语鹅市安置阳光实验学校四川省成都市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练80集连载（63）【2015高考复习】阅读理解For many people，volunteering is a way of life.Holidays are the time of the year that more people are in a giving mood.Homeless shelters，children’s hospitals，and nursing homes are excellent places to give of one’s time.Volunteering in Homeless SheltersThere is a homeless directory online that anyone can easily access to find the closest homeless shelter to their home.According to the homeless shelter directory，currently there are 3,233 shelters in the US，so it is not difficult to find a shelter.Helping to serve food，picking up donations of food，preparing meals，and cleaning up are things that one can do to help at a homeless shelter.Volunteering in Children’s HospitalsEvery child needs comfort and joy，especially during the holiday seasons.By visiting sick children in hospitals，an individual provides helping hands by supplementing the services usually done by the hospital staff.Personalizing the hospital experience adds to the comfort and happiness of the children and their families.Volunteers provide help，and positive interactions (相互交流) which enhance the patient’s quality of care.Help is needed almost everywhere in a hospital；from the lobby，parking lot，cafeteria，to admitting，helping with the gift cart，and even reading to children in the waiting rooms or their hospital rooms. Volunteering in Nursing HomesAccording to the National Center for Health Statistics，“Over 50% of those living in nursing homes do not have close relatives and 46% have n o living children.” Life in a nursing home is lonely，confusing，and frightening for many residents.Volunteering at a nursing home is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone else’s life.Playing cards，sitting with and talking to a resident，taking a walk，or sharing a meal makes a huge difference，especially when they have no other sole on earth to visit them.The three examples above are only a small fraction of institutions in which volunteers are needed.Giving of oneself，especially during the holidays blesses and cheers others.【语篇解读】本文介绍了人们在假期中可以选择去做志愿活动的三个地方。

【2016高考训练】At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour. In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it.They reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car, but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him. “Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car.“Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp.“One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking at it with interest.“Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.“I’ve often wanted a ride in one, but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.“Jump in,” said Rolls.“Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitting down, “You can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”1．The po licemen were told “to look the other way” so that _______.A. they could watch the car coming from the other directionB.

广东省东莞市南开实验学校2014高考英语二轮阅读理解基础训练题（7）阅读理解----Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children．In spite of the hopeless condition, two of the children, Albrecht Durer and Albert, had a dream．They both wanted to pursue their talent for art．After many long discussions, the two boys finally worked out an agreement．They would toss a coin．The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother who attended the academy．Then, when that brother who won the toss completed his studies, in four years, he would support the other brother at the academy．Tossing a coin, Albrecht Durer won and went off to Nuremberg．Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, supported his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation（轰动）．By the time he graduated, he had earned considerable fees for his outstanding works．When the young artist returned to his village, the Durer family held a festive dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s triumphant（胜利的）homecoming．Albrecht drank a toast to his beloved brother for the years of sacrifice that had enabled him to complete his dream．“And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your tur n．Now you can go to Nuremberg to look for your dream, and I will take care of you．”Tears streaming down his pale face, Albert sobbed, “No．．．no．．．It is too late for me．Look．．．look at what four years in the mines have done to my hands！The bones in every finger have been broken at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis（关节炎）so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less draw delicate lines with a pen or a brush．”To show thanks to Albert for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother’s injured hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward．He called his powerful drawing simply “Hands”, but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed it “The Praying Hands”．The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, let it be your reminder—no one ever makes any success alone！【文章大意】本文叙述了有两个兄弟家境贫困，通过扔硬币来决定了弟弟Albrecht Durer去学习艺术了，哥哥 Albert要去危险的矿井干活供弟弟上学。

Luckily, there a re some outdoor activities which don't involve breaking sweat. River raftingHot summer weather and cool water-what a perfect match! River rafting can be both scenic and ex citing. When the raft follows a gentle stream, the views of the countryside or valley is like a traditional Chinese painting.

Exploring unknown caverns and navigating undergroun d rivers is what makes caving so thrilling. Plus, caving can be a very healthy sport, for the oxygen level is usually higher so basically you are having an oxygen spa as the bonus.Where to find: Caving can be very risky, so consult local trave l agents and go in groups with professional cavers.Tips: Follow your guides; drink enough water to avoid dehydr ation(脱水)；and wear strong and not easily damaged hiking boots. Coastal walking/cycling and beach activitiesFor those who live far away from mountains, coastal regions a nd beaches are good places to spend time in the summer. Wit h sea breezes in your hair, it is nice to take a hike or cycle rid e while enjoying the coastline. If you want to be sportier, try b each games, such as soccer and volleyball. It's a totally differ ent experience from playing on hard courts or grass.Where to find: Just go to the beach or find an urban artificial b each such as the one in Chatoyant Park in Beijing or the man-made lake beach inTips: Loads of sunscreen needed; water and snacks are nece ssary; be aware of jellyfish and garbage floating in the water. What does the underlined words “old hat” in Paragraph 5 mea n?A．Out of fashion. B. Out of the way. C. A particular f ashion. D. A unique style2. If you love river rafting trips, you can .A. go to the beachB. explore cavesC. do some outdoor activitiesD. drift the boat downstre am3. What is specially needed to explore caves?A. An oxygen spa.B.

2014高考英语阅读理解全程基础训练（24）及答案 阅读理解------D (2013·全国Ⅰ，C) It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.
A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly(精彩地)written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar. And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't. In the World Book Day's “Report on Guilty Secrets”， Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out ), I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten .But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant. The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him, but haven't lied about it either) and Herman Melville. Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more indepth! But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J．K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words)．Fortytwo percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I'll come clean; I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so)． 文章大意：在世界读书日的调查报告中显示有百分之四十二的人撒谎说读过某本书，通常的原因是给人留下印象。 12．How did the author find his friend a book liar? A．By judging his manner of speaking. B．By looking into his background. C．By mentioning a famous name. D．By discussing the book itself. 答案：D 推理判断题。根据短文第一段最后两句话可知，他们继续谈论奥巴马的书时，对方根本不知道奥巴马的背景，故作者知道对方是在撒谎。由此可知D项正确。 13．Which of the following is a “guilty secret”according to the World Book Day report? A．Charles Dickens is very low on the topten list. B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984. C．The author admitted having read 9 books. D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read. 答案：B 推理判断题。根据短文第二段最后一句话可知，我不像那百分之四十二的人那样，撒谎说读过George Orwell的1984，我是真的读过。由此可知B项正确。 14．By lying about reading, a person hopes to ________. A．control the conversation B．appear knowledgeable C．learn about the book D．make more friends 答案：B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，他们撒谎的原因是给人们留下印象，由此可推断他们是想让人民知道他们知识渊博，故B项正确。 15．What is the author's attitude to 58%of readers? A．Favorable. B．Uncaring. C．Doubtful. D．Friendly. 答案：C 作者态度题。根据短文最后一段可知，他们说出的这些作者，都是畅销书作者，所以作者对这百分之五十二的人持怀疑态度。
第一节 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965. Although his passing was very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken forgranted, and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. One day, when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma. I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor. Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest. When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn. My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance. 26. What did grandma learn from grandpa's death? A. Good health was not there for everyone. B. She should take dance lessons. C. She had to struggle to live a better life. D. She should wear beautiful dresses. 【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。根据good health was not to be taken forgranted，对于大家来说
