【正文】 （英語(yǔ)）高三英語(yǔ)閱讀理解(人物故事)技巧 閱讀訓(xùn)練策略及練習(xí)題(含答案)及解析一、高中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解人物故事類1．Directions: Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. When she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If that job was left to any other tenyearold, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging. But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel —something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her. It39。s no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre pany, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as The Mother of Dance, with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life. In her autobiography (自傳), one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasn39。t constantly watched. The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were openended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do. Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that she was either pletely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasn39。t one moment Duncan doubted her own genius. There is an old quotation if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance.（1）What does the underlined phrase treat troubles as fuel mean? used troubles to push her forward towards her dream. was good at burning away everyday troubles. turned Duncan into a confident girl. lit the fire of dancing in Duncan.（2）Which of the following is TRUE about Duncan? experience in New York was the foundation of her career. teaching job when she was little destroyed her confidence. dancing style was not very well received at the beginning. mother set higher expectation on her than she could bear.（3）What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph? is useless climbing a tree to catch fish. is a genius in his own way. e from human stupidity. can impact students greatly.（4）What is this passage mainly about? Duncan39。s childhood and her achievements today.39。s career development and other dancers39。 opinions of her. Duncan39。s early experiences and the reasons for her success.39。s high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style.【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，伊莎多拉鄧肯十歲時(shí)輟學(xué)去教別人跳舞，作者講述了她的早期的經(jīng)歷以及其取得成功的原因。 （1）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第二段中的“Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence”即使在那個(gè)年齡，她也有足夠的天賦去掙錢，而且她還有一種罕見(jiàn)的自信；以及“something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her ”能讓她心中燃燒的火焰更旺，可推測(cè)出劃線部分的意思應(yīng)為“用困難推動(dòng)她向夢(mèng)想前進(jìn)”。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. ”可知，她自信地告訴人們她對(duì)舞蹈有不同的看法，她將在世界上傳播。很自然，這在一開始就引起了人們的嘲笑和大笑，但隨著她的工作越來(lái)越多，這樣的事情就不那么頻繁了。由此可知，她的舞蹈風(fēng)格一開始不被人們接受。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”如果你以爬樹的能力來(lái)判斷一條魚，它終其一生都會(huì)認(rèn)為自己是愚蠢的。接著又指出在學(xué)校里，伊莎多拉鄧肯是個(gè)失敗者。在舞廳里，她光彩奪目。由此可推斷出，作者在最后一段想要告訴我們每個(gè)人都是獨(dú)特的天才。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。伊莎多拉鄧肯十歲時(shí)輟學(xué)去教別人跳舞，文章主要介紹了她的經(jīng)歷以及所取得的成功。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)，推理判斷和主旨大意四個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇人物類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。2．閱讀理解 Sometimes just when we need the power of miracles to change our beliefs, they materialize in the places we39。d least expect. They can e to us as a great change in our physical reality or as a simple coincidence in our lives. Sometimes they39。re big and can39。t be missed. Other times they39。re so subtle that if we aren39。t aware, we may miss them altogether. They can e from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously meet at just the right instant. If we listen carefully, we39。ll always hear the right words, at the right time, to dazzle (目眩) us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before. On a cold January afternoon in 1989, I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt39。s Mt. Horeb. I39。d spent the day at St. Catherine39。s Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path, I39。d occasionally see other hikers who were ing down from a day on the mountain. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language, there was one man that day who did neither. I saw him ing from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. As he got closer, I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers I39。d seen. Rather than the hightech fabrics and styles that had been the norm, this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing. He wore a tattered, rustcolored galabia and obviously old and thicksoled sandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so odd, though, was that the man didn39。t even appear to be Egyptian! He was a smallframed Asian man, had very little hair, and was wearing round, wirerimmed glasses. As we neared one another, I was the first to speak, Hello, I said, stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought th
