高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 66Passage 1My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone (长号). I practised about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there's something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics (假肢).This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band (行进管乐队).I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band — not because it was a high school band and I was only in seventh grade, but probably because my body was different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off!Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down, I didn’t even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my MP3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself, “OK, I can get through today.”Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are in a measure (小节). I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It’s a normal problem that we musicians share. When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations. It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.1. In what way is Sara different from other kids?A. There’s something wrong with her body.B. She knows how to play many instruments.C. She learned to play the drums at a very early age.D. She kept playing the trombone for the longest hours.2. When invited to join the marching band, Sara________.A. said no at firstB. had no idea what to doC. followed the instructor’s adviceD. believed that she would make it3. How does Sara probably feel when she’s with the band?A. Bored.B. Relaxed.C. Successful.D. Afraid.4. What would be the best title for the text?A. A High School BandB. A Young DrummerC. My Love for MusicD. My Magic HandsPassage 2I decided to go back to school in the fall of 2008 after not being happy with my current job and financial status. I obtained my Associate Degree in May 2002 in Commercial Arts. After graduation, I had trouble obtaining a job in that field. For years, I was going from one job to another feeling unfilled, and I was not satisfied with the instability.I decided to go back to school for either International Business or Psychology. Iweighed the pros and cons of both professions and Psychology won. I like helping my friends and family, when they go through hard situations in their life by giving them sound advice and being honest with them. Also, I was interested in “the mind”.I was searching for online schools because my work schedule at my current job would not allow me to attend a regular class. I was nervous about starting online classes because I heard mixed stories from other friends who were taking online classes. I decided to do it anyway to experience something different. I wanted to find an online school that was affordable and reputable. Through my search, I discovered Walden University, which is specially for working adults who want to obtain a bachelor’s degree or higher. The process of getting accepted was easy, which included writing an essay on why I wanted to attend their school, transferring my previous credits,etc.I am currently enrolled in the Bachelors program for psychology, and I am paying for college via financial-aid loans and grants. This experience has been interesting yet trying as sometimes it was difficult to balance work, school and home life. I learned a lot about psychology and myself. For example, I like writing about current events, relationships and traveling. I thought my English composition was ordinary, but after taking a few classes at Walden University, I improved my English composition and it made me feel confident enough to start writing professionally so I became a freelance (自由撰稿) writer. Currently, I am only three classes away from obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology! It was one of the best decisions I made in my life.1. What did the author study originally when he was in college?A. Psychology.B. Commercial Arts.C. International Business.D. English Composition.2. What do we know about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He decided to study International Business at first.B. He wanted to study two majors.C. He liked Psychology better.D. He chose his major with the help of his friends.3. Why was the author nervous about starting online classes?A. Because he heard some negative remarks about it.B. Because he was worried that he didn’t have enough time to study.C. Because he feared he would fail the entrance exam.D. Because he was afraid that he didn’t have enough money.4. According to the passage, the author ____.A. was not able to find a full-time jobB. is most interested in writingC. paid for his schooling with the help of his familyD. is satisfied with his achievementsPassage 3Mark's brother, Jamie, rang Mrs. Grady's doorbell. "You know her better than I do, Mark. You do the talking. ""Hi, Mrs. Grady, " said Mark when their neighbor opened her door. "Would you like us to shovel(铲雪) your sidewalk and driveway? "Shoveling was Jamie's idea, a way to earn enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom video game that came out the next day.Mrs. Grady touched her hand to her heart. "That would be wonderful, boys. I think the job is getting to be too much for me. ""It will cost 10 dollars, " Jamie said."If that's OK, " Mark added."Oh dear. " Mrs. Grady sounded disappointed. "I haven't been able to get to the bank. I can offer homemade cookies, but I realize that's not what you had in mind. "Mark was going to say that Mrs. Grady could pay them another time, but Jamie cut him off. "We'll come back later. "①As they struggled through the snow out of Mrs. Grady's driveway, Mrs. Grady stood at her window, watching them.At the same time, Mark was confused. She didn't look like the person who'd come to his rescue last summer when Mr. Dunn's collie(牧羊犬), Goldie, escaped from her backyard. ②Goldie had just wanted to play, but Mark didn't feel comfortable around big dogs. And Goldie had boxed him in between the wooden fence and the cedar hedge.③Then Mrs. Grady's front door had flown open. Mrs. Grady must have seen him from across the street. "Hold on, Mark. I'm coming!"Her apron had flapped in the wind like a banner as she strode across the street holding a kitchen broom. "Goldie!"she'd called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head, Mrs. Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog. She wasn't much taller than Mark, but she'd stood firm as a rock in front of him as she flung her arm out toward Mr. Dunn's house. "Goldie, go home!"Thenshe'd swept her broom to hurry the dog along. "Get!" Goldie had obeyed. ________ ④When Mark's father had appeared at their side, he'd said to Mrs. Grady, "That was very brave!Thank you. "Mrs. Grady had laughed. "It was nothing. Good neighbors watch out for each other, don't they? "And now Mrs. Grady needed Mark as much as he'd needed her last summer.He smiled and waved at Mrs. Grady, then thrust his shovel deep into the snow. He lifted snow over his shoulder."Hey!"Jamie shouted. "What are you doing? "Mark couldn't explain about Goldie and watching out for neighbors. "I like Mrs. Grady's cookies, " he said and scooped up another shovelful."It'll take you all day, "his brother sighed. "We'll never get that game. "Mark shrugged and kept digging.He heard Jamie's annoyed sigh and then, surprisingly, the bite of Jamie's shovel against the snow. Mark grinned. Jamie had known all along it was the right thing to do."Once the other neighbors see the good job we've done, they'l line up to hire us, " said Jamie. "We'll make money soon enough. " As usual, he had it all worked out.1. Mrs. Grady sounded disappointed mostly because ________ .A. She couldn't afford to pay Mark and JamieB. Mark and Jamie wanted to get paid for shovelingC. She realized Mark and Jamie disliked her cookiesD. Mark and Jamie wanted the money for a video game2. Which blank is the sentence "Mark had tried to call for his dad, but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth. "most likely to be put in? ________A. ①B. ②C. ③D. ④3. What do we know about the brothers? ________A. Mark is kind and Jamie is selfish.B. Mark is helpful and Jamie is rude.C. Mark is easy-going and Jamie is shy.D. Mark is grateful and Jamie is innocent.4. What is the best title for the passage? ________A. The right thing.B. The heavy snow.C. A money-making plan.D. A friendly neighborhood.Passage 4Ask anybody out there, what is the most important thing in his life—Fame, Fortune and Money, and there is a chance that he is going to say, money, because with that, fame and fortune comes quite easily. On the other hand, if you add "family" to these three choices given above, there is a chance that 99% of the people are going to put their family first, especially if they happen to be ladies!The main reason is because nature has created a woman to be the cherisher and the nurturer (哺育) of the family, while the man is the hunter and protector of his little family. That is the natural rule which has come down through thousands of years. Evenif a person happens to be a comparatively worldly-wise person and has no idea of taking on the responsibility of a family, he has a picture of a tight little loving unit in his subconscious (潜意识).They tell a story about a successful millionaire businessman who died and the whole city came to pay its respects. One of his business competitors, met the son and said, "We are really going to miss your father. You see, I knew your father well. " And the son replied, "You happen to be really lucky there, because I never did. " So, you might be an extremely successful person in your own right upon Wall Street, but if your little child fails to come running out to welcome his daddy at the end of the day to be swung up in his father's arms and held there lovingly and protectively, you come in the "nothing" category in the business of life.Many people are under the impression that taking on the responsibility of the family is quite tiresome, but they do not know what it takes to be a parent. It is very easy to be a biological father or a biological mother, but the real mother and the real father is that person who stays awake all night when the baby is teething, teaches him right from wrong, is there to hold him when he takes his first steps, and in every way shows that he is there to cherish (珍惜) and protect the little one from harm.There was a man who did not believe in family, because of an unhappy childhood. But he found a faithful woman to love him unconditionally. The moment he picked up his little baby, he said, " Well son, welcome to the world! I am here to teach you what your mama has taught me, and we shall both protect you, when you need our help. I will teach you to be a good, just and fair man. "1. What does the underlined expression "loving unit" (Para. 2) most probably refer to? ________A. Lover.B. Family.C. Child.D. Life.2. In the writer’s view, the millionaire businessman ________ .A. won respect from the whole cityB. was fortunate to have a loving sonC. achieved great success in his lifeD. was a failure in the business of life3. It can be inferred from the passage that ________ .A. men care little about their familiesB. a happy childhood shapes a good manC. family responsibility means a great dealD. a faithful wife makes a family completePassage 5In 2005, I decided to fulfill（实现）one of my lifelong dreams：Moving to some completely different place and living a different life. I came to the Bahamas. At first, I was lost when it came to small talk. However, it didn't take me long to understand the “Bahamian slang（俚语）” nor to have personal conversations. About a year later, I even started dreaming in English and all my thoughts came in English as well. It's kind of funny when you experience that—especially since I lived most of my life in Germany.Three years ago, I met my husband who came from Liverpool. Liverpool accentwas really a big challenge. In the first few months I had headaches just from concentrating so hard on what he was saying. Once at the beginning of our relationship, we were sitting on the sofa and having a nice conversation. Then he asked me：“Honey, how many holes do you have in your ear? ” A strange question, I thought but answered anyway. “Three holes in my left ear and two in my right, my dear.” I hadn't even finished my sentence when he broke out into laughter and fell from the sofa. I wasn't all that amused and looked at him, asking, “And what's so funny about that? ” When he finally caught his breath, he said, “Honey, my question was how many holidays do you have a year? ”and started laughing again, when I joined him wholeheartedly.1. What did the author decide to do in 2005________ ?A. To find herself a dream to fulfill.B. To learn a foreign language.C. To live in an unfamiliar place.D. To travel around the world.2. Where did the author come from________ ?A. America.B. The Bahamas.C. Liverpool.D. Germany3. At the beginning of their relationship, the author ________ .A. often had a headache and couldn’t concentrate on workB. liked practicing her English with her husbandC. found it hard to understand what her husband saidD. realized it was really challenging to have a foreign husband4. How did the author feel when she knew what her husband really asked________ ?A. Funny.B. Angry.C. Pleased.D. Doubtful.参考答案Passage 11. A细节理解题。
高一英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析
高一英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK's first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost £ 1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK's first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn't all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access, with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available injust a second.The wider application is to support connected equipment on the "internet of things" -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likelythat consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5 G phone well before 5 G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.（1）Why does Prof William Webb say "the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes"?A. He is in favor of the application of the new technology.B. 5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.C. 5G helps people communicate better with each other.D. He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.（2）The underlined word "addressing" in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to________.A. making a speech toB. trying to solveC. managing to decreaseD. responding to（3）The last paragraph indicates that .A. it'll take several years .to make 5G accessible to the public in the UKB. 5G service shows huge development potential and a broad marketC. customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G onesD. it's probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in Britain（4）What do we know about the text?A. Vodafone is successful in spreading the 5G service.B. Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by 4G.C. The application of 5G will make life much easier.D. 5G phones are available in rural areas of the UK.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

AThe sun was rising when Daryl's delivery truck reached the highway. This was the best time of day to drive, when the roads were wide open and empty. He felt sure he was going to make it to Los Angeles before midnight. It looked like it was going to be a good day.Then he saw it, a large lump in the middle of the road. Daryl often passed dead animals on the roadside but he knew that this was something different. He slammed on his brakes and the truck screeched to a halt.The lump was a girl. He tried shaking her awake but she wouldn't move, so he picked her up and carried her to the side of the road. At least she wouldn't be run over there.Now she was someone else's problem. He had to make it to Los Angeles by midnight and didn't have time to be a hero. He climbed back into his truck but as he looked in his mirror and saw the girl lying still by the side of the road, he knew he couldn't leave her. Daryl put her into his truck and drove to the next town.An hour later he pulled up at the police station. After explaining what had happened, he prepared to leave, only for the policeman to say that he needed to make a report. Daryl knew this would take several hours, but he had no choice. There was no way he'd get to Los Angeles on time now.Three hours later the report was done and the girl had recovered somewhat. She explained that she had fallen on the highway, weak from hunger, but could remember nothing else. She also thanked Daryl for saving her life. Daryl told her that he had been happy to help, but as he got back into his truck he knew his boss wouldn't be.Just as he was about to pull back onto the road, his mother called. “Have you seen？” she said. “A bridge collapsed two hours ago, the one that you drive over on the way to Los Angeles.”Daryl's_blood_ran_cold.

And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to put a lot of what she's learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam, 14, Finn, 13, and Jack, 11.“We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant，”she explains. “I pay ￡5 for a portion(一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”The eightpart series(系列节目), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.

Why do we often assume that more__is__more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.I found the preholidays a good time to encourage young children to donate lessused 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)．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, universallyavailable. 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.We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.() 1. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. The more, the better.B. Enough is enough.C. More money, more worries.D. Earn more and spend more.() 2. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?A. Saving up for her holiday.B. Raising money for a poor girl.C. Adding the money to her fund.D. Giving the money to a sick mother.() 3. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?A. To try out an idea.B. To show a parent's love.C. To train his attention.D. To help him start a hobby.() 4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Take It or Leave ItB. A Lesson from KidsC. Live More with LessD.

What is the entry fee for a 15yearold if he is sending 3 poems?A. ￡12.75.B. ￡9.25.C. ￡7.D. ￡3.5.EWhen I was a small boy, I noticed that though many of the adults around me were wealthy and educated, they were not always happy and this sometimes led them to behave in ways, which I, as a child, thought strange. As a result of that, I decided to try to understand what happiness was and how best to achieve it. It was not surprising, then, that I decided to study psychology.On arrival at the university, I was disappointed to find that academic psychologists were trying to understand human behaviour by studying rats in a lab. I felt that there must be other more useful ways of learning how we think and feel. I decided to build my career on trying to discover what made others happy. I started out by studying creative people such as musicians, artists and athletes because they were people who devoted their lives to doing what they wanted to do, rather than things that just brought them financial rewards.Later, I expanded the study by inventing a system called “the experience sampling method”. Ordinary people were asked to keep an electronic pager(传呼机) for a week which gave out a beeping sound eight times a day. Every time it did so, they wrote down where they were, what they were doing, how they felt and how much they were concentrating. This system has now been used on more than 10，000 people, and the answers are consistent: as with creative people, ordinary people are happiest when concentrating hard.I found that the most obvious cause of happiness is intense concentration. This must be the main reason why activities such as music, art, literature, sports and other forms of leisure have survived. In order to concentrate, whether you're reading a poem or building a sandcastle, what you need is a challenge that matches your ability. The way to remain continually happy, therefore, is to keep finding new opportunities to improve your skills. This may mean learning to do your jobbetter or faster, or doing other more difficult jobs. As you grow older, you have to find new challenges which are more appropriate to your age.() 1. What led the author to study psychology?A. His determination to become rich.B. His observation of adults.C. His unhappy childhood.D. His interest in strangers.() 2. Who were the author's study subjects at the start of his career?A. People having deep affection for their career.B. People very aware of their personal life.C. People successful in acquiring wealth.D. People with more freedom.() 3. The author used his system to show that ________．A. people's happiness depends on who they are withB. people are happier when they focus on an activityC. creative people are happier than ordinary peopleD. ordinary people find it hard to concentrate() 4.

The first English people were fishermen there , and they named the place Greenwich , meaning green village. Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful places .The name of the earliest palace was Placentia . Its windows were made of glass ---the first in England .Henry VIII lived there . He knew that England must be strong at sea . So he started two big ship-yards (船坞）at Greenwich ,and for 350 years the ships which were made there were the best in the world .But trouble was coming to Greenwich . In 1649 , a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king . The men who had worked for him at Placentia decided to live the place themselves . They sold all its beautiful things , and bought small pieces of the palace garden with money . Finally , the war ended and King Charles II came back . But Placentia was falling down . So King Charles built a new and bigger palace , which is now open to the public .At this time , Charles was worried about losing so many of its ships atsea : their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were . So in1675 , Charles made John Flamsteed , the first astronomer (天文学家）in England , try to find the answer . Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park . From it with a telescope which he made himself , Flamsteed could look all round the sky . And he did , night after night , for twenty years . Carrying on Flamsteed's work a hundred years later , an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea , and helped sailors to know where they were .You can see Harrison's clock , still working , in Greenwich's museum of the sea .

Lima checked the 5 for the items they had paid for. There was nothing else like health and beauty items on it. The items were all 6 —things bought just to stuff themselves. Then he asked an employee where the other items were that they had 7 to take and was informed they were put back on the shelves.Obviously, this family was in real need. While Lima firmly 8 following the law, he decided to cut them a break and not to 9 them.The two-females, consequently, were very grateful but kind of 10 because generally, in that same situation there would probably be a different outcome and they’d be 11 .Lima took things a step further in an effort to aid the family.

"But actually, it's not an easy one because it requires heavy work, such as moving wood and large, heavy flowerpots – things that are 2 when creating works – which requires 3 ."Lu was 4 by a vocational school (职业学校) in 2017, a year after he graduated from junior high school at age 16. "The first thing I learned was design. Then my teacher told me that maybe I should study floristry because he felt I was 5 in that area," he said with a laugh. Lu said he was not 6 about the suggestion then. "Actually, I knew 7 about floristry. All I knew at the time was that some students in our school had won the 44th WorldSkills Competition in Abu Dhabi in 2017."Lu said he was in a poor condition when he 8 the competition. "Almost two weeks before I had the final training in July, I was 9 of ideas, which was terrible for a competitor whose project needed new ideas. I got used to my new identity later, thanks to my 10 who guided me with their patience and scientific training courses."His trip to Kazan was 11 , but he enjoys the memory. He said he had 12 during the competition because he was getting more and more nervous as the competition 13 . "We were given all our tasks about 15 minutes before the competition started. It was really hard because we had to 14 ideas for all in such a short time," he said."I didn't 15 during the World-Skills trials(预赛), as there were so many experienced and excellent competitors," he said. "But I was always 16 . I think my positive 17 brought me opportunities and the final honor.""Many of my classmates were pleased after winning medals at the competition, but they lost their 18 .

The development of processed foods(加工食品) has made food easier to get and prepare. 4 every coin has two sides. Apart from its advantages, the 5 of cooking also has its disadvantages.Though processed foods seem a great way to save 6 , they offer much less nutritional(营养的)value than traditional foods.

But what will 9 if one eats such food all year round? It will damage your 10 . The nutritional value of the food is not so high. Worse still, research shows that preservatives(防腐剂)used in these foods are 11 to children. That’s why health experts warn people not to eat too much of such 12 food.Besides, since people spend little time 13 food, the culture of cooking is slowly 14 . Cooking is not done just to satisfy hunger; it is also a(n) 15 form of art. Across the world, there are thousands of 16 cooking styles. If young people are used to processed foods, few of them will develop great cooking 17 . And when they become parents, it will be hard for their children to enjoy a(n) 18 homecooked meal. What’s more, cooking is a great time for 19 to connect.

【英语】高一英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1. 阅读理解It was when I was walking to my office, trailed by three young people whose ages ranged from 16 to 25, flowing down the corridor behind me like the tail of a kite, that I thought of it for the first time.This could be because I am not actually a mother.Until recently, I was not a "real" stepmother either.But I have been living with the man who is now my husband, Bernardo for 10 years and in those 10 years, not only have his younger daughters spent every other weekend and half of their school holiday with us but also his son has lived with us full-time.In fact, when Bernardo asked me to move in, he asked his son for permission first.Being a step mum is hard enough but being a sort-of-step-mother is about the most awkward position a mature woman can find herself in.With my sort-of-steppies, I have occupied a place of influence, power and sometimes extreme anger by turns.I have stepped on a delicate path between being a grown-up friend, a bridge of influence with their father, the woman of the house, and a figure of authority – but not too much.Love the kids or hate them, you must always remember that no matter how much you cook, clean, hug, comfort and discipline, you will never actually count.To survive, I trained myself to love the stepkids as hard as I could, but not to care.It's a handy piece of good mental health trickery I recommend to anyone in my position.I can help with homework, yes, but not bother about the results of that homework.I can teach them good manners, but not care about the bad habits they learn at home.Semi-detached is the position. （1）Which of the following is true about Bernardo?A. Bernardo seldom cares about the kids.B. Bernardo dislikes living with his kids.C. Bernardo respects the opinion of his kids.D. Bernardo doesn't recognize his wife as a "real" stepmother.（2）What does the author think of her role in the family?A. She was totally favored by the kids.B. She has acted as an enemy of the kids.C. She didn't have any influence in the family.D. She was the communication bridgebetween kids and their father.（3）What's the author's advice for stepmothers in the last paragraph?A. Be partly engaged in kids' life.B. Care little about kids' behavior.C. Seldom get involved in kids' homework.D. Become the absolute authority of the family.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文, 介绍了作为一个继母应该如何与孩子相处才是一个适当的度。
高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 166
高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 166Passage 1The world is witnessing the worst refugee crisis(难民危机) since World War II. Tens of thousands of people are fleeing civil war and unrest(动荡) to find new homes in Europe — sometimes with sad consequences(后果).On Aug 27, Austrian officials found the dead bodies of 71 Syrian migrants(移民) in a deserted truck near Austrian-Hungarian border, just as European leaders were holding a meeting in Vienna to figure out how to deal with the refugee crisis. On the same day, 200 migrants were found dead and 200 rescued as two boats packed with refugees sank off the coast of Libya, according to media reports.The terms “migrant” and “refugee” are often used interchangeably. But there’s a big difference between them, says an article in the Atlantic magazine. Here is how the United Nations defines refugees:“Refugees are persons fleeing armed conflict( 武装冲突) or ill-treatment. Their situation is often so dangerous and intolerable that they cross national borders to search for safety in nearby countries. …These are people for whom denial(拒绝) of protection has possibly deadly consequences.”Migrants, on the other hand, move mainly to improve their lives by finding work, or for education, family reunion or other reasons, said the agency.Countries should offer refugees certain protections under their international treaty obligations(条约义务).This is why some states hesitate to admit those people who are fleeing unrest intheir home countries.When talking about refugee and immigration problems, many media outlets use “illegal immigrant”. Critics say that it gives the impression that it’s the person that is illegal rather than their actions. The UN and the EU parliament have called for an end to the phrase, the BBC reported.1. The differences between “refugee” and “migrant” are written with the purpose of _____.A. defining the two words clearlyB. indicating why some states are not willing to admit refugeesC. showing that refugees are more than migrantsD. urging European countries to accept more refugees2. According to the text “refugee” differs from “migrant” because _____.① they both cross national borders but with different purposes② refugees are illegal while migrants are legal③ refugees may face deadly consequences while migrants are relatively safe④ refugees are treated badly while migrants are highly respectedA. ①④B. ①③C. ②③④D. ①③④3. According to the text, what may be discussed in the next several paragraphs?A. Explanations for “illegal immigrant”.B. Examples about the refugee crisis in Europe.C. Measures to offer refugee protections.D. Causes of the refugee crisis in Europe.Passage 2Pitt Crawley was astonished to receive such a pleasant letter from his brother Rawdon Crawley. Jane was delighted, and expected that her husband Pitt would immediately divide his aunt’s inheritance (遗产) into two equal parts and send one to his brother.The brothers did not meet for some time, however. Since the death of Miss Crawley, Pitt and his wife had been living down at Queen’s Crawley with his father Sir Pitt Crawley.In fact, when the black-aged invitation to the funeral (葬礼) arrived in Curzon Street, the reactions (反应) were very far from sad.“We don’t have to go, do we, Becky?” Rawdon said. “Pitt bores me to death, and a carriage there and back will cost too much.”“Of course we’re going, you silly man!” cried Becky, jumping up in delight. “Your brother is now Sir Pitt, and a Member of Parliament. I want Lady Jane to present me at court next year, and I want Sir Pitt to get you a position of some importance — the Governor of the West Indies, or something like that. We must order our black clothes for the funeral at once.”“Litter Rawdy comes too, of course,” said her husband.“Of course not! Why pay for a third seat in the carriage?”It was a great moment when the two Crawley brothers met again at last. The new Sir Pitt shook his brother warmly by the hand, while Lady Jane took both Becky’s hands, and kissed her.This mark of kindness brought tears to Becky’s eyes, which was a rare event. When Lady Jane took Becky to her room, Becky at once began work on earning her sister-in-law’s approval.“What I should like to do first,” Becky said, in a soft little voice, “is to see your dear little children.”This request pleased Lady Jane very much. She led Becky away to meet her daughter and son, aged four and two, and in no time at all, she and Becky were close friends.“You must be so sad,” Lady Jane said sympathetically, “to have left your little boy in London.”“Dear, dear Rawdy!” sighed Becky. “I miss him so much.”It was fortunate that her husband did not hear this remark. He was very fond of his son. He saw Rawdy every day at home, brought him presents and toys and played with him whenever he could. His mother took no notice of the boy at all. When he cried at night, it was a servant who came and took him to her room to comfort him.Rawdon and Becky spent several days at Queen’s Crawley, and it was time well spent. Lady Jane thought Becky was delightful, and Sir Pitt also approved of her. She had shown interest in his ambitions (抱负) for government, and made admiring comments on his political ideas, which he had found very agreeable.Becky was glad to escape from playing the part of a dutiful sister-in-law — listening with interest to dull conversations, inspecting the fruit garden, visiting sick villagers with soup and encouragement.Lord Steyne was one of Becky’s admirers in London. High-society women still ignored her, but the men crowded to Mrs Crawley’s little house, Many of them lost money at the card-tables to Colonel Crawley. Not Lord Steyne, however, who was no fool. Becky amused Lord Steyne. He admired her charm and her intelligence and her cunning, which he saw was equal to his own, and her artful lies gave him much entertainment. He laughed a great deal at Becky’s account of her time at Queen’s Crawley.“I should like to see you visiting the sick,” he said, “and being polite to those dull relations of your husband’s.”Lord Steyne laughed again. “You were bored to tears by them all. Come now, admit it, Mrs Crawley!”Becky gave a wicked little smile.1. Why did Becky do lots of things against her will at Queen’s Crawley?A. To show concern for her relatives.B. To bring out her talents.C. To win Jane’s and Pitt’s favor.D. To kill the boring time.2. From the underlined sentence, we can conclude that ________.A. Becky told a lie, which would surprise RawdonB. Becky worried this remark would annoy RawdonC. Rawdon, like Becky, missed their son RawdyD. Rawdon took no notice of the remark3. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. Becky was a devoted motherB. Lady Jane was kind and generousC. Lord Steyne was worth relying onD. Rawdon was as intelligent as Becky4. Lord Steyne admired Becky for ________.a. her intelligenceb. her charmc. kindnessd. wicked smileA. acB. abC. bcD. bdPassage 3First of all, I believe that in order to get we must be willing to give. And it works with love as well. The more of it you give away, the more of it you get back from others.Secondly, I am certain that love is not only a feeling but also an attitude. If you want to attract love into your life, you must be willing to think about it.Most people would not agree with me on that. They may say that they do think about it more than anything else. But what kind of state are you in when you think about it? Most are unhappy and doubtful and they do not believe that they are going to achieve. Their thoughts on love are wrong.

It was the worst Christmas present I had ever received. I quickly pretended joy. After all, Michael, my four-year-old son, had bought it at his school's Christmas market."I bought it for you, mama, " he said, offering it up to me, face smiling, eyes big,blue and bright. "We'll. . . put it. . . here…on. . . on the. . . kitchen table, " I said.The rest of the house was filled with beautiful, natural materials from the garden. In the summer, I operated a garden gift shop at the bottom of my yard. I also hosted an open house on the main floor of our home in late November, featuring high-end gifts for gardeners as well as natural items. And each year, I proved unique and attractive ways to bring the outdoors in with wonderful, creative decorating ideas. How uncomfortably my son's addition looked in the middle of all the natural beauty.Soon my older children burst through the door, excited to tell the adventures of their day and show their valuable things. Within seconds, the kitchen table was loaded with treats: cheerfully decorated cupcakes, a couple of packages of homemade sweets, candy canes, and a few of the small crafts some of the moms had prepared for the kids to buy with their allowance money."Where are the rest of things you bought? " I asked Michael, hoping hadn't eaten them at school or on the way home. ""I spent all my money on your presents, " he said proudly. "You spent all your money on me? " I asked, unbelieving that a four-year-old boy would avoid candy and cupcakes and crafty (巧妙的) creations designed with kid-appeal in order to buy a present for his mom.

The Gift of a Sincere MindPassage 5One winter Sunday, my little sister, Colleen, and I built the greatest snowman ever. We gave him a traditional carrot nose, cool hat, comfortable scarf and gloves on the end of his stick arms. He was a masterpiece (杰作).The next morning when looking outside, we smiled lovingly at him over our meal. We gave him a high﹣five as we passed by on our way to school. A lot of kids went past our house, so he was the hot topic at our school that morning. My sister and I generously shared our professional (专业的) snowman-building suggestions and techniques with our classmates.The day dragged on until finally we could rush home. But as our yard came into sight, we saw something that wasn't right. The snowman was gone! We only found a broken stick here, a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere. Worst of all, the snowman's once﹣proud carrot nose lay half﹣eaten.What had happened? We knew only one thing: our snowman would rise again. And so we rebuilt him. The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn (草坪). For the rest of the week, the destruction was repeated daily. Each afternoon we'd return to find our snowman fallen apart, and then we would build him up again.By Saturday morning, we had a plan. We borrowed a really big bucket (桶) from Mom, filled It with water and left it outside. The next morning, it was frozen solid. We packed snow all around the ice block for the base of the snowman. Then we built the other parts of it once again. The trap was set, and we waited for the snowman bullies (破坏者) to come.Monday morning, looking out of the window, we soon saw what we were waiting for.A group of fifth﹣grade bullies came up to our snowman and sneered (轻蔑地笑). Taking their places on all sides, they pulled back their legs to deliver strong kicks. But when their feet hit hard ice block, sneers turned to surprise, then pain and then tears.We came close to feeling sorry for them, but they were too funny as they jumped away holding their Damaged feet.

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 68Passage 1Professor Martin's report says that children who attend a number of different schools, because their parents have to move around the country, probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.The professor says. "It's true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject. "Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two, said, "I've never heard of such rubbish. Taking me for example, no harm is done to the education of my children, who change schools regularly—if they keep to the same system, as in our Army schools. In my experience—and I've known quite a few of them—Army children are as well-adjusted(调整) as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesn't appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situation children will adapt much better than grown-ups. "When this reached Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all children were backward or mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency. "Our findings show that while the very bright children can deal with regular changes without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation. "1. Professor Martin's report suggests that________ .A. it may not be good for children to change schools too oftenB. parents should not move oftenC. more and more children are mentally affectedD. children will make rapid progress if they stay in one school2. According to the passage, Professor Martin's personal feeling________ .A. is the opposite of what his report has shownB. is in some way supported by his researchC. has played a big part in his researchD. is based on the experience of his own children3. From the passage, we can conclude that Captain James' children________ .A. have been affected by changing schoolsB. have not been affected by changing schoolsC. live every army school they have been inD. discuss their education regularly with their father4. According to Professor Martin, ________ suffer from changing schools regularly.A. army childrenB. quite a few childrenC. bright childrenD. few children5. Captain Thomas believe________ .A. army children are generally better adjusted than any othersB. army children are usually less experienced than any othersC. children can adapt more easily and quickly than grow-upsD. children can adapt as easily and quickly as grown-upsPassage 2I remember when my sister began playing the violin, she was 7. I was 9 and had been playing the piano for 2 years. How did she sound? Appalling. Diane didn't like the way she sounded, either. Practicing often left her in tears. But she didn't quit. She loved playing the violin.I was better at my instrument than she was at hers. Not only did I have those two years on it, but I also had talent. My teacher had told my family that I had great potential(潜力), and I practiced every day. I went to music camps. I performed at recitals, even though I hated them. I got better and better.Everyone agreed my sister didn't have talent, but she loved playing it. I didn't love making music as much as she did, but because I was the talented sister, everyone encouraged me to continue.Nobody encouraged Diane, but she kept at it anyway. She continued with her lessons. She practiced. She got better.At 12, she asked our parents if she could attend a full-time music school, and they said no. She wasn't good enough, they told her, to hope to make a living as a professional musician. Sending her off to a music school would be a waste of time and money.At the same time, I'd discovered the British TV show The Avengers. I loved the show and watched it faithfully. It was broadcast every Saturday at 3 p. m. EverySaturday at 3, I was in front of the TV. I let nothing interfere with my "Avengers" hour.When I was 13, my parents arranged an audition for me with the best piano teacher in the area, and he agreed to take me on as a student. There was just one problem. The only time he can teach me was at 3 on Saturday afternoons,I turned down this amazing opportunity. Sure, I wanted to be a better pianist, but I wanted to watch my show more.My parents were floored. They didn't understand. But they couldn't make me. I'd finally figured out that just because you can do something really well doesn't mean that you have to.I continued to play, but not frequent. At last, I stopped taking lessons. Today, I don't even have a piano in my house.My sister continued with the violin. Nobody encouraged her to become a musician. In fact, our parents actively discouraged her. She became an engineer, and then a wife and mom. But she never stopped making music. She played music at home with other amateur musicians. She played for the local community theaters and she continued to take lessons.When she was in her 40s, my sister changed her career. She went back to school and got a degree in music education. Now she is a music teacher. She starts kids out on their first instrument and gives them all the support and encouragement she never get.And, of course, she continues to play.Recently, she and a pianist friend decided to put on a recital at a performance space at a local college. A big crowd of friends and family turned up to listen to her play.She was wonderful. As she played, I looked around at the audience. Everyone was clearly enjoying the music. It occurred to me that I was the only person in this room who remembered that 7-year-old kid making those really awful sounds. I was the only one who knew how fat she had come.1. What does the underlined word "Appalling" in the first paragraph mean? ________A. Loud.B. Awful.C. Exciting.D. Wonderful.2. What is the difference between the writer and Diane? ________A.

How did her parents feel after she turned down the best teacher? ________A. Puzzled.B. Interested.C. Angry.D. Frightened.5. In what way did Diane help her students most in music? ________A. She invites them to play music at home.B. She introduces them to amateur musicians.C. She gives them encouragement and support.D. She teaches them how to play musical instruments.6. What did the writer learn from Diane's performance? ________A. Some people are born with talent in music.B. Music is a medium of spreading love to others.C. A hobby of loving music changes a person's life.D. Love for something is more important than talent.Passage 3"Ready? ""Ready. ""Now? ""Soon. ""Do the scientists really know? Will it happen today, will it? ""Look, look; see for yourself!"It rained.It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the continuous storms so heavy that huge waves over the islands. A thousand forests had been destroyedunder the rain and grown up a thousand times to be destroyed again. And this was the way life was forever on the planet Venus, and thiswas the schoolroom of the children of the rocket men and women who had come to a raining world to set up civilization (文明) and live out their lives."It's stopping, it's stopping!""Yes, yes!"Margot stood apart from them, from these children who could never remember a time when there wasn't rain and rain and rain. They were all nine years old, and if there had been a day, seven years ago, when the sun came out for an hour and showed its face to the stunned world, they could not remember.Sometimes, at night, she heard them stir, in remembrance, and she knew they were dreaming and remembering gold or a yellow crayon or a coin large enough to buy the world with. She knewthey thought they remembered a warmness, like a blushing in the face, in the body, in the arms and legs and trembling hands. But then they always awoke to the endless shaking down of clearbead (珠子) necklaces upon the roof, the walk, the gardens, the forests, and their dreams were gone.Now the rain was getting lighter, and the children were crushed in the great thick windows.Margot stood alone. She was a very frail girl who looked as if she had been lost in the rain for years and the rain had washed out the blue from her eyes and the red from her mouth and the yellow from her hair. Now she stood, separate, staring at the rain and the loud wet world beyond the huge glass."What're you looking at? " said William.Margot said nothing."Speak when you're spoken to. " He gave her a shove (推搡). But she did not move; rather she let herself be moved only by him and nothing else.They edged away from her, they would not look at her. She felt them go away. And this was because she would play no games with them in the echoing tunnels of the underground city. If they tagged her and ran, she stood after them and did not follow. When the class sang songs about happiness and life and games her lips barely moved. Only when they sang about the sun andthesummer did her lips move as she watched the windows.And then, of course, the biggest crime of all was that she had come here only five years ago from Earth, and she remembered the sun and the way the sun was and the sky was when she wasfour in Ohio. And they, they had been on Venus all their lives, and they had been only two yearsold when last the sun came out and had long since forgotten the color1 and heat of it and the way it really was. But Margot remembered.1. By "a coin large enough to buy the world with", the author suggest________ .A. the coin used on VenusB. a child's color1ed pencilC. the high price of VenusD. a child's drawing of the sun2. The children disliked Margot mainly because she________ .A. was older than they wereB. liked the continuous rainC. knew what the sun look likeD. had brought the rain with her3. The underlined phrase "Margot stood apart from them" suggests she stayed away from them. All the following sentences suggest the same thing EXCEPT "________ ".A. she felt them go away.B. Her lips hardly moved.C. she stood after them and did not follow.D. she would play no games with them.4. Which of the following can be the best title of the text? ________A. Margot RememberedB. The RainC. The OutsiderD. The Sun Never ComesPassage 4Ninety-five percent of American families are now online, with adults spending averagely five hours a day at home on the computer, which greatly influences their life, according to a new study. Yes, we’re connecting more with friends, but we’re also having dinner quickly so we can update our Facebook status. Does your life suffer from too much time spent online, and do you properly protect your family’s identity when you share their information online? Here’s how to take control of them.According to Sherry Turkle, professor of psychology at MIT, many people use their computers to avoid the messiness of real life. It’s difficult to refuse a friend, but it’s easy to send out an e-mail to do that. When you find yourself hiding behind your screen, make an effort to reconnect with people face to face. “It’s not because the technologyis bad,” says Turkle. “It’s a matter of figuring out its place.”Proud parents can’t help posting photos of their kids. But publicly sharing your kids’ information, such as your child’s full name, birth date, and place of residence could put him in danger. To avoid the risk, invite the people you know well to view the photos on password-protected (加密的) websites such as Flickr and Snapfish. If you use Facebook, create a group of your inner circle specially for sharing photos and news of your kids.Need a handy way to measure your family’s online habits? Check out the family plan on rescuetime. com. It tracks how each member of your family spends time online, and it shows the data by hour, day, and week. The website, which also offers personal plans, even allows you to block distracting (分心的) websites from your loved ones and yourself.If reaching for your phone to check for messages and e-mails has become an uncontrollable habit, try this trick. Keep your devices on but turn off every message reminding, vibration (振动), and so on. Check for updates only when you finish a task.1. Sherry Turkle probably agrees that ________.A. Internet is just a tool for peopleB. people have to know their social statusC. technology can help improve friendshipD. going online helps people lead a happier life2. How are family members’ online habits tracked by rescuetime. com?A. By offering plans and blocking unsafe websites.B. By blocking unwanted contact and information.C. By tracking their online time and sorting out data.D. By making plans and storing collected data.3. What can be the best title for the text?A. Important Tips on Protecting Online InformationB. How to Take Control of Families’ Technology TimeC. Key Advice on How to Avoid Unsafe WebsitesD. How to Break Away from Bad Online HabitsPassage 5No doubt there are ups and downs in life. Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life. Life is for a limited period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally (无条件地).You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain. In 2016 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered a sudden heart attack. My colleagues called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest. Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions. Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands.” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe. At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the brightside can enjoy pain. My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover more quickly than expected.You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure. Failure provides you with an opportunity to benefit from so many choices you’ve made. Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success. We all make mistakes in life but only the courageous (勇敢的) people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden (负担). A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life.1. What does the author mainly tell us in the first paragraph?A. Life is full of ups and downs.B. People’s lives only last a limited period.C. We should enjoy our life unconditionally.D. Bad situations can be changed into good ones.2. Why did the author still feel happy when experiencing much pain?A. His colleagues were always with him.B. He could be looked after by his parents.C. He planned to enjoy the last days in life.D. His doctor made him realize the value of being alive.3. The underlined word “morale” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”.A. talentB. confidenceC. pleasureD. inspiration4. The author thinks that the wisest person________.A. never laughs at othersB. has strong determinationC. is ready to do others a favorD. is good at learning from mistakes参考答案Passage 11. A 细节理解题。
(专题)高一年级英语上册阅读理解专项训练含答案(50篇)
高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇To develop one's taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.My first English novel was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward (简洁的) style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones. However, if you restrict yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the peculiar sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion — essays are indispensable.Never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential (有很大影响的) the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.1．What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand? A．Complicated conversations.B．Sentences and Austen's thinking pattern.C．The old-fashioned vocabulary.D．Not knowing the social background.2．Which can best replace the underlined word "indispensable"?A．Necessary B．Challenging C．Relevant D．Inspirational 3．What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?A．Choose books that challenge us most.B．Read books that are instructive.C．Don't be affected by others' choices.D．Compare books before buying.4．What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?A．Give comments on literature works.B．Tell beginners how to choose English books.C．Encourage people to read more English books.D．Recommend first class books to English learners.【答案】1．B2．A3．C4．B【分析】本文是一篇说明文。
