全国卷一英语阅读理解模拟题

① 2010年高考英语全国卷1 - 阅读理解E

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
一路上都是微笑的孩子，很明显，他们知道火车什么时候经过他们的家，他们的任务就是站在铁路沿线，向陌生人挥手，在驶向槟城时让乘客开心起来。通常全家人都站在家门口，挥手微笑，好像火漏答车上的人是他们最喜欢的亲戚。这就是淳朴的马来西亚村民，我很感动。

I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
我以往总是乘飞机或汽车去马来西亚，所以这是我第一次坐火车。我不太喜欢长途火车旅行，所以带了十几本杂志供我阅读。我环顾了一下火车，没有一张熟悉的面孔。我叹了口气，坐下来读我的经济学。

It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.
不久，火车穿过堤道，进入马来西亚。柔佛巴鲁只是另一个像新加坡一样的城市，所以人群匆匆经过时，我有些厌倦。随着我们走出城市，一排排笔直的橡胶树和绵延数英里的绿色引入眼帘。然后第一座村庄出现了，我立刻恢复了活力；我决定挥手回应。

From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
从那时起，我的旅程罩简变得有趣起物搜裤来。我把杂志扔进废纸篓，决定融入马来西亚的生活。然后一切都活跃起来了，群山似乎在对我说话，连树都在笑。我目不转睛地看着一切，仿佛我是第一次看见。

The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
时间过得很快，我甚至忘了吃午饭，直到我觉得饿了。我看了看手表，惊讶地发现已是下午3点。很快火车在巴特沃斯停了下来，我看着周围的人，他们看起来都很漂亮。当我叔叔微笑着走过来时，我张出双臂，给他一个温暖的拥抱。我以前从没有这样做过，他看起来很惊讶，饱经风霜的脸上露出了灿烂的笑容。我们拉着手走向他的车。

I looked forward to the return journey.
我期待着回程。

③ 2013年高考英语全国卷1 - 阅读理解A

Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school ,and we were heading home form Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meeting in New York, So I had to get back . But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
有些人为了省钱会竭尽所能，我也是其中之一。带上我家人的最后一个假期，那是我六岁儿子的寒假，经过一周的旅行，我们正从劳德代尔堡回家。航班预定超额，达美航空公司让我们放弃座位，第二天离开，并为每人补偿400美元。我在纽约有会议要参加，所以我必须回去。但我可以让我丈夫和儿子留下来，所以我带着九个月大的孩子回家了。

The next day my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged一okay, ordered-them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?
第二天，我的丈夫和儿子因为乘坐更晚的航班，获得了更多的补偿。是的，我鼓励的——好吧，让他们在机场等候以便从达美“赚”得更多的美元。我们总共花费1600美元，不错吧？

Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is some-timething few of us can afford to pass up.
如今好多人可能认为我不是一个好母亲，也不是一个好妻子。但是作为一位热衷于讨价还价的人，我知道一美元的价值。现在，一笔划算的交易是我们中很少有人能放弃的。

I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
我以寻找最好的交易和揭露最坏的伎俩为生。十多年来，我一直是NBC《今日秀》的消费者记者。我写过几本书，其中一本书名为《交易技巧：消费者生存指南》。我真的是言行一致。

I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children,and expensive restaurants.But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
我告诉你这一点，是因为让花的钱物有所值并不羞耻。给孩子穿的鞋子、衣服和昂贵的餐馆，我也很吝啬，但我会毫不犹豫地花钱去剪个好发型。它保持的时间更长，这是人们的第一印象。我还要买一件经典的家具，品质持久。

2017年全国英语等级考试一级阅读模拟题附答案详解

导语：多做阅读理解习题，多看答案解题思路，有助于提升你的阅读能力。下面是我整理的2017年全国英语等级考试一级阅读模拟题附答案详解，希望对你有用!

The only way to travel is on foot

The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ‘ Palaeolithic Man’, ‘Neolithic Man’, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label ‘Legless Man’. Histories of the time will go something like this: ‘in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the presence of large car parks.

The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world - or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: ‘I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.’ The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says ‘I’ve been there. ’ You mention the remotest, most evocative place-names in the world like El Dorado, Kabul, Irkutsk and someone is bound to say ‘I’ve been there’ - meaning, ‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else. ’

When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travellers.

难句译注与答案详解

The only way to travel is on foot 旅游的唯一方法是走路

难句译注

1. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world – or even if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way.

【参考译文】飞机旅行，你只可俯视世界――如果机翼碰巧挡住了你的视线，就看得更少了。

2.When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the country-side constantly smears the windows.

【参考译文】如果乘车或火车旅行，郊外模糊朦胧的景象不断地掠过窗口。

写作方法与文章大意

文章以因果写作方法，写出了由于种种现代化交通设施、人们不需用脚走路，甚至也不需要用眼看景，出门就坐汽车、公交车、地铁、飞机……，车、机速度飞快，外边的景物难以看清，最终导致人们忘记用脚、用眼成为“无脚之人”。一切都经历不到。作者建议最佳的旅游方法是徒步――经历现实。

答案详解

1.A 人们忘了用脚。答案在第一段：人类学家把以往年代的人们分别标上旧石器时代、新石器时代人，等等。干脆利落地总结了一个时期。当他们转向20世纪，他们肯定会标上“无脚的人”。因为在20世纪，人们忘了如何用脚走路。男人女人早年外出就坐车、公共汽车、火车。大楼里由电梯、自动扶梯，不需要人们走路。即使度假期间，他们也不用脚。他们筑有缆车道、滑雪载车和路直通山顶。所有的风景旅游区都有大型的汽车停车场。

B 人们喜欢汽车、公交车、火车等。

C 电梯、自动扶梯制止人们走路。

D 有许多交通运输工具。

2.A 人们的注意力在未来。见最后一段第一句话：当你高速旅行，现在等于零，你主要生活在未来，因为你大部分时间盯在前面到达的某个地方。真到了，又没有意义了，你还要再向前进。

B 是一种欢乐。

C 满足司机强烈的.渴望。第二段中提及死机醉心于开车、不停车但不是快速前进着眼于未来。

D 生活的需要。这一条在第一段中提及这种情况是因为他们那异常的生活方法强加给时代的居民。这是指不用脚走路，而用一切代步器――交通运输工具，不是开快车。

3.C 人们在旅行途中什么都见不到。答案在第二段，由一地转向另一地，路上你什么都没有见到。乘飞机你只能俯视世界，火车，汽车，只见外界朦胧景象掠过窗子。海上旅游，只见到海。“我到过那里”此话含义就是“我以一小时一百英里在去某某地方时经过那里”。正因为如此，作者指出将来的历史书上会记录下：我们被剥夺了眼睛的应用。

A 人们不愿用眼睛。

B 在高速旅行中，眼睛没有用了。

D 旅行中，人们想睡觉。

4.D 旅行的最佳方式是走路。文章第一段、第二段分别讲述了旅行可不用脚、不用眼等情况。第三段，在讲述了人们只知向前向前，一切经历都停滞，现实不再是现实，还不如死的好。而用脚走路的旅行者总是生活再现实，对他来说旅行和到达是一回事，他一步一步走到某地，他用眼睛、耳朵，以至整个身体去体验现在时刻、旅行终点，他感到全身舒坦愉悦的疲劳，美美享受满足的酣睡;一切真正旅行者的真实报偿。这一段就是作者写文章的目的――走路是旅行的最佳方式。

A 脚变得软弱无力。

B 现代交通工具把世界变小。

C 没有必要用眼睛。

5.C 从高出向下看的景致：俯视。

A 用鸟的眼睛看景点。

B 鸟在看美景。

D 风景点。

⑥ 2022全国新高考Ⅰ卷英语试题及答案解析

高考结束之后，各位考生和家长最想知道的就是考生考的怎么样，有很多考生在考完很着急想要知道试题答案从而进行自我估分，下面是我分享的2022全国新高考Ⅰ卷英语试题及答案解析，欢迎大家阅读。

2022全国新高考Ⅰ卷英语试题及答案解析

2022全国新高考Ⅰ卷英语试题还未出炉,待高考结束后,我会第一时间更新2022全国新高考Ⅰ卷英语试题,供大家对照、估分、模拟使用。

英语各题型答题技巧和 方法

一、听力

听力是高考试卷中的第一道大题，分值很大。听力除了本身的难度，还对个人的整体发挥有很大的影响，不少人就是因为听力没听懂，所以就乱了，以至于后面也没能发挥出正常水平。

听力其实就是两点。第一，听到数字时马上记录，当然高考英语没那么简单，第一个听到的数字往往是干扰选项，并不是答案，一般后面出现的数字才是答案。第二，听力有时候听不懂，问题也不是关于数字的，这时就要联想平时的训练，往往那些平时练习中的 英语听力 高频词汇如果出现了，那么一般就是答案。

二、阅读

阅读我这里也给出两大类方法，一类是先看问题，猜测大意，然后带着问题阅读。第二类，先浏览 文章 。

对于第一类，先看问题时，一定要懂得把几个问题关联起来，猜测大意，记住问题问了什么，然后读文章，不一定要读懂，只要找出文章中自己需要的部分。

第二类，先要浏览文章，把每一段讲了什么记录下来，然后看问题，再回过头来，找出对应段落，细读，最终找出答案。

三、完形填空

完形填空往往比阅读更难做，它不仅要求考生明白大意，而且对考生词汇量的要求也很高。选项中常常会给出几个意思相近的词，这时那个在考试大纲中经常出现的词汇，一般是答案，因为高考不是为了为难人，而是为了督促更多人努力获取知识，而那些大纲中的高频词汇，也就是重点词汇。

四、语法填空

提到语法很多人就头疼，不过英语语法没有汉语那么复杂，根据很多老师的建议，只要把汉语语法中的主谓宾语和定状补语弄清楚，那么英语语法也没有什么困难。

我统计近三年全国卷发现，没有一个语法填空，填的是所给词汇的原型，一般过去分词、现在分词、不定式、分词做状语等是高频考点。

五、短文改错

目前全国卷的短文改错是十分，一共有十处错误，但是如果考生改的超过了十处，那么以前十个为准。

短文改错考点有以下这些，语法错误、词汇变化错误、连词使用错误，这四处错误在近三年全国卷中，每年都有出现。其中连词错误，经常出现的是转折与承接的错误，也就是but与and应用错误，此外现在分词和过去分词的错误也是一直都出现的。

六、 作文

作文是英语考试的最后一题，也是整个高考的最后一题。作文首先要做到两点，一是书写一定要工整，二是尽可能不要有错误，要知道错误一个单词0.5分就没了。

在确保以上两点的基础上，可以应用虚拟句、从句、分词做状语，目前这三种句型是 英语作文 中得分较高的。

高考英语高分技巧

“四个一”原则：每当读英语或说英语的时候，都做到一抬头、一挺胸、一收小腹、一用力。这样，我的英语马上就会变得地道、好听。

“每天有计划的训练自己的“翻译能力”。 学习英语 的最高目标就是：中英文自由转换。这也是社会最需要的能力，当然这也是为你自己创造最大价值的能力。这个能力很难获得，一定要每天坚持练习。先准确翻译单词，然后是 句子 ，其次是短文。

收集好文章。将所有让自己心动的文章反复朗读，最好能脱口而出。因为只有背诵课文才是征服英语的最终解决之路。

⑦ 2017年高考英语全国卷1 - 阅读理解B

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and ecation organization at Bailey Arboretum in LocustValley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
我在“野生动物志愿者”组织工作，这是蝗虫谷贝利植物园的一个援救教育组织，帮助受伤、流离失所或生病的动物。这样的工作可能会令人心碎；因为无法确定动物是否能活下来。然而，当救援起作用时，这种感觉真的很棒！

I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
我接到马特顿镇一位女士的求救电话，她在地上发现了一只猫头鹰幼余尘鸟。当我到达时，我看见了一只两三周大的猫头鹰。为了安全起见，它已经被放在一辆竖弯禅大货车上。

I examined the chick and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
我检查了这只幼闹橡鸟，看起来还不错。如果我能找到鸟巢，我也许能把它放回去，但没那么幸运。接下来的工作就是建造一只鸟巢，并固定在一棵树上。

The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
房主非常乐于助人，给我找来了一只铁丝篮。为了让鸟巢安全舒适，我把一些松枝放进铁丝篮里，然后我把小猫头鹰放进鸟巢里，它很快安静了下来。

Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to alts; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
现在最需要的是这只小猫头鹰的父母，但它们不在。我给了房主一份小猫头鹰饥饿尖叫声的录音。这些录音会让猫头鹰父母知道小猫头鹰的存在，也会鼓励小猫头鹰学着尖叫。我把尽可能多的消息告诉了房主，然后回家，看看晚上会有什么情况。

A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH！The parents had done their ty and would probably continue to do so.
这的确是一个紧张的夜晚，但有时大自然的神灵会眷顾我们！房主打电话说小猫头鹰的父母已经对这些录音做出了回应。我开车过去，鸟巢里的小猫头鹰看起来健康又活泼。鸟巢里出现了最令人感动的一幕——小猫头鹰的身边全是午餐！它的父母已经在尽职尽责，而且很可能会继续这样做。

⑧ 2021年高考英语全国卷 - 阅读理解C

When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly recing waterfowl habitat.
当探险家们第一次踏上北美洲大陆时，天空和大地上到处都是各种各样的野生动物，美洲土著人智慧地保护了这些宝贵的自然资源。然而仅仅几十年，探险家和定居者们就夺走了这些资源中的大部分。数百万只水鸟在市场猎人和一些野心勃勃的运动员手中被杀。上百万英亩，用于喂养和容纳不断增加的水禽种群的湿地干涸，水禽栖息地大大减少。

In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Iowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
1934年，随着《候鸟狩猎邮票法案》的通过，越来越受到关注的国家采取了坚定的行动，制止对候鸟水禽以及对它们的生存至关重要的湿地的破坏。根据该法案，所有16岁及以上的水禽猎手每年都必须购买并携带联邦鸭票。第一张联邦鸭票是由J.N.“丁”达林设计的，他是爱荷华州得梅因的一位政治漫画家，当时被富兰克林·罗斯福总统任命为生物调查局局长。猎人愿意购买鸭票，可以确保我们自然资源的生存。

About 98 percent of every ck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
每一张鸭票的98%直接进入候鸟保护基金，用于购买湿地和野生动物栖息地，纳入国家野生动物保护区系统——确保这片土地得到保护，提供给子孙后代。自1934年以来，已有超过5亿美元的资金投入该基金，用于购买超过500万英亩的栖息地。难怪联邦鸭票计划被称为有史以来最成功的保护计划之一。

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
罗伯特·蒂特顿白天是个律师，业余时间，他和钢琴家玛丽亚·拉斯波娃一起上台——不是作为音乐家，而是作为她的翻页师。“我不是一个熟练的音乐家，但我学会了阅读音乐，所以我可以帮助玛丽亚表演。”

Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
蒂特顿是欧米茄乐团的主席，在过去四年里一直是该组织的官方翻页师。他的工作是坐在钢琴家旁边翻阅乐谱，这样音乐家就不必自己动手而破坏声音的连续。他说他变得和舞台上那些演奏乐器的人一样紧张。

“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
蒂特顿解释道：“这份工作需要很多技能。当你必须翻到正确的位置时，你得确保不要一次翻两页，确保发现音乐中的重复部分。”。

Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
做一个翻页师需要大量的练习。有些曲子长达40分钟，最多需要翻50页，包括重复段落的往回翻。在台上无声的交流是关键，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来示意翻页，这需要他们和翻页师练习。

But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
不过和所有的表演一样，有时也会出问题。”我正准备翻到下一页，但翻页的气流让剩余的几页从架子上掉了下来，”蒂特顿先生说，“幸好我抓住了它们，把它们放回去。”

Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
大多数翻页师是钢琴专业的学生或是有前途的钢琴演奏家，尽管拉斯波娃女士曾经让她的丈夫在舞台上帮她翻页。

“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
“我丈夫是最糟糕的翻页师，”她笑道，“他沉浸入音乐，感受每个音符，我不得不说：‘翻页、翻页！’罗伯特是我一生中遇到的最棒的翻页师。”
