“观点态度”类阅读理解题是一种“评价类”推理判断类题目，需要读者从字里行间揣摩作者或文章中主人公等的观点态度，即理解作者的意图、观点和态度。

我印象中该考点类题目在每套题中都会有一个。

具体出现频率是什么？在什么篇目和文体中出现？都考查了什么样的观点态度？搞懂这些问题，有助于我们日常命题的时候进行考点的选择。

为此，笔者对过去5年高考英语全国卷中的该类考点的题目(正确答案和干扰项选项都是形容词)进行了统计分析，有了如下的发现。

【文章案例较多，没耐心的读者可以直接划到文末看结论哦】1. 出现频率从上表可知，该类题出现频率很高，除了2022年的甲乙卷和新高考I卷，以及2019年的全国II卷，近五年的19套题的BCD篇阅读里，有15套都有涉及，部分套题中还出现过2次。

2. 考点形式为了从形式上区分考点形式，笔者将题干中含有the author一词的题干划分到作者视角，没有的则分到读者视角。

这种分法严格说是不科学的，因为都是我们读者在对文本中的人、事、物进行判断。

不过，为了方便从形式上区分题干的表述差异，才勉强进行该分类。

2.1 作者视角作者视角的评价类题目，题干中一般会出现the author，要求读者分析作者对某事，某物或某人的观点态度。

此外，还会出现attitude, think of，find等表述。

2.1.1 评价物（作者认为某物怎什么样?）What is the author's attitude toward Navajas' studies? （2023-I-D-4）原文： Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous. 【Approving】What does the author think of Weiner's book?（2023-甲-C-4）原文： He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. ...The Socrates Express is afun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. ... 【Humorous and straightforward】How does the author find his photos taken at Devil's Lake? （2023-乙-B-4）原文：Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.【Satisfying】What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club? （2021-甲-D-1）原文：In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club - women, or people of a different color or belief -they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. 【unfair】Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking? (2020-I-C-4）原文：As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of suc h injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, shesays. It takes some practice. 【Objective】Which word best describes the author's relationship with books as a child? （2020-II-D-1）原文：I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember.I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived outadventures through the books I checked out from the library.【Inseparable】2..2 评价事（作者认为某现象怎什么样?）What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?（2021-I-D-3）原文：Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotionsand how they serve people adaptively in everyday life. 【Favorable】What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home? （2021-II-B-3）原文：As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned theroom upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.【Tiring】2.1.3 评价人（作者认为某人是什么样的人?）What does the author think of himself? （2022-II-B-3）原文：Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I editvideo and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.【Digitally competent】2.2 读者视角读者视角的评价类题目，题干中一般不会出现the author，更强调读者对人、事和物的分析和评价。

2021届高考英语阅读理解题型精准练——观点态度题It would not be an overstatement to say that salt is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind. Just imagine how tasteless our food would have been had salt not been discovered. Apart, from adding flavor to our food, it is also an essential ingredient for the health of both man as well as animals, provided it is taken in the right quantities. Salt is also used by the food processing and meat packing industries as a seasoning or preservative ingredient.Salt has always been helpful in the building of communities and societies, as man normally built his settlements around the sources of salt. At one point of time, salt was also used as a currency. Today, there are many countries around the world that are working hard to extract (提炼)salt so that we can enjoy our food to the fullest. Some of these are producing enough salt to satisfy the requirement of the entire world, while others are producing just enough to support their own people.According to the British Geological Survey, China is the top salt producer in the world. The United States of America occupies the second position, and India, finishing a distant third. Other countries that, made it among the top ten salt producing nations' list were Canada, Australia, Germany, Mexico, Chile, France and the Netherlands.Countries that produced more than 1 million tons of salt in 2017 included Peru, Bangladesh, Thailand, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Romania, Egypt, Poland, and the United Kingdom, to name a few. Ranked at the bottom of the list were the African nations of Mauritania and Djibouti.So, the next time you take your meal and add a pinch of salt to make it more delicious, do share a thought for the numerous salt workers around the world due to whom our food tastes so perfect.4.What is the author's attitude toward those who produce salt?A.Regretful.B.Grateful.C.Doubtful.D.Faithful.Amazon wants to be able to answer the troublesome question: Did I leave the stove on? The latest home security tool by Ring,a home security company owned by Amazon, is the AlwaysHome Cam, a flying drone that can help homeowners check their apartments whenever they7re not in.The Always Home Cam is a lightweight, self-docking, flying indoor camera that can take a predetermined path set by its user.When used with Ring's proprietary home alarms systems like the Ring Alarm, the Always Home Cam will take flight and check the house for any potential disturbances The drone unit can also be controlled remotely and manually. After a Flight, the Always Home Cam automatically returns to its station itself for charging. It only records while in flight, too.You can ask it to fly to check the stove while you're out. or to see if you left the windows open. If s also great for checking on naughty pets. The drone has obstacle avoidance technology built-in, and hidden propellers(螺旋奖) to mitigate any damage to household furnishing in the event of a collision. Amazon says the drone will automatically take flight if there's movement in the house to show you what’s going on.The device was one of several that Amazon unveiled Thursday as part of its annual appliance event. Due to the pandemic, this year's version was held online instead of at Amazon's Seattle headquarters.The indoor flying camera, called the Ring Always Home Cam, still needs approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, but Amazon said it expects to sell it next year at $250. It will also launch a camera and alarm system for cars next year under its Ring brand.Critics have raised privacy concerns about Ring, which is best known for its doorbell cameras, citing the company^ close relationship with police departments. Amazon said the drone only records when it is in the air, and that it makes a sound when it flies so any people in the house knows its recording.4.What’s the author’s attitude towards t he Always Home Cam?A.favorableB.criticalC.doubtfulD.objectiveThe eastern Siberian landscape is not normally like hell. In winter it is blanketed in snow:in summer, its forests are lush(苍翠繁茂的). This year, however, the region is on fire, as are large parts of the Arctic Circle.The fires began in June, caused by an extremely hot and dry early summer. It was the hottest June on record globally. In the regions that are burning, temperatures peaked at 8-10℃warmer than the average from 1981 to 2010. This has dried out the landscape, producing tinder(易燃物)for natural forest fires.So far, hundreds of above-ground fires have been recorded by satellites in the Arctic and sub-Arctic. It is estimated that fires within the Arctic Circle have produced more than 100m tonnes of carbon dioxide in a year. That is a lot. But burnt vegetation can regrow within a decade, and in doing so reabsorbs much of the released carbon dioxide. It is what is happening below ground that most worries ecologists and climate scientists.Global warming will melt Arctic permafrost(永久冻土), releasing large amounts of stored greenhouse gases. But if fires in the region become more common, that could have even bigger consequences. Wildfires will release much faster and bigger amounts of carbon, rather than melting permafrost. The fires also produce black carbon which, if dropped on the Arctic sea ice by favourable winds, will darken its surface, making it more likely to absorb sunlight and melt. This decreases the reflectivity of the region and further increases Arctic warming.Smog from the fires is blanketing much of Siberia. "What is scary about the Arctic fires is that they are driven by climate change, and there's very little you can do," says Thomas Smith. Few natural fires this big have ever been successfully managed. The only way to deal with the spread of these fires is to slow the rate of global warming. Don't hold your breath.4.Which word best describes the author's attitude toward the Arctic fires?A.Objective.B.Indifferent.C.Optimistic.D.Worried.If you’ve ever passed the cockpit(驾驶舱)while boarding a flight and tried to pick up bits from your pilots’ conversation, you probably didn’t understand much of them. Do they want to keep something in the dark? For terms like "niner" to "Zulu", pilot-speak may sound like all Greek to you. But in this way, what happens to pilots can be expressed clearly and briefly. That’s why it is well-recognized in this industry.Pan-pan. Airline passengers likely won’t ever hear their pilot use this term, which is reserved for communication with air traffic controllers. When pilots notice something unusual with their aircraft that stops short of an immediate emergency, they use "pan-pan". For example, ifone of a multi-engine aircraft’s engine has failed, pilots might say "pan-pan" to get controllers’ attention and request an emergency landing.George is flying the plane now. There is a "George" on nearly every commercial aircraft. Pilots often allocate George to command the plane when it reaches cruising(巡航)altitude or when they've flown for more than 10 hours, when they’re required to rest according to rules fortwo-pilot planes.We’re flying through an air pocket. "Air pocket" is a more acceptable expression for the word "turbulence", a sudden and violent changes in the direction that air is moving in. This term might ease the sudden and strong impact on ears and causes less panic among passengers in an emergency.There are 155 souls on board. The number of "souls" on an aircraft refers to the total living bodies on the plane, including every passenger, pilot, flight attendant and crew member. Pilots report the number of "souls" only when declaring an emergency to avoid confusion between the number of passengers and the number of the crew."A lot of the ways we say things to be meaningful to other pilots is kind of monkey-see, monkey-do," says Ferdi Mack, senior manager at the Pilot Information Center. "But the most important part of the challenge is that a smooth flight can be thus ensured."4.How does Ferdi feel about pilot-speak?A.Doubtful.B.Ridiculous.C.Objective.D.Favorable.I didn’t understand the irony(讽刺) immediately. Only on the way home. The book I had just returned to our local library was called “Unquiet Landscape,” by Christopher Neve. He widened my view.But the ironic word for me in his book’s title, I realized, was “unquiet”. It applied not to the landscape but to our local library. I have thus visited it again since then,and my conclusion is much the same:This is no longer a quiet place.On both of my visits the library was packed with small children and they were doing rather alot of small-children things, such as dancing in circles, singing, jumping up and down, and so on. Various adults sitting around were clearly not discouraging them rather the opposite.I wasn't exactly shocked. But I have to say that my understanding of library behavior and purpose changed somewhat. All my upbringing(教养)about libraries was that they were sanctums(圣地),places of escape in a noisy world. If one so much as cleared one’ s throat in a library,one was likely to be stared at by the librarians——not to mention tolerating the disapproval of fellow library users enjoying their post—lunch nap(午睡).The first school I attended had a library that was entirely conventional in function. In it, we boys did (or were expected to do) one thing only read. The second school I attended allowed one to write as well as read in the library.Since those days,my attitude,I hope,has changed a little. I've come across some very pleasant librarians eager to help with my projects. Some of them are surprisingly generous with providing access to their books,which are as dear to them as their own children. And the silence rulehas,over the years,become much less strict. Even quite loud laughter,I find,is not always frowned upon.4.What's the author's attitude to librarians nowadays?A.Positive.B.Disappointed.C.Unconcerned.D.Worried.Over the years, the small Vermilion Heritage Museum in Alberta, Canada, tried everything in its power to unlock an old safe (保险箱) in its basement. The museum hired blacksmiths, called the manufacturer, contacted former employees and challenged visitors to play around with the safe — but nobody had any success.Until last month, when a visitor to Vermilion cracked the code (密码) on his first try, much to the astonishment of everyone present.Stephen Mills, from Fort McMurray, Alberta, was on a family camping trip with his wife and his two children. After giving the Mills' family a tour of the whole building, the museum volunteer showed them the objects in the basement, including the mysterious safe.It originally had belonged to the town's Brunswick Hotel which opened in the early 1900s. When the hotel shut down in the late 1970s, the safe was locked — and so it had remained."It was like a time capsule, nobody had any idea of what was in there," said Mills.Like other visitors, Mills was offered the chance to take a crack at opening it."Just like you see in the movies," he said, "I looked at the dial and I saw the numbers were running from 0 to 60. So I thought in my head 20-40-60. I did a particular combination which is three on the right, two on the left, and one on the right, tried the handle ... and it opened!""It was a 100 guess," he said. "I was fully amazed. I stepped back a little bit and thought,'I'm buying a lottery ticket tonight!'"The contents of the safe proved a little disappointing."Unfortunately, there wasn't what we thought was there," Mills said. "Some papers, old checks, a waitress' notebook, and a receipt from the hotel. That's it."Nonetheless, Mills said everyone was excited about the lucky guess. "My children kept screaming 'We beat the code! We beat the code!'" he said.3.What did Mills think of the contents of the safe?A.Exciting.B.Unexpected.C.Impressive.D.Valuable.I wanted a change of pace, a break from routine. The past few years found me working long hours at my marketing job while my husband, Steven, put in equally full days as a physics tutor. We were both burned out from the constant boredom.Vacation experiences at first glance seem a little difficult for us. How do you find comfort in an ever-changing environment? And I, someone who enjoys more planned fun, had to adapt.But I was surprised at how easily I was able to adapt to a new mode of operation, a more relaxed version of myself who wasn't worried where we'd park and sleep each night. The fact that we both became so accustomed to sleeping in the back of a cargo van is another surprise we experienced on this journey. The van was our main transportation and, with a full-size bed in the back, it also provided us with a bit of comfort that made us continue. At first, every sound outside was foreign, and we both took longer to fall-and stay-asleep. But, after a couple of weeks into van life, we let the sounds fade into soft background music.Over the course of our seven-month trip, one of our big goals was to come away from each park with one spectacular image. That shared goal placed us on the same team: It brought us together, even more than before, gave us more to talk about, and encouraged us to motivate each other along the way.By this point, you're probably wondering how we paid for all of this, or maybe you're assuming we come from wealthy backgrounds. The truth is, we actually managed this entire adventure on a middle-class budget. Steven did part-time remote work about 10 hours per week for his employer from the road. I ended up finding some temporary jobs through the trip. We also continued our photography business, setting up an online shop to sell our landscapes.We only visited some parks in the 48 states. And the experience would still be worth every penny. It is really a chance to lose and find ourselves in our nation's park lands.2.What did the author think of the vacation before the journey?A.excitingB.helpfulC.doubtfulD.boring答案以及解析答案：4.B解析：4.观点态度题。

高考英语阅读理解专题训练ATurning the lights out or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight，according to scientists.The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories.It also triggers(引发) a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may go bad.An experiment by the University of Konstanz，in Germany，found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full，compared to those who could see.They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate.Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had.Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full.In the experiment,50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food.All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment.They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes.Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice-cream weighed，while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten.On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g.However，the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers.They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated lower than those who could see.“The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group.Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite.Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience.”Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste.While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark state that it triggers other senses，in fact eating in the darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.1．With the lights out，diners eat less partly because .A．they want to finish their meals quicklyB．they trust their feelings more than everC．they focus more on fun than the caloriesD．they worry about the quality of the food答案 D解析细节理解题。

英语阅读中作文作者态度的问题Determining the Author's Attitude in English Reading.Reading comprehension is a crucial skill in English language learning, and understanding the author's attitude towards the subject matter is often a key component. The author's attitude can be expressed explicitly through words and phrases, or it can be implied through tone, choice of examples, and other subtleties. In this article, we will explore how to identify and interpret the author's attitude in English reading.First, it is important to note that the author's attitude is not always explicitly stated. Sometimes, it is implied through the language used and the choices made by the author. For example, the author may use sarcastic or ironic language to express a negative attitude, or they may choose examples that reflect a positive or negative bias.One way to identify the author's attitude is to payattention to the vocabulary and language used. The author's choice of words can often give clues to their attitude. For example, if the author uses negative words or phrases, they may be expressing a negative attitude. Conversely, if they use positive language, they may be expressing a positive attitude.Additionally, the tone of the article can also provide insights into the author's attitude. The tone can be formal, informal, serious, light-hearted, etc. The tone chosen by the author often reflects their attitude towards thesubject matter. For example, a serious tone may indicate a more serious or concerned attitude, while a light-hearted tone may suggest a more casual or optimistic approach.Another way to determine the author's attitude is to analyze the choice of examples and illustrations. Theauthor may choose examples that support their argument or illustrate their point in a particular way. By analyzing these examples, readers can gain insights into the author's attitude towards the subject matter.It is also important to consider the purpose of the article when analyzing the author's attitude. The purpose of the article can often be inferred from the title, introduction, and conclusion. For example, if the purpose of the article is to inform or educate, the author may adopt a more objective and neutral attitude. On the other hand, if the purpose is to persuade or argue, the author may express a more strongly held opinion or attitude.In summary, understanding the author's attitude in English reading requires close attention to language, tone, choice of examples, and the purpose of the article. By analyzing these elements, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the author's perspective and the message they are trying to convey. This understanding can enhance comprehension and appreciation of the text, making the reading experience more rewarding and meaningful.。

英语阅读题的情感态度题在英语阅读理解题中，情感态度题是考察学生对文章作者情感态度的理解和把握。

高中英语阅读理解专题训练阅读中的观点态度题I、题型介绍观点态度问题（attitude questions）是指测试作者的观点和态度（author’s opinion or attitude）以及文章基调（tone）的题。

这类问题无法直接从文章中找到答案，必须从字里行间对作者的用词、口气等进行认真的揣摩，才能把握关键所在。

这类问题是所有问题中最难回答的。

价值词（value words）所谓观点、我们无法客观地证明它是对还是错。

观点、态度通常表达个人对某个话题、行为、事件的信念、感觉或判断。

作者、说话者的观点、态度的主要标记是价值词。

每一个价值词表达一种价值判断，因此是非常主观的，也最能表明观点、态度和立场。

价值词以形容词为主, 加上部分副词和动词。

例如：褒义与贬义作者的观点、态度还可以从词的内涵上判断。

任何一种语言的词汇都有褒贬之分，英语也不例外。

如果作者对某个话题、事件、行为持肯定的态度或观点，那么他肯定使用褒义词；相反，则用贬义词。

例如：社论、政治性演讲、政论文、评论性文章（如影评、书评等）和辩论文，作者、说话者的观点是首要的，他们设法说服读者接受文中阐述的观点。

这类文章的主观性极强。

II.态度题相关词汇（见附表）III.基调(tone)文章的基调（或语气）同样揭示作者的观点、态度。

作者通过特定的措词和细节来表达某种基调，如愤怒、同情、希望、伤心、悲哀、客观、讽刺、担忧、关心等。

常用来描述基调的形容词如下：IV.提问方式：1．观点态度：What is the author’s (overall) attitude toward ______?The author’s opinion of ____could best be described as ____In the author’s opinion, the policy /proposal is _____.Which of the following recommendations would the author MOST likely support?Which of the following statements would the author be LEAST /MOST likely to agree with? Which of the following statements indicates the author’s attitude toward ____?2.文章基调：The tone of this passage could best be described as ____?Which of the following words best describe the author’s tone?V、观点态度题练习：Passage 1:Students headed for college in the fall are already finding that there are lots to learn about their impending（即将发生的） new life. Examine the course catalog（目录）: check. Read the student guide to nightlife: check. Fully understand the campus（校园） court system.It’s safe to say most students don’t give a whole lot of thought to the ruling of disputes（争议）on campus. They steer through college getting their coursework done, abiding by（遵守） basic rules, and not being accused of （被指控）causing harm. But for those who do find themselves on the wrong side of the campus bench, the experience can be a surprising and sometimes hurting education.Last week, Harvard University announced（宣布） it was changing its campus judicial system in an effort to speed up decisions. Many of those had been dragging on for months at a stretch. That much sounds like the court system familiar to those outside the university. But universities areeducational institutions（机构）, after all, not courts. Still, parents whose child faces a serious accusation of, say, sexual misconduct or theft might move to hire a lawyer for advice. At many schools, that lawyer cannot be present at a student’s hearing（审讯）. Proceedings（诉讼）are also confidential（机密的）–but the results may go on a student’s record.One positive move at Harvard is changing a policy that allowed an accusation to lead automatically to a hearing. Requiring more evidence can guard against one person’s opinion standing in as evidence, for example. But critics still question whether campuses should do more to open up proceedings that can have life-altering consequences.1. It can be inferred from the passage that the author holds a(n) _____attitude towards the entire court system in universities.A. indignantB. objectiveC. approvingD. critical2. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s overall attitude towards the changes to Harvard campus judicial system?A. DefensiveB. IndifferentC. NegativeD. NeutralPassage 2:Hunger is the natural state of mankind, but the good news is that mankind is moving away from nature. Although the world’s population has grown six fold in the past two centuries, food production has grown faster, better and more widely-applied technology—hybrid (杂交) seeds, fertilizers and so on—has allowed farmers to get more calories out of each hectare（公顷）. Future innovations, including genetic modification（基因工程）to produce more nutritious cereals and livestock, should keep the planet’s larders (食物储藏室) well-stocked. But, as this week’s UN World Food Summit showed, this is no cause for complacency.The absolute number of malnourished (营养不良的) people is declining by about 5 million a year. As a proportion of the world’s population, the improvement is even more marked. But that still leaves 800 million people hungry, which translates into a lot of suffering. Underfed children die more easily from disease, and are often stunted (阻碍) both physically and mentally, making it harder for them to earn a living as adults.Hunger is caused by bad weather, but even more by bad government. Well-governed countries never suffer famine (饥荒); but of the 25 worst-nourished nations, all are badly governed, some spectacularly so. Little can be done about the weather, at least in the short term, but policies can change.Farmers in poor countries are no longer herded at gunpoint into collectives, a policy that killed millions in the 20th century. But men with guns still reduce farmers’incentives to grow food in countries where wars rage. In eastern Congo, nobody wants to raise cattle, because marauding(劫掠的) soldiers steal them. Even in peaceful poor countries, land tenure (承租使用权) is often insecure. In Zimbabwe, the government grabs land and gives it to supporters, which has caused farm output to fall rapidly.Note: nourish vt. 滋养mankind n. 人类apply v. 应用fertilizer n. 肥料calories 卡路里innovation n. 发明；创新1.What is the author’s attitude towards the overall world food situation?A. OptimisticB. PessimisticC. ObjectiveD. Angry2. What is the author’s opinion of government in the 25 worst-nourished nations?A. SympatheticB. ConcernedC. CriticalD. Positive Passage 3.Because we have so much to choose from, many companies and stores offer advice about what we should eat. Books, magazines and television shows tell us about food and pills we should buy to become smarter, healthier and more beautiful. It is probably better, however, if we spend our time and money in buying good food and keeping a balanced diet, if we eat healthy food in the right amounts, we do not have to buy any supplements. The same goes for "crash diets" that some companies say will make us lose weight fast. Instead of eating expensive diet food or going on unhealthy diets, we can simply try to eat less fat and sugar and exercise more.(选自人民教育出版社《全日制普通高级中学教科书（必修）--英语第一册（下）》Unit 13)1. What is the author's attitude towards the advice offered by various media?A. UninterestedB. NegativeC. ObjectiveD. UnmentionedPassage 4.If you like music, you should go to the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) in Kuching. It insists that "music that is difficult and demanding is good for you, whether you like it or not!"If you actually don't like a piece of music, don't listen to it. There is plenty to choose among RWMF's 17 performers and bands. Some of the music on offer is not easy to listen to. It often doesn't follow the standard sounds of rock, blues or jazz, and it often uses rhythms that many of us can't immediately identify. Some of the sounds are not necessarily melodic1. Some of the music is difficult for the average western biased2 listener to appreciate.It is a completely different experience to watch and listen at the same time. Listening alone, you will often gain something meaningful. Most of the performers are folk musicians, but they are almost fully aware of the leading popular music styles. There is no rejection3 of "mainstream" music; however, there is a willingness to experiment and combine their own traditional styles with others.After all, "world music" is folk music, which is all about what folk like to hear, not just what is "good" for them, so it has developed by responding to the audience.Notes：1.melodic adj.主旋律的2.biased adj.有偏见的3.rejection n.拒绝1. The purpose of this passage is mainly to______.A. tell readers the music at the RWMF is difficult to understandB. introduce the RWMF and the kinds of music played thereC. explain that there is a variety of music in the worldD. define the term "world music"2.From the passage, what is the characteristic of the music at the RWMF?A. The music is off "mainstream".B. All of the music has beautiful rhythms.C. The music there combines rock, blues and jazz.D. Some of the music is not easy to understand.3. What is the author's attitude toward the music at RWMF?A. ObjectiveB. PositiveC. CriticalD. IndifferentPassage 5.Both men and women in the USA usually smile and shake hands when greeting. Good friends and family members may embrace when they meet. In casual situations, a wave may be used instead of a handshake. Americans often greet strangers on the street by saying "Hello" or "Good morning". When greeting someone for the first time, Americans commonly say "Pleased to meet you!" or "How do you do?" A simple "Hello" or "Hi" is also common. Friends often greet each other with "How are you?" and respond "Fine, thanks."Americans do not generally stand very close to each other, keeping about one arm’s length apart. However, they may touch one another on the arm or shoulder during conversation. It’s common for couples to hold hands or show affection* in public. Both men and women dress casually when circumstances allow, but in formal settings it’s usually considered improper.Visiting friends, family, and relatives plays a big part in social life in the United States, and people will travel long distances to do so. People are generally expected to be on time for appointments, or when invited to someone’s home. Guests are expected to make themselves comfortable, to sit where they like and to enjoy themselves. Gifts are not expected, but many guests bring flowers or wine when invited for a meal.Note:* affection n.喜爱1. The purpose of this passage is _____.A. to introduce American social etiquette（社交礼节）B. to introduce table manners in AmericaC. to tell readers how to make people like themD. to remind people to bring gifts when visiting someone’s home2.

The writer’s attitude toward American lifestyle is _____.A. positiveB. uninterestedC. criticalD. unmentionedPassage 6.Anne Sewell Young was born on January 2, 1871, in the United States. She earned her bachelor’s degree in 1892 from Carleton College in Minnesota, where she also completed a master’s degree in 1897. She went on to earn a PhD (something very unusual for women in those days) from Columbia University in 1906.Anne Sewell Young was the most famous of the early astronomy students at Carleton College, and one of the few professional women astronomers of her days. Carleton produced half a dozen professional women astronomers in the first 50 years of the course, but she was the only one whose name was recorded in the college’s"Who’s Who"(名人录).Anne Sewell Young was a member of the AAVSO(美国变星观测者协会). She handed in over 6,500 observations over a 33-year period, and was also one of the first AAVSO Council members.In 1881, Mt. Holyoke College set up the John Payson Williston Observatory (天文台), and in 1899 Young was named its director. In 1903, a library and a lecture room were added to the observatory building, and in 1907 astronomy was made a course in which one could major at the college, with Young serving as Department Chair. She retired in 1936, and Alice Farnsworth succeeded her.Young continued to work on astronomy, publishing her last paper in 1942. She died on August 15, 1961, in California.Notes:1. bachelor’s degree学士学位2. master’s degree硕士学位3. PhD 博士学位 4. observation n. 观测 5. astronomy n. 天文学 6. astronomer n. 宇航员1.

The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago，with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线) on September 27,1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. 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 of 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.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and 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.The problems of excessive(过度的) energy consumption，climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L．Friedman. He fears the worst，but hopes for the best.Friedman points out that the green economy(经济)is a chance to keep American strength.” The ability to design，build and export green technologies for producing clean water，clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”30．What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?A．Ambiguous. B．Doubtful.C．Hopeful. D．Tolerant.Passage 9.Carrie Gracie is knowledgeable about China and its affairs. She also has a reputation（名声） as a generous colleague. She has resigned（辞职） from her job as China editor because her employers will not pay her at the same rate as they pay the handful of men who do a similarly challenging and important job. She has resigned because she refused to go on colluding(共谋) with the BBC’s dishonesty about its failure to give women and men equal pay for equal work.Gracie was recruited to the job，because she had all the talent and skills the BBC needed to cover the difficult international and domestic story of the rise of China. One of the conditions she set for taking it was equal pay with the BBC’s other international editors，familiar names including Jon Sopel in Washington and Jeremy Bowen in the Middle East.Last summer, the government forced the BBC to publish which of the familiar names on radio and TV earned over ￡150,000. The results exposed an astonishing pay gap. They also showed Gracie that her employers had misled her.Gracie sets out all her efforts to get her bosses to do what they had 8originally promised her，but they fail to respond adequately. Instead，they prevaricate(搪塞) and offer her a pay rise that still would not have delivered equality. They thought they could buy her off. They thought that the reputational hazard she was running would scare her away from the fight.The BBC is wrong this time! Gracie has chosen to design rather than give in because she thinks that it is her responsibility to stop the BBC doing something stupid. She is fighting for women’s legal rights.Gracie said she hoped she wouldn’t be remembered as the woman who complained about money，but as a great journalist（记者）. She is proving that they are two sides of the same invaluable coin.Carrie Gracie’s dispute with the BBC isn’t about money—it’s about dignity（尊严）! 4．What is the author’s attitude towards the BBC?A．Positive. B．Vague.C．Critical. D．Cautious.Passage 10.A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love(早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr. Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity（成熟） gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.8．What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?A．Confused. B．Disapproving.C．Neutral. D．Scared.专题强化练Passage 11.(2018·新疆第一次适应性检测)Emma Watson entered our lives as the perfect Hermione Granger in 2001，and 18 years later，we’re just as much in love with this charming, intelligent British girl，as ever. You may or may not be a Potterhead（哈利波特迷）, but a lot of people are charmed by Emma Watson’s perfection.Despite being a star performer at the young age of 11，she’s never gone the Hollywood spoiled child route. In fact，she made all attempts to stay as normal as possible. She said，”Ignoring fame was my rebellion，in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn’t advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn’t wise to share a bathroom with eight other people in a dormitory. Looking back，I think that was crazy.”She added，”I was very well educated. My dad paid for me to go to a very good school，so I worked hard every single day at that school to make him proud of me. And I did，and I still do.”If we had to imagine what Hermione Granger would have grown up to be like，we would say she’d be the Emma Watson of the Potter universe because there really is no way to separate the two. In the last few years，Emma has added more feathers to her cap than we imagined being humanly possible，which include actor，scholar，model and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. In her role as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador，she’d supported powerful causes to the best of her ability and brought them all the attention they deserve.Emma Watson gave us the most accurate description of our favorite girl from the Potter universe. “Young girls are told you have to be a delicate princess. Hermione taught them that you can be a warrior.”4．What’s the author’s attitude to Emma Watson?A．Critical. B．Objective.C．Cautious. D．Appreciative.Passage 12.(2018·吉林长春质量监测二)Next time you go shopping，keep in mind that there may be hidden cameras analyzing your habits. According to a 2015 survey of 150 managers from Computer Services Corporation，a quarter of British shops use facial recognition software to collect data on shoppers’ behavior.With concerns that face-recognition（人脸识别）cameras “are kind of invasive(冒犯的)”，British analysis firm Hoxton Analytics has come up with a new way of measuring footfall(客流)—by filming people’s shoes. The technology can collect a large amount of personal information. “We have cameras at about 50 cm off the ground and they point down so they are less invasive than facial recognition，” Duncan Mann，Hoxton’s officer said.As modern cities get fuller—70 percent of the population will live in urban areas by 2050—cameras and other technologies are taking over public spaces and collecting our data. Their purpose is to keep people safe，provide efficient services and prevent disasters and crimes.But some are not happy with the cameras as far as their privacy(隐私) is concerned. “Very few of us have any real concept of what data smart cities are gathering，” said Renate Samson.We begin giving away data as soon as we wake up. When we enter the transport system，we are giving away even more details about ourselves through smart cards，mobile phones or credit cards.Nick Millman，director at a consulting firm thinks statistics are the key to the privacy concern. He used the example of Google Maps，which is to monitor the flow of traffic in Stockholm. He explained，”It is basically adding privacy controls to statistics so that you only see the data you need to know about. In this case，Google gets enough data to improve traffic but not so much that it shows individual journey patterns.”8．What is Renate Samson’s attitude towards the rise of smart cities?A．Worried. B．Optimistic.C．Confused. D．Uninterested.。
