?高考英語二輪復(fù)習(xí)閱讀理解強(qiáng)化練習(xí)題（1）
1.??? A pile of shoes on a front porch(門廊) isn't anything out of the ordinary for most households, but for Heather Duckworth, it held a special meaning during her sons' 18th summer.
??? The mom, who has an 11-year-old daughter, 18-year-old twin sons, and a 20-year-old son, wrote a heartfelt post about seeing a pile of shoes outside her door and all that it represents, "These shoes mean that I have a house full of kids, mostly teenagers, in their summer holiday. These shoes mean there is probably no food left in my house. These shoes mean noise and mess but laughter and music as well."
??? When Duckworth returned from work and saw the shoes recently, they brought on a wave of sadness because she realized that things were changing. Most of the kids who wear the shoes have just graduated from high school and she realizes that time is precious in her 18th summer with her sons. She continues that she knows seeing the shoes in the house means that the kids are safe, but soon all the shoes will be "spread across college campuses" and she knows "all of these shoes might not find their way back home next summer as life takes them on new adventures."
??? The time might be bittersweet, but Duckworth wants to focus on creating happy memories rather than focusing on the sadness that could come. She is going to be thankful for the shoes and enjoys every moment with the kids.
??? The sentimental post generated a massive e amount of interest with it being shared over 88,000 times in a week and receiving 14,000 comments. Duckworth was touched by the comments and how the story resonated(產(chǎn)生共鳴) with so many. She responded, "What a gift you all have given me in knowing that I am not alone in feeling this way. Motherhood is hard, but we are all in this together!"

2.Lonely Planet Trips
??? Here are some travel destinations on the website of Lonely Planet. Reading them, you'll make your own decision about the trip in a flash.
??? Bhutan
??? The Kingdom of Bhutan, located on the Silk Road in South Asia, claimed the No. 1 spot partly for its majestic beauty and because it had become the first fully organic nation. The kingdom has lush(繁茂的) subtropical plains in the south and sub-alpine Himalayan mountains in the north.
??? North Macedonia
??? If you want an alternative to Europe's more popular travel spots, North Macedonia could be for you. Its mountains and trails are "blissfully quiet" and the locals are "unfailingly helpful" according to Lonely Planet. Among its destinations is Ohrid, a charming, old town dotted with medieval ruins and churches, lined with cobblestone streets, and overlooking Lake Ohrid.
??? Seychelles
??? Mother Nature was unbelievably generous with the Seychelles, a fabled paradise whose islands lie scattered across the Indian Ocean. Spellbinding beaches are the main attraction, and what beaches! Beyond the beach, diving and snorkeling(徒手潛水) are brilliant in the warm waters amid abundant marine life, while few places on the planet do ocean-side luxury quite like the Seychelles.
??? Costa Rica
??? Costa Rica is beloved for many reasons, from its coffee to its epic surfing. It's also notable for its reliance on green energy sources. In fact, 90%of its energy is created by regenerative sources such as wind and water. It is also one of the world's most biodiverse countries—home to half a million species. Of course, no trip to Costa Rica is complete without a visit to the Sloth Sanctuary.
1.What can tourists appreciate in both Bhutan and North Macedonia?
A.Organic products. B.Subtropical jungles.
C.Medieval architecture. D.Mountain scenery.
2.Which of the following features Seychelles?
A.Pleasant quietness. B.Tasty coffee.
C.Fascinating beaches. D.Cobblestone streets.
3.What is Costa Rica distinguished for?
A.Renewable resources. B.Biodiverse plants.
C.Frontier preserves. D.The Silk Road.
3.??? When a typical kid hums a tune, it's usually something like "Twinkle, twinkle, little star," not Finnish composer Jean Sibelius's Violin Concerto in D Minor.
??? So when Nygel Witherspoon began to hum the very difficult concerto, his family guessed that he should have music lessons. He was, however, just 3 years old.
??? "He was calm, with an ability to focus," recalled David Holmes, Witherspoon's cello teacher from age 3 to 16.
??? Witherspoon is a familiar name in his hometown. He has inherited his talent from both sides of his family, including his aunt, the late jazz vocalist Shirley Witherspoon.
??? The 17-year-old doesn't see himself as competitive. "I think it's more important for students to have a supportive environment than a competitive one," he said. "It's great to have a support system, where you can be yourself and improve right along with others doing the same thing."
??? Witherspoon's love of music blossomed as he attended viola lessons with older siblings. Their teacher, David France, noticed that the little boy was a sponge.
??? "He'd absorbed everything they did," France said. Witherspoon was given a box violin, but he wanted to play "the big one"—the cello. He loved its size and tone. That's when he was matched with his teacher Holmes.
??? Witherspoon's drive is inspired by the connection music provides. He recalled that he and his siblings performed as a chamber trio at their grandmother's nursing home. The positive reaction from residents gave him motivation. "It's so important, whether it's hip-hop or classical," he said. "Music is the universal language. It connects all of us."
??? His mother runs an in-home day care center where lucky children can hear Witherspoon's concertos as background music.
??? Witherspoon finds the noisy environment helpful in terms of learning to focus and play with distractions. As he practices in the kitchen sometimes children toddle up to listen.
??? Despite years of performing, Witherspoon said he still gets nervous sometimes.
??? "But once I'm on stage, I connect with my instrument and try to tell a story with my music," he said.
1.How was Witherspoon different from other kids when he was 3?
A.He began to teach himself music.
B.He was able to hum very difficult tunes.
C.He had already made up his mind to learn violin.
D.He could already play the songs he listened to.
2.What does Witherspoon think is important for music learners?

C.To show that motivation plays a big role in music studies.
D.To show how studying music helped Witherspoon overcome difficulties.
4.??? After paying ￡20 for my racing red ukulele at a music shop in the Denmark Street, I happily turned up to the "Ukulele Hootenany" at a club near Liverpool Street. The host came around and tuned it for me. I was about to start playing when the little man approached again and said, "Let me tune that again for you." I hesitated, wanting to reassure him that I'd not touched it since its last tuning, but he took it and returned a few minutes later saying, "I've tuned it, but it won't be worth it—use this one instead." And he handed me a racing red version of a more expensive ukulele that I happily handled clumsily with that night.
??? You can master the basics online and come along expecting to be able to play the most commonly used chords. Just don't expect to fluently flip between them without any mistakes. It is easier said than done.
??? What makes this hobby unique is the fact that it's not seen as a "serious"?instrument, so it attracts those more likely to pick it up for fun. That night's participants were a random collection of around 30 people ranging from 20 to 60, with various shaped and sized ukuleles and various levels of ability.
??? We sat around a table, with two song books in front of us, and the "leader" called out a page number as we flipped through to a well-known Johnny Cash or Queen tune and did our best to keep up, but we failed. Later on we got into argument about the speed of the rhythm.
??? But the part I enjoyed most and that I wasn't expecting was the singalong. Everyone sang, and as no one cared about your singing abilities, people had lots of fun when they were harmonizing and putting on a heavy Southern accent even if it's not a country song. What it resulted in was a hobby with a unique mix and thus one of my favorites; it was cheap, social, and above all great fun.
1.Which of the following words can best describe the host?
A.Strict and responsible. B.Considerate and generous.
C.Friendly but stubborn. D.Ambitious and professional.
2.Who does the ukulele appeal to most?
A.People who are serious musicians.
B.People who are keen on classical music.
C.People who seek pleasure in playing despite mistakes.
D.People who expect social interactions with strangers.

A.Each member of the crew played excellent tunes.
B.They couldn't produce a consistent rhythm while playing.
C.The author was good at singing country songs.
D.The author couldn't catch up with others during the singalong part.
4.How did the author feel that night?
A.Embarrassed. B.Moody. C.Cheerful. D.Optimistic.
5.??? As an adult, I realized that I had no skills, so I went to trade school. I entered a cabinetmaking(家具制造) program. I didn't think I would be good at building furniture. I'm not handy. Nobody in my family is.
??? I had great teachers, but making furniture is hard. There are so many steps and something can go wrong at each one. I couldn't even get organized. My toolbox always looked like a hurricane had gone through it.
??? I didn't fully know what I was devoting myself to at the beginning, but I kept going to class. I tried to wrap my brain in the math. The projects forced me to solve new kinds of problems. My brain started to build new connections. Working in this new physical manner and giving it 100 percent of my effort had huge benefits for my mental health. I got over fear of embarrassment and asked for help at every opportunity.
??? I spent that year truly learning. True learning is a humbling experience, especially for those who are learning a new set of skills. I could understand exactly what was wrong with the furniture I made, but I couldn't fix my mistakes. And yet, I kept trying, and failing, and failing again, until I learned to fail better.
??? You're going to be bad at anything when you start out, but I was pretty bad right to the end. Even so, I finished the program—with honors! My grades were helped by my good written work. Having to constantly push myself beyond my comfort zone has made me a well-rounded person. Maybe most importantly, trade school gave me a more realistic idea of my strengths and limitations. I'm stronger than I thought!
1.Why did the author sign up for the cabinetmaking program?
A.To make more friends. B.To become a handy designer.
C.To get more organized. D.To develop new skills.
2.What can we know about the author?
A.He had a gift for making furniture.
B.He became stronger both mentally and physically after the program.
C.The biggest challenge for him is to know how to correct mistakes.
D.He finished the program with honor because of his excellent skills in the end.
3.Which words can best describe the author during the one-year learning?
A.Hard-working and confident. B.Devoted and determined.
C.Intelligent and creative. D.Modest and independent.
4.What does the author want to convey?
A.Practice makes perfect. B.Never too late to learn.
C.Learning is more than a skill. D.Skills will never be a burden.
6.??? There you are, looking through your social app, and you come across a post saying something like this: "I just got accepted by Harvard and Oxford! Are they sure they didn't mix my application up with somebody else's?"
??? This person is clearly humblebragging. The term "humblebrag" was first coined back in 2010 by the late U.S. comedian Harris Wittels, and it describes when someone makes a seemingly modest statement, the actual purpose is to bring attention to something they are proud of.
??? The example above is a modesty-based humblebrag. The person wants to tell others: "I got accepted by Harvard and Oxford!" However, they don't want to seem too proud of their accomplishments. So, instead, they word it in a way to be more modest and bring down the importance of their achievements.
??? Although people who humblebrag think it will make them more likable because they aren't talking proudly about their victories, a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology showed that humblebragging actually has the opposite effect.
??? "Humblebragging doesn't have the intended result because it seems insincere. That 'poor me' attitude combined with self-promotion does not lead to a favorable impression," said Ovul Sezer, the lead author of the study and an assistant professor of Organizational Behavior at the University of North Carolina, U.S. "Even simply bragging or complaining is better, because at least those messages are seen as more sincere."
??? Sezer's study also found that nearly 60% of humblebrags were complaint-based humblebragging, with most people humblebragging about their looks, followed by their money or wealth, and finally about their performance at work. "It's such a common phenomenon. All of us know some people in our lives, whether on social media or in the workplace, who do this annoying thing," commented Sezer, adding that we all do it to some extent.
??? So, if you want to share your achievements with others, what's the best way to do it then? Sezer suggests that people admit their self-promotion and harvest the rewards of being sincere. She also suggests finding a go-between, "If someone brags to you first, that's the best thing that can happen to you, because then you don't seem like you're bragging."
1.What does the underlined word "coined" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Recognized. B.Bought. C.Invented. D.Copied.
2.Which of the following can be considered as humblebragging?
A.Hesitating to talk about your achievements.
B.Bringing people's attention to your achievements.
C.Talking proudly about your achievements on social media.
D.Pretending to be modest when talking about your achievements.
3.What is Sezer's attitude toward humblebragging?
A.Supportive. B.Disapproving. C.Cautious. D.Ambiguous.
4.What does Sezer suggest people do when it comes to sharing achievements?
A.Share their achievements with their best friends.
B.Bring down the importance of their achievements.
C.Find someone else to talk about their achievements.
D.Talk about their achievements after someone else does.
7.??? Do you have a prized stuffed animal from your childhood? Is it still in your apartment? If so, you're not alone. 60% of small children have teddies and other comfort objects, and up to 35% of adults!
??? Conventional wisdom from the 1970s suggested kids depending on comfort objects somehow lacked secure attachment to their mothers, and that this dependence would threaten their proper development into well-adjusted adults.
??? However, not too long ago, studies began to show that comfort objects don't threaten children's mental health, and may indeed be developmentally advantageous. Children with comfort objects are less shy and more focused than those without them. This is probably because with their presence, children feel braver and less stressed in unfamiliar situations.
??? Even newer research shows only when a toy is their comfort object do children anthropomorphize(人格化) it. That is, children don't really mistakenly believe that all objects around them have inside lives. Having an emotional attachment to the comfort object causes children to think of it as a humanlike friend, who they can practice telling stories to and share joy and sorrow with. Sometimes they even think from the perspective of this unnatural friend.
??? Comfort objects are not just soft things for children to grab when they feel sad or lonely. They mean something special to them. So, far from being "wacky toddler(學(xué)步的兒童) behavior", choosing a comfort object and treating it as a sacred part of daily rituals is actually extremely sophisticated behavior on the part of small children. If you have a comfort animal, or meet a kid who has one, let the cuddles(擁抱) begin.
1.What do the numbers in Paragraph 1 suggest?
A.It's abnormal for adults to own teddies. B.It's OK for kids to have comfort objects.
C.Kids can get more attached to their toys. D.Having comfort objects is actually common.
2.What did people in the 1970s think of kids depending on comfort objects?
A.They might be a threat after growing up. B.They might have developmental problems.
C.They could hardly grow into healthy adults. D.They could get too attached to their mothers.
3.What can we learn from the text?
A.Stuffed toys are intended for wacky toddlers.
B.Comfort objects boost children's innovation.
C.Children believe all stuffed animals have souls.
D.Comfort objects are mentally beneficial to kids.
4.What is the author's attitude toward comfort objects?
A.Favorable. B.Unconcerned. C.Doubtful. D.Critical.
8.??? Amanda had just come home from school. Exhausted but looking forward to receiving an e-mail from Bridget in New Zealand, she turned on her computer and waited impatiently for it to start up. As she waited, she began thinking about the times she spent with Bridget, her best friend, since elementary school. Just then, an envelope popped up on her screen.
??? Amanda sat up and clicked on the "Inbox" bar, expecting to see her friend's usual e-mail. Amanda was surprised to see the e-mail address belonging to Bridget's brother in bold type at the top of a row of e-mails in her inbox. He seldom wrote to her because he was much older and they had nothing in common. A feeling of dread passed through her but she ignored it.
??? "It was probably nothing," she said as she clicked on the e-mail. What she saw was totally unexpected. It was a short e-mail. He simply said that Bridget had been in a serious car accident and was hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU). And he also said he would write again later. Amanda's jaw dropped and her fingers that had been so busy clicking the mouse buttons earlier slid off the computer table.
??? At a loss as to what to do, Amanda hurriedly typed an e-mail in response. She asked Bridget's brother for more information about the accident and Bridget's condition. Amanda's eyes brimmed with tears that streamed down her cheeks. She could not help remembering that Bridget had told her about her plans to return to Singapore to visit her. She wanted to call Bridget's brother immediately but it was only then that she realized she did not have his number.
??? Sitting up, she clicked on the "Inbox" bar to check her incoming message again. However, the sign "No New Message" flashed at the bottom of her screen.
1.What can we know about Amanda from Paragraph 1?
A.She missed her best friend Bridget very much.

4.What is the best title for the text?
A.A Shocking E-mail B.A Car Accident
C.A Terrible Day D.A True Friend
9.??? For years, I was in the rat race. My sense of wonder lost. Gardening was my antidote(解毒藥). It gave me time to stop, listen and absorb all the little details that nature has to offer—nurturing the earth, plants and myself helps me to fight against the aggression and tiredness of everyday working life.
??? I quit my job and had a vision for my company. I wanted others to find the comfort that my garden gave me. Now, I watch my clients experience their own transformations. A corner that was once an unwelcoming place of weeds is a child's play area; a lonely person has an inspiring, evolving view.
??? Gardening requires us to be present in the moment, while also imagining the future. You may see a beautiful flower and feel surprised for a minute at the magic of nature. Some flowers last for a day, others for a season. Some come back year after year. Seasons pass and you become connected to the changes in life in a deeper, more spiritual way. This builds acceptance.
??? Where there once may have been beauty, there might now be an empty space and a deep sense of sadness...But gardening brings hope—we can create something beautiful again and that space will no longer be bare.
??? Hope is one of many emotions stirred by gardening. Whether you're growing vegetables to eat, planting tiny seeds or tending flowers, there is always a great sense of satisfaction at the end of a session. How you choose to garden is deeply personal to you—it's about creating something fruitful, alone or with others.
??? The key is to have a vision, ideas and bright hopes for the future.
1.What does the underlined phrase "the rat race" refer to?
A.The fierce race among rats B.The tiredness of the family
C.The competitive working life D.The bad relationship with neighbors
2.What does the author benefit from gardening?
A.It helps to develop a take-it-as-it-is attitude. B.It relieves anxiety about losing the job.
C.It releases her loneliness and depression. D.It teaches her a lot of sowing knowledge.
3.What can we infer about gardening according to the author?
A.It's beautiful. B.It's rewarding.
C.It's depressing. D.It's cooperative.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Gardening for Fun B.A Sense of Wonder
C.Sowing Seeds of Hope D.A Vision for the Future
10.??? I just counted how many foreign languages I've learned so far in my life and it has been twelve!
??? I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I'm already interested in. I like to read blogs in other languages. I found them the perfect learning tools because they're usually written in oral language, so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
??? Movies are also a really good tool, especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning. Though they don't always exactly match what's being said, they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language. Music is another way to start listening to things in the new language. Personally, this doesn't really work for me, but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics. Games are also an excellent way of learning a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs include games.
??? When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade, it can be hard to stick with it. Ideally I will sign up to take a big language exam because then I'll have to keep studying, and work to master the details that seem so unimportant in everyday usage that I tend to just ignore them. Each time I start getting complacent, it's time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons, or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to develop my skills.
??? I also try to think in the language I'm learning. The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never spoke any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class, which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a lot with the limited Russian words I have learned.
1.Why are blogs a perfect learning tool according to the author?
A.Because they only use oral language. B.Because they don't use professional terms.
C.Because they often use several languages. D.Because their language is usually informal.
2.What will author do if he loses passion when learning a new language?
A.Take an exam. B.Stick with it.
C.Sign up for online lessons. D.Choose a new course.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "complacent" in paragraph 4?
A.Bored. B.Discouraged.
C.Self-satisfied. D.Self-disciplined.
4.What's the purpose of the text?
A.To call on readers to learn new languages.
B.To share personal language learning tips.
C.To recommend some blogs and movies to language learners.
D.To help deal with common problems in learning new languages.
