高考英语阅读理解专题训练极品题(2)
2014高考英语阅读理解专题训练极品题（2）及答案[2013·江苏卷] -----Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise：the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because anti－slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again，in the postwar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial, at least today, of Twain's novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn，Twain's most widely read tale.Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck them as rude. Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums(贫民窟)．”More recently the book has been attack ed because of the character Jim，the escaped slave，and many occurences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim，for which the novel is often severely criticized，never appears in it.)But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point.The novel is strongly anti －slavery.Jim's search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J．Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities, “the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual：Jim, the father and the man.”There is much more.Twain's mystery novel Pudd'nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的)to whites，especially inintelligence，Twain's tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her master's baby and，for fear that the child should be sold South, switched him for the master's baby by his wife.The slave's light－skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave－holding class.The master's wife's baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.The point was difficult to miss：nurture(养育)，not nature，was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech，for example—were, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.Twain's racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography(自传)about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows” in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black－face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.Was Twain a racist？Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the present，we will find nothing but error.Lincoln，who believed the black man the inferior of the white, fought and won a war to free him.And Twain, raised in a slave state, briefly a soldier，and inventor of Jim，may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.65．How do Twain's novels on slavery differ from Stowe's?A．Twain was more willing to deal with racism.B．Twain's attack on racism was much less open.C．Twain's themes seemed to agree with plots.D．Twain was openly concerned with racism.66．Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its ________．A．target readers at the bottomB．anti－slavery attitudeC．rather impolite languageD．frequent use of “nigger”67．What best proves Twain's anti－slavery stand according to the author?A．Jim's search for his family was described in detail.B．The slave's voice was first heard in American novels.C．Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.D．Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.68．The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that ________．A．slaves were forced to give up their babies to their mastersB．slaves' babies could pick up slave－holders' way of speakingC．blacks' social position was shaped by how they were brought upD．blacks were born with certain features of prejudice69．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A．The attacks.B．Slavery and prejudice.C．White men.D．The shows.70．What does the author mainly argue for?A．Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.B．Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.C．Twain's works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.D．Twain's works should be read from a historical point of view.【要点综述】本篇为说明文，谈到马克·吐温的小说是否对奴隶制和偏见进行了反抗，以及它受到不同人士的批评情况。
高考英语阅读理解训练及参考答案
高考英语阅读理解训练及参考答案高考英语阅读理解训练1：Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways.Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.Food can also have a specific meaning，and play a significant role in a family or cultures celebrations or traditions.The foods we eat —and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread，whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table，is a common symbol of togetherness.Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests.Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread，so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations.In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year.In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita.A coin is put into the cake，which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child，and food can play a significant role.In China，when a baby is one month old，families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includesgiving redcolored eggs to guests.In many cultures，round foods such as grapes，bread，and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.*大意：*讲述了食物在不同文化中的作用。
高考英语阅读理解练习及答案
高考英语阅读理解练习及答案高考英语阅读理解练习1：Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists , jobs and money are lost.56.Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.57.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ________ .A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourists customsC. over - crowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic58.It can be inferred from the text that ________ .A. the author doesnt like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit from tourist attractionC. other parts of a countrys economy wont benefit from tourism muchD. we cant build too many support facilities59.The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ________ .A. waste a lot of moneyB. weaken their economyC. help establish their customsD. help improve their life答案：56.D*一开始便讲如果没有适当的计划，旅游业会带来的各种问题，可见前文叙述适当计划的好处，以正反两方面来阐述。

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。

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits（品质）in the Americans．They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk．Living and competing with all these confidence American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor．As a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind．Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly．Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all．What’s worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive．Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it．Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace．But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches．（The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking）．Modesty is a trait highly valued in China，but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．1．To compete with American students it’s very important to．A．be quite confident B．be polite and friendlyC．have more discussions with them D．understand what they think about2．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who ．A．gives a silly or simple answerB．tries to seize any chance to speak in classC．shows no interest in the courseD．is considered to have no opinion of his own3．The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if ．A．he asks a student to repeat what he has saidB．the students bargain with himC．he pretends to know what he doesn’tD．he has to give a speech4．We learn from the second paragraph that ．A．we should also remain modest in AmericaB．modesty doesn’t help you much in AmericaC．Americans also like modest peopleD．modesty can help you through an American graduate program5．The passage is mainly developed by ．A．providing examplesB．making comparisonsC．giving different figuresD．telling personal experiences【参考答案】1---5、ADCBD2022高考英语二轮：（精选）阅读理解训练（2）及答案AWhen Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter (炼铜厂), and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened inside him. Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No”.Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren’t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that, he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted.Paul later got married but his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote.Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow (誓言) he made to himself as a child.21.When Paul was a boy, _______.A. he had decided never to leave his hometownB. the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelterC. he hit a young visitor because of his comments on the wastelandD. he stopped the copper smelter polluting the area22.Paul went to college to study the science of plants, because _______.A. he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himselfB. he was interested in planting trees since he was youngC. he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help himD. he thought his knowledge would make his advice more convincing23.What does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense” probably mean?A. It was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.B. His normal work and life would be greatly affected.C. No one would like to join him in the efforts.D. He had to keep everything he did secret.24.The company hired Paul to plant trees and grass because_______.A. they realized the importance of environmental protectionB. what Paul was doing moved themC. Paul persuaded them to help himD. they had legal pressure参考答案A篇21-24 CDADBMusic died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum (课程). The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test，it is not the fault of drama and music classes—they are failing because the “academic” classes are not sufficient (充分的).It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well-rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art—there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge—certainly not a good preparation for the real world.25. Music and drama are not included in the high school curriculum mainly because ________.A. the school committee pays no attention to themB. the school is afraid of losing financial supportC. the students are not interested in both of themD. the state standardized test is more important26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery test.B. Quite a few students are discouraged from learning music and art in today’s school system.C. Students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons.D. The school committee completely influences students’attitude towards the arts.27. We can learn that music and art can ________.A. motivate students in creativity and expressionB. make students round-shaped people in futureC. provide students with analytical thinkingD. prevent students graduation from high school28. The best title of the passage can be ________.A. Who killed music and drama?B. Can curriculum go without music?C. Why is music so important?D. How to prepare for the real world?参考答案B篇25-28 BBABCFor more than 40 years, scientists have sought to learn how well human beings can adapt to long periods in space. The International Space Station continues to provide valuable knowledge about spaceflight. But an earlier space station, Skylab, helped make the current space project possible.Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield sang aboard the International Space Station on May 12, 2021. His music video has become extremely popular. The astronaut played his own version of David Bowie’s song Space Oddity. He performed while floating weightlessly, with images of planet earth and space appearing in the window behind him.Chris Hadfield recently returned home after nearly five months on the space station. For him, the long flight produced a hit video on YouTube and no major physical problems. But 40 years ago, scientists did not know how humans would react to long-term spaceflight. To find out, NASA, the American space agency, launched Skylab in May, 1973. Over nearly a year, three teams of astronauts visited Skylab for stays of between 28 to 84 days. They learned how people react to extended periods in space.Gerald C arr commanded Skylab 4. He spoke at a NASA event marking the 40th anniversary of Skylab’s launch. He said that the loss of the body’s muscle mass was a main concern. Astronauts on Skylab used exercise equipment to stay strong. The astronauts spent their workdays carrying out experiments, including biomedical (生物医学的) research.Marshall Porterfield is the director of NASA’s Space Life and Physical Sciences Division. He says the Skylab astronauts’ understanding of their own ability to deal with long-term spaceflight continues to help current astronauts. NASA says the next step for life away from Earth is a year-long space station mission, set for 2021.29. Why was Chris Hadfield’s song so special?A. It was performed in space.B. It was created by an astronaut.C. It was a very familiar song.D. It was first sung by a famous singer.30. Which of the following best describes the physical condition of Chris Hadfield after his return?A. Worse.B. Better.C. Normal.D. Weaker.31. For what purpose did NASA launch Skylab?A. To research on whether human beings could stay in space.B. To gather up information on setting up a space station.C. To study the changes in the body when staying long in space.D. To find out the possibility of doing experiments in space.32. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Skylab is still in use to explore the space.B. The research results on Skylab are still valuable.C. Skylab is more advanced than the International Space Station.D. The Skylab astronauts made great contributions to biomedical research.参考答案C篇29-32 ACCBDSuppose you are thinking about attending college in the United States, but perhaps you might not be ready for a university with a four-year program. About 88,000 international students have found solution. They are attending U.S. community colleges. Such colleges are sometimes called junior colleges. They offer two years of education above the secondary or high school level.Community college students can choose from subjects like medical assistance, computer science or law. At the end of their study program, they receive a document of completion, called a certificate. Some students work toward an associate degree in traditional academic subjects like science or history. After getting it, the students can move on to a four-year college or university. They may have only two years of study left before they receive a bach elor’s degree.Many educational experts agree that saving money is the major reason to consider a community college. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) says that a public two-year college costs 3,000 dollar a year on average. That is true if the student lives in the same state as the school. A student at a four-year public college maypay 8,500 dollars a year for classes and user fees. That does not include books and other materials.Some international students may need more preparation in English before entering a community college in the United States. For example, Istrif Montgomery came to the U.S. from Kosovo in 2006. First, he worked to improve his English at Montgomery College for a year. Then for the next two years, he attended classes in basic subjects in a community college.The international students at two-year colleges need to find a place to live. Most community colleges do not provide student housing on their grounds. But Mr Montgomery had a home nearby. He was able to ride the bicycle, and he was able to walk if he wanted. In fact, most community college students live within five to ten miles off the college.33. What’s the biggest advantage of a community college?A. The classes are free of charge.B. The students can save much time.C. The students can save a lot of money.D. It is convenient for students to live in the college.34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Mr Montgomery usually goes to school on foot.B. Most students i n community colleges don’t live far away.C. 8,500 dollars covers all the cost of a four-year public college.D. International students often attend a community college directly.35. What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To encourage students to study abroad.B. To tell the international students how to save money.C. To tell us it’s a good choice to study in public colleges.D. To give some information about community colleges.参考答案D篇33-35 CBD。

size of a microwave oven,it's pedestrian-friendly,too,waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates,along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It's a library built with love.A year ago,shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization,a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of munity in a neighborhood by making books freely available,she announced to her family of four,“That's what we're going to do for our spring break!"Son Austin,now a 10th-grader,didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.But Janey insisted.andhusband Peter unwillingly got to work.The 5-year-old owner of a ship supply pany modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses,and made a door of glass.After adding the library's final touches(装点)，the family hung a signboard on the front ,instructing users to"take a book,return a book",and making the Henriksen library,now one several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2 500 in the world,the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20or so books they'd already read,a mix of science fiction,reference.titles,novels and kids' favorites."I told them,keep in mind that you might not see it again,"said Janey,a stay-at-home mom.Since then,the collection keeps replenishing(补充)itself,thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project's best payoff,says Peter,are the thank-you notes left behind."We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular."24.Janey got the idea to build a library from______.A.a visit to Brian WilliamsB.a spring break with her familyC.a book sent by one of her neighborsD.a report on a Wisconsin-based organization25.The library was built______.A.by a ship supply panyB.on the basis of toy horsesC.like a mailboxD.with glass26.What can we infer

passage tells us that the users______.A.donate books to the libraryB.get paid to collect books for the libraryC receive thank-you notes for using the libraryD visit the library over 5 times on average

He believes that physical appearance is often culturally. The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often e to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently.In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgi A.People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than do people in small towns.1.Ray Bird whistle believes physical appearanceA.has little to do with culture.B.has much to do with culture.C.is ever changing.D.is different from place to place2.According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formedA.before birth.B.as soon as one's teeth are newly set.C.sometime after new teeth are set.D.around 15 years old.3.Ray Bird whistle can tell what area of the United States a person is from byA.how much he or she smiles.B.how he or she raises his or her eyebrows.C.what he or she likes best.D.the way he or she talks.4.People who live ______ are more friendlyA.in largely populated areasB.in New York cityC.in the countryD.in the North5.This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing withA.physicsB.chemistryC.biologyD.none of the above答案：BBACD高考英语阅读理解专项练习及答案 3centuryWhy was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense.Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison.It was not an ordinary prison to punish mon crimes.Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King The Bastilles workings were secret.Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles.Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall NO talking was allowed Worst of all，a prisoner never knew if he would bethere a day，a week，a year，or forever.Only the Kings letter could set him freeOver the years the number of arrests by King’S letter had e fewer.By the time of its fall.most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions(贪财腐朽)of the government Voltaire，the famous French writer，spent a year there in 1717～1718，and another 12 days in 1726. For those who believed in free speech and free thinking，the Bastille stood for everything evil.The day it was captured，only seven prisoners were found inside.Still，the Bastille was hated by the people It was a symbol of the Kings plete power.36.The Bastille had been a prison ____A.since the time of Charles VB.since 1370C.before the seventeenth centuryD.since血e time of Cardinal Richelieu37.According to the passage，which of the following statements is FALSE?

Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back.doubts like these can make US feel bad.But when we look back.Its too lateWhy do we go wrong about our friends-or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.And if we dont really listen，we miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose someone tells you.‘‘youre a lucky dog”.Is he really on your side? if he says.“Youre a lucky guy”or“You’re a lucky gal”.Thats being friendly.But“lucky dog”?Theres a bit of envy in those words Maybe he doesnt see it himself.But bringing in the‘‘dog”bit puts you down a little.What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)?The look in his eyes? Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake31.From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker _____A.feels happy，thinking of how nice his friends were to himB.feels he may not have“read” his friends’true feelings correctlyC.thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend，HelenD is sorry that his friends let him down32.In the second paragraph.the author uses the example of“Youre a lucky dog”to show that .A.the speaker of this sentence is just being friendlyB this saying means th e same as “Youre a lucky guy” or “Youre a lucky gal”C sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the wordsD.the word“dog”shouldnt be used to apply to people33.This passage tries to tell you how to ____。

It was the most important structure built by the Romans in Britain, and now it has been a World Heritage (遗产) Site. Built around AD 160, Arbeia Roman Fort was the military supply base for the soldiers who were stationed along Hadrian’s Wall. The fort has been gradually uncovered and some original parts have been revealed. There are reconstructions that show how Arbeia Roman Fort would have looked.The ReconstructionsThe reconstructions of the Commanding Officer’s house and soldiers’ quarters are strikingly different. The accommodation for soldiers is dark and uncomfortable, while the Commanding Officer’s house is spacious and luxurious, with courtyards with fountains for him and his family to enjoy.The MuseumVisit the museum and see many objects that were found at Arbeia. They are historically important and show what daily life was really like at that time. You will see weapons, tools, jewellery, and so on. You can also discover how the Romans buried their dead and see tombstones (墓碑) which survive to this day. There is a “hands-on” area allowing visitors to dig on a certain site and study their findings with the help of museum staff.

On November 1.D. On December 26.BYou know that old saying that laughter is the best medicine. Well, studies have long shown that laughter can have a positive effect both physically and emotionally. In South Korea, a nation more used to holding back its emotions, at least one hospital is encouraging patients to let loose on their regular basis.Laughing, for those cancer patients and their families, is a weekly exercise at Seoul National University hospital. It is something that does not come easy for them, but an hour of laughter therapy (疗法）is all it takes to fight depression that often follows chemical treatment. Lim Song Li, a therapist at the hospital, was once a depression patient herself. She now is a laughter therapist and says when you laugh, blood vessels expand,and sugar levels drop, producing an abundance of hormones (激素）linked with happiness and pleasure. But in Korean culture,where Confucian tradition dominates(主导）social behavior,laughing is not a nature thing. Korean men are taught not to cry more than three times in their lifetime. And the sound of a Korean woman's laughter should not be heard outside the fence of her home. But inside this hospital,they are letting it out. By the end of the session, they make belief laughs somehow become their own.If laughing requires effort,more natural to Koreans, it is singing. The sing-song star therapist, famous for her therapy sessions to fight housewife depression,Jeong Ji Song says singing is an easier way to express inner feelings,especially for Korean women brought up in the conservative background. For some,these classes can be a stress-management tool,but for many more who suffer from depression, learning to sing out their heart can be a healing process.It not only helped Ying Seung Woo come out of severe depression, but also presented her with a new career. After taking up singing therapy, she found a talent in herself-cheer-leading. And now she is taking courses to become a certified therapist.24.The author mentions South Korea to show.A．there are few people suffering from depression in South KoreaB．laughter has a positive influence on Korean women' s healthC．people in South Korea are used to expressing their inner feelingsD．people in South Korea have attempted to use laughter therapy25.

Laughing is not allowed in the Korean tradition.26. What does the underlined word “healing” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Curing. B．Controlling. C．Suffering. D．Fighting.CAs doctors and nurses struggle for medical supplies to fight coronavirus pandemic,help is coming from an unlikely place﹣high school students. The Careen Technical Education Charter High Scholl（CTEC）,US,has been using its nine 3D printers to make face masks for healthcare workers on the frontline.Face masks have been particularly challenging to find across the US since the outbreak Valerie Castro,16, a CTEC student,is part of a team of teachers and students who came up with improvement that cut almost 30 minutes off the time it takes to build a face mask."That's what makes this school kind of different. " Gavin Newsom, Governor of the State of California, said. "Even though all these bad things are happening，we're able to make an impact positively. It's like leaving your little mark on the world. " Makerbot，a New York﹣based company that makes 3D printers, has also helped CTEC to maximize the building process. They've been churning out nearly 100 masks each day, and that production rate is set to be three times as 20 more 3D printers come online at the school.CTEC staff and students have provided masks to hospitals, dentists, urgent care centers and retirement homes in Fresno County and the surrounding areas in California. "I was shocked," Stacy V ohra told school staff in video. "We were so thrilled to have the donation from CTEC. This is something that we've been needing. ""The entire staff has switched from daily teaching to face mask production，" said Jonathan Delano, director of CTEC. "When the new 3D printers arrive, some of them will go to students' houses so kids can help with the hands ﹣on process. ""That's how we get through these things, " Delano said. "Our high school focuses on giving back to society. Students should know the skills they hold can have an impact on a community. "27．What can we learn from the passage?A. High School students are expected to help make face masks in the U. S.B. Valeria alone helps speed up the production of 3D face masks in CTEC.C. The act of the students in CTEC is highly thought of by Gavin.D. Makerbot helps CTEC to build a factory for making 3D face masks.28．What does the underlined phrase "churning out" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. producing massiveB. selling quicklyC. importing legallyD. exchanging equally29．How do people feel to receive the donation from CTEC?A.

Teenagers helped design face masks.B. 3D printing technology was used to produce face masks.C．A high school made donations to fight the pandemic.D. A high school made contributions by producing 3D face masks.三、七选五If you’re tired of freestyle walking programs, you may be interested in leaming how to racewalk. Or you want to pick up speed. Or maybe you have a desire for competition. 31．, racewalking is a good choice for you.As you begin to racewalk, it is important to concentrate more on movement than on speed. Speed will come later, as you master the movement skills of racewalking. And you can begin to increase your speed once you feel comfortable with the actions of racewalking. Be sure, however, to increase your speed gradually. 32．.Racewalking can increase your walking exercise. You can experience this in person. Try walking as fast as you can, and youll feel your body eager to jog. 33．, you have to keep one foot on the ground at all times. While you are jogging, both feet are off the ground at some point, which allows you to cover more distance with one step. So in order to cover the same distance, you have to take more steps than you would if you were jogging.34．.

If you ignore these steps, you may suffer muscle pain and even injury.A．No matter what the reason isB．In order to walk at high speedsC．The same is true after each exerciseD．Always keep safety in mind when racewalkingE.In order to continue walking and not to break into a jogF.Don’t push too hard or walk to the point of being tired outG.It is more efficient to warm up your body before exercise四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
高考英语阅读理解训练附参考答案
高考英语阅读理解训练附参考答案高考英语阅读理解训练1：Life in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window.These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach.Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch.Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone.They never touch anything unless theyre eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass.How does an animal become seethrough? Its trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light.Light typically travels in a straight line.But some materials slow and scatter(散射)light, bouncing it away from its original path.Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks.Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesnt absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping.Thatmeans a transparent object doesnt look very different from the surrounding air or water.You dont see it—you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light.But a transparent animal doesnt have pigments, so its tissues wont absorb light.According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy.The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials—skin, fat, and more —and light moves through each at a different speed.Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters.Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering.Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat.Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be seethrough.Others build a large, clear mass of nonliving jellylike(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it.Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does.They need to look uniform.But how theyre doing it is still unknown.One thing is clear：for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process.When they die, they turn a nontransparent milky white.*大意：你见过透明生物吗?*介绍了透明的海洋生物。
