2016高考训练题----阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。My heart beat with that feeling, pumping it like blood to my body as my fingers flew across the piano keys. As the piece neared the end, I stood up to take my final bow. For a second, the room was quiet. Yet, even in that one second, I had enough time to doubt whether I had done everything perfectly. Then, suddenly, the applause came.
“Thank you… so much,” I said, turning to Olga, my piano teacher for six years. “You’ve been an amazing student all these years,” she said, “and I hope that whatever you do, you never stop practicing.”
I leaned forward, promising I would always keep playing because I loved piano, and hugged her.
It turned out to be that promises weren’t as meaningful as I’d hoped for them to be. Right after quitting, I kept up my strict practicing schedule. Soon, it began slipping away from me. After all, the reason I had stopped taking lessons was that my schedule was busy with homework. Not long after, I stopped practicing altogether. It was pleasing not to have to stress about piano anymore. But something was shifting inside of me. I was empty inside.
One day I met Michelle, who had also taken piano lessons from Olga for quite a while.
“So, are you still taking lessons from Olga?” She asked.
“Um, no, actually I just quit a while ago,” I replied quickly.
“Oh, that’s a shame,” she responded, “You used to be so good — I remember your performance a year ago; it was breathtaking.”
Two days after talking to Michelle, I subconsciously(潜意识地)sat down on the bench and started playing. I wasn’t even trying to make the notes sound musically correct…I was simply doing what I should have been this entire time: playing, just to be playing.
As the music spread, a familiar feeling rose inside me.

阅读理解2017·山东省潍坊市高考模拟考试Success is often measured by the ability to overcome
adversity.But，it is often the belief of others that gives us the
courage to try.
J．K.Rowling，author of the Harry Potter book series，began writing at the age of 6.In her biography，she remembers
with great fondness when her good friend Sean，whom she met
in secondary school，became the first person to encourage her
and help build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.
“He was the first person with whom I really discussed my
serious ambition to be a writer.He was also the only person
who thought I was bound to be a success at it，which meant
much more to me than I ever told him at the time.”
Despite
many
setbacks，Rowling
persevered
in
her writing，particularly fantasy stories.But it wasn’t until 1990 that she first conceived the idea about Harry Potter.As she recalls，it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into her head.“To my immense frustration (沮丧)，I didn’t have a functioning pen with me，and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one.I think，now，that this was probably a good thing，because I simply sat and thought，for four (delayed train) hours，and all the details bubbled up in my brain，and this scrawny，blackhaired，bespectacled (戴眼镜的) boy who didn’t know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.”
That same year，her mother passed away after a tenyear battle with
multiple
sclerosis，which
deeply
affected
her writing.She went on to marry and had a daughter，but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.
During this time，Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression.Unemployed，she completed her first novel in area cafes，where she could get her daughter to fall asleep.After being rejected by 12 publishing houses，the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.

阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Can you imagine being savagely attacked by a dog? What if the attack was so severe that your nose, lips and chin were completely destroyed? How would you feel about yourself? Would you be able to look at yourself in the mirror? And how do you think other people would treat you?
Isabelle Dinoire is someone who can answer all of these questions honestly and openly.
Last November Isabelle was attacked and mauled by her own dog. The attack was so severe that her lower face was damaged; it seemed, almost beyond repair. She was rushed to hospital and became the first person ever to have a face transplant.
With such severe injuries doctors offered Isabelle little hope that they would be able to repair the damage to her face using conventional surgery.
Shortly after being admitted, she came to the attention of Dr Bernard Devauchelle who, unlike other surgeons, believed there was an alternative: "We found ourselves saying, yes, it's clear this woman needs a transplant," he said.
Two days after the operation she saw her face in the mirror for the first time．She said, "I was scared to look at myself, but when I did it was already marvelous and I couldn't believe it．I thought it would be blue and swollen but it was already beautiful．"
Now, less than a year after her 15-hour operation, she' s trying to rebuild her life and there is no doubt how she feels about her new face: "I have been saved．Lots of people write saying that I need to go on, that it' s wonderful．It' s a miracle somehow．"
Although there were ethical questions raised about their decision to carry out the procedure, the doctors who operated on Isabelle are quick to defend their decision．
One of them said, "Was it possible for her to live without a face? It's easy to say we shouldn’t have done the operation, but her life has changed, she goes shopping, goes on holiday, she lives again．
1．What would be the best title of the passage?
A．A Face Operation B．The First Face Transplant
C．The Most Severe Damaged Face D．The Breakthrough of Surgery
2．The writer uses the five questions at the beginning of the passage to ______．
A．tell the story about Isabelle Dinoire B．show a severe face damage event
C．invite the readers to answer them D．draw the readers attention to the topic
3．It can be concluded from Isabelle Dinoire' s remarks that
A．she was satisfied with the result of the operation
B．she was too shocked to see herself in the mirror
C．she thought her damaged face couldn’t be repaired
D．she looked more beautiful than before

【阅读理解】人物故事类
阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Eddie Mckay,a once-forgotten pilot,is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.
It all started when Graham Broad,a professor at the University of Western Ontario,found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni (校友)who had served during the First World War,but his name was unfamiliar to Broad,a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity,Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆)in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged,he finally gave up. On his way out,Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture,he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day,there he was,staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find,Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually,a picture came into view.
Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes,outlived his entire squadron(中队)as a WWI flyer,spent some time as a flying instructor in England,then returned to the front,where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke,the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet,in a letter home,McKay refused to take credit,saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.
McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War Ⅱ air bombing on London—an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.
But now,thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students,a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word‘deceased’ (阵亡)next to his name,” said Corey Everrett,a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us,but instead of finishing his time at Western,he chose to fight and die for his country.”
1. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?
A. A uniform of McKay.B. A footnote about McKay.
C. A book on McKay.
D. A picture of McKay.
2. What did the students find out about McKay?
A. He trained pilots for some time.
B. He lived longer than other pilots.
C. He died in the Second World War.
D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.
3. McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in.
A. BelgiumB. GermanyC. CanadaD. England
4. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay.
A. preferred fight to his study
B. went to war before graduation
C. left a picture for Corey Everrett
D. set an example for his fellow students
5. What is the text mainly about?
A. The research into war history.
B. The finding of a forgotten hero.
C. The pilots of the two world wars.
D. The importance of military studies.
