　　高考英語閱讀理解真題1

　　In my living room, there is a plaque ***匾*** that advises me to “Bloom***開花*** where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.

　　Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight­mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.

　　From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom***憂鬱*** disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” ***lunch***. In case you don't know, poke greens are a weedtype plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.

　　Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one­and­only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom***傳家寶***, but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.

　　1. “Early Childhood Development”in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.

　　A. a program directed by Dorothy

　　B. a course given by the author

　　C. an activity held by the students

　　D. an organization sponsored by Union College

　　2. In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing________.

　　A. the long track B. the poor houses

　　C. the same train D. the winding road

　　3. Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by________.

　　A. a warm welcome

　　B. the sight of poke greens

　　C. Dorothy's latest projects

　　D. a big dinner made for her

　　4. What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?

　　A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.

　　B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.

　　C. She passed the required assessment.

　　D. She received her Ph. D. degree.

　　5. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?

　　A. Whatever you do，you must do it carefully.

　　B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment.

　　C. However poor you are, you have the right to education.

　　D. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.

　　高考英語閱讀理解真題2

　　We've reached a strange-some would say unusual-point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization***WHO***, more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It's the good life that's more likely to kill us these days.

　　Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What's going on?

　　We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public­health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point.

　　In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public­health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.

　　Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world's most body­conscious country.

　　We know what we should be doing to lose weight-but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.

　　Others blame good food. They say: it's just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American­style fast food.

　　Some also blame their parents-their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they're normal in shape, or rather slim.

　　It's a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say-not as I do.

　　1. What is the“strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?

　　A. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.

　　B. Starvation is taking more people's lives in the world.

　　C. WHO report shows people's unawareness of food safety.

　　D. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO's efforts.

　　2. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?

　　A. A lot of effective diet pills are available.

　　B. Body image has nothing to do with good food.

　　C. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.

　　D. There are too many overweight people in the world.

　　3. The example of Finland is used to illustrate________.

　　A. the cause of heart disease

　　B. the fashion of body shaping

　　C. the effectiveness of a campaign

　　D. the history of a body­conscious country

　　4. Which would be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Actions or Excuses?

　　B. Overweight or Underweight?

　　C. WHO in a Dilemma

　　D. No Longer Dying of Hunger

　　高考英語閱讀理解真題3

　　Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic ***經濟的*** boom, and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy，came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn't pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango***探戈舞*** came into being.

　　At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there were many fewer women than men, so if a man didn't want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.

　　In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet***芭蕾舞*** to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes. Though not everyone approved of the new dance, saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.

　　The popularity***流行*** of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926, and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador，and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.

　　1. The origin of the tango is associated with________.

　　A. belly dancers B. American soldiers

　　C. a Spanish city D. the capital of Argentina

　　2. Which of the following is true about the tango?

　　A. It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.

　　B. People of the upper classes loved the tango most.

　　C. It was often danced by two males in the beginning.

　　D. A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.

　　3. Before World War I, the tango spread to ________.

　　A. America B. Japan

　　C. France D. South Korea

　　4. What can be the best title for the text?

　　A. How to Dance the Tango

　　B. The History of the Tango

　　C. How to Promote the Tango

　　D. The Modern Tango Boom專題十六　推理判斷

　　The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert ***警覺***. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze ***凝視*** starts to lose its focus-until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?

　　Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects ***a comb, a key, an orange and so on***, changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise***同樣地*** when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.

　　1. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's ________.

　　A. sense of hearing B. sense of sight

　　C. sense of touch D. sense of smell

　　2. Babies are sensitive to the change in ________.

　　A. the size of cards B. the colour of pictures

　　C. the shape of patterns D. the number of objects

　　3. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?

　　A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.

　　B. To see how babies recognize sounds.

　　C. To carry their experiment further.

　　D. To keep the babies' interest.

　　4. Where does this text probably come from?

　　A. Science fiction. B. Children's literature.

　　C. An advertisement. D. A science report.

　　高考英語閱讀理解真題5

　　In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festivalof music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

　　It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras ***交響樂團***. It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.

　　At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.

　　Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little­known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

　　Today the “Fringe”， once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.

　　A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

　　1. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?

　　A. To bring Europe together again.

　　B. To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.

　　C. To introduce young theatre groups.

　　D. To attract great artists from Europe.

　　2. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?

　　A. They owned a public house there.

　　B. They came to take up a challenge.

　　C. They thought they were also famous.

　　D. They wanted to take part in the festival.

　　3. Who joined the “Fringe” after it appeared?

　　A. Popular writers.

　　B. University students.

　　C. Artists from around the world.

　　D. Performers of music and dance.

　　4. We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival ________.

　　Tail Spin

　　Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin, Grace, shows off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however，is that she's even swimming at all. She doesn't have a tail.

　　Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it?” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it-but her tail didn't. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.

　　Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way-like a fish! She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.

　　The movements put harmful pressure on Grace's backbone. So a company offered to create a man­made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn't hurt her.

　　The first time Grace wore the artificial tail, she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time，others not at all. “The new tail isn't necessary for her to feel comfortable，” says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion ***動作*** and build muscles ***肌肉***.”

　　Now，the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man­made tail gives people so much courage.

　　1. When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her________.

　　A. physical build

　　B. potential ability

　　C. chance of survival

　　D. adaptation to the surroundings

　　2. A man­made tail is created for Grace to________.

　　A. let her recover faster

　　B. make her comfortable

　　C. adjust her way of swimming

　　D. help her perform better tricks

　　3. The story of Grace inspires people to________.

　　A. stick to their dreams

　　When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.

　　For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved***毫無掩飾的***.

　　In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement，love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.

　　In adulthood the things that bring deep joy-love, marriage, birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated ***複雜的***.

　　My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends，the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.

　　I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch­box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.

　　Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don't think that my grandmother，who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.

　　We，however，with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we've got to have. We're so self­conscious about our“right” to it that it's making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.

　　Happiness isn't about what happens to us-it's about how we see what happens to us. It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It's not wishing for what we don't have，but enjoying what we do possess.

　　1. As people grow older, they________.

　　A. feel it harder to experience happiness

　　B. associate their happiness less with others

　　C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness

　　D. tend to believe responsibility means happiness

　　2. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 5 and 6?

　　A. She cares little about her own health.

　　B. She enjoys the freedom of traveling.

　　C. She is easily pleased by things in daily life.

　　D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework.

　　3. What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?

　　A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness.

　　B. Psychologists' opinion is well proved by Grandma's case.

　　C. Grandma often found time for social gatherings.

　　D. Crandma's happiness came from modest expectations of life.

　　4. People who equal happiness with wealth and success ________.

　　A. consider pressure something blocking their way

　　B. stress their right to happiness too much

　　C. are at a loss to make correct choices

　　D. are more likely to be happy

　　5. What can be concluded from the passage?

　　A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative.

　　B. Each man is the master of his own fate.

　　C. Success leads to happiness.

　　D. Happy is he who is content.

　　高考英語閱讀理解真題9

　　The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head stubbornly-and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book，but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

　　“If you come by right now，” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”

　　I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others?

　　In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice­cold one.

　　When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don't worry. The dentist is very good.”

　　“How long do I have to wait for him?”I asked impatiently.

　　“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork，” the assistant said.

　　“The artwork?” I was puzzled.

　　The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.

　　What a relief!

　　1. Which of the following best describes the author's feeling that morning?

　　A. Cheerful. B. Nervous.

　　C. Satisfied. D. Upset.

　　2. What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?

　　A. The dentist's agreeing to treat her at very short notice.

　　B. The dentist's being as busy as the other dentists.

　　C. The surroundings of the dentist's office.

　　D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.

　　3. Why did the author suddenly smile?

　　A. Because the dentist came at last.

　　B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.

　　C. Because she could relax in the chair.

　　D. Because the assistant kept comforting her.

　　4. What did the author learn from her experience most probably?

　　A. Strike while the iron is hot.

　　B. Have a good word for one's friend.

　　C. Put oneself in others' shoes.

　　D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

　　1.A'細節理解題。由第一段的...，which seems to get rarer the older we get.可知，我們年齡越大，快樂就會越少。故選A項。

　　2.C'推理判斷題。第五段主要講了作者對快樂的理解：我們越享受我們所擁有的，我們就會越快樂。第六段主要講了作者的一次經歷，孩子和丈夫的吵鬧聲也讓作者感受到了快樂。所以從這兩段我們可以得知作者很容易從日常生活中感到快樂。故選C項。

　　3.D'推理判斷題。本段心理學家認為快樂的來源是有可以享受的休閒時間和令人滿意的工作。而作者的奶奶對於心理學家認為的快樂來源都沒有，但是有自己的朋友和親人，這或許是讓奶奶滿意也是快樂的事情。故選D項***奶奶的快樂來自於對生活適度的期盼。***。

　　4.B'推理判斷題。第八段告訴我們：在每個領域我們有太多的選擇和追求成功的壓力，我們已經把快樂變成了另外一個東西，甚至把它等同於財富和成功，但是我們沒有注意到其實擁有財富和成功的人不一定更快樂。故選B項。

　　5.D'推理判斷題。本篇文章的中心段是最後一段。在最後一段作者指出我們的快樂不是去期望我們沒有得到的東西，而是要享受我們所擁有的。故選D項。

　　[長難句]　When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.當我們被問及快樂的時候，我們經常會想到一些不同尋常的東西，一種完全的愉悅，而這種快樂隨著我們年齡的增大似乎變得越來越少了。

　　When***we are*** asked about happiness，相當於一個由when引導的運用省略的時間狀語從句;an absolute delight是前面something extraordinary的同位語;which引導的是一個非限制定語從句，先行詞是something extraordinary，在定語從句中作主語。
