（英语）高二英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解For top students from low-income families, the challenge of applying to colleges is particularly difficult. 1 in 4 deal with all of that—the writing, the studying, the researching and applying—completely on their own. One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up with an adviser.That's the idea behind CollegePoint, an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT, SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than$80, 000 a year, they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students'questions.Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, think about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice：Skidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process.Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what, CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle, an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-state wasn't her first choice, but it was the best option for her.（1）What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.How CollegePoint works.B.The goal of CollegePoint.C.Ways to apply for a free adviser.D.The challenge of choosing colleges.（2）What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges?A.Overestimating their abilities.B.Knowing little about colleges.ck of enough learning experience.D.Failure to get support from their families.（3）Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University?A.She didn't want to stay far from home.B.Her favorite major was provided there.C.She would show her talents to the full.D.The university met her financial needs.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.How to Be a Financial AdviserB.Steps for Top Students to Select Ideal CollegesC.Advisers Help Poor Students Apply to Suitable CollegesD.CollegePoint—a Program Helping Students Score High【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款帮助贫困家庭的优秀生申请合适大学的虚拟建议程序。
（1）考查段落大意。
根据第二段“That's the idea behind CollegeP oint，an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT，SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile，and their families make less than$80，000 a year，they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen，guide and answer students'questions. ”可知本段讲述了CollegePoint的建议者们对那些大学考试分数过关，但是年收入不到8万美元的家庭提供免费的选择大学方面的指导。
可以得知讲述了CollegePoint是如何运作的。
故选A。
（2）考查细节理解。
根据第三段中的“...，for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there.”可知研究表明低收入家庭的学生们很可能选择的大学是低匹配的，因为他们不了解大学。
故选B。
（3）考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的“Nakh le，an adviser in North Carolina，is working with Hensley，an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters，which made her decision much clearer. Finally，the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing.”家境贫寒的Hensley和北卡来罗那的建议者一起分析她的经济救助奖项，使得她的大学选择更清晰。
可知Hensley选择俄亥俄大学是因为这个大学符合她的经济水平。
故选D。
（4）考查主旨大意。
根据第一段中的“One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up with an a dviser.”，以问答形式引出文章主题让申请大学更简单更匹配，可以选择一款帮助贫困家庭的优秀生申请合适大学的虚拟建议程序。

2．阅读理解While your pet fish may appear to be unaware of your presence, chances are that it knows you extremely well and can probably even identify you from a crowd of human faces!To test if this was accurate, some scientists decided to study archerfish（喷水鱼）. These animals don't have a sophisticated（复杂的）brain that is necessary to recognize the slight differences between human facial features.They began by presenting four archerfish with images of two human faces. Initially, the fish spit at both. However, they soon learned spitting water at the one selected by the researchers earned them a food treat. After that, they focused primarily on that image. The researchers then took the experiment one step further by introducing 44 other human faces to the mix.To the researcher's astonishment, the trained archerfish were able to recall the learned image almost 81% of the time. And this accuracy improved to 86% when the researchers made the identification even harder, by replacing the colored photos with a set of black and white images and hiding the shape of the head.The results of the study suggest that though having tiny brains, archerfish may have developed high visual discrimination abilities. While it is contrary to the previous theory that a sophisticated brain is necessary to recognize human faces, the researchers believe they do not recognize faces by recalling complex facial information like gender and identity, but more likely by discriminating between detailed patterns. Even so, the fact that these archerfish could “remember” those faces demonstrates that they have an impressive memory for details that lasts much longer than the originally-thought 3 seconds!This is not the first time researchers have realized how “smart” fish are. Previous studies have shown that fish can recognize those fish they have “socialized” with previously, and even recall complex three-dimensional maps of their surroundings.（1）What is the purpose of the study?A. To describe archerfish are easy to teach.B. To tell people archerfish like to be rewarded.C. To prove archerfish can recognize human faces.D. To show archerfish can easily develop a habit.（2）Why did the researchers use black and white images?A. They could get these images easily.B. Archerfish got tired of color images.C. They wanted to make the task more difficult.D. These images wouldn't get ruined by water.（3）What conclusion did researchers draw in the study?A. Archerfish have a 3-second memory.B. Archerfish could distinguish detailed patterns.C. Archerfish have a special form of communication.D. Archerfish could remember complex facial information.（4）What can we infer from the text?A. Fish are social animals.B. Fish are as clever as humans.C. Fish are able to tell different shapes.D. The results shocked the researchers.【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家对喷水鱼做的实验，实验表明鱼也很“聪明”，它们没有复杂的大脑但是却有辨认面孔的能力。
