高考英语考前30天之备战专题三阅读理解第一节阅读理解解题方法突破记叙文文类学案第一节阅读理解解题方法突破B. 记叙文类1. 体裁特点综述记叙文是以叙述描写为主要方式，以记人叙事为主要内容的一种文体。

其主要特点为通过生动的事例来反映生活和作者的思想感情。

记叙文的表达方式常常结合了说明、议论、描写、抒情，生动形象地讲述发生在过去、现在和未来的事情。

常见的记叙文有小说、戏剧、传记、新闻报道和日记等。

但无论哪种记叙文，都囊括了事件的时间、地点、人物、事情的起因、经过和结果。

记叙的手法分顺叙和倒叙两种。

2. 针对该文体的特点，我们如何快速有效地对文章进行整体把握？在阅读的过程中，最重要的是把握故事的情节发展，理清故事的脉络线索。

3. 解题方法突破记叙文中常见的线索有：事件的发展线索；人物的情感发展过程；作者思想感情的变化过程以及时间、空间的变化。

在记叙文的阅读过程中，具体要注意把握以下几点：（1）开头句：总领全文，开篇点题埋下伏笔。

（2）结尾句：点明中心，深化主题。

（3）线索句：承上启下，紧凑文章。

（4）每段的中心句。

（5）总结文章主题思想。

体裁：记叙文限时： 6分钟词汇量： 343难度:适中A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute，” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr Davis the retired man, or Mr Dav is the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase(公文包) and standing before my full length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I m Mr Davis.” Sometimes Iwould give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12year old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves.I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students alonga long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.Great trees are good for nothing but shade. 大树底下好乘凉。

高考英语考前30天之备战专题三阅读理解第一节阅读理解解题方法突破应用文类学案第一节阅读理解解题方法突破D. 应用文类1. 体裁特点综述应用文类阅读理解主要是一些关于生活中常见的事务如乘车、购物、去图书馆、器械使用说明或其他科普类说明文组成。

该类文章最大的特点就是生词词汇量大，但不影响阅读；阅读信息繁而不杂，需要细心理顺；文章条理分明，没有多大的思考空间，通常不会考查考生的主观态度。

2. 针对该文体的特点，我们如何快速有效地对文章进行整体把握？迅速浏览文章的第一段，知道文章介绍的主题；扫描段落或板块，把握层次性；关注文章的结尾，留意特别注意事项。

3. 解题方法突破（1）先扫描文章可能存在的标题或插图，把握所要介绍的主题；（2）认真阅读文章的第一段，了解介绍该主题的目的；（3）扫描阅读文章后面的题目，带着问题看文章；（4）解题时切忌“凭印象”，细节问题要到文章中具体确认。

Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground．Meal Plans AvailableContinental BreakfastBreakfast and DinnerBreakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast.Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal(谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee.Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England.Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee．FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host s permission.You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy．Self Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room.This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long stay student.However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much．文本把握1. 寄宿家庭可以提供哪些？2. 一天的饮食如何安排？3. 要注意哪些事情不能做？（）1.

专题限时训练(二十七)[新闻报道型阅读理解][限时：25分钟](一)MIT researchers and their colleagues are working to find out whether energy from trees can power a network of sensors (传感器) to prevent spreading forest fires.What they learn could also raise the possibility of using trees as silent guards along the nation’s borders to discover potential threats such as smuggled (走私的) radioactive materials.The U．S. Forest Service currently predicts and tracks fires with a variety of tools，including remote automated weather stations. But these stations are expensive and sparsely (稀疏地) distributed. Additional sensors could save trees by providing better local climate data to be used in fire prediction models and earlier warnings. However，recharging or replacing batteries by hand at very hard-to-reach locations makes it impractical and costly.The new sensor system seeks to avoid this problem by developing trees into a self-sustaining power supply. Each sensor is equipped with a battery that can be slowly recharged using electricity produced by the tree. “A single tree doesn’t generate a lot of power，but over time the trickle (细流) charge adds up，just like‘________’，”said Shuguang Zhang，one of the researchers on the project and the associate director of the MIT’s Center for Biomedical Engineering (CBE)．The system produces enough electricity to allow the temperature and humidity sensors to wirelessly send out signals four times a day，or immediately if there’s a fire. Each signal spreads from one sensor to another，until it reaches an existing weather station that sends the data by satellite to a forestry command center in Boise，Idaho.Scientists have long known that trees can produce extremely small amounts of electricity. But no one knew exactly how the energy was produced or how to take advantage of the power.()1. What are the disadvantages of the remote automated weather stations?a. They cost too much.b. They are of poor quality.c. They are not enough.d. They can’t reach remote places.A．a，b B．b，d C．a，c D．b，c()2. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank?A．Far water does not put out near fireB．All rivers run into seaC．Many a little makes a mickleD．It never rains but it pours()3. What Shuguang Zhang said in Paragraph 4 means that ________.A．a single tree is enough to generate much powerB．the power from the tree can’t be storedC．trees can generate enough power for our lifeD．a tree can produce the electricity to meet the needs of a sensor()4. What would the author talk about after the last paragraph of the passage?A．The amount of electricity trees produce.B．How trees produce electricity.C．Trees’ contributi on to society.D．The research process of tree power.()5. What would be the best title for the passage?A．Preventing forest fires with tree powerB．Trees can produce electricityC．Tree power in daily lifeD．Developing new energy(二)SYDNEY: Australian scientists have found how to switch hunger on and off using a molecule(分子) that targets the brain—a discovery which could stop weight loss in sick patients or produce weight loss in the obese(肥胖的)．The molecule，known as MIC-1，is produced by common cancers and targets receptors(受体) in the brain that switch off appetite. But Australian researchers found that by using antibodies(抗体) against MIC-1 they were able to switch appetite back on. When normal and obese mice were treated with MIC-1，they ate less and lost a lot of weight，suggesting that MIC-1 may also be used to treat severe obesity，the Sydney researchers said in a statement yesterday.“This work has given us a better understanding of the part of the brain that regulates appetite，”said Herbert Herzog，director of neuroscience research at the Garvan Institute in Sydney. “Our bodies send complex chemical signals to our brains，which interpret them and send back orders: in this case，eat or don’t eat. Our research indicated that MIC-1 is a previously unrecognized molecule sending a don’t­eat signal to the brain，” Herzog said.The researchers said it was hoped that in the near future，the MIC-1 findings will prevent many advanced cancer patients from “wasting away(消瘦)”．Sam Breit，who originally cloned the MIC-1 gene，said he believed the findings could have a significant impact on a range of appetite-related disorders. “Injecting mice with MIC-1 protein also made them stop eating，suggesting that it may be possible to use this to advantage for treating patients with severe obesity，” he said.The MIC-1 findings were published in the latest Nature Medicine magazine and the team of researchers led by St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney hope to develop a human antibody and run clinical trials in the next few years.()1. According to the text，MIC-1 ________.A．is produced by cancers of some special typeB．can target receptors in the brain that switch on and off appetiteC．proves effective on mice in making them healthierD．is a molecule that sends a don’t­eat signal to the brain()2. We can learn from the text that________.A．the researchers now understand better the part of the brain controlling appetite B．the MIC-1 findings have already been put into clinical useC．MIC-1 will surely be used to cure patients of serious obesityD．the researchers originally cloned the MIC-1 gene to treat cancer()3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?A．The researchers hoped the findings gene would be applied to treating human diseases soon.B．The researchers hoped the findings would be used to cure cancer patients.C．Sam Breit believed the findings could be useful in treating appetite-related disorders.D．Clinical trials haven’t been run yet.(三)Rome—Doctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition(反对) to the news that an Italian specialist is on_the_brink_of cloning the first human baby.Dr. Severino Antinori，who is the head of a hospital in Rome，has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming(声称) that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant (怀孕) with a cloned baby.Antinori refused to comment on the reports，but in March 2001 he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo (胚胎) for implantation within two years. So far seven different kinds of mammals have already successfully cloned，including sheep，cats and most recently rabbits.Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admitted that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a worldwide ban on the practice.Professor Rudolf Jaeniscb of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said: “I find it astonishing that people do this where theresult can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby. It is using humans as guinea pigs. It makes people feel sick.”But Ronald Green，director of the Ethics Institute at Darmouth College in the US，said it is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth.So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders，many of them dying soon after their births.Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one.“There are no benefits of cloned human beings，just harm，” said Dr Michael Wilks of the UK.()1. What do the underlined words “on the brink of”in the first paragraph mean most probably?A．on the side of B．on the point ofC．in search of D．in favour of()2. What is the doctors’ general attitude to cloning of humans according to the passage?A．They are against it.B．They support it.C．They welcome it.D．They pay no attention to it.()3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Doctor Severino Antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human beings.B．Up to now，seven kinds of animals have been cloned.C．An eight-week-old embryo is on an experiment of cloning.D．Ronald Green doubts about the future successful birth of the so-called cloned embryo.()4. Which is the best title for the passage?A．The Success of Cloning HumansB．The Anger at Cloning HumansC．Failure of Cloning HumansD．First Cloned Human?专题限时训练(二十七)(一)本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了科学家的发现：树能为预防森林火灾的传感器供电。
