　　高考英語(yǔ)閱讀理解精選5篇，考前做一遍（附答案解析）

　　第1篇

　　For her first twenty-four year, she'd been known as Deb bie--a name that didn't suit her good looks and elegant manner. "My name has always made me think I should Be a cheer leader," She complained. "I just don't feel like a Debbie!"

　　One day, while filling out an application form for publishing job, the young woman suddenly changed middle name, Lynne, for her first name Debbie. "That was the smartest  thing I ever did," She says now. "As soon as I stopped calling myself Debbie. I feh more comfortable with myself.., and other people started to take me more seriously". Two years after her successful job interview, the former waitress is now a successful magazine editor friends and associates call her Lynne.

　　Naturally, the name change didn't cause Debbie/I.ynne's professional achievement but it surely helped if only by adding a bit of self-confidence to her talents. Social scientists say that what you're called can affect your life. Throughout history, names have not only identified people But also described them. "... As his name is, so is he..." says the Bible. For better or worse, qualities such as friendliness or reserves, simpleness or charm may be suggested by your name and encourageother people before they even meet you.

　　Of course, names with a good sense can work for you even encouraging new acquaintances. A recent survey showed that American men thought Susan to be the most attractive female name, while women believed Richard and David were the most attractive to men. One woman I know turned down a blind date with a man named Harry because "he sounded dull". Several evenings later she came up to me at a party, pressing for an introduction to a very nice man with whom they looked at each other all evening. "Oh, 'I said. "You mean Harry? "She was ill at ease.

　　第2篇

　　Yang Yongfang used to take the bus to work. But, these days, when she takes a look at the bus, all she sees is "a big box full of people,all breathing in there. It seems very unsafe."

　　And that means SARS. So Yang got out her bicycle and dusted it off. Other Chinese who, until recently, appeared to be moving away from the old mode of transportation, seem to he back riding as well.

　　Of course, there's no shortage of bikes. There were plenty long before SARS showed up. But in recent years, private care have been growing in large numbers, crowding bicycles off the streets in some of the biggest cities. Now SARS has brought the bicycle traffic back. Crowded trains and buses look less attractive(吸引人的).

　　In Shanghai 120,000 more bicycles were registered (登記) in April, well above last year's monthly average of 50,000.

　　People's Daily recently reported that "bicycle" had suddenly become the third most frequently searched term on the nation's largest Web search engine.

　　However, if bike sales continue upward, it could become a nightmare (噩夢(mèng))for traffic planners, who had to contend with the often deadly clash between bikes and motorized vehicles. Shanghai officially sees nearly one traffic-related bicycle death a day, a figure that many people here say is probably an understatement (少報(bào)).

　　1. Before SARS broke out, Yang Yongfang______.

　　A. was tired of going to work by car

　　B. went to work by bike

　　C. had already sold her bike

　　答案: C 指導(dǎo)：由于SARS的影響，越來(lái)越多的人愿意騎自行車而非乘車是從身體健康方面考慮。

　　3. The writer of the passage______the phenomenon (現(xiàn)象)that bike sales continue upward.

　　A. is strongly against    B. is for

　　C. shows no opinion of    D. is worried about

　　答案: D 指導(dǎo)：由“if bike sales continueupward，it could become a nightmare．．．可知。

　　4. What is the best title for the passage?

　　A. Bikes Sell Well in Shanghai.

　　B. The New Fashion.

　　C. Back to Nature.

　　D. Shanghai Takes on a New Look.

　　答案: A 指導(dǎo)：為了躲避SARS，人們又重新選擇了自行車，從而導(dǎo)致了自行車的旺銷。因此，將A作為標(biāo)題，可以揭示出“triffic"與"SARS'，之間在這一特定時(shí)期的關(guān)系。

　　第3篇

　　On hearing the words "Just do it!", you will know there is a Nike product nearby. If it's "Always Coca-Cola", you can be sure someone wants to sell you a refreshing drink.

　　An advertising slogan is to a brand what eyes are to a person. The slogan helps people understand the brand better by telling them what it wants to sell to its customers. Good slogans leave a message inside people's minds. It's almost certain that every brand has a popular slogan.

　　Here are a few examples:

　　"Just do it!'--This slogan speaks out to teens. It tells them to do something, but only if they think it's worth it. And if so, why not do it wearing Nike?

　　"Always Coca-Cola.' Coke's slogans change every few years, but this one has enjoyed a lasting popularity because it shows the brand's spirit. It seems to say "Coke is the only drink there is; there are no other forms of drinks."

　　"Share moments, share life."  This slogan from Kodak connects photos and beauty. It takes people to remember the happy moments in life by taking photos of them using Kodak film of course!

　　1. What would be the best title for the text?

　　A. Just Do It!      B. Slogan And Brand

　　C. Famous Slogans   D. What Is A. Good Slogan. ?

　　答案: B 指導(dǎo)：A僅僅是一句廣告語(yǔ)不能代表全文，C和D都是只提到slogan，而全文說(shuō)明的是廣告語(yǔ)和商標(biāo)之間的關(guān)系，故選B。

　　2. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence (Paragraph 2) ?

　　A. A good advertising slogan should draw people's attention.

　　B. A brand should have an advertising slogan just as people have eyes.

　　C. An advertising slogan is as important to a brand as eyes are to a person.

　　D. An advertising slogan acts as the eyes of a brand.

　　答案: C 指導(dǎo)：畫(huà)線部分句意為：廣告語(yǔ)和商標(biāo)之間的關(guān)系猶如眼睛和人的關(guān)系一樣重要。

　　3. The word "them" in the last paragraph refers to ______.

　　A. people

　　B. the happy moments

In railway underground stations, people read notices and maps that told them where to go and what to do in the emergency. This was Exercise Flood Call, to prepare people for a flood emergency.
