一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷
1．阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Social media plays an important role in our lives. We check our social
media accounts(账户) such as emails and Facebook almost every day. Lately, people like posting pictures j ust for the purpose of getting others' attention through their “flowers”, no matter whether these pictures are good or not. Recently, I was very annoyed with these types of posts, so I decided to stop using social media for one week.
After not using social media for a week, I can honestly say that everything has changed. Before last week, I used to check Facebook more than five times a day, as well as of my other social accounts, and I couldn't understand why I did that. Now I check Facebook much less.
People are so obsess(迷恋的) with posting pictures that have no meaning to them just for the purpose of posting something online. Whenever I look at Instagram, all of the comments on pictures are the same. People depend on how many “likes” they get on wha t they post as an achievement. I just want to say, “None of it matters!” As I start to fully understand this now, I wonder why I have social media if all of this annoys me so much. But then I realize that I actually post meaningful things that my friends enjoy, and to me, that's more important than getting “likes” on a picture.
Maybe as a society, we are using social media wrongly. I think we sometimes forget that social media helps us contact with people who are far away from us. I think it's a beautiful thing that I am able to go on Facebook and feel connected with people that I don't have the opportunity of seeing every single day anymore.

（3）According to the writer, people should use social media to ______.
A. receive important comments

I sighed． Part of me wanted to say how good she looked, but another part stopped the words coming out．Jenny was in such good shape that she'd look good in the outfit．Sometimes, I regretted choosing a best friend who was so pretty．God，why can't I be the one with the rich parents and the great look?More and more， I was envious(妒忌的)of her．

3．阅读理解
One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. "Sweetie, my company wants to promote(升职) me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that you've done well and allowing you to skip(跳) a grade, but you'll have to leave your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?" She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was lost in thought. The question kept me wondering for the rest of the night. I had said "Yes" but for the first time, I realized the difficult decisions adults had to make.
For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I'd eagerly wait for the phone to ring and then tell her everything that happened during the day. A phone call, however, could never take her place and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.
During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large empty apartment. It was then I started to understand the difficult choices she had to make. She needed to think about both family and work. Faced with difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn't know whether you made the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with a positive attitude.
Back home, I reminded myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she managed to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be independent. I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable goals.
My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the experience has really taught me. I've learned a lot because of this separation(分离). There are lots of difficult decisions that we have to face in our life. We need to have a positive attitude no matter what happens.
（1）It was __________ for the writer to say "Yes" to her mother s question.
A. excited
B. difficult
C. unusual
D. easy

A. I thought my mother might regret her decision.

D. I realized my mother had a happy time in Brazil herself.
（3）The writer most probably wants to tell us that __________.

C. she has learnt a lot from the experience
D. adults have to face the difficult decisions
【答案】（1）B

Good Neighbours
Mr. and Mrs. March lived together with their four daughters. Amy was very shy. Beth loved being at home. Meg looked very pretty. Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people. Next to them lived old Mr. Laurence and his grandson, Laurie. They lived in a very large and comfortable house. But it was a house without life.
One day, Joe saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden. Jo's sisters were playing in the snow there. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. But Laurie's face was very sad.
"Poor boy!" Jo thought. "He's all alone. He needs some friends." She couldn't stop thinking
about him. She wanted to go and see him, but how could she go to the house without an invitation?
Then one snowy afternoon, she saw Laurie's grandpa go out. This gave her an idea. She took a broom from the kitchen.
"What are you going to do, Jo?" asked her sister Meg.
"To clear the garden path." Answered Jo.
When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face.
Jo laughed and shouted, "How are you? Are you ill?"
Laurie opened the window and said," I'm better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week".
"I'm sorry," said Jo. "Are you bored?"
"Yes, very." he replied.
"Don't your friends come to visit you?"
"No. But I don't want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache."
"Girls are quiet."
"I don't know any girls."
"You know us."
"That's true! Can you come and visit me?" cried Laurie.
"I'm not quiet, but I'd like to come," replied Jo. "I must ask Mother first." She ran back into her house.
A few minutes later, she returned and rang the bell on the door of Laurie's house. A servant took her upstairs.
"Here I am!" she said brightly. "Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange (牛奶冻) for you."
"That looks delicious," Laurie said. He was very happy to see Jo.
Jo looked around. There were lots of books on the shelves.
"A nice room!" she said. "I can read to you if you like."
"No, let's talk," replied Laurie.
"All right," said Jo, "I can talk for hours. My sisters say I never know when to stop."
"You have three sisters—Amy, Beth and Meg." Laurie continued.
"How do you know this?" Jo was surprised.
"You call each other's names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven't got a mother." Jo felt sad when she heard this.
"Why don't you come and visit us?" she said, "It isn't good for you to stay in this house all the time."
"Thank you. I'd like to come very much." Said Laurie.
"We know all our neighbours except you." Jo said, "I'm glad we're friends now."
She told him about all the interesting things in her life. She said," Besides(除了……之外) plays, I also love books." Laurie loved books too, and offered to show her the library in the house. The library was a wonderful room. Jo loved it.
"Wow!" she said, "All those books!"
Laurie said, "A person needs more than books."

6．阅读下面短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the north-east of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 177 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and the cool summer night while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.
Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war over 1, 500 years ago, and built homes there.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing special but when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little.
Now the city has gone down by 23 centimetres. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化).
Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.
（1）According to the passage, Venice is ________ of Italy.
A. in the north-east

A. changed into
B. turned into
C. became
D. developed from
（4）Which is NOT the reason why the city gets lower and lower?

B. Overused underground water.
C. Too many waterways.
D. The rising seawater.
（5）The passage is mainly about ________ of Venice.
A. the waterways and bridges
B. the MOST project and problems

【答案】（1）A
（2）B

7．阅读理解
What do you see when you look at abstract (抽象的)art? Can you understand it? Does it look like anything?
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic(现实的). They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his "blue period"). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his "rose period"). Many of his other paintings are called "cubist (立体派的)" because they are made of painted squares.
After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didn't understand it.
Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists (超现实主义画家)，were interested in subconsciousness (潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.
There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.
（1）Which would be most like abstract art?
A. A painting of a house.
B. A sculpture of a car.
C. A drawing of two people in a coffee house.
D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.
（2）What happened to Picasso's work after a long time?
A. It became more abstract.
B. It became less strange.
C. He went from using red colours to using blue colours.
D. He only painted with coloured squares.
（3）How did Kandinsky express feelings?
