阅读理解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.五、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎.猜词是应用英语阅读的重要能力,也是高考中常用的题型.它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇.我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜”,通过构词法,语法,定义,同位语,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义.Ⅱ.阅读理解常见问题及原因分析问题一：已经找对了题干与原文对应处,为何还做错？原因：①精确定位：要看清真正的问题,即用信息词定位之后,要看清句子逻辑关系,弄清意思.②学会看选项的方法：a．找最贴近原文意思的选项；b．去除选项间的相同信息,专门关注区别点；c．分清褒贬；d．分清程度大小,强烈关注选项中表内容的单词；e．看清范围,分清是整体还是局部.高频考点一正确选项特征在阅读理解的备考过程中,明确阅读理解常设选项的特征是快速准确锁定答案的关键.高考英语阅读理解的正确选项一般通过以下途径设置：关键词直接复现：直接复现类可从问题中找到关键词,以此为线索,运用略读及查阅的技巧迅速定位即可.此类题目较为简单,考查频率不高.对原文关键词进行同义转换、正话反说和细节概括：此类题目需对原文信息进行准确理解并简单推理,观察词义、词性及语态的变化.这是命题人常用的设题方式,复习时应掌握英语的多种表达法.一、同义转述从近几年的高考题来看,细节理解题不仅数量有所增加,而且难度也稍有加大,主要表现为题目信息与原文信息表达方式不一致.命题人一般会对文章细节加以转述来考查考生准确理解细节的能力.转述的主要方式有以下三种：1．同义词转化：把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词,设为正确选项.2．词性或语态等的变化：把原文中的词变换一下词性,或者改变原文句子的语态,用另一种表达转述原文信息.3．语言简化概括：把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化或概括成为正确答案.例1.(2019·全国卷Ⅰ)In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type t he word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic­like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.30．What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?A．It’ll be environment­friendly.B．It’ll reach consumers soon.C．It’ll be made of plastics.D．It’ll help speed up typing.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题.根据上段中的最后一句“The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.”可知,该研究团队希望在不久的将来将智能键盘推向市场,故选B.二、正话反说正话反说是阅读理解题目中的一个难点,通常有以下几个高频考向：1．It looks/sounds like/as if类：表示看/听起来好像是,实际上并不是.2．虚拟语气句：用虚拟语气来表述与事实相反的情况,让读者推断事实内容.3．让步论述：先假设作者的观点反面成立,从而引出一系列荒谬的、不合理的结果,倒过来证明作者观点的正确性.4．反问句.例2.(2019·北京卷)The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.38．How does the author feel about the solutions to the problem of robocalls?A．Panicked. B．Confused.C．Embarrassed. D．Disappointed.【答案】D【解析】推理判断题.根据上段中的“By the time these ‘solutions’(解决方案) become widely available, sc ammers will have moved onto cleverer means.”可知,等到这些“解决方案”被广泛使用时,不法分子就会转向更聪明的手段；由此可推知作者对自动语音电话问题的解决方案感到很失望,D项意为“失望的”,故选D.3. 理解概括阅读理解除了考查考生对细节信息的准确理解外, 还要求考生通过思维分析将信息进行归纳概括,使之系统化、条理化.例3.(2019·浙江卷)California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素)．The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected,from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源)．But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪)．Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.30．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D．Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California【答案】A【解析】标题归纳题.根据全文可知,文章主要讲述了美国加州森林中大树数量急剧下降的现象,并分析了其原因.因此A项能很好地概括全文.故选A.高频考点二干扰项特征高考英语阅读理解的错误选项就是命题人用以干扰考生思维的陷阱.高考英语中,由于词汇量的限制,挑选的文章不能过难.命题人就在问题和干扰项上做文章,使考生即使能基本读懂文章,也不能轻松做对题目.现在的干扰项不仅语言复杂,而且欺骗性强,两个语言水平相当、对文章理解程度相差不大的考生会因为对干扰项的辨别能力不同,而影响答题的准确率.为了提高辨别错误和干扰信息的能力,有必要分析干扰项的种种特征,使考生在命题人设置的种种陷阱前,做到胸有成竹.一、偷梁换柱干扰项用了与文章中某一句话相似的句型结构和单词,却在考生易忽视的地方换了几个单词,造成句意的改变.例1.(2019·全国卷Ⅰ·D片段)During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.32．What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?A．Unkind. B．Lonely.C．Generous. D．Cool.【答案】C【解析】推理判断题.根据上段的第一句“During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social s tatus.”可知,作者在小学时乐于分享.unkind“不友好的”,lonely“孤独的”,generous“慷慨的,大方的”,cool“酷的”,故选C.二、张冠李戴干扰项表述的内容在原文里可以找到信息依据, 但与题干所问的动作发出者不一致.不注意动作主语的差异, 张冠李戴, 极易造成误选.例2.(2019·全国卷Ⅲ)The AudienceHelen Mirren stars in the play by Peter Morgan, about Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ of the UK and her private meetings with twelve Prime Ministers in the course of sixty years. Stephen Daldry directs. Also starring Dylan Baker and Judith Ivey. Previews begin Feb.14.(Schoenfeld, 236 W．45th St.212­239­6200.)2．Who is the director of The Audience?A．Helen Mirren. B．Peter Morgan.C．Dylan Baker. D．Stephen Daldry.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题.题干问的是“谁执导了The Audience？”.根据该部分中的“Stephen Daldry directs.”可知答案.三、绝对化表达干扰项中出现如all, none, everyone, each, everything, impossible 等绝对化的表达, 一般不符合客观事实和原文信息.例3.(2019·江苏卷)Even more worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages. I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long­term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.62．The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should ________．A．take people’s essential needs into accountB．make their programmes attractive to peopleC．ensure that each child gets financial supportD．provide more affordable internet facilities【答案】A【解析】推理判断题.根据上段中的“The question,however,is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and...in rural villages.”可知,作者想通过事例说明捐赠者应该考虑人们的基本需求,而不要片面地认为有了高科技产品,受赠者的生活水平就会产生巨大飞跃.故选A.四、颠倒逻辑干扰项中出现语义逻辑的混乱, 即原文中出现的是A引起B, 而选项中是B引起A,考生可能看到了文中出现过的词语, 没有细研究其逻辑意义, 从而造成误选.例4.(2019·江苏卷)It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’sopinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.61．Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to ________．A．a lack of confidence in technologyB．a slow progress in technologyC．a conflict or public opinionsD．a waste of limited resources【答案】D【解析】细节理解题.根据上段中的“However,they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.”可知,对新技术影响的误判导致了对稀缺资源的误用,故选D.【高考题型解读】题型一、主旨大意题1．主旨大意题常分为两类：(1)选出文章最佳标题；(2)概括文章或段落大意.2．主旨大意题主要考查对文章进行概括或总结的能力,它要求在阅读短文时,能够提炼文章的中心思想,体会作者的写作意图,充分运用逻辑概括能力,透过字里行间获取文章最具代表性的观点、论点及作者的情感倾向.研读近几年高考阅读理解,可以发现对主旨大意类的考查占有相当重要的地位.【方法技巧】主旨大意题的三种思路：①寻找主题句,确定文章大意.在许多情况下,尤其是在阅读说明文和议论文时,根据其篇章特点我们可以通过寻找短文的主题句来归纳出文章的主题.主题句在文章中的位置通常有三种情况：开头、中间、结尾(或在开头结尾同时出现首尾呼应的主题句),因此,仔细阅读这类文章或段落的首尾句是关键.做主旨概括类试题多采用浏览法,即浏览文章的首段和尾段的首句或尾句或每段的首句或尾句,重点搜索主题信息.②抓住段落大意,概括中心思想.寻找整篇文章的中心思想的方法是建立在寻找各段落中心句的基础上.各段落中心句的整体归纳便是文章的中心思想.在这个过程中,不能仅依据只言片语或某一段落,而应该观察全文的结构安排,理解文章浓墨重笔的“重心”,考虑文章的材料及支撑性细节是服务于什么,分析故事情节围绕什么发展,最后用简明扼要的文字将文章的中心思想表达出来.③抓住文章主线和关键词语,归纳文章中心.不是所有的段落都有主题句,有时主题句隐含在段落中.阅读这样的文章,就需要自己根据文章的细节来分析,继而概括出段落的主题,推导出文章的主旨.分析的方法是,先弄清该段落主要讲了哪几个方面的内容,这些内容在逻辑上有什么联系,然后加以归纳形成主题.例1、(2019·江苏卷·D)The 65­year­old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s(阿尔兹海默症). He was losing his memory.A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family. Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family.Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep each night when she was young. She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father.Naomi, Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help.“Why do this？” Steve wondered.“Because she cares,” Melissa said.Steve nodded, tears in eye.Naomi dr ove to the Goodwin home. She told Steve she’d love to hear him play. Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys.Naomi put a small recorder near the piano. Starts and stops and mistakes. Long pauses, heart sinking. But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger.“It was beautiful,” Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.”Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was sill in Steve Goodwin. It was hidden in rooms with doors about to be locked.Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together. He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and then she’d take his place. He struggled to explain what he heard in his head.He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else.Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code: lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key. Steve heard it. All of it. He just couldn’t play it.Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve. It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song. One day, Naomi received an email. Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight. S teve called it “Melancholy Flower.”Naomi heard multiple stops and starts. Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him “honey” and encouraged him. The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting. Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece.Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal, songs. With Naomi’s help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve’s songs. Joni thoughtthat would be the end. But it wasn’t.In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind: “Melancholy Flower.”She told the director about her project with Steve. The director agreed to add it to the playing list. But Naomi would have to ask Steve’s permission. He considered it an honor.After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and professional. It needed to be shared in public.The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert. By the day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend.By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends. He knew the path his life was now taking. He told his family he was at peace.Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family. The house lights faded. Naomi took the stage. Her fingers. His heart.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文,叙述了Steve在家人、朋友的帮助下与病魔赛跑及众人努力拯救可能失传的“独家音乐”的感人故事.65．Why did Melissa want to save her father’s music?A．His music could stop his disease from worsening.B．She wanted to please her dying old father.C．His music deserved to be preserved in the family.D．She wanted to make her father a professional.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题.根据文章第二段可知,父亲Steve是一位钢琴爱好者,是家里唯一一位音乐家,再根据第三段中的“felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep each night when she was young”可知,父亲Steve的音乐陪伴了Melissa的成长,因此Melissa觉得它对于这个家庭来说有着特别的意义,值得被保存,故本题答案为C.66．After hearing Steve’s playing, Naomi ________．A．refused to make a comment on itB．was deeply impressed by his musicC．decided to free Steve from sufferingD．regretted offering help to her friend【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题.根据第十段“‘It was beautiful,’Naomi said after listeningto the recording.‘The music was worth saving.’”可知,听完他的演奏之后,Naomi对他的音乐很是赞赏,故本题答案为B.67．How can the process of Steve’s recording be described?A．It was slow but productive.B．It was beneficial to his health.C．It was tiresome for Naomi.D．It was vital for Naomi’s career.【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题.根据第十二段中的“Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together.

Joni praised h im, telling her husband this could be his signature piece.”可知,在Steve进行音乐创作时,他泄气过,甚至说过要放弃,而他的妻子Joni仍然鼓励他和表扬他,并称这会是他的“签名之作”.由signature一般表示“(文件结尾的)签名”可推知,Joni认为这会是她丈夫最后的创作,她之前并没有想到丈夫的音乐会有被公开演奏的一天.再结合下文中Steve的音乐在音乐会上被演奏并得到认可及其对Steve的影响的内容可知,Joni之前并没有完全认识到Steve的音乐的价值或其积极作用.故本题答案为C.69．How did Steve feel at the concert held in downtown Portland?A．He felt concerned about his illness.B．He sensed a responsibility for music.C．He regained his faith in music.D．He got into a state of quiet.【答案】D 【解析】细节理解题.根据文章最后两段的内容尤其是倒数第二段中的“He told his familyhe was at peace.”可知,在音乐会上,他心情很平静.故本题答案为D.70．What can be a suitable title for the passage?A．The Kindness of FriendsB．The Power of MusicC．The Making of a MusicianD．The Value of Determination【答案】B 【解析】标题归纳题.音乐让Steve在家人、朋友的帮助下展开了一场与病魔赛跑的接力赛,因此The Power of Music适合作文章的标题.题型二、细节理解题1．此类题型一般分两种情况；直接事实题(在原文中可直接找到答案,常见的类型有对号入座题、是非判断题、语意转换题、表格理解题等)以及间接事实题(需要将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语意上的转换).2．细节理解题要求考生对阅读材料中的某一具体事实和细节进行理解.有些问题,考生可以直接从文中找到明确的答案,但有些则需要在理解的基础上将有关信息进行处理,如计算、排序、判断、比较等.【技巧归纳】做事实细节题最基本也最常用的方法是题干定位法.一般在原文中找到相关的句子,然后进行比较和分析,便可确定答案.此类题通常用一些疑问词来提问,或是判断正误.【特别提醒】细节理解题的三个步骤：①浏览全文,了解信息.快速通读全文,大致了解不同信息间的差异,为解决问题做好信息储备.②抓关键词,快速寻读.根据题目要求,从题干中抓住关键性词语,以此为线索,通过略读和寻读的方法快速而准确地在文章中寻找与此问题相关的信息,找到后仔细阅读,反复品味,认真比较选项和文中细节,在准确理解该细节的前提下,排除干扰项,从而确定答案.③回读信息,验证答案.确定答案后,必须回读原文,再一次根据原文中的信息对选项进行验证.总之,对于细节理解题,我们要恰当地运用略读、查读等技巧,在文章中寻找与此问题相关的段落、语句,仔细品味,对照比较,确定答案.例2.(2019·江苏卷·A)Whatever your age or interests, Buxton has something to see or do to make your visit truly memorable.High_energyIf you desire physical activities, you can choose activities from swimming to horse riding.

(2019·全国卷Ⅰ)But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should...should...” Chris trips on the “­ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non­native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “...Vote for...me...” Except for some stumbles,_Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.25．What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Improper pauses. B．Bad manners.C．Spelling mistakes. D．Silly jokes.【答案】A【解析】词义猜测题.根据文章内容可知,老师借助竞选演说鼓励同学们学会赞美自己.文中Chris Palaez的母语不是英语,他学英语才三年多,说话不流利,而且他在演讲时非常紧张,所以说话磕磕绊绊,故选A.【举一反三】(2018·北京卷)A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol­powered private cars worldwide with electric, self­driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel soundpretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride­hailing services, considering the cost of self­driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.49．What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Employed. B．Replaced.C．Shared. D．Reduced.【答案】A【解析】词义猜测题.利用构词法解题.field常用作名词, 表示“场地,领域”,此处用作动词,引申为“使用,应用”.根据上段中画线词所在句的前半部分内容“The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly”并结合下句中的“as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology”可知,随着价格的降低以及人们对这项技术开始应用自如,第一批上市的无人驾驶车辆会“被应用”到“叫车服务”中.故选A.【变式探究】(2019·北京卷)Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteri stics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.43．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Sensitive. B．Beneficial.C．Significant. D．Unnoticeable.【答案】A【解析】词义猜测题.根据上段尾句“Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth...but also nutrients.”可知,温度变化对phytoplankton有很大的影响；由此可推知phytoplankton对海洋的温度很敏感.故选A.【举一反三】(2019·江苏卷·B)In the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled anyone before：he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature—that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features.。

高考英语二轮复习专题阅读理解精选1So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them・ It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible^.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest （探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.26.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that.A.it is one of the most difficult school coursesB.students spend endless hours in readingC.reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD.too much time is spent in teaching about reading27.The teaching of reading will be successful if _______________ ・A.teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB.teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC.teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD.teachers can make their teaching activities observable28.The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means"_____________A.inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion29.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ______________•A.children become highly motivatedB.teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC.teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD.reading enriches children's experience30.The main idea of the passage is that ______________ .A.teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB.teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC.reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD.reading is more complicated that generally believed【答案与解析】26—30 DBBAC木文是一篇议论文，在对传统的阅读教学方式进行批判的同时，论述了作者自己阅读的教学观：阅读的教与学是两个完全不同的过程。

二轮复习高考英语专题复习阅读理解(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Eating red meat is linked to cancer and heart disease, but are the risks big enough to justify giving up juicy burgers and delicious steaks? Probably not, according to researchers who reviewed data from 12 clinical trials involving about 54,000 people. In a series of controversial papers, the researchers argue that the increased health risks tied to red meat are small and uncertain, and that cutting back likely wouldn't be worth it for people who enjoy meat.Those conclusions go against established medical advice. They were swiftly attacked by a group of famous U.S. scientists who took the unusual step of trying to stop the papers from being published until their criticisms were addressed.The new work does not say red or processed meats like hot dogs and bacon are healthy, or that people should eat more of them. The team's reviews of past studies generally support the ties to cancer, heart disease and other bad health outcomes. But the authors say the evidence is weak, and that there's not much certainty meat is really the cause, since other diet and lifestyle factors could be at play.If the latest example of how divisive nutrition research has become, with its uncertainties leaving the door open for conflicting advice. Critics say findings often aren't backed by strong evidence. Defenders counter that nutrition studies can rarely be conclusive because of the difficulty of measuring the effects of any single food, but that methods have improved.Based on their analyses, the researchers said people do not have to cut back for health reasons. But they noted that their own advice is weak, and acknowledged that they didn't consider factors such as animal welfare and the environment. Indeed, the case that meat production is bad for animal welfare and the environment is stronger than the case that it's bad for human health, according to an editorial that accompanies the report.Not all of the report authors agreed with its conclusions. Three of the 14 researchers said they support reducing red and processed meats. A coauthor of one of the reviews is also among those who called for a publication delay.Those who pushed to postpone publication also questioned why certain studies were included in the reviews while others were left out.As for his own diet, Dr. Gordon Guyatt, a member of the international research team that conducted the reviews, said he no longer thinks red or processed meats have significant health risks. But he said he still avoids them out of habit, and for animal welfare and environmental reasons.（1）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce a new relationship between health and eating red meat.B.To urge more people to keep away from eating red meat regularly.C.To present a new controversial view on impacts of eating red meat.D.To criticize nutrition studies for lacking of conclusive evidence.（2）What is the author's attitude towards the new research?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Objective.（3）Guyatt's avoiding red meats has the weakest connection with_______.A.health risksB.diet habitsC.animal welfareD.environmental protection（4）What can we learn from the recent research?A.Red meats don't have significant health risks.B.Reducing meat consumption will be worth it.C.The report authors have reached a consensus.D.Consuming red meat will do good to health.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）A（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者对于吃红肉是否与癌症和心脏病有关引用了研究发现、结果、例子等客观数据和事实来写这篇文章。

2023年新高考英语二轮拔高班复习资料阅读理解训练题型：说明文题组训练（六）姓名：班级：学校：错题号：（2022·湖北襄阳·襄阳四中校考模拟预测）Public toilets around the globe have a reputation for being dark, dirty and dangerous. Tokyo recently unveiled new restrooms in two public parks that aim to address those concerns. For one thing, they are brightly lit and colorful. For another, they are transparent. This way, those who need to go can check out the cleanliness and safety of the toilets without having to walk inside or touch a thing.Japan has long experimented with toilets, resulting in lids that open, and close automatically and seats that warm up. But the new toilets—designed by Shigeru Ban, the Pritzker Prize-winning architect—are made out of a “smart glass.”The toilets were installed in Tokyo in September. Set up in front of a cluster of trees in the Shibuya District, the toilets stand out like a Mondrian painting.When occupied and locked properly, the colored glass toilets become frosted (磨砂的) and opaque (not transparent). When the door is unlocked, an electric current rearranges the crystals in the glass to allow more light to pass through, creating a transparent effect. The toilets were presented as another futuristic and aesthetically (美学地) pleasing example of the country’s technological advancements.The predecessor to Tokyo’s transparent toilets appeared in Switzerland in 2002, when designer Olivier Rambert unveiled two glass restrooms in the city of Lausanne. They had a safety feature that automatically opened the doors and turned the glass transparent if sensors detected no motion for 10 minutes. That could possibly help users who fall unconscious and need medical attention.1．What’s the purpose of the design of new restrooms?A．To make the parks tourist attractions.B．To settle the problems with public toilets.C．To maintain the standards of public toilets.D．To achieve a breakthrough in toilet construction.2．How does the “smart glass”function?A．By cutting off electricity. B．By giving off colorful light.C．By sensing the health of people. D．By changing the order of crystals.3．What can we learn about the transparent toilets?A．They cause the concerns about privacy.B．They are decorated with artists’paintings.C．They are pioneered by Japanese architects.D．They combine technological and artistic elements.4．Which can best describe the safety feature of glass restrooms in Switzerland?A．Conventional. B．Humanized.C．Simplified. D．Recreational.（2023·重庆·统考模拟预测）The human brain is a complex organ. It stores everything we go through, from our life experiences to our skills, our preferences, all thethings that form our personality and our existence are stored in our brains alone as memories. With age, this complex structure often begins to deteriorate. The memories become harder to recall, we start forgetting things and our brain functions become weaker and slower with each passing day.Dementia and Alzheimer’s are mental disorders that can lead to many painful experiences. More so when you see your own friends or family members suffer from it. But there are some who do not let even such problems bring them down. Paul Harvey, an 81-year-old orchestra conductor, is one such person. Last September, Harvey’s son Nick recorded a video of his father playing one of his compositions on the piano and posted it on Twitter. He suffers from Dementia too and wanted to show the world tat even this mental disorder could not take music away from his father. The old man gained appreciation and love from millions of people on the internet.Paul went against the diagnosis and proved that music truly does reach places even words or actions cannot. He put his music out in the world in the form of a single recorded by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. The funds raised by selling the records of this single will be going to the Alzheimer’s Society and Music for Dementia. The campaign is to make music available for free to patients who suffer from conditions like Alzheimer’s and Dementia.To mark the day since his video went viral. he was also invited to conduct the BBC Philharmonic orchestra and given a chance to play two of his compositions at their studio, located in Salford. It is truly a heart-warming story.5．What does the underlined word “deteriorate”in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Become worse. B．Develop slowly. C．Break down completely.

The newcomer, powered with both electricity and a reserve of hydrogen fuel, is going to steal that title as the largest electric mining truck.London-based Anglo American is developing the beast of a machine —it weighs 290 tons —as part of its sustainable mining vision. The conceptual work is done, but U.K-based Williams Advanced Engineering will bring the truck to life. The idea is to replace the vehicle’s diesel engine (柴油机) with a high-power modular lithium-ion battery (锂电池). “We are delighted to be involved in this innovative and exciting project which shows the potential of battery technology that can adapt to increased demands, from automotive and motorsport to ‘heavy duty’industrial applications,”Craig Wilson, managing director of Williams Advanced Engineering, said.While the eDumper —a mining truck used to move stones from the sides of mountains in Switzerland —relies entirely on pure electricity and pure physics for power, the Anglo American truck will use both a lithium-ion battery and a hydrogen fuel cell (电池) module. Altogether, the new truck will have over 1,000 Kilowatt hours of energy storage. Hydrogen fuel is a clear fuel that produces only water as a by-product when consumed in a fuel cell. It’s typically produced from natural gas, nuclear power, or renewable windand solar power. Adding hydrogen fuel cells to the vehicle’s battery will allow the truck to run for longer periods of time without recharging.There’s also a third type of power that comes into play with the Anglo American truck: kinetic (动力的) energy created through the process of regenerative braking (再生制动系统). When an electric vehicle —be it the Anglo American truck, or the eDumper —rolls down a hill, that movement creates electrical energy for the battery as you brake. The electric motors power the car through the battery’s stored energy, but can also become mini generators that return some energy back to the battery.After Anglo American finishes test trials with the truck, the firm will conduct studies to understand how the truck’s power units can be used to provide energy storage in other applications.9．What can be known about “the eDumper”?A．It weighs more than 290 tons.B．It is powered by hydrogen fuel.C．It will no longer be the largest electric truck.D．It will discourage buyers for being expensive.10．What can be inferred from Craig Wilson’s words?A．Battery technology is the key to updating vehicles.B．Battery technology is the basis of manufacturing trucks.C．The development of the lithium-ion battery is limited.D．The future of the lithium-ion battery is promising.11．What is the benefit of adopting hydrogen fuel cells?A．It can save a lot of money.B．Vehicles become more eco-friendly.C．It has no environmental impact at all.D．Vehicles no longer need to be recharged.12．According to paragraph 5, which of the following can be a feature of regenerative braking?A．Autonomous braking. B．Energy transformation.C．Simple operation. D．zero-carbon emission.（2022·广东深圳·深圳中学校考模拟预测）“I feel unlikable, lonely and hopeless，”said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. “It seems that nobody wants to become my friend. What's wrong with me？”Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness. The truth is that all people, no matter what their age or character —even the most outgoing, wealthy and popular —experience loneliness at least sometimes. It's healthy and natural to want to be around people who care. After all, we've all heard “No man is an island.”That's true. We all need others in our lives.Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, explains that if we want friends, we must be friendly and reach out to others. But it has risk. Because we are often afraid of rejection (拒绝), many of us are unwilling to reach out to others. We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us. But if we want friends, we've got to get beyond this.If making friends is your goal as well, you need to consider taking some measures (措施).Be willing to take the initiative (主动权). If you see someone whom you would like to know, don't wait for her to make the first move. Get close to her and begin a conversation. Lether know in a non­aggressive (无攻击性的) way that you are interested in being friends with her.Reach out to those who are lonely. When you see someone at school sitting alone, go over and talk to her. And don't let popularity decide whom you reach out to. You'll often be surprised at the beautiful qualities behind a shy appearance.Ask questions. Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what she likes to do or asking about her family. Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with “yes”or “no”. For example, don't ask “Do you have a dog？”Instead, say “So, tell me about your pets.”Avoiding asking “yes”or “no”questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one­word answer.13．Why does the author begin the text with Lisa's worry?A．To set a sad tone.B．To share Lisa's pain.C．To introduce the topic.D．To teach readers a lesson.14．What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage?A．Being refused by others.B．Putting ourselves in danger.C．Being treated in a rude way.D．Losing interest in communicating.15．What can we know from Paragraph 5?A．Shy people are hard to talk to.B．Popular people are often easy­going.C．Just waiting for chances will waste our time.D．A proper manner is important in making friends.16．Why does the author suggest not asking “yes”or “no”questions?A．It is considered unfriendly.B．It will leave a bad first impression.C．It shows the poor quality of the speaker.D．It isn't good for keeping a conversation going.（2022·江苏南通·江苏省如东高级中学校考模拟预测）Heat, cold and touch are crucial for experiencing the world around us and for our own survival. But how our bodies actually do it had been one of the great mysteries (神秘) of biology. Scientists who discovered how our bodies feel the warmth of the sun or the hug of a loved one have won the Nobel Prize.David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian, from the US, share the 2021 prize in Medicine or Physiology for their work on sensing touch and temperature. They explored how our bodies convert physical sensations into electrical messages in the nervous system. Their findings could lead to new ways of treating pain.Thomas Perlman, from the Nobel Prize Committee, said: “It was a very important and profound discovery.”Prof David Julius’s breakthrough, at the University of Calfornia, San Francisco, came from investigating the burning pain we feel from eating a hot chilli pepper (辣椒) . He experimented with the source of a chilli’s heat and discovered the specific type of receptor (感觉器官) that responded to it. Further tests showed the receptor was responding to heat and kicked in at “painful“temperatures. This is what happens, forexample，if you you’re your hand on a cup of coffee.This led to a senses of other temperature sensors being discovered. Prof Julius and Prof Ardem Palapoutian found one that could detect cold. Meanwhile, Prof Patapoutian, working at the Scrips Research institute, was also analyzing cells in a dish. Those experiments led to the discovery of a different type of receptor that a was activated (激活)in response to mechanical force or touch. When you walk along a beach and feel the sand under your feet-it is these receptors that are sending signals to the brain.The first heat sensor is also involved’in lasting pain and how our body regulates its core temperature. The touch receptor has multiple roles, from urinating to blood pressure. The Prize Committee said their work had “allowed us to understand how heat, cold and mechanical force can initiate the nerve impulses (刺激) that allow us to perceive and adapt to the world around us.17．What made David and Ardem win the Nobel Prize?A．Mysterious experiences B．Biological discoveries.C．Exploration of sun heat.

The next day the students' memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.''When people rely on technology to remember them — counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren't in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn't reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren't usually very organized on their computers.（1）Why did the author mention Henkel's trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning? A. To complain about some tourists' bad habits. B. To give suggestions on how to enjoy one's tour.C. To point out people's obsession with taking pictures.D.
