专项39 阅读理解之说明文＂英语说明文＂，顾名思义，就是一种以＂说明、解释＂为主要表达方式的英语文体。

它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等作科学解说的。

它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写，也不像议论文那样，重在阐明主张和论点论据；更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。

说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理，使人们增长知识和技能。

说明文是高考英语阅读理解题中的重点内容之一。

说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法，因此说明文结构复杂，专业术语多，易于拉开考生分数档次，便于高校分层次选拔人才。

然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高，解题难度大。

高考对说明文的考查多为科普知识，动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文，文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。

因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点，叙述方式，以冷静的心态阅读原文，重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系，以便对其做出准确的语意理解。

说明文阅读理解的特征一般说来，英语说明文与其他文体一样，文章所涉及的内容不外乎以下几个方面，即who → what → when → where → how → why。

1. who：问的是这篇文章的主体是谁？（即所要说明和描述的人或事物）2. what：问的是主体做了什么事情？（即主体表现出的特性、功能和用途）3. when和where：是在何时何地发生的？（即何时何地所表现出的特性、功能和用途）4. how：通过什么方式表现出来的？5. why：这种特性功能用途的原因是什么？做说明文阅读理解题的时候，一定要记住上面的wh-word。

边阅读，边搜记，牢记要点，把握全文。

A（2022·西藏·中考真题）The Fuxing train has started running in southwest China’s Tibet along the Lhasa—Nyingchi Railway(拉萨—林芝铁路).The 435-kilometer railway links Lhasa and Nyingchi. It is China’s first electrified(电气化的) railroad on the “Roof of the World”. It shortens the journey between Lhasa and Nyingchi fromover five hours to about 3.5 hours.The new railway covers an area of 226,000 square kilometers. It goes through 47 tunnels (隧道) and crosses 121 bridges. The train has a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour. It is the fastest train on the high land, but it’s a bit slower than some other Fuxing trains in our country because of the special environment. The railway not only makes local people’s life easier, but also brings more tourists to the area.“The railway trip is so relaxing and fast. The new train has brought our family members closer than ever before,” said a teacher who lives in Nyingchi. She used to drive more than five hours from Nyingchi to Lhasa to visit her parents during the summer vacation.Besides carrying passengers, the railway also provides good chances for farmers to sell local products to more places. It’s sure to put new energy into Tibet’s economic(经济的) development. 1．How many hours does the journey take between Lhasa and Nyingchi by Fuxing train? A．About 5 hours.B．About 4 hours.C．About 3.5 hours.D．About 1.5 hours. 2．What’s the top speed of Fuxing train from Lhasa to Nyingchi?A．160 kilometers per hour.B．121 kilometers per hour.C．47 kilometers per hour.D．160 meters per hour.3．What does the underlined word “shortens” mean in Chinese?A．克扣B．下降C．缩短D．缺少4．What’s special about the Lhasa—Nyingchi Railway?A．It covers a large area.B．It can carry passengers.C．The train goes through lots of tunnels and bridges.D．It’s China’s first electrified railway on the “Roof of the World”.5．What can we learn from the passage?A．The railway trip is not relaxing or fast.B．The railway does not bring more tourists to the area.C．The train goes through 121 tunnels and 47 bridges.D．It’s a bit slower than some other Fuxing trains in our country.B（2022·江苏南京·中考真题）Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other. Then one day, Sue saw Jim’s music collection. She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned. At that moment, she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking. Sue said, “I thought we had nothing in common (相同) until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other.Some psychologists (心理学家) think that your taste in music is related to (有联系的) your personality. As part of a test at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, volunteers created a CD of their favourite songs. The volunteers then listened to each other’s CDs and made guesses about the CD creator’s personality—outgoing, adventurous, happy, and so on. These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others’ personalities through their CDs than through their clothesor taste in films. For example, Sue and Jim love punk music, which means they have outgoing personalities.The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative. People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong (jazz) fans tend to (倾向于) be serious and intelligent. While fans of classical music are also likely to enjoy jazz music and tend to be shy. The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.C（2022·重庆璧山·一模）Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood powered or coal powered stoves.One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment (设备) powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the “Sol 4”. “It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker.”The “Sol 4” works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把……对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.Each cooker costs about $2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a nongovernmental (非官方) organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations (捐款) to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.16．The writer starts the passage by ________.A．comparing facts B．sharing experiences C．listing numbers D．giving reasons 7．The underlined word “individuals” most probably means “________”.A．cookers B．people C．mirrors D．experts 18．Which of the following about the “Sol 4” is TRUE ?A．It is six to eight square meters of mirrors.B．It can work in any weather condition now.C．It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.D．It is more environment-friendly than other cookers.19．From the passage, we can infer that ________.A．the “Sol 4” will be designed in a smaller sizeB．more Africans can use the solar cookers in the futureC．the “Sol 4” is the first product of the South African companyD．the African government will provide poor people with solar cookerD（2022·重庆开州·二模）◆Facial-recognition(人脸识别) cameras are everywhere, even in your smartphone. Many people use this technology to unlock their phones, open doors, or make quick payments. But during the pandemic(疫情), can it still work when people put on masks?◆The answer is no. Scientists are trying to solve this problem. For example, Engineering & Technology(E＆T) magazine reports that Hanwang, a tech company in Beijing, has made a new system(系统). It can recognize 95 percent of people when they wear masks.◆What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes.◆Marios Savides from Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition. As we get older, he says, our faces change shape. But the area around our eyes doesn’t. It stays the same—even if we put on weight. As long as there are enough data(数据) from the area of our eyes, the cameras can recognize us.◆Tech 5 is another facial-recognition company. The Swiss company’s product scans(扫描) the shape of your face. It also scans your iris(虹膜), which is the colored part of your eyes. Tech 5 hopes to leave out(忽略) all of the face below the nose.◆This kind of software is more important than just unlocking your phone. “It can search for criminals(罪犯) and terrorists(恐怖分子) even when they wear masks,” said Huang-Lei from Hanwang. Hanwang’s technology is used by Chinese police in places like subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force.◆Huang pointed out one big weakness: it fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Lei said to E&T.20．The writer leads to the topic(话题) by ________.A．giving an example B．telling stories C．listing numbers D．raising a problem 21．The new system can recognize 95 percent people by scanning ________.A．the face B．the eyes C．the nose D．the mouth22．We can infer that the new system ________.A．can recognize all people with masks in the futureB．can help the police to look for criminalsC．has brought plenty of money to Tech 5D．can recognize a person even when he loses some weight 23．The best structure of this passage is ________.A．B．C．D．专项39 阅读理解之说明文＂英语说明文＂，顾名思义，就是一种以＂说明、解释＂为主要表达方式的英语文体。

And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old.Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking(咔塔) sounds with his tongue（舌头）to help him move around. Much like a bat(蝙幅), he now moves about using sonar(声呐). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic. He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.How does sonar work?＂When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images(图像). It’s like having a conversation with the environmentWhen you click, what do you see in your mind?"Each click is like a camera flash. I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every direction.＂What is it like riding a bike using sonar?＂It’s exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second,, much more than I usually do.＂Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?"Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. I have a habit of climbing anything and everything, but I never broke a bone(骨头) as a kid.＂How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?＂Many students are surprised how quickly results come.

The problems seem to get worse as they get older. Year 7 students sleep 8.4 hours on a school night, and year 9 students only 6.9 hours.It is also reported that not getting enough sleep can cause problems in a student’s life. Many students fall asleep in school or while doing their homework, so it is not surprising that they get lower grades than those who get enough sleep. Scientists suggest nine hours a night for middle school students.Of the students who feel un happy and nervous, 73% don’t get enough sleep at night.Why aren’t students getting enough sleep? Many students have one of the following things, like telephone, television, or computer, in their bedrooms, using them on a school night not only takes their time away from homework, but also makes it difficult for them to fall asleep. As a result, many students can’t fall asleep before 11p.m., yet they must get up early to go to school.Scientists also suggest students should not do exciting activities for an hour before bedtime.51. According to the report, who might get the most sleep?A. Year 7 students.B. Year 8 students.C. Year 9 students.D. Year 10 students.答案: A答题依据:第一段The problems seem to get worse as they get older.

Itcould be getting warmer on its own, but many scientists think that people are makingthe Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect (温室效应). The greenhouse effectis important. Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough for us to live on. Butjust a little warmer than it is now could cause problems for humans, plants andanimals.Many of things we do every day can change the Earth’s temperature by sendinggreenhouse gases into the air .We send greenhouse gases into the air when we watchTV ,turn on lights, dry hair, play video games, wash or dry our clothes or drivecars. The rubbish from factories and homes also produces greenhouse gases.Even a small change in temperature can affect our weather .This can cause changesin the sea levels, the air, flooding, and our fresh water.The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places foranimals and plants, endangering many animals.Global warming (全球变暖)is a big problem, and every little bit we do can help.We can save electricity. We can save energy in other ways such as by taking busesor walking rather than driving cars. We can recycle to reduce the rubbish and savenatural resourc es such as trees, oil and metals. We can buy products that don’tdo bad to the environment and we can turn to solar energy. Remember the little bitthat you do will bring a better world.52. Without the greenhouse effect, we would ____________.A. not be able to liveB. be saferC. have a cleaner earthD. have a better world答案: A答题依据:第一段The greenhouse effect is important.

His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a whitetruck.Of course, he delivered (分发) more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write a note —“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”. Then she put the note and the empty bottles into the milk box. The next day, the buttermilk would magically appear.There was also a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box in the house, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.I am sad that there is no home milk delivery today. Big companies produce cheaper milk, and milk is for sale everywhere. People may not need the milkman anymore.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside and it brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and put it outside the door. My son’s friends always ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship with his milk.52. The writer brought back home an old milk box because he _____.A. missed the good old daysB. wanted to tell funny storiesC. needed it for his milk bottleD. wanted to give it to the milkman答案: A答题依据: 最后一段I saw an old milk box in the countryside and it brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and put it outside the door.5.丰台一模B篇(中) (自然与环境)It is said that another acre of the world’s forest will be destroyed forever. Why is this happening? There are two reasons — land and wood. In many countries the trees have been cut down because the land was needed for animals or crops. In other parts of the world the trees are cut down because their wood is wanted. Thiswood is used by local people for firewood or it is used for building. But many people don’t know that in most places the trees won’t be replaced. The soil in the forests is very thin, but it is protected by the trees. When the trees are cut down, the soil is washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind. Soon nothing can be grown on it. The forest becomes a desert. Then more land will be needed, and more trees will be cut down.When the forest is destroyed, it isn’t only the trees that are lost — the homes of millions of animals and plants are destroyed, too. All kinds of animals are in danger — fish，reptiles, birds, mammals, insects, and shellfish — as well as thousands of plants.Who is to blame for this? The answer is simple: all of us. There are just too many people in the world. The world’s population is now six billion. Of course, it’s very easy to blame the local people. We don’t cut down trees. They do. But the products are bought by people like you and me — wood houses, beds, tables, chairs, paper… Why are the forests being destroyed? Just look around. You are probably using it right now.51. People cut down large areas of trees in order to ____.A. grow cropsB. keep animalsC. build housesD. get land and wood答案: D答题依据:第一句 It is said that another acre of the world’s forest will be destroyed forever. Why is this happening? There are two reasons — land and wood.6.东城二模C篇（中）（个人兴趣）Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete used to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the Louvre in Pairs or watching animals in Africa. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will tryto do the job himself.As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete where he got the idea from. He told me that his favourite source of ideas was a DIY programme on TV.This got me thinking about the popularity of DIY programs in the UK. Nearly every channel has at least one home or garden makeover show and there’s even a DIY satellite channel.I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain –“an Englishman’s home is his castle” and “there’s no place like home” – show how important our houses are to us. With the recent economic downturn, many peop le can’t afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice.But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were hurt while doing home improvements in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off steps and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by tools.I won’t be going down to the hardware（五金）store. I’d rather watch DIY on TV with a nice cup of tea!55．People in the UK __________.A. care little about their homesB. take DIY as an enjoyable jobC. like watching all TV programmesD. have enough money to spend on houses答案：B答题依据：由第一段Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.通过理解关键词和句意可知正确答案。

But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of(不管)age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure(血压).Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as ＂lazy＂. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don’t have much time to sleep. they only sleep four or five hours anight. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you’ll do.How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas an expert(专家) in sleep. He says , ＂Sleep is like a credit (信用卡) card. When you sleep less. you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don’t sleep, the more hours you should t sleep to ‘pay back’ the hours on your ‘sleepcredit card.’＂For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said. ＂Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish(愚蠢的) idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.＂5. According to the writer, the easiest and cheapest way to improve health is to .A. eat healthy food every dayB. take excrcisc as much as possibleC. get medical help whenever necessaryD. sleep eight hours or more every night6. What does ＂slecep-deprived＂mean in Paragraph 2?A. Having a good sleep.B. Excited about sleep.C. Having less sleep.D. Interested in sleep.7. According to Dr. James Maas, what is sleep like?A.

We can recycle some of our rubbish. Recycling means that the rubbish will be made into something that can be used again.Recycling helps Earth. And it saves space in rubbish dumps. Half of everything that we put into landfills could be recycled instead. In fact, most things made of paper, metal, glass and plastic can be recycled.Paper can be broken into small pieces and made into new paper. Steel and aluminum cans（金属雄）can be melted down（熔化）and made into new cans. The same is true of glass bottles. This can be done over and over again. Recycling doesn’t take as much energy as making these things the first time. So we can use less of Earth’s fuel resources.Plastic can be melted down, too. Then it can be formed into park benches, playgrounds and so on. Some people call plastic the "wood" of the future. Things made of plastic will last about 400 years-even if they stay outside in the weather. No wood can do that!10. The underlined word "landfills" in Paragraph 2 probably means _____________.A. bench factoriesB. places for rubbishC. green mountainsD. recycling centres11.

The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites, companies and governments. One set of data can have people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computerBig data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.13.

The boy tried to work it out himself. Through lots of research, Cress found out that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hopes of reducing plastic waste, he founded the Be Straw Free project in 2011.Cress started the project in his hometown – Burlington, V ermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order. It was a simple change. However, it would save money. And by doing that, the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent.For the years that followed, Cress tried to spread his project across the United States. More and more restaurants agreed to join. They stop providing the customer with a straw unless he or she asks for one. Last April, Seattle became the first American city to completely ban ( 禁止) plastic straws.Plastic pollution has been one of the most serious problems today. According to scientists, more than eight million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. Plastic straws are especially terrible. They make it easy for people to get comfortable with single-use plastics.After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has since spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world.

However, not all the people know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, scientists believe that 10% of the workers in Britain are becoming deaf because of the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and who weave cloth（织布）become deaf. Plenty of people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, because these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise which is produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant. It can make people ill or even drive them mad.It is said that a continuous noise of more than 85 decibels（分贝）can cause deafness.

There are a lot of myths about the human brain.One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we’ll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it’s absolutely not true! The truth is that although we don’t know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function (功能) . Modern scientists think the "10 percent myth" ridiculous (荒谬的) .The other most popular myth is about being "right brained" or "left brained". According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it’s also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally (相等地). "It’s true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence (证据) that creative people use the right side more or that scientific people use the left side more.We’ve talked about myths, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It’s also the fattest organ in your body. Here’s another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.31.
