专题限时检测(二十五)阅读理解D篇增分练(三)(共2篇,限时20分钟)APerfectThe eyeliner makes the dark circles less visible. The lip gloss hides the trembling. The ponytail hides missing patches of hair. The Abercrombie sweater covers bruises (伤痕). I might look a bit thinner, but everyone will ask about my new diet. My hair might not shine the way it used to, but the pink ribbon will distract curious eyes. One hour of preparation and I look like myself. One hour of preparation and no one will know. One hour out of 24. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth —wasting a twenty-fourth of my day on a lie. But then I see my wispy hair and baggy eyes, and I have to do it.Checking my make-up one last time, I push my sleeves up, though not past my elbows. I slip on a cute pair of flat shoes — heels are too dangerous with shaky legs — and grab my Hollister bag. Padding downstairs, I breathe in the scent of waffles and syrup.“Morning, Mom,” I call.“Morning, baby,” she chirps. “Did you sleep well?”“Better than I have been.”She sighs, and her eyes look a hundred years old for a minute. “Any improvement is good,” she says half-heartedly.“Of course.”“I made waffles.” Her offering.“Thanks, Mom. Smells delicious.” My offering.I sit at the table and she hands me a plate. The thought of all that food turns my stomach, but I force a smile and thank my mother again. She busies herself at the sink and fills the silence with chatter. When she turns around, she takes in the waffles still on my plate, only missing a few bites. I smile apologetically.“I'm not very hungry this morning.”“You'll need your strength for this afternoon.” She bites her lip. She doesn't like to bring it up over breakfast. I eat another bite.“I packed your lunch.”“I'm 18, Mom. I can pack my own lunch. You have more important things to do.”She reaches for the paper sack. “But now I know you'll have something to eat. And you need to eat, okay? You have to keep your strength up.”Sighing, I take the bag. I know this peanut butter and jelly sandwich won't be eaten, not any more than the one yesterday or the day before. Anything consumed after 11 ends up in a plastic basin at 4:07. It's just the way it works.“Hon, have you thought about what I said the other day?” she asks.I_shrug_noncommittally.“Sweetheart, you can't hide this forever. Eventually you're going to miss school and people will start asking questions.”“Mom, I have two months left of high school. I can make it till then. I'm class president and probably will make a graduation speech. I was voted‘Most popular’,‘Most fun to be around’,‘Best smile’ and‘Most likely to succeed’.I'm the girl who's got it all together. People don't want to know that the girl who's got it all together, doesn't have it all together. People don't want to know that girl is dying!”“Honey, don't say that. You're not dying.”“Yes, I am. You heard Dr. Morrison. I have maybe a year left. Mom, listen to me. I don't want to be the girl everyone looks at and whispers, ‘Look at her. Poor thing!’ I can't handle that. I want to be normal. Just for these last two months.”“Okay,”she whispers. “Okay. Just remember, it's okay if you don't have it all toge ther. Sometimes things just fall apart and there's nothing we can do.”“Thanks, Mom.” I grab my bag and lunch and kiss her on the cheek. “I love you.”“I love you too,” my mom replies. This exchange, once taken for granted, is now a vital part of every morning, every afternoon, every night. Three little words, followed by four more, have come to mean more than an entire conversation. They bridge all gaps and disagreements, because we both know there is now a finite number left.Keys in hand, I open the door and blink in the early morning sun. My silver car waits in the driveway and as I walk toward it, I check my reflection in the tinted window. Perfect.语篇解读:本文讲述了因病而时日不多的作者早上上学前和母亲的对话,作者坚持要开完毕业典礼,以最好的面貌和同学们告别。

1.语言与结构特点:议论文一般观点明确、论据充分、语言精练、论证合理,有严密的逻辑性,通常采用三段论式的结构,即“提出问题(引论)—分析问题(本论)—解决问题(结论)”。
因此,要理解议论文有两个关键点,一是要弄清文章的论点是什么、采用了哪些论据、如何论证;二是要理清其基本结构。
2.答题误区:议论文阅读理解题易错点往往在于事实与观点的区分以及观点本身。
解题时,一要弄清哪些是所引述的事实,哪些是作者的观点以及引述中不同人物的观点;二要弄清作者真正的观点是什么,既要考虑全文,又要重视结论部分,谨防将文章中引述的某人的观点和作者的观点混为一谈。
3.阅读策略:在阅读解题时,应该从结构和内容两方面同时入手,先通读全文,再区分事实和观点。
通常来说,议论文会采用三段论式结构。
首段会通过一个故事或对某种现象的描述来引入话题,明确论点;接下来是文章的主体部分,会用两个或两个以上的段落引用事实和理论论据进行论证,常用的论证方法有举例、引用和对比等,这一部分要注意作者所选用的论据,它们往往与细节理解题的考查点相对应,同时还要留意论证的方法;文章的最后一段是结论部分,要弄清作者最后得出了什么结论。
在通读全文并了解文章的结构和内容后再阅读试题,到文章中去找相对应的信息,比如事实、观点、作者真正的意图和结论等。
文体分类练(四)——议论文(限时30分钟)A(2019·山西太原五中阶段检测)Visitors to Hennna, a restaurant outside Nagasaki, Japan, are greeted by an unusual sight: Their food being prepared by a row of humanoid robots. The name of the “head chef”is Andrew. Using his two long arms, he stirs batter (面糊) in a metal bowl, then pours it onto a hot grill. In a nearby hotel, robots check guests into their rooms and help with their luggage.CEO Hideo Sawada, who runs the restaurant and the hotel,predicted that 70% of the jobs at Japan's hotels would beautomated (自动化) in the next five years. He said, “Since youcan work them 24 hours a day, and they don't need vacation, eventually it's more costeffective to use the robot.”This_is_seemingly_worrying. In fact, in America, one of the few bright spots in recent years has been employment in restaurants and hotels. In the company Panera, because of its new kiosks, an app that allows customers to place orders online, the chain is now processing more orders overall, which means it needs more total workers to meet consumers' demand. Customers who use Starbucks' app return more frequently than those who don't. Starbucks employed 8 percent more people in the U.S. in 2016 than it did in 2015, the year it launched the app.Of course, whether automation is a net benefit for workers in restaurants and hotels and not just a competitive advantage for one chain over another will depend on whether an improved customer experience makes Americans more likely to dine out and stay at hotels, rather than brownbagging it or looking for the Airbnb to book unique homes.1.Why does the writer describe the unusual sight in paragraph 1?A.To promote robots. B.To introduce the topic.C.To voice his opinion. D.To show the background.2.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?A.Automation may be a challenge to human jobs.B.Automation may increase business costs.C.Workers may fail to focus on their tasks.D.Many companies may fail to survive.3.What can we learn from the two cases in paragraph 3?A.The two companies are trying to take over the market competitively.B.Automation could open up more job chances for humans.C.Starbucks employed more people than Panera did in 2016.D.Automation helps the shops become famous online.4.What is the author's attitude toward the future of automation?A.Objective. B.Positive.C.Cautious. D.Doubtful.B(2019·济南高三模拟)We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours —about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day —at our computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us? It might be, mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.Blue light is a type of electromagnetic (电磁的) radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy. While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, there's no scientificevidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why bluelightblocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work?“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye, but there's no evidence that it may be causing serious damage,”Dr. Rahul Khurana, clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, told BusinessInsider.Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light. But if blue light isn't harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we're looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain (眼疲劳): More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And blue light, it seems, isn't the cause. Instead, our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the issue, bluelightblocking glasses are probably of little use.5.What do we know about blue light?A.It is a kind of nuclear radiation.B.It has the shortest wavelength.C.It may come from electronic devices.D.It consumes a great deal of energy.6.What causes the popularity of bluelightblocking glasses?A.Evidence of their benefits to eyes.B.Belief in blue light's harmful effect.C.Widespread use of smart devices.D.Scientific understanding of blue light.7.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A.Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.B.Eye problems are not easy to deal with.C.Blue light may connect with tired eyes.D.Rubbing eyes makes people strained.8.According to the text, wearing bluelightblocking glasses may be ________.A.tiring B.harmfulC.useless D.beneficialC(2019·潍坊高三模拟)It's not easy feeling like you're always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make. Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again. You wish you had a time capsule to go back and make things right if you find mistakes. You fear what others will think about you and that they will reject and dislike you. You seek to be socially perfect.Academically, you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks. Although most would say “it's good to have high standards,”they have no idea about the internal hell you put yourself through to achieve perfection. If you come up less than your desired goal you feel as though you have failed, but you're far from failing, you just don't see it that way. So instead you are telling yourself that you're stupid, and not smart. The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the “not good enough”label each and every day.You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others. If people don't perform up to your expectations, then you think they are incompetent. This causes a lot of frustration because you can't trust anyone to get things right. So instead of being a team player you fly solo (单飞) and try to do two or three jobs at once. Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other areas of your life.The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it's the unachievable American dream that's damaging our emotional and mental health. We strive for perfection with our body, in our performance, and in our relationships. In_a_society_that_overstates_mistakes,_is_it_any_wonder_that_so_many_young_people_attempt_the_impossible_task_of_being_perfect?We all have flaws, fears, and make mistakes, and that's perfectly OK. It's our imperfections that make life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger and more adaptable person. We don't have to strive to achieve the impossible. We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.9.What might be the most suitable title of the text?A.Far From FailingB.Perfectly ImperfectC.Perfectionism PhenomenonD.Unachievable American Dream10.Which of the following is a perfectionist most likely to agree?A.Nobody is perfect.B.Be generous with praise.C.There is no best, only better.D.A contented mind is an everlasting feast.11.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?A.More and more people are tolerating mistakes.B.The society is partly to blame for perfectionism.C.Many young people find it impossible to be perfect.D.It's unusual for a society to seek perfectionism nowadays.12.What does the author think of imperfection?A.It's part of our life.B.It's unbearable.C.It deserves to be overcome.D.It does harm to our mental health.D(2019·成都第一次诊断)Japan recently lowered its voting age from 20 to 18. This decision was in part to help young people feel more engaged in politics. But it may also signal the change of social views regarding the beginning of adulthood.Adulthood has traditionally been defined by a combination of age and the achievementof social milestones (里程碑). Most countries have a legally defined age to determine when a person becomes an adult — the age of majority. In Australia, most states consider a person to be an adult in court at 18. The age of 18 is also consistent with other adult privileges, such as the right to purchase alcohol and to marry. However, 17yearolds can serve in the army and get a driver's licence. The law defines adulthood on the basis of age and it also recognizes the process of becoming an adult as involving himself gradually in social responsibility. This legal approach to adulthood is mirrored in other countries, where there are differences between the age of majority and social responsibility given to young people.Socially, determinants of adulthood traditionally focus on a person taking increasing responsibility for their lives in various ways. Completing school, taking fulltime employment, getting married and parenthood —these are all observable indicators to determine when a person is viewed as an adult.Since the 1980s, however, people have achieved some of these observable milestones at later ages. Increased access to education has delayed young people leaving home and developing romantic relationships. Economic changes have also resulted in unstable employment markets and increases in costs of living, prompting many young people to remain at home and dependent on parents.Due to these social changes, our expectations of young people and their level of social responsibility have also changed. The recognition of a new life stage —emerging (发展初期的) adulthood — has been recommended to account for the changes to social milestones that have traditionally represented adulthood.13.What can we learn about adulthood from the text?A.People reach observable indicators much later.B.Age alone is a reliable determinant of adulthood.C.Participation in politics is a responsibility for adulthood.D.Economic changes mainly shift people's views on adulthood.regarding the beginning of adulthood”可推知,参与政治是成年人的责任,故C项正确。
