2020年高考英语阅读理解专项训练八篇（五）

（一）

(2019·湖北四市七校联考)It was a normal school day for senior Solymar Solis until an unexpected visitor arrived.Her dad, Sgt.Carlos Solis Melendez, surprised her by coming home early from Kuwait and visiting her unannounced at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina.

After serving in Kuwait for nine months, Melendez returned home a week earlier than his daughter expected.He held balloons and flowers in a classroom as he sat at a student's desk to blend in with the crowd.“It came to my mind like ‘How is she going to react？’，” he recalled the heartwarming moment.“Is she going to be happy and run to me and hug me, or cry? That was all going on through my mind.”

As unsuspecting Solymar entered the classroom, she was soon overcome with emotion, immediately bursting into tears and covering her mouth.She didn't talk.She was just crying.She was overwhelmed with everything.She thought it was a dream.

Melendez was a single parent, so when he was deployed (调动), he got his sister to live with his daughter.When he was coming back and talking to his sister, both of them came to the conclusion that they should do something special for his daughter.Melendez and his sister got in touch with the school, and they planned this whole being-in-the-classroom thing, and it turned out perfect.

The two are very much looking forward to some good daddy-daughter time now that he's home.“It means everything，” Melendez said of being able to surprise his daughter this way.“After all the sacrifices she's made, she deserve s all the special arrangements and special occasions and celebrations.I'll do anything for my daughter.I believe I'm doing good parenting.”

Kenny Li is waiting patiently at a coach terminus(终点站) in

Kowloon on a misty and cold Hong Kong morning.

He is planning to have lunch in the city of Zhuhai, which on

a normal day would take him about four hours to reach by road. But

today the journey will take just over 30 minutes, because today is

not a normal day.

Kenny is one of scores of passengers —including the

correspondent (记者) — who are queuing for a seat on one of the

first cross-border coaches to travel over the newly-opened Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

The ＄20bn, 55km bridge and 6.7km undersea tunnel link Hong Kong's Lantau island to Zhuhai on the southern coast of Guangdong Province and Macao. The mega structure is supported by three cable-stayed bridges and designed to withstand typhoon-force winds.

It took more than eight years to build and, according to ambitious plans hatched (策划) in Beijing, will help form a high-tech and economic region, namely Greater Bay Area, to rival New York, San Francisco and Tokyo bay areas.

But those lofty aims feel fairly irrelevant to the band of eager passengers who have assembled at the Kowloon coach terminus on Wednesday morning. This group wants something different from the HZMB, as it has become known. For just HK DS| 120 for a single trip ticket, we can be part of history.

“I was the first person to get the ticket three days ago，” says Li, as he waits patiently for the coach to arrive.

Other passengers are similarly excited. YW Cheung and his wife bought the tickets on Sunday as soon as he heard about the news about coach companies running the bridge service.

“I want to take the first coach to cross the bridge，” he said. “We will meet friends in Zhuhai and eat out with them, and then we will go to Macao.”

语篇解读：港珠澳大桥是中国境内一座连接香港、珠海和澳门的桥隧工程。2018年10月24日大桥正式通车。本文主要报道了港珠澳大桥通车时人们期待乘坐长途公共汽车来往于三地的情景。

1．Why is today different for Kenny Li?

A．Because it is a misty and cold day in the morning.

B．Because he has to wait patiently at a coach terminus.

C．Because the time to Zhuhai will be saved more.

D．Because he can have lunch in Zhuhai by road.

解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段可推知，对Kenny Li来说，今天之所以特殊是因为他可以乘坐贯穿港珠澳大桥的公共长途汽车，这大大地缩短了到珠海的时间，故选C。

2．What is special for Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge?

A．It can withstand typhoon-force winds.

B．A round trip ticket of the coach by it just costs HK D|S120.

C．It is irrelevant to passengers at the Kowloon coach terminus.

D．It is part of history, more brilliant than New York.

解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“The mega structure is supported by three

cable-stayed bridges and designed to withstand typhoon-force winds.”可推知，港珠澳大桥的特别之处在于其能承受台风，故选A。

3．Where does this text probably come from?

A．A fashion magazine. B．A history book.

C．A tourist brochure. D．A latest newspaper.

解析：选D 文章出处题。根据全文的内容和语言风格可推知，本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了港珠澳大桥建成通车时的情形，由此可推知，本文可能出自一份最新的报纸，故选D。

Some of the questions you ask your human resources (HR) (人力资源) department could soon be answered by, well, non-humans.

That's the concept behind Talla, a Boston-area start-up that has developed a chatbot (一种聊天程序) to do some of the tasks that HR departments carry out, including explaining company policy, surveying employees, collecting information or training new hires.The Talla bot operates inside enterprise group messaging software, such as Slack, HipChat or Microsoft Teams, which has increasingly become an alternative to email as a method of digital communication within companies.Some 1,200 companies have brought in Talla, about a quarter of whom use the service regularly, said Talla's founder Rob May.

Robots promise to be a violent force in the global economy.Some scientists expect they will undoubtedly replace low-wage workers, such as drivers and factory labor.As artificial intelligence continues to become more developed, robots may eventually do work instead of humans in many fields.Already, bots are being employed in fields as varied as law, journalism, medicine and engineering.

Does that mean HR will depend only on bots? Maybe, but not for several decades, predicts May.In fact, he says the introduction of chatbots to HR allows the human staff to focus on tasks that require a greater degree of intellect.

“What's actually going to happen is that you're going to allow the HR department to be more human by automating (使自动化) a lot of their repeated work，” he said.“HR spends a lot of time doing these low-level, monotonous tasks，” May continued.“What you'll find is that more of the work that does not need communicating with other humans is the kind of work that will be automated.”

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了波士顿一家创业公司Talla开发的聊天程序，它用来帮助人力资源部做那些重复性的、不需要与人交流的单调工作。

1．What do we know about chatbots?

A．They can increase human staff's intelligence.

B．They help companies advance their service.

C．They are welcomed in many companies.

D．They will get less and less human.

解析：选C 细节理解题。第二段中的“Some 1,200 companies have brought in Talla, about a quarter of whom use the service regularly”说明Talla开发的chatbot被很多公司运用。

2．What will HR do according to May?

A．Use chatbots instead of robots.

B．Communicate more with chatbots.

C．Let chatbots replace them completely soon.

D．Free themselves from less significant tasks.

解析：选D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“the introduction of chatbots to HR allows the human staff to focus on tasks that require a greater degree of intellect”和最后一段最后一句可知，Rob May认为人力资源部的那些任务难度相对小的、重复性的、不需要与人交流的、不太重要的工作会自动化，这样人力资源部的人就可以抽身去做其他更有意义的工作。

3．What does the underlined word “monotonous” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Hard. B．Boring.

C．Hopeless. D．Worthless.

解析：选B 词义猜测题。最后一段第一句谈到通过自动化，人力资源部就无需再做那些重复性的工作。结合该段内容，由于是重复性的、无需与他人交流的工作，故可推知这些工作是“单调乏味的”。故选B项。

4．What does the text mainly focus on?

A．Chatbots' role and HR.

B．Robots and chatbots.

C．HR's heavy work.

D．Chatbots' future.

解析：选A 主旨大意题。本文主要讲了Rob May的公司Talla开发的聊天程序chatbot运用到了人力资源行业，帮助做一些人力资源行业中单调乏味的工作。因此选A。

London Russian Ballet School (LRBS), based in Clapham, is a vocational school and charity (慈善机构) which teaches ballet to and educates young people from widely diverse backgrounds.Its artistic director, Evgeny Goremykin, one of the most respected ballet professors in Europe who danced with the Bolshoi Ballet for over twenty years, founded the

school in 2010 on the principles of his own ballet education.

The goal of the school is to give students the best of the past in order to work for the future.Students train with former artists of the great theatres and ballet schools of Russia where tradition and knowledge are passed from one generation to the next.LRBS believes that the Russian method, one of the finest in the world, may be applied to students with great success.

Dame Gillian Lynne comments, “LRBS is an inspirational, tough and practical ballet school.Russian ballet training has always been extremely effective and important and these children are very lucky to be able to be part of the beautiful art and also to have the chance to develop, lead and inspire the talent within their souls.Dance has no barriers, and it is a universal and powerful art form which will always continue and should be accessible to all.”

This year, over 700 children from Lambeth have been invited to the London Palladium in September to see the LRBS pupils perform with leading artists from the Bolshoi Ballet, something they would otherwise never have been able to do.It will give them a chance to experience the extreme discipline (训练) of this teaching which will lead to their enjoyment of the beauty of ballet.

LRBS regularly performs for over 3,000 children each year in local underprivileged schools, which is what it feels pleased about.These children experience ballet accompanied by young musicians in their school halls.A teacher from a Lambeth primary school commented, “It was lovely to see our children's full attention taken by such a wonder on the stage ...and for nearly all it was the first time that they had seen a ballet production on stage.”

解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知，Dame Gillian Lynne认为舞蹈没有国界，它是一种全球性的、具有强大影响力的艺术形式，应该普及到每一个人。由此可推知，Dame Gillian Lynne认为芭蕾舞教育适用于来自各种背景的年轻人，它没有社会地位的差异。故选B。

3．What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Seeing the ballet performance.

B．Attending LRBS to study ballet.

Ireland's Achill Island has always been a popular European tourist destination.However, since April, the small island of just 2,600 residents (居民) has gained worldwide fame thanks to the magical return of a beach that was washed away over three decades ago.

The chain of events began in 1984 when residents of Dooagh, one of the five settlements on the island, awoke to a surprising sight: their beautiful sandy beach had been washed away by strong Atlantic storms.There were only rocks and rock pools left.For about 34 years, only small amounts of sand returned to the once unspoiled shores.The area's tourism industry slowly declined, and the handful of beachside hotels, pubs, and restaurants gradually closed as well.

Then, around Easter last year, something magical happened — an unusual ten-day tide blanketed the barren 300-meter long rock beach with hundreds of tons of soft golden sand.Scientists suspect that the sand had been gathering offshore for months and was transported to the beach by the high winds and powerful waves.

The locals are delighted to have their beach back, especially as it is attracting thousands of visitors wishing to witness the power of nature, with their own eyes.However, Sean Molloy, manager of Achill Tourism, cautions against going into the cold waters just yet, saying, “Because of the sand coming in, we don't know how safe the beach is now because currents (洋流) could be changed and it'll take a little bit of time.” He instead recommends visitors enjoy the soft sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area.

Interestingly, this is not the first time Dooagh Beach has pulled a disappearing and reappearing act.It disappeared in the 1890s, for over 30 years, before returning in 1927.However, the locals are optimistic that this time around, the beautiful sand is here to stay.

It used to be one of the world's most splendid train stations, sitting on the French-Spanish border —but then it fell into disrepair.Now, writes Chris Bockman, the building is showing new signs of life.

The train station was built in iron and glass, complete with a hospital, a restaurant and living quarters for customs officers from both Fr ance and Spain.At the time it was nicknamed the “Titanic of the Mountains”．

But after the day the station was opened in 1928 by the French president and the Spanish king, flaws quickly became obvious.The rail gauges (轨距) were different, so passengers still had to change trains.It made transporting goods too slow.In the early 1930s, as few as 50 passengers a day were using the station.And then things got worse.During the Spanish Civil War, the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealed off to prevent Republican rebels (反叛者) from bringing weapons https://www.wendangku.net/doc/e9135587.html,ter, the French lost interest in

the line.When a train derailed on the French side in 1970, that signaled that France abandoned the line.

The grand building itself went to rot.The tracks rusted, the ceilings fell in with the severe winter weather and vandalism (故意破坏财物的行为) did the rest.

But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it, claiming it was a major part of Spanish history.The French government has agreed to reopen the line on its side too.If all goes to plan, the “Titanic of the Mountains” could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022.It is reported that the massive wooden ticket counters at the station have already been restored.

语篇解读：本文讲述了法国和西班牙边境的一座火车站的历史变迁。

Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve-racking (神经

紧张的)．I had never been to such an amazing national park before, yet I wasn't the

most athletic person, so I knew that I couldn't stick through all the hiking up and

down.It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.

The ride there was definitely long but worth it.As I woke up from my nap, I saw

the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams.The trails were made

nicely for visitors.The waterfalls were breathtaking.Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts.Even though I fell a couple of times, I still had a lot of fun.The fact that my family and I spent so much time together trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.

The great thing about nature is that, it's just you, the views, and the people around you.There's nothing there to bother you and it's the best way to relax and enjoy yourself.Yosemite has 5 of the world's highest waterfalls, and about 300 lakes.The structure of each mountain is incredible; it's formed in ways that almost take your breath away.Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking (窥探) out.It's definitely something you wouldn't want to miss.

Yosemite isn't the only great National Park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends.It's a great time to bond, laugh, and take in what Mother Nature offers.

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 _________.

2009-2018年高考真题任务型阅读 2009年： Communication Principles How you see yourself can make a great difference in how you communicate．“Every individual exists in a continually changing world of experience of which he（or she）is the center”．Many communication scholars and social scientists believe that people are products of how others treat them and of the messages others send them．But every day we experience the centrality of our selves in communication．A student．for instance，may describe a conflict with a teacher as unfair treatment：“I know my teacher doesn?t like the fact that I don?t agree with his opinions．and that?s why he gave me such a poor grade in that class．”The teacher might say the opposite．Each person may believe that he is correct and that the ot her person?s view is wrong．The concept of serf originates in communication．Through verbal and nonverbal symbols, a child learns to accept roles in response to the expectations of others．You establish self-image。The sort of person you believe you are，by how others think of you．Positive，negative，and neutral messages that you receive from others all play a role in determining who you are．Communication itself is probably best understood as a dialogue process．Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people．In a more obvious way．communication involves others in the sense that a competent communicator considers what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share．So，the communication begins with the self，as defined largely by others，and involves others，as defined largely by the self． Communication Occurs almost every minute of your life．If you are not communicating with yourself（thinking，planning，reacting to the world around you），you are observing others and drawing inferences from their behavior．Even if the other person did not intend a message for you．you gather observations and draw specific conclusions．A person yawns and you believe that person is bored with your message．A second person looks away from you and you conclude that person is not listening to you．A third person smiles（perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently）and you believe that he is attracted to you．We are continually picking up

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇 (名师传授解题技巧+实战练习，值得下载) 一、阅读理解解题技巧 阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力，即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。具体说来，阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：（1）掌握所读材料的主旨大意，以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节；（2）既理解具体事实，也理解抽象的概念；（3）既理解字面意思，也理解深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等；（4）既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能根据文章进行推理和判断；（5）既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。根据这几项能力测试的要求，试题中常采用如下几种题型：事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。根据这一测试要求和题型设计，答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。 1．首先解题时要充满自信。由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理，因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感，特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀，从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其实这是完全没有必要的，因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事，也是正常现象。因为按大纲要求，试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词，只要认真分析，仔细阅读，这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。 2．扫读全文，理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章，首先要快速扫读全文，虽为扫读，但不可漫不经心，阅读时也应聚精会神，力求可能多地获取材料信息，只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理，不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。

3．对症下药，各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策： （1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how 等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源，同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。 （2）推理判断题：此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思，对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手，根据上下文的内在联系，充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系，人物的动机，以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西，不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考，切勿想当然，凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。 （3）数据推算题：此题要求我们就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断，然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时，要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析，若数据信息较多，还要注意弄清数据之间的关系，同时分清有用与无用信息，最终作出正确判断。 （4）主旨大意题：此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句，抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意，因此，只要找准每段的主题句，文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。

The panel is calling for tighter controls on the industry such as requiring teenagers to get the approval from their parents before using tanning beds or limiting the use of artificial tanning to a certain age.“Given the absence of any demonstra ted benefits，I think it is an obligation for us to ban artificial tanning for those under 18，”said panelist Dr.Michael Olding. Along with a possible ban for teenagers，the panel also recommended that visible warning labels should be placed either on the tanning machines or in the salons in order to caution tanners of the possible dangers.In addition，the committee decided that stricter regulations and classifications were critical to make the machines safe r.At this time the machines are categorized as FDA Class 1 devices，the ones that are least likely to cause harm.In case the FDA decided to change their classification from Class 1 to Class 2，as advised by the panel，the FDA could limit the levels of radiation the machines emit.Class 2 devices include X-ray m achines and powered wheelchairs.

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.

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案含解析

高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案含解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Average humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. If you were born after 1978, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. Most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifetime greatly. The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. It's a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete, and electrical and plumbing (管道装置) lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered by concrete—both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17°C cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside. The village is the brainchild (主意) of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process. The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your “footprints”. （1）What does Paragraph 1 intend to tell us? A. The reason for buying fewer drinks. B. The difficult situation of wildlife. C. The amount of plastic waste. D. The seriousness of plastic pollution. （2）What is the biggest benefit to people living in the Plastic Bottle Village? A. The house will be much cooler than normal ones. B. The material of construction will be reduced a lot. C. The newly-made house can save a lot of electricity. D. The waste of the house can be consumed by fish and birds. （3）Which of the following words can best describe Robert? A. Creative. B. Courageous. C. Enthusiastic. D. Sensitive.（4）The main purpose of Robert's projects is to A. provide shelter for locals B. reuse all deserted plastic bottles C. popularize the use of plastic bottles D. raise people's environmental awareness 【答案】（1）D （2）A
