【英语】高一英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)

一、高中英语阅读理解 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

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，哥伦比亚的心脏病专家Chockalingam博士建议多保持微笑，他认为微笑可能是帮助心脏的一种方式。同时说明了微笑有利于健康的原因和人们感到压力时的身体反应等情况。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive.”当我们微笑时，大脑的线路会发生变化。释放出的化学物质更积极。可知，Chockalingam博士认为微笑能使我们的身体产生有益的化学物质。故选D。

2．阅读理解

I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide.

As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which

was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school.

Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.

（1）How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school?

A. Through his father's friend's help. B. Through his own efforts to exams. C. Through his father's request. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence. （2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？

A. An English school was more influential. B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast. C. It met with Chinese public opinion. D. He could become a successful interpreter. （3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical. B. It was mysterious. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was wonderful. 【答案】（1）A （2）D （3）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校，并分析了具体原因。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school”可知，作者是通过父亲朋友的帮助进入到Mrs. Gutzlaff学校的。故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world.”可知父母认为我也许会成为一个很好的翻译，在做生意外交方面会有优势，所以他们才送我去英语学校。故选D。

（3）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed.”可知对于父母送我去英语学校而不是传统的中文学校，我感觉很困惑。故选B。

3．阅读理解

A 2018 report found that food waste would increase by a third to 2. 1billion tons by 2030. Beyond the cost of the waste itself, thrown-away food generates a gas that contributes to climate change.

Home delivery meal kits(盒)can reduce food waste by more than two-thirds, but suppliers need to switch to reusable packaging to make them environmentally friendly.

Tailor-made meal kits cut waste by providing people with precise amounts of fresh ingredients(烹饪原料)for chosen recipes, meaning leftovers are minimized. But while the delivery services score well on reducing food waste, buying the same food ingredients from the supermarket almost always saves energy overall simply because meal kits use so much single-use packaging. The good news is that if people have meals that are tailored for consumption, they won't overbuy and have less food waste. They fine-tune the amount of food to what they will actually eat.

Meal kits can reduce transport emissions(排放)if people go to the supermarket less frequently. If people only go and buy such goods as soap and toilet paper, they may only have to visit once every couple of months. A delivery truck can carry meals for a lot of people in the neighborhood. So dozens of car trips might be replaced with one truck trip.

However, study found that even if delivery meal kits reduced food waste to zero, they would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth. The packaging is a killer if it's single-use and thrown away, which can make all the environmental benefits lost. But if the packaging can be reused, if it's glass bottles, like in the old days, we can get some benefits. （1）What can we learn about home delivery meal kits? A.They can cut down on daily expenses.

B.They will totally solve the problem of food waste. C.They can keep energy consumption to a minimum. D.They will benefit the environment with reusable packaging.

（2）What does the underlined word \"fine-tune\" in paragraph 3 mean? A.Attach. B.Adjust. C.Raise. D.Compare.

（3）The author suggests carrying meals with a delivery truck to__________. A.reduce transport emissions B.save more food

C.shop only in the supermarket D.shorten car trip distances

（4）What's the author's attitude to meal kits? A.Supportive. B.Unfavorable. C.Objective. D.Indifferent. 【答案】 （1）D （2）B （3）A （4）C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，套餐可以减少食物浪费，但包装是个问题。家庭送餐包可以减少超过三分之二的食物浪费，但供应商需要改用可重复使用的包装，使其更加环保。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Home delivery meal kits(盒)can reduce food waste by more than two-thirds，”家庭送餐包可以减少三分之二的食物浪费。可以得知可利用的包装对环保有益。故选D。

（2）考查词义猜测。第三段主要讲述量身定制餐会降低浪费。根据“They fine-tune the amount of food to what they will actually eat. ”人们可以根据将要吃多少来调整食物数量。可知选B。

（3）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段“Meal kits can reduce transport emissions(排放)if people go to the supermarket less frequently. If people only go and buy such goods as soap and toilet paper，they may only have to visit once every couple of months. A delivery truck can carry meals for a lot of people in the neighborhood. So dozens of car trips might be replaced with one truck trip.”可知餐盒可以减少对交通排放，运送卡车可以一次给小区很多人送餐饭，减少交通排放。故选A。

（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“However，study found that even if delivery meal kits reduced food waste to zero，they would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth.”可知研究表明外卖饭盒比超市买食物会耗费更多的能源；以及“But if the packaging can be reused，if it's glass bottles，like in the old days，we can get some benefits.”但是如果这些包装能够被再利用，对我们还是会有一些益处的。作者对饭盒的使用是客观的态度。故选C。

【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，是一篇环保类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，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。

4．阅读理解

When I was a child, our dining room had two kinds of chairs — two large ones with arm rests and four small ones without. The larger ones stood at the ends of the table, the smaller ones on the sides. Mom and Dad sat in the big chairs, except when one of us was away; then Mom would sit in one of the smaller chairs. Dad always sat at the end, at the \"head\" of the table. Sitting

where he did, Dad was framed by the window through which the yard could be seen with its trees and grass. His chair was not just a place for him at table; it was a place in which he was situated against the yard and the trees. It was the holy(神圣的)and protected place that was his, and ours through him.

After Dad retired, he and Mom moved out into a small flat. When thy came to visit me at their old house, Dad still sat at the end of the table though the table was no longer his but mine. Only with my marriage to Barbara, did I hear a voice questioning the arrangement. She requested, gently but firmly, that I sit at the head of the table in our home. I realized then that I was head of the family, but I also felt unwilling to introduce such a change. How would I feel sitting in that \"head\" place in my Dad's presence? And how would he handle it? I was to find out on the occasion of our youngest child's first birthday.

Mom and Dad arrived for lunch, and went into the dining room. Dad moved toward his usual seat in front of the window. Before he could get around the side of the table, I took a deep breath and said, \"Dad, this is going to be your place, next to Mom, on the side.\" He stopped, looked at me and then sat down. I felt sad, and angry at Barbara for pushing me to do this. It would have been easy to say, \"My mistake, Dad. Sit where you always sit, \" But I didn't.

When he and Mom were seated, Barbara and I took our places. I don't know how Dad felt. I do know that, though removed from his usual place, he continued to share his best self with us, telling stories of his childhood and youth to the delight of his grandchildren. As I served the food, our lives experienced a change, which we continue to live with.

It wasn't easy, but I sense that there is also something good in the change which has occurred. I am beginning to learn that \"honoring one's father\" is more than the question of which place to occupy at the dining table. It also means listening, wherever we sit and whatever positions we own, to the stories Dad longs to tell. We may then, during these magical moments, even be able to forget about whose chair is whose.

（1）Why did Dad always sit in the big chair at the end of the table before he retired? A.Because the chair was large enough for him.

B.Because sitting there he could see the trees and grass in the yard. C.Because it was the holy seat for the head of the family. D.Because the chair was comfortable with arm rests. （2）What do we know from the second paragraph? A.The writer's parents moved out because the house was too old. B.The writer didn't want to hurt his father’s feelings. C.The writer's wife was rude to his parents. D.The writer didn't dare to refuse his wife's request.

（3）Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.Dad felt upset after being removed from his usual place. B.The writer was satisfied with the new seating arrangement. C.Dad continued to tell stories to cover his embarrassment. D.Dad didn't appear to mind where he sat. （4）What does the writer intend to tell us?

A.Respecting Dad is more than the question of dining seat. B.It is not easy to go against parents' wishes. C.Think twice before you act. D.Every coin has two sides. 【答案】 （1）C （2）B （3）D （4）A

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙，通过讲述作者和父亲餐厅座位的变化告诉我们尊重父母并不在于餐厅的座位，而是快乐相处。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“His chair was not just a place for him at table; it was a place in which he was situated against the yard and the trees. It was the holy(神圣的）and protected place that was his, and ours through him.”可知父亲的餐桌位置不仅是靠着院子和树林的地方，还是一个一家之主神圣和受保护的地方。所以为什么爸爸在退休前总是坐在桌子尽头的大椅子上是因为那是一家之主的圣座。故选C。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“I realized then that I was head of the family, but I also felt unwilling to introduce such a change. How would I feel sitting in that \"head\" place in my Dad's presence? And how would he handle it?”可知作者成为一家之主后，不愿意占据父亲原来一家之主的神圣座位。所以判断出作者不想伤害父亲的感情。故选B。

（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Before he could get around the side of the table, I took a deep breath and said, ‘Dad, this is going to be your place, next to Mom, on the side.’He stopped, looked at me and then sat down.和第四段though removed from his usual place, he continued to share his best self with us, telling stories of his childhood and youth to the delight of his grandchildren.”可知作者让父亲坐在边上后，父亲似乎并没表现出介意坐在哪里，仍然和我们说笑，给孩子们讲他孩时和年轻时的故事。故选D。

（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“I am beginning to learn that ‘honoring one's father’ is more than the question of which place to occupy at the dining table. It also means listening, wherever we sit and whatever positions we own, to the stories Dad longs to tell We may then, during these magical moments, even be able to forget about whose chair is whose.”可知作者开始认识到“孝敬父亲”不仅仅是在餐桌上占据什么位置的问题。无论坐在哪里，无论坐什么位置，我们都会倾听爸爸渴望告诉我们的故事。所以作者想告诉我们“孝敬父亲”，不仅仅是在餐桌上占据什么位置的问题。故选A。

【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，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

5．阅读理解

American college students are becoming more adventuresome as they study abroad, showing less interests in English-speaking destinations such as Great Britain and Australia and more in such countries as China, India, Argentina and Brazil.

Britain remained the most popular study destination in 2005, according to annual figures from

the Institute of International Education, followed by Italy, Spain and France. But the number of American students studying in Britain and Australia descended a little, even as the number of American students abroad rose by 8%. The growth came in non-English speaking European countries and in Asia. China is now the eighth most popular destination for American students, attracting nearly 6,400 in 2005, up 35% from the number of the year before. Argentina and India saw increases of more than 50%.

Allan Goodman, president of the Institute of International Education, said that a range of factors contributed to the trend, from growing awareness of globalization after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, to programs such as former President Bush's National Security Language Initiative, which trains soldiers, intelligence officers and diplomats in foreign languages. “What Americans are doing is waking up and discovering there's a world out there,” he said. Other figures showed the flow of students in the opposite direction, from foreign countries into American universities. The institute found that international enrollment (入学) in American higher education remained steady at about 565,000. The figures are of keen interest to universities, which depend on foreign students for teaching and research help, and to policy-makers, who consider it important, as future foreign leaders may be familiar with the United States. The year of 2005 saw big increases in students from South Korea, Mexico and Taiwan of China. India sends the most students and China is No.2. Other countries that show large percentage increases in the number of students sent to the US include Nepal and Vietnam, while Japan, Turkey and Malaysia saw declines. About 58% of international students in the US come from Asia.

（1）What does the underlined word “descended” in Paragraph 2 means? A. Changed. B. Declined. C. Multiplied. D. Increased. （2）Why do more American students study in Asia?

A. They expect to get more teaching and research help. B. They lose confidence in English-speaking countries.

C. They are afraid that terrorist attacks will happen again. D. They prefer to explore a different world from their own.

（3）Where were most foreign students in America from in 2005?

A. China. B. India. C. Argentina. D. Britain. （4）What can we infer from the passage?

A. There were 6,400 American students studying in China in 2005. B. Chinese students to America will overpass Indians in the future.

C. International enrollment in American higher education changed a lot. D. Asian students account for a large part of foreign students in America. 【答案】（1）B （2）D （3）B （4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了不同国家的人国外留学的情况。

（1）考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“But the number of American students studying in

Britain and Australia descended a little, even as the number of American students abroad rose by 8%.”这句话的后半句的意思是“尽管美国学生在国外的人数增长了8%”，由此推知“但是在英国和澳大利亚学习的美国学生人数下降了一点，”故选B。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“What Americans are doing is waking up and discovering there's a world out there,”可知，现在越来越多的美国学生来到亚洲是因为他们更喜欢从自己的世界去探索不同的世界。故选D。

（3）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“The year of 2005 saw big increases in students from South Korea, Mexico and Taiwan of China. India sends the most students and China is No.2.”可知，在2005年美国多数的外国学生都来自印度。故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“About 58% of international students in the US come from Asia.”可知，在美国，亚洲学生占外国学生的很大一部分。故选D。

6．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。 These days, I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon, and still look for the Crow's Nest, a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds, but which has since been knocked down.

The Crow's Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At days end, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.

Twenty-seven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.

More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history and the traditions.

If they change the price of the fish tacos (鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it's not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon. It's time to email your editor using capital letters.

The new retractable (可伸缩的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainy-day story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport. So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit: more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too. （1）What did the author do on the Crow's Nest in the past?

A. He made friends with reporters. B. He reported on tennis matches.

C. He appreciated the beautiful scenery. D. He exchanged experiences with tennis players.

（2）What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon? A. It lacks fun. B. It is expensive C. It is not convenient. D. It is not quick enough （3）Why does the author mention strawberries and cream?

A. To compare popular foods. B. To introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon. C. To describe people's craze for traditional dishes. D. To show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.

（4）What difference does the new roof make?

A. Audiences have easier access to a tennis court. B. There's less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.

C. Reporters are struggling to find original material. D. rainy-day stories about Wimbledon have become history. 【答案】（1）B （2）A （3）D （4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者追忆对温网的报道。虽然发生了很大的变化，但中心球场仍然忠于它的原始精神：与其说是体育场，不如说是一座剧院。捕捉这种感觉也是报道温网的一部分。

（1）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“The Crow’s Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At days end, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.”可知，过去作者在the Crow’s Nest报道了网球比赛。故选B。 （2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.”可知，作者认为报道温网的新方式缺乏乐趣。故选A。

（3）考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon. It’s time to email your editor using capital letters.”可知，作者提到草莓和奶油是为了展示温布尔登的传统是一种吸引。故选D。

（4）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“The new retractable (可伸缩的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainy-day story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played.”可知，新屋顶使关于温布尔登的雨天故事已经成为历史。故选D。

9．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality.

Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.

The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly.\" It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed,\" he adds.

Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle.

The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.

In New Zealand, Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1, 000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.

Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack \"is built around safety from the start\". In his words, \"Reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.

The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency. \"It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot,\" he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.

（1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike ________. A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly B. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1, 000 meters high C. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams D. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed

（2）Peter Coker uses the example of Formula One racing car to show that ________. A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliable B. the engine of the Jetpack is powerful C. the actual structure of the Jetpack is unique D. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height

（3）The underlined word \"It\" in the last paragraph refers to ________.

A. the jet stream B. the engine C. the Jetpack D. the parachute （4）What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage? A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles. B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles. C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles. D. To advertise the two personal flying vehicles. 【答案】 （1）D （2）A （3）D （4）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述一种个人飞行工具很快就会应用于现实，然而

安全性和强度一直是个大问题，文中介绍了两家研发飞行器的公司的最新的产品，新产品把安全放在首位，并对产品进行了改进。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed.” 可知，Hoverbike能够很快地进出小空间。它可快速地在大陆上移动，因为它可以折叠和包装。可知，选D。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第六段Peter Coker说Jetpack从一开始就围绕安全进行的，安全可靠性是最重要的因素。我们在车的现行结构中植入了安全性，非常类似于Formula One赛车。，故选A。

（3）考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的“Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. \"It starts to work at very low altitude …., ”Coker先生说Jetpack上也有降落伞，可以在紧急情况下使用。“在海拔非常低的情况下开始用它…”。可知，Jetpack上的降落伞（它）是在海拔低时才用。由此可知it指的是parachute (降落伞)。故选D。

（4）考查主旨大意。根据第一段可知，许多人一直梦想能像骑自行车一样简单的飞来飞去，科技的发展让这个梦想很快实现。然而飞行自行车的安全性和强度一直是个大问题。接着下面叙述了两家研发飞行器的公司的最新的产品，新产品把安全放在首位。故选B。 【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，是一篇科研类阅读，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。

10．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

\"The history of the world is but the biography (传记) of great men,\" argued Thomas Carlyle, the advocate of what has come to be known as the \"Great Man Theory of History.\" This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times. Whether or not Carlyle's theory proves true is debatable, but that certain individuals cast long shadows is not.

As one who is entrusted with a leadership position, I find it profitable to read of others who have led. Wherever you find me, you'll likely find a good biography nearby. Why is this the case? First, I find good biographies fascinating. I'll occasionally read a novel, but I've never been overly drawn to fiction. I have found myself unable to sleep while in the struggle of the Battle of Britain in William Manchester's The Last Lion. For me, not to read biographies would rob me of pleasure in my life.

Second, I find good biographies informative. A good biographer tells not only the story of a person, but also of their times. Reading a good biography is like wandering through an intellectual shopping mall. The first store is what drew you there, but you will be pleasantly surprised along the way at what other items grab your attention. You'll find no better account of the British Empire at its peak than the opening chapters of Manchester's Visions of Glory, volume one of his The Last Lion. Strictly speaking, a biography is but a slice of history.

Third, I find good biographies relaxing. Winston Churchill once noted a man who works with his hands should have a hobby that engages his mind, and a man who works with his mind should have a hobby that engages his hands. Another way to apply Churchill's saying is to combine technical, pen-in-hand vocational reading with leisurely biographical reading. Indeed, few things are more relaxing to me than winding down the evening and entering into another world. This is why I love reading good biographies, and why I pity the person who neglects them. Don't be counted among their number.

（1）What is implied in the first paragraph? A. The author finds Carlyle's theory undebatable. B. Carlyle believes great men alone cannot create history. C. It is debatable whether one should read great men's biographies. D. The author agrees that history is greatly influenced by certain men.

（2）What does the underlined phrase \"other items\" in the third paragraph refer to? A. good biographies B. stories of certain times

C. the volumes of The Last Lion D. the chapters of the British Empire （3）Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The author considers biographical reading enjoyable. B. The author can travel to another world in the evening. C. The author has fought many battles during his lifetime. D. The author profits commercially by reading biographies. （4）What is the author's main purpose in writing the article? A. To analyze the benefits of vocational reading. B. To introduce to readers his unique reading strategies. C. To present great men's history through biography reading. D. To recommend biography reading through his own experiences. 【答案】 （1）D （2）B （3）A （4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者阐述了喜欢读好的传记的原因。

（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的\"This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times\"可知，这一理论表明，更广泛的历史运动和轮廓都可以追溯到对其时代有独特影响的伟大人物的领导。所以通过第一段的关键词\"go back to，had unique influence on their times\"，判断出第一段暗示了作者同意历史受某些人的影响很大。故选D。

（2）考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的\"A good biographer tells not only the story of a person, but also of their times. Reading a good biography is like wandering through an intellectual shopping mall. The first store is what drew you there, but you will be pleasantly surprised along the way at what other items grab your attention. \"可知，一个好的传记作家不仅讲述一个人的故事，而且还在讲述他们所处的时代。读一本好的传记就像漫步在一个充满智慧的购物中心。第一家商店吸引了你，但你会惊喜地发现，还有其它的商品吸引了你的注意力。所以

作者把读好的传记比喻成购物，将历史人物和某个时期的历史故事比喻成商店的商品。故判断出第三段划线的\"other items\"指的是某个时期的故事。故选B。

（3）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的\"For me, not to read biographies would rob me of pleasure in my life\"以及第三段\" Indeed, few things are more relaxing to me than winding down the evening and entering into another world.\"可知，对我来说，不读传记会剥夺我生活的乐趣。的确，没有什么事情比悠闲地度过夜晚，进入另一个世界更令我放松。所以作者认为传记阅读令人愉快。故A选项\"作者认为传记阅读令人愉快\"是正确的。故选A。

（4）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的\"First, I find good biographies fascinating.\"；第三段中的\"Second, I find good biographies informative.\"；第四段中的\"Third, I find good biographies relaxing.\" 以及最后段\"This is why I love reading good biographies, and why I pity the person who neglects them. Don't be counted among their number.\"可知，首先，我觉得好的传记很吸引人。我发现好的传记信息丰富。我发现好的传记让人放松。这就是为什么我喜欢读好的传记，以及为什么我同情忽视它们的人。不要成为那些不读传记的人群的一员。可知，作者通过自己的经历阐述了自己喜欢读好的传记的原因目的是推荐人们读传记。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，是一篇教育类阅读，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。
