福建省英语高考复习记叙文阅读理解训练5（含答案解析）1Imagine someone who has spent the majority of their life sitting with a sign on the side of the road and that very person giving someone their last 20 dollars. That’s exactly what Marine Corps veteran (退伍军人）Johnny Bobbitt，34，did in October in Philadelphia.Bobbitt served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a paramedic (医务辅助人员）in Vance County, N. C. before he became homeless. Nobody knew how he got to where he was because he was discreet about that.One night in October, Bobbitt was sitting roadside with a sign in Philadelphia as usual, when Kate McClure of Florence Township, N. J. was driving home down Interstate 95 and ran out of gas. Scared and nervous, she got out of the car to head to the nearest gas station. As McClure was heading to the nearest gas station, she ran into Bobbitt and he told her to get back in the vehicle and lock the door. Minutes later, he appeared with a red gas can. He’d used his last $20 to buy her gas.After that unexpected meeting, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, who both live in New Jersey, visited Bobbitt several times to deliver gift cards, cash, snacks and toiletries. They then decided to create a fund raising page so he wouldn't have to spend the holidays sleeping on the street.McClure started the GoFundMe page on November 10. With the page, the couple hoped to raise $10,000, enough money for his rent, a reliable vehicle and up to six months ’ expenses. Bobbitt's story ran in a local paper. By November 15，more than 10,000 local people had made donations through the GoFundMe page and more than $300,000 had been raised.On Thanksgiving，Bobbitt was resting in a hotel，his feet up on the bed，drawing up a grand plan for his new life, thanks to several thousand dollars raised to repay him for a good deed.1. What does the underlined word “discreet” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Doubtful.B. Cautious.C.Guilty.D. Optimistic.2. McClure met Bobbitt when she .A.couldn't find a gas stationB.got to the way homeC.couldn't unlock her carD.was in search of gas3. It can be known from the text that .A. Bobbitt’s story obtained wide attentionB. Bobbitt became world-famous overnightC. the GoFundMe page collected over $400,000 for BobbittD. the GoFundMe page was started to help people like Bobbitt4. What is the best title for the text?A. A Homeless Veteran Paid Kindness ForwardB. A Homeless Veteran Had a Generous HeartC. A Homeless Veteran’s Kindness Paid OffD.A Small Kindness Made a Big Difference答案:1-4 BDAC2Gitanjali Rao, Colorado teenager who invented mobile device to test for lead（铅）in drinking water, was Time’s Kid of the Year for 2020. The magazine announced the award on Thursday, citing Rao’s ability to apply scientific ideas to real-world problems-and her desire to motivate other kids to take up their own causes.It was just the latest recognition for Rao, 15, who was named last year to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. She won praise in 2017 after she responded to the water crisis in Flint，Michigan，by creating a device named Tehys, using carbon nanotube sensors to detect（探测）lead in water. The Lone Tree, Colo., native was named America’s Top Young Scientist when she was in the seventh grade. She went on to cooperate with scientists in the water industry to try to get the device on the market.More recently, Rao has developed a phone and Web tool named Kindly, which uses artificial intelligence technology to detect possible early signs of cyberbullying（网络欺凌）.“You type in a word or phrase, and it’ s able to pick it up if it’s bullying, and it gives you the choice to edit it or send it the way it is,” Rao told Time. “The goal is not to punish people. As a teenager I know teenagers tend to become very angry sometimes. Instead, it gives you the chance to rethink what you’re saying so that you know what to do next time around.”Rao was chosen in part because of the way she has followed up her technical work with efforts to get other young people to work on solving the problems they see.“I don’t look like your typical scientist. Everything I see on TV is that it’s an older, usually white man as a scientist，” she told Time. “My goal has really shifted，not only from creating my own devices to solve the world’s problems, but inspiring others to do the same as well. So I really want to put out that message: If I can do it, you can do it, and anyone can do it.”5.What made Gitaniali Rao Time’s Kid of the Year for 2020?A. Her desire to guide other kids.B. Her invention of testing lead in water.C. Her idea of making devices commercial.D. Her excellent personal ability and desire to encourage other children.6. What is the function of Rao’s Web tool “Kindly”?A. To make sure the security of the network.B. To punish teenagers’ wrong thoughts.C. To use artificial intelligence technology.D. To type a word or phrase on the Internet.7.Why did Rao say “anyone can do it” in the last paragraph?A. A white man can work as a scientist.B. We ought to set a goal at an early age.C. We are supposed to inspire others to do the same.D. Everybody may succeed in solving world’s problems.8. In which section of newspaper may this text appear？A. Health.B. Science.C. PeopleD. Entertainment.答案：5-8 DADC5.D【解析】细节理解题。

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。
Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的) resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin－offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproducts(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.1．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?A．To express his doubts.B．To compare different ideas.C．To introduce points for discussion.D．To describe the conditions on Earth.2．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?A．Humans are nature－born to do so.B．Humans have the tendency to fight.C．Humans may find new sources of food.D．Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.3．The underlined word “spin－offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.A．survival chances B．potential resourcesC．unexpected benefits D．physical possessions4．What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?A．Our genetic makeup.B．Resources on the earth.C．The adaptive ability of humans.D．Byproducts in space exploration.[解题导语] 本文是一篇谈论文，向我们阐述了人类进行太空探究的缘由。

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。

2022高考英语黄冈市(阅读理解练习05)(解析)
2022高考英语黄冈市（阅读理解练习05）（解析）JThe Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our own childhood.Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immediately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time the head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everything in the Child ego state is negative. We might go into someone’s house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandmo ther’s house when we were little, and all the same warm feelings we had at six years of age may come flooding back.The Child ego states are constantly being updated. For example, we may meet someone who gives us the permission we needed as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may well use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to resist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask ourselves “I wonder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new permissions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then return to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterwards, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we automatically start to give ourselves new permissions and take care of ourselves. Alternatively, we might have had an extremely unpleasant experience yesterday which goes into the Child ego state as an antique memory that stands in the way of our growth. Positive experiences will also go into the Child ego state as antique memories. The positive experiences can then be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen.The process of analyzing personality in terms of ego states is called structural analysis. It is important to remember that ego states do not have an existence of their own. They are concepts to enable understanding. Therefore it is important to say “I want some fun” rather than “My Child wants some fun.” We may be in our Child ego state when we say this, but saying “I” reminds us to take responsibility for our actions.1. The writer uses two examples in Paragraph 2 in order to _____.A. prove the Child ego state is negativeB. explain why we become nervousC. support the idea in Paragraph 1D. introduce the point of Paragraph 32. By asking “I wonder what X would say now”, we intend to __________.A. blame ourselvesB. avoid stressC. keep up with everythingD. accept challenges3. According to the passage, the Child ego state __________.A. exists in one’s childhoodB. shows one’s wisdomC. limits one’s thoughtsD. influences one’s actions4. The underlined word “this” in the l ast paragraph refers to __________.A. “I want some fun”B. “My Child wants some fun”C. the Child ego stateD. structural analysis答案：J CBDA*************************************************************终止Ⅲ.阅读明白得(每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下面的文章，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Packaging (包装) is the silent but persuading salesman.There on the shelves，each bottle，can，box，and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to t he inner self of the consumer(消费者)，because he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life .Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” o f the product and on how well it sells，because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product a nd its package.Many products are packages and many packag es are products”，as Louis Cheskin，the first social scientist studying consumers’ feelings for packag ing，noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging.Studies of eye mo vement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly.T ake V8 for example.For many years，the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle m akes you feel that it is very good for your body.And the word “gr een” today can keep food prices going up.Shapes are another attraction.Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness，because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the hea rt.That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are invitin g to both young and old.This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.1.

2014高考英语阅读理解精英系列练习题（5）及答案阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)【广东省汕头市第四中学2013阶段性联合考试】A Philip was a nine-year-old boy in a Sunday school class of 8-year-old girls and boys. Sometimes the third graders didn’t welcome Philip into their group and usually tricked him. This was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downs’s Syndrome. This made him “different”, with his facial characteristics, slow responses and mental problems.One Sunday after Easter, the Sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. The teacher gave one to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs.After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another was a butterfly…. When the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “That’s stupid,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “It’s mine. I did it. It’s empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was hea rd in class at all. From that day on, Philip became a real part of the group. They welcomed him, and whatever made him different was never mentioned again.26.

"I don't think such a business exists yet, but theoretically（理论上）it's very possible. And companies are moving in this direction."So, scientists are now looking for new ways to make fabrics for clothes that are good both for your image and for Earth.In the past few years, textile scientist Yiqi Yang of the University of Nebraska in Lincoln has figured out how to make yarn out of cornhusks, chicken feathers, and rice straw (part of the rice plant). All three are agricultural by-products that usually end up in the trash."We already have a problem with how to get rid of these waste products," Yang says. "Instead, let's use them to make beautiful materials."The process involves chemical reactions that break down the raw materials into fibers（光纤）, followed by cleaning. The scientists then spin the fibers into yarn（纱线）, which they use to make fabrics.⑦Clothes made from farm waste are still years away from hitting the stores, but clothes made from organic or recycled fabrics and products made from coconut, bamboo, and corn sugar are already available in many places.Simply by choosing carefully how you get dressed in the morning, you can help decide Earth's future.1.

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案(5)
The fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It
indicates(=shows) the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.
Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.
This characteristic (特性) probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab.
The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was cought!
