高考必刷题英语阅读理解题一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Imagine waking up one day and finding that your beautiful local beach is no more—gone, its fine white sand swept away by an abnormal storm. You go about your daily business for 12 long years and then suddenly the beach is back, all its glory restored by another storm. This is what happened on the island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.That in itself is unusual enough, but the story gets even better! You see, another beach in Achill did a disappearing act once, but took much longer to return. The beach at Doonagh, located only six miles away from Ashleam Bay, was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created by spring storms had swept away all the sand in 1984, leaving just rock pools behind.There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappears again. But this time around it took a bit longer than that. It was last seen in 2005 and it stayed for a few months at that time before it was washed away again.As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back, and even though no one knows how long it's going to be around for, they are making the most of the time they've got before it disappears again.Some may be quick to believe climate changes cause the phenomenon, but that's not the reason these two beaches in Achill keep disappearing, Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流体力学) and sediment(沉积物) supply, rather than climate changes.Regardless of what's causing them, disappearing and reappearing beaches are just part of what makes nature so fascinating.（1）What is people's reaction to the return of the Ashleam Bay beach?A. Full of fear.B. Quite delighted.C. Very disappointed.D. Extremely con fused.（2）What can we learn about the beach at Doonagh?A. It is not located in Ireland.B. It disappeared 12 years ago.C. It once disappeared for more than 30 years.D. It is just made up of rocks and pools.（3）According to the local legend, when should the Ashleam Bay beach have come back?A. In 1982.B. In 2012.C. In 2016.D. In 2018.（4）What does Dr Kevin Lynch think of the phenomenon?A. Some abnormal storms lead to ocean's enlargement,B. It is hard to uncover the mystery of beach's disappearing.C. Climate changes can result in beaches disappearing completely.D. Hydrodynamics and sediment supply cause two beaches to disappear.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，爱尔兰西北部的一个海滩不易而飞，但过一段时间它又回来了。
传言阿什拉姆湾的海滩每七年返回一次，然后又消失。
有些人可能认为气候变化会导致这种现象，但地理学家凯文·林奇博士认为Achill这两个海滩不断消失的原因是流体力学和沉积物供应共同作用的结果。
而不是气候变化的原因。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的” off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.”及第四段中的“As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back,”。
可知，人们对于海滩的回归是非常兴奋的。
故选B。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第二段中的“The beach at Doonagh, located onl y six miles away from Ashleam Bay, was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created by spring storms had swept away all the sand in 1984, leaving just rock pools behind,”可知，Doonagh海滩于1984年被春天的风暴席卷了所有的沙子只留下岩石池，在2016年初恢复了。
由此可推断出Doonagh在消失了32年后又恢复了。
故选C。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的“the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.”可知，Ashleam Bay是在2005年消失的。
第三段中的“There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappe ars again.” 当地方传说。
说阿什卡姆湾的海滩每七年恢复一次，然后又消失。
也就是2005+7=2012年回归，故选B。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据第五段中的“Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流体力学) and sediment(沉积物) supply, rather than climate changes.”可知，这种现象是流体力学和沉积物供应共同作用的结果。
故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断题型的考查，是一篇新闻报道，要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，选出正确答案。
2．阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she's been while she's on her worldwide vacation in a special way. The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused inconvenience for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.To spread that message. Gallagher has gone to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the world, but instead of simply using a geo-tag (地理位置标签), she writes her location on her artificial leg before taking a picture.Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the beautiful Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river ride in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg."I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board," Gallagher said. "My mum and grandmother didn't like the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did."Gallagher said people often stare when she's writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback (反馈), "My leg hasn't stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do," she said. "I don't know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, anyway, I've been able to keep up with people at my age and lead a pretty great life."Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams.
