一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类

1．阅读理解

Half a Day

I walked alongside my father, holding his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.

"Why school?" I asked my father. "What have I done?"

"I'm not punishing you," he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don't you want to be useful like your brothers?"

I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.

When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by you," said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others."

I hesitated and squeezed his hand firmly, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man", he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave."

I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?"

"My father," I whispered.

"My father's dead," he said simply.

I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along and said, "This is your new home. There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully."

Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者第一天去学校的时候并不开心，但是等他到了学校之后，他结交了很多朋友，开始了新的生活。

（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.”可知穿新衣服并没有让作者开心，因为他要第一次被扔进学校了；再根据第四段中的“I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.”可知作者不相信将他从家中撕裂并被扔进这座巨大的高墙建筑（也就是学校）中真的有什么好处。综合可知作者认为去学校不好，去学校的路上是不开心的，沮丧的，故选C。（2）考查细节理解。根据第五段中的"Go in by you, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. "可知作者的父亲对他说："进去吧，加入他们的行列。面带微笑，成为他人的好榜样。"也就是作者的父亲让他面带微笑，故选A。（3）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“A lady came along and said, "Th is is your new home. …and face life joyfully. ”；以及最后一段中的"Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends.“可知老师过来对作者他们说了一番话，作者听了这番话之后觉得之前自己的顾虑是毫无根据的，打消了顾虑。他一开始就交到了很多朋友。这说明老师帮助作者在学校的第一天过得很好，他的同学也和他成为了朋友。故选A。

（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的”From the first moments I made many friends. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.“可知从一开始我就结交了很多朋友。我从未想象过学校会有如此丰富的经历。由此推断之后作者会在学校开始新的生活，会有丰富的经历，故选C。

2．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 World

B. with the Pittsburgh Dispatch

C. to interview mental patients

D. 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。为了能调查清楚事实,她扮成乞丐,女仆,神经病患者。她不顾自己的工作甚至安危的态度,让她成了美国历史上著名的女记者。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"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,"可知,Bly写信谴责Pittsburgh dispatch的文章,却因为她的勇气被主编雇佣了。故选B。

（2）考查词义猜测。根据该句中的"angry letter" 可知她信的内容是批评Pittsburgh dispatch的文章。A. Praising表扬；B. Questioning.质问；C. Informing.告知；D. Condemning.谴责选项中和批评相近的选项是condemn（谴责）。故选D。

（3）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"She quickly became famous for undercover stories about women in a mental hospital."她很快因为揭露精神病院女性的故事而名声大振）可知,Bly是因为报道女性故事而出名的。故选C。

（4）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"a courageous reporter like Nellie Bly"可知她是勇敢的,

再通过下文讲述她卧底去调查女性事件,说明她是实事求是的人。故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，同时根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。

3．阅读理解

A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the "Nobel Prize" of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.

Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize --- the highest accolade in the field of animal conservation --- for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel from becoming the next Great Auk.

When the 61-year-old first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding (人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds' nests and hatching(孵化)them under incubators, prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.

A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. The biologist has also been necessary in efforts to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler.

Prof Jones was awarded the $250,000 (￡172,000) prize at a ceremony in London.

"As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didn't enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticism I received," reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Maurutius kestrel project had been seen as a "dead loss" at the time. In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.

Prof Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only becoming a father for the first time eight years ago, at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved that his work to save birds was right.

（1）What does the underlined word "accolade" mean in Paragraph 2?

A. return

B. level

C. honor

D. research

（2）According to the passage, Great Auk is ________.

A. an endangered bird

B. an extinct bird

C. a popular bird

D. a fierce bird （3）What can we know from the figures in Paragraph 4?

A. Taking eggs from the nests has worked well.

B. The wild environment for kestrel has changed a lot.

C. Kestrel has adapted to the life in the wild.

D. It's difficult to protect kestrel.

（4）Prof Jones' idea of taking eggs from the birds' nests ________.

A. was proved of no use

B. was widely accepted

C. was promoted officially

D. was criticized by some people

【答案】（1）C

（2）B

（3）A

（4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了生物学家Carl Jones通过人工繁殖的方式是濒临灭绝的鸟类的数量逐渐增加，并且因此获得了2016年的印第安的波利斯奖。

（1）考查词义猜测。第二段中的“for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel from becoming the next Great Auk.”是对前面句子的补充说明，再由“won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize”可推知，这里的accolade与获奖有关，故选C。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“where he saved an endangered kestrel from becom ing the next Great Auk”可知，他保护了濒临灭绝的红隼，使他免于遭受Great Auk的情况，因此可知Great Auk是一种已经灭绝的鸟类，选B。

（3）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. ”可知红隼的数量已经开始增加了，所以推断出人工繁殖的方法很有效，故选A。

（4）考查细节理解。根据第一段“A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the "Nobel Prize" of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.”；以及倒数第二段中的“In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.”可知Jones教授从稀有鸟类的巢穴中取出鸟蛋的行为被一些人批评，故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，同时根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。

5．阅读理解

It was a morning in January. The jet stream (急流)had dipped down, causing the Arctic cold to reach the mountains of my home. It was only 2 degrees outside, but the cold wind made it feel like it was 15 below zero. Still, I was kneeling in the snow alongside my house trying to open a tiny door, so I eoukl get in. 1 had forgotten to leave my water dripping the night before and now my water pipes were frozen and my faucets(水龙头)were dry.

The wind cut into me like a knife while I struggled to get two electric heaters in place around the section of frozen pipes. The waterlines were buried except for a small piece that connected up to my house. I put a heater on each side of it, ran the extension cords(软线)into my house and plugged them in. Both heaters roared to life and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipes. My fingers had already started to go numb, so I stayed inside to wait. I could only hope that this bit of warmth could get my water flowing again. Finally, after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again. I went back outside into the biller cold and gathered my heaters up. I looked at the weak January sun shining on the frozen snow and smiled. Then I sent a joy filled with "Thank you" heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast.

Sometimes the coldness of this life can get to us as well. It can make our hearts feel icy and frozen. It can keep our kindness and love from flowing out to others. Sometimes, though, all we need is a bit of warnth to get us going again. It can be a simple smile, a kind word, a heart-felt hug, a morning sunrise, a bird's song or any gentle reminder of just how much God loves us. Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of wannth for others every chance we get.

6．阅读理解

At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola, Peru, came up with the creative idea of an eco-bank which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially wise while helping the environment.

Established in 2012, The Bartselana Student Bank is the world's first cooperative bank for kids. Whoever wants to join has to bring in at least 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of solid waste (paper or plastic) and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank "partners" are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram (2* 2 pounds) of recydables on a monthly basis and obey other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individual's account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target.

"At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project," Jose recalls. "They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom."

The youngster's persistence paid off. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers and begins accepting applications from kids

all across Peru. On November 20, 2018, the young boy was awarded the famous Children's Climate Prize (CCP). "Jose's eco-bank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate impact, both in thought and practice. The potential impact is amazing", a judge said.

Hopefully, Jose's success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment. As the boy says, "Together we can change the world, we just need an opportunity."

（1）For what purpose was the eco-bank created?

A. To educate children how to spend their allowances.

B. To help children break away from their parents.

C. To raise children's awareness of money and environment

D. To encourage children to buy whatever they want.

（2）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A. The history of the eco-bank

B. The requirements of membership,

C. The wisest way to deal with waste

D. The process of how the eco-bank works.

（3）What challenge did Jose meet at the beginning when opening the eco-bank?

A. Lack of enough support.

B. Lack of experience.

C. Lack of investment.

D. Lack of workers.

（4）What can we learn from the last two Paragraphs?

A. The boy's efforts were made in vain.

B. The eco-bank was highly appreciated.

C. The judge thought poorly of the eco-bank.

D. The boy's success had no practical values.

（5）What can be a suitable title for the text?

C. An Opportunity to Change the World.

D. An Eco-bank, Economical and Ecological

7．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

We've all had cases where we've waited just a bit too long to pay an electric bill or speeding ticket. But one man, from California by reasonable assumption, who goes by "Dave", recently took procrastination (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a half-century after it was given.

In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown, so he put the return address as "Wayward Road, Anytown California" under the name "Feeling guilty". When the officers opened the envelope, they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974. The note read, "Dear PD, I've been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don't give you my info. With respect, Dave."

Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, "Dave" must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent, or $3, in interest.

Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it were given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate.

Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to out-of-state cars back then, "Dave" could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine. But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date.

（1）How much do we know about "Dave"?

A. He lives in Wayward Road, Anytown California.

B. The police are trying to find out more about him.

C. His car probably came from Ohio at that time.

D. "Dave" is of course the man's real name indeed.

（2）Why didn't "Dave" pay for the parking ticket until recently?

A. He completely forgot about it in the past 44 years.

B. He didn't find it until almost half a century later.

C. He failed to find out who he should pay the money to.

D. He didn't pay for it just because of procrastination.

（3）What drove "Dave" to pay for the parking ticket at last?

A. A strong sense of guilt.

B. Fear of being tracked by the police.

C. Worry about being fined more.

D. Sudden change of his financial situation.

（4）Which of the following can be the best title?

A. Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department Shares a Story

B. Mysterious Procrastinator Finally Pays 44-Year-Old Parking Ticket

C. Unusual Letter Comes from Wayward Road Anytown California

D. Parking Ticket Carried Around for Almost Half a Century from Ohio

【答案】（1）C

（2）D

（3）A

（4）B

8．阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

For Kim Duffy, sending away her teenage daughter was the best hope for saving the girl's life. Corinne, then 17, had been struggling with bulimia (贪食症) and anorexia (厌食症) for more than five years. Duffy and her husband, Terry, found a residential facility in Virginia, and Corinne signed on for a two-month stay in the summer of 2009.

Today, Corinne's healthy and pursuing a master's degree in Colorado. She and her parents believe the holistic (整体) approach and individualized focus were key to her recovery. And they know they had access to unique resources. "We were fortunate," says Duffy. "We could pay for everything."

But many can't. According to a report released in November 2014 by the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, between 600, 000 and one million Canadians suffer from an eating disorder. Public in patient programs often won't admit patients until they're in life-threatening condition. Private clinics often have a long waitlists and high costs-at Homewood, in Guelph, Ont., a room is $ 305 to $360 per day.

The Duffs' struggle led then to connect other families with the quality of care they received in the United Sates. In late 2013, hey founded the WaterStone Clinic, a private eating disorder center in Toronto.

Since the facility opened, 170 clients have received treatment. They take yoga, do art therapy and participate in meal preparation, building real-life skills with a support team. Programs run weekdays from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m., and notably, so far WaterStone has no waiting list.

But this approach is costly: approximately $650 per day. Realizing that the price tag puts WaterStone out of reach for many, the Duffys created the WaterStone Foundation-a charity that provides aid to patients who can't afford treatment the following year. Candidates are assessed by two committees that make a decision based on clinical and financial need. Since 2014, the foundation has helped 100 people.

Duffy also wants to change the public system. In June of this year, the foundation awarded ＄170, 000 to four Ontario hopitals offering creative treatment to eating disorder patients. "Yes, people need private treatment," she says, "but it's important to help out on a broader scale, too."（1）Why did Duffy think they were fortunate?

A. They had enough money to travel abroad.

B. They could afford the medical resources.

C. They happened to find a right hospital.

D. They met very experienced doctors.

（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. Public hospitals cannot treat patients with eating disorder.

B. Many people die from eating disorder in Canadian public hospitals.

C. A lot of eating disorder patients have no access to proper treatment.

D. In private clinics eating disorder patients will receive timely treatment.

（3）Which of the following patients will receive help from WaterStone Foundation?

A. Poor ones who suffer from the disease.

B. Ones who are rejected by public hospitals.

C. Ones who are facing death.

D. old ones who are poor.

（4）What do we know from Duffy's words in the last paragraph?

A. Only private clinics can give proper treatment to the patients.

B. Treatment of the disease in public hospitals should be improved.

C. She wants to cooperate with public hospitals to help the patients.

D. Public hospitals should do more to help people with eating disorder.

【答案】（1）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一对加拿大夫妇为了帮助有厌食症和贪食症的病人而创立了私人诊所以及为帮助贫穷病患者而设立慈善机构的故事。体现了人们要相互关怀互相帮助的人文思想。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"We were lucky. We could pay for everything."可知，他们支付得起医疗费用，因此感到很幸运，故选B。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“But many can't. According to a report released in November 2014 by the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, between 600, 000 and one million Canadians suffer from an eating disorder. Public in patient programs often won't admit patients until they're in life-threatening condition.”可知，但是很多人都支付不起这笔费用，很多人患有饮食问题，住院部只会收纳那些有生命危险的病人，而私人诊所的费用却很高昂，可知很多人不能享受医疗服务，故选C。

（3）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的"…a charity that provides aid to patients who can't afford treatment…"以及"Candidates are assessed by two committees that make a decision based on clinical and financial need"。满足两个条件就可以获得WaterStone Foundation的赞助：付不起款的，并且病状严重者，故选A。

（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"…but it's important to help out on a broader scale…"意思是在更大范围内给这样的病人提供帮助是重要的。言外之意就是公立医院应该更多的帮助这类病人，故选D。

9．阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Losing a wallet is one of those careless acts most of us have come across, at some point or the other in our lives. While most of us tend to move on after mourning over the lost necessities, there are a few lucky ones who get them back, with the help of the police or the generosity of the person who finds it.

And then there is Hunter Shamatt, who not only got back his wallet but with some added happiness that was tagged along!

Hunter was on his way to attend his sister's wedding on a Las Vegas-bound flight when he realized that he has misplaced his wallet, sometime during the journey. Hunter's family reached out to the Frontier flight to enquire if someone had handed it over to them. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the missing wallet.

But wait. The story was far from over. Just a week after Hunter's sister's wedding, he received a package in his mail. And guess what? There was his wallet! Surprisingly, the wallet was not the only thing that was inside the package. It also had a handwritten note for Hunter which turned out to be a bonus! The piece of paper read,

"Hunter, Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver —row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall. Thought you might want it back. All the best.

P.S. I rounded your cash up to an even $100, so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. HAVE FUN!!!"

Moved by the touching gesture, Hunter's mom, Jeannie Shamatt, decided to write a post on Facebook giving a detailed description of the incident. She also urged everyone to share the post as she would like to meet and greet the person behind the act of kindness, personally.

Now, thanks to the astonishing power of social media, the post finally reached the man behind the note. The man was identified as Todd Brown and it was one of his co-workers who made sure Jeannie Shamatt's post reaches his colleague. Jeannie turned to Facebook again to thank Brown and his family for restoring her faith in humanity.

"I try to teach my children to do the right things in life, help people when you can regardless of the outcome. This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything. We hear a lot of bad news but not enough good news. I personally want to thank Todd Brown and his wife for restoring faith that there are amazing people out there."

10．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.

More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison's blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.

"Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it," Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. "It's an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it." Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of

blood almost every week. He's made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.

"I'd keep going if they let me," Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don't take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they're cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save. Harrison's retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison's retirement from giving blood doesn't mean he's completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.

（1）What do we know about James Harrison?

A.He saved 2.4 million poor people.

B.He is to retire as a blood donor.

C.He is a very grateful blood donor.

D.He donates blood nearly every day.

（2）What is the author's purpose of writing Paragraph 4?

A.To state Harrison's decision to continue donating blood.

B.To describe how Harrison's donations come to an end.

C.To introduce some babies saved by Harrison's blood.

D.To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.

（3）What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?

A.After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.

B.New donors are easy to find in a short time.

C.He continues to contribute to the Rh program.

D.His DNA is kept in a library for future study.

（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type

B.The Blood Saving Millions of Babies

C.A Special Blood producer

D.The Man with the Golden Arm

【答案】（1）C

（2）B

（3）C

（4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一位澳大利亚男子在他14岁时，因为他的病，急需要血液，别人帮他输血救了他的生命，他决定一旦年满18岁，就开始尽可能定期献血。他一直捐献自己极其罕见的血液来救别人，60多年里，献血将近1200次，救了240万婴儿的生命。

（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could."以及第二段中的"More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4

million babies from miscarriages"可知，他决定一旦年满18岁，就开始尽可能定期献血。60多年内，他献血将近1200次。他的血液中含有一种抗体，这种抗体挽救了240万婴儿的生命。所以哈里森兑现了他14岁许下的诺言，60多年内，他献血将近1200次。挽救了240万婴儿的生命。故通过关键词"begin donating blood as regularly, 60 years, 1, 200 donations, save"可以判断出，哈里森是个非常感恩的献血者。故选C。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"His doctors said it was time to stop the donations —and they certainly don't take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they're cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save"可知，他的医生说，是时候停止捐赠了，他们当然不会轻易接受。他们已经延长了他献血的年龄限制，现在为了保护他的健康，他要停止献血。他做了最后一次捐赠，他的血液挽救了一些母亲和婴儿的生命。所以通过医生所说的话，可以判断出，第四段的目的是描述哈里森的献血是如何结束的。故选B。

（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"But Harrison's retirement from giving blood doesn't mean he's completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia."可知，但是，哈里森从献血退休并不意味着他完全退出了，科学家们正在收集和编目他的DNA，以建立一个抗体和白血球库，这可能是澳大利亚抗-D计划的未来。所以尽管哈里森已经退休，但他并不是完全退出，因为围绕着他血液的研究会一直进行下去，所以哈里森会继续为Rh项目做出贡献。故选C。

（4）考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，短文叙述了一位澳大利亚男子在他14岁时，因为他的病，急需血液，别人帮他输血救了他的生命，他决定一旦年满18岁，就开始尽可能定期献血。他一直捐献自己极其罕见的血液来救别人，60多年里，献血将近1200次，救了超过二百万婴儿的故事。所以短文主要在叙述一位有极其珍贵的手臂的人，是这样的手臂输出的血液，救了这么多的人。故短文的最佳标题为“一位有极其珍贵的手臂的人”。故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和主旨大意两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生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。

(英语)英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析

（英语）英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析 一、阅读理解 1．根据短文内容选择正确答案。 D If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming. Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance. When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chan ces all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she w asn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted. She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ours elves. The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty. （1）From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that . A. being out of work is a sad thing B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting C. life in a film is more exciting than real life. D. chance never appears when we need it （2）What troubles Allison after graduation? A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job. B. She had no money to start a business. C. She was not sure what to do. D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school. （3）How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience? A. Uncertain. B. Amazed . C. Sorry. D. Satisfied. （4）What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析

一、中考英语阅读理解汇编 1．阅读理解 Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally（情感上）. Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent. Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force（强迫） their child to love science, too. But what if their child's true love is art writing, or car repair? Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking. The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books, newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable. （1）________might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience, according to the passage. A. A parent. B. Either a teacher or a parent. C. A teacher. D. Neither a teacher nor a parent. （2）The underlined phrase "pass on" in the 3rd paragraph means________. A. 路过 B. 继承 C. 传递 D. 领悟 （3）When children get older, they________. A. don't believe their parents any more B. should always believe what their parents do C. believe that their parents are always right D. begin to have their own ways of thinking （4）What is the best title of the passage? A. Never grow up B. Believe your parents forever C. Are parents always the best teachers? D. How many teachers can we have in our lives 【答案】（1）C （2）C （3）D （4）C 【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要讲述了作者很高兴与父母的关系很好，同时讲述了 父母是孩子生活中最重要的老师。 （1）细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句：a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. 可知老师可能会认为去大城市旅行是一次宝贵的经历，故正确答案是C。 （2）词义猜测题。根据后面句子But should children always believe what their parents do？ 但是孩子们应该永远相信他们的父母吗？前面应该父母传递他们的思想给孩子，故正确答 案是C。 （3）细节理解题。根据短文第三段最后一句But when they get older，they will have different ways of thinking．可知，孩子长大后有了自己的思维了，故正确答案为D。
