2013届高中新课标英语二轮总复习（湖南用）限时训练讲义：第20讲主旨大意题（ 2013高考）第二十讲主旨大意题(1)(8 min.)It's hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world — it affects wherewe choose to live, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national characteristics. Studies have shown that changeable weather can make it difficult to concentrate, cloudy skies slow down reaction, and high humidity with hot, dry winds makes many people bad-tempered.If you live in a place like Britain, where the weather seems to change daily if not hourly, you could be forgiven for thinking that the weather is random. In fact, the weather is controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe. In the UK the weather depends on depressions, often called lows, and anticyclones, also known as highs. These systems start in the Atlantic Ocean, and make their way across the British Isles from the west to the east. Highs bring sunny weather, while lows bring rain and wind. In modern times, human activities seem to be altering weather patterns. Gases produced by heavy industry change the temperature of the Earth's surface, and affect cloud formation. Some researchers say that factories in Europe and North America may have been one of the causes of the droughts in Africa in the 1980s.The human race has always tried to guess the weather, especially in areas of the world where there are frequent changes. Traditional rhymes point to early attempts to identify weather patterns, popular poems include:Red sky at night, shepherds' delight; red sky in the morning, shepherds' warning.Flies will swarm(云集) before a storm.Rain before 7, clear by 11.While folk wisdom can still provide a guide to help forecast weather, today's methods of prediction increasingly rely on technology. Satellites, balloons, ships, aircrafts and weather centers withsensitive monitoring equipment, send data to computers. The data is then processed, and the weather is predicted. However, even this systemcannot predict weather for longer than about a week.1. When weather keeps changing, ______.A. people become bad-temperedB. people's reaction slows downC. people find it hard to focus on their workD. people become hungrier2. What is mainly talked about in the second paragraph?A. Changes in weather.B. Weather in Britain.C. African droughts.D. Research on weather.3. The weather in Britain is ______.A. randomB. moistC. depressingD. satisfying4. According to a traditional rhyme, if there is a red sky at night, the next day will be ______.A. windyB. rainyC. fineD. snowy5. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Anticyclones often bring rain and wind.B. Weather forecasting has been done for a long time.C. Weathercould never be predicted.D. Modern methods of weather prediction are developed from folk wisdom.(2)(8 min.)(2012?雅礼月考三)Time was running out, and Mark Dickinson wasn'tsure whether he'd get to see his dying 2-year-old grandson one last time.A long line at Los Angeles International Airport's security checkpoint had kept him from getting to his gate on time.

第二十一讲词义猜测题(1)(8 min.)(2012·同心圆梦四模)It has been more than 10 months since I began living in Beijing. I was very excited when I got selected as a scholar to obtain my master's degree from China through Pakistan-China Cultural Exchange Scholarship Program.Along with being excited to get this opportunity, I was a little afraid about whether I can adjust or not in this completely different society. I had a misunderstanding that Chinese people are self-centered and impolite; and that they don't care about other people, especially non-Chinese speakers. But now, I have found people really very friendly and cooperative. They are a little shy at _breaking_the_ice_,_but once you start conversation with them, their response is very polite and pleasant.What has attracted me most until now is the loving Chinese kids — especially their friendly attitude. Once I went to ski at Badaling Skiing Resort in Beijing and I was completely surprised when I saw many kids between the ages of 4 and 8 putting on the skiing kits. I came to know that few of those kids were on the skiing tracks for very first time. The way kids were enjoying themselves really inspired me a lot. I noticed one of the kids for some time and I found that every time he fell down, he had a loving smile on his face and tried to get up, brushed the snow off his clothes and be ready for his next attempt.Due to introduction of English in kindergarten, many kids can speak some basic English, so they feel very excited when they see any foreigners and greet them. At our campus, many parents and grandparents bring their kids to play on the playground every day. Apart from playing, I found them very friendly at interacting with people as well. I really love the way I'm often greeted by passerby kids, saying “Hello” or “Hi”．Whenever I go for an outing, I never miss any chance to take some photographs with these smart kids because it's very loving when they make victory sign with their hands, which is the most common pose for photography among Chinese.I really feel short of words to describe my feelings for these little lovely stars. These kids are my favorite Chinese friends and they are what I like most in China.1. What's the passage mainly about?A. Loving Chinese kids.B. My learning experience in China.C. My favorite Chinese friends.D. A misunderstanding about China.2. The underlined part “breaking the ice” in Paragraph 2 means ______.A. being self-centered and impoliteB. starting a conversationC. being friendly and cooperativeD. caring about other people3. The author mentioned one of the kids in Paragraph 3 to tell us that Chinese kids ______.A. dare interact with peopleB. are smart and attentiveC. have positive attitudesD. are disappointed at failure4.

D.(2)(8 min.)(2012·浙江卷A篇)Easter(复活节) is still a great day for worship, randy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The _culprit_ is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.Take the Lower Keys March rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer — it lives on the islands! —but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0. 6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators(捕食者). As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies arc being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (迁徙) to higher ground — but they already occupy the mountain tops. They can't go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat beats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.1.

The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that ______.A. both are affected by less snowB. both are affected by rising sea levelsC. neither can find enough foodD. neither can migrate to higher places5.
