(英语)高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析

一、高中英语阅读理解
1.阅读理解

Two of the saddest words in the English language are
never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and
disappointment.

My father is famous in our family for saying
to live by the
always thought about what I could do to avoid an
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
avoid onlyin our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and
regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say
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 was 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
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

A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated. B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron
working.

C. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone. D. Wait for an extra minute so that
the steak tastes better.

(2)The underlined word

A. abandoned B. avoided C. lacked D. taken

(3)The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ________.

A. join in the holiday celebration of the company B. keep her appointment with the eye
doctor

C. finish her work before the deadline approached D. meet her father who was already an
old man

(4)What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Two Saddest Words B. The Most Useful Rule

C. The Peace of Mind D. The Emotional Well-being

【答案】(1)C


(2)A

(3)D

(4)A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,作者认为英语中最悲伤的两个词语是only.因为
他们表达 了遗憾,父亲在我小的时候经常让我提前做一些能防止意外发生的事,因此我懂
得珍惜现在所拥有的一切 ,而且我知道我正在做对的事。

(1)考查推理判断。根据第一、二段的内容可知,作者所说 的minuterule是指在
遇事时多思考一分钟,从而可以避免以后遗憾、犯错或失望。C项“在绊 倒别人之前把障碍
物挪走”,属于“extra minute”规则。故选C。

( 2)考查词义猜测。划线词所在句and前后连接语意相似成分,由其前失去一个心爱的
人或物可推知此 处是指“后悔放弃一个机会”,foregone意为“放弃”与abandoned同义,故
选A。< br>
(3)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“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 .”可知父亲说在周五去看眼科医
生时经过作者的办公室,虽然那天是假日,但作者想到父亲84了,自 己不应该放弃每一次
见父亲的机会,于是又改口说那天上班。故选D。

(4)考查主 旨大意。通读文章可知,本文主要叙述了作者通过minuterule来避免
以后说only的情况。 only作为线索贯穿了整篇文章,且第一段也提到了the saddest
words,The Two Saddest Words适合作为标题,其他选项比较笼统,不能涵盖本文内容。故
选A。

【点评 】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测,推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查,是一
篇文化类阅读,要求考 生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行
分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正 确答案。

One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowen. Through
them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons. As my wife
and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me. After my
parents' divorce,I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio. By the time Sunday came around, I was
unable to enjoy the day's activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.

Now,standing among Matthew's accumulation of possessions, I realize it's me who has
become a boy again. All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me
as they did when I was a child.

His bed is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I replay wrapping
him in his favorite blanket. That was our nightly routine until one evening he said,


think I need a blanket tonight.
the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping. I'll never
have to worry about that again, I realize.

Have you ever experienced such an annoying thing as it took so long to open a web page?
You're watching stops every few minutes, which ruined your internet experience. But it could be a
thing of the past. On June 3, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that
China would issue licenses for the commercialization of 5G. It means major telecom carriers will
start to provide 5G services.

The
other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and the internet, and 4G made all of
these things faster.

Now 5G promises much faster data download and upload speeds, and more stable connections.
This means that you will be able to download an entire HD movie in seconds and only experience
a short delay between sending and receiving data. For example, when you have a video chant
with your friend, there is generally a 100 to 200 milliseconds (毫秒) delay with 4G, but 5G will
reduce the delay to 1 millisecond or less, which is almost real time.

With a 5G network, the short delay in information exchange will allow driverless cars to run
more safely, as they will be able to communicate in real time and avoid potential dangers.
Meanwhile, 5G enabled wearable devices will keep doctors constantly updated on the health
status of their patients and warn them immediately if there's something wrong. Besides, VR
games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even
more real.

Though 5G will make our lives more convenient, it will not be perfect. For one thing, 5G will

s can treat more patients.

drivers are needed in the near future.

advanced technologies will be further improved.

en will hate playing VR games in the real world.

(3)What can he found when 5G is compared with 4G?

A.4G cover smaller areas.

B.4G needs more transmitters.

C.5G signals can travel farther.

D.5G costs higher in early stage.

nges that 5G will face.

ts that people will get from 5G.

difference that 5G will make to our lives.

4.阅读理解

A Song of Ice and Fire is a seven-part series of fantasy written for adults. George R. R. Martin
writes each chapter from the perspective of a specific character, providing a limited point of view
for each section. The reader is able to understand the inner workings of the individual, but the
reader is barred from a whole understanding of the text. The world he has created has magic, but
there is much more than that. While magic exists, it exists on the edge, and the inner unrest of
the characters is much more important.

His work also has a level of realness that is astonishing in a work of fantasy. Characters are
imperfect, and many make questionable moral choices. In the end, however, Martin shows that
both good and bad happen to both the people of high moral standard and the corrupt. He has


made it clear that any character can die at any point, which has led to a lot of heartbreak from
readers.

In 2011, A Song of Ice and Fire became a television series titled Game of Thrones. Martin has
been closely involved with the production. It has currently run for seven seasons, and viewers
anxiously await the eighth season to answer their questions from the season seven finale.

His fans are also waiting for The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, the next books in the
series, to answer the questions Martin and the television show have not yet addressed. Martin,
however, has no plans to rush. He has made it clear that he will continue to write the books while
working on the television show and writing other novels.

But how will the story continue? What is going to happen in Westeros, and more importantly:
when are we going to find out? Martinis skill as a writer has kept readers and viewers spellbound.
Many hope he will finish the next book before the next season of the show begins, but no one
knows with Martin. He always keeps his readers guessing.

A. each chapter is written from a limited point of view B. magic is the center of the story

astonishing choices

(4)How will the ending of the story be?

【答案】(1)A

(2)A

(3)C

(4)D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了George R. R. Martin为成人写的奇幻 小说《冰
与火之歌》。作者Martin从一个特定的角色的角度来写每一章,为每一节提供一个有限的
观点。这人们正期待作者继续写作,把故事延续下去。

(1)考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“George R. R. Martin writes each chapter from the

8.阅读理解

There are at least 3, 000 miles of waterways in Britain. On these canals and rivers, there are
over 30,000 'houseboats'—boats that people use as homes. Around 10, 000 of them are located
in London.

The earliest populations of Britain's 'boat people' have been living on the water since the
canals were built during the industrial revolution. Since then, houseboat living has usually
attracted people who prefer to live an alternative lifestyle. Houseboat communities are typically
made up of people who are looking for a slower way of life and who want to be in touch with
nature.

Living on the water sounds romantic, but it is also hard work. There are daily things that need
to be done, like bringing fuel and water on board and dealing with 'waste' water from kitchen
sink, shower and toilet. In winter, living on a boat can be very cold and there is always a feeling of
damp. Of course, most boats are quite small inside, so you don't have much space, especially if
you are a couple, family or a group of friends.

Despite these difficulties, the number of people living on Britain's waterways has increased by
around 50 per cent over the past ten years. More and more families and young professionals are
moving onto houseboats, not only because they like the idea of life on water, but also because it
is much cheaper to buy or rent a boat than a flat or a house.

There is a great sense of community on the waterways; many boat people say that their
neighbours are always ready to help them, and houseboat neighbours often become friends for
life. This is quite a different story from people who live in flats or houses and may hardly know
the people next door at all.

(1)What does the underlined word

ve.

ble.

— traditional.

ive.

(2)From the third paragraph, we know that it is to live on the boat.

enient





ettable

(3)Which of the following information is not given in the text?

are lots of rivers and canals in Britain.

people live on houseboats in Wales.

oat living become popular in the industrial revolution.

who live on houseboats are usually very friendly with their neighbours.

(4)Why do many people choose to live on the water?

on the water is romantic

on the water is easy and natural

on the water can avoid unfriendly neighbours

on the water costs less than living on the land

【答案】 (1)C

(2)A

(3)B

(4)D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在英国年轻人中流行的一种居住方式 “船
屋”。

(1)考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“Houseboat communities are typically made up of
people who are looking for a slower way of life and who want to be in touch with nature.”可知,
游艇社区通常是由那些 寻求慢节奏生活方式和想要接触大自然的人组成的;再根据第一段
中的“there are over 30,000 'houseboats'—boats that people use as homes.” 这些人以船为家
的。即他们以船为家,是因为喜欢慢节奏的生活,想要接触大自然。这 与传统的居住方式
不同。可知“Since then, houseboat living has usually attracted people who prefer to live an
alternative lifestyle”这句是说从工业革命起,游艇生活通常吸引那些喜欢另 类生活方式的
人。即这种游艇生活吸引那些喜欢“非传统的”生活方式的人。选项C. Non — traditional(非
传统的)符合题意,故选C。

Some people sit outside for hours without getting bitten by mosquitoes, but it always seems
like you're being eaten alive within minutes of stepping outdoors.

If this is you, you're not alone. According to Smithsonian Magazine, around 20 percent of
people in the world are especially tasty to mosquitoes. What about these people makes
mosquitoes' mouths water?

A popular myth claims that mosquitoes prefer certain blood types, but the fact is that they
simply can't tell what your blood type is from a faraway place. Jonathon Day, a professor of
medical entomology (昆虫学) at the University of Florida in the US, told NBC it's not complicated.


Mosquitoes are especially active in the late afternoon. While flying along, they use their sense
of smell to find possible targets. They find victims (攻击对象) by smelling the carbon dioxide (CO
2
)
breathed out by humans and animals. That's why you commonly find them in crowded streets
and parks.

Joop van Loon, an entomologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, told Live Science,
使......朝向) themselves to carbon dioxide and keep flying upwind as
they sense higher concentrations (浓度).

As a result, people who simply exhale (呼出) more of the gas over time – generally, larger
people – have been shown to attract more mosquitoes than others.
bitten as much ... as adults,

This love for CO
2
can also put pregnant women at increased risk for mosquito bites, as they
tend to exhale 21 percent more CO
2
than people of the same age and size who aren't pregnant.

In addition to carbon dioxide, the color of the clothes you wear also plays a role in attracting
mosquitoes.

According to Live Science, mosquitoes can lock onto targets from up to 50 meters away. At this
distance, what we wear has a huge effect. Due to their vision (视觉), people wearing dark colors
are more likely to become targets.


Being bitten by mosquitoes is annoying, but don't worry. Some simple tips can help ward them
off. Scientists recommend that we use insect repellent (驱虫剂) and wear light-colored clothing.

(1)How do mosquitoes locate their targets, according to the article?

seeking out bright clothes.

possible targets. They find victims by smelling the carbon dioxide (CO
2
) breathed out by humans
and animals. ”飞的时候,它们用嗅觉发现目标。它们通过闻人和动物呼出的二氧化碳来锁
定目标 ;以及第五段中的“Mosquitoes start orienting themselves to carbon dioxide and keep
flying upwind as they sense higher concentrations”蚊子开始飞向有二氧化碳的地方,当它们
感知到高浓度的二氧化碳时,就保持逆流飞行,可知,蚊子通过感知二氧化碳的增加来锁
定目标。故选C 。

(2)考查细节理解。根据第七段“This love for CO
2
can also put pregnant women at increased
risk for mosquito bites, as they tend to exhale 21 percent more CO
2
than people of the same age
and size who aren't pre gnant.”对二氧化碳的喜欢使得孕妇很容易被蚊子咬,因为她们比正常
相同年龄,相同体型的人呼 出多余21%的二氧化碳,可知,孕妇呼出更多的二氧化碳,所
以更招蚊子咬。故选B。
