【正文】 （英語）高考英語閱讀理解題20套(帶答案)及解析一、高中英語閱讀理解1．閱讀理解 One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so unfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled with this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on. After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these mon behaviors is the habit of filtering (過濾)holding back from saying something until you39。ve checked to make sure that what you39。re about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don39。t know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up. It is the reflex (習(xí)慣性思維) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It39。s fun to realize that you39。re allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don39。t say anything that could land you in jail (監(jiān)獄). All of the Oh! That39。s interesting… Hmm, I39。ve never heard of that Hmm, cool! expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you39。re really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they39。ll hang around and want to talk to you even more. Everyone knows that stories juiceup conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it39。s not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.（1）If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can . A.train their working skillB.improve their life qualityC.enrich their social lifeD.establish their working relationship（2）When talking with others, we should . A.feel nervousB.think twiceC.be free to expressD.avoid breaking in（3）According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?

A.making conversations more boringB.making conversations livelierC.making conversations smootherD.making conversations more relaxing【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇議論文，我們談話時最大的問題之一是尷尬的沉默。遇到這種情況是很不舒服的。作者就這一論點(diǎn)表達(dá)了自己的觀點(diǎn)。（1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities”可知如果在談話時能打破尷尬的沉默，知道說什么，怎么說，就能為友誼，樂趣和共享活動創(chuàng)造巨大的可能性，就能豐富社交生活。故選C。（2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“It is the reflex (習(xí)慣性思維) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It39。s fun to realize that you39。re allowed to say whatever is on your mind.”可知習(xí)慣性思維讓我們表達(dá)我們內(nèi)心所想，意識到你可以說出你心里想說的話，是很有趣的。所以在和別人交流時我們應(yīng)該自由表達(dá)。故選C。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“All of the ‘Oh! That39。s interesting…’ ‘Hmm, I39。ve never heard of that’ ‘Hmm, cool!‘ expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you39。re really you show some interest, they39。ll hang around and want to talk to you even more.”聽者的贊美之詞和他們有興趣想了解更多的好奇心和關(guān)注，是說者最關(guān)心的。故選D。（4）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.”可知故事越有趣或越驚險，就越吸引人，聽者就越難忘記，這說明了故事在談話中的重要性。劃線詞語所在的句子指每個人都知道故事會讓對話變得生動有趣，“juiceup conversations”指讓對話變得生動有趣，與B項同義。故選B。【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇生活類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。2．閱讀理解 You can see a sea turtle named Herman, an octopus ( 章魚) called Octavia, and a seal named Lidia at the Smithsonian39。s National Zoo in Washington, . Rather than real animals, they are actually artworks made out of plastic trash from the ocean. These artworks are part of a traveling exhibit called Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea. The Washed Ashore project, led by the artist called Pozzi, works to raise awareness about plastic pollution in Earth39。s oceans. More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world39。s oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces. Thousands of sea animals die each year from eating plastic bags and other things. Each year, millions more pounds of plastic end up in the ocean. A recent study found that if that continues, by 2050 the total weight of plastic will be more than that of all the fish in the ocean. The Washed Ashore project is working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 artworks of sea creatures harmed by plastic pollution. These artworks are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity (生物多樣性) on land and in the sea, says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.（1）What is the purpose of the artworks shown at the Smithsonian39。s National Zoo? A.To let people know about animals in the ocean.B.To introduce one way of recycling plastic trash.C.To warn people of plastic pollution in the ocean.D.To show Pozzi39。s great gift for creating artworks.（2）According to the passage, what is the source of plastic pollution in the ocean? A.Garbage from towns and cities.16
