(英语)高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析
一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解
Flying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throwyour bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA.
The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over 1.5 billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard. However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don't normally see. The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices.
This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets you write stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter. (1)The first paragraph is meant to .
A. offer a suggestion B. give a warning C. explain a reason D. introduce the topic (2)It can be learned from the text that more and more people will . A. prefer to read local news B. pay more attention to world news C. start a career in citizen journalism D. give up watching TV news programmes (3)What would be the best title for the text?
A. The Latest Local News B. More Choices for News C. The End of TV News D. Traditional World News 【答案】(1)D (2)C (3)B

Blue Planet II's latest episode (情节) focuses on how plastic is having a destructive effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics, plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment, but we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent. And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag-when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
(1)Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science? A.The plastics pollution research is too difficult. B.Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C.Plastics have gained popularity too fast for science to catch up. D.The world couldn't possibly function without plastics.
(2)How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?
A.By citing quotes from leading experts. B.By making a comparison and contrast. C.By listing examples from his own experience. D.By presenting solid statistics.
(3)What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A.We reap what we sow. B.The shortest answer is doing.
C.All things are difficult before they are easy. D.Actions speak louder than words.
(4)What is the main idea of the passage? A.The oceans become choked with plastic. B.Ocean plastic is a global issue.
C.Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken. D.Plastics gain in popularity all over the world. 【答案】 (1)C (2)D (3)B (4)A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,研究人员最近还发现,生活在地球最深处马里亚纳海沟的海洋生物胃里有塑料。事实上,海洋正淹没在塑料之中。据估计,海洋塑料每年杀死数百万海洋动物,不仅仅是野生动物受到海洋塑料的威胁,人类也会通过食用海鲜来消耗塑料。作者认为最好的办法就是人类开始采取行动。
(1)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.”这种增长速度如此之快,以至于科学仍在追赶这种变化。例如,塑料污染研究仍然是一门非常早期的科学,可知,塑料污染研究仍然是一门非常早期的科学是因为塑料的普及速度太快,以至于科学无法跟上。故选C。
(2)考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.”人们发现,三分之一的棱皮龟的腹部都有塑料制品,而它们经常把塑料袋误认为是水母。现在,90%的海鸟定期食用塑料制品。到2050年,这一数字预计将升至100%,可知,作者在第三段是通过提供可靠的统计数据来支持自己观点的。故选D。
(3)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag-when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference. ”在使用一次性塑料产品之前,我们都可以三思而后行。一些看起来很普通的东西,比如使用可重复使用的瓶子或袋子——如果把它们放在一起,这些选择确实会有所不同,可知,作者在最后一段想告诉我们对于塑料污染最简短的回答就是采取行动。故选B。
(4)考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“Researchers recently also found that sea creatures
living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, oceans are drowning in plastic.”研究人员最近还发现,生活在地球最深处马里亚纳海沟的海洋生物胃里有塑料。事实上,海洋正淹没在塑料之中)结合文章主要内容为说明海洋被大量的塑料充斥着,影响了海洋生物和人类,故选A。

3.阅读理解
Nothing good generally comes of a conversation that start with the words, \probably sit down before I tell you this.”
And so it came to pass. Away for Christmas, we got a call from kind friends at home, our neighbour's house had caught fire while they were out. The fire didn't spread to our house but the smoke very much did.
It's weeks of either throwing out, or sending away for specialist cleaning, every single thing into which smoke could have permeated(渗透)because the particles(微粒) are an ongoing health risk and washing isn't enough. Anything soft—sofas and carpets and children's teddy bears, clothes—is suspected. We will be seeing in the New Year in a decidedly minimalist fashion.
What I didn't expect to feel, however, is this lucky. Friends and neighbours have come together with incredible generosity. We will never again underestimate the closeness of the village community in which we live, or the innate kindness that is most people's natural reaction to trouble, and are grateful to be reminded of so much that is good. But that's not the only thing I've learned. For in a sense, we have a chance to start again.
The surprise on being forced to think about what might urgently need replacing is how short the list of essentials seems; how much we must have been hanging on to out of habit, and how much we have been conditioned to think was important.
It's all too easily assumed that family history lives in tangible(有形的)things— old photographs, a dress bought decades ago for a night heavy with memories — but that's not quite right. These things were only reminders of what we already carry with us in head and heart.
Walking through the house, sweeping up the broken glass, I realised that the answer to the old question of \would you save in a fire? \is actually that nothing really matters but each other.
(1)What happened to the author's house? A.It caught a fire. B.It was affected by a fire. C.It was broken into by friends. D.Its windows were broken.
(2)What does the underlined word \ A.something that may be damaged. B.something that may not be genuine. C.something that may not be so good.
D.something that may be dangerous.
(3)What did the author expect to feel? A.People around him were cold to others' trouble. B.His friends and neighbours were so generous. C.People in his community were close to each other. D.He was so lucky to find much that was good.
(4)How will the author probably feel when the New Year finally comes? A.Worried. B.Surprised. C.Excited. D.Contented. 【答案】 (1)B (2)A (3)A (4)D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者家房子受到火灾影响,物品受损,一切都需要清理,但朋友们和邻居们提供的帮助,让作者感受到了他们的善良,对他们感恩。作者感受到拥有彼此才是最重要的。
(1)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“our neighbour's house had caught fire while they were out. The fire didn't spread to our house but the smoke very much did.”;第三段中的“every single thing into which smoke could have permeated”可知邻居家在外出时着火了,虽然火没有蔓延到作者家,但烟殃及了房子,作者家的房子受到了影响。故选B。
(2)考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“every single thing into which smoke could have permeated(渗透)because the particles(微粒) are an ongoing health risk and washing isn't enough.”可知每件被烟雾渗透的物品都要专门清洗或扔掉,因为那些微粒威胁健康,有的仅清洗是不行的。此句涉及的那些柔软的东西被认为可能是被污染损害的东西,suspected指的就是这些东西。故选A。
(3)考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“What I didn't expect to feel, however, is this lucky.”作者没想到的是自己家很幸运,下文提到朋友们和邻居们都提供了帮助,作者从中感受到了他们的善良。由此推知作者原来认为的是人们会对别人家的困难很冷漠,故选A。 (4)考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“We will be seeing in the New Year in a decidedly minimalist fashion.”可知作者家房子受到火灾影响,物品受损,一切都需要清理,作者认为即将到来的新年肯定是简约的。但朋友们和邻居们提供的帮助,让作者感受到了他们的善良,对他们感恩;再根据最后一段中的“I realised that the answer to the old question of ‘What would you save in a fire? ’ is actually that nothing really matters but each other.”作者感受到拥有彼此才是最重要的。这些说明作者是满足的,故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,同时根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,从而选出正确答案。
