一、考纲解读
阅读理解核心是“理解”。“理解”既包括能准确把握所读材料的表层(字面意思)内容，还要理解内在含义；又包括能概括文章的主旨大意，能对语篇、文段的内部结构进行逻辑分析，推断出段落大
意、文章主旨、作者的观点意图及文中未表达的事实、结论。阅读理解材料内容真实新潮，选材贴
近生活，贴近时代，渗透文化意识，强调实际应用。大致涉及人物趣事、中外交流、社会文化、语
言习惯、历史事件、日常生活、新闻广告、科普知识等等。在体裁上，记叙文、说明文、议论文和
应用文各占一定的比例。
新课标对英语阅读的要求：
（1）理解主旨要义。
（2）理解文中具体信息。
（3）根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义。
（4）做出简单判断和推理。
（5）理解文章的基本结构。
（6）理解作者的意图、观点和态度。
二、解题策略
解答阅读理解题的总体策略应定位于：单句入手，语篇突破，着眼整体，归纳推断。具体的做
法是：
第一、准确理解关键句子、关键词语的意义。善于解读难句、猜测生词的词义和语义，注意跨
文化语言障碍，避免因粗心大意或理解不准确造成曲解或误解。
第二、抓住语句表达的实质。即不仅能看懂词、句的表面意思，而且能够扑捉到文字背后的引
申意义以及作者的态度和倾向，即潜在的深层含义。
第三、要耐心细致地读完全部选项，应按照“误否？虚否？偏否？”的三级思考程序来分析鉴别每一个选项，即先看与文中内容是否相矛盾，再看在文中有没有信息支撑点，最后看能不能完全符
合题目的要求，找出差异，然后根据问题的特点和题型确定选项。不要急于求成，使选出的答案似
是而非。
第四、要仔细审题。学生由于把主要精力都放在选择正确答案上，因此一旦找到了叙述与短文事实相符的选项，就盲目地选它为答案，忽视了题目到底问什么，从而使所选答案答非所问。
第五、要以语篇事实为依据，理解通篇的逻辑关系，把握住语篇的结构与文脉，在事实的基础上进行合乎逻辑的推理，避免盲目的或无根据的主观臆断。
第六、快速阅读，整体理解。
阅读速度阅读理解的重要方面，速度不能过慢，最低要求是30~50 WPM 。平时要养成良好的阅读习惯，克服逐字停顿、回读等坏习惯。阅读时要有紧迫感，集中注意力，力求一个意群一停顿，
甚至一行一停顿。千万不要一遇到生词就查字典，平时要学会根据上下文、构词法、生活常识、
定语从句、同位语从句、破折号、等猜测词义；平时必须进行快速阅读训练或限时训练。还要有强
烈的语篇意识，着重整体理解，要在十分有限的时间内抓住短文要点、搜寻关键词、确定主题句，
还要记忆有关细节、理清短文脉络”。
三、体裁导读
1. 记叙文类
记叙文类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生、发展和结局，通常有时间、地点、人物、事件等。
有些文章是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的，在叙述的过程中有详有略；有些文章是按时间的顺序
叙述的，有顺叙、倒叙等。从总体上来讲，文章的难度通常不大，在阅读过程中，我们一直在某个
线索的引导下，随着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末，因此会感到比较轻松。命题往
往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考
查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。阅读此类文章应特别注意：（1）若是一般故事性文章，
应读懂故事的发生，发展，高潮和结局；（2）若是“哲理故事”，要理解故事所蕴含的哲理意义；（3）若是“逸闻趣事”，应体会对话的风趣性，进而才能感受幽默的精髓。
命题方式包括：

它有以下几个特点：
1). 文章中词汇的意义比较单一、稳定、简明，不带感情色彩，具有单一性和准确性的特点。这类文
章通常不会出现文学英语中采用的排比、比喻、夸张等修辞手法，一词多义的现象也不多见。
2). 句子结构较复杂，语法分析较困难。为了描述一个客观事物，严密地表达自己的思想，作者经常
会使用集多种语法现象于一体的长句。
3). 常使用被动语态，尤其是一些惯用被动句式。

命题形式：
命题特点科普类阅读的主要命题形式有事实细节题、词义猜测题、推理判断题以及主旨概括题
等，其中推理判断题居多。
方法概述:
高考对说明文的考查多为科普说明文，它是阅读理解重要内容，也是高考考查难点。科普类“阅读理解”题愈来愈受到命题者的青睐?而科普类文章往往具有跨学科?行文逻辑性强等特点,要求考生能从文章的整体逻辑以及重要细节上全面把握?
【试题特点】
①注重学科渗透,行文逻辑性强,内容抽象?
②贴近学生的学习?生活实际,有利于激发学生的思维,对选拔优秀考生有一定的作用?
③能全面地考查学生的综合阅读能力和运用所学知识去分析?解决实际问题的能力?
科普类文章往往具有跨学科、行文逻辑性强等特点，学生要从文章的整体逻辑以及重要细节上
全面把握。科普说明文通常设置下列题型：
1）标题判断题
考查对全文的理解。常以What would be the best title of the passage?为设题方式，解题时应特别
注意。
2）生词词义判断题
科普说明文往往提倡揭示自然奥秘、动植物生存特点、产品工艺原理等，易出现一些学术性较
强的生词，这种题常以What does the underlined word mean?或What’s the meaning of the underlined word?形式出现。解题时一定要认真阅读原文，分析原文对自然奥秘、动植物生存特点、产品工艺原
理是如何解释、如何定义的，在此基础上判断生词词义。
3）代词指代判断题
科普说明文在对自然奥秘、动植物生存特点、产品工艺原理等进行解释时易出现动作变换多，
人称转变频的现象，因此常出现代词指代判断题。这些题常以it, them, they 等表物的代词为命题特点，学生要根据上下文语境逻辑判断其指代对象。解题时需认真分析动作转换背景，区分动作不同
的执行者，从而准确判断代词的不同指代。
4）科学方法图示判断题
科普说明文常出现科学方法图示判断题，这种试题或以生物依赖关学—科—网系为命题题点，要求
考生判断正确的生物依赖关系；或以工艺流程为命题题点，要求考生判断正确的流程顺序，或以生
产方法为命题题点，要求考生判断正确的生产方法；或以机械配制为命题题点，要求考生判断正确
的机械配制。解题时一定要认真阅读分析原文对生物依赖关系、发明创造诞生过程和工艺流程过程
的介绍，并且边读边画简易草图，以提高理解准确率。分析备选项时应对照原文介绍情况，找出各
图不同之处，以便最终做出正确判断。
3. 议论文类
议论文是英语中的重要文体，在每年的高考阅读理解中占有一定的比例。相对于其它文体，议
论文阅读要难一些，因此要多加重视。
议论文就是说理性的文章，一般由论点、论据和论证过程组成。议论文都要提出论题、观点、
提供充分的证据，使用一定的逻辑方法证明观点或得出结论。
命题形式：从近几年观的高考英语试题来看，议论文类阅读理解的命题类型主要有：
1). 主旨题: 考查考生对于议论文基本观点的理解，是主旨题设题的目的。做这种类型的题目要弄
清作者想说什么，即作者写此文章的目的。
2). 推理判断题: 以事实为依据，但其结果有绝不是事实本身。它主要测试考生的逻辑思维能力，
侧重于推理。
3). 细节题: 是议论文试题的主要题型。这种题要求考生理解文中的具体观点和具体事实。
题解题技巧:
第一，抓论点、寻论据。阅读议论文我们要抓住论题，即作者提出的观点、给出的例证及最后得出
的结论。抓住了论题，我们就把我了中心。
第二，注重文章结构，理清文章脉络。把握文章结构，有利于对文章大意的理解。从论证方法上讲，常见的议论文结构有以下两类：
1). Put forward a question →Analyze the question →Solve the question
这就是“提出问题、分析问题、解决问题”的过程。
这就是“由论点到论据到结论或者强调2). Argument/Idea → Evidence → Conclusion/Restating the idea
论点”的过程。
第三，体会文章语言特点，把握作者写作态度，准确进行推理判断。
能否正确把握作者的观点和态度是体现阅读能力的重要方面。一般来说，对作者的总的态度和
倾向，必须在通读全文，掌握了论点和论据后，方能做出判断。在判断作者观点态度时，我们应注
意，有时候作者的观点和态度并不是明确地表达出来的，需要我们认真体察。做推理判断时，一定
要遵循逻辑规律，以事实为依据进行合理的推理。
另外，解答此类试题，可以从以下几个方面着手考虑：
作者在开始叙述一个现象，然后对现象进行解释。这类文章的主题是文中最重要的解释或作者
所强调的解释，阅读时要注意作者给出的原因，所以又被称为原因——结果（Cause & Effect）型。还有一种比较常见的是问题——答案型，作者在一开始或一段末以问句提出一个问题（相当于一个
现象），然后给出该问题的答案（相当于解释）。针对文中问题给出的主要答案就是这种文章的中心。
这里强调一点: 答题时优先考虑正面答题(直接从文章内容得出答案) ，然后从中心、态度或利
用解的特征等其他角度对选项进行检验;如果从文章内容中直接无法解决，则从中心和态度方面考虑;次之从解的特征方面考虑。
学生往往最怕此类体裁。山穷水尽时，记住：首先从整体上把握文章中心和作者所持的态度，
靠近中心的就是答案
四、题材导读
1. 人物型阅读理解
人物类阅读属于记叙文文体，描写的都是比较有名的或有重大成就的人，如政治要人、艺术明
星、体育明星等，内容主要涉及某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长和奋斗历
程等，其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线，脉络清楚，可读性较强。
此类文体主要考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。做题时要注意以下几点：(1) 理清事件的线索；(2) 分析人物的个性特点：(3)把握记叙的顺序，即是顺序、倒叙还是插叙。
2. 故事型阅读理解
故事类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生、发展和结局，通常有时间、地点、人物、事件等。
有些故事是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的，在叙述的过程中有详有略；有些故事是按时间的顺序
叙述的，有顺叙、倒叙等。从总体上来讲，故事类文章的难度通常不大，在阅读过程中，我们一直
在某个线索的引导下，随着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末，因此会感到比较轻松。
命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面人
手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。阅读此类文章应特别注意：若是一般的故事性
文章，应读懂故事的发生、发展、高潮和结局；若是“哲理故事”，要理解故事所蕴含的哲理意义；
若是“逸闻趣事”，应体会对话的风趣性，进而才能感受其幽默的精髓。
3. 时事型阅读理解
时事新闻类阅读材料在近几年高考中屡屡出现。这类材料往往语言地道，内容新颖，贴近生活，时效性强。阅读材料的组成有一个共同的特点，即都是由标题( Headline)、导语(Introduction)、背景(Background)、主体(Main body) 和结尾(End)五部分构成。此类文章主题鲜明，文章的第一句话或
第一段往往就是对整篇文章的高度概括，文章的主题大意即出于此。此外，此类文体的设题常有一
个最佳标题的选择，而标题也恰好就是文章的主题大意，因此读懂首句或首段是至关重要的。读者
在阅读时事新闻时，要善于捕捉新闻细节，善于根据问题找到相关句并能分析理解长难句，善于根
据上下文猜测单词、短语的含义，善于归纳、概括、推理、判断及简单计算，从而做好这部分试题。
4. 广告型阅读理解
广告作为信息的载体，与人们的生活密切相关。广告英语具有浓郁的生活气息和强大的感染力
和表现力，成为日常生活中一道亮丽的风景。广告英语与普通英语存在许多差异。广告具有鲜明的
目的性，即说服顾客进行购买，这种目的性决定了其语言的特色和风格，使其独立于其他文体。广
告的题材包括旅游广告、招聘广告、生活指南、通知告示、使用规则、注意事项、商品说明等。广
告的语言特点是人名、地名、专有名词多；生词多；缩略词、独词句、祈使句、省略句多；词汇较
偏僻，语言不规范，结构不完整。此类文章主要考查考生提取信息和处理信息的能力，既注重特定
细节的筛选、类比、综合，又注重推理判断题的考查，题目设置较容易。答题时要耐心细致，当问
题与原文相同时，要学会“对号入座”；当问题与原文不同时，要学会同义变换、解析概念、归纳事
实。
5. 文化教育型阅读理解
文化教育类阅读理解文章属高考常选材料之一。这类文章常涉及文化、教育、法制、宗教等方
面的文学艺术、发明创造、文化遗产保护、宗教与文化、风俗与习惯、道德与法制、中外文学名著
节选、各国学校教育、家庭教育等。这类材料的命题点往往落在主旨大意题和事实细节题上。在做
这类阅读理解题时，应注意以下几个方面：(1) 采用先题后文：先读题目，再带着问题读文章。这类
阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点，如果带着问题读文章，有利于我们抓细节。(2) 先做细节题。因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后，自然会加深我们对文章的理解，这样更有利于做主旨大
意题。(3) 重点敲定主旨题。主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类：一类是main idea型：一类是topic 或title型。
6. 史地自然型阅读理解
历史地理类文章一般涉及某个国家、地区、河流、山脉、海洋、城镇等的地理位置以及与之相
关的社会生活、社会风情、政治经济、人文历史、自然资源、文化习俗、文化遗产等方面的情况，
有相当一部分文章还附有图表供理解或选择。文章选材来源于英语国家的主要名胜或历史事件；命
题以细节题为主，有一定的主观推断题；涉及一定的地理常识或历史知识。阅读史地类文章时，要
重点弄清楚各个地名、人名之间的相互关系和各个国家、地区或城镇之间的地理方位。如果文章或
试题有附图或附表，一定要把附图或附表看懂、看明白。附图或附表的存在就是帮助我们更好地读
懂和理解文章，辅助我们做好有关试题。
自然与环保的话题是备受高考关注的一个热点问题，各地的阅读试题中几乎都有一篇这方面的
文章，有的是关于环境问题的讨论，有的是关于人类对于环境的影响，有的是关于探讨自然环境的
发展规律等。关于此类话题的试题在命题上多以判断题、综合分析题和推理判断题为主。
7. 社会生活型阅读理解
社会生活类阅读文章在高考中的出现频率较高。此类文章涉及人们衣、食、住、行等方面的社
会万象、生活经历、饮食与健康、休闲与娱乐、旅游、服装、住房等内容。同学们读起这类文章会
感觉轻松，试题做起来也比较得心应手。在高考阅读理解题中，这类文章属搭配类材料，所以，它
的命题多数属于中低等难度的送分题，如事实细节题、计算题、识图题等。此类文章的命题多以事
实细节题为主。做题时，要先从题干中找到关键性词语，然后快速在文章中寻找相关细节，细心比
较所给选项与文中细节的区别，在准确理解了细节的前提下，最终确定最佳答案。
8. 科普知识型阅读理解
科普类文章主要包括自然科学类、前沿科技发明类和医疗卫生类，其取材密切联系当前经济和
科技等方面的变化，以介绍某一科学现象居多。科普类文章具有结构严谨、逻辑性强等特点。其主
要命题形式有细节理解题、词义猜测题、推理判断题以及主旨概括题等，其中推理判断题居多。从
词汇角度来看，在科普类文章中，词汇的意义比较专一、稳定、简明、不带感情色彩，具有单一性
和准确性的特点。从语法和句子结构方面看，句子结构较复杂，长难句较多，语法分析较困难。文
章中常用被动语态、定语从句等。科普文常用的修辞手段有：(1) 下定义。有时为了突出事物的主要
内容或主要问题，往往用简明扼要的话给对象一个说法，使读者对被说明的对象有明确的概念。(2) 举事例。举出有代表性的恰当的例子，能够反映一般的情况，准确地说明事物特征。(3) 做比较。选择有外部或内部联系的事物进行比较，往往能增强说明事物的效果。(4) 打比方。适当运用比喻，能够增强说明的形象性和生动性。
科普说明文在结构上常采用的写作方法有：(1)总分式。在说明事物或事理时，段落（层次）之
间有一个总分关系，表现为由总到分、由分到总。(2) 承接式。各层之间按照事物的发展过程，或者
按时间、因果、条件等关系安排，前后相互承接。(3) 递进式。后边在前边的基础上进一步说明，各
层之间的关系是由浅入深。文章的命题除了遵循科普阅读的命题方式外，还经常考查文章的篇章结
构和修辞手法。

第2题普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（全国Ⅱ）D
It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives
aid to try
for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afr something. to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse
if he operates on the brain.
Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks
doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes.
This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.
Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated
on them. He made the monkeys’ blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed
the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and
busy Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.
53. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _________.
A. the time is too short for doctors
B. the patients are often too nervous
C. the damage is extremely hard to fix
D. the blood-cooling machine might break
down
54. The brain operation was made possible mainly by __________.
A. taking the blood out of the brain
B. trying the operation on monkeys first
C. having the blood go through a machine
D. lowering the brain’s temperature
55. With Dr. White’s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain ___________.
A. can last as long as 30 minutes
B. can keep the brain’s blood warm
C. can keep the patient’s brain healthy
D. can help monkeys do different jobs
56. What is the right order of the steps in the operations?.
a. send the cooled back to the brain
b. stop the blood to the brain
c. have the blood cooled down
d. operate on the brain
A. a, b, c, d
B. c, a, b, d
C. c, b, d, a
D. b, c, d, a
答案
53. A
解析:这是一道推断题。根据第一段“Without enough blood,the brain lives for only three to five
可知大脑损伤手术的最大难度在于大脑缺血后生minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage.”
存的时间只有3&5分钟,没有足够手术时间。
54. D
解析:这是一道推断题。根据第二段“He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very
可以推断出通过降低大脑温度可以延长大脑存活
cold,the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes.”
时间,使得手术成为可能。
55.A
解析:这是一道推断题。根据第二段“He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold,the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes.”
可以推断出大脑损伤手术时间可以延长到30分钟。
56. B
解析:这是一道排序题。根据最后一段Dr. White利用猴子做试验的顺序,应该是先把血液降温,然后把降温后的血液输入大脑,然后切断大脑血液做手术。
第3题普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（全国Ⅱ）E Most people want to know how things are made. They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know
a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of. music is made. Where a composer (作曲家）begins, how he manages to keep going- in fact, how and when he learns his trade - all are covered in complete darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery (神秘）.
One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration (灵感）plays in a composer’s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question.
Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the
composer happens to have been born for.
The composer, therefore, does not say to himself: “Do I feel inspired?” He says to himself. like working today?” And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself:
feel sleepy？”if you feel sleepy .you go to sleep. If you don’t feel sleepy you stay up. If the composer doesn’t feel like working, he doesn’t work. It’s as simple as that.
57. What would be the best title for the text?.
A. Composer: a man of mystery
B. Practice makes good music
C. Relation between sleeping and music
D. Music: product of nature
58. The words “covered in complete darkness” underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean
_______.
A. difficult to be made
B. without any light

曲家的工作方式,D选项文中没有提到。
58. D
可以推断出作曲家解析:这是一道推理题。根据第一段“The composer,in short,is a man of mystery.”
从哪里开始,怎么发展,他怎么学习的这门手艺,都不为人知,所以才会神秘,可以推断出“covered in
complete darkness”
是不为人知的意思。
59. C
解析:这是一道推断题。根据第二段“One of the first things the common man wants to know about is
the part inspiration plays in a composer’s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much 可知大众不能理解作曲家并不关心灵感在作曲工作中的作用,可以推断出
interested in that question.”
大众认为作曲家应该比较关注灵感。
60.A
解析:这是一道推断题。根据最后一段可知作曲家对于工作就像人对于睡眠一样(是一种本能）,
也就是说他们对于作曲有一种天赋。
第4题普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（北京卷） A EXERCISE IN EXACTLY 4 MINUTES PER DAY!
$14,615
TIME IS IT. Over 92% of people who own exercise equipment and 88% of people who own health
club memberships do not exercise. A 4-minute complete workout is no longer hard to believe for all the
people who have bought our excellent Range of Motion machine （ROM）since 1990. Over 97% of people
who rent our ROM for 30 days end up buying it, due to the health benefits experienced during that tryout
and the ROM performance score that tells the story of health and fitness improvement. At under 20 cents
per use, the 4-minute ROM exercise is the least expensive full body complete exercise a person can do.
How do we know that it is under 20 cents per use? Over 90% of ROM machines go to private homes, but
we have a few that are in commercial use for 12 years and they have endured over 80,000 uses each,
without need of repair. The ROM 4-minute workout is for people from 10 to over 100 years old and highly
trained athletes as well. The ROM balances blood sugar, and repairs bad backs and shoulders. Too good to
be true? Get our free video and see for yourself. The best proof for us is that 97% of rentals become sales.

59. The advertisement is made believable by__________ .
A. telling stories
B. using figures
C. making comparisons
D. asking questions
答案
56. A
可知解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据本文“Over 90% of ROM machines go to private homes.”ROM首先是个机器,而不是健身卡或者俱乐部,另外根据“The ROM balances blood sugar,and repairs
可知ROM可以平衡血糖,恢复损坏的背部和肩膀,可以推断出ROM是个健身bad backs and shoulders.”
器械。
57. C
解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据第四句“Over 97% of people who rent our ROM for 30 days end up 可知有97％租用了30天的人都买了这个机器。
buying it”，
58. A
解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据第三句“A 4-minute complete workout is no longer hard to believe
可知ROM for all the people who have bought our excellent Range of Motion machine(ROM）since 1990”
使得4分钟就可以完成全身锻炼变得可能,这是它的卖点之一。
59. B
解析:这是一道分析归纳题。文章使用了大量数字介绍ROM的功能和优势。例如97％租用的人都购买了,90％的购买者是私人用户,但是商业用户使用了12年都不用修理等等,所以这个广告使用数
字使人信服。
第5题普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（北京卷） D The Best of Friends
The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five
young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image （形象）of
unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more
harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to b （叛逆的）and selfish .but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material
（商议）and
goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making
process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat
their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says
17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what
I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my home could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my p arents than that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage
rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they ge well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded
as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened
during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has
been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
67. What is the popular image of teenagers today?
A. They worry about school.
B. They dislike living with their parents.
C, They have to be locked in to avoid troubles. D. They quarrel a lot with other family members.
68. The study shows that teenagers don’t want to__________ .
A. share family responsibility
B. cause trouble in their families
C. go boating with their family
D. make family decisions
69. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents__________ .
A. go to clubs more often with their children
B. are much stricter with their children
C. care less about their children’s life
D. give their children more freedom
70. According to the author, teenage rebellion__________ .
A. may be a false belief
B. is common nowadays
C. existed only in the 1960s
D. resulted from changes in families
71. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Negotiation in family.
B. Education in family.
C. Harmony in family.
D. Teenage trouble in family.
答案
67. D
解析:这是一道细节判断题。根据第一段“which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of
可知(青少年）流行的形象是和父母unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.”
无休止争吵完后把自己锁在屋子里,所以给人的印象是常常和其他家庭成员争吵。
68. B
可知孩子们不解析:这是一道细节判断题。根据第二段最后一句“They don’t want to rock the boat.”
是捣乱、制造麻烦的意思。
想制造麻烦。“rock the boat”
69. D
解析:这是一道细节判断题。根据第三段第一句“So it seems that this generation of parents is much
和Susan Crome的描述“Looking more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.”
可知这一代的父母比起30年back on the last 10 years,there was a lot of what you could call negotiation.”
前上一代的父母更善于把孩子当成朋友看待,Susan说有很多事情都可以和她父母商量。也就是说这
一代父母给孩子更多自由。
70. A
解析:这是一道归纳题。根据最后一段第二句“It is possible that th e idea of teenage rebellion is not 作者认为青少年的反叛的观念并不一定来源于事实,所以青少年反叛的观点不一rooted in real facts.”
定正确。
71. C
解析:这是一道主旨题。本文主要结束了家庭和睦的问题,比较了这一代父母对待青少年的态度以
及和上一代父母的比较,结论是现在的家庭比以往更加和睦。
第6题普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（北京卷） E
Hunting
The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left
to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger- shooting, to protect those
animals which still survive.
Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest
forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt
themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.
I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage
in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not
really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild
countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk
death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid
the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to
strengthen your high opinion of yourself.
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives （动机）.
One of them wrote:
“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s o （领地）. You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than
letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half
alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing－not if you respect the thing you kill,
not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”
I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears
（矛）and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in
which modem weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained
elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.
72. There is no more hunting in India now partly because__________ .
A. it is dangerous to hunt there
B. hunting is already out of date
C. hunters want to protect animals
D. there are few animals left to hunt
一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Gemini Man Gemini Man is a big-budget Hollywood sci-fi-action movie based on an original concept, rather than on a superhero comic or an old TV series, even though this particular original concept is more 20 years old. In it a government assassin (杀手)is being hunted down by his own clone The original script was sold by Darren Lemke to a studio in 1997, and since then almost every male A-listener has been attached as a potential star. Now, at long last, Ang Lee has directed Gemini Man, and Will Smith plays both the veteran assassin and his much younger doppelganger (分身). Jojo Rabbit During World War Two, a 10-year-old German boy (Roman Griffin David) is desperate to be a dutiful Nazi, only to discover that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding, a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their house. It may not sound like the stuff of a big-hearted comedy but Taika Waititi can make anything warm and funny. As well as writing and directing Jojo Rabbit, Waititi co-stars as the boy's imaginary friend,a nitwitted Adolf Hitler. Doctor Sleep Mike Flanag's new film is adapted from Stephen King, novel, Doctor Sleep, which was a sequel (续集) to The Shining. You can expect to see blood flowing out of lifts in a rapid stream, ghostly twin girls and headache-including carpet patterns. Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance, the boy with psychic powers m 1980 film. Now, he is a middle-aged hospital counsellor. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Here's another chance to see Angelina Jolie. In 2014 she starred in Maleficent, Disney's live-action remake of the Sleeping Beauty cartoon from 1959. The twist was that the eponymous wicked fairy wasn't so wicked, after all, and that the real villain was the father of Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning). The sequel's subtitle promises that Maleficent will actually be evil this time around, her change of heart prompted by Aurora's engagement to handsome prince (Harris Dickinson).（1）What can we learn from this passage? A. Ewan McGregor plays a role in Doctor Sleep. B. Taika Waititi is the main character in Jojo Rabbit. C. Gemini Man is adapted from a 20-yem--old TV series. D. The real wicked character in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is Aurora. （2）If your friend wants to see a horror movie, which one will you recommend? A. Gemini Man B. Jojo Babbit C. Doctor Sleep D. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil 【答案】（1）A （2）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了四部电影。 （1）考查细节理解。根据Doctor Sleep部分中的“Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance, the boy w ith psychic powers in 1980 film.”可知Ewan McGregor在电影Doctor Sleep扮演Danny Torrance的角色。故选A。
阅读理解训练50篇（1） 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC．In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1．“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________. A．the emotion is harmless B．the emotion is harmful C．the feeling is very strong D．the feeling is hard 2．What statement is right? A．Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症).

C．Angry as you are often, you can't be cancered, D．Anger may cause you a cancer. 3．Expressing anger violently _________ repressing it according to some scientists. A．is just the same as B．is more harmful than C．is no better than D．is much better than 4．According to the author, you'd better _________. A．never be angry B．cool it down before you express it C．laugh and laugh when you get angry D．admit you are wrong when you are angry 二

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Mexico sites on an island plateau (高原) surrounded by volcanic peaks, which makes air quality a constant concern for people who live there. In April, the country took a decisive step toward improving air quality by enacting a temporary ban on private and Federal vehicles in the city. The rule forbids people from driving in the city one day each week and one Saturday each month. Electric vehicles, government service vehicles, public transport options and school buses are not included in the ban. Mexico City isn't the first urban center to be involved in car-free living. But the ban is more than an awareness-raiser. It was enacted with the direct aim of solving air pollution. In March, the city sank into a deep brown haze of smog when the pollution levels passed the 200 mark. The city ordered some 1.1m of the area's 4.7m cars off the streets and also offered free bus and subway rides. Mexico City's temporary vehicle ban raises questions about the best ways to improve urban air quality. India, whose citizens breathe some of the world's dirtiest air, has tried a variety of solutions. Earlier this year, the Indian government started a 4% sales tax on new-car purchases. Beijing also has experience with cleaning the air. The city introduced alternate-day rules in advance of the 2008 Olympic Games, which produced good results. And then there is the London congestion (拥挤) charge, introduced in 2003. The charge has had a measurable effect on air quality. For now, Mexico City — named by the United Nations as the most polluted city on the planet in 1992 — can look forward to the start of the region's rainy season, when daily showers will help lo clean the air. （1）How did Mexico ban vehicles in the city? A. By banning private and Federal vehicles one day a week. B. By forbidding private and public vehicles every Saturday. C. By limiting the number of new cars. D. By prohibiting the vehicles except public ones.（2）What did the government of Mexico do when carrying out the ban on vehicles? A. Raised the number of public vehicles. B. Offered free bus and subway rides. C. Introduced more travel options. D. Encouraged citizens to leave the city. （3）What may contribute to improving the air quality in Mexico? A. Alternate-day rules. B. Tax rises. C. Congestion charge. D. The rainy season.（4）What's the best title for the passage? A. Mexico —an Island Plateau B. A Variety of Bans on Vehicles in Mexico C. Should Cities Be Car-free Zones D. How to Improve Air Quality 【答案】（1）A （2）B （3）D （4）C
高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.

The two didn‘t kn each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before. Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground,―Paris‘s eye rolled back,‖ Taylor says. ―She st was an emergency.‖ It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, ―Does anyone know CPR?‖ CPR is a life-saving technique.

Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,‖ says Taylor. 1.

My team s Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.

For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges,she’s been named national teacher of the year. Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his22years as an educator,but Peterson is“just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.” Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music. When students were reading S.E.Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a30-minute play with scenes from the book.Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused no race,equality and social justice,the themes of the book.Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book. The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Foils.It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns own even win national honors. As national teacher of the year,Peterson will spend the next year outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education. Not surprisingly,She is a big believe in the value of arts education.She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day. 65.The underlined word“daunting”in Paragraph1most probably means__________. A. discouraging B.interesting C.creative D.unbearable
2017高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编（70） 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 “Experience may possibly be the best teacher,but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words,but they actually come from James March,a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years March(possibly the wisest philosopher of management)has studied how humans think and act,and he continues to do so in his new bookThe Ambiguities of Experience. He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning:“Experience is respected;experience is sought;experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及)serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book. In one interesting part of the book,for example,he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting,he argues,we lose part of the complicated truth of things. He says “The more accurately(精确地)reality is presented,the less understandable the story,and the more understandable the stor y,the less realistic it is.” Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher,March is also a poet,and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short,it is demanding:Don’t pick it up lookin g for quick,easy lessons. Rather,be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life. 1.
