英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)
一、高中英语阅读理解
1．阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Youth football team members rescued more than two weeks after sudden flooding trapped them in a cave in Thailand are now being well looked after at a hospital in the northern city of
Chiang Rai. In addition to treating the boys for potential body fluid loss, inadequate nutrition and
lack of oxygen, their doctors also plan to cloly monitor them for symptoms of dias that may
have been infected by animals living in the cave.
"The next step is to make sure tho kids and their families are safe, becau living in a cave provides a different environment, which might contain animals that could transmit…dia," said the local hospital. The boys and their family members have been told to watch for symptoms
such as headache, naua(反胃), muscle pain or difficulty breathing, the reports added.
Yet bad on the location where the boys were trapped—more than four kilometers from the
cave complex's main entrance, past some fully submerged passages—and the fact they have been swimming out wearing full scuba face masks, it ems unlikely that they were living with bats in
the cave or breathed in bat-associated bacteria during their rescue, veral infectious dia experts said. "It's hard to imagine bats got that deep into the cave becau of all tho narrow passageways, but it is possible," says Ian Lipkin, an animal expert and professor at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. "It's unlikely that there would be many animals in there," notes Jonathan Epstein, a doctor at EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit organization that studies dias and how to prevent them. Bats typically like to rest in areas they can easily enter
and exit, not in places that fully flood, he adds.
Bats in Thailand have been linked with a wide range of virus that are similar to vere acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)—Lipkin says. But it ems more likely the boys would have been expod to infection-causing bacteria when they swam through the dirty water with cuts and scrapes. "If you are trying to prioritize issues with respect to health care for the kids, number
one would be psychological damage and cond will be bacterial infections from the cuts and scrapes they may have encountered." Lipkin says.

C. Lipkin said the victims might be infected when their body were expod to bacterial water during the rescue.

3．阅读理解
Oh my God, the robots are taking over! We're doomed! Doomed! Now that I've gotten that out
of my system, it's become clear that while we may or may not be doomed, the robots are taking
糖烙饼家常做法over. The latest example is the government's new guidelines for lf-driving cars.
Tesla, Google and Uber are already testing driverless cars in cities across America. Uber chief
executive Travis Kalanick is among tho predicting that by 2021, lf-driving cars will play a big
part in urban ttings.
Nearly 40,000 people died last year in this nation in automobile-related accidents, and we
believes driverless cars can save tens of thousands of lives annually.
Makes n. Robot drivers are less likely to get drunk, drive without a licen, text while
driving or feel agitated at the scene of a pileup. On the other hand, I wonder how the highly
nsitive cars will react, with walkers constantly dashing into the street. Will they jam on the
brakes every 10 conds?
But there's a bigger picture. Not only are robots replacing humans behind the wheel, but
behind the work desk, in warehous, nior homes, you name it. Robots aren't just taking over
in the workplace.
The question is, where can't a robot function better than a human? How about writing songs?
A robot can go through every combination of notes in record time and come up with a pleasing
melody. The lyrics might be a different story. Is a Grammy-winning song co-written by Hank和蔼反义词
Human and R-3071 in our future?
Finally, it's only a matter of time until we have robot politicians and presidential candidates.
Why not? They can be programmed to be experts in world and domestic affairs and come up with
the best solutions without corruption and bad humors.
Actually, it's too bad such technology isn't available in 2016. Pretty sure the robot would win in
a landslide.
（1）What does the underlined word “agitated” mean?
A. Tired
B. Cautious
C. Careful
D. Anxious
（2）What doubt does the writer have about lf-driving cars?
A. How pasngers behave in it.
B. How robot drivers get the licen.
C. How they avoid crashing into other car.
D. How they respond to walkers on a busy street.准备的近义词是什么
（3）The last questions asked in the sixth paragra ph reflects the writer’s ________.
A. confidence in robots, winning Grammy Awardsoppo如何刷机
B. eagerness to listen to songs written by
robots
C. doubt about robots’ ability to write songs
D. curiosity about the future Grammy songs
（4）What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Robots will control the world in every field
B. Robots are coming but not soon enough
C. Robots are being ud in our daily life
D. Robots can drive cars and write music
【答案】（1）D
（2）D
（3）A
（4）B
【解析】【分析】本文谈论机器人是否会控制世界的问题。以无人驾驶汽车为例，谈论无
人驾驶的优缺点，以及在其他领域对机器人的应用，最后得出结论，机器人等现代化科学
技术全面代替人类只是时间问题。
（1）猜测词义。根据划线词所在句“Robot drivers are less at the scene of a pileup.”可知，作者想说的是无人驾驶汽车看到堵车也不会感到焦虑不安。所以agitated应意为“焦
虑的”，相当于 anxious，故选D。
（2）细节理解。根据第四段中on the other hand, I wonder how the highly nsitive cars
will react, with walker constantly dashing into the street.可知，作者担心的是这些无人驾驶的
汽车如何对经常冲进马路的行人如何反应，故选 D。
