2024届全国高考(新高考)英语复习历年真题好题专项(阅读理解＋读后续写)练习Ⅰ.阅读理解A2023ꞏ济南市高三检测说明文258词★★★☆☆The AIDA model is the foundation of modern marketing and advertising practice. It outlines the four basic steps used to persuade potentials to make a purchase. The first three steps lie in creating attention (A), decorating interest (I), and building desire (D) for the product, before the fourth step—the “call to action” (A)—tells them exactly how and where to buy. AIDA can channel the customer's feelings through each stage toward reaching a sale.Attracting the customer's attention is the first challenge and this may be achieved by using an attracting phrase or picture. Once someone's attention has been clutched,__it must be turned into real interest. This is best done by providing a brief description of the product's benefits to the consumer rather than simply listing the product's main features or problem-solving claims.Now, it is time to transform that interest into a desire for a product or service. This is where consumers need to believe their lives could be better by possessing the product. It could be a vital step towards turning a potential into a real customer.“Call-to-action” is where all of the initial hard work pays off and leads to the action from a potential customer. For example, they might pick up the phone to discuss the idea of a trial of the services or, alternatively, they may just buy that product or service that has been promoted to them all along.And AIDA is used to great effect in the movie industry. Movie studios begin their marketing campaigns months in advance. The campaigns develop by offering attractive flashes of the movie without giving too much away. Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview which is fully designed to show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue on the opening weekend. Advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie's release, inviting the consumer to go and buy a ticket.1．What is the purpose of practising AIDA?A．To create jobs.B．To increase sales.C．To research markets.D．To introduce products.2．What does the underlined word “clutched” mean in Paragraph 2?A．Seized. B．Freed.C．Cheated. D．Affected.3．In which stage of the AIDA model may a customer call to try the service?A．Action. B．Interest.C．Desire. D．Attention.4．Why does the author mention the movie industry in the last paragraph?A．To design an AIDA model.B．To display how AIDA works.C．To show how to make a movie.D．To advertise the movie industry.B2023ꞏ济南市高三检测议论文349词★★★☆☆According to a study done by University of Michigan, shopping to reduce stress was 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad than those only looking at items.More than half of the 1，000 consumers surveyed by Credit Karma, head researcher of the study, said they have shopped to deal with feelings of stress or depression. About 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress shopping said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. About 82 percent of women spend on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead shopping for jewellery, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men.In some sense, stress shopping can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. The survey found 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood was long-lasting. However, stress shopping, for many, could grow into a drive that uses up money, causes conflict, and therefore adds great stress to life.Despite the in-time joy from purchases, stress shopping never proves a long-lasting cure to stress or depression. Actually it needs to be avoided anyhow. Whether you're purchasing presents or buying groceries, having the items you need written down will provide you with brightness while shopping. Reward yourself for sticking to your list and you'll be more likely to commit to it.In addition always think about what you struggle with most financially. Do you spend too much money at the mall? Eating out? Vacations? Make a list of where your money is going and take necessary steps to resist your desire. For example, if you spend too much money on dining out on weekends, stuff your cupboard with food on Friday. So you'll be more likely to stay in and cook. And you need to give up the need to keep up with others. Everyone's financial situation is different and comparison may lead to debt and dissatisfaction with what you already have.5．Why does the author mention those numbers in Paragraph 2?A．To support an idea.B．To attract readers.C．To call for actions.D．To introduce a topic.6．Which of the following may help deal with stress shopping?A．Stimulating desires.B．Recording spending.C．Turning to medicines.D．Comparing with others.7．What is the author's attitude to stress shopping?A．Unclear. B．Doubtful.C．Objective. D．Negative.8．What is a suitable title for the text?A．Does shopping benefit us?B．More stressed, women or men?C．Should we compare with others?D．Can stress shopping reduce stress?Ⅱ.读后续写[2023ꞏ武汉市高三调研]阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

one way to explain things that happen around us.Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen.Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect.It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning (推理的) skills.Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.For example，you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket.This is the effect.To look for a cause，think to yourself，“What would make someone put on a heavy jacket?”Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather.Maybe the person works in the penguin pen (企鹅圈养地) at Sea World.Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold.All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.Now，think about a second example.The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher's office.What are the possiblecauses?Maybe he bullied (欺负) another student.Maybe he is just being picked up early.Maybe he is being given a prize!Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect.Cait，13，was trying to fall asleep when her 8­year­old brother，Doug，came into her room.He looked around a bit，but seemed really out of it.Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there lookingstraight up at the hall light for quite a while.Little brothers can be very strange，but this was really much too strange.Cait didn't know what to do.Just then，Cait's father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking.What's the cause and effect，could you tell?16.According to the second paragraph，which of the following is an effect?A.Someone puts on a heavy jacket.B.Someone works in the penguin pen.C.Someone will go outside into cold weather.D.Someone will go to visit an ice skating rink.17.Abi has to go to the head teacher's office.Which of the following isn't the possible cause?A.He bullied another student.B.He is going shopping.C.he is being picked up early.D.He is being given a prize.18.What was Doug doing when his sister Cait tried to fall asleep?A.He was going outside.B.He was reading a story.C.He was sleepwalking.D.He was looking for his dad.19.Which of the following is cause and effect?A.Tony got up and had a glass of water.B.We came home and found him sleeping.C.The ball was lost and a window was broken.D.Tim was late again and his teacher got angry.20.What is the best title for the text?A.Truth and liesB.Work and sleepC.Cause and effectD.Life and dreams(五)Ask any student which subject he or she hates most.9 out of 10 students will answer “math”.No matter which country you visit，no matter which grade you are in，you may not learn art，geography，chemistry or Chinese，but you always learn math.Why is this so?How come so many students hate math，and yet cannot avoid learning it in school?Jenny Sanders，a high school student in California，asks，“What good do we get from learning math?We can use computers to compute numbers，and we can use computers to store information.I think learning math at school is a waste of time.”However，there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract(减) numbers.In fact，math is not so much about calculation (计算) as it is about learning to think logically (逻辑地) and solving problems.Of course，Jenny was right that we can use computers to do calculations，but how would we even know how to use the computer if we can't think logically?In short，computers are only tools when solving problems.For example，imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests.How should you divide your resources so that you can get the job done most efficiently (高效地)?In situations like this，the ability to think logically will get you to a reasonable answer and solve your problem.21.According to the passage，which subject do students always learn in different grades at school?A.Chinese.B.Math.C.Geography.22.What does Jenny Sanders think of learning math?A.Interesting.B.Boring.eless.23.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.90% of the students hate learning math.B.Students can learn math well with computers.C.Math can do calculations and store information.24.What does the underlined word “resources” mean in the passage?A.科目B.效率C.资源25.What does the writer want to tell us?A.Math is just learning to add and subtract numbers.B.Math can be good for both our body and our mind.C.Math helps us think logically and solve problems.(六)Fifty­three years ago Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in the world of toys.Since then，Barbie doll，as everyone called her，has become the most successful toy doll in history.Her parent，the Mattel Company，said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.However，Barbie is facing some trouble at present.There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her.Another doll named Bratz，for example，came to life thirteen years ago.She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup(浓妆) and miniskirts.And her company offers more kinds of clothes too.It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls.“For younger girls，playing with a Barbie is much fun.But when you get older，you want something smarter and more modern，”says Vera Shepherd，a shop assistant in a New York toy store.It is good news that on the international market，Barbie isstill No.1.Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years，sales in other countries are still going up.In January 2009，Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai，where girls can shop，eat，drink or even become fashion_designers for their own Barbies.Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 53rd birthday.Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie.How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls?It is hard to say，but 53 is surely not the age to retire(退休).26.Barbie's

（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）及解析（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled wit h this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.（1）If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship（2）When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in （3）According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.（4）What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文，我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。

高考英语专项复习《阅读理解记叙文》真题总结含答案一、2022年高考真题1.（2022年全国甲卷）As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her andkick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.28. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Try challenging things.B. Take a degree.C. Bring back lost memories.D. Stick to a promise.29. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?A. Lovely penguins.B. Beautiful scenery.C. A discount fare.D. A friend’s invitation.30. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?A. It could be a home for her.B. It should be easily accessible.C. It should be well preserved.D. It needs to be fully introduced.31. What is the text mainly about?A. A childhood dream.B. An unforgettable experience.C. Sailing around the world.D.
