一、英语阅读理解日常生活类（含答案详细解析）
1．根据短文内容，判断句子正误。
Dear Dr. Manners,
My close friend seldom says "please". She will say "Can you get me that bag?" or" Move it over there!" I have told her a lot of times that it is polite to use "please" and "thank you", but she hardly remembers. I feel that she is ordering me around without "please", and I always get angry. We have been close friends for over 10 years. It seems that I can't stand it any more. What should I do? Can you help me?
Sincerely,
Hawkins Dear Ms Hawkins,
When your friend docs not use polite words, it seems that she is ordering you to do something. So you have right（权利） to hate her behavior.
Ask her why she doesn't use "please" or "thank you". Explain to her that it makes you feel uncomfortable. Also, you don't need to do anything for her because she doesn't seem kind or pleasant when she asks you to.
Maybe your friend was not taught how to use "please" or "thank you" in the normal conversation. So you can try to teach her that. Remember it is difficult to find another close friend if you lose one.
Best regards,
Dr. Manners （1）Ms Hawkins doesn't know how to use "please" or "thank you".
（2）Ms Hawkins got to know her friend more than ten years ago.
（3）Dr. Manners thinks Ms Hawkins has right to hate her friend's behavior.
（4）Maybe Ms Hawkins' friend doesn't know the right way of talking in the normal conversation.

3．根据短文内容，判断正误。
Riding a Mobike on the street. You might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale.
But you are not in China—You are in Manchester in Britain. You might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going global （世界性的）.
Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people's tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. For example, Chinese people like to eat meat with the bone in, but Western people don't. So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.
Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers.
More than half of the US-owned drones（无人机）are Chinese models. They're not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country.
In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable（不可靠的）. But now, things have changed greatly. "Made in China" becomes cool.
（1）We can see more people use Chinese products in Western countries now.
（2）Chinese restaurants provide meat with bones to meet local people's tastes.
（3）More than 50% of the US-owned drones are designed, developed and made in China. （4）In the past , most Western people thought Chinese products were unable to be trusted. （5）This article is about the disadvantages of Chinese products.
【答案】（1）1
（2）0
（3）1
（4）1
（5）0
【解析】【分析】本文介绍了有关中国元素的很多东西。
（1）根据You might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale可能会听到一些人大声说中文。向右拐，你会看到一家川菜餐馆。走进商店后，你会看到华为智能手机正在出售可知，我们现在可以看到西方国家越来越多的人使用中国产品是对的，故是正确。
（2）根据So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones所以中国餐馆提供大块无骨肉可知，中国餐馆提供带骨头的肉来满足当地人的口味是错的，故是错误。
（3）根据More than half of the US-owned drones（无人机）are Chinese models可知超过50%的美国无人驾驶飞机是在中国设计、开发和制造的，故是正确。
（4）根据In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable可知过去，大多数西方人认为中国产品不可信，故是正确。
（5）根据Made in China" becomes cool.“中国制造”变得很酷可知这篇文章是关于中国产品的缺点是错的，故是错误。
【点评】考查阅读理解。注意从文中寻找答案，推断出需要的信息。
4．阅读下列材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In the park, you see a group of people, all looking up at the sky. Without thinking about it, you look upwards, too. Why? In the concert, someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in. You do, too. Why?
Sometimes we feel we are acting correctly when we do the same as others. The more people follow an idea, the better or truer we think the idea is. It's the social proof （社会认同感） that works.
The scientist Asch carried out an experiment. It shows how social proof can influence us. In a room, a man is shown Line 1, and next to it are three lines （A, B, C）. A is longer, C is shorter and B is as long as Line 1. He must tell which of the three lines is as long as Line 1. When the man is alone, he gives the correct answer B. Then, five other men enter the room, and each of them gives the answer C as they were told to. Now the man changes his idea and gives the answer C. Asch got the same result many times among different subjects （实验对象）.
Why do we act like this? Well, in the past, following others was a way to keep from danger. Suppose that 5000 years ago you were hunting （打猎）with friends. Suddenly, they all ran away. What would you have done? Would you have stayed? No, you would have run, too. We are descendants （后代） of those who copied others' action. It is so deeply planted in our mind that we still use it now.
Social proof has special power. The advertising industry, for example, often makes use of it. So
be capful whenever a company says its product is "the most popular".
（1）At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by ________.
A. telling a story
B. giving examples
C. answering questions
D. showing a map （2）According to Paragraph 3, the experiment by Asch shows ________.
A. following others is always right
B. social proof may change people's ideas
C. it's difficult to carry out the experiment
D. people can study better if they are alone
（3）The underlined word "It" in Paragraph g refers to ________.
A. running with others
B. hunting with friends
C. copying others' action
D. doing something different
（4）According to the passage, we can infer （推断） that ________.
A. it's important to run with others anytime
B. products in the advertisement are the best
C. we mustn't copy others' action to keep safe
D. we need to think twice before following others
【答案】（1）B
（2）B
（3）C
（4）D
【解析】【分析】短文大意：这篇短文通过几个实例说明了社会认知感对人们的影响。（1）细节理解题。 In the park, you see a group of people, all looking up at the sky. Without thinking about it, you look upwards, too. Why? In the concert, someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in. You do, too. Why? 可知作者是通过实例说明了一个论点社会认同感的影响。故选B。
（2）细节理解题。第三段的实验内容主要讲让人们选择一个正确答案，在一个人单独思考的状况下，可以答对；当一群人一起看问题，并告知他们前面的人选择的一个错误答案，他们就都选择认可前人回答的错误答案，由此可知社会认同感会让人改变观点。故选B。
（3）词意猜测题。根据Suppose that 5000 years ago you were hunting （打猎） with friends. Suddenly, they all ran away. What would you have done? Would you have stayed? No, you would have run, too. We are descendants （后代） of those who copied others' action. 这种观念深深种在我们的脑海中并且现在我们仍旧在使用。可知it指的是人们抄袭他人的行动。故选C。
（4）推理判断题。根据So be careful whenever a company says its product is "the most popular". 因此无论何时当一个公司说它的产品是对受欢迎的要小心。可知当我们在跟从别人之前要再三考虑。故选D。
【点评】此题考查阅读理解。先阅读短文，了解短文大意，然后分析问题，弄清题意，再带着问题阅读短文，从短文的细节中找出问题答案。对于推理判断题要根据文章中相关的细节进行推理判断，不要主观臆断，要根据作者的观点确定。
5．阅读理解
The human body is a machine that can raise lots of interesting questions. Why, for example, are yawns （呵欠）contagious （传染的）? What's up with ice-cream headaches? Here are answers to these and other questions about our bodies.
Why do I get a headache when I eat ice cream too quickly?
Scientists aren't exactly sure what causes the brain freeze when we eat ice cream or other super cold foods too quickly, though some believe it's the result of changed blood .flow in the nervous system. Blood vessels in the head tighten to stop the loss of body heat and then relax to let blood flow rise; that sudden rush of blood is what causes the headache. You can improve an ice-cream headache by rapidly rubbing your tongue across the roof of your mouth to help warm up things.
What causes my stomach to make a low continuous noise when I'm hungry?
Actually, your stomach makes noise whether you're hungry or full; you just hear it more clearly when you're hungry. Think of your digestive tract（消化道）as a really long tube lined with smooth muscle tissue. These muscles move food, fluids and gas through your digestive tract. ___________. It can make you feel embarrassed（尴尬的）but is nothing to worry about.
Why do I blush when I'm embarrassed?
When you're embarrassed, your brain releases a shot of adrenaline（肾上腺素）, which makes your heart race and blood vessels become larger in size. All this happens to increase blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body in a fight-or-flight reaction（对抗反应）. There are a lot of tiny blood vessels in your face, which turn noticeably redder from this sudden rush of blood. As for the actual function of blushing, researchers are still trying to find that one out.
Why are yawns contagious?
Have you ever yawned in front of someone, only to have them yawn right back? It's a common thing, but researchers don't have a good explanation for it. They do, however, know this happens only with humans and chimpanzees（黑猩猩）. A bigger question puzzling scientists is why we yawn at all. It used to be thought that yawning showed that oxygen to the brain was not enough, but that's just a myth. A growing body of research now shows that yawning is nature's way of keeping our brains cool.
（1）What is the meaning of the underlined word tighten?
A. 变松
B. 变紧
C. 变短
D. 变长（2）Which of the following sentences can be filled in the blank?
A. And that's what you're hearing when your stomach makes noise.
B. And that's why you're so hungry when your stomach is empty
C. And that's what makes you feel uncomfortable when you're full.
D. And that's how it makes a difference to your digestive tract.
（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. There is no way for you to improve an ice-cream headache.
B. Researchers have found out the actual function of blushing.
C. Your stomach makes noise only when you are hungry.
D. Researchers don't have a good explanation for why yawns are contagious.
（4）What is the best title of the passage?
A. Some Interesting Facts
B. Our Strange Body
C. Some Useful Discoveries
D. Our Amazing Feelings
【答案】（1）B
（2）A
（3）D
（4）B

（1）词义猜测题。根据Blood vessels in the head tighten to stop the loss of body heat and then relax to let blood flow rise; that sudden rush of blood is what causes the headache然后放松，让血液流动起来；这种突然的血液流动是导致头痛的原因。你可以通过快速地将舌头摩擦到口腔顶部来帮助热身来改善冰淇淋头痛。由relax，放松，动词，可知放松让血液流动，推知阻止血液流动的应该是变紧，因此tighten的意思是变紧，故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据上文These muscles move food, fluids and gas through your digestive tract. 把你的消化道想象成一条很长的管道，内衬着平滑肌组织。这些肌肉通过消化道输送食物、液体和气体。可已推知这些肌肉通过消化道输送食物、液体和气体。就会在胃里产生声音。故选A。
（3）判断正误题。根据You can improve an ice-cream headache by rapidly rubbing your tongue across the roof of your mouth to help warm up things.你可以通过快速地将舌头摩擦到口腔顶部来帮助热身来改善冰淇淋头痛。可知选项A不符合文章内容，故排除A；As for the actual function of blushing, researchers are still trying to find that one out.至于脸红的实际作用，研究人员仍在努力找出其中之一。可知选项B不符合文章内容，故排除B；you just hear it more clearly when you're hungry. 当你饿了的时候，你只会更清楚地听到声音。可知选项C不符合文章内容，故排除C；It's a common thing, but researchers don't have a good explanation for it. 这是一件很平常的事情，但研究人员对此没有很好的解释。可知选项D符合文章内容，故选D。
（4）标题判断题。根据文章大意本文主要介绍提供一些问题和答案来说明人体是一台能提出许多有趣问题的机器。只有选项B，才能揭示文章的大意，故选B。

If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" （代）of your mobile network. But the symbols will become
things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.
About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data（数据） faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well.
For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag（延迟）. When the car "sees" an obstacle（障碍物）, it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions, However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer.
5G could also be used to power the internet of things （IoT）, that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.
The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically （自动地） place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.
（1）Which city was 5G tested for the first time?
A. Beijing.

（1）细节理解题。根据Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks。可知，上海是中国第一个进行5G测试的城市。故选B。
（2）推理判断题。根据About 100 times faster than 4G networks，5G will let people download and upload data（数据）faster than ever before。But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet。 People can use it for many other things well。可知，5G的速度将会是4G的100倍，人们下载或者上传数据都会快很多。而且，5G不仅仅是在移动网络上给人们带来快捷。在其他方面，人们也可以利用5G。由此可以推断出，5G将会使人们的生活便利很多。故选B。
