【英语】高考英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解As a volunteer teacher, I moved into an apartment with eagerness. Sorting all the necessary paperwork out, I got ready to start my work. Great, or so I thought. At 4 a.m. and at several intervals after that, I was rudely awaken by the cock that lives opposite me. Fantastic! I now have 5 extra alarms every morning.In the following weeks, I also started to notice a trend. Things in my flat started to break at the rate of one object per day, like the hot water line, bowls, cups, shower, doors or glass shelves. Yes, I am clumsy but things just fell apart. If it wasn't broken, it would either be dirty or missing. Using my washing basket for the first time was pretty disgusting. When I took out my clothes, they were swiftly followed by a hundred or so bugs that were living in the bottom.As for the general Lack of equipment in the hose, there was no oven. tin opener, or sharp knives. It turns out making a vegetarian burger from scratch wasn't the best idea. I had a small microwave and a grill. I thought the general understanding was never to put metal in a microwave but I went on. Smoke soon started to appear. I'm not quite sure if it was the burger or the grill but as soon as I opened the door, the electricity cut out, I spent the fallowing 10 minutes in a dark, smoky room hunting for the power switch using the light from my mobile phone, which broke the week after and left me without a connection to the outer world.Luckily, I'm now borrowing a phone and my luck has returned. No more things have broken (probably because there is nothing left to break). I am learning how to adapt to life with limited, broken utensils (用具).(1)How did the author feel about her new life upon her arrival?A.She was nervous to kick off the new job.B.She was annoyed with the rude students.C.She was full of enthusiasm about her new life.D.She was satisfied with five alarm clocks in her room.(2)What was the trend in the following weeks?A.Her flat became dirtier.B.she developed disability.C.Things began to go wrong.D.More clothes needed mending.(3)What happened when the author was making a burger?A.She suffered a big fire.B.She made a terrible mistake.C.She was seriously injured.D.She broke her phone accidentally.(4)What can be inferred about the author from the end of the passage?A.She will go on living here.B.She will resign from her job.C.she will more into a new flat.D.She will buy new daily necessities.【答案】(1)C(2)C(3)B(4)A【解析】【分析】本文为一篇记叙文,作者去西班牙的一个漂亮小岛上做英语老师,虽然拥有自己的公寓,可是里边的生活用具很老旧,给作者的生活带来了诸多不便。

CWhat is your favorite color? Ask famous persons like Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johnson, and Bono (singer for the band U2), and maybe they will say “green.” That’s not because these artists like the color green best. Instead, they are interested in green fashion.Green fashion is about making (and wearing) clothes that are good for humans, animals, and the Earth. In the past, green fashion made people think of ugly clothes. But today, green fashion is different. It is about looking good and caring about the Earth and other people.

(英语)高考英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)含解析一、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.(4)The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that ________.A. medicine-making companies lack creativityB. prescriptions are got from the pastC. Western companies are more experiencedD. medicine-making companies lack driving force【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,街扫了传统中药的好处。
(英语)高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Durian(榴莲) is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因组) and find out,Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species.The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.(1)What give durian its unique smell?A. Onions nearby.B. Two gene copies.C. Rotten ingredients in it.D. Volatile sulfur compounds.(2)What does the underlin ed word “evolved” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Developed.B. Escaped.C. Predicted.D. Tolerated.(3)What can we infer from the text?A. No birds enjoy eating durian.B. Durian can be planted all over the world.C. Some of durian species can not be eaten.D. Durian has no relationship with the cacao tree.(4)What's the best title for the text?A. What's Durian?B. The Influence of the SmellC. The Distribution of DurianD. The Mystery of the Unpleasant Smell of Durian 【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)C(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,新加坡的研究者找出导致水果有难闻气味的原因就是水果中含有的挥发性硫化合物非常活跃,这种气味对于野外生存榴莲来说有利于吸引动物来吃这种水果,同时传播种子。
初三英语阅读表达试题答案及解析1.Cyril Dick’s house is neither a modem house nor a house of the future. It is 40 years old. There are more houses like that in the south of France. They are called “bubble houses”,and you can see why!Cyril Dick is a designer and he loves round things. He collects old records and clocks. He also collects round furniture. And now he has a completely round house.Everything in the “bubble house” is round. The centre of the house is one very big bubble. Th is is both the living room and dining room. There are round armchairs, a round table, and a big round rug (地挖)in front of a round fireplace. Around the living room are three small bubbles. One bubble is a kitchen with round shelves, another bubble is the garden room, and the third bubble is a music room. Upstairs there are two more bubbles—a bedroom and a bathroom. The doors and windows are also round, of course. The windows are like eyes. There aren’t any curtains (窗帘)in the house, because Cyril likes to see the garden all the time.Bubble houses are the idea of a Hungarian architect (建筑师),Antti Lovag.“A lot of modem houses are bad for us, especially tall buildings of flats,”says Lovag. ''Because round homes are more natural people feel happy in them.” Cyri l agrees with this. “Some people think my house is funny,,he says, “but for me, this is the perfect home.”(1)题判断正误(“T”表示正确,“F”表示错误);(2)题完成句子;(3)题简略回答问题;(4)题找出并写下第三段的主题句;(5)题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的大学英语四级阅读理解精选试题及答案解析,希望对正在关注的您有所帮助!I don't ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people askedconstantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men.I was never very good at telling thosestories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do fred interesting is the origin of the universe, theshape' of space-time and the nature of black holes.At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in theclassroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started tobother me. My every achievement--jobs, research papers, awards--was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain.versus (相对于)fight brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply toany and all provocations: I don't falk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burdenon every female scientist? After all, I don't study sociology or political theory.Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women's college in New York City. Recently, someone asked mehow many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer:45. I know some 9fmY students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. AndI don't dismiss those concerns. Still, I don't tell them "war" stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual oftheir physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of45 women driven by a love of science. And that's a sight worth talking about.61、Why doesn't the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?A.She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.B.She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.C.She is not good at telling stories of the kind.D.She finds space research more important.62、From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author's failures to ____A.the very fact that she is a womanB.her over-confidence as a female astrophysicistC.her involvement in gender politicsD.the burden she bears in a male-dominated society63、What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?ck of confidence in succeeding in space science.B.Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.C.People's stereotyped attitude towards female scientists.D.Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture.64、Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talkingabout her class?A.Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues.B.Her students' performance has brought back her confidence.C.Her female students can do just as well as male students.D.More female students are pursuing science than before.65、What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?A.Women students needn't have the concerns of her generation.B.Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.C.Women can balance a career in science and having a family.D.Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.答案解析:61-65:BACDC【大学英语四级阅读理解精选试题及答案解析】。
(英语)英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Robots make me nervous—especially the ones which seem to think for themselves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way. Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: "I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent.That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that, though, the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern."Well, maybe I don't have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There's a terrible thought!Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we've seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That's what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals,the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you.It's a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.I'm glad my machines at home are "dumb". All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room. Let's hope they don't create an appliance which wants to take over the world!(1)The author quoted Bill Gates' words in Paragraph 2 in order to make the text________.A. better-knownB. more persuasiveC. better-organizedD. more interesting(2)An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us because _______.A. it is much cleverer than usB. it would take over the worldC. it has the strong feeling of destroying usD. it would see us just as material(3)How does the author feel about Isaac Asimov's rules of robotics?A. OptimisticB. WorriedC. DisappointedD. Regretful(4)What does the text mainly focus on?A. The benefits of future robots.B. The new applications of robots.C. The concern for super intelligence.D. The popularity of robots in the future.【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)A(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了智能机器人可能给人类带来伤害以及美国作家Isaac Asimov为此制定了三条机器人规则,作者旨在引起人们对智能机器人的关注。
(英语)中考英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)一、阅读理解1.阅读理解Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).Don't argue (争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!(1)According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages(2)How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.(3)The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达(4)If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about(5)The best title for the passage is ___________.A.

(1)Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family.“I wish you a Happy New Year.” said Edward, as he was passing on. The man shook his head.“You are not from this country.” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像) to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.”When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.“I have bought no books”, said he. “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemedto be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.”“My dear boy,” said his father, “here are some books for you, more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift”“I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.”48.

高三英语阅读理解(社会文化)题20套(带答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解社会文化类1.阅读理解Some international languages are widely used formany purposes. Some minority languages will die out and some nations tend tokeep minority languages. I reckon that most common used internationallanguages ease our life quality and communication with different nationalities.On the other hand, we need to help improve minority languages.There are many languages in the entire world buttwo or three minority languages die out each year. Some countries try to savedying languages. For instance, Australian Government created a project to savethe language and culture of Maori who are Australian aborigines. And there areother projects to keep minority languages such as American Indian language.However, the worldwide job market usuallyrequires candidates who can speak English or other international languages.People who cannot speak lingua franca (共通语) could hardly be promotedat work. For example, some companies need an employee who can deal with foreigncompanies. So most people tend to learn at least one international languagethat helps them to find a better job.Therefore, world needs one common lingua francathat should be spoken in any country. Consequently, one common language shouldbe a required subject in every school. So anyone speaking one common languagecan travel without worries to any point of the world and trade their products. Peoplewill not be forced to learn many languages.In conclusion, we should help minority nationsto keep their languages for the cultural diversity. To ease the worldwidecommunication among nations, we should create a common language and providecourses of it. As a result, no one will face a language issue.(1)What does the underlined word “reckon” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Deny.B. Fear.C. Ignore.D. Think.(2)What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A.

英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析一、英语阅读(日常生活类)1.阅读理解When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing.(1)The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means .A. 吹风B. 给……上发条C. 摇上D. 利用空气……使……(2)The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .A. will be damaged much easier than the normal oneB. has a special handle to access the InternetC. is cheap and can run with extra powerD. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions(3)According to the passage,what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phonesA. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries.(4)Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .A. illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesB. tell us what high technology can help peopleC. show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesD. give an example of how to help developing countries(5)Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countriesA. We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves,not just throw money at the problem.B. We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.C. We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.D. We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)D(4)D(5)A【解析】【分析】主要讲了Nicholas Negroponte发明了一种便宜的手提电脑和循环使用手机来帮助发展中国家。
一、中考英语阅读理解汇编1.阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项。
What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow.When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality.Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic.They build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive.So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people.(1)What is the passage mainly about?A. Environmental protection.B. The world of tomorrow.C. Advantages of technology.(2)What do we learn from the passage?A. Some people think technology development may bring new problemsB. 3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap.C. The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular.(3)What is the correct structure of the passage? (P1=Paragraph1)A. B. C.(4)What does the underlined word "they" refer to?A. Car companies.B. 3D print.C. Body parts.(5)We can infer that the writer ________ about the future life with technology.A. doesn't careB. feels hopefulC. feels disappointed【答案】(1)B(2)A(3)A(4)B(5)B【解析】【分析】文章大意:本文主要介绍很多人对2050年对未来世界的两个预测。
第一篇:STEM原文出自《TIME》答案及解析56.B本题属于观点型细节题,问最近的一次国会报告提出了什么建议。
根据题干定位词latest congressional report 定位到文章第二段第一句。
Acknowledge意为“承认”,引出观点。
前半句非常简单,“最近的一次国会报告承认了技术训练的关键性”,后半句以but进行语义转折,意为“但是他们也认为关于人文学科和社会科学的研究都必须在任何等级的美国教育系统中作为核心部分”。
之后的both areas are critical to…都是在描述这两门学科对塑造人才的积极影响,可以略读。
再来看四个选项。
A. STEM在第一段有解释,分别由science, technology, engineering和maths的首字母组成,意为“科学”,“技术”,“工程学”和“数学”。
所以A选项的意思是“与STEM相关的学科可以帮助学生在信息社会找到工作”。
文章对于STEM的影响的描述只出现在第二段的最后一句话,但没有提及能帮助找工作,属于无中生有,排除。
B. 意思是“人文学科和STEM应该被给与相同的重要性”。
通过第二段第一句话but后面的内容可以确定B为正选。
选项唯一的难点是STEM在文中是以social science进行同义替换的方式出现的。
Should be given equal importance和原文的must remain central components of …对应。
C. “高等教育的文科能帮助学生丰富精神世界”。
C选项的干扰性同样来自于第二段的最后一句,但需要注意的是原文所说的spiritual enrichment是由reflection on the great ideas of mankind提供而非选项所指的liberal arts. 故C排除。
D. “高等教育应该适用于社会的实际需求”。
这个选项属于无中生有,比较容易排除。
57.D题目问学生选择专业时主要关心什么。
结合顺序原则可以大致定位到第三段,本段前两句话讲述了家长和学生们在为高等教育做出巨大投资之后所以担心的问题就是市场的变化可能会导致孩子们将来就业机会变少以及工资降低。
并且根据这个大背景提出了一个公认的解决的办法,也就是由题干中的major定位到的本段第三句,“Major in a subject designed to get you a job”seems the obvious answer to some,… 意思是“选择一个为给你找到工作而设计的专业是大部分人认可大答案”。
A.“对相关专业的兴趣。
”B.“课程的学术价值 C.“接受的教育的质量。
D.“找到工作的机会。
”原文的同义改写,锁定D答案。
58.A问作者如何评价所谓的“软”学科。
本题答案依然出自于第三段,57题定位句的后半句,即though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run.本句的disciplines与subjects都是“学科”的意思,所以这句话可以翻译成“尽管他们忽略一个事实,那就是人文学科中那些被描述成“软”学科的,通常能够能够促成将来的就业和成功”。
A.“他们会在将来的生活使学生受益。
”benefit与原文的lead to employment and success对应,in their future与原文的in the long run对应。
A为正选。
B.“他们能扩大学生的兴趣。
”C.“他们能提高学生的交流能力。
”D.“他们对于学生的健康成长至关重要。
”BCD均为无中生有,直接排除。
58.D问老板想找什么类型的应聘者。
答案出自第三段最后一句话,employers have expressed a preference for students who received a broadly-based education that has taught them how to write well, think carefully, research creatively, and communicate easily. 这句话非常直白地告诉我们老板所偏爱的员工是接受过broadly-based education的人,即“全方位教育”,所以与这句话有相同描述的选项即为正选。
A.“那些有强烈责任感的人。
”B.“那些能够解决实际问题的人。
C.“那些有可能成为有创新力的领导的人D.“那些接受过全方位教育的人。
”well-rounded是broadly-based的同义改写,所以D为正选。
60.C A.“寻找机会开发自己的潜力B.“试着参加各种实际课程C.“为不同的工作选择做好准备D.“采取灵活的方法来解决问题问作者给大学生提了什么建议。
全文只有四段话,前三段都已经用于解决之前的四道题,所以最后一题自然而然地定位到最后一段。
并且由第一句里的students should…就应该知道作者提出了某个建议,所以答案应该就出自这一句话。
原文提到“学生们不仅应该为他们的第一个工作做准备,还有为他们的第四甚至第五个工作做准备”,这句话完全对应C选项所说的内容。
第二篇:Energy Independence本文原文出处:2012年12月7号The Americans61、A 此题并非主旨题,按顺序原则及题干信息定位首段。
“If you think so, you’re not alone”表明作者持有同样想法,答案往“so”前面找——“Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?” have a nice ring to sth.表示“听起来不错,令人向往”的意思,选项A的attractive是其同义改写。
即使不了解短语,根据nice可判断正态度,答案选A。
62、D 由题干信息biofuels 定位在第四段落。
定位句本身出现but强调:“but most biofuels are a Faustian bargain, causing economic waste and environmental destruction. ”but后面的强调才是作者对于biofuels的真正想法——causing economic waste and environmental destruction。
选项中AB选项均为正态度,与原文不符直接排除。
原文中C选项为干扰选项,“可持续的能源供给”,文章未提及63 、C 按照阅读出题的“顺序原则”直接看到下一段(第五段)。
首句“Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. ”美国人不愿意自己产油,是63题题干信息当中“…America rely on heavily on oil imports”的同义改写。
根据“金三句原则”定位到定位句的下一句“the American people…decided that they value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. ” 相比从国外进口石油,美国人更看重环境质量,由此判断,答案选C——“keep environment intact 64、B 根据定位词oil trade以及顺序原则定位到文章倒数第二段。
首句“there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency…we benefit” , allow for 本意为考虑顾及到,这里可灵活的翻译为have,表示“有”的意思,可得知选B选项——It improves economic efficiency.。
65、A 问作者写作意图,即问全文主旨。
根据各段首句以及串联五个题干信息可得知,文章主要讨论“America”的“energy independence”,就可以直接排除BCD选项了。
为做题保险,还要进一步确认。
由文章末端的结尾“At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits…when we engage in energy trade around the world.” 可得知作者态度还是站在“oil imports”这一边的,因为可以得到“massive economic benefits”,所以作者还是在为“oil imports”而申辩的。
答案选A。
第三篇:Leadership Literature原文出自《BUSINESS INSIDER》61.BWhat does the author think the leaders he knows? A. Many of them are used to taking charge.(他们中的很多人习惯于掌控)B. Few of them are equal to their positions.(他们中很少有人配得上自己的职位)C. Many of them fail to fully develop their potential.(他们中的很多人没有完全开发自己的潜力)D. Few of them are familiar with leadership literature.(他们中很少有人熟悉领导手册)题目问作者是如何看待他所认识的领导者的。
通过顺序原则和定位词the leaders he knows可以找到文章第二段的第一句,I see way fewer truly effective leaders than I see people stuck in positions of leadership who are sadly incompetent and seriously misguided about their own abilities.注意这句话里的way并不是我们所熟知的名词含义“方法”,而是一个程度副词,类似于“相当地”。
这句话的大致意思就是“相比于那些真正高效的领导者,我见到更多的是处在领导者的位置却却总是被自己的无能给蒙蔽的人”。
