高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解Russ Gremel, now 98 years old, decided it was time to donate $2 million to the Illinois Audubon Society, a charity to purchase nearly 400 acres of land for wildlife protection. 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. He raised many pet dogs in his life.B. He bought Walgreens stock at age 28.C. He adopted a young Chihuahua recently.D. He volunteered in wildlife shelters regularly.（3）What can we infer about Gremel's neighbors from the text?A. They live in harmony with animals.B. They are impressed with dog Winnie.C. They lead a healthy and wealthy life.D. They are caring and kind to each other.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，格雷梅尔是一个没有孩子的单身男人，他在芝加哥同一所房子里住了95年，一直过着简朴的生活。

他经常给社会慈善机构捐钱。

他在28岁时购买了沃尔格林的股票。

故选B。

（3）考查推理判断。

2．阅读理解I believe in the power of science fiction, not just for its capacity to transform dreams into reality, but also for its power to bond together those who share a common vision of the future. For me, that's true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasn't Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser(巡洋) on the screen.Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When it's warm at night, we're not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.Gene Rodenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said, " Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses(绕过)a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects. "A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I'm now a science writer.Yes, science fiction has made me into a "nerd"(书呆子), and it also has been a source of joy for my family, making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors who have shared their visions; the world and my family arebetter for it. Thank my dad, who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson's words," Since I dipped into the future, I saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that would be."（1）What is the special bond between the author and his father?A. Their similar dreams.B. Their love for each other.C. Their common interest.D. Their passion for science.（2）What does the author mainly show in paragraph 2?A. His deep impression on his dad.B. His feeling of staying with his dad.C. His earliest memory of his dad.D. His good relationship with his dad.（3）How does science fiction help the author at present?A. It leads him to pursue a desirable career.B. It brings him the courage to live better.C. It helps him solve the danger of technology.D. It makes him become a source of his family's joy.（4）What may be the best title for the text?A. The Wonders of ScienceB. The Power of Science FictionC. The Versions of Science FictionD. The Time together with My Father【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者和父亲都热爱科幻小说，它不仅帮助作者与父亲建立了深厚的感情，而且帮助作者实现了梦想。

Whitman created a new kind of poetry.Walt Whitman was born in eighteen nineteen in New York City. During his long life, he watched America grow from a young nation to the strongest industrial power in the world.

He called it Leaves of Grass. It had only twelve poems. The poems are written in free verse. The lines do not follow any set form. Some lines are short. Some are long. The words at the end of each line do not have a similar sound. They do not rhyme.One of America's greatest thinkers and writers immediately recognized the importance of Leaves of Grass. Ralph Waldo Emerson praised Whitman's work. But most other poets and writers said nothing and even denounced it. Most readers also rejected Whitman's poems. The new form of his poetry surprised many people. Even his own brother told Whitman that he should stop writing poetry. But Whitman had many things to say. And he continued to say them. Readers began to understand that America had a great new poetic voice.Walt Whitman's poems praise the United States and its democracy.

He spent the last years of his life in Camden, New Jersey. Whitman was poor and weak during the last years of his life. He died in eighteen ninety-two.

高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解On a recent trip to the island of Newfoundland, Canada, my husband asked our talkative cab driver what made him most proud to be from there."Our generosity and hospitality (好客)," he replied in a strong local accent. "Your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, someone will stop to help. People here are kind like that."His answer lingered in my mind during that ride with my husband and teenage kids, as we headed out to explore on the first day of our vacation.Little did I know we were about to experience some of that remarkable Newfoundland kindness for ourselves.We met Alma that same morning at the start of a long hike.Our teenagers hurried ahead, and as we walked behind, admiring the scenery, two women in sunglasses and summer hiking gear stopped.They'd heard us discussing different routes, then asked if we'd like suggestions.They looked to be in their 40s, and were both enthusiastic to share their local expertise.We listened eagerly, taking mental notes, until one of the women asked, "You have a car, right?"I explained that there were no cars available during our week on the island, so we had to rely on cabs instead."Oh no," she said, "you need a car." And then, as casually as if offering a piece of chewing gum (口香糖), she said: "Take mine!"Dumbfounded, my husband and I just smiled in disbelief."Why not?" She insisted. "You need a car to get to know all these places.""But you don't even know us," I said."That doesn't matter," she continued with absolute determination.Stunned, I looked over at her friend, who shrugged and said, "That's Alma."Forty minutes of talking later, my family climbed into Alma's car.We spent the rest of our vacation discovering different areas of this beautiful island.But it wasn't the groups of whales we saw, or the vast areas of woodland, that made this place so memorable.Instead, it was the act of kindness from a complete stranger that made us realize how special Newfoundland really was.Next year, there's no doubt where we'll be taking our summer vacation. Who knows what act of kindness we'll meet then?（1）What problem did the author's family have in Newfoundland?A.They couldn't understand the local accent.B.Their car broke down on the first day.C.They got lost during a hike.D.They didn't have a car.（2）The underlined word "dumbfounded" in Paragraph 12 is closest in meaning to ______.A.shockedB.satisfiedC.relievedD.embarrassed（3）What impressed the author most during her stay in Newfoundland?A.The talkative cab driver.B.The whales swimming.C.The beautiful scenery of the island.D.The help from an enthusiastic stranger.（4）What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?A.She is looking forward to meeting Alma once more.B.She expects to visit Newfoundland again.C.She hasn't decided where to go next year.D.She also wants to be kind to others during vacation.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者最近一次去加拿大的纽芬兰旅行时，被当地人的热情好客深深触动。

高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)专题训练答案及解析

高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)专题训练答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解Many people criticize today's newspapers as sensationalist, satisfying the public's abnormal curiosity. But journalism a century ago was just as notorious (臭名昭著). Publishers at that time routinely competed with each other for wild stories that could draw in the most readers. Meanwhile, it was an ideal atmosphere for a courageous reporter like Nellie Bly to spring into fame.Bly, whose name was Elizabeth Corcoran, had to work to make her way in the world. Different from many women of the time, however, she refused to let the working world scare her away. Her first big opportunity as a reporter came in 1885 after she wrote an angry letter denouncing the Pittsburgh Dispatch for an article it had run criticizing women forced to work outside the home. The interested and excited editor hired Bly for her "spirit," and soon she was investigating the situations of female factory workers. Bly cared less about their jobs than their lives after work - their amusements, their motivations, their fears and ambitions. She produced an article totally different from what other reporters of the time were writing: personal, thoughtful, meaningful.By 1887 Bly had a job with the New York World, one of the leader papers of the day. She quickly became famous for undercover stories about women in a mental hospital. Soon she had investigated life as a maid, a chorus girl, and even a street girl. In her best - known brave deeds, in 1890, Bly beat the famous "around the world in 80 days" trip Jules Verne had described in his novel. Traveling by steamship, train, even ricksha, Bly reported from each stop. A spellbound nation hung on every word. Only 25, Bly had become internationally famous.（1）Bly's first newspaper job was .A. with the New York WorldB. with the Pittsburgh DispatchC. to interview mental patientsD. to experience life of chorus girls（2）What does the underlined word "denouncing" in Para. 2 probably mean?A. Praising.B. Questioning.C. Informing.D. Condemning.（3）How did Nellie Bly gain world - wide fame?A. By criticizing Jules Verne.B. By competing with other reporters.C. By writing stories through investigation.D. By caring about women from different classes.（4）Which of the following best describes Nellie Bly?A. Daring and practical.B. Acute and confident.C. Critical and dependent.D. Calm and enthusiastic.【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，Bly是一名美国女记者,在那个记者都热衷于相互竞争而报道不实新闻特殊年代,她选择为女性说话。

These works were displayed in Pingyao, an ancient city in Shanxi Province, under the title Beijing Midsummer Night Dream in September 2010.The moon doors serve as a keyhole through which one can catch a glimpse of a slice of Beijing life.

These cabins were mostly rented by migrant workers- peddlers, craftsmen, grocers and innkeepers.Born in 1950, Bartolome has worked as a photographer, stage director.

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. Meanwhile, he learned more about those rural migrants who earn their living in a city with which they are unfamiliar.He adopted an optimistic perspective to shoot the sights, and he borrowed the title of one of William Shakespeare s comedy works: A Midsummer Night's Dream.（1）What is the main purpose of the exhibition?A. To present Bartolome's photographic skills.B. To tell us Bartolome's work experience in Beijing.C. To show us Bartolome's optimistic view on ordinary life in Beijing.D.
