(英語)高三英語閱讀理解題20套(帶答案)一、高中英語閱讀理解1.閱讀理解 US student Vanessa Tahay stands out from the other teenagers in her school. Her skin is dark, her accent is thick, and if you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of. Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she was considered among the best in Los Angeles. When she is on the stage, audiences often go silent. They also laugh, shout and cry. But this doesn39。t e easily for someone who es from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America. When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others for being short and different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”. “How do I defend myself?” Tahay thought. “I don39。t know how.” “Keep going,” her mother would tell her. “At some point, you39。ll learn.” She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVDs: English without Barriers. Tahay39。s elder brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the afterschool poetry club. In the last six years, her English teacher Laurie Kurnick has turned Cleveland Charter High School39。s poetry program into one of the most respected in the city. Her team draws from the likes of . Laurence, Pat Mora and Kendrick Lamar to create poems about their own lives. The poems focus on many things —some funny, some painful. The first time Tahay read the group39。s poems, chills went up her spine (脊柱). “I wish I could write like that,” she thought. “I want to say something.”She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it Invisible. The day her turn came to recite in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15 minutes. “I had so much held in,” Tahay said. “I couldn39。t even finish it.” But she kept at it despite her lessthanperfect grammar, spelling and diction (措辭). Still, she wouldn39。t tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they would make fun of her. But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride,” Tahay said. “They told me that I39。m worth something.” “She had this innocence,” Kurnick said. “This willingness to be genuine and show you things you don39。t ever see.”(1)What did Tahay39。s mother suggest she do when she was teased by others?

Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you? It turns out that this isn39。t just an expression. A study by Yale University and the University of California, San Diego, has found that you and your friends have more genes in mon than strangers do, the Guardian reported. Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and pared them in pairs of unrelated friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1 percent of genes that match. One percent may not sound like much to the layperson (外行), but to geneticists (遺傳學(xué)家) it is a significant number, Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News. In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same greatgreatgreat grandparents as you. So is it a coincidence that you bee friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution that brings you together. People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes, researchers said. In ancient times, it was critical that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar susceptibility (易感性) to the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to survive. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those affecting sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes more often and are therefore more likely to meet and bee friends with each other. Based on their findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the friendship score. It calculates how big the c
