高考新题型AMany language learners think that the best way to learn a language is to spend time in a country where the language is spoken. Nowadays, it has become easier to find both chances and means. Many schools offer exchange program at a reasonable cost. Some programmes offer a “homestay” service.A year in foreign country is not just about learning a language. It is true that exchange students usually become better in the new language, but most of them would probably tell you that they also learn many other things that are even more important. Being an exchange student helps you make friends with different people and understand another culture. Besides, it can help broaden your horizons (视野) and improve your understanding of the world. What is perhaps the most valuable is what you learn about yourself and your own culture. As an exchange student, you have to learn to depend on yourself and you will often be asked to explain your country and culture to others. It may seem strange, but many returning exchange students say that their year abroad made them understand their own country and culture for the first time.Studying abroad may also have its disadvantages. While exchange students can learn many useful things, it is also possible that some of them may fall behind in their studies. Since exchange students always experience language and culture problems in the beginning, they will not be able to take classes at the same level as at home. Many parents worry about the safety of their children and the cost.阅读短文，完成表格。

专题阅读理解高中英语教学大纲明确规定“侧重提高阅读能力”，这为我们的备考指明了方向。

分析近几年的高考英语试题，我们不难看出，阅读理解是高考试题中难度最大，区分度最高的题型，自始至终占据着主导地位。

阅读理解能力属于语言的领会技能，它不仅考查对语篇的整体把握能力，而且考查快速捕捉信息、准确理解特定细节以及复杂句子的能力。

不仅要准确理解文章表层的意思，还要通过表层去推理、判断。

除此之外，还涉及非语言因素，如：对所学语言国家的社会和文化背景知识的掌握、生活常识、逻辑知识和语言修养等。

Ⅰ.阅读理解题策略一、先看题干，带着问题读文章。

即先看试题，再读文章。

阅读题干，首先要掌握问题的类型，分清是客观信息题还是主观判断题。

其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。

二、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

近几年的高考阅读速度大约是每分钟40词左右。

必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

速读全文对于主旨大意题的解决尤其有效，能快速抓住主干，确定好答案。

三、详读细节，理顺思路与文章脉络。

文章绝不是互不相干的句子的堆砌。

作者为文，有脉可循。

如记叙文多以人物为中心，以时间或空间为线索，按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事；议论文则包含论点、论据、结论三大要素，通过解释、举例来阐述观点。

四、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

深层理解主要包括归纳概括题(中心思想，加标题等)和推理判断题，是阅读理解中的难点。

深层理解是一种创造性的思维活动。

它必须忠实于原文，以文章提供的事实和线索为依据，立足已知推断未知，不能凭空想像，随意揣测；读者要对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。

推理题在提问中常用的词有：conclude，infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

题型训练阅读理解（一）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

AFormal Afternoon TeasA pot of tea, a plate of finger sandwiches and a selection of pastries and scones: In America, this wonderful way to wile away the afternoon is commonly, though mistakenly, known as “high tea.” In Britain, where it originated, “high tea” is simply an old-fashioned name for the evening meal; it’s also called “meal tea.” The light, elegant, scone-centric meal served at fancy hotels is called “low tea” or “afternoon tea”. Whatever you call it, here are four places to get afternoon tea on Long Island. Prices are per person.Chat Noir230 Merrick Rd., Rockville Centre516-208-8521, Owner Emma Tso is a talented pastry chef, and her afternoon tea($22) includes sandwiches, miniature pastries, warm scones, cream and jam and a pot of tea. Open 7 days a week. Reservations required.Robinson’s Tea Room97-E Main St., Stony Brook631-751-1232Robinson’s service afternoon tea Tuesday to Sunday. $26 buys unlimited tea, about 10 finger sandwiches, fresh scones, cream and jam and desserts. Reservations required.The Secret Garden Tea Cafe& Gift Shoppe225 Main St., Port Jefferson631-476-8327, The Street Garden’s menu has more modest options, but the full afternoon tea, $26.95, includes scones, fresh fruit, tea sandwiches, mini desserts and a pot of tea. Open Tuesday to Sunday.The Hidden Oak CafeBayard Cutting Arboretum, Montauk Highway, Great River631-277-3895, The cafe is open Tuesday to Sunday.

At Chat NoirB. At Robinson’s Tea RoomC. At the Hidden Oak CafeD. At the Secret Garden Tea Cafe& Gift ShoppeBThe dad of the two youngest survivors of US Airways Flight 1549’s incredible landing in the Hudson River said the near-death experience “brought out the best in humanity.” It has been a decade since US Airways Flight 1549 landed in the Hudson River.Sosa, now 58, told The Post in an email Monday. “As strange as the experience was, it brought out the best in humanity as witnessed by the selfless efforts of so many men and women who came to our aid without thinking twice about their safety. I am grateful to all of them.”Sosa and his wife Tess were traveling to Charlotte, North Carolina, that day with 9-month-old Damian and 4-year-old Sofia. The couple were sitting several rows apart when the Airbus A320 suddenly struck a flock of Canada geese moments after taking off from LaGuardia Airport.Sosa could smell jet fuel burning and immediately knew they were in danger. “There was an explosion in the left engine which I could see from my seat,” he recalled. “The next thing I knew the plane went dead silent when both engines broke down. I got a quick glance at Tess seated ahead of me when we both realized we were in trouble.”The next three minutes were harrowing(折磨). The powerless plane plunged over The Bronx and pointed toward the Hudson, where it would eventually ditch(在水上迫降), thanks to a split-second decision by Capt. Sullenberger. All 155 people on board could survive. Works helped with the rescue mission after the US Airways plane crashed into the Hudson River in the afternoon on January 15 in New York City.The dad this year 2019 who welcomed a new child, Phoebe, with Tess in the years after the incident — said “To date, it remains an unforgettable memory, a key point in our lives from which we perceive(感知) the world and process our day-to-day experiences,” said Sosa. “When you survive a near-miss experience, I think it makes one more tolerant. It makes you appreciate every day as a gift.”24. When did the US Airways plane crashed into the Hudson River?A. 2007B. 2009C. 2011D. 201925. The underlined sentence most probably means_____.A. making effortsB. expressing gratitudeC. displaying virtuesD. showing anger26. What can be learned about Sosa and Tess?A. A disaster made them cherish every day.B. They were traveling to Charlotte, South Carolina that day.C. They realized they were in danger when the left engine failed.D. They were sitting together when the plane struck a flock of Canada geese.27. What may be the best title of the passage?A. Landing in the HudsonB. Unforgettable flightC. Horrifying flightD. Miracle on the HudsonCHave you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard, maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game, when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”, often used in a situation---a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm?A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storm---a single-cell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main stream of current, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions—even from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a low-pressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapor in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles(颗粒) like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air is squeezed out at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderstorms, though, don't start with calm. That's because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. There's so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm, it might be really windy!28. Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?A.A thunderstorm with a single shape.B.A thunderstorm without strong winds.C.A storm with air drawn from every direction.D.A storm fueled by moving air from the ground.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Warm and wet air.B. Warm and dry air.C. Cold and wet air.D. Cold and dry air.30. Which does the writer most likely agree to?A. Presence of the calm relies on stable air.B. All thunderstorms don’t start with the calm.C. The drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be.D. Storm happens without air moving up and down.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. A brief introduction of a peaceful storm.B. A personal experience of a heavy storm.C. An explanation of the calm before a storm.D. An analysis of causes and effects of a storm.DAs the international demand for narrative(叙事的) film/TV content continues to increase with popular streaming services like Netflix and others the two questions then come: will the cominggenerations receive most of their entertainment through visual means rather than through the written word and will such an increase of narrative film/ TV reduce the importance of reading?Growing examples of this trend include the diminishment(减少) of fiction in the common core (核心的)curriculum, the ever－rising culture of computer games, the wave of streaming services of wide international reach, and movies filled with special effects made for children and teenagers. Nor must we ignore the economic dangers that lie ahead for the written word. The narrative film industry is a moneymaker that dwarfs(使相形见绌) the publishing industry.The other underlying question, of course, is “does it really matter if the written word bows to the world of film/TV?” From my point of view, any diminishment of fiction delivered by words is a loss for mankind.There is no greater human feature than the imagination. It lies at the very soul of the human species. It is the brain’s most powerful engine. It is the essential muscle of life and like all muscles it must be exercised and strengthened.Writing and reading are the principal tools that inspire, create and empower our imagination. Anything that diminishes that power is the enemy of mankind.It should be known that I am not opposed to new media and technological advances. Instead, I have always felt it necessary to adapt to advancing technology. In fact, a number of my novels are in various stages of development for film, TV, and live stage productions. My hope is that the written word will only stand to be complemented(补充)by its visual counterparts(对应物), not pushed to the edge of extinction.Of course, there are those who will present arguments for the superiority of the moving image over the written word. Each has its place. My argument is for finding the right balance between it and the moving image.32. In what way does narrative film/TV embarrass the written word?A. Economic benefitsB. International reachC. Cultural influenceD. Educational importance33. Why does the author value the role of the written word?A. It strengthens our muscles.B. It helps sharpen imagination.C. It distinguishes man from each other.D. It paves the way for narrative film/TV.34. What is the author’s attitude towards technology?A. CautiousB. SkepticalC. PositiveD. Critical35. What’s the author concerned about?A. The fate of reading.B. The extinction of fiction.C. The impact of the written word.D. The future of the moving image.参考答案21-23 CAD24-27 BCAD28-31DABC32-35 ABCA题型训练阅读理解（二）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

2020;2020高考英语二轮（阅读理解）35分钟限时训练（4）及答案Ⅱ.阅读理解AWords：568 难度系数：★★★建议用时：9分钟If I could select a word that best describes the majority of American parents, that word would be guilt­ridden (内疚的)．How sad it is to see parents become the willing victims of the “give­me game”， only to discover that, no matter what they do, it isn’t enough.In the end, they are looked down for their lack of firmness and blamed when their spoiled children get into trouble.With this in mind, I shall first answer this question: “What do parents owe their children？”And I shall start with what they don’t owe them.Parents don’t owe their children every minute of their day and every ounce of their energy.They don’t owe round­the­clock car service, singing lessons, tennis lessons, an expensive car when they reach sixteen, or a trip to Europe when they graduate.I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education.If they can afford it, fine.But they need not feel guilty if they can’t.If the children really want to go, they’ll find a way.Here are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and eager who can’t afford to pay. After children marry, their parents do not owe them a house or money for the furniture.They do not have an obligation to baby­sit their gr andchildren when the parents were on vacation.If they want to do it, it must be considered a favour, not an obligation.In my opinion, parents do not owe their children an inheritance, no matterhow much money they have.One of the surest ways to produce a loafer is to let children know that their future is assured.Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal. One of their chief obligations is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self­esteem is the basis of a good mental health.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline.Parents owe their children privacy and respect for their personal belongings.No child asks to be born.If you bring a life into the world, you owe the children something.And if you give him his due, he’ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.1．According to the author, ________.A．parents ought to send children to college as a dutyB．parents needn’t feel guilty if they are unable to send their children to collegeC．if they say “No”，parents will surely make their children angry D．parents must support their children even after their marriage解析：选B。

专题限时训练(三十)[时闻型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)(一)As Apple tries to maintain its growth and success in China, the world's largest smart phone market is becoming even more critical. Apple's shares(股份) fell sharply as the company's earnings for the holiday quarter through December disappointed investors.The sales of the iPhone, which included both the iPhone 5 and older models, came in at the low end of analysts' expectations, while the company's income plan for the second quarter was below analysts' forecasts, though Apple was known to give conservative (保守的) forecasts.Some analysts have said that for Apple to regain its growth, the company needs a more aggressive strategy for markets, or more specifically for China, where the market for smart phones has been expanding more rapidly than anywhere else. In China, demand is particularly great for inexpensive phones that run on Android(安卓) operating system, sold by many Chinese phone makers as well as Korea's Samsung Electronics Co.But Apple says it's already enjoying strong growth in China. “We saw big growth in iPhones，” Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said. He said that the company had been quickly expanding its sales channels in China, including the number of Apple stores. “This isn't nearly what we need; we're not even close to that, but we're making great progress，” he said.In China, a big missing piece for Apple is China Mobile Ltd, the biggest local telecom carrier that doesn't yet sell the iPhone. Earlier this month, Mr Cook met China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua in Beijing and discussed cooperation, stirring hopes that the world's largest mobile carrier may soon start offering the iPhone.Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was working on a lower­end iPhone that could launch as early as this year. But one possible challenge for Apple in China is that low­priced Android­based phones are getting better in terms of quality. A report from CLSA in late November showed that many smart phones sold at about 1，000 yuan ($160) came with higher-resolution screens, better cameras and more powerful processors than phones at that price did a year earlier.1．Apple's shares dropped sharply because in December________A．the iPhone wasn't popular in ChinaB．its product quality was widely criticizedC．the earnings for the holiday quarter were disappointingD．the investors were not satisfied with Apple's management2．What can we learn from the passage?A．Apple tends to offer a lower sales forecast.B．China Mobile Ltd began to team up with Apple.C．Cook was pessimistic about what Apple did in China.D．Apple didn't take measures to develop Chinese markets.3．The author uses the report from CLSA to prove________．A．their prices are actually lower than a year earlierB．Apple in China has ability to deal with any problemC．lower­end Android­based phones are progressing fastD．the promotion of lower­end iPhones will face a challenge4．The main purpose of the passage is to show the readers ________．A．Apple's high popularity in ChinaB．the challenge Apple faces in ChinaC．the approaching failure Apple will suffer in ChinaD．Apple's aggressive strategies in its market expansion(二)Experts say the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole appears to have fallen to 100℃，meaning it is now producing steam, not magma(岩浆)．But officials warned that it was too early to say whether the eruption was over completely.Ash clouds from the volcano grounded thousands of flights last month.Steinunn Jakobsdottir, a geophysicist from the Icelandic Meteorological Office, told the BBC that the volcano was “kind of not active for the moment”．“The history of the volcano is such that it calms down and then it gets energy again，” she said.“There are still earthquakes under the volcano, and the small earthquake is still not quite down to what it was before the eruption.”Magnus Gudmundsson, of Iceland University, flew over the volcano on Sunday and said information from heat cameras showed the temperatures at the crater had fallen-below 100℃.But he told the AFP news agency that nothing was promised and that the previous eruption at the volcano had lasted 13 months, from 1821—1823.“It stopped and started again several times with different intervals(间隔), so it's difficult to say, difficult to give a timeline，” he said.He also said it was impossible to say whether the neighbouring Katla Volcano—a much larger mountain—might also erupt.At the height of its activity, the volcano sent out huge clouds of ash, which led to airlines grounding their planes for fear it could interfere with plane engines.It was the biggest action of closing airspace in Europe since World War Ⅱ，and affected at least 10 million passengers worldwide.1．What do experts think Eyjafjallajokull is like now?A．Magma is still coming out.B．The hole appears about 100℃.C．The eruption was not over.D．It is very cold.2．How do experts know the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole?A．By taking photos.B．By taking its temperature.C．By going close to it.D．By driving past it.3．What does Steinunn Jakobsdottir think of Eyjafjallajokull?A．It will erupt again soon.B．It will be sleeping.C．Another mountain might also erupt.D．It's uncertain.4．What do you think the main idea is?A．The biggest action of closing airspace in Europe.B．The temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole.C．The Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland.D．The earthquake in Iceland.(三)BEIJING—China's Beijing and Shanghai cities and Guangdong Province on Sunday published plans to gradually allow migrant workers' children to enter senior high schools and sit college entrance exams locally.They are the latest in a total of 13 provinces and municipalities(市) to formulate plans to ensure that rural children who have followed their parents to cities can enjoy the same rights as their urban peers in education.Beijing will allow migrant workers' children to attend local vocational schools in 2013 and allow them to be matriculated by universities after graduating from the vocational programs in 2014, said a statement from the city's commission of education.Shanghai took a step further, saying it will allow migrant children in the city to enter local senior high schools, vocational schools and sit college entrance exams (commonly known as gaokao) locally starting in 2014.Guangdong has asked its cities to start recruiting(招收) migrant workers' children in local senior high schools in 2013. The province will allow these children to sit gaokao and compete with local residents in college entrance exams starting in 2016. Luo Weiqi said the restrictions would be relaxed gradually and “step by step” as the province must solve the conflict between its gigantic migrant population and a scarcity of education resources.Migrant workers, whose children could be benefited by the new plans of the three regions, must have residential permits, stable jobs and incomes, and meet other local requirements, according to the plans.China's hukou, or household registration system, used to confine children to attending schools in their home provinces. A regulation in 2003 amended this by allowing migrant workers' children to receive the nine-year compulsory education in cities where their parents worked.Official figures show that China has more than 250 million farmers­turned­workers living in cities. An estimated 20 million children have migrated with their parents to the cities.1．What's the best title of this passage?A．China's educational reform on the wayB．Migrants' dreams come trueC．Reform plans published for migrant children's educationD．Migrants ask for equal rights in education2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Beijing，Shanghai and Guangdong took the lead in making plans for migrant children's education.B．There are altogether 13 provinces and municipalities that have made plans for migrant children's education.C．Beijing will allow migrant workers' children to enter all the local schools in 2013.D．Migrant workers' children began to receive senior high school education in cities where their parents worked in 2003.3．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “confine”？A．Limit. B．Prevent.C．Protect. D．Resist.4．Which of the following statements can be inferred according to the passage?A．Guangdong will allow migrant workers' children to sit gaokao locally in 2016.B．China's hukou is now no longer important and should be cancelled.C．The Chinese government should continue deepening the educational reform.D．It is likely that not all migrant workers' children can enter senior high schools or sit gaokao in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong with the new plans published.专题限时训练(三十)(一)【要点综述】本文讲述了著名的智能手机生产商苹果公司在中国的销售遇到了很大的挑战，并分析了苹果公司新的对策和做法。
