Once upon a time, there was a poor boy named Jack. He lived with his mother in a small cottage on the outskirts of a village. They had a cow, which was their only source of income. One day, the cow stopped giving milk, and Jack's mother decided to sell it at the market.
On the way to the market, Jack met a strange old man who offered him five magic beans in exchange for the cow. Jack, always looking for an adventure, agreed to the deal and went back home.
When Jack's mother found out about the beans, she was furious. She threw them out of the window and sent Jack to bed without dinner. The next morning, Jack was surprised to find a huge beanstalk outside his window. He climbed up the beanstalk and reached a magical land in the clouds.
In the land above the clouds, Jack discovered a giant's castle. He sneaked inside and found a room full of golden eggs. Jack decided to steal one of the eggs and take it back home. However, just as he was about to leave, the giant woke up and chased him down the beanstalk.

高中英语阅读理解测试题 篇三
For any Englishman,there can never be any discussion as to who is the worlds greatest dramatist(剧作家).Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him:that of William Shakespeare Every Englishman has some knowledge,however slight,of the work of our greatest writer.All of US use words,phrases and quotations from Shakespeares writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people.Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used,rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well—known proverbs and quotations.
Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,makes full use of the great resources of the English language.Most of US use about five thousand words in our normal use of English;Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.

Passage 2
当提及谁是世界上最伟大的剧作家,对于每个英国人来说,答案都毫无疑义。只有一个名字值得这个称号——莎士比亚。对于我们这个最伟大的剧作家,每个英国人都有些了解,即使很少。从莎翁的剧作中我们拿来使用的单词,习语和引用,已经变成了英语使用者的通用词库中的一部分。很多
时候我们可能不知道自己使用的词语的来源,就好像一个去看过哈姆雷特的老妪回来之后抱怨剧中充满了大家都知道的谚语和引用语。
莎翁与其它作者相比,更充分的利用了英语语言这一资源。大多数的人日常使用不过5000英语词汇而已,但是莎翁在他的作品中使用了2万5千左右的词汇。 对于一个外国人来说,研读莎翁对英语丰富多彩的使用方法是欣赏英语丰富性和多样性最好的手段。虽说从莎翁的年代至今,一些英语的用法,许多单词的意义发生了变化,但是对莎翁作品的研究是十分有意义的。(当然,对于初学英语的人不太推荐。)
高中英语阅读理解测试题 篇四
When Mrs.Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna,Austria,people asked the obvious,“Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100.Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities.In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place,city living often provides benefits that country living can lack.One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed. This factor is exercise.in the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus.Even taking public transportation often requires some walking.Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯),and so people must climb stairs.City people can usually walk to local supermarkets Since parking spaces are hard to find,there is often no alternative to walking.
On the other hand,those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day.In fact,the opposite is often true.To go to school,work,or almost anywhere else,they must ride in cars.
