（英语）高二英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)及解析
一、高中英语阅读理解
1．阅读理解 
    For top students from low-income families, the challenge of applying to colleges is particularly difficult. 1 in 4 deal with all of that—the writing, the studying, the researching and applying—completely on their own. One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up with an adviser.
    That's the idea behind CollegePoint, an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT, SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than$80, 000 a year, they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students'questions.
    Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research
shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, think about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice：Skidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process.
    Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what, CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle, an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-state wasn't her first choice, but it was the best option for her.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款帮助贫困家庭的优秀生申请合适大学的虚拟建议程序。
（1）考查段落大意。根据第二段“That's the idea behind CollegePoint，an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT，SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile，and their families make less than$80，000 a year，they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen，guide and answer students'questions. ”可知本段讲述了CollegePoint的建议者们对那些大学考试分数过关，但是年收入不到8万美元的家庭提供免费的选择大学方面的指导。可以得知讲述了CollegePoint是如何运作的。故选A。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“...，for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there.”可知研究表明低收入家庭的学生们很可能选择的大学是低匹配的，因为他们不了解大学。故选B。
（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Nakhle，an adviser in North Carolina，is working with Hensley，an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters，which made her decision much clearer. Finally，the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing.”家境贫寒的Hensley和北卡来罗那的建议者一起分析她的经济救助奖项，使得她的大学选择更清晰。可知Hensley选择俄亥俄大学是因为这个大学符合她的经济水平。故选D。
（4）考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up with an adviser.”，以问答形式引出文章主题让申请大学更简单更匹配，可以选择一款帮助贫困家庭的优秀生申请合适大学的虚拟建议程序。故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断，段落大意和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
2．阅读理解
    While your pet fish may appear to be unaware of your presence, chances are that it knows you extremely well and can probably even identify you from a crowd of human faces!
    To test if this was accurate, some scientists decided to study archerfish（喷水鱼）. These animals don't have a sophisticated（复杂的）brain that is necessary to recognize the slight differences between human facial features.
    They began by presenting four archerfish with images of two human faces. Initially, the fish spit at both. However, they soon learned spitting water at the one selected by the researchers earned them a food treat. After that, they focused primarily on that image. The researchers then took the experiment one step further by introducing 44 other human faces to the mix.
