福建省英语高考复习记叙文阅读理解训练13（含答案解析）1It was my first day as a newcomer to Miss Hargrove’s seventh grade. Past “newcomer” experiences had been difficult, so I was very anxious about fitting in.Lunchtime was a pleasant surprise when the girls all crowded around my table. My new classmates filled me in on the school, the teachers and the other kids. It wasn’t long before the class nerd was pointed out to me: Mary Lou, a young girl with old-fashioned clothes. She wasn’t ugly, not even funny looking. I thought she was quite pretty but I had sense enough not to say so. Mary Lou made eye contact with no one as she walked past our tables, chin held high with iron determination, and she ate alone.After school, the girls invited me to join them in front of the school. I was excited to be a member of the club. We waited. For what, I didn’t yet know. Oh, how I wish I had gone home, but I had a lesson to learn.Arms wrapped around her backpack, Mary Lou came down the school steps. Rude and biting（尖刻的）comments were poured from the girls, I paused and then joined right in. The other girls stepped back and became my cheerleaders. But I was not proud. Something inside me hurt. If you’ve ever picked a wing off a butterfly, you will know how I felt.Without a tear, Mary went off. I turned to leave with my friends and noticed a man standing beside his car. He was Mary’s father. Respectful of Mary Lou’s proud spirit, he remained still and watched the lonely girl walking towards him. As I passed, he fixed his eyes on me in silence with burning tears that spoke to me.No scolding（责备）from a teacher or a parent could stay as long as that hurt in my heart from the day when a father eyes taught me kindness and shame. I never again joined the cruel girls. I never again hurt someone for my own gain.1．What does the underlined word “nerd” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A．A popular person B．A cold-blooded personC．A boring person D．A chicken-hearted person2. Why does the author wish she had gone home after she joined the other girls?A. Because she wanted to go home earlierB. Because she didn’t want to have a lessonC. Because she didn’t want to treat Mary Lou rudelyD. Because she wanted to make friends with Mary Lou3. How did the author feel when the other girls became her cheerleaders?A. ProudB. SorryC. ExcitedD. Encouraged4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. It's good for a girl to be kind.B. It 's hard for a newcomer to fit in.C. We should support those in difficulty.D. We should not hurt others for our own gain.参考答案：CCBD2I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a burning desire for superpowers. As a boy, I could clearly see some of my teachers had extraordinary powers.There was an English teacher in fifth grade who could magically transport us to different worlds every day by telling us stories and reading to us from books we would otherwise never pick up. This was our secret and fun time because fifth graders were considered too old to have stories read out to them.It was even shocking that my teacher could see the invisible. I was one of those who lacked insight. Yet my teacher would notice me and the unspoken message in her eyes suggested that she could see me through. She had another superpower and even after four decades, I could still vividly remember her lessons about the great masters of art and great geographers, expanding our horizons. She did this even though her major was not art, nor geography. Her lessons went beyond the textbook. I knew I wanted to be one of those all-seeing ones with superpowers that made children feel safe and valued.I know being a teacher isn’t the easiest or the most financially rewarding of jobs. And there are occupational risks—your knees can become worn out from years of carrying piles of notebooks up and down the school staircase, your voice can give in from too much talking. But despite all that, there are those choosing this cause. To them, teaching is not just a job—it is a science, an art and a craft, and it demands emotional labour and investment.All my life, for three decades now, I’ve gone to work early each day with a spring in my step. Occasionally, I meet my former students. Their obvious love for me and fond memories of our time together are my rewards. When I meet others who thirst for superpowers, like the brand new teacher struggling to perfect her skills with a brave face on, or the one in a remote, rural school travelling 70 kilometers each day just for his pupils, I feel proud to belong to the same group.1. What can be inferred about the stories from paragraph 2?A. They were told in a magic way.B. They were written by the teacher.C. They contained some students’ fun secrets.D. They left the students with happy memories.2. Which of the following best describes the English teacher?A. Ambitious and generous.B. Hard-working and wealthy.C. Caring and modest.D. Well-informed and observant.3. What do we know about the author as a teacher?A. He suffered a lot in his knees and voice.B. He thought teaching was more than spreading knowledge.C. He had some ideas of how to be a teacher at a young age.D. He was rewarded with much money for his devotion at school.4. What can be concluded about being a teacher from the text?A. With one thousand times for the peach garden sweet.B. Teachers lead the door, progress in the individual.C. In scholarship there is no difference of age.D. Learning without a teacher is hard to gain.答案：DDBA3On a recent afternoon，some 60 years after they graduated from grammar school，Kathleen Rys，72，and her sister Lorraine O’Kelly，70，sat down and had a meal with a classmate，Bruce Smit，71，for the first time.In the 1950s, Lorraine and Kathleen Rys’ family moved from Chicago to Monee. As new kids at Monee Elementary School，they soon found themselves on the outs with other students.I would be with the other students.“I would be with the other guys and See Kathleen walking down the hallway，her head down，holding her books，walking slowly. And all of us guys would lean against the wall until she passed.Then we'd burst intolaughter.How rude is that? It's just crazy,” said Bruce, a doctor whose wife, Ta mmy, organized the meeting.The women said none of the teachers cared about it . “We just kept it to ourselves,” Lorraine said.Over the years，Tammy Smit said，“Bruce would just start to cry at times. He'd wonder what happened to the sisters, if they led a good life.” One day a few weeks ago, Tammy took to the Internet and found Mary O'Kelly，Lorraine 's daughter，and offered to set up a meeting .The idea of revisiting the pain was not well-received by Kathleen, who had never married ，let alone gone on a date. It took some convincing，but Lorraine finally got Kathleen to agree to meet with Bruce .Bruce broke into tears. “I'm so ashamed，so embarrassed ,” he said. “But I'm so happy that you're still here and that I can finally apologize .” He said he hoped his apology would encourage others to seek forgiveness for the pain they had made on others .Lorraine said，“This is a beautiful thing. It's just wonderful that a person can ask for forgiveness after about 60 years. It’s like a miracle to us. It’s healing to us.1. What can we learn from the first three paragraphs ?A.

C4When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.1. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not influence a fish as his father did.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not catch a fish.2. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.A. in shallow water under waterside treesB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in deep water on sunny days3. After entering the business world, the author found _________.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his first boss’s sales ideas reason ableC. his father’s fishing advice inspiringD. it difficult to sell services to poor people4. This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a millionaire’s biographyC. a novel on childhoodD. a popular sales book答案：1---4 DACD5About five weeks ago, I noticed the skin of our pet lizard was growing dusty. It worried me. I reported the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it.I didn't think about it much until a morning last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off the table. It burst into hundreds of pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wondered why we had been breaking so many things over the months.The destruction started three months ago. It was my husband's birthday. He had just lost his job. The uncertainty was starting to wear on us, so I wanted to do something special.“Let's make a cake for Dad!” I cried.My kids screamed with joy. We baked, iced and sprinkled for most of the day. Candles on the cake! Balloons on the walls! Flowers on the table!Two hours before my husband came back home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday.Three days ago, the light in our living room suddenly went out. After several frustrating hours of unsuccessful attempts to fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan documentary series The Last Dance.The poignancy of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched him take off his basketball uniform and replace it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the layer that no longer served him, just as our lizard had. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind.Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new.Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin.1. What can we learn about the pet lizard from Paragraph 1?A. Its tank grew dirty.B. Its old skin came off.C. It got a skin disease.D. It went missing.2. Why did the author's husband have banana pudding for his birthday?A. The birthday cake was ruined.B. The author made good puddings.C. Pudding was his favorite dessert.D. They couldn't afford a birthday cake.3. Why does the author mention The Last Dance in the passage?A. To prove a theory.B. To define a concept.C. To develop the theme.D. To provide the background.4. The underlined part "leaving behind the layer" in Paragraph 8 can be understood as .A. letting go of the pastB. looking for a new jobC. getting rid of a bad habitD. giving up an opportunity5. What does the author most likely want to tell us?A. Love of family helps us survive great hardships.B. It's not the end of the world if we break things.C. We should move on no matter what happens.D. Past experiences should be treasured.答案：1.B 2.A 3.C 4.A 5.C。

福建省英语高考复习记叙文阅读理解训练5（含答案解析）1Imagine someone who has spent the majority of their life sitting with a sign on the side of the road and that very person giving someone their last 20 dollars. That’s exactly what Marine Corps veteran (退伍军人）Johnny Bobbitt，34，did in October in Philadelphia.Bobbitt served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a paramedic (医务辅助人员）in Vance County, N. C. before he became homeless. Nobody knew how he got to where he was because he was discreet about that.One night in October, Bobbitt was sitting roadside with a sign in Philadelphia as usual, when Kate McClure of Florence Township, N. J. was driving home down Interstate 95 and ran out of gas. Scared and nervous, she got out of the car to head to the nearest gas station. As McClure was heading to the nearest gas station, she ran into Bobbitt and he told her to get back in the vehicle and lock the door. Minutes later, he appeared with a red gas can. He’d used his last $20 to buy her gas.After that unexpected meeting, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, who both live in New Jersey, visited Bobbitt several times to deliver gift cards, cash, snacks and toiletries. They then decided to create a fund raising page so he wouldn't have to spend the holidays sleeping on the street.McClure started the GoFundMe page on November 10. With the page, the couple hoped to raise $10,000, enough money for his rent, a reliable vehicle and up to six months ’ expenses. Bobbitt's story ran in a local paper. By November 15，more than 10,000 local people had made donations through the GoFundMe page and more than $300,000 had been raised.On Thanksgiving，Bobbitt was resting in a hotel，his feet up on the bed，drawing up a grand plan for his new life, thanks to several thousand dollars raised to repay him for a good deed.1.

What is the best title for the text?A. A Homeless Veteran Paid Kindness ForwardB. A Homeless Veteran Had a Generous HeartC. A Homeless Veteran’s Kindness Paid OffD.A Small Kindness Made a Big Difference答案:1-4 BDAC2Gitanjali Rao, Colorado teenager who invented mobile device to test for lead（铅）in drinking water, was Time’s Kid of the Year for 2020. The magazine announced the award on Thursday, citing Rao’s ability to apply scientific ideas to real-world problems-and her desire to motivate other kids to take up their own causes.It was just the latest recognition for Rao, 15, who was named last year to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. She won praise in 2017 after she responded to the water crisis in Flint，Michigan，by creating a device named Tehys, using carbon nanotube sensors to detect（探测）lead in water. The Lone Tree, Colo., native was named America’s Top Young Scientist when she was in the seventh grade. She went on to cooperate with scientists in the water industry to try to get the device on the market.More recently, Rao has developed a phone and Web tool named Kindly, which uses artificial intelligence technology to detect possible early signs of cyberbullying（网络欺凌）.“You type in a word or phrase, and it’ s able to pick it up if it’s bullying, and it gives you the choice to edit it or send it the way it is,” Rao told Time. “The goal is not to punish people. As a teenager I know teenagers tend to become very angry sometimes. Instead, it gives you the chance to rethink what you’re saying so that you know what to do next time around.”Rao was chosen in part because of the way she has followed up her technical work with efforts to get other young people to work on solving the problems they see.“I don’t look like your typical scientist. Everything I see on TV is that it’s an older, usually white man as a scientist，” she told Time. “My goal has really shifted，not only from creating my own devices to solve the world’s problems, but inspiring others to do the same as well. So I really want to put out that message: If I can do it, you can do it, and anyone can do it.”5.What made Gitaniali Rao Time’s Kid of the Year for 2020?A. Her desire to guide other kids.B. Her invention of testing lead in water.C. Her idea of making devices commercial.D. Her excellent personal ability and desire to encourage other children.6. What is the function of Rao’s Web tool “Kindly”?A. To make sure the security of the network.B. To punish teenagers’ wrong thoughts.C. To use artificial intelligence technology.D. To type a word or phrase on the Internet.7.Why did Rao say “anyone can do it” in the last paragraph?A. A white man can work as a scientist.B. We ought to set a goal at an early age.C. We are supposed to inspire others to do the same.D. Everybody may succeed in solving world’s problems.8. In which section of newspaper may this text appear？A. Health.B. Science.C. PeopleD.

The students have only been in the US for a few weeks or months. Many students were from different countries last year. Woods Chan became concerned when she started hearing the Spanish-speaking students laugh when their classmates spoke Mam or Arabic.Woods Chan came up with an idea. She asked her students to take turns teaching a little bit of their home language each day. Students taught their partners how to count from 1 to 10, how to introduce themselves and how to say basic phrases or words like “Cool”. Then, they recorded themselves saying those phrases in short videos and wrote vocabulary words on the whiteboard.Woods Chan saw the difference in her students. She said they grew more confident after seeing their own language on the whiteboard and hearing it in the videos. They started making friends with each other across cultural lines. Other students who were not in that class would come in and see something written in Mam on the whiteboard and say, “Hey, that’s Mam! I speak Mam!”The project also helped students understand their partners better. Orlando, a 17-year-old student from El Salvador, said he never knew Arabic or Mam, even existed before he came to the US and heard his classmates talk. Now, he thinks it would be good for all students in his school to learn a little of their partners’ home languages. “When I first got here,” he said in Spanish, “I thought, ‘No one talks like me. I’m the only one, and I felt lonely.’ Now, I don’t feel so bad anymore.”Knowledge of other languages can help Woods Chan’s students beyond the classroom, too. Languages like Mam are becoming more and more common in the US. Some Oakland graduates have gone on to become Mam-English interpreters (口译员) to help fill a lack of interpreters in all kinds of settings.9．What made Woods Chan think of the idea?A．Some of her students making fun of other languages.B．Her students hardly using their home languages.C．Her students being interested in learning a new language.D．Her students having difficulty communicating with each other.10．What was the students’ feeling of seeing their home languages written on the whiteboard?A．Angry but accepting.B．Excited and proud.C．Worried but supportive.D．Relaxed and creative.11．What effect did Woods Chan’s project have on Orlando?A．It made him feel less lonely at school.B．It encouraged him to get a job as an interpreter.C．It helped him understand his home language better.D．It enabled him to work better in foreign language classes.12．What can be the best title for the text?A．School Is Not the Only Place to Learn B．All Her Students Are Language TeachersC．She Replies to Her Students’ Needs Quickly D．Language Is Not a Block to Communication（2023秋·北京·高一统考期中）When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade, she came to me with a problem. “Marcy hates me!” she cried. “Because Kathy is my friend, too.

I looked at her for a few moments, wondering how I got into this mess (困境), when suddenly an idea came to me.Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow, so does the basket. You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn’t do for yourself.

When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket.”She said softly, “I can tie my own shoes.”“Right. As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket with thingsonly you can do.”She looked up at me and said, “I understand.

It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any givenday. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sisterˈs friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me all the highlights. He did not let me down.The carnival is most definitely all about the samba. Itˈs a style of music and dance which has its roots in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being colonized (殖民), so this mixed culture of African, Latin and European styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals (和声). Itˈs the kind of music that you canˈt help dancing to, and I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, my hips and shoulders were swinging (摇摆) almost involuntarily.Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade, the symbol of Brazilian culture, inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship title, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street. About the samba parade, twelve main teams compete for the championship, and if they win, their performance will be talked about for years to come. So, you must be wondering how it was. Well, Iˈm afraid I canˈt tell you. Ronnie and I never made into the Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and it was truly amazing.21．What made the author nervous in the beginning?A．Busy schedule.B．The big crowd.C．No local guide.D．Culture shock.22．What can we learn about samba from this passage?A．It has its origin in America.B．It is not the taste of the author.C．It has a long and mixed culture.D．Its music is usually slow and soft.23．The author didnˈt regret missing the parade because ________.A．she met some amazing local peopleB．she didnˈt have the tickets for the paradeC．she celebrated the festival in a local wayD．she enjoyed herself by making her own parties24．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To recommend a helpful guide.B．To tell a painful history of Rio de Janeiro.C．To encourage people to learn samba.D．To share an unforgettable experience.（2023春·山东青岛·高一统考期中）Recently I was watching a talk show hosted by a comedian called Trevor Noah from South Africa. The part which struck me most was his advice about travelling. He said, “The one thing you will never waste your money on is travelling. Travel broadens the mind. It is the antidote to ignorance (无知).” In my opinion this statement should be everyone’s life motto (座右铭).This year I’ve had the opportunity to do a lot of travelling around Europe and it has shown me first hand how much you can learn and develop by visiting different places. It is so wonderful to be able to go to a different country, listen to the different languages, try local food and experience the different culture.I’ve personally noticed how different I am since I started exploring more. It involves being able to find good train or plane tickets, getting yourself to the airport, not to mention trying to find your way around a completely new city. While it can be scary at first, after a few trips you realize that Google Maps is your best friend and it really isn’t that difficult to figure out public transport. Travelling also helps you develop your organization skills! It is basic to figure out how to get to different tourist attractions and plan your time wisely. However, it is also nice to learn to relax. On top of that, hotels are a great way to meet new people from all around the world. It is fantastic when young people from different parts of the world come together; I’ve met so many strange and wonderful people this way.As far as I can see, travel as much as possible, because the experiences you will gain from travelling can’t be taught at school and they will change your life.25．What do the underlined words “antidote to” mean in the first paragraph?A．Replacement of.B．Development of.C．Treatment for.D．Agreement to.26．How will the author describe his trip to Europe?A．Busy.B．Hard.C．Rich.D．Costly.27．What has happened to the author since he began traveling?A．He has become more confident and independent.B．He has developed a skill to select tourist attractions.C．He has found it hard to figure out public transport.D．He has made many friends from all over the world.28．Which section is the text most likely to appear in a newspaper?A．News.B．Education.C．Opinions.D．Health.（2023春·江苏泰州·高一泰州中学校考阶段练习）Johan Clarey tends not to be in much of a rush when it comes to anything other than speeding down a hill on skis. Add Olympic success to the list of things he’s waited for.The Frenchman, who turned 41 in January, became the oldest man to win an Olympic medal in Alpine skiing in history when he claimed a silver behind Beat Feuz of Switzerland in the downhill at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games, breaking Bode Miller’s record by five years.“Everything came late in my life. Since I was a young boy, that’s what my mother said,” Clarey said. “I take extra time to do everything — walking, speaking and everything. Apparently, my career started quite the same.”This was Clarey’s fourth Olympics and realistically his last chance of being on the podium (领奖台) at the Olympics. “I took a lot of risks. I knew I had only one chance left in my career to get a medal in the Olympics,” he said. “And when I was going down, I knew I made a good run, but you never know in downhill skiing. Sometimes you’re fast, but sometimes you’re not. You never know why. But today was fast.” This was only Clarey’s second medal at a major championship; he also took home a silver in the super-G at the 2019 world championships.And this big moment almost didn’t happen: Clarey had considered retirement. He said he’s been having doubts about whether to continue competing for six years. The Frenchman said, “At 35, I said to myself, You have to do one year by one year.” That, he says now, was “a good choice”, because he has the medal to prove it. Clarey is still not quite ready to quit. He will turn his attention back to the World Cup circuit.29．What do we know about Clarey as a boy?A．He was gifted in snow sports.B．He preferred skiing to other sports.C．He got an early start on his future career.D．He seemed to mature later than his peers.30．What was Clarey’s achievement at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games?A．He won the championship in Alpine skiing.B．He competed in Alpine skiing for the first time.C．He won his first Olympic medal in Alpine skiing.D．He was the first Frenchmen to medal in Alpine skiing.31．What does Clarey now think of his decision at age 35?A．It was rewarding.B．It was too costly.C．It was a joke.D．It was a coincidence.32．What can we learn from Clarey’s story?A．Actions speak louder than words.B．Ups and downs make one strong.C．The early bird catches the worm.D．Determination is the key to success.（2023秋·贵州黔西·高一统考期末）A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher stressed the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished.Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!”. I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”“Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ actually means ‘Really!’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”Only then did I realize I had made a fool of mysell. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: What the English teachers said is always right to us students.33．A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because________.A．English idioms were not importantB．my teacher didn’t emphasize the importance of themC．I had no interest in themD．I didn’t realize the importance of English idioms34．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.B．The Englishman thought the Great Wall is worth visiting.C．The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.D．The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.35．At first, on hearing “You don’t say!” I thought the foreigner meant ________.A．he was only interested in the Great WallB．he was not interested in the topicC．I had talked too muchD．I had to stop talking36．After the Englishman explained the idiom, ________.A．I felt very foolishB．I thought the Englishman had made me a foolC．the Englishman became a real foolD．I became more carefully in everything（2023·全国·高一专题练习）In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr Jones always seems to be ahead.37．Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they .A．want to be as rich as their neighborsB．want others to know or to think that they are richC．don’t want others to know they are richD．want to be happy38．It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to .A．live outside New York City B．live in New York CityC．live in apartments D．have many neighbors39．Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is .A．an important name B．a popular name in the United StatesC．his neighbor’s name D．not a good name40．According to the writer, it is to keep up with the Joneses.A．correct B．interesting C．impossible D．good参考答案：1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A【导语】这是一篇记叙文。

On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles, Loe and her family grow, can〔装罐〕and preserve much of the food they consume.Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning expert. She also operates a website, where she shares her tips and recipes, with the goal of demonstrating that every has the ability to control what’s on their plate.Loe initially went to school to become an engineer, but she quickly learned that her enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food. “I got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs (香草) and foods for that fresh flavor,〞she said. Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking at night school. She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods.“I teach people how to live farm-fresh without a farm,〞 Loe said. Through her website Loe emphasizes that “anybody can do this anywhere.〞 Got an apartment with a balcony 〔阳台〕? Plant some herbs. A window? Perfect spot for growing. Start with herbs, she recommends, because “they’re very forgiving.〞 Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level,〞she added. “I think it’s a great place to start.〞“Then? Try growing something from a seed, she said, like a tomato or some tea.〞Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does. With every planted food.

The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken . Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would likehis dog bark.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,〞Steve Tregear said , “It was a very dog.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.〞 I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical〔一样的〕 to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, untilmy own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous〞 (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.1. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____.A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons2.

The author’s mother rewarded him with books.D. The author has had happy summers ever since.5. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. The Charm of a BookB. Mum’s Strict OrderC. Reunion with My BeagleD. My Passion for Reading4. 【·】At thirteen, I was diagnosed〔诊所〕 with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.〞She glanced down at me through her gl asses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.〞I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading systemof raised dots〔点〕, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind〞 in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted〞students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quitea surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A〞 on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?〞1. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because.A. He was new to the classB.

You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.28.

2021届福建省英语高考复习记叙文阅读理解训练18(含答案解析)

福建省英语高考复习记叙文阅读理解训练18（含答案解析）1【2020·山东卷】Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 01 Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public”at the expense of the “speaking.”02 Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.Even the most successful public spe aker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People's attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 05 percent of a speaker's message. So, don't stop speaking when you make a mist ake unless it's a truly serious one. 03Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 04 And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.05 It's rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer.”On the other hand, you probably can't count the times that you've thought, “I'm glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!”So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It's better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.A. Do the opposite.B. You want to be an effective public speaker.C. You don't need to apologize for a minor slip.D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.G However, the majority of peopl e are effective speakers because they train to be.【答案与解析】01.G 02.A03.C 04.B 05.D01.本文主题是介绍成为好的演讲者要掌握的一些原则。

2017届高三英语——阅读理解记叙文2016 I卷 CI am peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips of those , 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last, in all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most, So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America.I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:”Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier jo b, you’re consciously aware th at in that box yo u’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.29.

To Washington2015 I卷 BThe freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed bef ore you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part-particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 , rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the supplier s for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What made the author’s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer’s ma rket.26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.27. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Eat in a restaurant.B. Check into a hotel.C. Go to a farm.D. Buy fresh vegetables.2014 I卷 BPassenger pigeons（旅鸽）once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons – a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed,then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered（驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1, 1914.24. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _______.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. Were the largest population in the US25. The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ _______.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution26. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.27. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.2016 II卷 DA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrousshipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, com pleted as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.13. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure14. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander15. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting。
