（2016高考英语阅读理解精练）阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案。
I like this job, in which I stay with small children and from which I get the challenges and awards. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job. Looking after two little girls, it wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me, I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part – time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a full – time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. Iwish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

【河北省衡水中学2016届高三上学期七调】
So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument ，a misunderstanding，the way we were raised，or some other painful events. Stubbornly，we wait for someone else to reach out to us — believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.
A friend of mine，recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out，she said，“ I can't do that. He’s the one who should apologize. ” After a little gentle encouragement，however，she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement，her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case，when someone takes the chance and reaches out，everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn“ small stuff”问题）”into
really“ big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go，and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go，as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You'11 also notice that，as you reach out and let others be “right”，they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But，if for some reason they don't， that's okay too. You '11 have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world，and certainly you'11 be more peaceful yourself.
21.The underlined word “ rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “
”.
A. recover
B. develop
C. accept
D. replace
22. In the author's opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think
.
A. we can turn small issues into big ones
B. our positions are higher than others
C. our own opinions matter most
D. others will be less defensive
23. The best thing to do after a quarrel is to .
A. let go of our own rights
B. realize that you are wrong.
C. expect others to give in
D. apologize to others first.
24.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People should keep peaceful when facing small stuff.
B. Reaching out and apologizing wins one peace and happiness.
C. We should tell apart small and big stuff in our daily life.
D. It's necessary to enjoy our friendship and family relationship.
【答案】

22.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn“ small stuff " into really“ big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness.可知。当我们心里还有愤怒的时候，我们在我们的想像中把小事转变成大事。我们开始相信我们的地位比我们的快乐更重要，故选C。
23.D推理判断题。考查上下文逻辑推理及语境理解。根据第二段给出的例子，以及最后的总结As is usually the case，when someone takes the chance and reaches out，everyone wins. 当某人利用机会，主动伸出手， 大家就都赢了，可知D先向别人道歉为正确答案。
24.B主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲的是主动示好，道歉会给人带来平和与快乐。因此B项正确。

在阅读中我们经常会遇到许多生词。这时许多同学立即翻阅词典，查找词义。这样做不但费时费力，而且影响阅读速度、影响对语篇的整体把握。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。我们可以利用语境（各种已知信息）推测、判断某些生词的词义。因此，掌握一定的猜词技巧，对突破高考阅读理解、提高我们的英语语言能力都有非常重要的意义。猜测词义时，一般可利用以下四个方面的线索：
一、利用上下文，通过对应结构或平行结构中的同义词、反义词进行判断。
例1，2017年陕西阅读C篇， 2题The author of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure.
猜测modest 一词的意思，根据上下文，可以看出：虽然空气污染这个因素对于健康人士来说危害相对小，并且对于其他因素来说空气污染的危害比较低，但是我们不能忽视它。例2.The game Americans call soccer is known around the world as football.[分析]运用与football的同义关系推断为足球。
二、利用定语从句、同位语从句等进行判断。
例3.In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today．（2005年浙江卷）[分析]由同位语an endangered wild cat我们很快猜出生词ocelots的义域：一种濒临灭绝野猫。
三、根据关键词，如but, however, not only
but also 等进行判断。
四、利用构词法进行判断。 如，转化词性，nurse护士n，--v. 护理； 合成 honey 蜂蜜+moon 月亮=honeymoon 蜜月； 派生， 指由一个词根加上前缀或者后缀构成一个新单词，如词根bus 前加前缀mini 微，小, 构成新词minibus , 小型公共汽车。
