Mrs. Janes knew her weakness well, and took every chance she could find to practise these high notes. As she lived in a small house, where she could not practise without disturbing the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time and practised her high notes there. Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road, she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a shy person. One afternoon, a fast, opened car came up behind her so silently and so fast that she didn’t hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most difficult tones at that time and as the car passed; she saw an anxious expression came over the driver’s face. He stopped his car suddenly, jumped out and began to examine all his tyres carefully.

篇2：高考英语阅读理解试题Water problems in the future will become nore intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes,primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decease substantialy the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasingquantities of agricultural chemicals, From this , it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.
There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes “prior to ” disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or efflunets,to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.
A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement . Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Efflunets from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential eonomic uses for waste products.
1.The purpose of this passage is ______.
a.to alert the reader to the dwindling water supply b.to explain industrial uses of water
c.to acquaint the reader with water pollution problems d.to demostrate various measures to solve the pollution problem
2.Which of the following points is NOT INCLUDED in the passage?
a.In dustrial development incudes the simplification of complex chemical processes.
b.Diluting wastes needs certain amount of water
c.Demands for water will go up along with the expanding population
d.Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals
3.The reader can conclued that________. a.countries of the world will work together on polution problems
b.byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplace
c.science is making great progress on increasing water supplies
d.some industries are now ,aking economic use of wastes 4.The author gives substance to the passage through the use of _______.
a.interviews with authorities in the field of water controls b.opinions and personal observations c.definitions which clarify important terms d.strong arguments and persuasions
5.The words “prior to ”(para.2) probably mean______. a.after
b.during
c.before
d.beyond

篇3：高考英语阅读理解试题There are two factors which determine an inpidual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an inpidual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the inpidual—the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an inpidual is handicapped envionmentally ,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an inpidual's intellingence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old , their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reated by parents of low intelligence in an isolatedcommunity with poor educational pooprtunities.Mark was reared inthe home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child , sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This enviromental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were giben tesets to measure their intelligence. Mark's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities , the twins , having identical brains,would have tested at roughly the same level.
1.This selection can best be titled_________. a.Measuring Your Intelligence b.Intelligence and Environment c.The Case of Peter and Mark
d.How the brain Influences Intelligence
2.The beststatement of the main idea of this passage is that _____.
a.human brains differ considerably
b.the brain a person is born with is improtant in determining his intelligence
c.environment is crucial in determining a person's intelligence
d. persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence
3.According to the passage , the average I.Q.is _____. a.85
b.100
c.110
d.125
4.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______.
a.inpidual with identical brains seldom test at same level b.an inpidual's intelligence is determined only by his enviroment
c.lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence d.changes of enviroment produce changes in the structure of the brain
5.This passage suggests that an inpidual 's I.Q.______. a.can be predicted at birth
b.stays the same throuthout his life c.can be increased by education d.is determined by his childhood 答案：bcbcc
篇4：高考英语阅读理解试题Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap,or on the table?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a wonman or offer their seat to a woman , and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served , one of the guests strated to eat his peas with a knife . The other guests were amused or shocked , but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.

篇5：高考英语阅读理解试题Newdays,a standard for measuring power has
changed.These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power.No longer will a nation's political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary primary measure of power.But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It's often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of opwer and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world.
America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.
The competitiveness of America's industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society-government,industry,and education. That is not to say that the Defense Department will not be a strong force in the process because we will. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior of American industry.
1. Now a nation's political influence depends on _________. a. the strength of its military forces b. its ability to compete in industry c. economic markets
d. both a and b
2. The Soviet Union was not listed as a third-world nation just because of _________.
a. its powerful military forces b. its vast land
c. its industrial competitiveness d. its contributions to world peace
3. The author indicates that ______ is threatening American political power.
a. other countries
b. the declining U.S. industrial base c. a new standard for measuring power d. less advanced technology
4. America succeeded in shaping world events over past 40 years probably because of ___________.
a. its ability to adapt technology
b. its ability to take advantage of the capabilities of its people c. its ability to compete in the world markets d. both a and b
5. The purpose of writing this article is __________.
a. to draw the readers' attention to a new standard for measuring power
b. to demonstrate American political influence in the world c. to emphasize that efforts must be made to strengthen the declining U.S. industrial base
d. to show American industrial prowess 15/200答案：dabdc
20xx高考英语阅读理解试题40篇之十六（含答案） 16/200
Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , fortunately,the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of obergrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.
First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseaed or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.
One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but itis a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the desease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hurs and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts yu make will bleed. If this does happen,it is, of course,impossible to paint them properly.
1.Pruning should be done to ______. a.make the tree grow taller
b.improve the shape of the tree c.get rid of the small branches d.make the small branches thicker
2.Trees become unhealthy if the gardener ______. a.allows too many branches to grow in the middle b.does not protect them from wind c.forces them to grow too quickly
d.damages some of the small side branches 3.Why is a special substance painted on the tree? a.To make a wound smooth
b.To prevent disease entering a wound c.To cover a rough surface
d.To help a wound to dry
4.A good gardener prunes a tree______. a.at intervals throughout the year b.as quickly as possible
c.occasionally when necessary d.regular every winter
5.What was the author's purpose when writing this passage? a.To give pratical instruction for pruning a tree. b.To give a general deion of pruning c.To explain how trees develop diseases d.To discuss different methods of pruning. 16/200答案：babca
篇6：高考英语阅读理解试题The United States is on the verge of losing its leading place in the world's technology. So says more than one study in recent years. One of the reasons for this decline is the parallel decline in the number of U.S. scientists and engineers.
Since 1976,employment of scientists and engineers is up 85 percent. This trend is expected to continue. However, the trend shows that the number of 22-year-olds--the near term source of future PH.D.s-is declining. Further adding to the problem is the increased competition for these candidates from other fields-law,medicine,business,etc. While the number of U.S. PH.D.s in science and engineering declines,the award of PH.D.s to foreign nationals is increasing rapidly.
Our inability to motivate students to pursue science and engineering careers at the graduate level is compounded because of the intense demand industry has for bright Bachelor's and Master's degree holders. Too often, promising PH.D.candidates, confronting the cost and financial sacrifice of pursuing their education,find the attraction of industry irresistible.
1.The U.S.will come to lose its leading place in technology probably because ________.
a. the number of PH.D. degree holders is declining b. the number of scientists and engineers is decreasing c. the number of 22-year-ilds is declining d. scientists and engineers are not employed
2.The field of science and engineering is facing a competition from ________ .
a. technology
b. foreign nationals
c. such fields as law, medicine and business d. postgraduates
3.Large-scale enterprises now need _______. a. bright graduates and postgraduates b. new inventions
c. advanced technology
d. engineers
4.Many promising postgraduates are unwilling to pursue a PH.D. degree because _________.
a. they are not encouraged to be engaged in science b. industry does not require PH.D. holders c. they have financial difficulties
d. they will spend much time and energy completing PH.D. 5.PH.D. candidates “find the attraction of industry irresistible” means that _________.
a. they find industry is attracting more and more college students
b. they don't think they can prevent themselves from working for industry
c. they cannot resist any attraction from all sides d. they cannot work for industry any longer 14/200答案：bcadb
篇7：高考英语阅读理解试题一、自测题：
Text 1
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!
1 A good title for this passage is ____.
A. Sleep C. Dreams B. Good Health D. Work and Rest

Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages. In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.
Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?
There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.
6. What is the major of paragraph 1? A. To arouse the reader’s concern
B. To introduce the theme of the whole passage C. To summarize the whole passage D. To sate the primary uses of TV
7. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______. A. not very convenient B. very expensive C. quite dangerous D. relatively cheap 8. Why are some people against TV? A. Because TV programs re not interesting B. Because TV viewers are totally passive C. Because TV prices are very high.
D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages 9. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______. A. it keeps us informed
B. it is very cheap
C. it enables us to have a rest D. it controls our lives
10. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _______ .
A. its quality B. people ’s attitude towards it C. how we use it D. when we use it Text 3
Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ;others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope(摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.
In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person.
11. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _____ .
A. have ruined their talents
B. have taken on an unsuitable job
C. think of nothing but their salary
D. are not aware of their own potential
12. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_____ .
A. much competition has to be faced
B. many employees have no working experience
C. the young people only care about how much they can earn D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance
13. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?
A. Your job must suit your interest.
B. Your job must set a pattern of life.
C. Your job must offer you a high salary.
D. Your job must not ruin your talents.
14.The best title for this passage would be ____. A. What Can A Good Job Offer
B. Earning A Living
C. Correct Attitude On Job-hunting
D. How To Choose A Job
15. The word “pathetic”in paragraph 2 most probably means ____ .
A. splendid B. miserable C. disgusted D. touching
