People have been burying the dead at Salem’s Hope Cemetery since 1833. The place is filled with old gravestones and gothic mausoleums(哥特式陵墓), the spirits of the dead hanging over the land like an early

morning fog.

Keeping watch, a few steps from the road with her skirt over the pedestal (基座), is Goldie Belle Taylor, her

face weathered but otherwise in good condition. On this day, she is holding a bunch of pink roses because Goldie

Belle always holds flowers. Someone makes sure of that.

In 1886, at the age of two, young Goldie Belle used her hands to sop up (抹去) the left over elderberry juice from

her father’s iron kettle. She died not long after from poisoning. She was the love of her dad’upset that he sold the family farm to buy the Italian made statue, which today marks her grave.

At first, it was her father who brought the flowers and laid them in her hands. When he died in 1896, the

flowers kept coming. Her flowers are different per season. Why do the flowers keep miraculously appearing?

People have tried to find out by having camped by the statue, but not even the groundskeepers have been able to

D

In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to

keep a child occupied. Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure

time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she

won last year.

As a writer, I know about winning contests – and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a

story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a

reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the being a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can resurface in our children.

A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?”“No,” sh just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”

I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I

was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters,

conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearf ul angel starting first grade was quickly “guided”into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my

contest without even realizing it.

Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm

animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting my daughter’s experience.

While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with

more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will

be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.

75. What do we learn from the first paragraph?

A. A lot of amusements compete for children’s time nowadays.

B. Children have lots of fun doing mindless activities.

C. Rebecca is much too busy to enjoy her leisure time.

D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.

【答案】A

mindless activities to keep a child occupied.可知A正确。

A【2013届河北省邯郸市高三上学期期中】

For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.

Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at

last, we find ourselves there.

But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next

time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth,

and, of course, love.

It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards

vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably

inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the

whole world changes.

56. What does the underlined word “everything” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. All the problems.

B. All the properties.

C. The whole world.

D. The absolute truth.

57. What

can be inferred about the author?

A. The author is a Samoan.

B. The author succeeded losing weight.

C. The author has been troubled by her weight.

D. The author probably got wounded in an accident.

58.

According to the text, those who have lost weight first and gained it back later feel _______.

A. angry about the regained weight

B. indifferent to the regained weight

C. optimistic about future plans on weight control

D. they should give up their future plans on weight control

59. The text

tries to stress the importance of ____________.

A. body size

B. attitudes toward life

C. culture difference

D. different beauty standards

At Blossom End Railroad Station, 22-year-old Stanley Vine sat, waiting for his new employer. The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France. After four horrible years as an

army private fighting in Europe, Stanley had returned to England in February 1946. Armed now with some

savings and with no prospects for a job in England, he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada. Two

months later he was on his way.

When the old car rumbled toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five

a skinny

foot and four inches frame. The farmer, Alphons e Lapine, shook his head and complained, “You’re

the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids. “Money is tight.

thing.” On

farm until evening

You’ll get room and board. You’ll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the

milking time again. Ten dollars a week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm before, b he took the job.

From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed

and talked. He could do nothing right. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for

the slightest mistake. The oldest son, 13-year-old Armand, constantly played nasty tricks on him. But the

kind-hearted Stanley never responded.

Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spend his nights alone in a

tiny bedroom. However, each evening before retiring, he lovingly cared for the farmer’s horses, e him at the field gate. He called them his gentle giants. On Saturday nights he hitch-hiked into the nearest town and

wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm.

Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only six

months as his farmhand. The railway station master, when questioned later that week, said he had not seen him. In

fact no one in the community ever heard of him again. That is, until one evening, almost 20 years later, when

Armand, opened an American sp orts magazine and came across a shocking headline, “Millionaire jockey, Stanle Vine, ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion, began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.

D. Stanely read about the job offer in a newspaper.

47. What can we infer from the passage?

A. When he first met his employer, Stanley tried to impress him but failed.

B. Stanley had never worked on a farm, so he made a lot of mistakes.

C. Stanley’s weekly salary was not enough for him to live on.

D. Stanley left the farm by train, without telling anyone why he did so.

C Everyone knows about the Royal Canadian Mounted police, which was the subject of several early musical

films made in Hollywood . But nowadays the romantic red uniform jacket is only worn on special occasions , and

骑警)” as a member of this police force is known ,is not , in the famous horses are rarely seen . So the “mountie (

fact , often mounted except on a powerful motor cycle. He is a member of a very modern and efficient organization.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has responsibility for a large area, from the Great Lakes and the industrial cities near the US border up to the vast icefield and frozen lakes in the Arctic Circle. A mountie may work in the headquarters building in Ottawa , sitting at a desk like any other clerk. He may pilot a patrol (巡逻)plane across the snow-deserts in the north, where it is impossible for any other sort of vehicle to go. He may be doing customs work at the frontier. He may be in plain clothes watching for a suspicious character at an airport ,

or he may simply be driving a patrol car.

There are more than ten thousand men in this force, and it was one of these who were responsible for the arrest of James Early Ray. Police all over the world were looking for Roy after the murder of Martin Luther King.

In June 1968, a group of policemen in Canada were doing routine work with applications for passports. Suddenly one man noticed a photo which looked very much like Ray , whose description had been given to all the police departments. The name was different, but the resemblance was so strong that the police started to investigate.

They discovered that the man had already gone to Britain. The photograph and the finger-prints were sent to

the British police, who arrested Ray at London Airport, when he was just going to get on a plane for Brussels . So the murder that had shocked the world was solved by the observation of a mountie in Ottawa.

A．pilot B．clerk C．architect D．policeman

65．The Royal Canadian Mounted Police got its name because they .

A．used to ride horses B．worked in the mountains of Canada

C Tensions have erupted over some barren rocks in the Pacific that you may never have heard of, but stay tuned—this is a boundary dispute that could get ugly and some day have far-reaching consequences for China, Japan, Taiwan and the United States．

The islands in dispute are called the Senkaku chain by Japan, the Diaoyu islands by China, and the Diaoyutai by Taiwan．All three claim the islands, which are really just five small islands and three barren rocks northeast of Taiwan, 200 miles off the Chinese coast．

The latest conflict occurred when a Chinese fishing boat collided with two Japanese naval ships trying to

stop it near the islands．The Japanese prevented the Chinese captain from leaving the place for questioning and the two countries have been exchanging angry protests．

The reason to worry is that nationalists in both China and Taiwan see the slands as unquestionably theirs and think that their government has been weak in claiming this authority．

So far, wiser heads have generally won the argument on each side, but at some point a weakened Chinese leader might try to gain the legal right with the public by pushing the issue and recovering the islands．It would be a dangerous game and would have a disastrous impact on China-Japan relations, but if successful it would raise

the popularity of the Chinese government．

In reality, of course, there is zero chance that the U．S．will honor its treaty（条约）with Japan over a few barren rocks．We're not going to risk a nuclear conflict with China over some islands that may well be China's．But if we don't help, our security relationship with Japan will be at the breaking point．

So which country has a better claim to the islands? My feeling is that it's China, although the answer isn't

clear-cut．Chinese navigational records show the islands as Chinese for many centuries, and a 1783 Japanese map shows them as Chinese as well．Japan purported to "discover" the islands only in 1884 and took control of them

by force only in 1895 when it also grabbed Taiwan．

The best approach would be for China and Japan to agree to refer the dispute to the International Court of Justice, but realistically that won't happen．And since some believe that the area is rich with oil and gas reserves,

the claims from each side have become more insistent．

As Chinese nationalism grows, as China's navy and ability to project power in the ocean gains, we could see some military conflicts over the islands．

Taken from NewYork Times 59．The underlined word "purported" （in Para．5）is closest in meaning to "_____"．

A．happened B．claimed C．pretended D．intended

60．The latest conflict referred to in the passage occurred because _____．

A．the Japanese government has bought the Diaoyu Islands from the Liyuans

B．two Japanese naval ships sailed in the Chinese sea around the Diaoyu Islands

C．the Japanese kept the captain of a fishing boat from returning for questioning

D．A fishing boat collided with two Japanese naval ships by design in the Japanese sea

61．Which of the following is the author's personal idea?

A．It is the two Japanese naval ships that are to blame for the conflict．

B．It is the Chinese captain of a fishing boat that is to blame for the conflict．

C．It is the U．S．that will honor its treaty with Japan over a few barren rocks．

D．It is China that has a better claim to the islands because of its navigational records．

62．Why does the author think neither China nor Japan will agree to refer the dispute to the international Court of justice?

A．because the claim from both sides has become more insistent．

B．because Japan has navy and ability to power the Diaoyu Islands．

C．because China is developing so quickly that it will declare a war on Japan．

D．because the U．S．won't be involved in the dispute between China and Japan．

The sixth book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney will be released November 15th, just in

time for the Christmas shopping season．The book is titled Cabin Fever and will continue the funny story of middle school kid Greg Heffley．

The story begins with Greg and his friend Rowley being accused of damaging school property．It wasn't really their fault, but the authorities don't see it that way．Just when they are about to get caught, the city gets hit by a giant blizzard （暴风雪）．This is a good thing, right? Well, not so fast! Greg is now stuck at home with his family and all this gives him a bad case of cabin fever．

Kinney says that the book is not only about the claustrophobia （幽闭恐怖症）of being stuck at home for days without being able to leave, but also about getting stuck with an identity．Sometimes we get stuck a certain way when we are young and it's hard to change people's feelings of us．That's some pretty deep stuff （东西）, but we expect the book to mostly be full of silly and funny stuff that will make us laugh．

The first printing of Cabin Fever will print 6 million copies of the book．Many kids who don't like to read like the Wimpy Kid books because of the combination of cartoons, story, and comedy．Cabin Fever, like the other five, will have 224 pages of cartoons and funny events in the life of Greg Heffley as he sits out his holidays snowbound at home．

They are generally recommended for kids 8 to 11 years of age, but older kids （even adults）may find them

funny as they remember what it was like to be in middle school．

55．The underlined phrase "not so fast" in Paragraph 2 probably means that _____:

A．Greg got away with breaking the rules so fast．

B．Greg hadn't thought the weather changed abruptly．

C．Things developed in a quite different way．

D．Good luck the blizzard brought came slowly．

56．What can we know about Cabin Fever?

A．It continues the story of a middle school student Rowley．

B．It will appear on the market on Christmas Day．

C．It is about an exciting public winter holidays．

D．It contains a lot of pictures and funny stuff．

57．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Jeff Kinney has written six books in all．

B．Jeff Kinney intends the book Cabin Fever for kids only．

C．Wimpy Kid books are printed 6 million copies altogether．

D．Cabin Fever has a lot in common with other Wimpy Kid books．

58．The purpose of writing the passage is to ______．

A．promote sales B．give opinions

C．offer information D．make a comment

2020-2021高考英语阅读理解综合题汇编及答案解析

一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Gemini Man Gemini Man is a big-budget Hollywood sci-fi-action movie based on an original concept, rather than on a superhero comic or an old TV series, even though this particular original concept is more 20 years old. In it a government assassin (杀手)is being hunted down by his own clone The original script was sold by Darren Lemke to a studio in 1997, and since then almost every male A-listener has been attached as a potential star. Now, at long last, Ang Lee has directed Gemini Man, and Will Smith plays both the veteran assassin and his much younger doppelganger (分身). Jojo Rabbit During World War Two, a 10-year-old German boy (Roman Griffin David) is desperate to be a dutiful Nazi, only to discover that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding, a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their house. It may not sound like the stuff of a big-hearted comedy but Taika Waititi can make anything warm and funny. As well as writing and directing Jojo Rabbit, Waititi co-stars as the boy's imaginary friend,a nitwitted Adolf Hitler. Doctor Sleep Mike Flanag's new film is adapted from Stephen King, novel, Doctor Sleep, which was a sequel (续集) to The Shining. You can expect to see blood flowing out of lifts in a rapid stream, ghostly twin girls and headache-including carpet patterns. Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance, the boy with psychic powers m 1980 film. Now, he is a middle-aged hospital counsellor. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Here's another chance to see Angelina Jolie. In 2014 she starred in Maleficent, Disney's live-action remake of the Sleeping Beauty cartoon from 1959. The twist was that the eponymous wicked fairy wasn't so wicked, after all, and that the real villain was the father of Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning). The sequel's subtitle promises that Maleficent will actually be evil this time around, her change of heart prompted by Aurora's engagement to handsome prince (Harris Dickinson).（1）What can we learn from this passage? A. Ewan McGregor plays a role in Doctor Sleep. B. Taika Waititi is the main character in Jojo Rabbit. C. Gemini Man is adapted from a 20-yem--old TV series. D. The real wicked character in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is Aurora. （2）If your friend wants to see a horror movie, which one will you recommend? A. Gemini Man B. Jojo Babbit C. Doctor Sleep D. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil 【答案】（1）A （2）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了四部电影。 （1）考查细节理解。根据Doctor Sleep部分中的“Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance, the boy w ith psychic powers in 1980 film.”可知Ewan McGregor在电影Doctor Sleep扮演Danny Torrance的角色。故选A。

阅读理解训练50篇（1） 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC．In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1．“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________. A．the emotion is harmless B．the emotion is harmful C．the feeling is very strong D．the feeling is hard 2．What statement is right? A．Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症).

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案) 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 Plateau B. A Variety of Bans on Vehicles in Mexico C. Should Cities Be Car-free Zones D. How to Improve Air Quality 【答案】（1）A （2）B （3）D （4）C

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.

I watched from a distance as the homeless man quarreled with those who did not leave money for him – the majority. I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter. ―I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story.‖ He laughed, ―You’ll give me a quarter for my story?‖ I lay the quarter in front of him and corrected myself –―Nah, here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.‖ I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment I saw a glimmer of reflection. I sat down next to him and waited. ―I was in the army,‖ he said. ―I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the enemy from the distance.‖ I listened carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. He wore dirty old torn clothes and smelled like a dead rat left in a mouse trap. He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed. When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set out to fight in Iraq. It wasn’t long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth. He became disillusioned with the killings, which he felt were of innocent people. ―I was a sniper but I never really killed anyone,‖ he said. ―One day I had to do it. They asked me to shoot this lady from the distance. I saw kids near that lady and my hands were on the trigger (扳机). Man, I was tearing up ... I couldn’t do it. She wasn’t doing anything to anyone and she was with the kids—I couldn’t see through my tears. It just didn’t make any sense to me.‖ The story goes on as he describes eventually being put into prison for 180 days for refusing to follow orders. He told me how he was black listed so that he couldn’t get a job. All the rights we take for granted were taken away from him. Why? Here was a man who was being punished—and for what? For refusing to kill the lady? For being a hero? ―I have no regrets,‖ the homeless man said. ―I may be homeless now, but I never killed that lady. I never killed anyone in the army. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t go there to do that. I went there to save people.‖ He continued, ―I can live with being homeless—that’s okay. But I wouldn’t be able to live with killing innocent people.‖ On that lonely Friday night, I met a hero. It just never occurred to me that a hero could be a smelly old man left on streets. 1. It can be learned from the passage that the homeless man_______. （） A. never killed animals B. had a strong respect for life C. deserved the punishment he received D. felt guilty about disobeying the order

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

新高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编(70)

2017高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编（70） 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 “Experience may possibly be the best teacher,but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words,but they actually come from James March,a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years March(possibly the wisest philosopher of management)has studied how humans think and act,and he continues to do so in his new bookThe Ambiguities of Experience. He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning:“Experience is respected;experience is sought;experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及)serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book. In one interesting part of the book,for example,he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting,he argues,we lose part of the complicated truth of things. He says “The more accurately(精确地)reality is presented,the less understandable the story,and the more understandable the stor y,the less realistic it is.” Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher,March is also a poet,and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short,it is demanding:Don’t pick it up lookin g for quick,easy lessons. Rather,be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life. 1. According to the text,James March is. A. a poet who uses experience in his writing B. a teacher who teaches story writing in university C. a researcher who studies the way humans think and act D. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions 2. According to James March,experience. A. is overvalued B. is easy to explain C. should be actively sought D. should be highly respected
