2017高考英语阅读理解试题（含答案）

　　在阅读理解题上得分的多少很大程度上决定着高考英语的总成绩。而且,阅读量有逐渐扩大且阅读速度进一步提高的趋势。为了帮助大家训练英语阅读能力，我整理了一些高考英语阅读理解题，欢迎阅读!

　　第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)

　　第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分，满分25分)

　　阅读下面短文，从每题所给的`四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route --- through the boot(行李箱).

　　Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. "Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly," Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in."

　　Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

　　Later he said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came."

　　It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. "It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up."

　　His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Trembling in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed like hours." Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

　　21. What is the best title for this newspaper article?

　　A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, a Sweet Salesman

　　B. Car Boot Can Serve as the Best Escape Route

　　C. Driver Escapes through Car Boot

　　D. The Driver Survived a Terrible Car Accident

　　22. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 “Finally it gave” means that _______.

　　A. luckily the door was torn away in the end

　　B. at last the wrench went broken

　　C. the lock came open after all his efforts

　　D. the chance was lost at the last minute

　　23. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

　　A. the ditch was along a quiet country road

　　B. the accident happened on a clear warm day

　　C. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch

　　D. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended

　　B

　　It’s easy to think of the selfless reasons to listen. People want you to listen to them. By listening, you can help someone with a problem, or help them come up with new ideas. But listening also has selfish benefits that make it worth the investment.

　　The biggest selfish benefit is that you learn more with your mouth closed. You’ll learn more about other people, and often, about yourself, if you stop talking. Those ideas are useful if you want to improve yourself.

　　Listening also helps you think. When you’re truly listening, not just waiting for your turn to speak, you can chew over your ideas more. You can mull on points of the conversation longer. In the end, you’ll appear a lot wiser if you explain a fully-digested point of view, than if you just speak out the first response that comes to mind. Building the listening habit also makes better friends than trying to be an impressive conversationalist. People like the guy who listens more than the guy with the best jokes. Be interested, rather than interesting.

　　If the person you’re talking with doesn’t feel too chatty, bait (启发) them with a comment. Throw something at them which will make it easy for them to talk. A better strategy to listen is to master the short anecdote. This is a 2-3 sentence comment on something that the other person has said. If they are telling a long explanation of their work as an accountant, you could comment on someone you know that does accounting or something you know about accounting.

　　24. The following are talked about EXCEPT ______.

　　A. the ways of being a good listener

　　B. the benefits of building the listening habit

　　C. the ways of being a good speaker

　　D. the strategies to inspire others to speak

　　25. According to the passage, which kind of person is most probably popular with people?

　　A. The one who is good at telling jokes.

　　B. The one who has no speaking ability.

　　C. The one who is good at public speaking.

　　D. The one who is good at listening to others.

　　26. The underlined phrase “mull on” in the third paragraph means ______.

　　A. think over B. agree with C. disagree with D. put forward

　　C

　　New York’s long awaited bike share program, which arranged the distribution of 10,000 bicycles along some of the city’s busiest street, will be sponsored by Citi financial group, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced on Monday.

　　Citi Bike will be the largest public bike share system in the US, with bikes placed in 600 stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The program will be operated by Alta bicycle share, which runs similar projects in Washington D.C. and Boston.

　　“The idea behind bike share is simple: give people one more way to get around the town,” Bloomberg said in a restaurant. “The new Citi Bikes will be an affordable transportation network that will help New Yorkers get where they’re going faster. When the walk seems a little far, New Yorkers can choose to skip the hike, and take a bike.”

　　The program was announced in September 2011, and the department of transport has spent the last eight months planning locations for the stations. Full details on the locations have not been released yet, but they will include Times Square, Penn Station and close to Central Park.

　　Annual membership of the program will cost $95, which entitles (授权) users to free journeys up to 45 minutes. For those unwilling to commit to a year’s cycling, seven-day subscriptions are available for $25 or 24-hour access for $9.95, with the first 30 minutes of any journey free. The official website for the program – citibikenyc.com – says the pricing strategy is likely to ensure that riders keep their trips short. Although short journeys are free, anyone wanting to take a bike for the day will face very high charges. People who do not sign up to an annual membership – tourists, for example, would pay $49 for a three-hour ride, plus the $9.95 24-hour access fee, making a total of $59.

　　The department of transport said the bikes and stations, which will begin to be fixed from “late July”, will be the same as in London, Montreal and Minneapolis; however, in one sense Bloomberg will be hoping the New York program differs from that of London. While the London program has ended up losing money since it launched in 2010, the mayor said New York City would “split system profits with the operator”, creating a potential new income program.

　　27. According to the passage, the main purpose of setting up New York’s bike share system is to ________.

　　A. make profits from the bike users

　　B. discourage people from going hiking

　　C. reduce people’s expenses on transportation

　　D. help people travel around the city more easily

　　28. According to the passage, which of the following locations is NOT available for the Citi Bike service?

　　A. Central Park B. Time Square

　　C. Brooklyn Botanic Garden D. Penn Station

　　29. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

　　A. It is wise of people to use the bikes for short trips.

　　B. Anyone can use the bike free of charge for 45 minutes.

　　C. Most people are unwilling to pay for the annual membership.

　　D. Tourists are charged more for the use of bikes than local people.

　　30. In what sense does Bloomberg hope the New York program differs from that of London?

　　A. Better accepted. B. Better operated.

　　C. More profitable. D. More widespread.

　　第二节共5个小题;每小题2分，满分10分

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　Life can be so busy these days. It’s time that you all should admit that you need help in organizing your life. Here are some tips that will help you.

　　Write everything down and don’t rely on your memory. 31 If you want to remember things, put them in writing, or in a digital notebook. Keeping your to-do lists and other information written somewhere allows you to look back at them anytime, even when you’ve hit your head and forgotten your own name.

　　32 Try this experiment: before buying one thing, throw out something old or something you don’t use any more. Or, if you’re a really terrible pack rat, just throw out one old thing a day until you can’t find any more items to throw.

　　Recycle and donate. Is your closet full of unopened bags and clothes that still have their tags on them? Is your bookshelf full of unread books? Chances are that if you haven’t read, worn, or used them, then you’re probably not going to use them at all. 33

　　Create daily, weekly and monthly timetables for cleaning. Organize your cleaning timetables. 34 Distribute tasks evenly, for example, dish washing could be done daily while vacuuming could be done weekly and cleaning windows done monthly.

　　Whichever of these tasks you decide to do, remember that you can’t completely organize your life in one go. 35 Just decide to organize now, and then take baby steps. Soon enough, you will be making a habit of it.

　　阅读能力的提高是一个渐进的过程，任何人都不要奢望自己的阅读能力能在一朝一夕之间就达到高超的水平。为了帮助大家提高英语阅读能力，我整理了一些高考英语阅读理解试题，希望能帮到大家!

　　第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

　　第一节

　　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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special about it. Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be. 　　You don’t have to be spineless(没有骨气的.) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character. 　　You can not expect to be perfect, and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them. 　　At the same time, it is important to remember that, while you are probably no worse than others, the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you don’t like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day, things may turn out all right and then you will have to learn to get along the best with situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can’t change. 21. According to the passage, if one wants to be popular he has to _____. 　　A. be polite and friendlyB. give up some rights 　　C. avoid arguing with other peopleD. be ready to change his or her character 22.The passage shows that there is no perfect person but everyone should be blamed if he _____. A. is no better than others B. is selfish and lazy 　　C. does not draw a lesson from his own fault 　　D. is very happy about his unpleasant quality .The passage implies that in order to be a happy person, one should consider oneself _____. 　　A. no better than others 　　B. not the same as others 　　C. as having something better than others 　　D. as having better chances than others .The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to _____. 　　A. train you to be perfect 　　B. show you the way to be happy 　　C. tell you how to act when you dislike a person 　　D. teach you how to be popular among your friends

　　Teamwork is all about working together to achieve a common goal or purpose. Is teamwork out of date?Why is it so hard to effectively conduct teamwork in those days?

　　One way we employ teamwork in everyday lives is by becoming a parent. It is parents’ job to teach their children the basic skills and give them the knowledge they need to be successful in life. This，to me，requires teamwork. For example，the mother teaches her children manners and good health skills，while the father teaches them how to catch a ball or drive a car. However，in today’s society，we find that more and more parents are feeling that this teamwork is a one­sided thing. According to a report，there are 13.7 million single parents raising their children in the US and this could be due to the fact that parents don’t take responsibility for their children，so they leave one parent to do it alone. This is a sad fact，and it reflects that effective teamwork is losing ground in the parenting aspect of our everyday lives.

　　Another place where teamwork affects us greatly is in our jobs. It doesn’t matter if you have a small company or a large company：if you have at least one employee and yourself，then teamwork works. I have noticed that with the current economic recession(衰退)，people are racing to grab jobs but the quality of people’s work has gone down greatly. It just appears to me that people do not take pride in their work any more. They get to work as fast as they can，just to receive the paycheck，but their quality standards fly right out of the windows. So I think teamwork is losing ground in the workforce.

　　As you can see，we run into the aspects of teamwork in just about everything we do. Do you believe teamwork is really losing ground in today’s society?I think it is.

　　28.Why does teamwork disappear in the parenting aspect of our daily life?

　　A.Parents have no time to spare for their children.

　　B.Parents have no chances to teach their children about it.

　　C.Many children are often brought up by a single parent.

　　D.Many children are independent to deal with their matters.

　　29.Teamwork is losing ground in the workforce mainly because .

　　A.workers don’t like to work together with others

　　B.workers’ sense is affected by economic recession

　　C.workers want to prove they are more capable

　　D.fewer workers are employed to save money

　　30.The author wants us to believe his opinion by .

　　A.listing some data

　　B.giving some examples

　　C.asking some questions

　　D.analyzing some cases

　　31.The underlined phrase “fly right out of the windows” in Paragraph 3 means “ ”.

　　A.disappear B.Improve C.increase D.matter

　　D

　　Around four years ago，I received a call from the principal of our school as to the “Parents View” talk the next morning. He asked me to speak to the group. After the call，my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night，I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally，I gathered some courage. I thought，“If I miss this opportunity，surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”

　　I reached the school in time. Before my turn came，my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking，my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness：Public Speaking.

　　After my speech，I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speakers faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.

　　Around one month later，I was invited to refer to a topic on motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers，because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged me and praised my efforts.

　　After delivering it successfully，I became more confident. I said to myself，“If I can speak in front of such a learned audience，like the principal who educates others，I can now speak in front of others too.”

　　I started delivering lectures on various topics like Self Motivation，Personality Development，Personal Excellence，Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I have learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.

　　32.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　A.Practice Makes a Man a Better Speechmaker

　　B.Public Speaking Makes a Man Embarrassed

　　C.Principals Provide the Best Chances

　　D.Spoken English Develops in Making Speeches

　　33.The author had bad feelings before the speech because .

　　A.he disliked the idea of giving a lecture

　　B.he had got a high fever before that

　　C.he regretted accepting the invitation

　　D.he feared he couldn’t perform it properly

　　34.What does the underlined part “ominous apprehensions” in the first paragraph mean?

　　A.Unlucky opportunities. B.Negative ideas.

　　C.Curious views. D.Happy comments.

　　35.What can we conclude from the passage?

　　A.Nothing is to be got without pains but poverty.

　　B.Knowledge makes humble;ignorance makes proud.

　　C.A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

　　D.Necessity is the mother of invention.

That kind of anxiety isn’t as easy to tackle because even if you find a way to calm down, you still might not know what the right answers are.____40_____, you’ll be able to let your knowledge shine and score a good grade.

　　In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The ―spider story‖ is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web(蜘蛛织网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English„ Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.

　　So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?

　　Second, is the goal(目标)you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about his question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?”This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.

　　In sport the sexes(性别)are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men . A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68.Are women’s bodies really weaker?

　　The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s time are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise.

His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone (荷尔蒙)injections(注射). At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems.

　　People bury treasure to stop other people from taking it. They choose a quiet place, dig a deep hole and bury the treasure in it. Then they make a map of where the treasure is or write down other clues(线索)that will help them or someone else to find it again.

　　In Britain a few years ago; a writer wrote about some treasure that he had buried. He put clues in the story to help readers find it. Thousands of people hunted for the treasure. They dug holes all over Britain, hoping to find it.

　　One of the most popular adventure stories ever written is Robert Louis Stephenson’s ‗Treasured Island‘, an exciting story about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who is captured by pirates and later finds some buried treasure.

　　Then there is the true story about a man who had to travel overseas for a year. He did not trust banks, so he buried his life savings in a park. Then he went away. On his return, he went straight to the park. But the park was no longer there. In its place there was a huge building.

　　And then there was the man who buried his savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof(防水的) bag. When he dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten the bag and everything in it.

　　And of course, these are stories about people who bury things and either forget where they have buried them or lose the map.

　　Although it is true that people sometimes lose their money because a bank fails, banks are still the safest place to keep our savings and treasures.

　　1.People who bury treasure usually

　　A.do not trust banks

　　B.have a little money .

　　C.want to live in a quiet place.

　　In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries (神秘的事物) of nature. Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods.

　　In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡).

　　Modern science has discovered that one stroke (闪击) of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.

　　Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average (平均数) of one person every day.

　　The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress.

　　Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating(创造) new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.

　　Sometimes , however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers(汉堡包) are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)?

When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef(牛肉), they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.

　　In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop! That’s our duck!”

　　The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper(发脾气) very quickly . And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.

　　In the 1930S,’ 40s and ‘50s Donald and hid friends Mickey , Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.

　　Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.

　　1. Who made Donald Duck film?

　　Mr William Shakespeare and the Internet

　　Explanation of Contents

　　This is the fourth edition of these pages. It is hard to believe, but once again they are new and improved. My motive in publishing these pages remains to help and stimulate others in Shakespeare studies, and especially those who might contribute their work to the Internet. The spirit of altruism (利他主义) that originally built the Internet is not quite gone, though, sadly, through the pressure of time and profit has lessened.

　　A major new addition to the pages is a Shakespeare Timeline, which is an online biography mounted at this site. The problems with searching for Shakespeare resources using the available Search Engines are:

　　---- It is difficult to focus most searches so that you get a manageable number of relevant hits;

　　---- It is impossible by simply reading an abstract(摘要) to make any distinction between the output of a Junior High School student and that of a professional researcher.

　　Another change in these pages over previous editions is the “What’s News” page. If you come away from these pages with the feeling that they are very useful but slightly pedantic (学究的), I will have realized my goal.

　　An Apology

　　I am continually apologizing to the many who have written me requesting revisions of the pages. We are all too busy. I simply have not had the time to dedicate to these pages that I wish. But I love the material and so have, at long last, made some time to update them.

　　A Reminder to Young Students

　　These pages contain the best links I can find to Shakespeare on the Internet. As a reminder, I would say I very much enjoy hearing from people who view and use these pages. If you want to do Shakespeare research using the web, this page is a great starting point, and I keep it as current as I can. The web is in its infancy(初期in bringing good, scholarly content to students. Don’t forget the best, if not quickest, resources are still in your library.

　　33. The passage is written to ________.

　　A. introduce the fourth edition of these pages

　　B. make an apology to readers

　　C. show off these pages to readers

　　D. let Shakespeare researchers buy these pages

　　34. When searching for Shakespeare resources using Search Engines, you ________.

　　A. can easily recognize what the abstract means

　　B. will waste some time in finding what you want

　　C. will often come into the “What’s News” pages

　　D. will find something special on your computers

　　35. Which of the following can best conclude the last paragraph?

　　A. The writer will often read letters from those who use these pages.

　　B. The writer of the passage is very selfish.

　　C. The web was just created four years ago.

　　D. Shakespeare researchers should first of all refer to these pages.

　　第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are increasing. 36 . Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.

　　For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now. 37 . Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening. 38 . Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings can disagree without getting things ugly. 39 . How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-maker—they’re interestingpeople who like to watch movies and go shopping—just like their teenagers!

　　What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? 40 You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear. Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.

　　A. It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.

　　B. You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.

　　C. And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.

　　D. Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do

　　E. You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if

　　your parents believe in you.

　　F. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.

　　G. You may consider seeking outside help.

　　In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. To have read Gulliver’s Travels is to have had the experience of listening to Jonathan Swift, of learning about man’s inhumanity (残酷) to man. To read Huckleberry Finn is to feel what it is like to drift (漂流) down the Mississippi River on a raft (木排). To have read Byron is to have suffered his rebellions with him and to have enjoyed his nose—thumbing at (对……的蔑视) society. To have read Native Son is to know how it feels to be frustrated (受挫折) in the particular way in which Blacks in Chicago are frustrated. This is effective communication (交流). It enables us to feel how others felt about life, even if they lived thousands of miles away and centuries age. It is not true that “We have only one life to live.” If we read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.

　　高考英语阅读理解题【3】

　　When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.

　　“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”

　　I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCLES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!

　　We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.

　　English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris. when someone offered me some more. coffee, I said ‘Thank you’ in French. I meant that I would like some more, However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ‘Thank you’ in French means ‘Mo, thank you.’

　　1. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.

　　A. learning English B. finding places to stay in England

　　C. driving their car on English roads D. going to England by car

　　2. I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______.

　　A. they would be able to practise their English

　　B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

　　C. it would be convenient for them to have dinner

　　D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

　　3. “NO VACANCIES” in English means ______.

　　A. no free rooms B. free rooms C. not away on holiday D. holidays

　　4. If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______.

　　A. fall into a hole

　　B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

　　C. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people

　　D. have to take a different road

　　5. When someone offered me more coffee and I said ‘Thank you’ in French, I ______.

　　A didn’t really want any more coffee B. wanted them to take the coffee pot away

　　C. really wanted some more coffee D. wanted to express my politeness

　　6. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I ______.
