高中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解練習(xí)題《Travel》
現(xiàn)在高中的期末考試復(fù)習(xí)已經(jīng)在進(jìn)行中了。不少學(xué)生表示自己的英語(yǔ)閱讀理解能力不行。下面，小編為大家送上一篇高中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解練習(xí)題，希望對(duì)大家有所幫助。
Most people usually traveled by ship and train which are driven by steam engine. It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine?
The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker‟s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn‟t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.
He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.

附：高中英語(yǔ)閱讀中的三大障礙
1.語(yǔ)言的障礙。
Readingis a comprehensive skill because it concerns the
recognition of configuration, pronunciation, grammatical inflexion and
the comprehension of words, sentences and paragraphs.(魏立明，孫長(zhǎng)順：2001
)由于有的單詞往往有幾種甚至幾十種意思，而一個(gè)詞的確切含義只有在具體的文章之中根據(jù)上下文才能確定。因此，詞義的轉(zhuǎn)換和搭配仍是閱讀中的障礙。所以要
避免進(jìn)入見(jiàn)詞就查字典的誤區(qū)。
2.文化背景知識(shí)的障礙。
因?yàn)槲幕尘爸R(shí)是閱讀的無(wú)形障礙。由于不了解英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的文化背景，因此有時(shí)很難做出判斷。People
believe that both visual and non-visual information is involved in
reading comprehension. As a matter of fact, it seems that the more
non-visual information the reader possess, the less visual information
is needed.(魏立明，孫長(zhǎng)順：2001 )。 所以多做泛讀的訓(xùn)練將有所幫助。
關(guān)于這兩個(gè)障礙的排除在本文的以下部分中也有較詳盡的論述。
3.閱讀技巧的障礙。
而這一障礙又是多方面的。如找中心思想，推斷文章中有沒(méi)有直接說(shuō)明的意思，確定作者的語(yǔ)氣等。本文將就這一方面進(jìn)行重點(diǎn)論述。
