高考英语听力指导 1.听力的最佳状态是“无瑕疵听力”，即完全听清听懂每一句话，做对每一题。但是因为题目难度、 自身水平、做题时的专注度及解题心态策略等主客观原因，做不到无瑕疵听力也是正常。此时，理想的状态是听懂材料的语境大意，根据题干设问和选项特点抓住几个关键词，合理地整合信息与猜测，做对题目，以听力尽量不失分为目标。 2.解题步骤： （1）听力开始前认真审题（包括题干与选项），预判题目类型、话题和关注点，圈划关键词（如主语、宾语、时间/地点状语等）； （2）选项文字很长信息量大，选项之间差别大时，尤其勾出题号提醒自己小心，最好审两遍题，做足准备；选项中含有专有名词，尤其关注，若是自己不熟的词，心里默念，以免在听力中出现时，无法及时反应； （4）专心听，不一心两用，平时训练耐心和注意力长度；防止走神，用笔圈划题目关键词甚至听写材料关键词，所谓眼到手到心到；上一题没听清时，采取及时放弃原则，给下一题留出审题时间； （5）做完对答案，看听力原文，划出错题信息源，总结错误原因（单词发音不熟，没听懂大意，没听出言外之意，不了解固定表达含义等），出声读原文，或有条件再听两遍做到无瑕疵听力，若有老师帮助积累常见表达，总结高频考察词更佳。 3.听力题型分类： 根据【题干特点】可分为：（1）细节题（5W+1H，包括数字计算题），（2）推断题（probable, what will sb do, what does sb mean等），（3）主旨大意题(mainly talk about)等； 根据【选项特点】可分为：（1）直接信息题（正确选项会直接听到关键词，可能会做同义改写），（2）信息匹配题（三个选项都会直接听到，重在匹配问题与答案）（3）推理归纳题（三个选项都不会直接听到，基于理解大意和抓准关键词，进行推断或归纳）。 4.正确选项特点在于同义改写，干扰项的命题套路包括：无中生有，真假混合，张冠李戴，曲解词 义等，同阅读理解干扰项套路类似。 听力场景关键词与常见表达 高考考试的对话内容场景基本上都是考生所熟悉的，有校园、生活、工作、各种社交场所。了解一些场景下的常见表达，抓住关键词对解题很有帮助。对这些常用词汇和短语不仅要知道其本身的意思，还要知道它们的同义改写表达，这是因为现在听力试题一般不会在选项中出现对话中的原词和词组。 1.restaurant餐馆 2.cafeteria 自助餐厅 3.buffet 自助餐 4.canteen 5.dining hall 食堂，餐厅 6.cafe咖啡屋 7.snack bar 小吃街、大排挡 8.waiter/waitress 男/女服务 生 9.order 点菜 10.serve 上菜 11.menu 菜单 12.bill 账单13.tip 小费 14.change 零钱 15.treat 请客 16.knife刀 17.fork叉； 18.chopsticks筷子 19.spoon勺子 20.plate碟子 21.tray 托盘 22.appetizer 开胃菜 23.dessert甜品 24.soup 汤 25.main course主菜 26.steak 牛排 27.cheese奶酪 28.sandwich 三明治 29.hamburger 汉堡包 30.French fries 炸薯条 31.spaghetti 意大利面 32.pasta 通心粉 33.pizza 披萨 34.bacon 培根 35.chicken鸡肉 36.beef牛肉 37.pork猪肉 38.drink饮料 39.dressing 调味酱 40.pepper胡椒 41.ketchup 番茄酱 42.delicious/yummy/tasty 可
(A ) A coal-fire stove(炉灶)provided heating for Zhao Yaoqin's courtyard bungalow in a Beijing hutong all her life. This winter, however, the stove has disappeared from the 66-year-old's life, and an electric radiator takes its place beside her bed, a product of a government to use clean energy in the national capital. With the Olympics to be staged in Beijing next August, the city is determined to eliminate the use of coal within the Third Ring Road that circles the city before the Games. The project to replace the stoves with electric radiators has been part of the effort. When the city's four-month long heating season started on Thursday, coal-fired stoves, known as a big source of pollution in the big city, have disappeared from some 20,000 local households like Zhao's bungalow in the inner city "hutong" -- traditional alleyways(小巷) that date back centuries. "We used to boil water or bake bread on the stove," said Zhao, sounding sentimental(伤感) to the disappearance of the coal furnace from her life. Late in the 1990s, Beijing's air quality monitoring office found that the emissions(排放) of sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide from the hutong areas have been higher than the city's average in winter, mainly because of the coal stoves. With the project to switch to clean energy for heating launched in 1999, the emission level of the two poisonous substances decreased by 42 percent and 44 percent, respectively, this year from 2001 levels. Zhao said the fee for electrical heat for the entire winter was usually around 2,400 yuan (US$323) per household. With the government's subsidy（补贴）, however, she only needed to pay about 500 yuan, nearly the same price as that for coal. 1．Zhao Yaoqin’ example in the passage is to tell us that_______. A.people in Beijing using electric radiators to welcome the Olympics. B.people in Beijing are doing something to protect the environment. C.hutongs in Beijing have a long history. D.People pay more money to use electric radiators than before. 2. The underlined word eliminate probably means________ A. cut down. B. increase. C. get rid of. D. replace 3. We can infer from the passage that ______ A. Zhao Yaoqin has a strong and deep emotion with the use of coal-fire stove. B. The government will pay most of the fee. C. The air of Beijing has been badly polluted since 1990s. D. The people do not use coal eight months in one year. 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The clean air is important when the Olympics Games is held in Beijing. B. The success of the Olympics Games depends on the clean air. C. The government spare no effort to make the environment better. D. The emission level of poisonous substances will be low in 2008.

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

2018届高考英语阅读理解专题练习 (1) （一） Health experts have long worried about the increasing rate of obesity in kids. It’s an important concern: Being weight or obese during childhood can lead to serious problems normally seen in adults, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Poor diets and a lack of exercise are usually the causes. But would you ever have imagined there might be a connection between the bacteria that lived in your guts （内脏）when you were a baby and the chance that you would become overweight? Scientists in Finland recently found just such a link. In a recent study, they showed that overweight kids had different species of bacteria living in their guts. You probably think of bacteria only as germs that can make you sick. While it’s true that some bacteria can make people ill, your body actually depends on some types of bacteria to help you digest food and extract nutrients from it. These “good” bacteria live in your guts, where they process the food you eat. Human babies get these bacterial helpers from their moms. When a baby is born, some of the bacteria in the mother move into the baby’s body. Growing babies get additional “good” bacteria from the milk their mothers produce. And it turns out the bacteria might play an important role in regulating weight just six years later. So how could these bacteria affect weight? The researchers still haven’t tested that question, but future tests might lead to an answer. 1. The “link” in Paragraph 2 refers to the relationship between _______. A. bacteria and the chance of being overweight B. obesity and diabetes C. diets and the chance of being overweight D. bacteria and exercise 2. Which of the following is NOT the function of “good” bacteria? A. Helping to digest food. B. Helping to take nutrients from food. C. Helping to regulate weight. D. Making a person ill. 3. The purpose of writing this passage is to _______. A. introduce the role of bacteria in children’s weight B. analyze the influence of obesity on kids

I watched from a distance as the homeless man quarreled with those who did not leave money for him – the majority. I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter. “I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story.” He laughed, “You’ll give me a quarter for my story?” I lay the qu front of him and corrected myself –“Nah, here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.” I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment I saw a glimmer of reflection. I sat down next to him and waited. I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the “I was in the army,” he said. “ carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. enemy from the distance.” I listened He wore dirty old torn clothes and smelled like a dead rat left in a mouse trap. He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed. When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set out to fight in Iraq. It wasn’t long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth. He became disillusioned with the killings, which he felt were of innocent people. “I was a sniper but I never really killed anyone,” he said. “One day I had to do it. They asked me to shoot this lady from the distance. I saw kids near that lady and my hands were on the trigger (扳机). Man, I was tearing up ... I couldn’t do it. She wasn’t doing anything to anyone and she was with the kids—I couldn’t see through my tears. It just didn’t make any sense to me.” The story goes on as he describes eventually being put into prison for 180 days for refusing to follow orders. He told me how he was black listed so that he couldn’t get a job. All the rights we take for granted were taken away from him. Why? Here was a man who was being punished—and for what? For refusing to kill the lady? For being a hero? “I have no regrets,” anyone the homeless man said. “I may be homeless now, but I never killed that lady. I never killed He in the army. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t go there to do that. I went there to save people.” okay. But I wouldn’t be able to live with continued, “I can live with being homeless—that’s killing innocent people.” On that lonely Friday night, I met a hero. It just never occurred to me that a hero could be a smelly old man left on streets. 1. It can be learned from the passage that the homeless man_______. （） A. never killed animals B. had a strong respect for life C. deserved the punishment he received D. felt guilty about disobeying the order
