【英语】高考英语阅读理解模拟试题 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 A new family moved in next door and I got to meet the mother of the family, Lydia. Lydia is Korean, and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school. We started talking, and she was apologetic about how bad her English was, but I didnt care. I knew how hard it was to learn a second language. I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play. It was what came next that challenged me: Lydia asked if Id be willing to help her with her English. Now, I am not a teacher. I admire teachers, and Im grateful for teachers, and its because I admire what they do so much that I was very very sure that I couldnt do it myself. But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help. I was doubtful. I wasnt sure my help was even worth being called by that name. But because she asked me, I said yes. And that was the beginning of a friendship. Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper, and as we did, she asked me questions when she had them questions about language, yes, but also questions about the new culture she found herself in. In turn, I asked my own questions, growing curious about her home country and culture. We bonded over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs, When I complimented （恭维） her cooking, she began to teach me about Korean food, eventually leading to a shared trip to explore the Korean grocery stores in our city. Because of Lydia, 1 learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself. Im still not sure that Im any good as a teacher. But Im grateful I said yes when my neighbor asked me to help her with her English. That meant spending extra time with my neighbor, and that extra time meant she didnt remain just my neighbor. She became my friend. （1）What was Lydia sorry
