最新高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)试题(有答案和解析)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1.阅读理解When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we didn't always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children's Library. My 18-imonth-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people don't understand-a library is more than books; it's a community.Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. But it was also the place where I got my first email address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled(咯咯笑)too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasn't a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered me my first teaching job.I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually(虚拟地)visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can't always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.(1)Why does the author consider herself lucky today?A. She has become her mother's best friend.B. She has access to a reliable car now.C. She can meet friends at the library.D. She lives close to libraries.(2)What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Socializing in a library.B. Reading books in a library.C. Visiting a library with a family member.D. Building parent-child friendship in a library.(3)What is the author's attitude to her students' way of visiting libraries?A. Cautious.B. Favorable.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.(4)Why does the author write the text?A. To discuss why libraries are important.B. To express her deep love for libraries.C. To explain how libraries change.D. To introduce her favorite libraries.【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)B(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了从自己小时候到成家生子再到工作教书这一路上图书馆的变化。

(1)考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“Today,I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children's Library.”可知,现在,我很幸运地住在格伦黑德的冷海岸公共图书馆附近,走一小段路就可以到海崖儿童图书馆,由此可知,作者认为自己很幸运是因为她住得离图书馆很近,故选D。

(2)考查词义猜测。

根据第二段中的“My 18-imonth-old son,Colin,and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week,meeting and making friends.”可知,我和18个月大的儿子科林每周都要去几次海崖图书馆,在那里见面、交朋友,这是一种社交活动,画线词指代的就是“在图书馆社交”,故选A。

(3)考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“Even though they can't always easily visit their local libraries,the library is always with them.”可知,尽管学生们不能总是很容易地参观当地的图书馆,但图书馆总是与他们在一起,由此可知,作者对学生们访问虚拟图书馆的方式是支持的,故选B。

(4)考查推理判断。

纵观全文可知,作者讲述了从自己小时候到成家生子再到工作教书这一路上图书馆所发生的变化,由此可知,作者写这篇文章是为了解释图书馆的变化,故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,并根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,从而选出正确答案。

Their twins-a girl and a boy-were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live."I saw him gasp (喘息), but the doctor said it was no use," Kate told the Daily Mail five years later.

They also talked to him."We were trying to persuade him to stay," Kate told the Daily Mail.

He thinks that Chinese people are kind, welcoming and diverse.Back from his bike ride to southeastern Beijing, he decided to shoot pictures about ordinary urban lifestyles. He observed dwellers carefully and made friends with them.After about 30 days and nights that he spent with these common migrants, he created a number of portraits.

American professional athlete Colin O'Brady and British Army Captain Louis Rudd set off a mile apart at the same time on November 3, 2018, from the Atlantic coast with the aim to become the first person to ski across the remote continent alone.Louis Rudd maintained the lead at first. However, O'Brady caught up with Rudd on November10 and never let the British man get close to him again. O'Brady was the first to conquer the 930 mile icy land, arriving at the Ross Ice Shelf on the Pacific coast by way of the South Pole on December 26, 2018. The 33-year-old spent 54 days skiing the world's coldest continent while pulling a 300-pound sled(雪橇) with supplies.Instead of leaving the harsh environment after completing the historic adventure, the explorer set up a tent on the world's largest ice sheet and waited patiently for Rudd to complete the great undertaking. On December 29, just three days after O'Brady arrived, the British explorer finished his adventure, becoming the world's second person to complete the solo crossing of the frozen continent.Rudd was not disappointed at being second since he never considered it to be a "race". Besides, the 49-year-old British Army Captain had a more selfless motive for attempting the feat. He was doing it in memory of his friend Henry Worsley, who had introduced him to polar exploration. The disaster happened while Worsley was trying to cross the continent alone in 2016. Rudd said, "I didn't want to get drawn into a race. All that mattered to me was that I completed it, and that I skied solo and unsupported, carrying the flag with Henry's name on it."After spending a few days camping 10 feet away from each other, the two adventurers were picked up by a helicopter to the South Pole scientific research station.(1)What do Colin O'Brady and Louis Rudd have in common?A. They became the first explorers to cross Antarctica alone, unaided.B. They became the first adventurers to ski across Antarctica.C. This is the first time that they have arrived at the South pole.D. They crossed Antarctica in honor of their friend Henry Worsley.(2)What do you know about the first leg(第一段賽程) of the race?A. O'Brady skied along with Louis Rudd side by side.B. O'Brady's sled with food supplies broke down.C. Louis Rudd lost the tag with Henry's name on it.D. O'Brady fell behind Louis Rudd for the first week.(3)What can we infer about Henry Worsley?A. He used to encourage O' Brady to explore the Antarctic.B. He lost his life in a terrible traffic accident in 2016.C. He died while he was attempting to cross the Antarctic alone.D. He helped Louis Rudd complete the historic adventure.(4)How did the two adventurers return to the South Pole scientific research station? A. On foot. B. By air. C. By land. D. By water.【答案】(1)A(2)D(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,两个冒险家在无人帮助的情况下独自滑雪穿越南极大陆,但是两个人的目的不同。

Gremel was able to make this amazing donation because he purchased $1,000 worth of Walgreens stock seven decades ago whose value has grown recently."A single man with no kids, Gremel has lived in the same Chicago house for 95 years, and has always lived simply", neighbor Patrick Falso told TODAY. Falso said he heard Gremel say many times the "money wasn't mine to begin with" and that he always intended to give it away.The Gremel Wildlife shelter was founded on June 4. Illinois Audubon Society president Jim Herkert said Gremel's donation was extremely generous. "It's allowing us to protect a really valuable and important possession and realize one of Gremel's wishes that we could find a place where people could come out and experience nature the way he did as a kid," Herkert told TODAY.After doing all this, this past weekend, Gremel adopted an old Chihuahua(吉娃娃犬). Winnie the dog was picked up as a homeless dog several months ago. She suffered from a kind of cancer, which was treated—and all she needed was a loving home, which Colleen Collins, the founder of Perfect Pooches Adoption Agency, was determined to find.Gremel had lost his own beloved Chihuahua earlier this year. When he reached out to Collins about Winnie, she felt this could be a good match. That feeling grew when she brought Winnie to his house for a meet and greet, and Winnie was introduced not only to Gremel but also some of his friends and neighbors. One had brought over a lot of fresh strawberries; all said they'd be there to help out in any way needed.(1)Patrick Falso is mentioned in the text mainly to explain _________.A. how Gremel earned the moneyB. what kind of person Gremel isC. why Gremel made the donationD. where Gremel has been living(2)What can we learn about Russ Gremel from the text?A.

I love having beautiful flowers-but I don't have a good track record when it comes to making them grow.A few months after our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs (郁金香球茎). She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring. ''When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you'll know that it's almost time for your son to come home. They'll give you what you need most.'' She walked me through the process of planting them. I thanked her — trying to show my gratitude for her gift.It was a long winter — cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.Day after day I noted the flowers' progress. And day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. Now with spring just around the corner, nothing could keep either of us from marching toward the light. Almost all of those bulbs bloomed. And with each brightly colored flower, I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again.(1)What can we know about the author?A.She is a professional gardener.B.She is not good at growing flowers.C.She never plants flowers at home.D.She often sends friends flowers as gifts.(2)Why did the writer forget the tulip bulbs soon?A.The bitter winter reminded her of her son far away.B.She was discouraged from making another attempt.C.They failed to live through the cold and long winter.D.She had no hope for beautiful flowers indeed.(3)What were those flowers mentioned in the last paragraph referred to?A.A physical representation of the hope.B.Things deep inside her heart and soul.C.A lesson she will never forget completely.D.The trouble she had in making them come out.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A.A dark winter with hope.B.Planting hope in winter.C.An area of green in spring.D.Living a changeable life.【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)A(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者的儿子去了中东,作者感到孤独和寂寞。
