高一英语阅读理解试题（生活类）
(1)
Computers are very important to modern
life. Many people think that in the future
computers
will be used in lots of
everyday life. It is thought that we won‟t have to
go shopping because we
will
be
able
to
get
most
things
which
are
sold
in
shops
on
the
Internet.
There
will
be
no
more
books
because we will be able to get all texts from
computers. The Internet will be used to play
games, see films and buy food. Most
telephone calls will be made by computers, too.
Some people are glad about these new
ways of shopping and
communicating(
交际
). Others
do not think that computers will
replace our old ways.
Let‟s
look
at
books,
for
example.
Some
people
think
that
one
day
we
will
not
read
books
made of paper.
Instead, we will buy and read books using
computers. We will read texts on small
pocket computers. The computers will
keep many different books in them at the same
time. We
won‟t need to turn lots of
pages and paper will be saved.
Computerized(
计算机化
) books
will be
used more and more.
Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as
going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It
is a
pleasure to go in to shops and
look at things you want to buy. It is also
unlikely that many people
will want to
read large texts on our computers. Because paper
books will perhaps be more friendly.
Maybe computers won‟t
change
these two habits.
1. In
paragraph(
段落
)1 it is thought
people will use computers for _______.
A. playing games, shopping and making
telephone calls
B. making telephone
calls, having meals and seeing films
C.
seeing films, buying food, and going for holidays
D. playing games, making telephone
calls and seeing the doctor
2. Which
reason for using computerized books is NOT said in
the passage?
A. Computerized books
won‟t be very expensive.
B.
Computers can keep many different books in them.
C. We won‟t have lots of
pages.
D. We won‟t need any
pa
per.

different kinds of ways. People in different
countries eat at
different times of the

important.
It
doesn‟t matter whether foods are eaten
raw(

(3)
Most people around the
world are right-handed. This also seems to be true
in history. In 1799,
scientists studied
works of art made at different times from 1,500
B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the
people
shown in these works are right-handed, so the
scientists guessed that right-handedness has
always been common through
history
. Today, only about 10% to 15%
of the world‟s population is
left-
handed.
Why are there more right-handed
people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know
that a
person‟s two hands each have
their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used
to find things
or
hold
things. The right hand is used to work with
things. This is because of the different work of
the
two
sides
of
the brain. The
right
side
of
the brain, which
makes
a
person‟s
hands
and
eyes
第
4
页
共
53
页
work together, controls the left hand.
The left-side of the brain, which controls the
right hand, is
the
centre
for
thinking
and
doing
problems.
These
findings
show
that
more
artists
should
be
left-handed,
and
studies
have
found
that
left-
handedness
is
twice
as
common
among
artists
as
among
people in other jobs.
No
one
really
knows
what
makes
a
person
become
right-handed
instead
of
left-
handed.
Scientists have found that
almost 40% of the people become left-handed
because their main brain
is
damaged
when
they
are
born.
However,
this
doesn‟t
happen
to
everyone,
so
sc
ientists
guess
there must be another reason why people
become left-handed. One idea is that people
usually get
right-handed from their
parents. If a person does not receive the
gene(
基因
) for right-
handedness,
he / she may become either
right-handed or left-handed according to the
chance and the people
they work or live
with.
Though
right-
handedness
is
more
common
than
left-
handedness,
people
no
longer
think
left-handed people are strange or
unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children
were made to use
their right hands like
other children, but today they don‟t have
to.
1. After studying works
of art made at different times in history, the
scientists found _______.
A. the art
began from 1,500 B.C.
B. the works of
art ended in the 1950s
C. most people
shown in the works of art are right-handed
D. most people shown in the works of
art are left-handed
2. How many people
in the world are left-handed now?
A.
Less than one sixth.
B. More than a
half.
C. About 40%.
D. The passage doesn‟t tell
us.
3. What is the hand for
most people used to do?
A. It‟s used to
find or hold things.
B. It‟s
used to work with things.
C.
It‟s used to make a person‟s eyes work
together.
D. It‟s the centre
for think
ing and doing problems.
4. According to the passage, which of
the following is NOT true?
A. No one
really knows what makes a person become right-
handed.
B. Left-handedness is cleverer
than right-handedness.

2.
A
。细节题。根据句子
Today,
only
about
10%
to
15%
of
the
world‟s
population

left-handed
我们可知现在世界人口中有
10%
—
15%
的人是
left-handed
，
那么与此数接近的应
该是
less than one sixth(
不到六分之一
)
。
3. A<
/p>
。
细节题。

5.
C
。主旨题。文章告诉我们
：有些人习惯用右手做事，有的人习惯用左手做事，

“If you want to see a
thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say.
But touching things can help you to see them
better.
Your eyes can tell you that
glass ball is round. But by holding it in your
hands, you can feel
how smooth and cool
the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is.
When you feel all these about the ball,
you really see it.
With your skin, you
can feel better. For example, your fingers can
tell the difference between
two coins
in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of
water on the back of your hand, too.
You can even feel sounds against your
skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people
like very loud music? They must like to
feel the sounds of music.
All children
soon learn what “Don‟t touch!” means. They hear it
often. Yet most of us keep
on touching
things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we
might buy, such as food, clothes
and so
on. To see something well, we have to touch it.
The bottoms of our feet can feel
things, too. You know this when you walk on warm
sand,
第

页
cool grass or a bad floor. All feel
different under your feet.
There are
ways of learning to see well by feeling.
One way is to close your eyes and try
to feel everything that is touching your skin.
Feel the
shoes on your feet, the
clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At
first, it is not easy to feel
these
things. You are too used to them!
Most
museums
are
just
for
looking.
But
today
some
museums
have
some
things
to
touch.
Their signs say, “Do touch! There you
can feel every thing on show. If
you
want to see better,
reach out and
touch. Then y
ou‟ll really
see!”
1. By touching things
_______.
A. you will have a strange
feeling
B. you will learn how to reach
out
C. you can tell the difference
between them
D. you can tell what
colors they are
2. Which of the
following can be the best title of the story?
A. Touching by Feeling
C. To See Better
—
Feel
B. To See or to
Feel
D. Ways of Feeling
3.
When people buy things in shops, they often
_______.
A. try them on first
C. just has a look
B. put their right hand on them
D. feel and touch them
4
. Why does it say, “At
first, it is not easy to feel these
things?”
A. The things are
used by people, too.
B. People are used
to the things.
C. People know how to
use the things.
D. The things are easy
to feel.
5. Which of the following is
true?
A. Touching can help people learn
things better.
B. Our feet, fingers,
hands and skin can help us enjoy music.
C. People have to learn to see by
feeling as they grow up.
D. Visitors
cannot feel the things on show in some museums.

feel
the shoes on your feet...
，但一开始人们并不习惯去感觉
它们，因为
you are too
used to them

such matters as personal cleanliness
were part of this early training.
We
may not suck our thumbs any more, but as we get
older we get other bad habits. We
can
‟
t
give them
up easily, either.(Anyone who has tried to give up
smoking knows this very well!) Each
period brings its own problems. In
babyhood, it
‟
s thumb-
sucking; in childhood, it

s
nail-biting; in
our teens,
it
‟
s smoking; in middle-age,
it

How do you
address(
称呼
) people in
English when you want to talk to them? The
following
may be some simple rules the
beginners should follow.
1. When
talking to strangers there is often no special
form of address in English. Usually, if
you want to catch the attention of a
stranger it is necessary to use such phrases as
“
Excuse
me
”
.
2.
In
British
English
“
Sir
”
and
“
Madam
”
are
considered
to
be
too
formal(
正式
)
for
most
situations. They are used mostly to
customers(
顾客
) in shops or
restaurants. While in American
English
“
Sir
”
and
“
Madam
”
are
not
so
formal
and
are
commonly
used
between
strangers,
especially with older people whose
names you don
‟
t know.
3.
When you talk to some people you know, you can use
their names. If you are friends, use
their
first
names;
if
your
relationship
is
more
formal,
use
“
Mr
”
,
“
Mrs
”
,
“
Ms
”
,
etc,
before
their
family names.
4. There are
many other forms of address which can be used
between friends and strangers.
However,
many of these are limited in use.
For example,
“
pal
”
and
“
mate
”
can be used between
第
10

共
53
页
strangers, but
are usually only used by men talking to other men.
1. According to the passage,
“
Excuse
me
”
is mainly used to
______.
A. address a person you
don
‟
t know
C.
catch the attention of a stranger
B.
apologize to others
D. suggest good
manners
2.
If
John
Smith
is
your
best
friend,
according
to
the
passage
you
should
often
call
him
______.
A.
John
B. Smith
C.
Mr John
D.
Mr Smith
3. Which of the following is
NOT true?
A.
“
Sir
”
and
“
Madam
”
are used more often in America than in
England.
B. People often use
“
Mr
”
,
“
Mrs
”
or
“
Ms
”
before the
first
names
of
those people
who they don
‟
t
know very well.
C.
“
Pal
”
and
“
mate
”
are usually only used between men.
D.
While addressing friends, people just use their
first names
4. The passage is most
likely taken from an English _______.
A. textbook
B.

C. storybook
D. grammar book

People
are
so
busy
these
days
that
many
people
have
no
time
to
cook.
This
becomes
a
problem, because most families love
home cooking! The food tastes good and warm, and a
family
meal brings everyone together.
In some families, meals are often the only times
everyone sees one
another at the same
time.

Another reason people enjoy home
cooking is that it is often a way of showing love.
A parent
who
makes
some
cookies
is
not
just
satisfying
a
child‟s
sweet
tooth.
She
or
he
is
sending
a
message. The message says,
“I care about you enough to sp
end an
hour making cookies that you
will eat
up in 15 minutes if I let you.”
There is also something about the smell
of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases
people of all ages. It
makes
most of us
feel good and loved, even if
we are the ones doing the
cooking!
Next
time
you
smell
a
cake
making,
stop
for
a
moment
and
pay
attention
to
your
mood(
心情
).

One silly
question I simply can‟t stand is “How do you
feel?” Usually the question is asked
of
a man in action
—
a man on the
go, walking along the streets, or busily working
at his desk. So
wh
at
do
you
expect
him
to
say?
He‟ll
probably
say,
“Fine,
I‟m
all
right,”
but
you
have
put
a
bug(
小虫子
) in his
ear
—maybe now he‟s not sure. If you are
a good friend, you may have seen
something in his face, or his walk,
that he overlooked(
忽略
) that
morning. It starts worrying him a
little.
First
thing
you
know,
he
looks
in
a
mirror
to
see
if
everything
is
all
right,
while
you
go
merrily on
your way asking
someone else “How do you feel?” Every question has
its time and
place. It‟s perfectly
acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you
feel?” if you‟re visiting a close
friend in the hospital. But if the
fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a
train, or sitting
at
his
desk
working,
it‟s
silly
to
ask
him
that
silly
question.
When
George
Bernard
Shaw,
the
f
amous writer of plays, was
in his eighties, someone asked him. “How do you
feel?” Shaw put
him in his place. “When
you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all
right or you‟re dead.”
1.
According to the writer, greetings such as “How do
you feel?” ___
____.
A. show
one‟s consideration for others
B. are a good way to make friends
C. are proper to ask a man in action
D. generally make one feel uneasy
2. The question “How do you
feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked
of
_______.
A. a man
working at his desk
B. a person having
lost a close friend
C. a stranger who
looks somewhat worried
D. a friend who
is ill
3. George Bernard Shaw‟s reply
in the passage shows his
_______.
A. cheerfulness
C. ability
B. cleverness
D. politeness

Strange things happen during sleep. For
example, they move often. You would feel tired if
you didn‟t. You also dream. Part of
your brain is still awake when you dream. Dreaming
happens
when the memory and imagination
in parts of your brain are still awake.

When
you
buy
a
T-shirt,
or
a
fur
coat
in
a
store,
it
often
carries
a
label(
标签
)
telling
who
made
it or from what store it was bought. Indeed, some
labels show the dress is famous and it is
very expensive, so buyers secretly wish
they might be carried for ever. On the other hand,
buyers
who deal with the cheapest
products(
产品
) would be
pleased to do away with labels entirely.
However, There is another
label more important than the one showing from
which store the
dress was bought. When
a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket, from a
store, a label telling what the
product
is made of should be carried to it.
This label is required by law. Besides
telling what the product on show is made of, the
label
第
15
页
共

页
should be in clear English and be where
one can find it easily. The information on the
label must
be the truth.
The reason for this la
bel is
that most buyers today aren‟t expert enough to
know exactly what
kind of fur or
material they are buying. The buyer must believe
in the store that sells the products
or
in what the labels say.
1.
The law requires that furs carry a _______.
A. clean label
C. white label
B. clear label
D. secret label
2. In the
article, the author says a little about _______.
A. black
—
market furs
C. chemical laboratories
B. managers‟
office
D. clothing stores
3. This article mainly
refers to _______.
A.
making furs and clothes
C.
keeping the buyer informed
B. protecting buyers with law
D. businessmen and sellers
4. The author doesn‟t agree
that ______.
A. buyers buy
the clothes without labels
B. clothing
stores sell cheap dresses
C. all the products have labels
D. labels are not true
5.
Which of the following is true?
A. A T-Shirt seldom carries a label.
B. A fur coat with a high
price often carries a false label.
C. A label only says what material the
product is made of.
D. Not

When I asked my
daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the
car, the cooker, the
computer,
the
TV,
or
her
boyfriend,
she
said
“the
phone”.
Personally,
I
could
do
without
the
phone
entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the
telephone is changing our lives more than
any other piece of technology.
Point 1
The
telephone creates need to communicate, in the same
way that more roads create
more
traffic. My daughter comes home at 4:00 pm and
then spends an hour on the phone talking
to the very people she has been at
school with all day. If the phone did not exist,
would she have
anything to talk about?
Point
2
The
mobile
phone
means
that
we
are
never
alone.
“The
mobile
saved
my
life,”
says
Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her
Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton.
Trapped inside, she managed to make the
call that brought the
ambulance(
救护车
)to her rescue.
Point
3
The
mobile
phone
removes
our
secret.
It
allows
Manager
of
Haba
Deutsch,
Carl
Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all
round the world at any time of day to ask where
they are,
where they are going, and how
their last meeting went.
Point
4
The
telephone
separates
us.
Antonella
Bramante
in
Rome
says,
“We
worked
in
separate offices but I could see him
through the window. It was easy to get his number.
We were
so near
—
but we didn't meet for the first two
weeks!”
Point 5
The telephone allows us to reach out
beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to
several
complete
strangers
simultaneously(
同时地
)
on
chat
lines(at
least
my
daughter
does.
I
wouldn't
know what to talk about). We can talk across the
world. We can even talk to astronauts(if
you know any) while they're space-
walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the
computer,
we can
access(
存取
) the Internet, the
biggest library on Earth.

telephone creates the need to communicate”
?
A. People don't
communicate without telephone.
第

B. People communicate because of the
creating of the telephone.
C. People communicate more since

phones improve people's life?
A. Point
3 and point 4
C. Point 1
and point 3
B. Point 1 and
point 5
D. Point 2 and point 5

vacations they should enjoy, but with the
comin

Week”, a

pour out of the country
by tens of thousands. The most popular place they
go to is Hawaii, but

week and spends, as average, $$2, 800 on airline

This is what it
said:
Dear sir,
In 1935 I got engaged. But
unfortunately at that time there was a lot of
unemployment and I
lost my job. I was
six months without a job and then I got work
again. But of course was very
short of
money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring.
The assistant brought some rings for
me
to look at, but she was called away for a moment,
and I put one of the rings in my pocket.
When she came back, I said I did not
know the size of my girl-
friend‟s
finger. So I left the shop
without
buying a ring.
My wife died a short
while ago and the fact that I never paid for her
ring has been on my
conscience
(
良心
) all these years. At the
time the ring cost
￡
2 so I
reckon (
估计
) that is about
￡
10 at today‟s price. And I
am sending you that amount.
Yours truly,
A customer
“Well, well,
well,” said the manager, “life is full of
surprises!”

Chemists have been
studying why people cry. They say the body
produces two kinds of tears.
One kind
cleans out the eye if it gets dirt in it. But when
people cry because of their feelings, these
tears have poisonous chemicals in them.
The body is getting rid of chemicals produced by
strong
feelings.
In the
United States men have heart diseases more often
than women do. Doctors say heart
disease and some other diseases are
related(

pressures of living and working in a
modern
society.
Perhaps
men
suffer
more
from
these
diseases
because
they

And it is possible that as more and
more women work outside the home, they will also
suffer from
more pressure. Then
everyone will need to cry more.

HOW TO QUIT SMOKING
When thinking about quitting (giving
up)…
List all the reasons
why you want to quit. Every night before going to
bed, repeat one of the
reasons 10
times.
Decide positively that you want
to quit. Try to avoid
negative(
消极的
) thoughts about
how
difficult it might be. Develop
strong personal reasons in addition to your health
and
obligations(
责
任
)
to others. For example, think of all the time you
waste taking cigarette breaks, rushing out to
buy
a
pack,
hunting
for
a
light,
etc.
Set
a
date
for
quitting
—
perhaps
a
special
day
like
your
birthday
or
a
holiday.
If
you
smoke
heavily
at
work,
quit
during
your
vacation.
Make
the
date
sacred seriously, and don‟t let
anything change it. Begin to condition yourself
physically; start a
modest(
适度的
)
exercise; drink more water; get plenty of rest.
Immediately after quitting…
The
first
few
days
after
you
quit,
spend
as
much
free
time
as
possible
in
places
where
smoking is prohibited(forbidden), e.g.
libraries, museums, theatres, departments stores,
etc.
Drink
large
quantities
of
water
and
fruit
juice. Try
to
avoid
wine,
coffee,
and other
drinks
which remind you of
cigarette smoking.
Strike
up a conversation with someone instead of a match
for a cigarette.

When
you
are
travelling,
whether
on
business
or
for
pleasure,
you
often
need
to
stay
in
a
hotel. The kind of hotel you choose
probably is decided above all according to how
much money
you
want
to
spend. There
are
small
hotels
with
very
few
services,
where
the
prices
are
low,
or
there are
large hotels with all the very latest comforts,
where you could spend all the money you
have in the bank for one very
comfortable night.
There
are several different kinds of people who go to
hotels. Some want to live, rather than
just stay, in a hotel; the hotels which
are designed to meet their needs are called
residential hotels.
However, most
people who stay in hotels are either business
people or tourists on holiday.
In
most hotels, there are
two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of
one person, and
double rooms, for the
use of two people. In addition, in large hotels,
there are also suites(
套房
),
which
include
two
or
more
rooms
connected
together
—
perhaps
a
bed-room
and
a
living
room.
They are for people who are very rich
or very important.
1. One‟s
choice of a particular hotel is made mainly
according to _______.
A.
how much one is willing to pay for a night
B. whether one is travelling on
business or for pleasure
C. whether the
hotel is in the central part of a city
D. how good the services of the hotel
are

country comes, he will _______.
A. live in a new hotel with a suite
C. stay in a double room of
a hotel
B. stay in a single room of a
hotel
D. stay in a suite of a modern
hotel
3. If a person stays in a modern
hotel with latest comforts for a night, _______.
A. he will become poor
B. he has to pay a lot of money
C. he has to spend all the money he has
in the bank
D. he has to pay some money
4. The title of the article is probably
_______.

Hotel

B.
Cost of a Hotel

Hotels
【答案与解析】
