英语阅读理解(人物故事)题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解I'm not much of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowers-but I don't have a good track record when it comes to making them grow.A few months after our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs (郁金香球茎). She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring. ''When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you'll know that it's almost time for your son to come home. They'll give you what you need most.'' She walked me through the process of planting them. I thanked her — trying to show my gratitude for her gift.It was a long winter — cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.Day after day I noted the flowers' progress. And day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. Now with spring just around the corner, nothing could keep either of us from marching toward the light. Almost all of those bulbs bloomed. And with each brightly colored flower, I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again.（1）What can we know about the author?A.She is a professional gardener.B.She is not good at growing flowers.C.She never plants flowers at home.D.She often sends friends flowers as gifts.（2）Why did the writer forget the tulip bulbs soon?A.The bitter winter reminded her of her son far away.B.She was discouraged from making another attempt.C.They failed to live through the cold and long winter.D.She had no hope for beautiful flowers indeed.（3）What were those flowers mentioned in the last paragraph referred to?A.A physical representation of the hope.B.Things deep inside her heart and soul.C.A lesson she will never forget completely.D.The trouble she had in making them come out.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.A dark winter with hope.B.Planting hope in winter.C.An area of green in spring.D.Living a changeable life.【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者的儿子去了中东，作者感到孤独和寂寞。

一位朋友送来了一盒郁金香球茎，这种花的种植，给作者带来了希望。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的“I'm no t much of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowers-but I don't have a good track record when it comes to making them grow.”我不是个好园丁，我喜欢漂亮的花，但我在种植方面没有良好的记录，可知，作者虽然喜欢花，但不擅长种花。

故选B。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“It was a long winter —cold and dark …Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.”那是一个漫长的冬天——又冷又黑……枯叶、霜和最后那场雪覆盖了我种那些花的地方，我很快救忘记了它们的存在，可知，冬天很冷、很长，故推测作者忘记它们是因为觉得它们熬不过这个冬天，即没对它们抱有希望。

故选D。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据最后一段中的“Day after day I noted th e flowers' progress. And day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. ”我日复一日的关注这花的成长。

一天又一天我的儿子终于要回家了；以及“And with each brightly colored flower, I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again. ”每开一朵色彩鲜艳的花，都标志着我离再次把儿子抱在怀里的日子又近了一天，可知，每开一朵花就代表作者儿子的归来近了一天，即花就是儿子回来的希望。

故选A。

（4）考查主旨大意。

根据第二段中的“She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring. ''When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you'll know that it's almost time for your son to come home. ”她说这些郁金香球茎秋天种下，整个冬天都在土里。

它们的球茎内有生长所需的营养物质，到了春天的就会从土里出来。

当你看到这些小花的叶子朝着太阳的方向生长时，你就知道你的儿子差不多该回家了，可知，本文主要讲述了冬天种下的郁金香球茎在春天会长出来，这也意味着作者的儿子快要回来，即花代表着作者儿子回来的希望。

B故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和主旨大意两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，同时根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

2．阅读理解On a recent trip to the island of Newfoundland, Canada, my husband asked our talkative cab driver what made him most proud to be from there."Our generosity and hospitality (好客)," he replied in a strong local accent. "Your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, someone will stop to help. People here are kind like that."His answer lingered in my mind during that ride with my husband and teenage kids, as weheaded out to explore on the first day of our vacation.Little did I know we were about to experience some of that remarkable Newfoundland kindness for ourselves.We met Alma that same morning at the start of a long hike.Our teenagers hurried ahead, and as we walked behind, admiring the scenery, two women in sunglasses and summer hiking gear stopped.They'd heard us discussing different routes, then asked if we'd like suggestions.They looked to be in their 40s, and were both enthusiastic to share their local expertise.We listened eagerly, taking mental notes, until one of the women asked, "You have a car, right?"I explained that there were no cars available during our week on the island, so we had to rely on cabs instead."Oh no," she said, "you need a car." And then, as casually as if offering a piece of chewing gum (口香糖), she said: "Take mine!"Dumbfounded, my husband and I just smiled in disbelief."Why not?" She insisted. "You need a car to get to know all these places.""But you don't even know us," I said."That doesn't matter," she continued with absolute determination.Stunned, I looked over at her friend, who shrugged and said, "That's Alma."Forty minutes of talking later, my family climbed into Alma's car.We spent the rest of our vacation discovering different areas of this beautiful island.But it wasn't the groups of whales we saw, or the vast areas of woodland, that made this place so memorable.Instead, it was the act of kindness from a complete stranger that made us realize how special Newfoundland really was.Next year, there's no doubt where we'll be taking our summer vacation. Who knows what act of kindness we'll meet then?（1）What problem did the author's family have in Newfoundland?A.They couldn't understand the local accent.B.Their car broke down on the first day.C.They got lost during a hike.D.They didn't have a car.（2）The underlined word "dumbfounded" in Paragraph 12 is closest in meaning to ______.A.shockedB.satisfiedC.relievedD.embarrassed（3）What impressed the author most during her stay in Newfoundland?A.The talkative cab driver.B.The whales swimming.C.The beautiful scenery of the island.D.The help from an enthusiastic stranger.（4）What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?A.She is looking forward to meeting Alma once more.B.She expects to visit Newfoundland again.C.She hasn't decided where to go next year.D.She also wants to be kind to others during vacation.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者最近一次去加拿大的纽芬兰旅行时，被当地人的热情好客深深触动。
