【英语】高考英语阅读理解(人物故事)专项训练及答案及解析
一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类 1．阅读理解
My family lives in Texas. I was born and brought up in Texas and I am a graduate of the University of Texas. However, around my second year in law school, I wanted to make a great change, which was almost unheard of for Texans: I wanted to leave!
I realized this after completing my first year-year internship(实习期) I knew I wanted something different and my chance came during the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas. A snowstorm blanketed the entire city in snow and thousands of people were gathered. I overheard that StubHub, a big company from a great city, San Francisco, was throwing a party next door to my hotel. I thought if l could get an internship, I could leave for the summer and at least see what it was like. Yes, it was a huge leap. I told myself I was ready.
There was just one problem: I wasn't invited to the StubHub party. But you know I'm the type of person who goes for something she wants. Needless to say, I crashed the party and found my way to the president. I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program. Guess what? They accepted my request to be a legal intern, even though no such program existed.
Although the legal department didn't have a permanent position for me, the experience has shaped my life. Working for a great company in San Francisco, I'm incredibly happy for making my decision to leave Texas.
By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the comfortable. Exploring the unfamiliar is how you'll understand what fits your life. I say, dive in head first.
（1）The author went to Dallas to in 2011. A. watch the Super Bowl B. meet up with her family C. flee San Francisco D. hunt for an internship
（2）Which is the biggest lesson that the author learned from the experience? A. You must choose a career that you like. B. Jumping out of your comfort zone is rewarding. C. Accepting who you are makes you realize your strengths. D. You should listen to your family to learn about your potential. （3）Which of the following words best describe the author? A. Patient and modest. B. Supportive and energetic. C. Intelligent and humorous. D. Determined and adventurous. 【答案】 （1）D （2）B
（3）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者去达拉斯寻找实习机会，并从中学到了很多。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的\city, San Francisco, was throwing a party next door to my hotel. I thought if l could get an internship,\可知，作者无意中听到来自旧金山的一家大公司在自己所住酒店的隔壁开派对，她在想自己能否在那家公司得到一个实习的机会，因此，2011年作者去达拉斯是为了寻找一个实习机会，故选D。（2）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的\leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the comfortable.\可知，作者认识到尝试不熟悉的东西比呆在舒适区更有意义，也就是说作者从这个经历中学到的最大的教训是跳出舒适区是有意义的，故选B。
（3）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的\the type of person who goes for something she wants.\可知，作者没有被邀请参加派对，但她是那种追求她想要的东西的人，由此可见作者很坚定，再根据\my way to the president. I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program.\可知，作者闯进派对，直接找到董事长进行自我介绍并问是否有实习项目，由此可见作者很大胆，综合以上两方面可知作者是坚定和大胆的，故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
2．阅读理解
A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the \Prize\of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.
Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize --- the highest accolade in the field of animal conservation --- for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel from becoming the next Great Auk.
When the 61-year-old first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding (人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds' nests and hatching(孵化)them under incubators, prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.
A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. The biologist has also been necessary in efforts to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler.
Prof Jones was awarded the $250,000 (￡172,000) prize at a ceremony in London.
\received,\reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Maurutius kestrel project had been seen as a \loss\at the time. In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off
breeding in the wild.
Prof Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only becoming a father for the first time eight years ago, at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved that his work to save birds was right.
（1）What does the underlined word \
A. return B. level C. honor D. research （2）According to the passage, Great Auk is ________.
A. an endangered bird B. an extinct bird C. a popular bird D. a fierce bird （3）What can we know from the figures in Paragraph 4? A. Taking eggs from the nests has worked well. B. The wild environment for kestrel has changed a lot. C. Kestrel has adapted to the life in the wild. D. It's difficult to protect kestrel.
（4）Prof Jones' idea of taking eggs from the birds' nests ________. A. was proved of no use B. was widely accepted C. was promoted officially D. was criticized by some people 【答案】 （1）C （2）B （3）A （4）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了生物学家 Carl Jones 通过人工繁殖的方式是濒临灭绝的鸟类的数量逐渐增加，并且因此获得了2016年的印第安的波利斯奖。 （1）考查词义猜测。第二段中的“for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel from becoming the next Great Auk.”是对前面句子的补充说明，再由“won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize”可推知，这里的accolade与获奖有关，故选C。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“where he saved an endangered kestrel from becoming the next Great Auk”可知，他保护了濒临灭绝的红隼，使他免于遭受Great Auk的情况，因此可知Great Auk是一种已经灭绝的鸟类，选B。
（3）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. ”可知红隼的数量已经开始增加了，所以推断出人工繁殖的方法很有效，故选A。
（4）考查细节理解。根据第一段“A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the \Prize\of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.”；以及倒数第二段中的“In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.”可知 Jones 教授从稀有鸟类的巢穴中取出鸟蛋的行为被一些人批评，故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，同时根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
