高考英语阅读理解练习4篇(附解析)

Some people are so rude!Who sends an e­mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello. E­mail, too, is slower than a text. V oice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mail？” my sister asked. “Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once­acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank­you e­mail.How to handle these differing standards? Easy. Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank­you message. Others, like me, want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but thattime­wasting forms of communication do.1．What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?A．Worried.B．Surprised.C．Annoyed.D．Tired.2．Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?A．He liked text messages better.B．He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C．He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.D．He didn’t want to talk with his father.3．Which of the following does the writer agree to?A．People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.B．Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C．People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.D．Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.4．What’s the best title for this passage?A．Nowadays: what should we do with text messages?B．Nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice message?C．Nowadays: what means should we use in communication?D．Nowadays: do you need a thank­you message?I love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.But a big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often I'm smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep，we may run over the day in our minds，and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV，read the news on our smart phones or tablets，or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming(宣告)all the good that's happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we're still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but，with the odd exception，I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it's something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating，when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up a trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure I get a peaceful night's sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I'd suggest you find light­hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime，especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time，or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh，then you may feel even better.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain，it strengthens the immune system，it's good for the heart，and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons，I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.5．What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A．They make people run over the past days.B．They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C．They are extremely popular with young people.D．They make people feel relaxed and happy.6．What can we know from the text?A．Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author's favorite books.B．A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C．The author sometimes reads something about inspirations.D．Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.7．What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A．What material brings us laughter.B．How laughter affects our health.C．What benefits laughter brings to us.D．Why laughter is good for us.8．What's the main purpose of the text?A．To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B．To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C．To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D．To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.Notice：Medical Alert(警报)Dear Readers，Medical related emergencies are on the rise with more old people living alone.

A．Baia do Sancho，Brazil.B．Grace Bay，Turks and Caicos.C．Eagle Beach，Aruba.D．Playa Paraiso，Cuba.14．What can visitors mainly do on Playa Paraiso，Cuba?A．Go boating.B．Have a relaxing dinner.C．Admire colorful sand.D．Try different water sports.参考答案：1．C2．A3．B4．C【解析】【分析】本文为说明文。

But that wasn't the most extraordinary thing. The most extraordinary thing was that the Lake Shore Drive Bridge is a drawbridge.“The first time, it was scary," Dorsay told a reporter from the Chicago Sun-Times, recalling how a bell would ring and his home would tip into the air, allowing ships to pass along the Chicago River below. "After that, it was almost like riding a ferry's wheel." Brian Steele, a spokesman for the Chicago Department of Transportation, puts it more straightforwardly. "Essentially," he says, "it changed his living space from horizontal(水平的) to vertical. "Dorsay had a history of homelessness and emotional problem. but inthe bridge. he thought, he had finally found a kind of stability. "You've got to be kind of agile(敏捷的)," he admitted. "But it doesn't take genius to figure out what to do. " Dorsay is now without a home, though he is currently staying with his parents. Gary, his father, said,"I've always hoped that he would find a place and he would seek employment. He is strong enough and bright enough to do something."(B) 24. According to Richard Dorsay, why did he like living in the bridge?A. It was free.B. He felt more secure there.C. It was an extraordinary thing.D. He liked scary things.推理题。

阅读理解训练50篇（1）1Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal withit. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotionalproblems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express angeropenly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other peoplekeep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person'shealth than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor-mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC．Ingeneral the person feels excited and ready to act.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believethat those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and theybelieve that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admitthat you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is seriousenough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has madeyou angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.1．“Damaging emotion” means that _________.A．the emotion is harmless B．the emotion is harmfulC．the feeling is very strong D．the feeling is hard2．What statement is right?A．Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症).B．Once you are angry, you must be cancered.C．Angry as you are often, you can't be cancered,D．Anger may cause you a cancer.3．Expressing anger violently _________ repressing it according to some scientists.A．is just the same as B．is more harmful thanC．is no better than D．is much better than4．According to the author, you'd better _________.A．never be angryB．cool it down before you express itC．laugh and laugh when you get angryD．admit you are wrong when you are angry二There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. Noschool I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill.There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must begiven over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage achild to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with thecomplexities (复杂性) of spelling.If spelling becomes the only focal (焦点的) point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing isabilities in writing, but it was terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technicalalso a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted(省略) to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’ s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动机) to seek improvement.1．Teachers are different in their opinions about _________.A．he difficulties in teaching spellingB．the role of spelling in general language developmentC．the complexities of the basic writing skillsD．the necessity of teaching spelling2．The underlined expression “play safe” probably means ________.A．to write carefullyB．to do as teachers sayC．to use dictionaries frequentlyD．to avoid using words one is not sure of3．Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ____________.A．students will be able to express their ideas more freelyB．students will have more confidence in writingC．students will have less trouble in correcting mistakesD．students will learn to be independent of teachersjudgment on that sensitive piece of writing is 4．The author seems to think that the teacher’s__________.A．unfair B．reasonable C．foolish D．careless三Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns whereto set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US looks much alike.New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact,the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be wellinto grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike.We learn our looks from those around us.This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in。

高考语文阅读理解文章精彩8篇高考语文阅读理解文章篇篇一诚然，在浮躁的社会中，这种随遇而安、安然闲适的处世态度犹如一股清流，使人在自己的世界中得到属于自己的小确幸，在自己的小天地中感悟自己的喜怒哀乐，不让外界的纷纷扰扰去影响自己的内心世界。

这样的生活确实可以让人活得轻松自在，但却也容易导致自己的人生过于乏味，缺少尘世间的烟火味而使人与时代脱轨。

因此，作为青年人切不能在自己的小世界中沉沦，不能甘做井底之蛙，而要勇于在外面的世界中立足，同生活作斗争，活出青春应有的热血澎湃！青春需要拼搏与奋斗，需要经历痛苦与挫折，这样方能使青年人在磨砺中成长，安于一隅的生活固然安逸自在，却难以享受到热血拼搏获得的精彩。

不曾凌绝顶，又怎能体会“一览众山小”的喜悦呢？冰心曾言：“青年人啊，为着后来的回忆小心着急地描写着你现在的图画。

”是啊，青春是每个人年华逝去后最美的回忆，有谁不希望自己以后忆起年轻时候的日子时充满激情与澎湃，又有多少人甘心自己的生活庸庸碌碌，平淡无奇呢？_称：“年轻一代的性格就是时代的性格。

”我们青年作为国家的栋梁，时代的守望者，应以积极的态度去迎接生活的挑战，而不是以与世无争的态度面对事物。

国家要富强，民族要振兴，需要青年人的奋斗和努力，做出贡献。

只有青年人心中都充满乐观与向上，我们的国家才能蒸蒸日上。

尼采说：“每一个不曾起舞的日子，都是对生命的辜负。

”认真、充满活力与热血地过好每一天是对生命的珍爱和尊重。

生活不应是像一潭死水一般毫无波澜，而应是像不断前进的江水一样越过艰难险阻最终汇入海洋。

乌尔曼有言：“年年岁岁只在你的额头上留下皱纹，但你在生活中如果缺少激情，你的心灵就会布满皱纹。

”让我们拒绝“佛系”，过无悔的青春，在拼搏中尽显英雄本色。

众所周知，中国是拥有5000年历史的文明古国，自先秦以来，便有百家争鸣，宋朝甚至出现过儒释道三教呈三足鼎立之势。

为何当年汉武帝选择独尊儒术？又为什么如今我们继承和发扬的是儒家文化？孔子说：“天下有道，丘不与易也”。

高考英语高难度阅读理解15篇(含详解)

高考英语高难度阅读理解15篇(含详解)

高考英语高难度阅读理解15篇1.Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world. In rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertiser, hoping to sell their products.The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with case into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.72. What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1?A. The exercise of rights is a luxury.B. The practice of choice is difficult.C. The right of choice is given but at a price.D. Choice and right exist at the same time.73. Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice.74. By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that .A. advanced products meet the needs of peopleB. products of the latest design fold the marketC. competitions are fierce in high-tech industryD. everyday goods need to be replaced often75. What is this passage mainly about?A. The variety of choices in modern society.B. The op inions on people’s right in different countriesC. The Problems about the availability of everyday goods.D. The helplessness in purchasing decisions2.I arrived at my mother’s home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt(被子)after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What is this?” I asked.“Oh?” Mom said, “That’s Mama’s quilt.”I spread the quilt. It looked at if a group of school children had pieced it together; irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.“Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like any of the quilts she had made.“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” she said. “I’m still working on it. See, this is what I’ve done so far.”I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched(缝) a piece of cloth with these words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines st raight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”“Ooh, this is so nice, Mom,” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.56. Why did the author go to mother’s home?A. To see her mother’s quilts.B. To help prepare for a show.C. To get together for the family dinner.D. To discuss her grandmother’s life.57. The author was surprised because .A. the quilt looked very strange.B. her grandmother liked the quilt.C. the quilt was the best she had seen.D. her mother had made some changes58. The underlined wood “crooked” in the passage most probably means .A. unfinishedB. brokenC. bentD. unusual59. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Quilt ShowB. Mother’s HomeC. A Monday DinnerD. Grandmother’s Quilt3. While all my classmates seen to be crazy about a one-way ticket to Mars(火星), I’d rather say Mars is totally unsuitab le for human existence. People won’t have enough food supplies there, and the terrible environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life. Besides, the journey won’t be safe. Can anybody explain to me just why people would go to Mars, never to return?Steve Minear, UKHere are the things you can think of: the desire to explore a foreign and unique environment, the excitement of being the first humans to open up a new world, the expectation of fame and glory…For scientists there is another rea son. Their observations and research will probably lead to great scientific achievements.Donal Trollop, CanadaThere are already too many people on the Earth. I think that sometime before the end of the century, there will be a human colony(殖民地)on Mars. It will happen when people finally realize that tow-way trips to the red planet Mars are unnecessary. Most of the danger of space Flight is in the launches(发射) and landings. Cutting the trip home would therefore reduce the danger of accidents, save a lot of money, and open the way to building an everlasting human settlement on another world.Enough supplies can be sent on ahead. And every two years more supplies and more people will needs, and Mars is far more pleasant than the other planets in the outer space.Paul Davies. USA60. The main purpose of Steve Minear’s writing is .A. to report his classmates’ discussionB. to invite an answer to his questionC. to explain the natural state of MarsD. to show his agreement on going to Mars61. Wh ich of the following best states Donal Trollop’s idea?A. There is a plan to send humans to Mars.B. There are many reasons for going to Mars.C. Scientists become famous by doing research on Mars.D. It is possible to build an Earth-like environment on Mars.62. Paul Davies points out that .A. humans need only a one-way ticket to Mars.B. two-way trips to Mars will be made safe soonC. it is easy to reduce the danger and cost of flights to MarsD. it is cheap to build an everlasting human settlement on Mars63. What does Paul Davies think of human existence on Mars?A. Humans will have to bring all they need from the Earth.B. Humans will find Mars totally unsuitable for living.C. Humans can produce everything they need.D. Humans can live longer in the colony on Mars.4.Celebrity(名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about s specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption（消费）on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. T oday they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.However, for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter haw famous the product’s origins is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial（最初的）attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty (忠诚) returning to tried-and-true labels.Today, celebrities face ever more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s （自我的）potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion-like celebrity – has always been temporary.69. Fashion magazines today ________.A. seldom put models on the coverB. no longer put models on the coverC. need not worry about celebrities’ market potentialD. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly70. A change in the consumer market can be found today that _______.A. price rather than brand name is more concernedB. producers prefer models to celebrities for achievementsC. producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisementsD. quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned71. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly ______.A. decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his productsB. damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general publicC. cut short the artistic careen of a celebrity in show businessD. influence the price of a celebrity’s products72. The passage is mainly about _______.A. celebrity and personal styleB. celebrity and market potentialC. celebrity and fashion designD. celebrity and clothing industry5.We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively（被动地）. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers ormagazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor(谣言).Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping（打上标记）it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.48. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.A. doing a medical experimentB. solving a math problemC. visiting an exhibitionD. doing scientific reasoning49. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.A. active learningB. knowledgeC. communicationD. passive learning50. The author mentions the game Rumor to show that _____.A. a message may be changed when being passed onB. a message should be delivered in different waysC. people may have problems with their sense of hearingD. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor51. What can we infer from the passage?A. Active learning is less important.B. Passive learning may not be reliable.C. Active learning occurs more frequently.D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.6. The literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines（学科）, philosophy cannot e defined by what you study ,because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: are, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate（博士学位）of Philosophy (Ph. D.) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychology.Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and eritical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning .The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and persuade in the development of philosophy.Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relating to other discomposes. And thought the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one’s ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important form a large quality of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining one’s first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management and leadership later on. It is very short site after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job. The useful skills developed thought the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict.72. Accprdomg to Paragraph 1. Philosophy can best be described as the study of .A. social sciencesB. natural sciencesC. both social and natural sciencesD. the subject matter of politics73. With the study of philosophy, you can .A. become a great leaderB. succeed in everythingC. find a good job soon after graduationD. make progress in your career development74. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Philosophy is an independent discipline.B. Logic helps you to become a better thinker.C. The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.D. The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.75.From the passage, we can concludeA. not all the subjects have to do with philosophyB. a person will get a Ph. D. if he/she studies philosophyC. philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjectsD. philosophy is the only solution to all the problems the world7.Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.60. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.A. depend on one sense in choosing foodB. are not satisfied with their foodC. choose food in similar waysD. eat entirely different food61. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The white butterfly.B. The small bird.C. The bear.D. The fox.62. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.A. the season changesB. the food color changesC. they move to different placesD. they are attracted by different smells63. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy diet8.The flag, the most common symbol（象征）of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning. the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive（原始的）artifact. It is , rather, the product of thousands of years’ development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People’s food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connectionof the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routs through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.71．The best title for the passage would be .A．Development of the National Flag.B．Power of the National Flag.C．Types of FlagsD．Uses of Flags72．The underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 means .A．impossible to make sure ofB．likely to be protectedC．easy to damageD．difficult to find73．The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because .A．they could tell wind directionB．they could bring good luck to fightersC．they were handed down by the ancestorsD．they were believed to stand for natural forces74．What does the author know of the first national flag?A．He knows when it was sent to Europe.B．He believes it was made in Egypt.C．He thinks it came from China.D．He doubts where it started.75．What will the author most probably talk about next?A．The role of China in the spread of the national flag.B．The second ancestor of the national flagC．The use of modern flags in Europe.D．The importance of modern flags.9.PITTSBURGH –For most people, snakes seem unpleasant or even threatening. But Howie Choset sees in their delicate movements a way to save lives.The 37-year-old Carnegie Mellon University professor has spent years developing snake-like robots he hopes will eventually slide through fallen buildings in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies.Dan Kara is president of Robotics Trends, a Northboro, Mass.-based company that publishes an online industry magazine and runs robotics trade shows. He said there are other snake-like robots being developed, mainly at universiti es, but didn’t know of one that could climb pipes.The Carnegie Mellon machines are designed to carry cameras and electronic sensors and can be controlled with a joystick(操纵杆). They move smoothly with the help of small electric motors, or servos, commonly used by hobbyists in model airplanes.Built from lightweight materials, the robots are about the size of a human arm or smaller. They can sense which way is up, but are only as good as their human operators, Choset added.Sam Stover, a search term manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency based in Indiana, said snake-type robots would offer greater mobility than equipment currently available, such as cameras attached to extendable roles.“It just allows us to do something we’ve been able to do before,” Stover said, “We needed them yesterday.”He said sniffer dogs are still the best search tool for rescue workers, but that they can only be used effectively when workers have access to damaged building.Stover, among the rescue workers who handled the aftermath (后果) of Hurricane Katrina, said snake robots would have helped rescuers search flooded houses in that disaster.Choset said the robots may not be ready for use for another five to ten years, depending on funding.72. Which institution is respon sible for the development of Choset’s robots?A. Robotics Trends.B. Pittsburgh City Council.C. Carnegie Mellon University.D. Federal Emergency Management Agency.73. Choset believes that his invention ______.A. can be attached to an electronic armB. can be used by hobbyists in model airplanesC. can find victims more quickly than a sniffer dogD. can sense its way no better than its operators74. By saying “We needed them yesterday” (paragraph 7), Stover means that snake-like robots _____.A. could help handle the aftermath of Hurricane KatrinaB. would have been put to use in past rescue workC. helped rescuers search flooded houses yesterdayD. were in greater need yesterday than today75. What is the text mainly about?A. Snake-like robots used in industries.B. Snake-like robots made to aid in rescues.C. The development of snake-like robots.D. The working principles of snake-like robots.10.Attitude is an internal(内在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual(个人). Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas: others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas－all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired(获得) throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can resu lt from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them, And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s able to complete so me of them, And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of attitudes. 52．According to the passage, attitudes __________.A．come from different situations in one’s lifeB．are largely affected by one’s behaviorC．remain unchanged in one’s daily lifeD．could be chosen according to one’s will53．The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show ______.A．people often make mistakes when they are not noticedB．people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deedsC．particulars of a si tuation may influence an individual’s actionD．an individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily54．Which of the following is TURE about the learning of attitudes?A．Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.B．Attitudes learned in danger will last longer.C．Copying others’ behavior is not a good idea.D．Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents.55．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Differences of Attitudes.B．Nature of Attitude.C．Choices of Attitudes.D．Modification of Attitude.11. Susan Sontag (1933 -- 2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything -- to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American cultural life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.Seriousness was one of Sontag's lifelong watchwords (格言), but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasures of pop culture. In "Notes on Camp", the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. "Notes on Camp", she wrote, represents "a victory of 'form' over 'content', 'beauty' over 'morals'".By conviction (信念) she was a sensualist (感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist (伦理学者), and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came。

历年高考真题：语文阅读理解及答案篇1阅读下面的作品，完成11～14题。

何容何许人也老舍粗枝大叶的我可以把与我年纪相仿佛的好友们分为两类。

第一类是因经济的压迫或别种原因，没有机会充分发展自己的才力。

第二类差不多都是悲剧里的角色。

他们是旧时代的弃儿，新时代的伴郎。

这些人们带着满肚子的委屈，而且还得到处扬着头微笑，好像天下与自己都很太平似的。

何容兄是这样朋友中的一位代表。

他没有一点“新”气，更提不到“洋”气。

他的“古道”使他柔顺像个羊，同时能使他硬如铁。

当他硬的时候，不要说巴结人，就是泛泛的敷衍一下也不肯。

在他柔顺的时候，他的感情完全受着理智的调动：比如说友人的小孩病得要死，他能昼夜的去给守着，而面上老是微笑，希望他的笑能减少友人一点痛苦;及至友人们都睡了，他才独对着垂死的小儿落泪。

反之，对于他以为不是东西的人，他全任感情行事，不管人家多么难堪。

怎样能被他“承认”呢?第一个条件是光明磊落。

所谓光明磊落就是一个人能把旧礼教中那些舍己从人的地方用在一切行动上。

而且用得自然单纯，不为着什么利益与必期的效果。

光明磊落使他不能低三下四的求爱，使他穷，使他的生活没有规律，使他不能多写文章——非到极满意不肯寄走，改、改、改，结果文章失去自然的风趣。

作什么他都出全力，为是对得起人，而成绩未必好。

可是他愿费力不讨好，不肯希望“歪打正着”。

他不常喝酒，一喝起来他可就认了真，喝酒就是喝酒;醉?活该!在他思索的时候，他是心细如发。

他以为不必思索的事，根本不去思索，譬如喝酒，喝就是了，管它什么。

他的心思忽细忽粗，正如其为人忽柔忽硬。

他并不是疯子，但是这种矛盾的现象，使他“阔”不起来。

对于自己物质的享受，他什么都能将就;对于择业择友，一点也不将就。

高考语文阅读理解真题

高考语文阅读理解真题(一)我的少年时代是在大兴安岭度过的。

那里一进入九月，大地上的绿色植物就枯萎了，雪花会袅袅飘向山林河流，漫长的冬天缓缓地拉开了帷幕。

冬天一到，火炉就被点燃了，它就像冬夜的守护神一样，每天都要眨着眼睛释放温暖，一直到次年的五月，春天姗姗来临时，火炉才能熄灭。

火炉是要吞吃柴火的，所以，一到寒假，我们就得跟着大人上山拉柴火。

拉柴火的工具主要有两种：手推车和爬犁。

手推车是橡皮轮子的，体积大，既能走土路装载又多，所以大多数人家都使用它。

爬犁呢，它是靠滑雪板行进的，所以只有在雪路上它才能畅快地走，一遇土路，它的腿脚就不灵便了，而且它装载小，走得慢，所以用它的人很零星。

我家的手推车是二手货，有些破旧，看上去就像一个辛劳过度的人，满面疲惫的样子。

它的车胎常常慢撒气，所以我们拉柴火时，就得带着一个气管子，好随时给它打气。

否则，你装了满满一车柴火要回家时，它却像一个饿瘪了肚子的人蹲在地上，无精打采的，你又怎么能指望它帮你把柴火运出山呢?我们家拉柴火，都是由父亲带领着的。

姐姐是个干活实在的孩子，所以父亲每次都要带着她。

弟弟呢，那时虽然也就是八九岁的光景，但父亲为了让他养成爱劳动的习惯，时不时也把他带着。

他穿得厚厚的跟着，看上去就像一头小熊。

我们通常是吃过早饭就出发，我们姊妹三人推着空车上山，父亲抽着烟跟在我们身后。

冬日的阳光映照到雪地上，格外的刺眼，我常常被晃得睁不开眼睛。

父亲生性乐观，很风趣，他常在雪路上唱歌、打口哨，他的歌声有时会把树上的鸟给惊飞了。

我们拉的柴火，基本上是那些风刮倒的树木，它们已经半干了，没有利用价值，最适宜做烧柴。

那些生长着的鲜树，比如落叶松、白桦、樟子松是绝对不能砍伐的，可伐的树，我记得有枝桠纵横的柞树和青色的水冬瓜树。

父亲是个爱树的人，他从来不伐鲜树，所以我们家拉烧柴是镇上最本分的人家。

为了这，我们就比别人家拉烧柴要费劲些，回来得也会晚。

因为风倒木是有限的，它们被积雪覆盖着，很难被发现。

高考英语阅读理解训练100篇

高考英语阅读理解训练100篇-CAL-FENGHAI-(2020YEAR-YICAI)_JINGBIAN高考英语阅读理解训练100篇(1－10)高考英语阅读训练（001）You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends oncareful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool1. Stuntmen are those who ______.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives2. Stuntmen earn their living by ______.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC.jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains3. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.A.he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC.his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right4. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performanceA. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.5. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntmanA.Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B.The percentage of serious accidents is high.C.Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high.KEY: 1- 5 CBDBA高考英语阅读训练（002）activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction (分散注意力) to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy (读写能力) and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its advantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media (媒介) on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term "reading" referred to.1. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth centuryA. Because silent reading had not been discovered.B. Because there were few places for private reading.C. Because few people could read for themselves.D. Because people depended on reading for enjoyment.2. The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed .A. a change in the position of literate peopleB. a change in the nature of readingC. an increase in the number of booksD. an increase in the average age of readers3. Educationalists are still arguing about _________.A. the importance of silent readingB. the amount of information provided by books and newspapersC. the effects of reading on healthD. the value of different types of reading material4. What is the writer of this passage attempting to doA. To explain how present day reading habits developed.B. To change people's way to read.C. To show how reading methods have improved.D. To encourage the growth of reading.KEY: 1-4 CBDA高考英语阅读训练（003）In some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(无所谓) of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough.American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan's population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, whodie in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime(罪行). Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment.In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.1. The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____.A. they took no interest in new technologyB. they did not pay great attention to preventing firesC. they showed indifference to fighting firesD. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment2. It can be inferred from the passage that______.A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American childrenB. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessonsC. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United StatesD. America's large population leads to more fires3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passageA. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.KEY: BAC高考英语阅读训练（004）Nuclear power's(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word; radiation(辐射).Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.1. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in __________.A. nuclear mysteryB. radiation detectionC. radiation levelD. nuclear radiation2. Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.A. when it kills few cellsB. if it damages few cellsC. though the damaged cells can repair themselvesD. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves3. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _____.A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage cells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of our younger generationD. lead to all of the above results4. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passageA. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized (过分强调).B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.KEY: 1- 4 DBDA高考英语阅读训练（005）Today is the date of that afternoon in April a year ago when I first saw the strange and attractive doll（玩具娃娃）in the window of Abe Sheftel's toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads. Dr Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft - coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's, I was made oncemore known of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending small gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable, and looked at the collection of unattractive objects--a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed envelopes, and advertisements for soft - drinks. And thus it was that my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and the film of dust through which I was looking, but I was sure that a deep impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.1. What made an impression on the authorA. The doll's unusual face.B. The collection of toys.C. A stranger he met at the store.D. The beauty and size of the doll.2. Why does the author mention his nieceA. She likes dolls.B. The doll looks like her.C. She lives near Sheftel's.D. He was looking for a gift for her.3. Why did the writer go past Sheftel'sA. He was on his way to school.B. He was looking for a present for his niece.C. He wanted to buy some envelopes.D. None of the above is right.4. The story takes place in the ______.A. early summerB. early springC. midsummerD. late springKEY: 1-5 ADDB高考英语阅读训练（006）Technology is the application (应用)of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available (有用的)to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animalbreeding techniques, and has extended our life span via()medical technology.Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics (统计) show that the united States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts.So while we are running out of some scarce resources (少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes (代用品) for many of them through our research programs. Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.1. What is the best title for the passageA. The definition of technologyB. Modern technologyC. The application of technologyD. The development of technology2.

Maybe you have seen pictures ofthese“fireworks”of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It looks like a “river of tire.”Sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock andashes(灰)high into the air. But where does this melted rock come fromThe earth is made up of many layers(层). The top layer that we see is called the crust. Under the crust are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, that it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock is called magma. Sometimes the magma breaks out to the surface through cracks(爆裂声)in the crust. These cracks are volcanoes.Most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. Avolcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. The hot magma, or lava as it is called, cols and builds up on the surface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. For example, the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro, is a volcano. It towers more than16,000 feet above the ground around it.1.The underlined word“erupts”means .A. moves downB. breaks awayC. builds upD. suddenly throws out lava2.Which words in the passage have the same meaning as “melted rock”A.“Volcano”and“explode”.B.“Crust”and“hard rock”C.“magma”and“lava”D.“Volcano”and“magma”3.Which is the correct order of the layers of theearth(beginning with the top layer)A. crust-hard rock-magma-soft rockB. crust-hard rock- soft rock-magmaC. magma-soft rock- hard rock-crustD. volcano-cracks-magma-crust4.The best title(标题) of the passage should be u.A.

Personally, I could dowithout the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk aboutPoint 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue. Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in s eparate offices but I couldsee him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about).We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.1.How do you understand‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate,6…’A. People don’t communicate without telephone.B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.D. People communicate more because of more traffic.2.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phonesA. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.D. Mobile phones are part of people’s life.3.

The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacheris Sharon Klompus who says of her students—“so passive”—and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’ s passivity. “We’ re talking about a generation of kids who’ ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’ s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’ s time to tak e the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’ s for their own good. It’s s time to start telling them no again.1.Children are becoming more inactive in study because .A. they watch TV too oftenB. they have done too much homeworkC. they have to fulfil too many dutiesD. teachers are too strict with them2.We learn from the passage that the author’s mother used to lay emphasis on .A. learning LatinB. disciplineC. natural developmentD. education at school3.By“permissive period in education”(L.1,Para.2)the author means a time .A. when children are allowed to do what they wish toB. when everything can be taught at schoolC. when every child can be educatedD. when children are permitted to receive education4. The main idea of the passage is that .A. parents should leave their children aloneB. kids should have more activities at schoolC. it’s time to be more strict with our kidsD. parents should always set a good example to their kids KEY: 1- 4ABAC高考英语阅读理解训练100篇(11－20)|高考英语阅读训练（011）The greatest recent changes have ,been in the lives of women ,During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties ,and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old ,By the time the youngest was fifteen ,the mother would have been id her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years ,during which custom ,chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work, Today women marry younger and have fewer children Usually a woman ‘s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty－five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances （家用电器）and convenience foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to ha ve its full effect on women’ s economic position Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full －time job However ,when they married ,they usually leftwork at once and never returned to it ,Today the school－leaving age is sixteen ,many girls stay at school after that age ,and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at leas until shortly before their first child is born Very many more after wads ,return to full or part-time work Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage ,with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing moree-qually in providing the money and running thehome ,according to the abilities and inter-est of each them. 1．According to the passage ,around the year1990 most women marriedA．at about twenty-fiveB．In their early fiftiesC．as soon as possible after they were fifteenD．at any age from fifteen to forty－five2．We are told that in an average family about1990 .

高考英语阅读理解

高考英语阅读理解高考英语阅读理解11篇高考英语阅读理解1在英语学习中，阅读占有很重要的地位。

阅读理解也是高考的必考题型。

但是在日常的学习中，有不少同学还没有养成良好的阅读习惯，大大影响了阅读的效率。

要想提高阅读水平，首先要养成良好的阅读习惯。

养成默读的习惯许多同学在阅读的时候都有读出声的习惯。

出声阅读的主要弊病就是使自己的阅读速度和效率受到说话速度的限制。

因为，正常默读速度几乎要比出声朗读的速度快两倍以上。

另外，出声阅读往往以不同的形式表现出来，有时仅仅是无声地动一动嘴唇，有时甚至连嘴唇也不动，只是舌、喉在活动。

嘴唇的活动无疑会影响眼睛扫视文章的速度。

一个有效率的读者能够只看到印刷符号就直接获得意思，而不经过声音阶段。

因此，为了克服这种不良的阅读习惯，就要训练自己养成通过眼睛直接感知文字符号的视读能力。

克服心读的习惯心读是一种很难观察到的阅读习惯。

心读时，人体的任何部位，不论嘴、头或声带都没有动，只存在一种说话的内在形式：阅读者在内心里始终自言自语，清晰地发出并听着每个字音。

这种毛病亦是一种很坏的阅读习惯，它直接影响到阅读的速度和效率，并且矫正起来还比较困难。

采用强制自己在深入理解文章内容的同时，又强制自己加快阅读速度的方法，一般能逐渐克服这种坏习惯。

克服指读的习惯指读是指用手指、铅笔或尺子等指着文章的一个个词进行阅读。

指读是单纯机械运动，不仅会减慢阅读速度，而且还会把注意力引向错误的方向。

一个高效率的阅读者不会注意单词的位置，也不会在每个单词上平均花费时间，而是把注意力集中在作者要阐明的思想内容上。

有指读习惯的同学实际上妨碍了眼睛运动并限制了大脑的快速活动能力。

因此，必须克服这种不良的阅读习惯，逐渐养成用脑瞬间反映文字信息的能力。

克服复视的习惯复视指的是读完一个句子或段落后回过头去重复阅读。

阅读能力差的同学往往有复视的习惯。

改变这种不良习惯的办法是让自己阅读大量难度适宜的读物。

在先了解阅读要求的情况下，用眼睛快速扫描答案。
