高考英语二轮复习新高考题型组合练(九)基础篇17阅读理解A、B篇+七选五+语法填空+应用文写作【阅读理解A篇】A(2022·北大附中期中)The first time my father and I ever went fishing became a family joke. We spent hours waiting for the fish. The sun was like fire. We were hot, sticky, and mad that the fish refused to try our night crawlers.Being only seven years old, I observed that perhaps the worms were the problem. Maybe the night crawlers only moved at night, and now they were just lying still there. Dad ignored my guessing.We began to pack up to leave. As we headed back to our truck, we heard tires roaring in the distance. Getting into our truck was tough. Having sat in the boiling sun for six hours, I found the seats were burning.I shifted from side to side in the seat so as not to cook my bottom. While driving out we sawa truck stuck in the mud. That explained the sound of roaring tires we’d heard.Being a nice guy, my dad helped pull the man from the mud. In return, this fellow gave Dad some fish for being a Good Samaritan. As Dad climbed back into our truck with a brown bag full of fish, we waved goodbye to our newfound friend.On the drive home, we agreed to take in the fish as if we had caught them. We were sure there was no way for Mom to know the difference. It was just a little white lie.We arrived home hot and sweaty, and went to shower while Mom prepared the fish.After showering, Dad and I met in the hall and sat down to enjoy freshly fried fish. We started eating happily and went on talking about how delicious the fish tasted.As we got up to do the dishes, Mom cleared her throat. “I just have one question for you two great fishermen,” she said. We looked at her expectantly, thinking we had another opportunity to delight her with our great fishing ability. With a big smile, Mom asked, “How was it that you two managed to not only clean your fish, but also freeze them before you got home?”1. Why didn’t the fish eat the night crawlers?A. The weather was too hot.B. The fish were not hungry.C. The reason was not clear.D. The night crawlers d idn’t move.2. Dad was called a Good Samaritan for ________.A. helping a strangerB. taking in the fishC. showing great strengthD. making friends with a stranger3. Mom smiled in the end because________A. she was pleased by the clean fishB. she was amused by the little white lieC. she did not need to deal with the messD. she was satisfied with their fishing ability【阅读理解B篇】B(2022·皖八一模)Recent studies suggest global food production is responsible for one-third of all planet-heating emissions, with the use of animals for meat accounting for twice the pollution of producing plant based foods. Forests that absorb carbon dioxide are cut down for raising animals while fertilisers used for growing their feed are rich in nitrogen, which can contribute to air and water pollution, climate change and ozone depletion. Livestock also produces large quantities of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.A Dutch city will become the first in the world to ban meat advertisements from public spaces in an effort to reduce consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.Haarlem, which lies to the west of Amsterdam and has a population of about 160,000, will pass the prohibition from 2024 after meat was added to a list of products thought to contribute to the climate crisis. Ads will not be allowed on Haarlem’s buses, shelters and screens in public spaces, prompting the complaint from the meat sector that local authority is “going too far in telling people what’s best for them”.Ziggy Klazes, who drafted the proposal banning meat advertising, said she had not known the city would be the world’s first to enforce such a policy when she proposed it. She told a radio channel: “We do not prohibit what people are baking and roasting in their own kitchen; if people wanted to continue eating meat, fine... We can’t tell people there’s a climate crisis and encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause.”The ban also covers holiday flights, fossil fuels and cars that run on fossil fuels. The ban is delayed until 2024 due to existing contracts with companies that sell the products. Research suggests that to meet the EU target of net zero emissions by 2050, meat consumption must be reduced to 24kg per person per year, compared with the current average of 82kg.4. Why does Haarlem intend to ban meat advertisements?A. To take the lead in cutting emission.B. To switch food to plant-based food.C. To stop advocating eating meat publicly.D. To contribute to the climate crisis.5. What does the phrase underlined in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. The government have taken too much control of people.B. The local authority is wrong about the best meat.C. Meat sector complains for harming their interests.D. Climate crisis has gone too far to be left untreated.6. What is Ziggy Klazes’s attitude to eating meat?A. Uncaring.B. Opposing.C. Guilty.D. Understanding.7. What can be inferred about the ban?A. It won’t benefits the EU market.B. It has a long way to go.C. It is a short-sighted decision.D. It can hardly meet the target.【七选五】(2022·浙江A9协作体联考)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。
专题限时集训(三) 概要写作训练1A(2021·浙江省名校联考)阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右内容概要。
In many societies,there is often greater acceptance of light skin than dark skin.Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty,intelligence and success.These beliefs can lead to social pressure even within the same racial or ethnic group,if some members are darker skinned than others.The result is that skin lightening has become a common activity across Africa,Asia and other areas of the world.More and more people with dark skin are using skinligh tening products,even if they may face health risks.They believe that having whiter skin will improve their lives.Many people think they will have a better chance of getting a job or marrying into a better family.Or they want to look like what their society generally considers beautiful.Some beauty care products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter.This process is also called bleaching(漂白).But some of the chemicals are extremely dangerous.One of the chemicals has been linked to kidney(肾) damage andsome kinds of cancer.It also causes low birth weight in babies when mothers use it during pregnancy.At first,bleaching products make the skin color lighter.But after longterm use they can cause problems.They can even make some skin darker.The chemicals in the products block and break down the natural process that gives color to skin.The skin loses its natural barrier to protect against sunlight.Then the skin can become thick and ually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem,but this only makes it worse.Doctor Ly,who works in a hospital,says the chemicals are now more dangerous because they are stronger.Some cases have resulted in blackened fingernails,infections and permanent skin damage.And these are not the only risks.Experts say some people who change their skin color suffer emotional damage.They feel regret and sadness.They feel that instead of risking their health,they should have learned to love and accept their skin color as it was.【写作指导】本文属于说明文,全文使用一般现在时。
专题二概要写作概要写作作为浙江英语高考新题型,就是对所读过的文章简要概括,写出文章的中心大意,也称之为摘要。
写概要时,读者要把文章的具体信息用一些具有概括功能的词和句表述出来,而不是抄袭文章的原句,更不是把细节性信息作为中心,而是要通过对文章中的单词、词组和句子进行合理转换,对文章的具体信息进行概括,再用合适的语言表述出来。
这一题型主要考查学生对文章主旨大意的概括和准确获取关键词的能力,同时考查学生用简洁的语言概括文章重要信息的能力以及对文章整体结构的把握能力。
因此,概要写作是基于阅读理解和书面表达的,是二者的有机结合体,是阅读理解和书面表达的沟通桥梁。
[选材特点]1.所需阅读的短文词数在350以内;2.所选材料体裁没有限制,以说明文、议论文和记叙文为主。
[评分参考]阅卷时主要考虑以下内容:1.对原文要点的理解和呈现情况;2.应用语法结构和词汇的准确性;3.上下文的连贯性;4.对各要点表达的独立性情况。
注意:理解准确,涵盖全部要求,完全使用自己的语言,准确使用相应的语法结构和词汇,得分相应比较高。
相反,如果概要写作部分出现两句以上整句抄自原文现象,得分档次将会大大降低;所写内容与所提供内容无关不得分。
[写作步骤]1.仔细阅读原文,掌握文章的主旨大意。
在阅读过程中,要注意搜寻要点,如议论文中的论点、论据,记叙文中的发展、高潮、结局等。
2.列出文章的要点和各段落的主题句。
可以用下划线标记,也可做笔记,将要点逐一列出。
3.分析原文的内容和结构,将内容分项扼要表述,并注意在结构上的顺序。
4.写出初稿。
根据列出的要点和对原文的理解,用自己的语言组织内容,尝试写出概要。
5.修改、定稿。
认真阅读初稿,对照原文,检查是否漏掉重要内容。
检查并确定拼写、语法、标点正确无误。
检查是否符合规定的词数要求。
[方法技巧]在掌握一定的解题步骤后,为了顺利完成概要写作,学生在写作时还需要注意以下方法技巧。
1.要点齐全。
概要写作主要考查学生概括文章主旨大意和准确获取关键信息的能力,关键信息获取不准确往往导致所写概要要点不齐全。

Noticing I was not in a good mood he asked,“What was wrong?” I told him tearfully,“That dirty rooster,who was now gentle,in my grandfather's presence,came pecking(啄食) after me and all the hens started cackling(咯咯叫),which scared me,and I ran into the next hen house for safety.” He took me by my hand and we walked right by the now quiet dirty rooster and comfortable hens.We sat under the apple tree,and he related the following story.“Did you notice how that rooster and hens behaved when I came in? Totally different than when you first came in.” I shouted,“The rooster and hens seemed to come at me.” My grandfather then said,“That's a new rooster the neighbor gave me.All your life you are going to come across people who will act like that rooster and hens.Only in different ways! It's natural for that rooster to protect his house and his hens.The rooster is the leader and the hens are followers.Same with people! It doesn't matter whether they are men or women.There will always be people who will try to lead your life and if you let them,you will become like the hens.” “But to be the leader,you have to first be able to lead your own life and be the rooster of your actions.You can be like the rooster leading the hens.Most of us in life are followers,like the hens and some stay hidden in their own chicken houses,like you did.” 注意: 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语; 3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好; 4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: “That doesn't mean that the rooster in us is bad or dirty,like the one you just experienced.
” Paragraph 2: Then he did the smartest move.
【写作指导】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了几年前祖父让“我”去鸡窝拾鸡蛋的经历。起初“我”害怕公鸡和一群母鸡的攻击,但祖父来时所有的鸡就变得安静了。后来祖父和“我”讲,这些鸡和生活中的人一样,假如“我”不做领头的公鸡,那么就做像母鸡一样的跟随者。所以,续写文章的第一段要沿着这个脉络说明“我”见到的公鸡并不坏,这与人的本性一致,学生要分析祖父来到鸡窝后鸡为何变得安静,以此启发“我”思考进鸡窝拾鸡蛋所采用的方法;续写文章的第二段要描写祖父教给“我”方法之后,鼓励“我”采用这个方法,“我”最终克服了害怕的心理,成功地拾到鸡蛋。续写文章前学生一定要理清文章脉络,沿着作者的思路进行续写,并使用文章中画线词汇中的5个以上词汇,与前文呼应。同时,要使用连词或副词,使文章衔接顺畅。续写文章要采用一般过去时,以第一人称进行书写。 【参考范文】 “That doesn't mean that the rooster in us is bad or dirty,like the one you just experienced.That's just the way some people naturally are,at least in their own minds.But did you notice the respect and the way he quieted down when I came in? He saw me in his sense as a bigger, stronger and probably smarter rooster than he is,which I am and so are you.But you didn't think or believe it strong enough for him to feel.Next time before you walk in,believe that the rooster is just a tiny,sweet chick,and those hens are laying beautiful golden eggs that we can have for breakfast.” Then he did the smartest move.He took me back to the chicken house,walked away and said,“Now go in and pick those golden eggs for breakfast.” Strangely,even while I was still scared,I bravely walked into the chicken house,ignored the rooster and picked up our golden eggs for breakfast. Ⅲ.概要写作 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 When her five daughters were young,Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity(团结).To show this,she held up one chopstick,representing one person.Then she easily broke it into two pieces.Next, she tied several chopsticks together,representing a family.She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks.This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up. Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California.However,when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975,they didn't have much money.They moved their family to San Francisco.There they joined Danny's mother,Diana,who owned a small Italian sandwich shop.Soon afterwards,Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant.The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young.However,Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard. Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves,but one by one,the daughters returned to work in the family business.They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles.Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other,they worked together to make the business successful.Daughter Elizabeth explains,“Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity,and to have unity we must have peace.Without the strength of the family,there is no business.” Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996,with three generations of Ans working together.Although they began with a small restaurant,they had big dreams,and they worked together.Now they are a big success.
