That is a far greater proportion than those who said they used credit cards(45％)or cash(65％).These respondents said they most often used them for pay鄄ments in supermarkets and shopping malls,but they are also pop鄄ular for ordering food,buying travel tickets or eating out.Unsurprisingly,the younger the respondents,the more likely they were to have adopted this relatively young technology:only 56%of respondents aged35or older said they prefer making mo鄄bile payments to paying via PC,even though almost all owned smart phones.In contrast,88％of18to24-year-olds preferred paying via their mobile device.Mobile platforms are now taking advantage of the big data resources of their parent companies to expand business,and to challenge the traditional banks.Predictably,China’s big banks are refusing to co-operate with the upstarts,limiting the range of services they are able to offer.Of course,their reaction is not sur鄄prising.28.How does the author introduce his topic about mobile payment platforms?A.By raising a question.B.By making a comparison.C.By listing the details of a survey.D.By describing a scene of paying the bill.29.What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph4 refer to?A.Cash.B.Credit cards.C.Alibaba’s Alipay.D.Mobile payment platforms.30.What does the data in Paragraph5show us?A.The older don’t use mobile payments.B.The younger almost all own smart phones.C.The younger prefer paying by smart phones.D.The older are likely to use credit cards or cash.31.Why do traditional banks limit the range of services of payment platforms?A.They feel the threat from mobile payment.B.They can’t share their big data resources.C.They are determined to ensure financial safety.D.They are refused to cooperate with the platforms.DYour beliefs are very powerful and have the power to create or to destroy your life.In most cases,whatever you believe,is what you will become.If you believe that you are loser,that you never get a break in life,that you can’t accomplish anything, these things will be your reality.Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you commit to doing,and when you do, your accomplishments will know no bounds.You control your beliefs,and that is how you finally control your life.This is a very important point.So how do you develop beliefs that will empower you?Many of our beliefs come from our environment,the world we live in on a daily basis.If your environment is limiting your be鄄liefs,then work very hard on changing it.If you are constantly around people who are negative and limiting,find other people to hang out with.Get around positive,successful people.Beliefs also come from past experiences.That is why it is so important to experience success on a regular basis.Set small, achievable goals,and then try your best to reach them.“I will finish this project by early afternoon.”“I will make six calls on the phone in the next hour.”“I will exercise for20minutes tonight.”When you start to experience success,then you start to believe in success,and that leads to more and bigger successes.Beliefs come from knowledge.The more you learn,the more things you will know to be possible.Always take advantage of op鄄portunities to learn something new.It will bring new possibilities into your beliefs and your life.Most importantly,you can develop new beliefs by setting and visualizing goals for your life.Define(使明确)your goals clearly. Then,in your mind,see yourself achieving them in all of their sensory details.Your beliefs will lead you to their reality.32.What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A.Our beliefs are unlimited.B.Our beliefs have great power.C.Our beliefs can destroy our life.D.Our accomplishments are no boundary.33.What does the author advise us to do to experience suc鄄cess?A.To hang out with successful people.B.To set and visualize goals for your life.C.To establish aims to be realized easily.D.To take chances to learn something new.35.What is the most important about your beliefs according to the text?A.To make great efforts to achieve them.B.To try to experience success regularly.C.To gain as much knowledge as possible.D.To produce new beliefs by imaging goals.35.What may be the best title for the text?A.Why our beliefs are so powerfulB.How our beliefs can be developedC.The relationship between beliefs and goalsD.The factors that prevent us from living better第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020届新高考英语新题型练习01 完形填空阅读理解七选五套餐练(1)(含答案)
2020届新高考英语新题型练习完形填空阅读理解七选五套餐练（1）完形填空（山东省临沂市2020年高三上学期期末考试）Three years ago，I participated in Model United Nations(MUN)held by the Education Department，which was a mock(模拟的)UN activity．During the two days，students are separated in different groups which 21 different countries to debate and try to solve problems．MUN has 22 awards：best delegates(代表)，honorary mentions，and verbal mentions．Each time I participate in MUN，I made good 23 and undoubtedly got a few awards．But I often felt as if I’d 24 because I had never won the best delegate award．I 25 those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times，and I was just filled with 26 at their success．But later I realized that it was also 27 not to get the award because I could actually 28 something，and that I shouldn’t 29 the best delegate award until I was the best delegate I could be．Failures are completely subjective—we can look at a result as a failure or a 30．Any failure can be regarded as a(n) 31 because you can always learn something from it and do 32 next time．This is supported by John Locke’s theory that we are born with blank views：knowledge and ability are learned from our 33．That’s true．If I make a mistake in the life practice，then I probably won’t 34 that next time．I believe this is 35 the best way to become better．21．A．strengthen B．condemn C．inspire D．represent 22．A．identical B．temporary C．various D．false 23．A．preparations B．predictions C．appointments D．explanations 24．A．accelerated B．failed C．exited D．succeeded 25．A．approached B．trained C．expected D．witnessed26．A．relief B．envy C．satisfaction D．delight 27．A．annoyed B．ashamed C．good D．terrible 28．A．desert B．1earn C．delete D．display29．A．win B．miss C．deliver D．value30．A．bond B．bet C．victory D．1oss31．A．aim B．benefit C．burden D．1imit32．A．funnier B．worse C．better D．slower33．A．decisions B．attitudes C．positions D．experiences 34．A．repeat B．admit C．accept D．notice 35．A．wrongly B．scarcely C．truly D．narrowly阅读理解（山东师大附中2017级第三次月考）AI was in the garden with Augie, my grandson, watching the bees. “How do they make honey?” Augie asked. “Actually, Augie, I don’t know,” I replied. “But, Grandma, you have your phone,” he said. For Augie, holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything.During my childhood I was crazy about books. Over time, reading hijacked my brain, as large areas once processing the real world adapted to processing the printed word. As far as I can tell, this early immersion (沉浸) didn’t prevent my development.Many parents worry that “screen time” will damage children’s development, but recent research suggests that most of the common fears about children and screens are unfounded. There is one exception: looking at screens before bed really disturbs sleep, in people of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend strict restrictions on screen exposure. Last year, the organization examined the relevant science more thoroughly and changed its recommendations. The new guidelines stress that what matters is what children watch and with whom.New tools have always led to panic guesses. The novel, the telephone, and the television were all declared to be the End of Civilization, particularly in the hands of the young. Part of the reason may be that adult brains require a lot of focus and effort to learn something new, while children’s brains are designed to master new environments naturally. New technologies always seem disturbing to the adults attempting to master them, while attractive to those children likeAugie.When Augie’s father got home, Augie rushed to meet him and said in excitement. “Daddy, Daddy, look,” he said, reaching for my phone. “Do you know how bees make honey? I’ll show you…”21. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “hijacked” in Paragraph 2?A. occupied.B. damaged.C. improved.D. relaxed.22. What do the new guidelines of AAP focus on about “screen time”?A. The harm to children.B. The content and context.C. Children’s sleep.D. People’s fears.23. What might be the author’s attitude towards “screen time”?A. Opposed.B. Doubtful.C. Disappointed.D. Favorable.BToday companies have branches around the world. More than 11% of the US employers and employees work online either full-time or part-time, and that number is continuing growing. It is believed that it is a waste of time and money to fly around the world for face-to-face meetings. An effective solution to this problem is to use Web meetings.A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use in presentations or training projects or downloaded for on-demand playback.Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users’ desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.Web meetings can work well because they’re hosted on a server (服务器). Images from the presenter’s desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have accessto the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and “serve” them back to thousands of users at the same time.Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off-site provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.24.What is the disadvantage of the traditional meeting?A.It needs more people to organize it.B.It is expensive and time-consuming.C.It results in traffic accidents frequently.D.It fails to meet the demands of big companies.25.How do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings?A.By presenting successful documents.B.By recording the frequency of distraction.C.By tracking the listeners’ state of attention.D.By taking surveys about a successful meeting.26.What do you know about Web meetings according to the text?A.Web meetings are likely to be widely used.B.Web meetings help presenters stay focused.C.Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.D.Web meetings work well without the help of a server.CEvery year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes – and finds that alumni (毕业生) of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated the teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought t hat it was one of the most important experiences they’d ever had, regardless of age. And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with their income and educational attainment as adults. Other studies have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.27. What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Changing the course of children’s life.B. Participating in childhood art programs.C. Organizing arts-based museum programs.D. Remembering the time at museum events.28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell?A. The result of the study.B. The process of the study.C. The approach to the study.D. The object and content of the study.29. What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text?A. Passion for arts may remain long in kids’ whole life.B. No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts.C. Age matters in how people view their art experiences.D. Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts.30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How is Art Connected to Our Life?B. Can Art Education Affect Our Income?C. What Should Art Museums do for Kids?D. Should Children Walk into Art Museums?七选五（山东师范大学附属中学2020届高三第三次月考）Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.31 We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 32Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. 33Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we oncesaid. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 34 If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 35 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.A.Is it loving?B.How should I say it?C.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.D.Negative words destroy all those things.E.Generally people like positive and pleasant words.F.However, critical language may cause anger and defense.G.So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.参考答案完型填空21-25DCABD 26-30 BCBAC 31-35 BCDAC阅读理解21-25ABD BC 26-30 ABDAD七选五CGFAD。

【英语】高考英语快速阅读套题答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解A robot created by Washington State University (WSU) scientists could help elderly people with dementia (痴呆) and other limitations live independently in their own homes.The Robot Activity Support System or RAS, uses sensors installed in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities. It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen."RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected," said Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Currently, an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every day activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearly $2 trillion. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to incorporate into their smart home environment. They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that demonstrates how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently."While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been promising," Minor said. "The next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts, video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot."（1）How does RAS serve elderly people?A. Through sensors.B. Through objects.C. Through a mobile robot.D. Through their daily activities.（2）What can we know about RAS?A. It is the first robot used in daily life.B. Its function remains to be tested.C. It can locate people and do any task.D. It can cook for owners on its own.（3）What's Minor's attitude toward the future of RAS?A. Doubtful.B. Negative.C. Optimistic.D. Uncertain.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Elderly people leave the nursing home.B. Smart Home Tests first elder-Care robot.C. RAS, the first robot to make home smart.D. Older adults have benefited from RAS.【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款由美国华盛顿州立大学的科学家们研发的机器人，可以帮助那些痴呆或有身体缺陷的老年人在家里过上自立的生活。

高考英语阅读理解训练习题汇总三篇高考英语阅读理解训练习题 1The man from the west stopped and drew back his arm.“You're not Jimmy Wells," he said in a quick and angry way, "Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a man' nose from a Roman to pug." "It sometimes changes a good man into a bad on e,” said the tall man, "you've been under arrest for ten minutes.Silky Bob.Chicago thinks you may have dropped over our way and phones us she wants to have a word with you.Going quietly, are you? That's sensible.Now before we go to the station here's a note I was asked to hand you.You may read it here at the window.It's from Patrolman Wells?" The man from the West opened the little piece of paper handed him.His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he�d finished.The note was rather short.Bob: I was at the right place on time.When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face wanted in Chicago.Somehow I couldn't do it myself, so I went around and got a plain clothes man (便衣) to do the job.1.The man from the West must have broken the law _____.A.in ChicagoB.in New YorkC.in his hometownD.somewhere else2.The man from the West recognized the tall man not to be the one he had been waiting for because the tall man ____.A.had a different accent from hisB.had a different nose from his friend'sC.was his another old friendD.said "Chicago wants to talk with you.?"3.The two men may have walked _____.A.for ten minutesB.arm in armC.face to faceD.both A and B4.We can suppose Jim _____.A.was afraid of the man from the WestB.got another man to help him when necessaryC.had an appointment with Bob 20 years agoD.had something else to do and couldn't e himselfKeys:1-4 ABDC高考英语阅读理解训练习题 2Fear and its panion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used.If fire didn't hurt when itburned,children would play with it until their hands were burned away.Similarly,if pain existed but fear didn't,a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before.A really fearless soldier―and some do exist―is not agood soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army.Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used.If,for example,you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car,you are letting fear rule you too much.The important thing is not to let fear rule you,but instead,to use fear as your servant and guide.Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.In many cases,you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger.For example,you see a car ing straight towards you; fear warns you,you jump out of the way,and all is well.In some cases,however,you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger.For example,you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house,and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes.In this case,fear has given you its warning,you have examined it and decided on your course of action,so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you,and you have to try to e it.60.Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if_________.A.they were not well educated at schoolB.they had never played with fire beforeC.they had no sense of painD.they were fearful of pain61.People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because_________.A.they have gained experienceB.they are warned of the danger and take quick actionC.they jump out of the way in timeD.they are calm in face of danger62.What is implied but not stated in the passage?A.Too much fear is harmfulB.Fear is always something helpfulC .Fear is something that can be avoidedD.Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life63.The best title for this passage should be __________.A.No Pains,No GainsB.Pain and ActionsC.The Value of Fear D .The Reason Why People Fear参__：60―63 CBAC高考英语阅读理解训练习题 3Members of the working class have blue-collar jobs.They are construction workers,truck drivers,mechanics,steel workers,electricians,and the like.What makes this class differ from the lower class is,first,longer periods of employment__and therefore,more fixedes?and,second,employment in skilled or semiskilled (半熟练的) occupations,not unskilled ones.Although unemployment hits all levels of the American economy,including those of skilled and semi-skilledworkers,it is most mon at the bottom of the class structure and increasingly less mon at each level upward.They consider themselves to be respectable and hard working and they look down upon members of the "lower" class,whom they often consider to be lazy,dishonest,and too ready to exploit public assistance.Most people in the working class have at least high school education.Many have some experience of college ,though few are college graduates.Unionization has helped the working class,but a rapidly changing economy and frequent periods of high unemployment make it difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings greatly.Purchasing a house for people in this class is extremelydifficult,although a certain percentage may receive houses from their parents.(Home-owning rises with social class.)A greater number of the members of the working class take relatively little satisfaction in their jobs,because much of their work is ordinary and boring.As a result,many seek their main satisfaction in recreational ( 娱乐的) activities.Many members of this class would like to earn enough money to leave their jobs and start their own businesses,though few make it.Many place their expectations on their children,hoping that they at least will rise in the ladder of success,American style.1.Which of the following is true about the working class.?A.They are often employed as skilled and semi-skilled workers.B.They are often offered jobs with high es.C.They are often considered lazy and dishonest.D.They are often exploited by the public.2.The underlined word “hit” (paragraph 1 ) r oughly means .A.strike with a blowB.have bad effects onC.break up3.Most people in the working class .A.have difficulty increasing their savings greatlyB.have at least some experience of collegeC.receive houses from their parentsD.buy houses by themselves4.Many members from the working class are not satisfied with their jobs because .A.they could not rise in the ladder of successB.they are not interested in their jobsC.they could not earn much moneyD.they are not their own bosses答案1.A2.B3.A4.B。
高考英语阅读理解记叙文练习题含答案
高考英语阅读理解记叙文练习题含答案（2023春·河南郑州·高一郑州外国语学校校考阶段练习）Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and the 4 minutes to go from one class to another isn’t really a lot of time even for a quick boy like me. Today, I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention(放学后留校).”After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today, we wrote about ourselves. The teacher asked us to just write what we thought, and we would pay attention to punctuation(标点符号) later.

At night, the 26-year-old young man, taking off his helmet (头盔) and blue jacket, dives into small theaters where he is going to use stand-up comic sets inspired by his personal stories as a deliveryman to make people laugh.In 2019, he found that running errands can bring him a good income. Then he moved from his hometown to Xi’an, and became a deliveryman. He turned all the hardships he has been going through these years into funny jokes, which brings a refreshing life. For him, the skill of humor is not something he was born with, but what he has been diligently (勤奋地) training with his sincerity and eagerness to get a better life.On a freezing winter night, he stopped for a while in a bar after finishing the errands and heard rounds of cheers and laughs coming from the bar, and he was told that it was an open-mic event for stand-up comedy (脱口秀) . He was crazy with the joyous atmosphere into which he wanted to get himself integrated. The club owner later sent him a guidebook for stand-up comedy and gave him a chance to go on stage.

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. She wants me to be her friend and nobody else’s. You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too!”Oh! 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. I did everything you couldn’t do on your own.”She nodded.“Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket. 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. There are some things that I have to do for myself because they are in my basket.”13．What was Sara’s problem?A．She didn’t have a basket.B．She didn’t want her own basket.C．She couldn’t deal with her friendship.D．Her mother was too hard on her.14．What did the author think of Sara’s problem at first?A．Interesting.B．Exciting.C．Moving.D．Challenging.15．We can infer that Sara ________.A．would talk to Marcy herselfB．wouldn’t make friends with KathyC．was too young to deal with anythingD．managed to persuade her mother to help her16．The baskets mentioned in the passage refer to ________.A．gifts given by God when everyone is bornB．something that people use to keep vegetablesC．growing abilities as you grow upD．friendship that needs repairing（2023·高一课时练习）Age has never been a problem for Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after.

She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time.Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends.

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。

（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Durian(榴莲) is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因组) and find out,Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species.The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.（1）What give durian its unique smell?A. Onions nearby.B. Two gene copies.C. Rotten ingredients in it.D. Volatile sulfur compounds.（2）What does the underlin ed word “evolved” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Developed.B. Escaped.C. Predicted.D. Tolerated.（3）What can we infer from the text?A. No birds enjoy eating durian.B. Durian can be planted all over the world.C. Some of durian species can not be eaten.D. Durian has no relationship with the cacao tree.（4）What's the best title for the text?A. What's Durian?B. The Influence of the SmellC. The Distribution of DurianD. The Mystery of the Unpleasant Smell of Durian 【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，新加坡的研究者找出导致水果有难闻气味的原因就是水果中含有的挥发性硫化合物非常活跃，这种气味对于野外生存榴莲来说有利于吸引动物来吃这种水果，同时传播种子。

高考英语阅读理解训练题1【future】Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino. The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993.That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does.

高考英语快速阅读套题答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解I believe in the power of science fiction, not just for its capacity to transform dreams into reality, but also for its power to bond together those who share a common vision of the future. For me, that's true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasn't Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser(巡洋) on the screen.Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When it's warm at night, we're not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.Gene Rodenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said, " Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses(绕过)a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects. "A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I'm now a science writer.Yes, science fiction has made me into a "nerd"(书呆子), and it also has been a source of joy for my family, making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors who have shared their visions; the world and my family are better for it. Thank my dad, who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson's words," Since I dipped into the future, I saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that would be."（1）What is the special bond between the author and his father?A. Their similar dreams.B. Their love for each other.C. Their common interest.D. Their passion for science.（2）What does the author mainly show in paragraph 2?A. His deep impression on his dad.B.
