Passage 2
Recently, one of my best friends Jennie, with whom I have shared just about everything since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we have both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.
Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boy friend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn't want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn't believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disapperared.
I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just could't believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boy friend.
By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating that I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didn't. I put the power of friendship to the ultimate test. We'd been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and t hen she told me that she had broken up with her boy friend.I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.
6.What word best sums up Jennie's boy friend
A. A drug user.
B. A loser.
C. A trouble maker.
D. A criminal.
7. What was the attitude of Jennie's parents towards her relationship with her boy friend
A. They were rather tolerant.
B.They were indifferent to it.
C. They thought their daughter deserved a better friend.
D.They did not allow her to continue it.
8. How did the author react to Jennie's relationship with her boy friend
A. She tried her best to dissuade Jennie from continuing it.
B. She threatened to break up with Jennie if her advice was ignored.
C. She was overcome with pride that Jennie told her about her boy friend.
D.She was very angry with Jennie for choosing such a friend.
9. How did the author feel when Jennie told her she had broken up with her boy friend
A. She felt relieved.
B. She felt happy and proud.
C. She felt frustrated and angry.
D.She felt exhausted.
10.What message does the author try to convey in this passage?
A. The power of true friendship can conquer anything.
B. Young people should be careful in choosing their friends.
C. Parents should take good care of their children.
D. Drugs can destroy innocent young people.
6.B 在第二段：“She started telling me stories about her new boy friend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior.”她的男友不仅吸毒而且有其他自残的行为。第三段作者还说：“I just could't believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boy friend.”也就是说珍妮的男友是位失败者
7.D 推理。第二段：作者的朋友说她催她的父母亲撒谎，甚至偷偷地出去见她的男友。这说明她的父母亲反对她继续和这位男友交往。
8.A 第二段：“No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn't believe me.”第三段：“I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble.”也就是说她一直想办法劝阻珍妮不要继续和她的男友来往了。
9.B 最后一段：当作者从电话里听到珍妮最终和她的男友断绝关系了，她高兴的泪水夺眶而出；而且，很为她的朋友自豪。
10.A 归纳题。从全文来看，珍妮和作者有着十分深厚的友谊，她们彼此都十分信任。而珍妮最近交上一位男友，这位男友不仅吸毒而且还有其他的自残行为—这让作者十分不安，希望珍妮立刻断绝她和这位男友的来往。但一开始珍妮并没有接受她的规劝，所以作者感到十分沮丧。作者只能以她们的深厚友谊为赌注，希望珍妮能相信作者是在尽力拯救她，希望她们的友谊能帮助她们客服一切困难。最终珍妮经过长时间的痛苦的思考，终于醒悟过来，和那位男友断绝了关系，摆脱了困境。
Passage 3
Many thousands of years ago, there were no houses such as people live in today. In those ancient times, men sometimes made their homes in trees, using the leaves to keep off rain and sun. Their object in building their houses in trees is to be safe from their enemies and from wild beasts. If people in those old times had been more civilized, they would have had stronger building materials than leaves and branches.
In colder countries, the people of long ago used to live in caves.It was too cold and stormy to live in trees. Sometimes, across the opening of the cave they made a wall of stones, in order to keep out wild animals.
As years went on and the human race progressed, men learned more about living in comfort and safety. They became more civilized and left woods and caves. They built houses of different materials such as mud, wood, or stones.
During the last hundred years, many new building methods have been discovered. One of the most recent discoveries is to use steel as a building material. Nowadays, when it is necessary to make a very tall building, the frame of it is first built of steel, and then the building is completed in concrete.
But whatever building it may be, it should be light, airy, and comfortable. Human being cannot keep healthy without sunlight and fresh, clean air to breathe.
几千年以前，还没有像人类现在居住的房子。在古时候，人类有时会在树上安家，使用树叶遮挡雨水和太阳。他们在树上建造房子的目的是为了预防敌人和野兽。如果在古时候人类能够更文明的话，他们将会用比树叶和树枝更坚固的建筑材料（建造房子）。
在寒冷的国家，人类很久以前曾经居住在山洞里。在树上居住太寒冷且无法抵挡暴风雨。有时候，为了防止野生动物，他们会在洞穴口做一扇石头墙。
随着时间的流逝和人类快速的进步，他们更加懂得该如何舒适安全的居住生活。他们离开了森林和洞穴变得更加的文明。他们用不同的材料建筑房子，例如：泥土，树木或者石头。
在过去的一百年期间，许多新的建筑方法被发现。最近的发现之一是用钢材作为一种建筑材料。如今，当有必要做一个非常高的建筑时，首先要用钢材建立框架，然后再用钢筋混凝土完成建筑。
但无论什么建筑,它都应该是明亮的,通风的,和舒适的。没有阳光和新鲜,清洁干净的空气呼吸，人类将无法保持健康。

英语阅读理解(人物故事)练习题含答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类 1．阅读理解 Russ Gremel, now 98 years old, decided it was time to donate $2 million to the Illinois Audubon Society, a charity to purchase nearly 400 acres of land for wildlife protection. Gremel was able to make this amazing donation because he purchased $1,000 worth of Walgreens stock seven decades ago whose value has grown recently. "A single man with no kids, Gremel has lived in the same Chicago house for 95 years, and has always lived simply", neighbor Patrick Falso told TODAY. Falso said he heard Gremel say many times the "money wasn't mine to begin with" and that he always intended to give it away. The Gremel Wildlife shelter was founded on June 4. Illinois Audubon Society president Jim Herkert said Gremel's donation was extremely generous. "It's allowing us to protect a really valuable and important possession and realize one of Gremel's wishes that we could find a place where people could come out and experience nature the way he did as a kid," Herkert told TODAY. After doing all this, this past weekend, Gremel adopted an old Chihuahua（吉娃娃犬）. Winnie the dog was picked up as a homeless dog several months ago. She suffered from a kind of cancer, which was treated—and all she needed was a loving home, which Colleen Collins, the founder of Perfect Pooches Adoption Agency, was determined to find. Gremel had lost his own beloved Chihuahua earlier this year. When he reached out to Collins about Winnie, she felt this could be a good match. That feeling grew when she brought Winnie to his house for a meet and greet, and Winnie was introduced not only to Gremel but also some of his friends and neighbors. One had brought over a lot of fresh strawberries; all said they'd be there to help out in any way needed. （1）Patrick Falso is mentioned in the text mainly to explain _________. A. how Gremel earned the money B. what kind of person Gremel is C. why Gremel made the donation D. where Gremel has been living （2）What can we learn about Russ Gremel from the text? A. He raised many pet dogs in his life. B. He bought Walgreens stock at age 28. C. He adopted a young Chihuahua recently. D. He volunteered in wildlife shelters regularly. （3）What can we infer about Gremel's neighbors from the text? A. They live in harmony with animals. B. They are impressed with dog Winnie. C. They lead a healthy and wealthy life. D. They are caring and kind to each other. 【答案】（1）C （2）B

(英语)英语阅读理解练习题含答案及解析
一、中考英语阅读理解汇编 1．阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项。 What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow. When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality. Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic. They build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive. So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people. （1）What is the passage mainly about? A. Environmental protection. B. The world of tomorrow. C. Advantages of technology. （2）What do we learn from the passage? A. Some people think technology development may bring new problems B. 3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap. C. The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular.

英语阅读理解(人物故事)专项及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类 1．阅读理解 A photography exhibition by French artist San Bartolome entitled Moon Door Dreamers opened in the 798 Art Zone in Beijing on December 10, 2011, presenting a cross-cultural perspective (视角) on ordinary life in the capital city. Bartolome took these photos in August 2008, and produced a video named Two Worlds, One Dream. These works were displayed in Pingyao, an ancient city in Shanxi Province, under the title Beijing Midsummer Night Dream in September 2010. The moon doors serve as a keyhole through which one can catch a glimpse of a slice of Beijing life. He got his inspiration from one cycling trip to the southeastern suburb of Beijing, where he discovered a peculiar street along which a gray brick wall was built to cover the shabby bungalows. These cabins were mostly rented by migrant workers- peddlers, craftsmen, grocers and innkeepers. Born in 1950, Bartolome has worked as a photographer, stage director. Artistic manager, writer and diplomat. A noted Sinophile, Bartolome frequently visits China for photographic subjects. In the fall of 2003, he joined the French Embassy in Beijing as a cultural attache. His work experience in China from 2003 to 2015 further enhanced his awareness of and love for China. Bartolome not only loves Chinese culture but also the Chinese people. He thinks that Chinese people are kind, welcoming and diverse. Back from his bike ride to southeastern Beijing, he decided to shoot pictures about ordinary urban lifestyles. He observed dwellers carefully and made friends with them. After about 30 days and nights that he spent with these common migrants, he created a number of portraits. Meanwhile, he learned more about those rural migrants who earn their living in a city with which they are unfamiliar. He adopted an optimistic perspective to shoot the sights, and he borrowed the title of one of William Shakespeare s comedy works: A Midsummer Night's Dream. （1）What is the main purpose of the exhibition? A. To present Bartolome's photographic skills. B. To tell us Bartolome's work experience in Beijing. C. To show us Bartolome's optimistic view on ordinary life in Beijing. D. To build a cross-cultural communication bridge between China and France. （2）What inspires Bartolome to shoot pictures about ordinary urban styles? A. His bike ride to Southeastern suburb of Beijing. B. His work experience in the French Embassy in Beijing. C. His visit to the ancient city of Pingyao. D. Shakespeare's comedy work: A Midsummer Night's Dream. （3）What does the underlined word "Sinaphile" in paragraph 4 refer to? A. A successful artist. B. A cultural attache. C. A person of status. D. A fan of China.（4）What does the text mainly talk about? A. A French artist tells Chinese stories with his camera.

You do not have to lie to hide the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else. You were meant to be different. Nowhere, in all of history, will the same things be going on in anyone’s mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.

Enjoy it and share it! No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort others with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person. No one can be cheerful and light-hearted3 and joyous4 in your way. No one can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being. Share your uniqueness.

(英语)英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析
（英语）英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon. The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, he adds. Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors ( 交叠式旋翼 )to power the vehicle. The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams. In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour. Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack “is built around safety from the start. In his words, reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.” The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot,” he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon. （1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike . A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly B. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high C. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams D. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed （2）The writer uses the example of For One racing car to show that . A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliable B. the engine of the Jetpack is powerful C. the actual structure of the Jetpack is unique D. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height （3）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer s to. A. the jet stream B. the engine C. the Jetpack D. the parachute （4）What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage? A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles. B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles. C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles. D. To advertise the two personal

高二必备英语阅读理解(人物故事)技巧全解及练习题(含答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类 1．阅读理解 When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town. But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone. Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me. After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day. Kindness saved me when I needed help the most.
