學(xué)英語閱讀理解篇——阿米莉亞·埃爾哈特

 　　即將臨近考試，大家的思緒是不是還停留在上次沒考好的陰影中，尤其是英語的考試不是突擊就能得到提高的，而是要從平時(shí)的練習(xí)中去積累，現(xiàn)在趁著考試還有幾周趕緊學(xué)習(xí)起來吧，關(guān)于英語閱讀理解，hellokid老師為大家總結(jié)的關(guān)于閱讀理解的試題：

　　The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single—engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn’t know how high she was flying. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged (沖) into the sea.

　　Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames (火焰) coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.

　　In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time on, Amelia Earhart was famous.

　　What was so important about her flight? Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty—six minutes.

　　In the years that followed, Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each occasion (時(shí)刻) she set a new record for flying time. Amelia Earhart made these flights to show that women had a place in aviation (航空) and that air travel was useful.

　　原文翻譯：

　　那是193。阿米莉亞·埃爾哈特獨(dú)自乘坐一架小型單引擎飛機(jī)從北美飛往英國。在她離開紐芬蘭幾個(gè)小時(shí)后的午夜，她遇到了壞天氣。更糟的是，她的高度計(jì)(高度表)失靈了，她不知道自己飛行的高度有多高。在夜間，在暴風(fēng)雨中，沒有高度計(jì)的飛行員很困難。有時(shí)，她的飛機(jī)差點(diǎn)墜入大海。

　　就在黎明前，有更多的麻煩。阿米莉亞注意到發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)噴出火焰。她能到達(dá)陸地嗎?除了繼續(xù)前進(jìn)和希望之外，什么都沒做。

　　 后，阿米莉亞·埃爾哈特到達(dá)了愛爾蘭，由于她表現(xiàn)出的勇氣，她在英國和歐洲受到了熱烈的歡迎。回到美國后，胡佛總統(tǒng)在白宮的一次特別晚宴上對(duì)她表示了敬意。從那時(shí)起，阿米莉亞·埃爾哈特就出名了。

　　她的飛行有什么重要的?阿米莉亞·埃爾哈特是第一位獨(dú)自飛越大西洋的女性，她創(chuàng)下了14小時(shí)56分鐘的飛行記錄。

　　在隨后的幾年里，阿米莉亞·埃爾哈特在美國進(jìn)行了幾次飛行，每一次(時(shí)刻)她都創(chuàng)造了飛行時(shí)間的新紀(jì)錄。阿米莉亞·埃爾哈特做這些飛行是為了證明女性在航空業(yè)有一席之地，而航空旅行是有用的。

　　以上，就是關(guān)于閱讀理解的學(xué)習(xí)，可以先自己閱讀再去做題，對(duì)于不理解的地方后邊有翻譯可以對(duì)照學(xué)習(xí)，積累詞匯，學(xué)習(xí) 重要的就是堅(jiān)持，趕緊學(xué)起來吧。
