On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童)was walking around the shining car. "Is this your car, Paul?" he asked.Paul answered, "Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was surprised. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything. Boy, I wish..."He hesitated (犹豫).Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly."I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again; "Would you like to take a ride in my car?" "Oh, yes, I'd love that." After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, "Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?"Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled ( 残疾 ) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car."There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it. Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about."Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.67. The street urchin was very surprised when______________ .A.

An Unforgettable Holiday Ride参考答案------67---B A D B CWhen an earthquake hit a small town，many houses fell down. After the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.One Sunday，when I was reading a newspaper，a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chanceto teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my sevenyearold twins，Brad and Brett，and threeyearold Meghan，“We have so much，and these poor people now have nothing. We’ll share what we have with them.”I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this，I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy，her muchloved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. “Oh，dear，”I said. “You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said，“Lucy makes me happy，Mommy. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It’s easy to give something that we don’t want any more，but hard to give what we cherish(珍爱)，isn’t it?72. The writer has ________ children.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four73. The underlined word “donate” probably means “________”.A. 捐赠B. 丢掉C. 展出D. 放好74. Lucy is the name of ________.A. a girlB. a gameC. a dollD. an earthquake75. Which of the following is true?A. An earthquake happened in the writer’s hometown.B. The w riter let Meghan give her muchloved doll.C. The writer decided to buy some clothes for those people in trouble.D. The writer thinks it is more difficult to give what we love a lot.参考答案------72—75、C A C D(2012·太原调研)If it really is what's on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn't surely mean you are not fat”， said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College.Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside.Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat.Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat.They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat.Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病)．They want to prove that internal fat damages the body's communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet.“If you want to be hea lthy, there is no shortcut.Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle，” Bell said.文章大意：研究发现，表面瘦的人，内脏不一定不胖。
高考英语阅读理解练习4篇(附解析)
Some people are so rude!Who sends an email or a text message that just says “Thank you”Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello. Email, too, is slower than a text. V oice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mail？” my sister asked. “Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask onceacceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thankyou email.How to handle these differing standards? Easy. Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thankyou message. Others, like me, want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but thattimewasting forms of communication do.1．What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?A．Worried.B．Surprised.C．Annoyed.D．Tired.2．Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?A．He liked text messages better.B．He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C．He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.D．He didn’t want to talk with his father.3．Which of the following does the writer agree to?A．People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.B．Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C．People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.D．Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.4．What’s the best title for this passage?A．Nowadays: what should we do with text messages?B．Nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice message?C．Nowadays: what means should we use in communication?D．Nowadays: do you need a thankyou message?I love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.But a big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often I'm smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep，we may run over the day in our minds，and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV，read the news on our smart phones or tablets，or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming(宣告)all the good that's happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we're still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but，with the odd exception，I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it's something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating，when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up a trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure I get a peaceful night's sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I'd suggest you find lighthearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime，especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time，or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh，then you may feel even better.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain，it strengthens the immune system，it's good for the heart，and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons，I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.5．What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A．They make people run over the past days.B．They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C．They are extremely popular with young people.D．They make people feel relaxed and happy.6．What can we know from the text?A．Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author's favorite books.B．A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C．The author sometimes reads something about inspirations.D．Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.7．What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A．What material brings us laughter.B．How laughter affects our health.C．What benefits laughter brings to us.D．Why laughter is good for us.8．What's the main purpose of the text?A．To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B．To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C．To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D．To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.Notice：Medical Alert(警报)Dear Readers，Medical related emergencies are on the rise with more old people living alone.

A few athletes were already stretching their arms, but most of us could barely focus. As I was burning off last night's wrong decision—a big meal, I spotted a poster about a gym's 21-day workout challenge, and I immediately signed up. I always wanted to train for a marathon, so I considered this as my warm-up. Besides, I needed to stop being lazy and this was my chance to make a change.It was easy to promise on paper, but three weeks of recommended exercise routines and diet restrictions wouldn't be easy. I stuck to working out 30 minutes a day, and I didn't disturb my normal routine. Instead, I had to be faced with the tough work of being more creative in my spare time, thus breaking some bad habits.Overcoming weaknesses with willpower was my goal for the next part of the journey. But the difficult part about making a challenge is realizing that “wanting" and “doing" are two very different things. Just like a career, you have to physically work for it rather than just wait for it to happen. But that's hard. Throughout the 21 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising. However, finally I overcame that negative thought and kept working out.At the end of the challenge, I learned something even more important: Feeling the results is better than seeing them. I had fewer headaches and more energy, and was simply happier. I even felt a little smarter as I researched which foods were better for my body, and learned how to make healthier meals. I felt a sense of accomplishment, too, because even though I wanted to give up dozens of times, I didn't. I felt my waist got smaller and my arms got stronger, and I no longer felt guilty after having a piece of cake or a drink.24. What was the author's wrong decision?A. Going to the gym early.B. Training for a marathon.C. Eating a lot the previous night.D. Stopping being lazy for a change.25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Some of the author's bad habits.B. Some ways of the author's killing his spare time.C. The importance of sticking to the normal daily routine.D. The difficulty of the author's keeping on with the workout plan.26. What does the underlined word “sabotage" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Prevent.B. Hear.C. Improve.D. Distinguish.27. What did the author learn from the workout challenge?A. Eating healthy food is more important than exercising.B. Overcoming a challenge could bring good feelings to him.C. It's more important to see what he likes than just feel it.D. There was no need to feel guilty about things he disliked to do.CA new study shows that air pollution can cause a huge reduction in our intelligence. The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States.The researchers reported that long-term exposure to air pollution can affect a person's mental abilities in two areas: Language and math.The researchers studied about 25,000 people from across China. Between 2010 and 2014, these Chinese men, women and children were given language and math tests. Then researchers compared the test results with measurements of pollution in the air, namely nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide （二氧化硫）.Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing pollutedair can reduce a person's education level by about one year.Chen said that the effect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education.“The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite amazingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.He noted that the youngest people in the study were 10 years old, while the oldest was 90 years old. They came from China's 33 provinces. In his words, the data and facts are convincing and this range of ages and locations across the country provided a real, objective and representative sample.The researchers noted that the effect of air pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution orhumans will face a bad situation.28. What is the result of the study?A. Air pollution has a bad effect on people's intelligence.B. Females are more affected by air pollution than males.C. Americans are more affected by air pollution than Chinese.D. People working indoors are actually not affected by air pollution.29. What did Chen say about the study?A. It is doubtful.B. It is extremely unfair.C. It is common and not representative.D. It is relatively objective and persuasive.30. What did the researchers emphasize in the last paragraph?A. The data from the 33 provinces is convincing.B. The whole world should pay attention to air pollution.C. The less educated take more responsibility for air pollution.D. Air pollution's influence on verbal ability is less serious as people age.31. Where is the text most likely taken from?A. A life diary.B. A guidebook.C. A science magazine.D. A biography.DStories are shared in many ways. They are described in books and magazines. They are read around the campfire at night. They are randomly distributed from stand-alone booths. But what else?To revive （复兴）literature in the era of fast news and smartphone addiction, Short Edition, a French publisher of short-form literature, has set up more than 30 story dispensers （分发机）in the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices.Francis Ford Coppola, the film director and winemaker, liked the idea so much that he invested in the company and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco. Last month public libraries in some other cities announced they would be setting them up, too. There is one on the campus at Penn State. A few can be found in downtown West Palm Beach, Fla. And Short Edition plans to announce more, including at the Los Angeles International Airport.“Everything old is n ew again," said Andrew Nurkin, the director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, which is one of the libraries that set up the dispensers. “We want people to be easily exposed to literature. We want to advance literacy among children and inspire theircreativity.Here's how a dispenser works： It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one minute, three minutes or five minutes. When a button is pushed, a short story is printed. The stories are free. They are chosen from a computer category of more than 100,000 original submissions by writers whoseworks have been evaluated by Short Edition's judges, and transmitted over a mobile network. Offerings can be tailored to specific interests, like children's fiction or romance. Short Edition gets stories for its category by holding writing contests.Short Edition set up its first booth in 2016 and has 150 machines worldwide. “The idea is to make people happy," said Kristan Leroy, director of Short Edition, “There is too much unhappiness today. ”32. What do we know about the stories sent by dispensers?A. They are expensive.B. They are short in form.C. They can be read on smartphones.D. They are mainly taken from magazine literature.33. Where can you find the popularity of story dispensers in America?A. In paragraph 3.B. In paragraph 4.C. In paragraph 5.D. In paragraph 6.34. Which is the main purpose of setting up the dispensers according to Andrew Nurkin?A. To get rid of people's smartphone addiction.B. To reduce the financial stress of libraries.C. To make people have access to literature.D. To advertise the network literature.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: a Virtual TourB. Short Edition, a French PublisherC. Everything Old Will Be Popular AgainD. Taste of Literature, at the Push of a Button七选五（福建省厦门外国语学校2020届高三12月月考）It is sometimes thought that the longing for material goods, the need to buy things, is a relatively modern invention. 36 Trade or shopping is certainly an ancient desire, and existed before our ancestors invented writing, laws, cities or farming, even before they used metal to make tools.Humans are born to trade. 37 Evidence from hunter-gatherers suggests that the exchange of food and other necessary things comes naturally, as well as the ability to keep a record of the credits involved. And once trade begins, the benefits are hard to resist.Ancient local coastal people in northern Australia traded fish hooks, along a chain of trading partners, with people living 400 miles inland, who cut and polished local stone to make axes（斧子）. 38 Finally, both groups of "producers", by concentrating on things they could produce and exchanging them for other things they needed, benefited as a result.Trade in the necessities of life, such as food and simple tools, is not really surprising, considering the link between these basic items and survival. What is surprising, though, is that our taste for unnecessary expensive objects also goes back a long way.In South Africa, 100,000-year-old decorative dyes（染料）have been found in an area where none were produced. 39 Small round pieces of glass 76,000 years old were also found at the same place. The earliest jewellery known to us was not just random findings—they were grouped together in size and had holes like those used for threading onto a necklace.Archaeologists argue that trade prepared the way for the complex societies in which we live today. 40 However, their modern equivalents—fast cars and expensive clothes—hold the same attraction for us as "trade goods" did for people 100,000 years ago.A．And we don't need shops or money to do it.B．These are powerful proofs for cash purchase.C．In fact, its roots go back to the beginning of humanity.D．However, the first trade began from the exchange of objects.E．Modern-day shoppers may not be impressed by ancient glass pieces.F．It is thought that these goods were bought at least 30 kilometres away. G．Every individual along the chain made a profit, even if he produced neither himself.参考答案完形填空36-40 BABDA 41-45ADACD 46-50DBBCB 51-55DCBCD阅读理解21 -23 BDC 24 -27 CDAB 28 -31 ADBC 32-35 BACD七选五36-40 CAGFE。
专题05-高考英语真题分类拔高练习-阅读理解-社会生活类(原卷版)
高考英语真题【阅读理解】分类拔高练习05社会生活1.（2014·辽宁）阅读理解(Q = Question; A = Answer)Situation IQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move? A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time or an emergency? If so, you don't have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one. Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: No. Try other means.1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation IVQ: If I remember my friend's birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. "Happy belated birthday!" is short for: "Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday."Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A: Don't lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? "Yes," you can say if ever asked, "I saw it." No explanation is needed as to why you don't respond.（1）You will get annoyed in a theater when .A.a person is too activeB.a person is too rude to youC.a person talks too loudlyD.a person sits too close to you（2）How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A.By making fun of him continuously.B.By looking purposefully at him.C.By talking to him directly.D.By pointing angrily at him.（3）The underlined word "belated" in Situation IV probably means .A.predictedB.returnedC.cancelledD.delayed（4）What is the passage mainly about?A.Modern ways to mind your manners.B.Different ways to change others' manners.C.Proper manners to offer help to others.D.Good manners to talk to people.2.（2014·上海）阅读理解Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.Here's how it works:A habit is a 3-step process. First, there's a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there's a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own.Here's how to apply it:Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick. a reward-say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and thereward become interconnected. Finally, when you see the shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won't need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right?（1）Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP?A.Pick a new cue.B.Form a new habit.C.Choose a new reward.D.Design a new resolution.（2）According to THE HABIT LOOP, you can stick to your plan most effectively by______.A.changing the routineB.trying it for a weekC.adjusting your goalD.writing it down（3）What's the purpose of putting the habit loop to use?A.To test out different kinds of cues.B.To do something as a habit even without rewards.C.To work out the best New Year's resolution.D.To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards.（4）“This year when I see the Harry Potter post er, I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour." What is the cue in this resolution?A.The Harry Potter poster.B.Reading 30 pages of an English novel.C.An English newspaper.D.Watching TV for half an hour.3.（2014·重庆）阅读理解It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions（性情）, but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers toourselves. If we knew our own minds, why should we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually, we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.Moreover, we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character --- we infer characters that weren't there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in compliance（符合）with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: “We are what we pretend t o be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”（1）According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to _______.A.determine one's behaviorB.reflect one's tasteC.influence one's surroundingsD.result from one's habits（2）Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?A.The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty.B.A kind person will offer his seat to the old.C.One recycles plastics to protect the environment.D.One buys latte out of love of coffee.（3）What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?A.We fail to realize our inner dispositions.B.We can be influenced by outside pressures.C.Our behavior is the result of our true desires.D.Our characters can shape our social relationships.（4）What does the author mainly discusses in the passage?A.Personalities and attitudes.B.Preferences and habits.C.Behavior and personalities.D.Attitudes and preferences.4.（2014·北京）阅读理解MultitaskingWhat is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers' intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants' disproving attitude and don't touch what you can't afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this. Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.（1）According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A.Friendly assistant.B.Unique scents.C.Soft background musicD.attractive window display.（2）E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .A.as how the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB.urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC.push stores to use sights and soundsD.introduce the rise of e-commerce（3）The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _______ .A.a platform that exhibits goodsB.a spot where travelers like to stayC.a place where customers love to goD.a target that a store expects to meet（4）The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .pare and evaluateB.examine and assessC.argue and discussrm and explain。

解题技巧详解
考法1 ：原词重复信息
原词复现是指一个句子中的关键词(常为动词、名词、形容词)会 反复出现在文中的其他句子中。这些词会以不同词类、词性、数、 格、时态、语态等形式出现。如：“looks”与 “looking”“looked”；“go”与“going”“went”等。根据 语言习惯，第一句的宾语往往是第二句的主语，或者前后句有相 同、重叠的词语。因此，要学会寻找空格前后句句中的相同关键 词。

（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）及解析（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled wit h this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.（1）If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship（2）When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in （3）According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.（4）What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文，我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering(干涉) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance(机械修理，保养) as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results will be. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by seeking the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You can’t ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope.When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.1. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. The values are different between the old and the young.B. The moral problems raised by old people.C. The personal freedom for the old.D. Old people’s viewpoint on life.2. We can know from the first paragraph that________.A. Very old people would like to live alone to have more personal freedom.B. Very old people are able to keep their room clean.C. Very old people like to live with their children.D. Social services have nothing to do with very old people. 3. According to the author, which of the following is right?A. The older a person, the more care he needs.B. Too much emphasis has been put on old people’s values.C. The human body can’t be compared to a car.D. It is easy to provide spare parts for old people.4.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”.A. their money or their healthB. the conclusion you come toC. your talk to the old peopleD. whether age is happy or unpleasant【参考答案及解析】1.B 主旨大意题。

He used his pocket money to fund his first business project, website Mac Box Bundle at just 14 which has made £700,000 since its establishment in 2008.

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解全程巩固训练（5）及答案阅读理解-----D(2013·兰州市诊断，B)“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face”. A charming way of saying “Keep off the grass”. But could you figu re it out? Or this: “Wash Clothing Store” for laundry.They are both typical Chinglish, a combination of English vocab ulary and Chinese grammar. Expressions such as “people mou ntain people sea”， means extremely crowded, and “give you s ome color to see”， meaning a punishment, are widely known a nd recognized.Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as grows rapidly in stature on the world stage, attracting both fan s and detractors.The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and Englis h First China Company, a language trainer known as EF Educa tion, jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown . They argue Chinglish is an e mbarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs.“It is meaningful, to allow the capital show its most beautiful hist orical and cultural heritage to the world.” Michael Lu, vicepresid ent of EF Education said, “since the launching of the campaign, foreign teachers and students had been very keen to volunteer participation.” He believed signs were very important in public services. “The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visi tors.”Chinglish, although the target of much criticism, has also won s upporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to l earn how Chinese people think and express themselves.“Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enr ich the English language，” 32yearold Oliver Radtke said. He h ad even published a book “Chinglish: Found in Translation，” o n the subject.
