【英语】高二英语阅读理解(人生百味)题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you'll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child's day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的) to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of "time" and "destination"（目的地）are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them. I asked them what they'd seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations(感觉）. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.（1）What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A.To avoid jumping to conclusions.B.To stop complaining all the time.C.To follow the teacher's advice.D.To admit mistakes honestly.（2）The bird watchers' behavior shows that they __________.A.are very patient in their observationB.are really fascinated by natureC.care only about the names of birdsD.question the accuracy of the field guides（3）Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A.The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.B.They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C.The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D.They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.（4）In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________.e our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB.get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC.open our mind to new things and ideasD.try our best to protect nature【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。
作者希望我们能够运用我们的感官和情感去全方位感受自然的美妙，去感受世界的美好。
（1）考查推理判断。
根据第三段中的“ The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicti ng what we are going to see and feel before it occurs.”唤醒感官的第一步是在它发生之前停止预测我们将要看到和感觉到的东西。
可知，作者认为在事情发生前避免过早下结论。
故选A。
（2）考查细节理解。
根据第四段中的“ I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a ‘ruby-crowned kinglet’ and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.”我看见观鸟者发现了一只鸟，立刻在田野向导里看了看，说：“一只红宝石王冠的小王”并结束了。
他们不再注意这只鸟，也不观察它在干什么。
可知，这些观鸟者只是匆匆记下这些鸟的名字，而没有观察它们在做什么。
故选C。
（3）考查细节理解。
根据第五段中的“I encountered many hikers who were heade d to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them.”可知，徒步旅行者只关心能够及时到达目的地，而很少关心周围的事物。
故选 B。
（4）考查主旨大意。
根据最后一段中的“ Nature seems to unfold to people w ho watch and wait. Next time you take a walk，no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations.”可知，作者希望我们能够运用我们的感官和情感去全方位感受自然的美妙，去感受世界。
故选A。

2．阅读理解Recently, as the British doctor Robert Winston took a train from London to Manchester, he found himself becoming steadily angry. A woman had picked up her phone and begun a loudconversation, which would last an unbelievable hour. Furious, Winston began to tweet about the woman. He took her picture and sent it to his more than 40,000 followers.When the train arrived at its destination, Winston rushed out. He'd had enough of the woman's rudeness. But the press were now waiting for her on the platform. And when they showed her Winston's messages, she used just one word to describe Winston's actions: rude.Winston's tale is something of a microcosm(缩影) of our age of increasing rudeness, fueled by social media. What can we do to fix this?Studies have shown that rudeness spreads quickly, almost like the common cold. Just witnessing rudeness makes it far more likely that we, in turn, will be rude later on. The only way to avoid it is to deal with it face to face. We must say, "Just stop." For Winston, that would have meant approaching the woman, telling her that her conversation was frustrating other passengers and politely asking her to speak more quietly or make the call at another time.The rage and injustice we feel at the rude behavior of a stranger can drive us to do odd things. In my own research, surveying 2,000 adults, I discovered that the acts of revenge people had taken ranged from the ridiculous to the disturbing. Winston did shine a spotlight on the woman's behavior — but from afar, in a way that shamed her.We must instead combat rudeness head on. When we see it occur in a store, we must step up and say something. If it happens to a colleague, we must point it out. We must defend strangers in the same way we'd defend our best friends. But we can do it with grace, by handling it without a trace of aggression and without being rude ourselves. Because once rude people can see their actions through the eyes of others, they are far more likely to end that strain themselves. As this tide of rudeness rises, civilization needs civility.（1）What can you learn about Robert Winston from the passage?A. He knows how to speak to rude people.B. He behaved improperly and spoke loudly on the train.C. He lost his temper due to other people's rudeness.D. He reacted to a woman's rude behavior wrongly.（2）What does "fueled by social media" mean in Paragraph 3?A. Rude behavior is common on social media.B. Rudeness can be avoided through social media.C. People can easily get away through social media.D. Social media may spread and cause rudeness.（3）According to the writer, how should you respond when you meet rude people?A. Record them and post it on the Internet.B. Point it out in a polite and skillful way.C. Do nothing but wait for other people to fix it.D. Pay them back by doing equally disturbing things.（4）Which of the following statement is true about the last paragraph?A. We can only point out rudeness from familiar people.B. Rudeness and manners can hardly coexist in civilized society.C. Both strangers and acquaintances deserve our friendly warning.D.

But Seattle writer Rosette Royale found it repellent. To Royale, the park seemed like a damp, dirty and unpleasant place. "I couldn't figure out why anyone would want to carry a 50-pound pack into the wilderness and camp there for days," he said. "It didn't make sense."Then he met Bryant Carlin, a vendor (小贩) for Real Change, the Seattle weekly sold on the street by vendors who are homeless or low-wage earners. He was also a skilled outdoorsman and a nature photographer who would take weeks-long photographic journeys to the park. The two men connected in the fall of 2011 when Royale interviewed Carlin for a feature story in Real Change about Carlin's photography.That first time they met—and for years afterward—Carlin invited Royale to go camping with him. Each time, Royale said "Thanks, but no thanks." Until one day, in the spring of 2015, Royale surprised himself by saying yes. "Little did I know," said Royale, "that saying 'yes' would change the course of my life."Royale and Carlin went on five separate journeys to the Olympic wilderness. They camped in spring, summer, fall and winter. For Royale, the trips were exhausting and terrifying. But the trips were also inspiring, and helped Royale—a black, strange man—to develop a relationship with the outdoors that he had never experienced before.For Carlin, the trips were an opportunity to throw off the label of "homeless". In Olympic National Park, sleeping outside just means you're a camper. But there was one aspect of Carlin's life in the city that he couldn't escape: alcohol abuse. While he never brought beer on their camping journeys, the effects of years of drinking weren't so easy to leave behind.（1）What does the underlined word "repellent" in paragraph 1 mean?A.Appealing.B.Puzzling.C.Rewarding.D.Disgusting.（2）According to Royale, what made his life course changed?A.His first meeting with Carlin.B.His rejection of Carlin's invitation.C.His camping trips with Carlin.D.His reading of Carlin's feature story.（3）What did the trips with Royale mean to Carlin?A.They improved his photography skills.B.They helped him feel a sense of belonging.C.They deepened his relationship with nature.D.They enabled him to get rid of alcohol addiction.【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）B【解析】【分析】文章主要讲了罗亚尔和卡林的奥林匹克国家公园露营之旅对各自产生的意义。

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.

高二英语阅读理解(人生百味)题20套(带答案)
高二英语阅读理解(人生百味)题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解Two of the saddest words in the English language are "if only". I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, "Take the extra minute to do it right." I always try to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only" moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don't only avoid those "if only" moments when it comes to safety. It's equally important to avoid "if only" in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say "I love you" or "I forgive you." When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here. But then I thought about the fact that he's 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say "if only" about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.（1）Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute" rule?A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.（2）The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.A.keep her appointment with the eye doctorB.meet her father who was already an old manC.join in the holiday celebration of the companyD.finish her work before the deadline approached（3）The underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.A.abandonedckedC.avoidedD.taken（4）What is the best title for the passage?A.To Keep Emotional Well-beingB.To Prevent "If Only" MomentsC.To Follow the Most Useful RuleD.To Achieve the Peace of Mind【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者认为英语中最悲伤的两个词语是"if only"，因为他们表达了遗憾。

高二英语阅读理解(人生百味)试题(有答案和解析)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh (法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, "Oh, boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it's going to rain." I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, "Oh, that bus left five minutes ago." Dreams of head-cutting!It's not the news that makes someone angry. It's the unsympathetic attitude with which it's delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn't get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you're tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist (拳头) right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, "Oh, that's all right. I'll catch the next one." Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸的) person is sure to have.（1）In the writer's opinion, his neighbor was .A. friendlyB. warm-heartedC. not considerateD. not helpful（2）From Paragraph 3, we learn that the writer .A. was mad at the sales agentB. was reminded of the cruel pharaohC. wished that the sales agent would have had dreamsD. dreamed of cutting the sales agent's head that night（3）What is the main idea of the text?A. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过在生活中的自身经历来说明好消息能使人高兴，坏消息使人气氛，而每个人偏偏时不时地给出坏消息，所以传递坏消息的方式很重要。

高二英语阅读理解(人生百味)真题汇编(含答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解Rich countries are racing to dematerialise payments. They need to do more to prepare for the side-effects.For the past 3,000 years, when people thought of money they thought of cash. Over the past decade, however, digital payments have taken off— tapping your plastic on a terminal or swiping a smartphone has become normal. Now this revolution is about to turn cash into an endangered species in some rich economies. That will make the economy more efficient—but it also causes new problems that could hold back the transition(转型).Countries are removing cash at varying speeds. In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years. America is perhaps a decade behind. Outside the rich world, cash is still king. But even there its leading role is being challenged. In China digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand— younger consumers want payment systems that plug easily into their digital lives. But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets) and telecoms companies (in emerging ones) are developing fast, easy-to-use payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to running the infrastructure behind the cash economy—ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage old-fashioned customers with heavy fees.In the main, the prospect of a cashless economy is excellent news. Cash is inefficient. When payments dematerialise, people and shops are less open to theft. It also creates a credit history, helping consumers borrow.Yet set against these benefits are a couple of worries. Electronic payment systems may risk technical failures, power failure and cyber-attacks. In a cashless economy the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind. And a digital system could let governments watch over people's shopping habits and private multinationals exploit their personal data.（1）Some rich countries are trying to .A. dematerialize moneyB. get rid of the side-effects of cashC. make the economy more efficient by protecting endangered speciesD. promote payment without paper money or coins（2）In paragraph 3, several countries are mentioned to show .A. the differences between developed and developing countriesB. that cash is still king across the worldC. digital payments are becoming a trend that cannot be stoppedD. China is developing faster that those developed countries in digital payment（3）Cash is disappearing largely because .A. younger consumers are short of money to live their digital livesB. suppliers are trying to reduce costs and obtain money and dataC. the infrastructure is developing at a high speed in developed marketsD. financial firms want to abandon old-fashioned customers（4）The author's attitude towards digitalized payment is .A. favorableB. negativeC. objectiveD. indifferent【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，富裕国家正在减少现金支付,现金正在因为需求等原因消失。

【英语】高二英语阅读理解(人生百味)真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we're hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there's a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a "three-year degree" model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly "throw out" one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist "diluting (稀释)" the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education.A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it's not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.（1）Which of the following can best sum up the main idea?A.It's time to shorten the learning process.B.Best learning takes place over time.C.University education should be watered down.D.College education calls for reform.（2）We can learn from the passage that ________.A.most American universities are against the "three-year degree" modelB.many famous US universities are considering adopting the "three-year degree" modelC.professors are willing to accept the "three-year degree" modelD.The "three-year degree" model can make college learning more efficient（3）In most US universities, ________.A.college students are offered the co-op programB.electives' credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC.all students are required to finish four-year education before graduationD.some excellent students can graduate ahead of time（4）We can infer that________.A.the author is a college professor exploring ways to make learning more efficientB.the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC.the author considers the university education quality very importantD.the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者认为把大学四年的学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意，保证足够的时间才能保证大学教育的质量。
高二英语人生百味类阅读试题答案及解析
高二英语人生百味类阅读试题答案及解析1. A few days ago we –––that’s me and the husband ––– took a cab to the station. Chat with the driver fell to the wrong of cyclists, and the misunderstanding of the road rules. So far as the rules of the road go, there seems to be one basic principle: when you are driving a car you hate bikes, when you are riding a bike you hate cars (and I guess walkers hate everyone).There is an obvious difference of viewpoint built in here. It wasn’t until I started to drive a car (almost 20 years after I had first ridden a bike) that I actually realized that you could not see a cyclist at night without lights. In fact I now want to shout at late night cyclists without lights (like motorists once did at me): “ You’ll get killed, sunshine, I can’t see you.”The problem is that cyclists do ride headlong into danger. It's not just not having lights. It’s biking on pavements (and so threatening to injure a load of innocent walkers in the process) and biking down one-way streets the wrong way.I admit that I do bike the wrong way down a one-way street sometimes. My feeble(软弱无力) defense is that I try always to do it as if I know I was doing wrong. That is slowly, with an apologetic look on the face, and ready to get off at any minute. I can’t bear the guys(一伙人) (usually, but not always it is guys) who do it as if they owned the place, and at high speed.So cyclists are not entirely innocent. But they are among the disadvantaged groups, because the bottom line is that a car or a lorry can kill a cyclist and not the other way around.【1】 When did the writer realize the danger for late night cyclists without lights?A．Not until she became a driver herself.B．Not until she had driven a car for 20 years.C．After she was shouted at by a motorist.D．After she was once knocked down by a group of guys.【答案】A【解析】A 考查细节理解。

With a positive mind, I told myself nothing should stop me now, and was more than keen to make it a success.However, the least expected thing happened. Iraq invaded Kuwait. Tension ran high in the region. Eventually the war broke out, and many people fled the country, leaving my firm in deep trouble.As usual, "things become difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even water down your goals and ambitions." I was no exception. I thought of running away. I remembered the words of Thomas Edison, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to succeed when they gave up."I decided to hang on, telling myself, "I am not afraid of challenges and obstacles." I stayed on through months of uncertainty and insecurity. Finances ran low, and banks could not wait to get their dues. To add to all this, the banks even threatened to take all my vehicles. I felt I made a wrong decision to move there. I was now ready to face failure.I was living against all hopes, believing that something good would happen. After 2 months the war ended. My persistence paid off: people started flooding back and the car bookings picked up, five times over.Success comes to the one who dares, even after failure, to think positively and look forward confidently. After all, it is only the experience that makes a man tough. Failure does not mean you will never make it. It means that it will take a little longer. It provides us with a learning experience.（1）The main method the author uses to support his understanding of his professor's viewpoint is ________.A. offering analysesB. providing explanationsC. making comparisonsD. giving examples（2）How did the author feel when the war between Iraq and Kuwait broke out?A.
