一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷
1．阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
E
My dear grandchildren Charlie and Mary,
Your mother Rachel has expected me to write down some advice for you. Here are some important things that I've learnt about life. Wish they could help you more or less.
Hold on to your dreams no matter how difficult they are or how “different” they may seem to others. Just do it! The worst thing in life is to look back and say, “I would have ...; I could have ...; I should have...”
Make a “Life List” of all those things you want to do such as travelling to places, learning a skill, mastering a language or meeting someone special. Don't say “I'll do it tomorrow”. There is no tomorrow, and there is no “right” time to begin something except now.
Be kind and spare no effort to help people — especially the weak and the poor. Everyone has a special pain, and they need our care and help.
Read books, as many as you can. They bring pleasure, knowledge and inspiration (灵感) to you. Always travel, especially when you are young. Don't wait until you have “enough” money or everything is “just right”. That never happens. Get your passport today.
Remember not to argue. It never works, and it only hurts both yourselves and others. You should hug people you love. Tell them how much they mean to you now. Don't wait until it's too late.
Be grateful. There is an Irish saying, “This is a day in our lives, and it will not come again.” Live every day with this in mind.
Yours, Granny

2．阅读理解
When I was eleven years old, God gave me a gift of happiness and I had a carefree childhood in France.
One day, on my way home from school, a truck ran over me and my legs were cut off. As I lay there bleeding, I suddenly realized that I might have to live the rest of my life without legs. How depressed I was at that moment! But then I realized that depression wouldn't get my legs back. So I decided not to waste my life feeling depressed. When my parents arrived at the hospital, they stood there quietly, looked so shocked and sad. I told them, “I've already accepted the fact. Now you also have to get used to this.”
Ever since then, I often see my friends getting worried about little things: their bus comes late; they get bad grades on a test. But I just enjoy life.
I am lucky to realize that it is a waste of energy to focus on what you have lost, and that the key to happiness is to take pleasure in what you have. Sounds simple, doesn't it? So why are many people unhappy?
People often think happiness is based on what they achieve. “My whole life would improve if I had a new car.” But when you get the car and what happens? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.
Happiness is not a happening; it's a state of mind. Even though you have the whole world and you'll still be unsatisfied. And you have relatively(相对地) little but feel full of joy. Happiness comes from mastering the art of enjoying and taking pleasure in what you already have.
（1）After the accident, the author didn't feel depressed anymore because________.
A. the doctors could help him get his legs back. B. he must comfort his parents at that time. C. he knew depression made no difference to him. D. he was just a childish and forgettable kid.
（2）In the author's opinion, the main cause of most people's unhappiness is they______.
A. don't want to achieve more for future. B. pay so much and get so little.
C. always compare with others. D. pay so much attention to what they have lost. （3）In paragraph 5, when the man gets the car he had expected______.
A. he will choose to walk on foot for a week. B. the car will bring a lasting happiness to him. C. he will find the car is no help for him at all D. he will go back to be unhappy after a few days （4）The author wants to tell us _______.
A. how one person enjoys a life without legs B. we should forget the loss and the gains in life C. happiness is just a state of mind
D. our life will be improved if we fight for our dreams. 【答案】 （1）C （2）D （3）D （4）C
【解析】【分析】本文主要讲述了作者在11岁时因一场车祸失去了双腿，但他却并没有因此消沉，而是意识到真正幸福的生活源自懂得满足，不能总在意那些已失去的。
（1）细节理解题。由文章第二段“ But then I realized that depression wouldn't get my legs back. So I decided not to waste my life feeling depressed.”可知作者意识到沮丧并不能挽回自己的双腿，所以再不沮丧，C项沮丧对作者没有帮助作用，符合原文，故选C。
（2）细节理解题。由文章第三段内容和第四段“…… it is a waste of energy to focus on what you have lost, and that the key to happiness is to take pleasure in what you have. ”可知作者认为普通人不幸福的原因是太在意那些失去的东西，D项符合，A,B,C文中均没有提到。故选D。
（3）细节理解题。文章第五段“ But when you get the car and what happens? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.”可知当一个人有了一辆新车，刚开始确实很开心，但过一段时间仍旧会像从前样不开心，A,C文中没有提到，B说法错误，故选D。
