2017年高考英语阅读理解专题练习及答案

  (三)

  The brown bear

  My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.

  Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forwards to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign(迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.

  I held my camera tripod(三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.

  Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.

  The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.

  Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five or six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling(扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back towards the forest, before returning for another attack—the first time I felt panic.

  Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I'm proud that my family remained clear­headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

  60. The brown bear approached the family in order to ________.

  A. catch shore birds

  B. start an attack

  C. protect the children

  D. set up a barrier for itself

  61. The bear finally went away after it ________.

  A. felt safe

  B. got injured

  C. found some food

  D. took away the camera

  62. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ________.

  A. pride

  B. patience

  C. calmness

  D. cautiousness

  【要点综述】 本文是一篇故事,介绍的是“我”和全家人在海滩上拍照时突遇一头棕熊的遭遇。作者和熊进行了搏斗,最后棕熊感觉他们没有威胁时,返回了森林。

  60. B 细节理解题。A项为无效信息,因为文中没有提到棕熊捕杀鸟类的事情;根据第二段第二句“An aggressive bear will usually rush forwards to frighten away its enemy…”可推知B为正确答案。

  61. A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat…”可知,棕熊是因为没有了威胁才走的,也就是感到了安全。B、C、D选项都是文中没有提到的信息,为无效信息。

  62. C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容“I'm proud that my family remained clear­headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.”可知,他们全家保持了头脑清晰(clear­headed),若非如此,可能结果就迥异了。所以选C。

  (四)

  It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing shopping at our local supermarket with my five­year­old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.

  Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”

  At the front of the supermarket, a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”

  By now paramedics(急救人员) had arrived, and were attending to the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

  Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him, “My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”

  At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you.”

  The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

  56.What does the author intend to tell us?

  A.One can never be too careful.

  B.Actions speak louder than words.

  C.Love begins with a little smile.

  D.A small act of kindness brings a great joy.

  57.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  A.The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.

  B.Tenyson's idea of buying a flower gained his mother's support.

  C.Tenyson's care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.

  D.The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson's gesture.

  58.The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means “________”.

  A.astonished B.struck

  C.frightened D.excited

  59.What would be the best title for the passage?

  A.Flower power

  B.Mother's Day

  C.An accidental injury

  D.An embarrassing moment

  【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了去年母亲节的早上,“我”带着五岁大的儿子购物要离开时,一位老太太在超市入口处摔倒了,流了很多血。这时儿子提议去超市前面的慈善义卖处给这位老太太买朵花,安慰她一下。后来,作者请老太太的`丈夫转交了花并转达了孩子对她的关爱之心,老人非常高兴。

  56.D 推理判断题。A项意为“一个人无论怎样小心都不过分”;B项意为“事实胜于雄辩”;C项意为“爱开始于微笑”;D项意为“一个小小的善行会带来巨大的喜悦”。综合全文可知,D项最符合文章主旨。

  57.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As we were leaving, we found…on the concrete.”可知,A项是错误的;根据第三段中的“I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller…”可知,B项是正确的;根据第三段中的最后一句可知,卖花的人非常认同作者母子的做法,故C项是错误的;根据最后一段可知,老太太并没有感动得落泪,故D项是错误的。

  58.C 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“He said he was just too scared to go up to her.”可知,儿子被鲜血和医生救助的场景吓到了,他害怕了,故选择C项。astonished 惊讶的,震惊的;struck被打击的;excited激动的,兴奋的。

  59.A 主旨大意题。B项只是个时间点,在本文中并没有详尽表述;C项只是文中的一个小细节;D项在文中没有具体描述。综合全文可知,只有A项概括了全文的事实和主旨,故选择A项。
