高考临近，以下是一篇高考英语阅读理解模拟题，希望对大家有所帮助！
Every student can learn rope jumping.
You can jump alone or with your classmate. You can also help turn a long rope for many others to jump over, one at a time. If you jump alone, you will need a short rope and it will be just enough for your height. Try ropes of different lengths until you find a right one for your size.
A rope should be turned slowly. It must also be turned high enough to let you jump freely and safely. Turning the rope freely and safely needs careful timing. In rope jumping, timing means turning the rope slowly enough for you to jump over at the right time without its striking your feet.
When you jump rope, your heart beats faster and your face has a healthy color. But if you jump too many times at first, you will get fired. You must learn when to stop for a rest before you jump again, If you practice, you can increase the number of limes you jumpers without resting.
1. This passage is about _______.
A. a game B. a rope C. rope jumpers D. careful timing
2. How many people can join in rope jumping?
A. One alone. B. Two. C. One or more. D. Two or more.
3. The word “one” in the last sentence of the first paragraph means _______.

5. Which of the following is true?
A. A rope must be turned as slowly as possible.
B. A rope must be turned as high as possible.
C. People can do rope jumping without resting.
D. Careful timing is needed to turn a rope.
【答案与解析】
1. A。全文的每一个段落都在讨论rope jumping，即跳绳这种game。
2. C。由文章的第1段You can jump alone or with your classmate，既然是alone或with classmate，我们可以得知跳绳是一人或一人以上玩的游戏。
3. B。第1段的最后一句讲到Try ropes of different lengths until you find a right one for your size(试试各种不同长度的绳子，直到你找到适合你的身材的一个 right on)，据此显然可推出其中的one指的是“绳子”。
4. B。文章的第1段最后两句告诉我们If you jump alone, you…，所以玩跳绳以前，必须找到适合自己的绳子。
5. D。我们可以在第2段找到Turning the rope freely and safely needs careful timing，这是与D项完全对应的;另外，文中说的是slowing enough，而不是像A、B项所说的as slowly as possible和as high as possible，故排除A和B。根据文章最后一段中的You must learn when to stop for a rest before you jump again可将C项排除。
