2024届高考英语 二轮复习 阅读理解 专题训练（含解析）

Passage 1
ReadingArt:ArtforBookLovers is a celebration of an everyday object-the book,represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.The image of the reader appears throughout history,in art made long before books as we now know them came into being.In artists’ representations of books and reading,we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures.We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school,with the book as a focus for relations between the generations.Adults are portrayed(描绘) alone in many settings and poses-absorbed in a volume,deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure.These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago,but they record moments we can all relate to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect(才智),wealth or faith of the subject.Before the wide use of the printing press,books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right.More recently,as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway,artists have used them as the raw material for artworks-transforming covers,pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated.From a 21st-century point of view,the printed book is certainly ancient,but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader.To serve its function,a book must be activated by a user:the cover opened,the pages parted,the contents reviewed,perhaps notes written down or words underlined.And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked,a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private,“off-line” activity.

A.An introduction to a book.
B.An essay on the art of writing.
C.A guidebook to a museum.
D.A review of modern paintings.
2.What are the selected artworks about

D.Work and leisure.
3.Whatdotheunderlinedwords“relateto”inparagraph2mean

4.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader
A.The printed book is not totally out of date.

Passage 2
One in five children starting primary school in the UK are overweight. By the time they leave school, that figure will rise to one in three. The chance of them being overweight in adulthood, which brings a range of associated health risks, is high, at 50%-75%.
The root cause of diet-related fatness is no secret: an energy imbalance between the quantity of food being consumed and the level of physical activity being conducted.Addressing this imbalance needs to be, in part, a review of our diet. More fresh ingredients(材料) especially fruit and vegetables, less processed foods and fewer additives(添加剂) are all important factors in building a balanced diet.
The Department of Health has recognised that a collective approach, rather than just individual behaviour change, is a successful way of achieving this. Universal adjustments like a blanket decrease in sugar content influence the way we eat through the choices available to us.
Applying this approach to school kitchens makes sense. They have an important role to play in maintaining healthy diets. Offering a school menu packed with fresh ingredients and without artificial additives makes a direct and effective impact on what children eat at school.
It’s an area the Soil Association consistently works to handle through its Food for Life programme—working with schools to transform food culture, improve food education and encourage lasting changes to the way schools think about food. It works. In Food for Life schools, pupils are a third less likely to eat no fruit or vegetables than those in the control schools.
One way for schools to get involved is a Food for Life Served Here award, which means at least 75% of dishes are prepared on site using fresh ingredients. It encourages local seasonal produce and requires a commitment to environmentally friendly produce. At its heart, the award is designed to support health and enhance food understanding.
Over 50% of English primary schools have such an award already, serving around 1.7 million meals each day to over 10,000 schools and it’s a figure we’ll see grow.
5.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“Addressing”inparagraph2mean
A.Tackling. B.Ignoring.
C.Maintaining. D.Postponing.
6.Which approach will work for students to build a balanced diet
A.Stopping them eating alone in schools.
B.Getting them aware of the harm of fatness.
C.Ensuring healthy recipes on school menus.
D.Increasing the availability and flavour of food.
7.What can we say about the Food for Life programme
A.It’s a heavy load on schools.
B.It’s complicated to operate.
C.It’s a temporary project.
D.It’s a fruitful attempt.
8.Which type of food may the Food for Life Served Here award promote
A.Sugary snacks.
B.First-class sausages.
C.High-quality imported beef.
D.Freshly picked organic beans.
Passage 3
Perhaps thousands of people have searched for a bronze chest full of gold and jewels hidden in the Rocky Mountains between Santa Fe and the Canadian border hidden by an adventurer. At least four people died in their search for the treasure.
But it’s all over now. Fenn’s treasure has been found. The 89-year-old adventurer named Forrest Fenn, who created the treasure hunt, announced the news via his website.“I don’t know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot,” Fenn wrote.“The treasure was confirmed by a photograph the lucky finder sent me.”
Forrest Fenn, the man who started the hunt, lives in Santa Fe. He was a pilot in the Vietnam War and later accumulated(积累) his wealth as a dealer in art and antiques. Fenn was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer in 1988 and had planned to die peacefully in the woods with his treasure. But when his cancer became less serious, he changed his plan, eventually writing the poem that described his dream resting place, which is where he hid the treasure. The poem appeared in a memoir called TheThrilloftheChase. Fenn said that the chest wouldn’t be found by accident; only a treasure hunter who correctly interpreted the clues would find it.
Several treasure hunters went missing while attempting to find the chest, including hunter Jeff Murphy and Mike Petersen, both of whom went missing in Yellowstone National Park in 2017. Fenn said that he had never been to that park, and that the treasure was not in a dangerous place.“It was in the thick forest of the Rocky Mountains and had not been moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago,” Fenn wrote on his website. It is illegal to remove anything from a national park, which would cause trouble in legally claiming the treasure if it was found there.
9.What contributed to the finding of the treasure
A.Fenn’s announcement.
B.A poem in Fenn’s book.
C.Fenn’s vivid description.
D.A photo on Fenn’s website.
10.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.Who Forrest Fenn was.
B.Where Fenn hid the treasure.
C.How the treasure hunt began.
D.What Fenn did to find the treasure.
11.What can we learn about Fenn’s treasure
A.It was in Yellowstone National Park.
B.It was found by someone by chance.
C.It was moved from one place to another.
D.It was in Fenn’s chosen resting place.
12.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“claiming”inthelastparagraphprobablymean
A.Taking.
B.Burying.
C.Protecting.
D.Acknowledging.
Passage 4
Every culture has a recognised point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests must be passed.
In the US, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grown-up world.
“Nobody wants to ride the bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She remembered the pressure.“It’s like you’re not cool if you don’t have a car,” she said.
According to recent research, 41% of 16- to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.
Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers don’t want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
But the police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18- to 19-year-olds. This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.
Julie Sussman decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner’s permit.
Chad said he had accepted his parents’ decision, although it had caused some teasing from his friends.“They say that I am unlucky,” he said.“But I’d rather be alive than driving, and I don’t really trust my friends on the road, either.”
In China,as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive.
13.Which may serve as the best title of the article
A.Cars helping you to grow up
B.Driving into the grown-up world
C.Teenagers’ driving in America
D.Recognised points of becoming an adult
14.Whatdoestheunderlinedsentencemean
A.He might run into his friends if he drove.
B.He didn’t agree with his friends.
C.He might not be safe if his friends drove.
D.He was afraid that his friends might well lie to him
15.The passage mainly gives information about 　　　.
A.an American culture
B.a cultural difference between America and China
C.a change in the Chinese culture
D.the relationship between driving and a person’s development
Passage 5
From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in MyFamilyandOtherAnimals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic(怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.”
Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book — curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, his sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his loving mother.
Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”
MyFamilyandOtherAnimals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.
As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.
16.Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu
A.Risky.　　　　　　 B.Busy.
C.Tough. D.Diverse.
17.Whatdoestheunderlinedsentencemeaninparagraph2
A.I introduced my family by mistake.
B.I shouldn’t have introduced my family.
C.I couldn’t help introducing my family.
D.I gave wrong information about my family.
18.What are paragraph 4 and paragraph 5 mainly about
A.The book’s writing feature.
B.Durrell’s rich imagination.
C.Some interesting plots of the book.
D.Some vivid descriptions of the island.
19.What is the purpose of this text
A.To share an experience.
B.To recommend a book.
C.To introduce a writing style.
D.To describe an unusual place.
Passage 6
Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it’s easy—you can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in summer.
However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldn’t need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we reused all our plastic bottles, we wouldn’t need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we don’t reuse much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks reused only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.
So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you reuse it, you will help the environment. But what can you do when there isn’t a bin near you Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot.Go green! You can make a difference.
20.What is not mentioned about bottled water in this passage
A.It’s healthy.　　　
B.It’s clean.
C.It’s easy.
D.It’s expensive.
21.Plastic products are made from 　　　.
A.energy B.oil
C.rubbish D.plants
22.Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles
A.To reuse them.
B.To make a piggy bank.
C.To make a plant pot.
D.To drop them into the river.
23.Theunderlinedpartinthispassagetellsus“　　　”.
A.To make a different life, you’d better go outside
B.To look different, you’d better wear green clothes
C.To protect the environment, you can do something
D.To go green, you should use plastic products
