2019高考英语专题公关专题10 阅读理解——议论文类
方法与技巧
题型介绍：
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
这种题型的特点是以事实为依据，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
细节题也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。
三、议论文阅读理解题解题技巧
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。
2. Argument/Idea → Evidence → Conclusion/Restating the idea这就是“由论点到论据到结论或者强调论点”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。
解题技巧：
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。
考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

A new commodity brings about a highly profitable，fast-growing industry，urging antitrust (反垄断) regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago, the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants (巨头) that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google，Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.
Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime. The giants' success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery. Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too.
But there is cause for concern. The Internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet
companies' control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God's eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond.
This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is required—and as a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out.
The first is that antitrust authorities need to move from the industrial age into the 21st century. When considering a merger (兼并)，for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms' data assets (资产) when assessing the impact of deals. The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-born threat. When this takes place, especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red flags.
The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of online services have over data and give more to those who supply them. Companies could be forced to reveal to consumers what information they hold and how much money they make from it. Governments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data, with users' consent.
Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy. But if governments don't want a data economy controlled by a few giants, they must act soon.
61．Why is there a call to break up giants?
A．They have controlled the data market.
B．They collect enormous private data.
C．They no longer provide free services.
D．They dismissed some new-born giants.
62．What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate?
A．Data giants' technology is very expensive.
B．Google's idea is popular among data firms.
C．Data can strengthen giants' controlling position.
D．Data can be turned into new services or products.
63．By paying attention to firms' data assets, antitrust regulators could ________．
A．kill a new threat
B．avoid the size trap
C．favour bigger firms
D．charge higher prices
64．What is the purpose of loosening the giants' control of data?
A．Big companies could relieve data security pressure.
B．Governments could relieve their financial pressure.
C．Consumers could better protect their privacy.
D．Small companies could get more opportunities.
【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了数据信息垄断企业的发展导致的后果以及反垄断的措施、对反对数据垄断的未来展望。
61. A 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants (巨头) that deal in data, the oil of the digital age.”和第二段第一句“Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up.”可知，人们呼吁打破垄断的原因是数据信息垄断机构控制了数据市场，故选A项。注意B项中的private data，文中并没有提到私人数据，此题易误选B项。
63. B 推理判断题。根据第五段第二、三句“When considering a merger (兼并)，for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms' data assets (资产) when ass essing the impact of deals.”可知，传统意义上的反垄断组织用公司的大小来决定何时介入，而现在评估时则要考虑公司的数据资产规模。据此可知，关注数据评估，旨在避免陷入传统的“以公司大小”评估的陷阱，故选B项。
64. D 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-born threat. When this takes place, especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red flags.”以及对第六段的理解可知，反垄断部门应该采取行动，使几大因特网巨头放松对数据的控制，使新生的小公司得到更多的发展机会，故选D项。

D
I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let's take a look at three types of “waits”．
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoy ing of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn't come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don't be desperate. You're probably just as busy as the next guy.
51．While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ________．
A．keep ourselves busy
B．get absent-minded
C．grow anxious
D．stay focused
52．What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?
A．The Forced Wait requires some self-control.
B．The Forced Wait makes people passive.
C．The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.
D．T he Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.
53．What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?
A．It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.
B．It doesn't always bring the desired result.
C．It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.
D．It doesn't give people faith and hope.
54．What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?
A．Take it seriously.
B．Don't rely on others.
C．Do something else.
D．Don't lose heart.
55．The author supports his view by ________．
A．exploring various causes of “waits”
B．describing detailed processes of “waits”
C．analysing different categories of “waits”
D．revealing frustrating consequences of “waits”
【文章大意】本文论述了我们人生中经常遇到的三种等待。
51. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的第五句“During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.”可知我们在进行Watched-Pot Wait时很容易走神，心不在焉。
52. A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的第二句“This one requires a bit of discipline.”可知这种等待需要一点纪律，即需要自控。
54. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的倒数第二句“…don't be desperate.”可知作者建议我们下次等待时，不要失去信心。
55. C 篇章结构题。文章的结构是总—分。文章第一段提出有三种类型的等待，然后下面几段内容一直在分析这三种等待，因此作者是通过分析不同的类型的等待来支持他自己的观点的。

But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them. Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects o f American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history. pot and In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with“ a chicken in every a car in every garage.” Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power. The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.

高考七选五专题训练 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 一 I started working at Pizza Hut in December 1989, when I was a freshman in high school. All new employees started by washing dishes and busing tables. If they proved their ability, they learned to make pizzas, cut and serve them on wooden paddles and take orders. 1 I couldn’t keep up, and piles of dishes formed on all sides of me. Every time the pile decreased, the call came back to help clear tables out front, and I returned with more dirty dishes. My shift (轮班) was supposed to end at 9 p.m., but when I asked to leave, the manager, Jeff, shook his head. “Not until the work is done,”he said. “You leave a clean station. 2 However, I worked until after 10 that night. I stayed on dish duty for weeks. My heart sank every time I arrived at work and saw my name written next to “dishes” on the position chart. I spent my shifts behind those steel sinks. I hated every minute I spent on dish duty. 3 One slow mid-week night, when I managed to catch up on dishes and clean out the sinks early, I asked Jeff when I could do something different. “Do you know why you’re still doing dishes?”he asked. “Because you keep complaining about it.” 4 But, he promised, if I continued to leave a clean station and not complain, next week he would put me on the “make table,” where pizzas were put together before being put into the oven. A few days later, when I reported for my after-school shift, I saw my name penciled not in the “dishes” box but in the “make table” box. 5 A. I was excited. B. Some write on a chalkboard. C. I was angry and thought about quitting. D. Nobody likes to work with a complainer, he said. E. And I wasn’t afraid to let everyone around me know it. F. On my first night, the dishes piled up after the dinner rush. G. The people who make a difference in your life come in all types.

2019高考英语阅读理解-推理判断题（含解析） 一、阅读理解 1.根据短文理解，选择正确答案。 Here are six steps to better studying. Pay attention in class Do you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is preventing you from paying attention. Take good notes Write down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board. Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. It's a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject. Plan ahead for tests and projects Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday's test will make it hard to do your best. One of the best ways to make sure that doesn't happen is to plan ahead. Write down your test dates. You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic. Break it up When there's a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts. Let's say you have a spelling test on 20 words. Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word groups and work on one or two different groups each night. Ask for help You can't study effectively if you don't understand the material. Be sure to ask your teacher for help. If you're at home when the confusion occurs, your mom or dad might be able to help. Sleep tight So the test is tomorrow and you've followed your study plan—but suddenly you can't remember anything! Don't panic. Your brain needs time to digest all the information you've given it. Try to get a good night's sleep and you'll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning. （1）We know from the passage that a loud person is ________. A. a student who always answers questions loudly in class B. someone who likes to talk with others in a loud voice C. a student who likes speaking with others in class D. a person who makes a lot of noise in public places （2）If you don't understand what you have learnt, you can ________. A. read your notes over and over again B. turn to people around you for help C. put aside the material for later review D. ask your teacher to explain it the next day （3）By saying “Sleep tight”, what does the author mean?
2019高考英语阅读理解专题选编（12） 李仕才 A In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. Jean’s father was a crop dusting pilot in the little farming community in N orthern California where she was raised, and Jean was very interested in airplanes and flying. She poured her heart into her report and included all of her dreams. She wanted to be a crop dusting pilot, make parachute jumps(跳伞), and be an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale" and that none of the occupations she listed were women’s jobs. Jean was devastated and humiliated. One day in her senior year of high school, her English teacher Mrs Dorothy Slaton gave the class an assignment. "If you had unlimited money, unlimited access to the finest schools, and unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do?" Jean felt a rush of her old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down all her old dreams. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, "You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough." The hurt and fear of years of discouragement went away because of what Mrs Slaton had said. Jean felt excited and a little scared. She stayed after class and went up to the teacher’s desk. Jean thanked Mrs Slaton and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs Slaton half rose and slapped the desk top. "Then do it!" she said. So Jean did. It didn’t happen overnight. It took her 10 years of hard work. It wasn’t in Jean’s nature to stand up for herself when someone refused or humiliated her. Instead, she would quietly try to find another way. She became a private pilot and then flew planes as a co-pilot (副驾驶员). In 1978, she became one of the first three female pilot trainees ever accepted by United Airlines and one of the only 50 women airline pilots in the nation at that time. Some years later, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for United Airlines. 1.When Jean Harper was in the third grade, _________.

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解归类练习—旅游交通（详解） (2012·江西卷)For those who make journeys across the world，the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages.Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village.Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other，allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago. Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far.A price has been paid，they say，for the conquest (征服) of time and distance.Travel_is_something_to_be_enjoyed，not_endured(忍受)．The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey.A journey by train also has a special charm about https://www.doczj.com/doc/5e8789659.html,kes and forests and wild，open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing.On board a plane，however，there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane.The soft lighting，in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know，and the hours progress slowly. Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport.People are conveyed like robots along walkways；baggage is weighed，tickets produced，examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area.Journeys by rail and sea take longer，yes，but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.No wonder，then，that the modern hi gh-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines. Man，however，is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane.The working lives of too many people depend upon it；whole new industries have been built around its design and opera tion.The holiday-maker，too，with limited time to spend，patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days，relaxing in the sun.Speed controls people's lives；time saved，in work or play，is the important thing—or so we are told.Perhaps those first horsemen，riding free across the wild，open plains，were enjoying a better world than the one we know today.They could travel at will，and the clock was not their master. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文，乘坐飞机旅行方便快捷，节省了出行旳时间，然而却也
