高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Phillip Island is a small island and nature reserve off the coast of South Australia, about 140 km from Melbourne. On the island you can see koalas, kangaroos and the main attraction, the Penguin Parade（归巢）on Summerland Beach.

As dusk was approaching, we made our way down to the beach, as did everyone else. On the beach was a stone grandstand, rather cold on the behind, so bring a coat or blanket to sit on. As it got darker, people talked less, keeping an eye out on the beach to see the arrival of that first penguin.

Suddenly there was movement at the edge of the surf and all heads turned as one. There, standing by the edge of the water was the smallest penguin we had ever seen. He looked left, then right, as if he was considering crossing a busy road and then he ran quickly across to the sand dunes and the penguin holes.

He must have been the scout(侦查员), because after him, there came groups of penguins, some consisted of two or three penguins, and some had about ten or fifteen, but they all made the same mad dash across the sand into the holes, as if they couldn't get there fast enough. The groups started to lessen and finally no more penguins emerged from the sea.

We sat on the grandstand for a while, not talking, just feeling awed(敬畏的) at what we'd just seen. Neither of us had ever seen penguins in the wild before, only in zoos and it was an amazing feeling.

You could see the penguins here every evening and morning, but they weren't in cages or in small pools. The sea was their playground and it is a sight we would definitely recommend to anyone.

You weren't allowed to take flash photographs as it scared them. After the penguins had gone to their holes, you could walk along boardwalks and see them there. That's got to be worth a look.

1.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. The main attraction on Phillip Island.

B. The Penguin Parade on Summerland Beach.

C. The beautiful scenery on Phillip Island.

D. How to protect the penguins on Phillip Island.

2.Which of the following shows the right order of the Penguin Parade?

a. The smallest penguin stands in front of the parade and looks around.

b. Groups of penguins go after the smallest penguin and dash into the holes.

c. The smallest penguin runs quickly to the holes.

d. The penguins appear as a whole.

e. There are no more penguins on the sea.

A. d a c b e　　 B. a b c d e

C. a c d b e　　 D. d a b c e

3.The text is intended for ___________.

A. teachers　　 B. Parents

C. kids　　 D. travelers

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The best time to see penguins is at noon.

B. You could take photos at any time.

C. You could see penguins at dawn.

D. You could play with the penguins.

高二英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

Iceland is a large island. In fact, it’s the world’s 18th largest island. Most of the population, however, lives in the southwestern part of the country, in or around the capital city of Reykjavik. By its very name, you’d expect Iceland to be mostly ice. Looking at Iceland on a map, you’ll notice it sits just outside the Arctic Circle. Despite this location and its name, Iceland actually has a temperate climate, because it is warmed by the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream also helps keep Iceland’s coastal ports ice-free through the winter.

There is plenty of ice on Iceland, though. The country consists of a large plateau(高原)that includes fields of sand, mountains and glaciers. Over 60% of Iceland is tundra（苔原）. About 14% of Iceland is lakes and glaciers. Only about 24% of the country has plants or vegetation of any kind, which covers a vast area in the south of the country.

Iceland was settled in the late 800s and early 900s by Norsemen from the Scandinavian country of Norway. Other settlers also came from Ireland and Scotland. From the 13th century up until 1918, Iceland was part of the Norwegian and later Danish monarchies. For most of that time, the small Icelandic population depended upon fishing and farming to make a living. For hundreds of years, Iceland was one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. After World War II, international aid and industrialization of the fishing industry turned Iceland into one of the wealthiest countries in the world. In 1994, Iceland became part of the European Economic Area(经济区), which allowed its economy to grow even more.

Iceland boasts one of the youngest islands in the world. Surtsey rose out of the ocean during a series of volcanic eruptions between 1963 and 1968. Today, only scientists who study the growth of new life can occasionally visit the volcanic island of Surtsey.

1.What can we know about Iceland according to the passage?

A.It lies in the Arctic Circle.

B.Its capital city is very crowded

C.Many people live in the east.

D.It has a fairly mild temperature.

2.What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph?

A.Iceland’s history.

B.Iceland’s geography.

C.Iceland’s economy.

D.Iceland’s politics.

3.What can we infer about Surtsey from the last paragraph?

A.People live on fishing.

B.No human beings live there at all.

C.There are many visitors.

D.Science is developing fast there.
