干扰项特点

1. 以偏概全。干扰项只阐述了文章的一部分内容，也就是文章的局部信息。

2. 断章取义。干扰项常常以文章中的个别信息或个别字眼作为选项的设置内容，或者

以次要的事实或细节冒充全文的主要观点。

3. 主题扩大。干扰项所归纳、概括的范围过大，超过文章实际所讨论的内容。

4. 张冠李戴。命题者有意地把属于A的特征放在B的身上，构成一个干扰项。考生不

注意的情况下，会造成错选答案。

5. 无中生有或似是而非。有的干扰项中的关键词语好像在文章中谈到了，但认真分析

之后你会发现这类干扰项的内容与文章的内容毫无联系。

解题指导

1.分清主次，抓住主干，找出主题句。

主题句是归纳表达文章中心思想的句子,它的出现有四种情况:

1）主题句在开头?主题句出现在段落或文章的开头部分,起着开宗明义?点明主题的作用,

它可以使读者一开始就明白文章所讲的内容主旨?而支撑句则使用一些具体的人、物、数字

或具体的步骤来阐述或论证主题，常伴有for example\ i.e. \that is \first\ second \ finally \once

\another time \for one thing 等词。例如:

In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful

animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day, Nearly

four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.

54. what is the theme of the story?（2010年湖北卷A篇）

A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness

B. Fishing provides excitement for children

C. It’s necessary to live in harmony with animals

D. It’s vital to protect the environment

54. 答案：A 考点：：考查主旨大意从文章最后一段可以概括出来

My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with

respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.

59. What is the message mainly expressed in the story?（2010年重庆卷A篇）

A. We should learn to be generous.

B. It is honorable to help those in need.

C. People in high positions are not like what we expect.

D. We should avoid judging people by their appearances.

解析：主旨大意题。根据文章最后一句Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I

think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity. 可知，作者想要表

达的是不要以貌取人。由此判断选D项。

We often don’t remember things as well when we’re trying to manage several details at the same time. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in,

so it never makes it into our memory stores. That is one of the main reasons we forget people

names---even sometimes right after they have introduced themselves. Multitasking can also affect

our relationships. If someone checks their e-mail while on the phone with a friend, they may come

off as absent-minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss or overlook key information being passed on to them.

52. What is the main idea of the passage? （2010年浙江卷C篇）

A. Multitasking has become a way of life.

B. Multitasking often leads to efficiency decline.

C. Multitasking exercises need to be improved.

D. Multitasking enables people to remember things better.

解析：主旨大意题。最后一段中作者继续描述了之前的观点：一个人同时从事多项工作会出

现很多问题。回到整篇文章，作者主要观点就是告诉大家：多项工作不能产生高效的结果，

故选择B。

【考例分析1】71. The passage is mainly about . (2009 江西卷)

A. honour and writers

B. identity and signature

C. signature and responsibility

D. anonymity and signature 【答案】 C

【解析】考生可以快速浏览每段首尾两句来确定每段的主题句，从而确定文章的主题句。例如文章首段就举例引出名字和责任的关系，从最后一句Responsibility is the name of the game可看出；第二段和第三段分别举出两个反例来论证，注意两段的开头的关键短语to accept responsibility for the relationship和remain anonymous for various reasons。最后一段总结，与首段形成照应。A项是断章取义。命题者利用最后一段中的honour来命题，从而设置干扰项。B、D两项是以偏概全。Identity和anonymity只是在第三段提及。

【考例分析2】60. What is the text mainly about?（2009 湖南卷）

A. The research into war history.

B. The finding of a forgotten hero.

C. The pilots of the two world wars.

D. The importance of military studies.

【解析】文章讲述由一张旧报纸上的照片重新发现英雄McKayde过程以及对McKay的了解和评价，所以B项正确。文章首段便是主题句。A项断章取义，文章只是提到了一战，并

非讲述历史；C项似是而非，命题根据文中的pilot来设题迷惑考生，实际上只是讲述了一

战时的一位飞行员；D项无中生有，根本没有提及军事研究的重要性。

【考例分析3】45. What is the passage mainly about? （2009天津卷）

A. The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.

B. The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.

C. The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.

D. The author’s experiences of

using broken English. 【答案】A

【解析】文章讲述的是作者对母亲的broken English由开始的“认为是不完美的（imperfect）”　到后来逐渐认识到母亲的语言“内涵丰富”的一个变化过程。首段点明主旨，

末段最后一句与之形成照应。B、C两项均以偏概全。B项是对第二、三段的概括，C项是对最后一段的概括。D项是张冠李戴，实际上是作者的母亲的经验。

2）主题句在结尾?用归纳法写的文章,其结构是表述细节的句子放在前面,概述性的句子放在后面,并以此而结尾,所以结尾的句子起着总结归纳?画龙点睛的作用，多伴有so \therefore\thus \in short\ as a result\that is why 等词。例如:

【考例分析4】71. What is the main idea of the passage? （2009 北京卷）

A. Music education deserves more attention.

B. Music should be of top education priority.

C. Music is an effective communication tool.

D. Music education makes students more imaginative.【答案】 A

【解析】文章强调音乐教育的重要性，应当引起人们的广泛关注。最后一段的“So music

是主题句。B项无中生有，文章没education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.”

有提及top education priority；C项是以偏概全，只是第四段的大意；D项是断章取义，命题

者以第四段中的imagination为出题依据来迷惑考生。

【考例分析5】75. What is the main idea of the passage?（2009 重庆卷）

A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.

B. The development of science mostly lies in people's attitudes.

C. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.

D. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.【答案】 B.

【解析】文章主要讲述了科学向好的方向还是坏的方向发展主要由人的态度决定。最后

一段点明主旨；A是项以偏概全，是第四段的大意；C项也是以偏概全，是第二段的大意；

D项断章取义，命题者根据文中的dangerous 和idea来出题迷惑考生，而实质上并没有表达

这样的意思。

【考例分析6】68. What is the text mainly about? （2009 湖南卷）

A. Fish dieting and human dieting.

B. Dieting and health.

C. Human dieting.

D. Fish dieting. 【答案】D

【解析】本文主要讲述了鱼类保持身体瘦小的原因。末段首句是文章的主题句。A项主题扩大，文章开始使用了人类瘦身与鱼类瘦身相类比，目的在于引起读者的兴趣，但不是文章叙述的主要内容。B项无中生有，文章并没有提及health。C项断章取义，文章只是用human dieting来衬托fishing diet。

3）主题句在中间?主题句出现在文章中间的情况通常是文章的开头部分提出问题,陈述细节,导出主题句,然后再进一步用细节支持说明主题句?在文章中间的主题句通常起着承上

启下的作用?例如:

【考例分析7】56. The author of the text mainly___________. (2009 陕西卷)

A. describes the activities of a law-breaker

B. suggests an ideal way to travel

C. argues against the air-courier travel

D. tells us about a developing business

解析：本文介绍一个新型的职业——航空投送员。第六段最后一句点明主旨，答案 D

。文章开即：“It is not cheap for a business to send a package withan air courier, but it is quick.”头举例以引起读者的兴趣，最后一段介绍这种新职业的发展情况。

值得注意的是:有些文章和段落无明显的主题句,只是暗示性地体现主题?这就要求考生

在阅读过程中,根据文章中所叙述的事实或提供的线索来概括和总结文章的大意?

2.理清层次关系,，选出最佳标题

标题是文章中心思想的精练表达,多为一个名词词组，短小明了,函盖性强?做这类题目时,

要在阅读全文的基础上,把握好层次关系。注意选项的归纳范围要恰如其分,干扰项往往是局

部信息，是某一小节或文章里的某一句。所以我们在解题时要反复推敲，把概括范围过窄或

过宽的选项过滤掉。例如:

When you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera, the stresses(压力) of the

world seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation-you have to finish something!

49. What would be the best title for the text?（2010年全国卷II B篇）

A．Adventures in Travel Writing B．Working as a Food Critic

C．Travel Guides on the Market D．Vacationing for a Living

49. 答案：D 考点：：考主旨大意

解析：提示在文章第一段结尾句“Hey, stop! This is no vacation-you have to finish something!”

和第二段第二句“but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those

things,”说明了没有想到“度假也可以谋生”的欣喜之情。

Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of

getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television

on children.

67. What would be the best title for this text? （2010年辽宁卷C篇-节选自文章第一段）

A. Computers or Television

B. Effects of Television on Children

C. Studies on TV and College Education

D. Television and Children's Learning Habits

67. B. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要通过两项研究分析了儿童看电视所造成的影

响。文章第一段第一句话是主题句，所以B项作为标题是最佳的。

To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.

Common sense is not all that common.

Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?

These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot

about human nature . To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems

onsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural

that most people don’t want to accept the resp

thing to do . The original quote about human nature went like this:” To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的). ”This saying mirrors an deal people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite –find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking

responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.

55. What would be the best title for his passage?（2010年天津卷D篇-文章第一部分）

A. A Mirror of Human Nature

B. To Blame or to Forgive

C. A Mark of Maturity

D. Truth or Excuse

55. A. 主旨大意题。从全文和引言后第一段倒数第二句可知文章标题：人性的镜子。

引言后第一段第三句可知：批评别人的错误

【考例8】75. Which of the following would be the best titile for this passage? （2009福建卷）

A. Saving Energy Starts at Home.

B. Changing Our Habits Begins at Work

C. Changing Climate Sounds Reasonable

D. Reducing Emissions of CO 2 Proves Difficult 【答案】 A

【解析】本文作者说明人们从日常生活的细节做起，从自己家庭开始，一点一滴着手保

护环境。文章首段最后一句是文章的主题句。接下来三段讲述的是个人节约能源的方法。B 项是断章取义。末段最后一句提到了B项内容，但只是说明这是节约能源的方法之一；C 也是断章取义，文章虽然提到个人的行为也能改变气候，但这并非主题；D项是无中生有，文章并没有提到此项内容。

3.抓住关键词，判断作者意图

作者在描述事实或传递信息时,不管他的意图是什么,其观点和态度都不可避免地在文章

中反映出来?常见的涉及到作者态度的词有褒义类此（approving, positive, optimistic,等），贬义类词(critical, pessimistic, doubtful, questioning)和中性类此(indifferent, serious, objective, concerned, neutral)。这就要求考生在阅读时应特别注意文章的措辞,尤其注意那些表达感情色

彩的形容词如improving, encouraging, disappointing, fail, ignore等，以及作者对人物语言?行为和思想的描写,从中领悟作者的写作意图和态度?例如:

【考例9】The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But

even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.

75. What is the main purpose of the passage?（2010年重庆卷E篇）

A. To show us the hidden beauty in our world.

B. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.

C. To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.

D. To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe.

75. 答案：B。作者意图题。由文章最后一段可知，作者写这篇文章的目的就是要告诉我们

不要沉迷在幻想之中。由此判断选B项。

65. The author intends to __________（2009 山东卷）

A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promises

B. show the weakness of the law on product safety

C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful

D. introduce the organization of FDA. 【答案】 A

【解析】通读全文可知，作者的目的是让消费者注意虚假的承诺。注意第四段第一句中

的关键短语nothing more than money-making things, dangerous to health以及文章最后一句都

能体现作者的意图。B、D两项都是以偏概全；C项无中生有，文中根本没有提及。

【考例分析10】68. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents__________.（2009 海南、宁夏卷）

A. how to get along with a teenager

B. how to respect a teenager

C. how to understand a teenager

D. how to help a teenager grow up【答案】D

【解析】本文主要讲了作为父母，我们应该如何帮助孩子成长。首段最后一句是主题句。注意这些关键词句：give your child...; teach your teenager; expect alot from child等，这些都表明了作者写本文的目的。A项主题扩大，和孩子相处包含很多内容，而文章所讲只是其中的

一个方面；B项以偏概全，在第二段最后提及，并非主题句；C项是无中生有，文章没有提及。

总之，主旨大意类题虽然综合性强，对考生的能力要求较高，但只要我们掌握了一定的解题

技巧，在读懂读透文章的基础上，仔细对比四个备选项之间的内涵与外延之间的差异，定能准确地找出正确答案。

二. 细节题

正确答案的特点：与原文情节表达手法不同，但所表达的意思相同。

干扰选项的特点： 1. 是原文信息，但与题目要求不符；

2. 符合常识，但不符合原文内容；

3. 与原文情节极为相似，只是在程度上有些变动；

4. 选项中所提供的信息部分正确，部分错误；

5. 在意思上与原文大相径庭甚至完全相反。

例如：For Norman Bethune, saving lives was the most important thing in the world.

A. he himself was a famous doctor in the world

B. he could only save lives because he was a doctor

C. saving lives was more important than any other thing for him

D. in the world, he should do nothing but save lives

1、直接事实题：

" I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease. "

Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The

universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise without mouths, and so

transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to

forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is.

可知: 我

make noise without mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds.

们把使用语言的能力这个奇迹当做理所当然。B, C选项与文章不符, 在第一段第二句话中可

得知。D选项易误导学生, 在文章中虽然有原话, 但一句话没有说完, 关键是通过嘴巴发出

的声音去给其他人传递信息。故D选项也是错误的。

was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having

enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen

Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a

Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon

Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun.

高考英语阅读理解训练50篇

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 _________.

(英语)高三英语阅读理解解析版汇编

（英语）高三英语阅读理解解析版汇编 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 In America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能) to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. American parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they can't. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president. American parents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children become mature young adults. As we all know, school work is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn from natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What's more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively. As a rule, Chinese parents don't educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so. Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it. （1）From the passage, we know the American parents pay much more attention to . A. the social skills than Chinese parents B. their children's studying hard and well C. what their children want but they can't D. extra activities than schoolwork （2）According to the passage, Chinese parents . A. know more than American parents to educate their children B. owning ambition and confidence is necessary and important C. pay much more attention to their children's fine future D. don't encourage their children to participate in extra activities （3）From the passage, we can infer . A. American children are brave and adventurous B. American children are more active in their studies C. Chinese children have the ability to communicate effectively D. something should be done to develop the potential of the children in China （4）What's the writer's attitude towards Chinese education reform? A. Neutral. B. Indifferent. C. Positive. D. Negative. 【答案】（1）A

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.

高三英语阅读理解(带详解)

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

For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges,she’s been named national teacher of the year. Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his22years as an educator,but Peterson is“just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.” Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music. When students were reading S.E.Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a30-minute play with scenes from the book.Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused no race,equality and social justice,the themes of the book.Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book. The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Foils.It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns own even win national honors. As national teacher of the year,Peterson will spend the next year outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education. Not surprisingly,She is a big believe in the value of arts education.She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day. 65.The underlined word“daunting”in Paragraph1most probably means__________. A. discouraging B.interesting C.creative D.unbearable

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析

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 I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school. Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God. （1）How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school? A. Through his father's friend's help. B. Through his own efforts to exams. C. Through his father's request. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence. （2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？ A. An English school was more influential. B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast. C. It met with Chinese public opinion. D. He could become a successful interpreter. （3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical. B. It was mysterious. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was wonderful.【答案】（1）A （2）D （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校，并分析了具体原因。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school”可知，作者是通过父亲朋友的帮助进入到Mrs.
