【剖析全国高考真题】——预测高考命题方向B【2018·天津卷】When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, "Do you have the address? ""No, but I'll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine. ""Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us."May I help you?" a man asked. "No, "I said. "We're fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in oneroom. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are? " he asked. I turned sharply. "The McNay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. "Well, it's our home." My heart jolted(震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately! ""There's some really good stuff(艺术作品) up there." She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, "Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place." Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn't believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. "Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?""Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.""That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I've always wanted to thank you."44. Why did the author describe the real McNay museum in just a few words?A. The real museum lacked enough artwork to interest her.B. She was too upset to spend much time at the real museum.C. The McNay was disappointing compared with the house.D. The event happening in the house was more significant.【答案】44. D[2012·全国卷Ⅰ，D]Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have neverpracticed ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and sti ll ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.68.The author explains the law of over learning by_________.A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples【答案】68. D【解析】【高考预测】纵观近几年全国高考试题，很少出现此类题型，但这一题型在地方高考和模拟试题中时有出现，因此不排除2019年全国高考试题可能会①设置1道篇章结构题，考查考生对整个篇章或其中的某个段落结构和脉络的把握。

高考英语阅读理解篇章结构分析技能一、科普类文章1.引出中心内容的方法(1)A but B。

这个时候B是文章的中心。

为了不让文章显得太突兀，一般会先讲A，即普通的内容(科普类文章一般介绍的是我们不太熟悉的内容)。

另外，A也有可能是一种欲扬先抑的写作手法，与B的意思正好相反。

Most animals have little connection with animals of adifferent kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership (伙伴关系) which does good to both of them. You may havenoticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they wanta ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so becausethey remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without eachother, they do better together.The idea of fighting a noise by making more noisesounds strange, but that’s exactlywhat motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries.(2) 用熟悉的事物作类比。

分析这一类的题我们看出：对文章组织结构的考查不外乎两个层次。

一是按段落的组织方法理解文章的结构，一是按写作方法（论证方法）理解文章的结构。

首先，看看这样考查从段落层次理解文章的结构。

这类题常常用到的提问方式是：Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? 常见的段落结构有如下几种状况：图1表明：①（Paragraph 1）是主题段（提出论题或论点），②、③段是就同一论据或者问题的同一方面作论述，④用另一论据材料或者从问题的另一方面论述，⑤段是结论段或者是用来重述论题、强调论点的段落。

高考英语专题练习（七）阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题（测）There are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物）in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana’s Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world’s most exciting wildlife journeys.Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face, it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace, with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impress ive. As the sun’s rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.2．The author introduces the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by________.A．following space orderB．following time orderC．making classificationsD．giving examples3．Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys （调查）on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context（背景）of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does thepossibility of f requent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents —today’s grandparents — would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.3．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?（）4．【贵州省遵义航天高级中学高三第四次模拟】When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to abusiness or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and self-centered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensi ons and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can’t find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances i n medicine.With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual’s freedom and right to work and can deprive（剥夺）society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.4．The passage is arranged as follows ________5．【陕西省咸阳市武功县高三上学期摸底考试】Salvador Dali （1904-1989）was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory.

The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities（无限）. “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration（合作）with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.5．How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali? ________A．By popularityB．By time and subject.C．By size and shapeD．By importance.阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题（测）答案1~5 ABBAB阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题（测）解析1．【文章大意】随着现代科技的发展，树荫下种植的咖啡产量越来越少，取而代之的是受到阳光暴晒的考费。

高考英语阅读理解专题训练AThe term “helicopter parents”refers to “a style of parents who are over focused on their children”．Helicopter parents are always making a big push to provide children with every opportunity to succeed，from baby steps at age 1，homework at age 8，college application at age 18，employment issues at age 25 to family problems at age 30,40 or even older.They constantly shadow the child，always directing his behavior，allowing him zero alone time.Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons.Worries about the economy，the job market，and the world in general can push parents toward taking more control over their child’s life in an attempt to protect them.Adults who felt unloved or ignored as children can overcompensate their own children.When parents see other overinvolved parents，it can cause a similar response.They feel that if they don’t involve themselves in their children’s lives，they are bad parents.The main problem with helicopter parenting is that it can backfire.To give an example，the house where Mary lived with roommates was broken into and things were stolen.Mary called the landlord(房东) to install an alarm system，but before she could finish the negotiations(协商)，her mother rushed in and demanded action.“I felt like my mother ruined my communication with our landlord.We could have gotten it done ourselves.She was well intended but only made me feel annoyed and defeated，”says Mary.Obviously，overparenting is motivated with the idea of doing good things but it does the exact opposite.In the long run parents are actually damaging their child’s basic skills to deal with matters independently.It makes the child feel lacking in confidence，less competent in dealing with the stresses of life on their own.They’re winning the battle，but actually losing the war.语篇解读本文为说明文。

阅读微技能训练5—篇章结构题(2) 巩固练习(A) Does Speed Reading Take the Joy Out of Reading?A common enough remark is that speed reading takes the joy out of reading. However, is this entirely fair? To answer this, we need to look at some of the reasons why we need speed reading.It should always be in your mind that speed reading is a skill. Actually, it is adopted in certain situations and it's not always necessarily a skill you need to apply every time you read something.An example, if you are in bed reading the latest novel, it is unlikely that you are going to read fast. The reason： first, you have spent money on it； second, because the atmosphere in which to read is one of relaxation and taking things easy. If we now change the scene to one where we are reading the latest financial report from a company, even if we are doing this in bed, the environment has changed. The need and reason why we read in these two scenes is not the same. In the former we relax in comfort. In the latter we are in a professional way. Clearly in the latter, where we want to be done with the reading and off to sleep, we can adapt our speed reading skills and in the former we may choose not to. In other words, speed reading skill is a “horses for courses” skill. Apply them at times when you need to read something really fast, but not when you don't need to.Furthermore, as your reten tion(记忆) rates are usually better with speed reading, it is often a good idea that you speed reading at times when you have a special need to understand and retain the information. It is far more likely that understanding and retaining the information in the financial report is go-ing to be more beneficial to you, so use your speed reading skills at this time so that you can increase your chances of understanding and retaining.As you can see then, having the ability to be able to speed reading will al-low you the choice of reading faster, or slower. It's about having choices.1.What does “horses for courses” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Changing behavior and attitudes towards reading.B. Applying speed reading according to the situation.C. Using advanced skills in reading difficult materials.D. Reading attentively without being interrupted.2.In paragraph 3, how does the author try to make readers accept his opinion?A. By using figures.B. By telling stories.C. By setting up examples.D. By asking questions.3.What idea is presented in Paragraph 4 ？A. Speed reading is a special need in increasing reading chances.B. Readers will remember more information with speed reading.C. Reading more financial reports is more beneficial to readers.D. Retention rates are usually better when reading novels.4.The article is written to________.A. argue that speed reading is readers' choiceB. present the characteristics of speed readingC. persuade readers to do speed readingD. show how to do speed reading(B)We can offer you a place at one of the best universities in Britain.

However, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole world of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a well-known scientist. While schooling tries something that can be predicted, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from babies on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral (不可或缺的) part of one's life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at about the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.10.What does the author probably mean by “children interrupt education to go toschool”?A. The more years students go to school, the worse their education is.B. People are engaged in education the whole life.C. Children go to school just to make trouble.D. Schooling is not educationally beneficial.11.The phrase “For example” in the last paragraph introduces a sentence thatgives examples of______.A. the slices of reality that are to be learnedB. the result of schoolingC. limitations of classroom teachingD. the similarities of all schools12.Which of the following conclusions does the passage support?A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant.B. Education systems need to be thoroughly reformed.C. Education involves many years of competence training.D. Going to school is only part of one's education.13.The passage is written in the way of_________.A. contrasting the meaning of two related wordsB. giving examples of different kinds of educationC. listing and discussing several educational problemsD. providing facts to support an argument(D)Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲狮) saw Jeb and his son, Tom before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar's enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.“Tom, no, “shouted his father.But Tom broke and ran and that's the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists.

Are you a positive, confident person or are you shy and reserved? Do you face problems, looking for solutions, or do you find someone to blame? Characteristics define you. They help you succeed, or they hold you back.Self-awareness, or understanding the factors that make up your personality, is an important step towards happiness, and happiness is the key characteristic of a good attitude. To become self-aware is to be aware of both your good and bad characteristics.What are the characteristics that people compliment(恭维) on you? Are you “dependable”, “responsible”, or “solid”? Pay attention t o the compliment because they are a confirmation of your strongest characteristics. Y ou can use these characteristics to create an even better image.People form opinions about you. Whether they are right or wrong doesn't enter the equation. You, however, can change their opinions by demonstrating the personality characteristics and attitudes that match the way you want to be viewed. In becoming self-aware, understanding how others see you is an important step. This can be painful； but if you are brave enough to try it, it can be an excellent growth experience.Change is not easy, especially when it has to do with your behaviors. You should break the behavior change into small steps because small steps are easier to achieve and more likely to last. The change will be permanent if you want to change for yourself.18.The author mentions Miguel in order________.A. to show the importance of personalityB. to introduce the topic of the passageC. to tell us that Miguel is a changeable personD. to give us an example of multiple pers onality19.The purpose for writing this passage is to_______.A. help you to get along well with othersB. give you advice on how to be happyC. help you to get rid of our bad behaviorsD. help you to develop a good personality20.

You shoul dn’t be. Just take a look around the next time you’re on the subway or riding the bus: It seems that just about everyone these days is busily tapping away on their phones, playing games and sending e-mails.For technology companies, smartphones are the biggest business around. Apple’s iPhone is now worth more than some of the largest companies in the world, including Mi crosoft. But it’s not just the corporations making the money. The smartphone boom has provided opportunities for people to make and sell their own apps.Nick D’Aloisio, just 17 years old, hit the news headlines in November for making a brand new app for reading news, called Summly, which cleverly uses equations (方程式) to turn stories into short summaries. I t shot up to number nine in the charts just two hours after its release in the US. But he’s not the only young person seizing this opportunity.So where will smartphones go next? A lot of new ideas have been proposed. Google, for example, has recently shown off a type of smartphone you can actually wear like a pair of glasses. If successful, this new product promises to pave a new future for communicating. However, there are others who argue that smartphone makers have reached a limit i n revolutionary ideas. Either way, there’s no sure way of predicting the future. After all, who can tell when a groundbreaking (开创性的) idea might hit them?But perhaps there are bigger questions than this.“I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction,” Albert Einstein once said. “The world will have a generation of idiots.”This statement is beginning to ring true. If our grandparents had been told that in the year 2012 everyone would walk around looking at computers in their hands, would they have believed it?In an ever-connected world of social networks, have we actually become unsociable? Is the fascination turning into a dangerous addiction? There are certainly positive and negative aspects of the smartphone culture. We hope you enjoy this exploration into some of them.21. With the example of Nick D’Aloisio, the author intends to tell us that _____.A. the new app for reading news has been well received since its releaseB. the smartphone boom has inspired many people to make apps and succeedC. there is an increasing demand for news readi ng with the popularity ofsmartphonesD. many corporations and people earn money by making and selling apps forsmartphones22. What is one of the bigger questions facing us in the era of smartphones accordingto the last tw o paragraphs?A. Overuse of technology.B. The limit in revolutionary ideas.C. The loss of human interaction.D. Trouble with new ways ofcommunication.23. Which of the following best shows the structure of the article?。

篇章结构（阅读学案）“七选五”阅读理解题，试题模式为：给出一篇缺少5个句子的文章，对应有七个选项，要求同学们根据文章结构、内容，选出正确的句子，填入相应的空白处。

《考试说明》对该题型命题目的的表述为“主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。

”新题型七选五其实跟传统题型完形填空有相似之处，完形填空空出的是词，而七选五空出的是句子，但是他们的考察方式都是一样的，只要考生选择的答案能够使行文连贯，符合英文的语法以及习惯表达就行，因此，这两类题型在做题方法上有共通之处。

另外，从该题型给出的选项中我们可以发现一些特点：该题型选项大致可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。

另外两个多余的干扰项也可以通过这三个特点来排除，例如主旨概括句要么过于宽泛要么以偏概全或偏离主题，过渡性句子不能反映文章的行文结构，注释性句子与上文脱节等。

七选五题型选项大致可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。

1、先看选项。

我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的位置。

另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子，这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。

2、再看空前空后。

由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。

3、注意代词或定冠词。

在做这类题目的时候，一定要注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词，因为我们知道，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型，我们要做的就是从选项中找这类句型就可以了。

4、注意一些特殊疑问词。

如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的，比如对why的回答，后面要有because等表原因的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地点的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方式状语等。

II 、解题策略[Example 1]: The Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet ...We are surrounded by the word “diet ” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling theconsumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthyfoods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight forthe scale( 秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet ” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe thatgain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is timeto seriously think about buying them. Loosing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.1. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?Tip 1 ：__________________________________________________________________________________ [Practice 1] The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before: changes for the better, changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views.It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe; it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings ：in pure science —a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning ；in applied science —a more reasonable shari ng of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.William Shakespeare said, “ The web of our life is of a mingled yarn（纱线） , good and ill together. ” The above brief review of the application of only onepart of human activities —science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But doesit have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?1.

高考英语专题练习（七）阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题（讲）一、阅读理解Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.1．The author explains the law of over learning by（）A．presenting research findingsB．setting down general rulesC．making a comparisonD．using examples二、考点篇章结构题【例1】According to sociologists(社会学家), every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification(阶层). Class, power and status are important in deciding people’s rank in society.Class means a person’s economic position in society. A commonly used classification is lower class, middle class and upper class. While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the United States quite well. One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class, 46% the middle class, and 1% the upper class. Interestingly, a surgeon earning $500, 000 a year and a bus driver earning $50, 000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class!Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people. Obviously, people in positions of great power (such as governors) exercise(行使) big power, but people who take orders from others have less power.Power and class do not always go hand in hand, however. For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding(相应的) economic class. Generally, however, there is a relationship between power and class. To our knowledge, there aren’t too many people who aren’t millionaires in the U.S. Senate!Status is the honor or respect attached to a person’s position in society. It can also be aff ected by power and class, but not necessarily so. For example, a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others.(2013陕西C) 2．Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?（）(P: Paragraph)【例2】Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.

With 97% of the world’s water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage(短缺)seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world’s agriculture industries experience constant water shortages.Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution(重新分配)are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys(山谷) are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation(灌溉). In Texas, farmers’ overu se of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed.Saudi Arabia’s attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.（2010安徽卷,E）4．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?（）A．Steps to improve water use managementB．Ways to reduce the costs of building damsC．Measures to deal with worldwide water shortagesD．Approaches to handle the pressure on water supply三、【变式精练】【黑龙江省双鸭山市第一中学2017届高三9月月考】The main reason people come to America is said to be that they can chase the American Dream. Everyone has heard of it, and many have died fighting for it. The only thing is that there is no clear definition of the American Dream. It is not defined by one dream, but by all the opportunities that the United States offers. Since the founding of the United States, people have been striving to define the American Dream.In the play Death of a Salesman, every character is trying to realize his own version of the American Dream. Willy feels that he has done so. He has spent his whole life as a not very successful salesman. As he gets older, hestarts having conflicts with everyone in his life, and feels that only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy.Bernard, on the other hand, feels that the American Dream can only be achieved through career success. He shows that through hard work and dedication he will be crowned with success.The dialogue of the characters reveals the different attitudes they have toward the American Dream, and the reaction of Willy to the fact that Bernard is very successful while he is not.Many people try to achieve the American Dream, but few actually do so. As with any goal, it takes hard work and dedication to achieve the American Dream. In Death of a Salesman, all aspects of this goal are examined. For the goal to be achieved, the dream must be an attainable one which is worth working toward. It also must be a dream that the professional world accepts and finds useful.5．What would be the correct structure of the text?（）（2011安徽卷,B）Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.

2019-2020年高考英语阅读微技能训练篇章结构题(2)A mon enough remark is that speed reading takes the joy out of reading. However, is this entirely fair? To answer this, we need to look at some of the reasons why we need speed reading.It should always be in your mind that speed reading is a skill. Actually, it is adopted in certain situations and it's not always necessarily a skill you need to apply every time you read something.An example, if you are in bed reading the latest novel, it is unlikely that you are going to read fast. The reason： first, you have spent money on it； second, because the atmosphere in which to read is one of relaxation and taking things easy. If we now change the scene to one where we are reading the latest financial report from a pany, even if we are doing this in bed, the environment has changed. The need and reason why we read in these two scenes is not the same. In the former we relax in fort. In the latter we are in a professional way. Clearly in the latter, where we want to be done with the reading and off to sleep, we can adapt our speed reading skills and in the former we may choose not to. In other words, speed reading skill is a “horses for courses”skill. Apply them at times when you need to read something really fast, but not when you don't need to.Furthermore, as your retention(记忆) rates are usually better with speed reading, it is often a good idea that you speed reading at times when you have a special need to understand and retain the information. It is far more likely that understanding and retaining the information in the financial report is go-ing to be more beneficial to you, so use your speed reading skills at this time so that you can increase your chances of understanding and retaining.As you can see then, having the ability to be able to speed reading will al-low you the choice of reading faster, or slower. It's about having choices.1.What does “horses for courses” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Changing behavior and attitudes towards reading.B. Applying speed reading according to the situation.C. Using advanced skills in reading difficult materials.D. Reading attentively without being interrupted.2.In paragraph 3, how does the author try to make readers accept his opinion?A.

Readers will remember more information with speed reading.C. Reading more financial reports is more beneficial to readers.D. Retention rates are usually better when reading novels.4.The article is written to________.A. argue that speed reading is readers' choiceB. present the characteristics of speed readingC. persuade readers to do speed readingD. show how to do speed readingWe can offer you a place at one of the best universities in Britain.

However, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole world of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a well-known scientist. While schooling tries something that can be predicted, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from babies on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral (不可或缺的) part of one's life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at about the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their munities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.10.What does the author probably mean by “children interrupt education to go toschool”?A. The more years students go to school, the worse their education is.B. People are engaged in education the whole life.C. Children go to school just to make trouble.D. Schooling is not educationally beneficial.11.The phrase “For example” in the last paragraph introduces a sentence thatgives examples of______.A. the slices of reality that are to be learnedB. the result of schoolingC. limitations of classroom teachingD. the similarities of all schools12.Which of the following conclusions does the passage support?A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant.B. Education systems need to be thoroughly reformed.C. Education involves many years of petence training.D. Going to school is only part of one's education.13.The passage is written in the way of_________.A. contrasting the meaning of two related wordsB. giving examples of different kinds of educationC. listing and discussing several educational problemsD. providing facts to support an argument(D)Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲狮) saw Jeb and his son, Tom before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar's enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.“Tom, no, “shouted his father.But Tom broke and ran and that's the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar's claws got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye. Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.“Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.The boy ran to his father's bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hit-ting, to keep the cougar's attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar's back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.14.Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?A. To get ready to fight.B. To frighten it away.C. To protect the boy.D. To cool down.15.What do we know about cougars?A. They are afraid of noises.B. They hesitate before they hit.C. They are bigger than we think.D. They like to attack running people.16.How did Jeb try to hold the cougar's attention?A. By keeping shouting and hitting.B. By making a wall out of his arms.C. By throwing himself on the cougar.D. By swinging his fists at the cougar's eyes.17.Which of the following happened first?A. The cougar jumped from the rock.B. Tom struggled free of his father.C. Jeb asked Tom to get the knife.D. Jeb held Tom across his body.(E)Miguel's co-workers don't quite understand him. One day he's smiling and friendly, a real team player. The next day, he's cross, getting angry over minor things, especially when asked to improve one of his designs.Identifying your personality characteristics is the first step in developing a good attitude. Are you a positive, confident person or are you shy and reserved? Do you face problems, looking for solutions, or do you find someone to blame? Characteristics define you. They help you succeed, or they hold you back.Self-awareness, or understanding the factors that make up your personality, is an important step towards happiness, and happiness is the key characteristic of a good attitude. To bee self-aware is to be aware of both your good and bad characteristics.What are the characteristics that people pliment(恭维) on you? Are you “dependable”, “responsible”, or “solid”? Pay attention to the pliment because they are a confirmation of your strongest characteristics. You can use these characteristics to create an even better image.People form opinions about you. Whether they are right or wrong doesn't enter the equation. You, however, can change their opinions by demonstrating the personality characteristics and attitudes that match the way you want to be viewed. In being self-aware, understanding how others see you is an important step. This can be painful； but if you are brave enough to try it, it can be an excellent growth experience.Change is not easy, especially when it has to do with your behaviors. You should break the behavior change into small steps because small steps are easier to achieve and more likely to last. The change will be permanent if you want to change for yourself.18.The author mentions Miguel in order________.A. to show the importance of personalityB. to introduce the topic of the passageC. to tell us that Miguel is a changeable personD. to give us an example of multiple personality19.The purpose for writing this passage is to_______.A. help you to get along well with othersB. give you advice on how to be happyC. help you to get rid of our bad behaviorsD. help you to develop a good personality20. You should be self-aware because________.A. it may help you on the way to successB. it is a matter of failure or successC. it will surely make you happy and successfulD. it helps you to create a better image21.What may be talked about after this passage?A. Detailed steps of changing your behaviors.B. Why it is important to improve yourself.C. Why it is hard to change your personality.D. Tips on how to get along well with others.(F) A new phone eraCHINA was predicted to bee the world’s top smartphone market by the end of xx, overtaking the US, according to forbes. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Just take a look around the next time you’re on the subway or riding the bus: It seems that just about everyone these days is busily tapping away on their phones, playing games and sending e-mails.For technology panies, smartphones are the biggest business around. Apple’s iPhone is now worth more than some of the largest panies in the world, including Microsoft. But it’s not just the corporations making the money. The smartphone boom has provided opportunities for people to make and sell their own apps.Nick D’Aloisio, just 17 y ears old, hit the news headlines in November for making a brand new app for reading news, called Summly, which cleverly uses equations (方程式) to turn stories into short summaries. It shot up to number nine in the charts just two hours after its release in t he US. But he’s not the only young person seizing this opportunity.So where will smartphones go next? A lot of new ideas have been proposed. Google, for example, has recently shown off a type of smartphone you can actually wear like a pair of glasses. If successful, this new product promises to pave a new future for municating. However, there are others who argue that smartphone makers have reached a limit in revolutionary ideas. Either way, there’s no sure way of predicting the future. After all, who can tell when a groundbreaking (开创性的) idea might hit them?But perhaps there are bigger questions than this.“I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction,” Albert Einstein once said. “The world will have a generation of idiots.”This statement is beginning to ring true. If our grandparents had been told that in the year xx everyone would walk around looking at puters in their hands, would they have believed it?In an ever-connected world of social networks, have we actually bee unsociable? Is the fascination turning into a dangerous addiction? There are certainly positive and negative aspects of the smartphone culture. We hope you enjoy this exploration into some of them.21. With the example of Nick D’Aloisio, the author intends to tell us that _____.A. the new app for reading news has been well received since its releaseB. the smartphone boom has inspired many people to make apps and succeedC. there is an increasing demand for news reading with the popularity ofsmartphonesD. many corporations and people earn money by making and selling apps forsmartphones22. What is one of the bigger questions facing us in the era of smartphones accordingto the last two paragraphs?A. Overuse of technology.B. The limit in revolutionary ideas.C. The loss of human interaction.D. Trouble with new ways ofmunication.23. Which of the following best shows the structure of the article?。
