2017高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编（137）

（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。

“OK，” I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice.“What's going on with you and your friend J．？” J．is the leader of a group of third－graders at her camp—a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer.

Now she's__the__one__on__the__outs，and every day at snack time，she tells me all about it，while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long.

“She's fond of giving orders，” Lucy complained.“She's turning everyone against me.Sh e's mean.She's bad at math.She's terrible at kickball.And she's fat.”“Excuse me，”I said，struggling for calm.“What did you just say？”“She's fat，” Lucy mumbled(含糊地说)into her bowl.“We are going upstairs，” I said，my voice cold，“We are going to discuss this.” A nd up we went.

I'd spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day，the day we'd have to have the conversation about this horrible word.I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing(嘲笑)，but in all of my imaginings，it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word—Fat.

My daughter sat on her bed，and I sat beside her.“How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn't your fault？”I began.“She could stop eating so much，”Lucy mumbled，mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors and well－meaning friends and relatives have given overweight women for years.

“It's not always that easy，”I said.“Everyone's different in terms of how they treat food.” Lucy looked at me，waiting for me to go on.I opened my mouth，then closed it.Should I tell her that，in teasing a woman's weight，she's joined the long，proud tradition of critics who go after any woman with whom they disagree by starting with “you're ugly” and ending with“no man w ould want you and there must be something wrong with any man who does”？Should I tell her I didn't cry when someone posted my picture and commented，“I'm sorry，but aren't authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty？”？

Does she need to know，now，that life isn't fair? I feel her eyes on me，waiting for an answer I don't have.Words are my tools.Stories are my job.It's possible she'll remember what I say forever，and I have no idea what to say.

So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true.I say to my daughter，“I love you，and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you.But I'm disappointed in you right now.There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone.What she looks like isn't one of them.”

Lucy nods，tears on her cheeks.“I won't say that again，”she tells me，and I pull her close，pressing my nose against her hair.We are both quiet，and I don't know if I have said the right thing.So as we sit there together，shoulder to shoulder，I pray for her to be smart.I pray for her to be strong.I pray for her to find friends，work she loves，a partner who loves her，and for the world not to deprive(剥夺)her of the things that make her who she is，for her life to be easy，and for her to have the strength to handle it when it's not.And still，always，I pray that she will never struggle as I've struggled，that weight will never be her cross to bear.She may not be able to use the word in our home，but I can use it in my head.I pray that she will never get fat.

（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。

Countless people long to make a difference this holiday season, yet they don't realize that opportunities to make a difference are everywhere.Here are some ideas to get you started.

Organize a blank drive

It is cold outside, but imagine how thousands of homeless people may feel without a home of their own, or even a blanket to keep them from the cold. Organize a blank drive for your local homeless, and ask around for donations!

Practice random acts of kindness

I'll never forget the time when I went to pay for my Dr. Pepper, but the server resisted, saying my bill was paid by an anonymous(匿名的) guest. It's this random act of kindness that restores my faith in humanity. Bless someone by paying for their drink at Starbucks, or praising them! If you live somewhere where it snows, shovel your neighbour's snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as complex as paying the bill, you'll never know how far your impact will reach.

Say thank-you

Just a simple thank-you can make__somebody's__day,__especially if they feel like their work is never noticed. Cultivate(培养) a smile on their face by being sincere and grateful for all that they do.

Use your talents to help the community

The best way to show your appreciation for people is by using the talents and skills you have to bless others. For me, I love to coordinate(协调) events and write, and so my way of reaching out to the community is through writing articles and creating awareness about problems we face today. If you can bake, make some delicious cookies for people to enjoy! If you can knit, put your talents to use by making clothes for children in foster care. Any talent can be used to help the community in meaningful ways.

Wish you a happy, healthy and helpful holiday season.

（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。

(2014·长沙二模)If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day，think again.Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year，a survey has revealed.The waistlines of women suffer the most，with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz—the equivalent of a whole dress size—while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.

The report into our eating habits found that，on average，we eat at least two snacks a day，with 30 percent of us tucking into three or more.Women admit eating more than men，with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day.The research，by The Village Bakery，found biscuits are the most common

vice，with 42 percent regularly opening a pack，closely followed by chocolate (38 percent)，crisps (32 percent) and cakes ( 13 percent)．

And office workers are worse than most.Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to.In addition，33 percent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 percent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.

Simon Staddon，of The Village Bakery，said：“We were aware time－poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch.But we were really shocke d by the extent to which ‘quick fix’ lunches are affecting weight gain and general well－being.Popular mid－afternoon pick－me－ups such as biscuits，chocolate and cakes are high in calories，fat and full of sugar，all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.”

The survey of 2，000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating.Twenty －four percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying，compared to 20 percent of men.Unfortunately，it's as if we are not likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.

2017年高考英语阅读题

2017年高考英语阅读题 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节,满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分） 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Attending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school. One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2- reach schools and 2- safety schools. At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’re qualified for it. Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information. Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state. Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools. For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest. 21.The passage is mainly written to______. A.introduce famous universities in the United Stales B.show some practical ways to apply an ideal college C.advertise for successful applications and advisors D.offer tips to save money on college application fees

The first is the 173-meter-high Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest of all the pyramids in Egypt. The second is the Great Sphinx of Giza, a sculpture with the body of a lion and the head of a man, which stands 20 meters tall and 73 meters long. The origin of the Great Sphinx of Giza goes back 5,000 years, Although many sphinx sculptures have been found over the years, researchers believe that the Great Sphinx which guards the pyramids in Giza was actually the first one to be made (around 2600-2500B.C.). The head of the Sphinx represents Khafre, the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt at the time. About two thousand years later, around 570 B.C., sand had covered all but the head of the Great Sphinx. The people living in the area had forgotten the history of the statue, so they imagined that the head represented the sun god Ra and began worshiping it. The son of Pharaoh Amenhotep II heard the head speak to him in a dream. The Sphinx’s head made him promise to clear the sand from the statue’s body. The son, Thutmose, kept his word and did what he was told in the dream. He also built walls around the statue to prevent the sand from covering it again. After all of the sand was cleared away, Thutmose made a large stone tablet that told the story of his dream. He placed this tablet between the two front feet of the Sphinx, where it stands to this day. For hundreds of years, the Sphinx attracted people both as a religious monument and as a work of art. But eventually, the desert sand once again covered the Sphinx, leaving only

（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 .

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.
