（英语）英语阅读理解练习题及答案含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Castle Dale is a small town in central Utah. My grandpa's farm is a few miles to the north. I grew up there. Milking a cow, feeding the chickens and cutting firewood were daily routines. Grandpa had me carrying a broom to do snow cleaning when it was actually taller than I was. This was the work kids like me learned to do at a young age.I was tall, very tall at a really young age. My unusual height caused people to look, ask questions, laugh, tease, and sometimes even challenge me to fight. I was teased cruelly as a kid. It wasn't fair, I knew, but that was just the way it was. Luckily, I was taught at a very young age a very important lesson. I am different and that's Okay—I'm unique and I matter. No one could ever take that away from me. I knew this then, and I know this now. That alone helped me through the frustrations and heartaches of normal life.When I was in junior high school, I realized something else that helped me cope. Most teasing came from one of two places—people who were either jealous or ignorant (愚昧). I couldn't change the way they were, but I could change the way I felt. I was not going to feel bad because of their ignorance or jealousy. It wasn't worth it. Realizing this didn't stop them, or change the fact that these comments hurt. It did, however, give me a way to understand these people and deal with their treatment in a way that was okay for me.These things still happen today. It will probably happen the rest of my life. I will always be 7 feet, 6 inches (2.29 meters) tall. I wouldn't change that for anything. People will always look because it is not every day that you see someone that tall. I learned that at a young age and I now try to teach my own children that they are unique and they matter. That is the message I give to you. Regardless of your race, religion, background, or circumstances ...

（1）考查细节理解。
根据第一段中的“ Castle Dale is a small town in central Utah”Castle Dale 是“我”的家乡，然后介绍了“我”在祖父的农场长大每天做了很多杂事：给奶牛挤奶，喂鸡、砍柴火等；暗示出从小我来自于一个普通的家庭，并没有表现出特殊的地方。
故选A。

根据第二段中的“My unusual height caused people to look，ask questions，laugh，tease，and sometimes even challenge me to fight．”提到“我”从小身高特别高经常受到周围人的嘲笑。
故案选B。
（3）考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“I am different and that's Okay—I'm unique and I matter. No one could ever take that away from me. I knew this then, and I know this now. “可知“我”自小虽然与众不同，但是从内心接受自己．以及最后一段中的“Regardless of your race, religion, background, or circumstances ... Being different is okay. ”可知，“我”走自己的路让别人说去吧！故选A。
（4）考查推理判断。
从整篇文章内容来看，主要描述“我”从小到大由于身高的原因而与众不同，并受到周围人的取笑。
但是“我”并为此感到自卑和沮丧，反而勇敢的接受自己并乐观地积极面对。
Keep your head up．“把头抬起来”形象描述了“我”的心理状态，符合题意。
故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
