高考英语一轮复习 阅读理解精编（一）（含解析）1

广东台山县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解精编（一）（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。体裁：记叙文话题：学校生活词数：638时间：8As graduation day approached, excitement increased.Being out of high school meant I was finally coming of age.Soon I would be on my own，making my own decisions, doing what I wanted without someone looking over my shoulder and it meant going to school with boysa welcome change coming from an allgirl high school.There was never any question in my mind that I would go to a college away from home.My mothers idea, on the other hand, was just the opposite.Trying her best not to force her preferences on me, she would subtly ask whether I had considered particular schools, all of which happened to be located in or near my hometown of Chicago.Once it was established that, as long as it was financially affordable, I would be going away anyway, my familys perspective changed.Their concern shifted from whether I was going away to how far.The schools I was considering on the East Coast suddenly looked much more attractive than those in California.But which college I would attend was just one of what seemed like a neverending list of unknowns：What would college be like？Would I be unbearably lonely not knowing anyone else who was going to the same school？Would the other students like me？Would I make friends easily？Would I miss my family so much that I wouldnt be able to stand it？And what about the workwould I be able to keep up？(Being an A student in high school seemed to offer little assurance that I would be able to survive college.) What if the college I selected turned out to be a horrible mistake？Would I be able to transfer to another school?Then panic set in.My feelings took a 180degree turn.I really didnt want to leave high school at all, and it was questionable whether I wanted to grow up after all.It had been nice being respected as a senior by the underclass students for the past year; I didnt enjoy the idea of being_on_the_bottom_rung_of_the_ladder again.Despite months of expectation, nothing could have prepared me for the impact of the actual day.As the familiar music of “Pomp and Circumstance” echoed in the background, I looked around at the other students in white caps and gowns as we solemnly (庄严地) filed into the auditorium (礼堂)Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes, and I was consumed by a rush of sadness.As if in a daze, I rose from my seat when I heard my name called and slowly crossed the stage to receive my diploma (毕业证书)As I reached out my hand, I knew that I was reaching not just for a piece of paper but for a brandnew life.Exciting as the prospect of a new life seemed, it wasnt easy saying goodbye to the old onesthe familiar faces, the familiar routine.I would even miss that chemistry class I wasnt particularly fond of and the long commute each day between home and school that I hated.Good or bad, it was what I knew.That September, I was fortunate to attend a wonderful university in Providence, Rhode Island.I neednt have worried about liking it.My years there turned out to be some of the best years of my life.And as for friends, I still treasure some of the friendships I formed there today.Years later, financial difficulties forced my high school to close its doors for good.Although going back is impossible, its comforting to know I can revisit my special memories any time.【语篇解读】本文讲述了作者高中毕业之际一系列复杂的情感变化，既有兴奋、期待，又有不舍、彷徨。1Which of the following is NOT the reason for the authors feeling excited about graduation?AMaking her own decision.BDoing whatever she wants.CHaving schoolmates of both sexes.DGetting away from parents.答案D考查细节理解。由第一段可知，作者对毕业感到兴奋的原因有“可以自己作决定”(making my own decisions)、“可以为所欲为”(doing what I wanted without someone looking over my shoulder)、“离开女校和男孩一起上学”(going to school with boys)。因此，通过排除法得出答案为D。2The authors mother _Adidnt care which college her daughter went toBtried her best to tell the author which college was her favoriteCpreferred the colleges on the East Coast to those in CaliforniaDwas willing to allow the author to make her own choice答案C考查细节理解。由第二段中的“The schools I was considering on the East Coast suddenly looked much more attractive than those in California”可知，作者所考虑的在东海岸的那些学校突然间就比那些在加利福尼亚的学校看上去更吸引人。因此，作者的母亲更喜欢离家比较近的在东海岸的学校。3Why did the author worry about her schoolwork in college?AGood performance in high school doesnt necessarily mean success in college.BFeeling lonely in an entirely new school may have a negative influence.CUnbearable homesickness may stop the author from focusing on study.DPeer pressure in a good university makes it hard to keep up.答案A考查细节理解。由第三段中的“Being an A student in high school seemed to offer little assurance that I would be able to survive college”可知，作为高中时的尖子生似乎并不能保证作者在大学的学习中立于不败之地，作者因此对大学学业感到担忧。故答案选A。4What does the underlined part “being on the bottom rung of the ladder” mean?ABeing a freshman.BBeing an unpopular student.CBeing a loser.DBeing a childish person.答案A考查短语猜测。由第四段中的“It had been nice being respected as a senior by the underclass students for the past year；I didnt enjoy the idea.”可知，作者很喜欢作为毕业班学生被学弟学妹们尊重的日子，而到了大学就会变成一名新生(freshman)，就没有学弟学妹了。由此推知答案选A。5What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?AThe author was eager to say goodbye to the old school days.BThe author found she was attached to her old school on graduation day.CThe author missed her chemistry lessons because they were her favorite.DThe author felt comforted because she could revisit her old school.答案B考查细节理解。由第五段中的“it wasnt easy saying goodbye to the old onesthe familiar faces，the familiar routine”可知，作者十分留恋高中生活。be attached to意为“喜欢/依恋”。因此答案选B。6What does the author mainly describe in this article?AHer happiness to be admitted to a wonderful university.BHer eagerness to go to a wonderful university far away from home.CHer excitement during the months leading to the graduation ceremony.DHer mixed feelings during the months before and on graduation day.答案D考查主旨大意。本文讲述了作者高中毕业之际一系列复杂的情感变化，既有兴奋、期待，又有不舍、彷徨。因此，答案选D。阅读理解。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。Some years ago I took on a task in a southern county to work with people on public welfare. What I wanted to do was to show that everybody has the capacity to be self sufficient and all we have to do is to activate（激励）them. I asked the country to pick up a group of people who were on public welfare, people from different racial groups and different family groups. I would then see them as a group for three hours every Friday. I also asked for a little petty cash to work with, as I needed it.The first thing I said after I shook hands with everybody was, “Id like to know what your dreams are.” Everyone looked at me as if I were kind of fool.One woman said to me, “I dont know what you can do with dreams. The rats are eating up my kids.”“Oh,” I said, “Thats terrible. No, of course, you are very much involved with the rats and your kids. How can that be helped?”“Well, I could use a new screen door because there are holes in my screen door.” I asked, “Is there anybody around here who know how to fix a screen door?”There was a man in the group and he said, “A long time ago I used to do things like that but now I have a terribly bad back, but Ill try.”I told him I had some money if he would go to the store and but some screening and go and fix the ladys screen door. “Do you think you can do that?”“Yes, Ill try.”The next week, when the group was seated. I said to the woman, “Well, is your screen door fixed?”“Oh, yes.” she said.“Then we can start dreaming, cant we?” she sort of smiled at me.I said to the man who did the work, “How do you feel?”He said, “Well, you know, its very funny thing. Im beginning to feel a lot better.”That helped the group to begin to dream. These seemingly small successes allowed the group to see that dreams were not insane. These small steps began to get people to see and feel that something really could happen.Everyone found something. The man who put in the screen door became a handyman. In 12 weeks, I had all those people off public welfare. Ive not only done that once, Ive done that in many times.50Whats the opinion the author had when he took on the work? APeople need to be activated by others to make a living.BEveryone should not have depended on public welfare.CEveryone has the ability to live on without getting public welfare.DThe county should gather people from different racial groups together.51Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AThe author did the work at his own expense.BThe people the author worked with were very wealthy.CThe author usually met the people four times a month.DThe people the author worked with had no dreams at all.52What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?AThe rats are so big that they eat the children.BThe rats are crazy and have the children as food.CThe rats are giving the kids and the mother much trouble.DThe kids are too weak and even are nearly eaten by the rats.53What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?

The building the countrys largest commercial and shopping complex uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgates owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didnt have to be imported.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium (天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents (通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.During summers cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings days as warm as 31 commonly drop to 14 at night. “You couldnt do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.The engineering firm of Ove Arup & Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 and 25, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.47. Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?A. It was designed in a smaller size. B. No air conditioners were fixed in. C. Its heating system was less advanced.D. It used rather different building materials.48. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Fresh air from outside.B. Heat in the building.C. Hollow space.D. Baseboard vent. 49. Why wouldnt a building like Eastgate work efficiently in New York?A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.50. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgates temperature control system _.A. allows a wide range of temperatures B. functions well for most of the yearC. can recycle up to 30% of the airD. works better in hot seasons 【参考答案】4750、BADB
