高三英语阅读理解(人生百味)试题经典

一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类

1．阅读理解

Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!

Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart. "When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive." He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support his opinion.

When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones (荷尔蒙) including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body's main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight-or-flight response. However, when we are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.

Researchers say the connection between stress and heart disease is still unclear. However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may have an unhealthy lifestyle, which can lead to health problems.

Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish ... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects.

"Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health." And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone's heart health.

（1）Which of the following agrees with Dr. Chockalingam's opinion?

A.Smile has the same effects as laughter.

B.Smile can be used to take the place of medicine.

C.Smile is better than any healthy lifestyle to health.

D.Smile can make our body produce beneficial chemicals.

（2）What can we know about the mentioned stress hormones?

A.They can lower our blood pressure.

B.They will surely lead to heart diseases.

C.They can benefit us when we are in danger.

D.They will make us live an unhealthy lifestyle.

（3）Why does Dr. Chockalingam think smiling is helpful to our health?

A.It can make us relax.

B.It increases sugar levels.

C.It has little bad side effects.

D.It can happen for no reason.

（4）What can be the best title for the text?

A.A Thorough Analysis of the Causes of Heart Diseases

B.One Thing You Can Do Right Now to Help Your Heart

C.One Thing That Is Closely Connected with Stress Hormones

D.The Clear Connection Between Unhealthy Lifestyles and Heart Diseases

【答案】（1）D

（2）C

（3）A

（4）B

（4）考查主旨大意。根据第二段中的“Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbi a, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart.”哥伦比亚的心脏病专家Chockalingam博士建议他的病人保持微笑。他说，微笑可能是帮助心脏的一种方式。以及结合文章内容主要介绍了微笑能够让我们放松进而有利于我们的健康，所以要健康那就要多微笑，所以选B。

2．阅读理解

When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.

But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help

them feel less alone.

Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.

After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.

Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone's life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change.

3．阅读理解

If your life were a book and you were the author, how would you want your story to go? That's the question that changed my life forever.

At the age of 19, I became a massage therapist(治疗师). For the first time in my life, I felt free, independent and completely in control of my life. That is, until my life took a detour. I was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. Over the course of two months, I lost my spleen(脾), my kidneys, and both of my legs below the knees.

One day, I went home. I crawled into bed and this is what my life looked like for the next few months me passed out, escaping from reality, with my legs resting by my side. I was completely physically and emotionally broken. But I knew that in order to move forward, I had to let go of the old Amy and learn to embrace the new Amy. And that is when I began to realize that I didn't have to be small any more. I could be as tall as I wanted or as short as I wanted depending on whom I was dating. And if I snowboard again, my feet aren't going to get cold. And the best of all, I thought, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes that are on the sales shelf. And I did!

I started snowboarding. Then I went back to work. And then I co-founded a non-profit organization for physical disabilities so that they could get involved in action sports. And just this past February, I won two World Cup gold medals, making me the highest-ranked adaptive female snowboarder in the world.

Eleven years ago, when I lost my legs, I had no idea what to expect. But if you ask me today, if I would ever want to change my situation, I would have to say no, because my legs haven't

disabled me. They've forced me to rely on my imagination and to believe in possibilities, and that's why I believe that our imaginations can be used as tools for breaking through borders, because in our minds, we can do anything and we can be anything. It's belief in those dreams and facing our fears directly that allow us to live our lives beyond our limits.

A. The author no longer wanted to make friends with Amy.

B. The author realized she had to learn to accept a new "herself" gladly.

A. The author didn't like her job as a massage therapist.

B. The author is still very sensitive to her disabilities.

C. The author has learnt to see her disabilities as blessings.

A. Roman is not built in one day.

B. Failure is the mother of success

C. Imagination is more important than knowledge.

D. It is not what happens to you but how you respond that counts.

A. proud but stubborn

B. interesting but regretful

C. optimistic and inspiring

D. pessimistic and doubtful

【答案】（1）B

（2）C

（3）D

（4）C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者Amy用她的故事告诉了我们：只要我们拥抱挑战，敢于想象，心怀感恩，我们依然可以给烂透了的生活——绝地反击。

（1）考查句义猜测。根据第三段中的“But I knew that in order to move forward, I had to let go of the old Amy and learn to embrace the new Amy.”但是我知道，为了前进，我不得不放开旧的艾米，学会拥抱新的艾米）可推出，作者意识到她必须学会快乐地接受一个新的“自己”。故选B。

4．阅读理解

When I was about 5 years old, I experienced my very first random act of kindness. I was sitting at the roadside one evening, crying alone for some reason when suddenly, a boy came up to me and gave me a plastic rose, I remember the moment when I took the rose from his hand; I was smiling from ear to ear, whispering "I want to be like him" to myself as I watched him walking away.

From then on, I made it as my life mission to do random acts of kindness whenever I can. I was very determined to make other people smile. That was the only reason why I joined my school's Red Crescent Society and became a volunteer. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks in the same way as I did. Whenever I do something nice to others, people around me will start to judge my actions. Often I will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a while, they do drive me up the wall.

These people like to complain about how humans nowadays are lacking of humanities and compassion. However, when they actually see somebody doing a good deed in front of them, they start to question and criticize that person's honesty. Perhaps it is the increasing crime rate and the never-ending rat race that caused them to be so suspicious to nice strangers. In other words, people nowadays have lost sight of the real meaning of kindness and just let it go unnoticed. That is why I think random acts of kindness are really important. These selfless acts are not only capable of bringing joy to the receivers but also to the givers. Because of this, I want to help spread the idea of these random acts to the whole world. I want to show the people how the little things they give could make a big difference in someone else's life.

（1）What was the influence of the boy's rose on the author?

A. It made the author feel ashamed.

B. The author decided to follow suit.

C. The author said a lot to the boy.

D. It gave the author strength and hope.

（2）Why did the author join the school's Red Crescent Society?

A. To be a volunteer.

B. To live a happy life.

C. To make others smile.

D. To have a good time.

（3）Which can replace the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2?

A. Make me very angry.

B. Bring difficulty to me.

C. Force me to climb the wall.

D. Force me to the dead corner.

【答案】（1）B

（2）C

（3）A

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者由小时候第一次经历随机的善意行为得到启发，加入了学校的Red Crescent Society想让别人微笑。但每当作者对别人做了好事，周围的人就会开始评判作者的行为。作者认为这些人喜欢抱怨现在的人类是多么缺乏人文和同情心。然而，当他们真正看到某人在他们面前做好事时，他们开始质疑和批评这个人的诚实。正因为如此，作者想把这些随机行为的理念传播到全世界，想向人们展示，他们所付出的每一件小事都能给别人的生活带来巨大的改变。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的”I was smiling from ear to ear, whispering “I want to be like him” to myself as I watched him walking away.“我笑得合不拢嘴，看着他走开，我低声对自己说:“我想成为他那样的人。可知收到男孩的玫瑰的影响，作者决定效仿。故选B。（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的”From then on, I made it as my li fe mission to do random acts of kindness whenever I can. I was very determined to make other people smile. That was the only reason why I joined my school's Red Crescent Society and became a volunteer.“从那时起，我就把尽我所能做随机的善举作为我的人生使命。我下定决心要让别人微笑。这就是我加入学校Red Crescent Society并成为一名志愿者的唯一原因。作者加入学校的Red Crescent Society的原因是为了让别人微笑。故选C。

（3）考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的”Whenever I do something nice to others, people around me will start to judge my actions. Often I will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a wh ile“可知每当我对别人做了好事，我周围的人就会开始评判我的行为。通常我会保持沉默，忽略他们说的话，但每隔一段时间，这些人还是真的会让作者特别生气。上文but可知前后文表示转折，周围人的言语偶尔还是会让作者非常生气。故可推测划线部分短语意思为“是我非常生气”。故选A。

5．阅读理解

It was the night before my election. I was running for Sophomore Vice President.

I had prepared a performance for the election--a funny boxing match. The fight had popular moves as seen in Dodge Ball, Iron Man, and Super Smash Brothers. In the end, I would perform my famous move, the Power-Punch from Hot Rod.

My friend Cheyenne and I rehearsed (排练) the fight for hours, but the fight would not be a fight without music and sound effects. This is where my brother came in. He stayed up all night to

work on that soundtrack. And when my computer's disk burner (刻录机) went out at 6 in the morning, he spent a college student's week's worth of incomes to replace it.

Why would he go into all that trouble? Because he knew that out of all the other important things he could be doing, this was imperative to me. He knew because it was once important to him. Having graduated from Layton High just a year earlier, he knew what it was like to be in the center of people's attention. He knew how fun high school could be, and he wanted me to have a great experience.

I ended up losing the election, but that day changed my world forever. The lesson my brother taught me became my most important belief. But it wasn't until I had a similar opportunity that I really understood why he cared so much.

What did it take for me to understand? It was the performance. The rest of the cast and I would rehearse every day after school for 6 months all for what? The chance to perform a play eight times. As I came out on that stage for the first time and listened to the laughter, I was filled with joy. By the end of the play, the audience broke into tears, and so did we. What happened? We had the sweet opportunity of giving them an unforgettable theatre moment -- a moment to laugh, reflect, and shed tears.

（1）Why did the author prepare a performance?

A. To prove he had a gift for performing.

B. To introduce moves from some movies.

C. To celebrate his success after the election.

D. To increase his chance of winning the election.

（2）How did the author's brother respond when the computer's disk burner went out? A. He decided to give up in the end. B. He bought one with his own money.

C. He found another way to make music.

D. He borrowed one from a college student.

（3）What does the underlined word "imperative" in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Important

B. Pleasant

C. Difficult

D. Useful

（4）What did the author most probably learn from his brother?

A. We should try our best to do everything well.

B. We should spread the kindness we have received.

C. Family members should always support each other.

D. Happiness comes from what we do to brighten others' life.

【答案】（1）D

6．阅读理解

On a recent night, while I was busy thinking about important social issues, like what to do over the week﹣end and who to do it with, I overheard my parents talking about my future. My dad was upset not the usual stuff that he and Mom and, I guess, a lot of parents worry about like which college I' m going to, how far away it is from home. Instead, he was upset about the world his generation is turning over to mine, a world he fears has a dark and difficult future if it has a future at all.

"There will be a disease that kills millions, a disastrous energy crisis, a horrible worldwide depression and a nuclear explosion set off in anger."

As I lay on the living room couch, listening to their conversation, starting to worry about the future my father was describing, I found myself looking at some old family photos. There was a picture of my grandfather who was a member of the class of 1942, the war class. Next to his picture were photos of my great﹣grandparents. Seeing those pictures made me feel a lot better.

I believe tomorrow will be better than today — that the world my generation grows into is going to get better, not worse. Those pictures helped me understand why.

I considered some of the awful things my grandparents and great﹣grandparents had seen in their lifetimes: two world wars, killer flu, segregation（隔离） , a nuclear bomb. But they saw other things, too, better things: the end of two world wars, passage of the civil rights laws.

I believe that my generation will see better things, too that we will witness the time when AIDS is cured and cancer is defeated. I will see things as incredible to me today as the internet to my father when he was 16.

Singles Day: Alibaba Says a Lot of People in China Bought Online

The planet's biggest shopping day has come and gone, and Alibaba again showed the world how many mountains of stuff (物品) it could persuade people to buy in the 24 hours.

Monday was Nov. 11, known in China as Singles Day. This year, nearly $38.3 billion worth of stuff was sold on Alibaba's platforms (平台) that day, beating last year's $30.8 billion and making

Black Friday look, yet again, like a yard sale.

China has grown richer and more digitally connected. Alibaba has become a technology powerhouse. Along the way, the company has made a few famous friends. This year the singer Taylor Swift performed in its live-streamed evening gala (庆典) in Shanghai on Sunday. In previous years the model Miranda Kerr and the actors Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig also showed on the Singles Day stage.

Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese manufacturers with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, https://www.360docs.net/doc/4275686.html, allowed people to buy almost everything. Alibaba's advantage wasn't hard to see: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards.

Alibaba now calls itself a data and technology company, one that provides digital tools to help the businesses on its platforms. That, in turn, leads consumers to look to those platforms for their every need, from shopping and services to entertainment and travel. Today, Alibaba is itself a gigantic company, and it wants to grow bigger still.

A.A textbook.

B.A newspaper.

C.4.

D.5.

B.Its service.

C.Its price.

D.Its size.

（4）Which word can replace the underlined word "gigantic" in the last paragraph ?

B.Small.

C.Good.

D.Successful.

【答案】（1）B

8．阅读理解

If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. So it may become part of your "inner speech." In other words, you start thinking in that language. Your mind stops trying to translate things from your native language into the second language. But most of the English learners live in places where English is not the main language. This may be true for you. You may not have many chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught.

Thinking in English really helps! It is not very difficult, but it does need practice. Here we will share some mental exercises. A good first step is to think in words. Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. Charles Thomas has taught English for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are.

Another exercise Thomas suggest is describing in your mind objects you don't know the words for. An example would be if you couldn't think of the word "garage". Thomas says, "If you're looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can't think of the name in English. You can say, 'The place inside where I put my car' or you can say, 'It's next to my house. I keep things there.'"

The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, "It's such a beautiful day" and "People are playing sports with their friends." You can also describe your daily activities. Thomas asks his students to describe their day using the simple present verb form. So, they would think to themselves things like, "I put on my shirt" and "He drives the bus."

How much time should you spend on these exercises? Thomas says you do a little every day. "When you make things a habit, then it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you're thinking in English."

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在语言环境中学习语言的重要性，并给出了具体的学习方法。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中“So it may become part of your ‘inner speech.’ In other words, you start thinking in that language. ”可知，当第二种语言成为你“内在语言”的一部分时，你就会开始用这种语言思考。故选B。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Another exercise Thomas suggest is describing in your mind objects you don't know the words for. ”可知，此句是总述句，因此“The place inside where I put my car”“我停车的地方”是用来支撑总述句“托马斯建议描述你的头脑中一些你不知道的东西”的例子。故选C。

（3）考查主旨大意。纵观全文全文可知，在一个大多数人都说你正在学习的语言的地方，你可以每天使用这种语言几个小时，然而大多数人不具备这样的条件，全文为这类人提供了具体的学习方法，目的要达到用这种语言进行思考。故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

Guess what former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and United States president Donald Trump's granddaughter, Arabella Kushner, have in common? They both study Chinese as a second language.

Although Chinese is known as one of the hardest languages to learn, a lot of people from different backgrounds are studying it with hopes of big benefits.

Nov 2 saw more than 120 people, coming from 105 countries, compete in the finals of the 12th "Chinese Bridge" Chinese Proficiency Competition for foreign secondary school students. Held in Zhengzhou, Henan province, the finals was mainly made up of speech contests and talent shows. The contestants also visited the Shaolin Temple, Longmen Grottoes and other historical sites in

Henan.

While reasons for learning Chinese were different, a common one was interest in the country's rich culture and rapid development.

Raissa, 17, from the Union of the Comoros, developed a strong emotional connection with China after her grandmother was cured by doctors of the Chinese medical team in Africa three years ago. This led her to learn Chinese at a local Confucius Institute.

Fascinated by Chinese culture, the competitor has taken part in activities on traditional Chinese medicine and folk arts during her first trip to China. "My dream is to study medicine in China so that I could cure patients like the Chinese doctors did," she said.

For Fekete Marcell Zoltan, 17, from the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School, studying Chinese may secure him a future job as a Hungarian diplomat(外交官) to China. "After graduation from high school, I would like to further my studies in China," he said.

Robert Davis, director of the Chinese-language program in Chicago's public school system, may give you a hint. "Chinese isn't the new French. It's the new English, which is widely used all over the world." he told CGTN.

（1）Why are Mark Zuckerberg and Arabella Kushner mentioned in paragraph one?

A.To show Chinese is popular.

10．阅读理解

Swimming in the water of Hawaii's Big Island is a fun experience. But it can be more exciting if there are dolphins swimming around and jumping out of the sea too. For many people, it would be a wonderful dream to swim with these lovely animals! However, this may not be good for dolphins. They may get hurt because of human interaction (互动).

Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night. In the day, they like to rest in shallow bays(浅湾). Many people think the dolphins are awake during the day as they swim. But when they sleep they rest half of their brain and keep the other half awake to breathe, so they may be sleeping even when they're swimming in the water.

From 2010 to 2013, spinner dolphins (飞旋海豚) of Hawaii's Big Island were exposed to human activities more than 82 percent of the time, according to Julian Tyne, a researcher at Australia's Murdoch University.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says disturbing the animals in their near-shore habitat could force them to swim to less favorable places, putting them at risk of attack by sharks and other animals.

Besides, when people are around, dolphins become more active. Thus, they can't get enough sleep. “Disturbing t heir resting behaviors can actually affect their long term health and the health of the dolphin population," Ann Garrett of NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service told the Associated Press.

As a result, the NOAA wants to make rules to help protect the dolphins. For example, the agency (机构) may ban swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins. Or they may stop people from swimming in shallow bays when the dolphins are resting. Tour operators must also be taught to watch for signs to know when the dolphins are in their resting state.

（1）Which of the following about dolphins is NOT true?

A.They spend most of their time sleeping at night.

B.They like to stay in shallow bays during the day.

C.They keep half of their brain awake while sleeping.

D.They may be sleeping even when they're swimming.

（2）When dolphins are disturbed in their near-shore habitat, they _____.

A.would swim to a crowded place

B.could move closer to sharks

C.could become less active

D.could likely sleep longer

（3）Which activity is against the rules?

A.Swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins.

B.Swimming in bays where the dolphins live.

C.Making signs that show the dolphins' resting state.

D.Making signs that show where the dolphins are.

（4）What does the article mainly talk about?

A.What habits dolphins have.

B.What spinner dolphins are.

C.How the animals live in the sea.

D.How to protect dolphins near the shore.

【答案】（1）A

（2）B

（3）A

（4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了海豚的生活习性，以及与人类的相处，建议人们保护海豚。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night.”海豚夜晚活跃并猎食，可知海豚晚上大多数时间睡觉，描述错误，故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“disturbing the animals in their near-shore habitat could force them to swim to less favorable places, putting them at risk of attack by sharks and other animals.” 可知，妨碍动物在近岸栖息可能迫使他们游向不愉快的地方，它们可能会遭受鲨鱼和其它动物的袭击，故选B。

（3）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“the agency (机构) may ban swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins”可知在此地游泳会打扰到海豚。故选A。
