（英语）高三英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Mexico sites on an island plateau (高原) surrounded by volcanic peaks, which makes air quality a constant concern for people who live there.In April, the country took a decisive step toward improving air quality by enacting a temporary ban on private and Federal vehicles in the city. The rule forbids people from driving in the city one day each week and one Saturday each month. Electric vehicles, government service vehicles, public transport options and school buses are not included in the ban.Mexico City isn't the first urban center to be involved in car-free living. But the ban is more than an awareness-raiser. It was enacted with the direct aim of solving air pollution. In March, the city sank into a deep brown haze of smog when the pollution levels passed the 200 mark. The city ordered some 1.1m of the area's 4.7m cars off the streets and also offered free bus and subway rides.Mexico City's temporary vehicle ban raises questions about the best ways to improve urban air quality. India, whose citizens breathe some of the world's dirtiest air, has tried a variety of solutions. Earlier this year, the Indian government started a 4% sales tax on new-car purchases. Beijing also has experience with cleaning the air. The city introduced alternate-day rules in advance of the 2008 Olympic Games, which produced good results. And then there is the London congestion (拥挤) charge, introduced in 2003. The charge has had a measurable effect on air quality.For now, Mexico City — named by the United Nations as the most polluted city on the planet in 1992 — can look forward to the start of the region's rainy season, when daily showers will help lo clean the air.（1）How did Mexico ban vehicles in the city?A. By banning private and Federal vehicles one day a week.B. By forbidding private and public vehicles every Saturday.C. By limiting the number of new cars.D. By prohibiting the vehicles except public ones.（2）What did the government of Mexico do when carrying out the ban on vehicles?A. Raised the number of public vehicles.B. Offered free bus and subway rides.C. Introduced more travel options.D. Encouraged citizens to leave the city.（3）What may contribute to improving the air quality in Mexico?A. Alternate-day rules.B. Tax rises.C. Congestion charge.D. The rainy season.（4）What's the best title for the passage?A. Mexico —an Island PlateauB. A Variety of Bans on Vehicles in MexicoC. Should Cities Be Car-free ZonesD. How to Improve Air Quality【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，墨西哥墨西哥政府为了提高空气质量，在实施车辆禁令时提供免费巴士和地铁。
高考英语阅读理解综合题汇编及答案(1)
一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解If conditions get bad enough, almost any kind of weather can become a storm.Stormy weather can cause people to cancel their plans. It can cause major events to be postponed. And severe stormy weather can be dangerous to people, fortune and anima1.If you weather the storm, or ride out the storm, you survive and move on without harm or injury. For example, 1et's talk about Tornado Alley, the name for part of the central United States. During springtime, this area often has a large number of powerful tornadoes. People who live there are taught to shelter in the safest place they can find and wait for the storm to pass. People who live in Tornado Alley are used to weathering many storms!You can also weather a storm, but it does n't involve actual weather. “To weather the storm” can also mean to make it through a difficult experience or trying times. So, if the stock market(股市)crashes, you might have to weather a financial storm.Often before a big storm, conditions are calm. The calm before the storm can happen anytime. It is the time before something bad happens. For example, at the beginning of a family reunion, the adults were all talking happily. But the older children knew it was just the calm before the storm. They've seen it happen before. The adults talk happily for about an hour. Then they start arguing about events from the past—things that should really stay buried!But after the storm begins and you find yourself in the middle of it, you are in the eye of the storm. In the world of weather, the eye of the storm is the calmest part, in the center of a hurricane, for example. However, in the English language, if you are in the eye of the storm, you are in the most intense part of a conflict. For example, she had no idea that walking into the meeting would put her in the eye of the storm.However, a brainstorm does not exist in the world of weather. To brainstorm means to try to solve a problem by talking with other people. And don't worry. If we have trouble thinking of an idea for the next program, we can always brainstorm with you!（1）What's mainly discussed in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs?A. What the meanings of weathering the storm are.B. How we can weather the storm.C. Weathering a storm doesn't involve actual weather.D. People in Tornado Alley can survive the storm.（2）Why does the author mention a family reunion in the fifth paragraph?A. To stress the importance of weather forecast.B. To develop the awareness of family.C. To explain the meaning of an expression.D. To praise the older children for being clever.（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A problem can't be solved if you worry too much.B. A brainstorm often appears in the world of weather.C. Difficulties can be dealt with by teamwork.D. To brainstorm can cause troubles in the program.（4）What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To tell us stormy weather can cause destruction.B. To tell us some expressions about storm.C. To tell us a storm can cause conflicts.D. To tell us we should be ready for a storm.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

At 102 years of age, she's living proof.According to Boonville, Indiana's Eunice Modlin, a daily dose of chocolate has been the key to a long and healthy life. Specifically, two pieces of dark chocolate. It's not just Eunice who believes this.Many scientists have attributed the sweet to health benefits such as lower chances of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.However, researchers believe that Eunice might be overlooking the fact that she has never smoked or drunk alcohol in her long life, and that chocolate might not be the significant cause of her longevity."There are so many other factors to her long life and chocolate isn't the only one," nutritionist Vanessa Rissetto said. "Genes, her diet in general…are probably the main reasons."At any rate, Eunice is still alive and kicking. With four children, seven grandkids, 14 great-grandkids and 11 great-great grandkids, this lady has a big family.It must be noted that Eunice was also very athletic, being an archer in her 20s .Amazingly, she has lived through tough times such as the Great Depression and World War II .Also, the healthy blood runs through the veins of other family members. Eunice's brother is also still alive, at 101 years of age.No matter what you might think, Eunice's consumption of chocolate can't be ignored. In 2015, a BMJ study showed that a daily treat of one small bar would give the consumer 23% less chance of having a stroke (中风).What is in the sweet that makes it so beneficial? Apparently, cocoa beans have flavonoids, plant nutrients that have useful antioxidants (抗氧化剂)."Not all chocolate is created equal," Rissetto warns. "Dark chocolate has more flavonoids than milk chocolate, and white chocolate—which does not actually contain chocolate—is not a good source of flavonoids."（1）According to the article, which of the following lead to Eunice Modlin's long and healthy life?a. two pieces of dark chocolateb. genesc. lifelong exercised. good diete. love of her large familyA. a, b, dB. b, c, dC. a, b, eD. a, c, d（2）Rissetto thinks that .A. chocolate is the most important thing that affects Eunice's healthB. no smoking or drinking contributes the most to Eunice's longevityC. chocolate really has nothing to do with her long and healthy lifeD. Eunice's good dietdoesn't only mean taking chocolate every day（3）What the author presented in the passage sounds .A. persuasiveB. objectiveC. subjectiveD. critical（4）From the whole passage we can conclude that______________.A. there's universal proof for what contributes to a long lifeB. it is generally accepted that chocolate is the key to longevityC. many factors may contribute to people's good healthD. a bit of any chocolate a day keeps the doctor away【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，美国印第安纳女性Eunice Modlin现在已经102岁的了，她认为自己长寿的秘密是每天吃巧克力，并分析了她长寿的原因以及巧克力对健康产生影响的原因。

（英语）高二英语阅读理解各地方试卷集合汇编一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
So many of us hold on to little resentments that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn't very good, recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted initially and said, "I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize." She was literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn "small stuff" into really "big stuff" in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You'll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be "right," they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself.（1）The underlined word "rekindle" in Paragraph 1 probably means "____________".A. recoverB. developC. acceptD. replace（2）According to the passage, the author's friend never spoke to her son for three years because ____________.A. she had got an argument with her daughter-in-lawB. she had disagreed about her son's marriageC. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-lawD. she had disliked her son's wife for many years（3）Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?A. People believe that they are always right.B. People always wait for others to offer an apology first.C. People consider the position more important than happiness.D. People want to get an inner satisfaction.（4）The purpose of the passage is to ____________.A. instruct the readers how to apologizeB. teach the readers how to gain inner peaceC. inform the readers the importance of being forgivingD. tell the readers to reach out firstwhen there are painful events.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了面对与人们的矛盾时，不要执着于怨恨，伸出你的手来化解它，学会首先向别人道歉，让别人是对的，这并不意味着你是错的。

She said with a tear in her eye."Well, I think it's very pretty, so, why are you crying?"With a tremble in her voice the little girl answered.

The man he spoke to said, "Hey, sorry, man, but we were just commenting on how pretty your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket!"The middle-aged man calmly invited the joker to come over to his table, and politely seated him.

The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly. I couldn't describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume.

In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero's wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.Finding Chester deGavre's jacket and connecting to his familywith the help of Facebook have been someaningful to me.

Neither of us makes a lot of money, but years of experience have taught us how to walk between the raindrops and make it from one month to the next with a fair amount of grace. I cook a lot at home, more when we're facing lean times. When I know that I have to keep usfed on notmuch money, I fall back on my grandmother's recipes. She taught me to cook.When I was a kid, my twin brother and I spent long summer weeks and Christmas vacations with my mother's parents in the mountains of North Carolina. Rather than go hunting with my grandfather on frozen mornings, I found myself more and more in the kitchen with my grandmother, watching her making a lemon cheese pie with her soft hands.My great-grandmother died when my grandmother was 11 years old. As the eldest daughter, she was expected to take on all of the housework while attending school. Throughout the Great Depression, she learned how to makea little food go a long way. Vegetables were cheap, so she cooked a lot of them, mostly only using small amounts of meat for seasoning. Roast beef was a twice-a-month luxury, but there was nothing she couldn't do with a chicken, every part of it. Nothing went to waste.Now I understand that her food was sacred. I feel connected to my grandmother and to hundreds of years offamily when I'm in my kitchen making country food. In the delicious smells is a long tale of victory over hard times, of conquering starvation--of not just surviving, but finding joy and pleasure in every meal of every day.From grandmother I learned to take real satisfaction in feeding people. My grandmother would beam withpleasure over a heavily laden table and say, "Do you know what this would cost at the restaurant?" I never knew what restaurant in particular she had in mind, but I knew that the question was totally not fair, because no restaurantanywhere can cook like a grandmother. But now, thanks to her guidance and years of practice, I can.28. According to the passage, the author cooks a lot at home because__________.A. she wants to try out her grandmother's recipesB. she and her husband are quite particular about foodC. she enjoys cooking at homeD. she and her husband are embarrassed financially29. What does the underlined word "lean" mean in the first paragraph?A. with a bad harvestB. with little moneyC. with little energyD. with little work30. According to the passage, the author's grandmother__________.A. learnt to cook throughout the Great DepressionB. was careful in budgetingC. preferred chicken to beefD. was careful in cooking vegetables31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Cook like My GrandmotherB. My Grandmother's Sacred FoodC. My Grandmother's RecipeD. Joy and Pleasure in Cooking5."Joe? Is that you?" The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. "Marci?" I asked."It IS you !" she cried out, smiling broadly. "Gosh, it's good tosee you again !"It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I've wondered about her. I almost triedto search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of expectation.We spent a few minutes talking about our lives—the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. "You know, Joe," she said, " I've always wanted to tell you…how…how sorry I am for the way I tr you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally." I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her."It's OK," I said, "No big deal!" "But I was such a jerk," she continued. Yes you were, I thought. "We were bothpretty young," I smiled. "I know." she said, "It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you.And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry."The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like relief. "OK," I said. "Apology accepted!" Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around herand gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.It isn't enough to just say "I'm sorry" and "You're forgiven." But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bringpeace to an injured soul—even years after the fact.

Relief of Finding a friend6.John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face hedidn't, the girl with the rose.His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwritingreflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt thatif he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like.When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting --7:00 PM at the Great Central Station in New York. "You'll recognize me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel."So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen.I'll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me, and her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attractive smile curved her lips. "Going my way, sailor?" she murmured.Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, andthen I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I feltas though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied me and upheld my own.And there she stood Her pale，plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify meto her.This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out thebook to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. I'm Lieutenant (中尉)John Blanchard，and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "butthe young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across thestreet She said it was some kind of test!"It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to theunattractive, "Tell me whom you love," Houssaye wrote, "And I will tell you who you are."65. The underlined phrase "intrigued" in Paragraph 2 means "______" .A. satisfied withB. fascinated byC. encouraged byD. frustrated with66. How did John Blanchard know of Miss Hollis Maynell?A. They lived in the same city.B. They were both interested in literature.C. John came across Hollis in a Florida library.D. John knew Hollis's name from a library book.67.

When Blanchard went over to greet the woman, he was_____ .A. disappointed but well-behavedB. excited and confidentC. annoyed and bad-manneredD. shocked but inspired70. Which of the following can be the best title for thepassage?A. Don't Judge a Book by its CoverB. The Symbol of RoseC. Love is BlindD. A Test of Love7.I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. Ahuge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water.He wasn't going to hurry now. We thought that he'd drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant's body, and let out over 100 liters of pus(脓)--the result of the elephant's meeting with a poacher months ago.Today's poacher shoots from a distance. An arrow, covered with poison, is fired into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-- it doesn't mean the poison won't finally killthe elephant, but it will be a slow death.Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think aboutthe death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as thedead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit-- but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.24. While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ______.A. knew the elephant was injuredB. found the elephant acted violentlyC. tried their best to save the elephantD. thought the elephant was in good condition25. According to the passage, the underlined word "poacher" is probably ______.A. A hunter who kills or catches animals illegallyB. A kind of fierce meat-eating animalC. A serious disease that can infect elephantsD. A kind of deadly poison26. Further examination showed that the dead elephant ______.A. had suffered a lotB. was killed by a poisonous needleC. had suffered an hour or twoD. had had a good fight with a poacher27. Why did the author write the article?A. To introduce the African elephant.B. To show the cruelty of poaching.C. To describe his filming experience.D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.8.Pete Richards was the loneliest man in town on the day that little Jean Grace opened the door of his shop.Pete's grandfather had owned the shop until his death. Thenthe shop became Pete's. The front window wasfull of beautiful old things: jewelry of a hundred years ago, gold and silver boxes, carved figures from China and Japan and other nations.On this winter afternoon, a child stood there, her face close to the window. With large and serious eyes, she studied each piece in the window. Then, looking pleased, she stepped back from the window and went into the shop. Pete himself stood behind the counter. His eyes were cold as he looked at the small girl. " Please," she began, " would you let me look at the pretty string of blue beads in the window?" Pete took the string of blue beads from the window. The beads were beautiful against his hand as he held the necklace up for her to see."They are just right," said the child as though she were alone with the beads. "Will you wrap them up in pretty paper for me, please? I've been looking for a really wonderful Christmas present for my sister."How much money do you have?" asked Pete.She put a handful of pennies on the counter. "This is all I have," she explained simply. "I've been saving the money for my sister's present. "Pete looked at her, his eyes thoughtful. Then he carefully closed his hand over the price mark on the necklace so that she could not see it. How could he tell her the price? The happy look in her big blue eyes struck him like the pain of an old wound."Just a minute," he said and went to the back of the shop. "What's your name?" he called out. He was very busy about something."Jean Grace," answered the child.When Pete returned to the front of the shop, he held apackage in his hand. It was v/rapped in pretty Christmas paper."There you are," he said. "Don't lose it on the way home. "She smiled happily at him as she ran out of the door. Through the window he watched her go. He felt more alone than ever.Something about Jean Grace and her string of beads had made him feel once more the pain of his old grief. The child's hair was as yellow as the sunlight; her eyes were as blue as the sea. Once upon a time, Pete had loved a girl with hair of that same yellow and with eyes just as blue. And the necklace of blue stones had been meant for her.But one rainy night, a car had gone off the road and struck the girl. After she died, Pete felt that he had nothing left in the world except his grief. The blue eyes of Jean Grace brought him out of that world of self-pity and made him remember again all that he had lost. The pain of remembering was so great that Pete wanted to run away from the happy Christmas shoppers who came to look at his beautiful old things during the next ten days.When the last shopper had gone, late on Christmas Eve, The door opened and a young woman came in. Pete could not understand it, but he felt that he had seen her before. Her hair was sunlight yellow and her eyes weresea-blue. Without speaking, she put on the counter a package wrapped in pretty Christmas paper. When Pete opened the package, the string of blue beads lay again before him.Did this come from your shop?" she asked.Pete looked at her with eyes no longer cold. "Yes, it did," he said."Are the stones real?""Yes. They aren't the best turquoise(绿松石), but they are real. ""Can you remember to whom you sold them?""She was a small girl. Her name was Jean. She wanted them for her sister's Christmas present. ""How much were they?""I can't tell you that," he said. "The seller never tells anyone else what a buyer pays. ""But Jean has never had more than a few pennies. How could she pay for them?""She paid the biggest price one can ever pay," he said.For a moment there was no sound in the little shop. Then somewhere in the city, church bells began to ring. It was midnight and the beginning of another Christmas Day."But why did you do it?" the girl asked.Pete put the package into her hands."There is no one else to whom I can give a Christmas present," he said. "It is already Christmas morning. Will you let me take you to your home? I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas at your door. "And so, to the sound of many bells, Pete Richards and a girl whose name he had not yet learned walked outinto the hope and happiness of a new Christmas Day.27. Pete did not say the price of the necklace because ______.A. the seller never tells anyone else what a buyer paysB. he priced the necklace too highC. he knew it would disappoint the girlD. he didn't want to sell the necklace28. The eyes of Jean Grace brought Pete out of his world of self-pity and he ______.A. tried to forget the memory of his sweetheartB. began to look at the world optimisticallyC. remembered his lost loveD. no longer felt the pain in him29. By saying "She paid the biggest price one can ever pay," Pete meant that Jean Grace_________.A. gave the most money for the necklaceB. gave all she had with her for the necklaceC. appreciated the value of the necklaceD. wanted to have the best thing in the shop30. At the end of the story we see that Pete _____ .A. found another girl that he could trustB. met someone who truly loved himC. found a place to go at lastD. regained his ability to love9.Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor, a youngerand less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company. Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.During the interview, Mr. Petri said, "You're just the kind of person we need here. You're being wasted in your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. I'm sure we can find a place for you in our organization." Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.。

高一英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解United States health officials are urging people to stop using electronic cigarettes, known as e-cigarettes. The call to action came after such products were linked to health problems. Five deaths have also been reported. E-cigarettes are a popular substitute for smoking products. The electronic devices heat liquid that includes flavoring, nicotine and other chemicals into vapor—very small particles that users breathe in. Nicotine is found in many plants, including tobacco. E-cigarettes or similar devices also can provide THC or other substances to users. THC is the natural chemical present in marijuana(大麻) plants that gives users the mental state known as a "high". E-cigarettes are said to be safer than normal cigarettes because they do not create the cancer-causing byproducts of burning tobacco. Yet health officials say e-cigarette users have reported shortness of breath and other breathing problems, such as coughing and chest pain. Some have been sick to the stomach, felt very tired, suffered weight loss or developed high body temperatures. One report noted that most of the 53 illnesses reported in Illinois and Wisconsin were related to THC vaping(气化) products. But nearly 20 percent of the patients inhaled(吸入)substances like nicotine from e-cigarettes. Most of the reported cases were of young men.The report found that, "Since no single product or substance has been associated with the illness, persons should consider not using e-cigarettes while this investigation is ongoing." Last November, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, reported that "e-cigarette use increased considerably among U.S. middle and high school students during 2017—2018." Among high school students, it found e-cigarette use rose from 220,000 students in 2011 to 3.05 million in 2018.On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA gave a warning to JUUL Labs, maker of the best-selling e-cigarettes. The FDA accused the company of illegally marketing its products as being "safer than cigarettes" without the agency's approval. In a statement, the FDA's acting commissioner said that, "JUUL has ignored the law, and has made some of these statements in school to our nation's youth." A JUUL spokesman said the company is studying the FDA's comments and "will fully cooperate".（1）Which of the following can best describe e-cigarettes?A.Deadly.B.Harmless.C.Infectious.D.Effective.（2）What change will be caused when smokers inhale e-cigarettes containing THC?A.They will be healthier.B.They will lose weight.C.They will feel excited.D.They will be peaceful.（3）What information about JUUL Labs can we get from the last paragraph?A.Students became its main marketing targets.B.FDA didn't agree on its way of promoting its products.C.It completely denied what it was accused of.D.E-cigarettes were invented by it.（4）What can be the best title of the passage?A.Say "No" to cigarettesB.A sharp rise of e-cigarettes use among young people.C.Safer e-cigarettes are needed for health.D.E-cigarettes—a potential killer.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，美国卫生官员敦促人们停止使用电子烟，电子烟同人们的健康问题有关。
(英语)高考英语阅读理解(人生百味)各地方试卷集合汇编(1)
（英语）高考英语阅读理解(人生百味)各地方试卷集合汇编(1)一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解Two of the saddest words in the English language are "if only". I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, "Take the extra minute to do it right." I always try to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only" moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don't only avoid those "if only" moments when it comes to safety. It's equally important to avoid "if only" in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say "I love you" or "I forgive you." When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here. But then I thought about the fact that he's 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say "if only" about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.（1）Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute" rule?A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.（2）The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.A.keep her appointment with the eye doctorB.meet her father who was already an old manC.join in the holiday celebration of the companyD.finish her work before the deadline approached（3）The underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.A.abandonedckedC.avoidedD.taken（4）What is the best title for the passage?A.To Keep Emotional Well-beingB.To Prevent "If Only" MomentsC.To Follow the Most Useful RuleD.To Achieve the Peace of Mind【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者认为英语中最悲伤的两个词语是"if only"，因为他们表达了遗憾。

They hoped that the governments would act quickly in order to conserve nature. Here is one example of the problem.

If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot o f them know that conservation is necessary. Many are hoping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of eleven kilometres of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called “No, One’s Going to Change our World. ” It was made by Scatles, Cliff Richard and other singers.
