高考英语阅读理解训练及参考答案高考英语阅读理解训练1：Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways.Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.Food can also have a specific meaning，and play a significant role in a family or cultures celebrations or traditions.The foods we eat —and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread，whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table，is a common symbol of togetherness.Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests.Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread，so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations.In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year.In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita.A coin is put into the cake，which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child，and food can play a significant role.In China，when a baby is one month old，families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includesgiving redcolored eggs to guests.In many cultures，round foods such as grapes，bread，and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.*大意：*讲述了食物在不同文化中的作用。

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.

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.

(英语)高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

（英语）高考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．阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超导体技术).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269℃ with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at -243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new technology.（1）As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity ____________. A. has already been developed B. is still under developmentC. will be used only in specialized equipmentD. will be used in daily lives in a few years（2）The new technology differs from the others in that ____________.A. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the worldB. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the worldC. it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldD. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich（3）From the passage, we may conclude that ____________.A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technologyB. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 yearsC. IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over the worldD. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Prospect of a New TechnologyB. Superconductivity: A New TechnologyC. A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesD. A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了超导体技术的发展潜能和发展状况。

AMemory is an incredibly important part of our lives, allowing us to store and retrieve information about the world around us. Unfortunately, many of us experience memory difficulties in our daily lives. Luckily, there are several techniques that can help improve memory. Here are a few:- Use Mnemonic Devices: Mnemonic devices are memory tools that help us remember certain pieces of information. For example, you might use the acronym HOMES to remember the names of the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior). Another example is the phrase “My very eager mother just served us nine pizzas” to remember the order of the planets in our solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto).-Repetition: Repetition is the act of repeating a piece of information. This technique is particularly useful for remembering short-term information. If you need to remember a phone number or a name, repeating it several times to yourself can help you commit it to memory. - Visualization: Visualization is the process of creating mental images to assist with memory. For example, if you need to remember a grocery list, you might create mental images of the items on the list. You could picture an apple in your mind, then a carton of eggs, then a loaf of bread, and so on.-Organization: Organizing information can also help improve memory.This might mean grouping similar items together, as in creating categories for different types of information. For example, if you are trying to remember a list of vocabulary words, you might group them together by similar meanings.- Sleep: Getting enough sleep is important for memory consolidation, the process of transferring short-term memories to long-term storage. Without sufficient consolidation, memories may be lost over time.-Exercise: Exercise has been shown to improve memory and cognitive function. A study conducted by the University of British Columbia found that regular aerobic exercise increases the size of the hippocampus, a brain region associated with memory.By using these techniques, you can improve your memory and ensure that important information is not forgotten.1. What is the main topic of the passage?A. The importance of sleepB. The benefits of exerciseC. Strategies to improve memoryD. The functions of the hippocampus2. What are Mnemonic Devices?A.

新课标话题阅读AThe Qualities of a FriendWhen choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you can meet fair-weather friends.They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend？I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability.Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead，he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a good friend will try to understand and accept other.Another quality of a friend is reliability, I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me that he is sure that he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we should enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are happy to be with. A good friend likes the same thing I like. We share experience and learn from each other.A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest and understanding, I know I have found a good friend.阅读文章，判断下列句子正误(T/F)。

1.When you become poor, a fair-weather friend of yours will run away from you.2.A good friend is reliable, honest and help you when you are in trouble.3.A fair-weather friend can be depended on if you have money or luck.4.A true friend should share happiness and hardship with each other.5.From the passage we know that the saying “A friend in need is a friend indeed”is wrong.Key: TTFTFBBefore you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things as they do.The quickest way to make friends is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about them. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live and what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There is nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug for an answer.Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember that everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.1.This passage gives us some advice on _________.A.how to make friendsB.what kind of people you can make friends withC. How to start a conversationD. The importance of smile2. According to the third paragraph, most people enjoy talking to one ________.A.who is always smilingB.who seems to be friendlyC.who praise youD.who points out your shortcomings3.

Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend.Always honestHonesty is important to keep a relationship alive.A true friend always tells you the truth.It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship.It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.____________There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties.A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give you advice.Itmay not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend makes time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you.Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble.You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.Always respectful(尊敬的)A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not.Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.Always understandingIt is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend.A true friend will always be forgiving (体谅的)and understanding，even if it isn’t his/her fault.We are all different people and we all make mistakes.A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.1．What’s the best title for the third paragraph?A．Always there for youB．Keep your secretsC．Always happy for youD．Remember your important days2．According to the passage，a true friend will always ________．A．follow your adviceB．offer a solution to your problemsC．listen immediately to your problemsD．respect your opinion even if he/she disagrees with it3．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Never tell lies to friends.B．Making time for friends.C．Sharing fun with friends.D．Paying attention to a friend’s opinion.4．What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A．To teach us how to make true friends.B．To find out how long a friendship can last.C．To introduce his experience in making friends.D．To tell us how to find out if a friend is a true friend.Key:1-4 ADCDDLife affects (影响) friendships.As we grow，marry，fight in wars，move across the country or change jobs，old friendships fall away and new ones form. As long as we live，the things around us change，and as long as things change，friendships are affected.When we were children we had best friends.No matter what happened we were still friends. We live our lives，however，and do what life calls for us to do，and as we get older，memories fade (逐渐消失)，faces blur (变得模糊不清)，and even friends’ names from childhood are forgotten.Do you have a question about friendship? Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly？Perhaps you will see that you can’t control others. If someone wants to be your friend，it is their choice. All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them.Then you wish them well when they leave.You can talk to old_timers and they will tell you that life is full of incredible (难以置信的) joy and incredible sorrow，and that what bothers you today will one day become a memory and the sting (痛苦) will be gone.Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older.They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go.Sometimes when they go it will hurt，but yo u will be okay with it.It’s the way life works，after all.1．What can we learn about friendship，according to the text?A．Friendship can not be easily affected by one’s family.B．Friends are always around us and will never go away.C．Friends in childhood are the best no matter what happens.2．What does the underlined words “old timers” mean in the last paragraph?A．Old people.
