payment. Experts say the earliest meaning of the English word farm was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns(山茶树) a hedge(篱笆). Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word hedging(用篱笆围) to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.You might say that someone is hedging his bet(两面投机) when he invests in several different kinds of businesses. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines(抓紧时机行事). Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.1. What did the word “farm” probably me an at first?A. Agricultural land.B. A yearly payment made as a tax or rent.C. An unchanging payment.D. Economics or economy.2. We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England ________ .A. They had land of their own.B. They paid to use hawthorn trees every year.C. They used hedging fields.D. They often suffered from financial loss.3. Which of the following is wise?A. A new mother quickly learns to try to sleep when her baby is quiet.B. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dry.C. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shining.D. Gather hay as it is rainy.4. If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to ________ .A. become a wise farmerB. hedge his betC. gather his hayD. make hay while the sun shines.II 完形填空About forty years ago, I was an instructor in the military academy at Woolwich when young Scoresby was given his first examination. Everybody answered the history questions well while he didn’t know anything. I knew that when examined again he would fail and be thrown out(被刷掉) from the military academy. I thought that 1________ one thing was sure to happen: The maths examination would destroy him in the end. Therefore, I decided to make his end as painless as possible. So, I pushed facts into his stupid head(填鸭式的硬灌) for hours every day for the second-round exam. I felt guilty day and night – what I was doing to him was not right. But I only wanted to 2________ his dismissal(落榜) a little less painful for him. Well, sir, try to imagine the result. I felt shocked. I never 3________ it would lead to such strange, laughable 4________ -- He took the first prize! And he got the highest praise.Then, the Crimean War 5________.

I said to myself that I was responsible for the country for this. I must 12________ with him and protect the nation against him as far as I could. 13________, I joined up with him. And 14________ we went to the battle field. And there –oh dear, it was terrible. Stupid mistakes, fearful mistakes – why, he never did anything that was right – nothing but 15________. But, you see, nobody knew the 16________ of how stupid he really was. Everybody carried out his mistaken instruction. He was so stupid that everyone 17________ his actions. They looked on his stupid mistakes as works of great intelligence. They 18________, honestly!Nobody else but me knew he was not normal or extremely stupid. His smallest mistakes made a man in his 19________ mind cry, and shout and scream painfully and angrily to himself, of course. And what 20________ me in a continuous fear was the fact that every mistake he made increased his glory and fame.I kept saying to myself that when at last they found outabout him, it will be like the sun falling out of the sky.

A total solar eclipse happens when the sun, moon and Earth 3______ (perfect) line up. Last year’s total solar eclipse was the first one in 99 years 4______ (pass) over parts of the whole United States. The new study found that bees went 5______ (silence) when within the path of totality of the solar eclipse. The results were recently published in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America.

高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上19）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：40分钟）Every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.Americans often use red to express heat. They may say they are red-hot about something unfair; when they are red-hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers(辣椒) found in many Mexican foods are called Red Hots for the color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say it is red hot. Especially the kind called Dixieland Jazz.Pink is a lighter kind of red. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool color.

A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car; that person may say he is green with envy. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the backside of the paper money.The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The day of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A black list is illegal now, but at one time some businesses refused to employ people who are on a black list for belonging to unpopular organizations.In some cases, colors describe a situation.

APeople have been burying the dead at Salem's Hope Cemetery since 1833. Array The place is filled with old gravestones and gothic mausoleums(哥特式陵墓),the spirits of the dead hanging over the land like an early morning fog.Keeping watch, a few steps from the road with her skirt over the pedestal(基座), is Goldie Belle Taylor, her face weathered but otherwise ingood condition. On this day, she is holding a bunch of pink roses because Goldie Belle always holds flowers. Someone makes sure of that."And she has had fresh flowers in her hands for the last 150 years." Karen Biery lives in Damascus, about five miles west of Hope Cemetery. She's written a book based on the legend of Goldie Belle Taylor titled "Believe." In 1886, at the age of two, young Goldie Belle used her hands to sop up(抹去) the left over elderberry juice from her father's iron kettle. She died not long after from iron poisoning. She was the love of her dad’s life, and he was so upset that he sold the family farm to buy the Italian made statue, which today marks her grave.At first, it was her father who brought the flowers and laid them in her hands. When he died in 1896, the flowers kept coming. Her flowers are different per season. Why do the flowers keep miraculously appearing? People have tried to find out by having camped by the statue, but not even the groundskeepers have been able to catch the criminal.It’s said that a fairy who arrives at Hope Cemetery looking for the grave of her birth mother. She comes across Goldie Belle's statue.1. Th e underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________ .A. her face in good conditionB. her bunch of pink rosesC. Goldie Belle Taylor is holding pink rosesD. Goldie Belle Taylor always holds flowers2. It can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph that ________ .A. her father was poisonousB. the iron kettle was poisonousC. elderberry juice was poisonousD. it was her father that hated her3. After her father died, the flowers in the hands of Goldie Belle Taylor ________ .A. usually changeB. were stolenC. are no longer freshD. come from a criminalBAntarctica(南极洲)’s melting ice, which has caused global sea levels to rise by at least 13.8 millimeters over the past 40 years, was thought to primarily come from the unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet(WAIS). Now, scientists have found that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS)—considered largely unaffected by climate change—may also be melting at an unexpectedly rapid speed.The WAIS, whose base is below sea level, has long been considered the most likely to break down. Besides gravity, a deep current of warm water slips beneath the sheet, melting it frombelow until it becomes a floating shelf at risk of breaking away. In contrast, extreme cold and abase mostly above sea level are thought to keep the EAIS relatively safe from warm waters.But as greenhouse gases warm much of the planet, driving stronger polar winds, some scientists think warm water carried by a circular current will start to invade East Antarctica’s once unassailable ice. A cooperation of more than 60 scientists last year, published in Nature, estimated that the EAIS actually added about 5 billion tons of ice each year from 1992 to 2017.Eric Rignot of the University of California, Irvine, and colleagues combined 40 years of satellite imagery and climate modeling and found that overall Antarctica now sends six times more ice into the sea each year than it did in 1979, with the majority coming from West Antarctica. But East Antarctica was responsible for more than 30% of Antarctica’s contribution to the 13.8-millimeter sea level rise over the past 40 years. “The more we look at this system the more we realize this is fragile,” Rignot says. “Once these glaciers become unstable there is no red button to press to stop it.”Rignot hopes the study brings greater attention to a part of Antarctica that has traditionally been understudied. Helen Fricker, a glaciologist (冰川学家) in California, agrees. “We need to monitor the entire Antarctica and we just can’t do that without international cooperation.”4. What is the new finding of scientists?A.The east Antarctica is losing ice at an increasing rate.B. The west Antarctica is melting six times faster than in 1979.C. 5 billion tons of ice is added to Antarctica each year.D. The sea level has risen by 13.8 mm over the past 40 years.5. Which factor leads to the EAIS’s melting fast?A．A base mostly over sea level. B．The force of gravity.C．The invasion of a warm current. D．Extremely low temperature.6．Which of the following best explains “unassailable” underlined in Para. 3 ?A．Fragile. B．Unattackable. C．Mild. D．Unstable.7．Which way does Helen Fricker specially advocate?A．Satellite imagery. B．Global monitoring.C．Worldwide climate modeling. D．Worldwide combined efforts.CWatch out -- millions of Crocs are out walking the streets. Recently we stepped into the debate over the safety of Heelys and other roller shoes--shoes with wheels that deploy when a kid wants to roll. Now, following in the footsteps of that story of crocs, we look at another shoe that people seem to either love or hate. Crocs are made of a lightweight material that softens and forms to the foot. A company in Colorado started selling them in two thousand two. It says Croc shoes keep feet cool, are easy to clean and resist bacteria and terrible odor(气味).Traditional Crocs are kind of funny looking. They are big and in some cases brightly colored. The first ones were meant for boaters who needed shoes that would not slip on wet surfaces or mark boat decks(甲板). However, now some have the traditional back strap(带). Some do not. Some don’t look like the original Crocs at all. There are flip-flops and women’s dress flats.Some people report that Crocs helped their foot or back pain. Some doctors say the shoes are good because they are wide and don’t rub the feet. Others, though, say Crocs don’t provide enough support to wear for hours.Among the biggest fans are people who stand a lot in their jobs, like people who work in hospitals. Yet hospitals in some countries have been moving to ban Crocs. One concern is the riskof infection if blood from a sick patient falls on someone’s foot through Crocs with holes in the top. The company does make shoes without holes. But there are also questions about whether Crocs may attract static electricity which can interfere with medical equipment. The company has said it knows of no reason Crocs would act any different from sneakers and other footwear worn by medical professionals.1. The underlined word “them” in Para.1st probably refers to ________ .A. CrocsB. HeelysC. ShoesD. Streets2. Boaters like Crocs because they ________ .A. are traditionalB. look funnyC. are big and in some cases brightly coloredD. don’t slip on w et surfaces or mark boat decks3. It can be inferred from the 2nd paragraph that ________ .A. now there are many different crocsB. original Crocs are the same as current onesC. current crocs are designed for womenD. flip-flops are most popular with women4. Hospitals in some countries have been moving to ban Crocs in order to _______ .A. attract static electricityB. make crocs without holesC. avoid the danger of infectionD. prevent feet through Crocs with holesDAn estimated 135 million people have low vision. 40 to 45 million others cannot see at all. Health experts warn that the number of blind people will increase sharply as the world population grows, and grows older. They say the number of blind people could almost double by 2020.October ninth is World Sight Day. A campaign called Vision Twenty-twenty offers materials to help governments and health workers develop national plans to prevent blindness. Its goal is to finish curable blindness by 2020.Cataracts cause the lens of the eye to become cloudy. In most of Africa and Asia, cataracts cause at least half the cases of blindness that can be cured. A simple operation can remove cataracts. Trachoma is an infectious(传染性的) disease spread person-to-person and by insects. Trachoma causes about fifteen percent of all cases of blindness. Most of the cases are in Africa. It can be treated with antibiotic medicines and an operation to correct the damage. The disease known as river blindness is also found mostly in Africa. Flies spread the infection. A yearly treatment of the drug Mectizan can control the disease. Finally, a lack of vitamin A as a result of poor food is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children.Every five seconds, another person in the world goes blind. Most blind people live in developing nations. India has at least nine million. About six million are in China, and seven million in Africa. Officials estimate that the world economy loses about twenty-eight-thousand-million dollars each year from curable blindness. A resolution passed by the World Health Assembly in May urges all governments to develop national plans to preventblindness. You can learn more about Vision Twenty-twenty on the Internet at v-twenty-twenty dot o-r-g.1. The unde rlined word “vision” in Para. 1 can be replaced by “______”.A. memoryB. revisionC. fantasyD. sight2. We can conclude from the text that blindness ______ .A. can’t be avoidedB. can’t be curedC. can rise with the rise of the world populationD. can reduce with the rise of the world population3.

高二英语阅读理解专项训练及答案一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Finding true love can be prey tough for a lot of people, but a lady from a fairly well-known San Francisco advertising agency seems to think money helps. She is offering $10,000 to any of her friends who can introduce her to her Mr. Right. She wants to find her future husband through this way.The unnamed husband seeker who sent out the email had just finished reading the best-selling book named Lean In. It was 11 p.m. on a Sunday night and she realized this was the second self-help book she had read in the month. She was still single. Things were not looking fine, but there was hope for her still. If the book had taught her anything, it was that she needed to take a more positive role in finding love. After all, if she wanted to get a better job, she wouldn't just sit outside an employer's building and wait for someone to offer it to her, so why should finding a husband be any different? But instead of going out and meeting new people she decided to write an email to all her friends, offering to give them $10,000 on her wedding day if any of them managed to introduce her to her future husband.“I am writing you today because I've decided to make an aggressive action plan on finding the man that I get to hang out with forever,” the woman writes in her email. “Introducing me to my husband is just not high on your to-do list. But I think I have an idea that might change that…” You guessed it, and this is where she offers to reward her “closest friends” with cold hard cash.“I will personally give ten thousand dollars to the friend who introduces me to my husband.”Here is how the program works:Step 1: You set me up on a date with a man.Step 2: I marry that man.Step 3: I give you $10,000 on my wedding day.I know you're thinking that this is nuts. Just plain crazy. 'You can find a husband without giving $10,000.' Well for starters, thank you! I'm happy.”（1）What does the lady offer $10,000 to any of her friends for?A. Celebrating the fact that she has made a decision to find a husband.B. Checking the power of money among her circle of friends.C. Encouraging her friends to help find her Mr. Right.D. Sharing her happiness of having found true love.（2）What does t he underlined word “nuts” mean in the last paragraph?A. deliciousB. sensibleC. angryD. foolish（3）What's the purpose of the author's mentioning getting a better job in Paragraph 2?A. To stress the importance of finding a good job.B. To stress the importance of taking a positive attitude.C. To show that waiting patiently is necessary to get a job.D.

（英语）高二英语阅读理解试题( 有答案和解析 ) 及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解For top students from low-income families, the challenge of applying to colleges is particularly difficult. 1 in 4 deal with all of that—the writing, the studying, the researching and applying—completely on their own. One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up withan adviser.That's the idea behind CollegePoint, an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT,SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than$80, 000 a year, they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students'questions.Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, think about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice ： Skidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process.Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what, CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle,an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing herfinancial-aid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-state wasn't her first choice, but it was the best option for her.（1） What is the second paragraph mainly about?（2） What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges?（3） Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University?A.She didn't want to stay far from home.B.Her favorite major was provided there.C.She would show her talents to the full.D.The university met her financial needs.（4） What is the best title for the text?A.How to Be a Financial AdviserB.Steps for Top Students to Select Ideal CollegesC.Advisers Help Poor Students Apply to Suitable CollegesD.CollegePoint—a Program Helping Students Score High【答案】（ 1） A（2） B（3） D（4） C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款帮助贫困家庭的优秀生申请合适大学的虚拟建议程序。

高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上11）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：40分钟）In seventeen seventy-six, a new nation declared its freedom from Britain. The Declaration of Independence was the document written to express the reasons for seeking that freedom. It stated that all men were created equal. It said that all men had the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.Not every citizen of the new United States of America had one important right, however. That was the right to vote. At first, the only people permitted to vote in the United States were white men who owned property and could read. By eighteen sixty, most white male citizens over the age of twenty-one had the right to vote. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth corrections to the Constitution gave black male citizens the right to vote. These corrections were passed in eighteen sixty-eight and eighteen seventy.In America in the eighteen hundreds, Women had no economic independence. For example, everything a woman owned when she got married belonged to her husband. If a married woman worked, the money she made belonged to her husband. In addition, women had no political power. They did not have the right to vote.In the eighteen fifties, women organized in an effort to gain voting rights. Their campaign was called the women's suffrage movement. American women sought to gain that right for more than seventy years. One of the leaders of the movement was Susan B. Anthony of Massachusetts. Miss Anthony was a teacher. She believed that women needed economic and personal independence. She also believed that there was no hope for social improvement in the United States until women were given the same rights as men. The rights included the right to vote in public elections. Susan B. Anthony was born in eighteen twenty. Her parents were members of the Quaker religion. She became one, too.
