In the U．S.，we’ve created fridges that give you cold ice at the press of a button，but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm.This tradition—if that’s what you want to call it—dates back to the 19th century.During that time，it was already commonplace for most American homes to have an ice box.Ice would be harvested in northern America or Canada and shipped across the Atlantic and sold at a high price in British department stores.Can you imagine heading to Macy’s to treat yourself to a block of ice?Putting ice in your drink started to become somewhat of a fashion(时尚) trend for the wealthy in Britain.Some would put a few cubes in their champagne and sip on their chilled drinks at high-class parties.But，like with any fashion trend，it eventually faded，mainly because the ice was just too expensive.And even once ice boxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well，Brits never took a liking to ice in their drinks.So，next time you travel overseas，don’t feel offended(冒犯) when your server gives you an eye roll when you ask for ice water.语篇解读这篇文章主要讲了为什么美国人喜欢喝饮料时加冰，而欧洲人不喜欢。

2019高考英语浙江专用精准提分二轮试题第三部分话题拓展阅读与写作第3节旅游与交通(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhy does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ，but there’s no doubt that Napoleon was a major influence.The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century.Some say that before the French Revolution，noblemen drove their carriages on the left，forcing the peasants to the right.Regardless of the origin，Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered，including Russia，Switzerland and Germany.Hitler，in turn，ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s.Nations that escaped right-hand control，like Great Britain，followed their left-hand tradition.The U．S.has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers；earlier in its history，carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left，as it did in England.But by the late 1700s，people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift(改变) to the right.A driver would sit on the rear(后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip(鞭子) with his right hand；to see opposite traffic clearly，they travelled on the right.One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U．S.occurred in the 20th century，when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left(one reason，stated in 1908: the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge，especially... if there is a lady to be considered)．Once these rules were set，many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard，including Canada in the 1920s，Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970.The U．K.and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world’s few remaining holdouts(坚持不变者)．Several Asian nations，including Japan，use the left as well—though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.语篇解读文章主要解释了为什么世界上有的国家靠右行驶，有的国家靠左行驶。

浙江省2019年高考英语二轮专题复习阅读理解提分特训（三）阅读理解提分特训三A 【社会文化类】In today’s world of smart phones and notebook computers,most people have at least one time-telling thing with them.Since these digital products are so common,is time running out for the 500-year-old watch According to some consumers,the answer is yes.New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time.It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago.As a result,some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads. However,watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s.By then,they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time.Fifty years ago,watchmakers took pride in their products’accuracy.But in recent years,the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory business.And today,the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells. “Complications”features that go beyond simple timekeepingare an important part of a watch’s image.Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost anypersonality.These features include compasses,USB drivers,and even other functions. Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches.For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches.The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time.It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch. Whether a watch communicates fashion sense,creative talent of a love sports, consumers want their watches to stand out.Nowadays,everyone has the same kind of gadget in their bags,so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists.Will this interest in wrist fashion last Only time will tell 1.What can we know from the first paragraph A.As most people see,watches are out of fashion.

2019高考英语浙江专用精准提分二轮试题第三部分话题拓展阅读与写作第20节文娱与体育(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·江西赣州一模)My track and field coach，Mr Jones，had decided to get the team to take part in the 4×100m race.It would be the first time that we were running in such a race.We needed to work as a team to improve on our speed.The most critical moment was the passing of the baton(接力棒) at the right time to the next runner.Mr Jones had chosen me to start the race.The next runner would be Susan.In the beginning，whenever we practised passing the baton，something would go terribly wrong.I would either be going too slowly or she would be taking off too late.We needed to perfect it.At the same time，I had to make sure that I would not go beyond the yellow line.Finally it was the day of the race.We were confident that the gold medal would be ours.Each of us had improved in our running speed.Our passing of the baton had been perfected during the practices.My reactions were exact and accurate as I started running.Everything felt the way it should as I sprinted towards Susan.I held the baton in my sweaty palms，promising myself not to let go.My long legs moved me as fast as I could go round the comer.As I came closer to my final steps，my heart was beating faster than usual.The cheering by the spectators(观众) got into me and I became nervous.“What if we lose？” I thought to myself.It was then that I saw Susan in the far distance.I held out the baton and continued running quickly towards Susan.Susan yelled “Slow down，slow down！” However，it was too late.The official held up the red flag.It was then that I realized that I had gone beyond the yellow line.语篇解读这是一篇记叙文。

第31节文学与艺术(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解ADo you listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don’t.You probably think the music that they like is old and dull and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler.But here is what scientists found recently：people’s music tastes change as they age，according to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.So it’s likely that your own musical preference will follow a similar path to your parents’，whether you like it or not.We used to think that culture and personality are the only factors that affect one’s music choice.But researchers at the University of Cambridge，UK，gathered data from more than 250,000 people over the past 10 years.They noticed that as people age，their social circumstances change，and so does their music tastes.There are three musical periods that people pass through as they mature—“intense”，“contemporary” and “sophisticated”．The first period comes in the teenage years，during which time people like intense music such as punk and rock because teenagers tend to be aggressive and want to establish their identity as independent individuals.But as people move into early adulthood，their lifestyle changes—they socialize more and want to build close relationships with others.As a result，they become more fond of contemporary music，such as pop and R&B，which is usually uplifting and danceable and played at parties where people hang out together and chat.When middle age comes，things have settled down for most people.This period will be dominated(支配) by more “sophisticated” music，such as jazz and classical，as well as more catchy music like country，folk，and blues.“For many，this life stage is frequently exhausted by work and family，and there is a requirement for relaxing，emotive(有感染力的) music，” Jason Rentfrow，a researcher member，told The telegraph.But you must be thinking：“Aren’t there old people who are still into rock music？” Of course there are.But Rentfrow explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed.“We use music for different reasons，” he said，and thus at that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youths.1．Why do children usually like different songs from their parents according to the passage? A．Children prefer cool music.B．Music taste changes with age.C．Parents’ songs are always dull.D．Parents have better social circumstances.答案B解析细节理解题。

2019高考英语浙江专用精准提分二轮试题第三部分话题拓展阅读与写作第38节热点话题(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·黑龙江哈尔滨三中二模)The discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century.However，the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past.Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation，employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of energy.The most effective among these resources is geothermal(地热的) energy.Geothermal energy does not depend on the world’s economic and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do.Besides，extracting(提炼) fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them.Therefore，geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional energy，saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.Being a renewable resource，geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources.In geothermal systems，carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced.Overall，in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour，the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases.For a comparison，a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere，and those power plants that work on coal(煤) produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for many countries.Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling.Besides，geothermal equipment is less big：due to the very nature of geothermal energy，geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts，all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building.What’s more，the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long.All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.语篇解读当前地热资源是最有效、最受欢迎的资源，它具有经济、环保、成本低等特点。

2019高考英语浙江专用精准提分二轮试题第三部分话题拓展阅读与写作第22节个人情况(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·山东淄博实验中学教学诊断考试)Sometimes your expectations don’t survive.But you have to make it through.After a lengthy visa application procedure，I left my father with our dog，jumped on a flight，and there I was in London.Since Europe is an aspiration in my country，I had imagined it as a place where things always worked perfectly.I was alone in dealing with all kinds of problems as they arose.That was alright and this is how I became a “special person”during my Erasmus exchange.The accommodation I could afford was far from the city.To make things worse，I was new to many things，and definitely an outsider.But it wasn’t an exception to carelessness，I found out.My dorm was in a silent neighborhood.Little did I know that those calm streets would be visited by loud fire trucks...And because of me!That morning，I closed the kitchen door after placing some bread in the toaster.I was still half asleep and looking for something to wear.For some reason，the automatic mechanism of the toaster to push the slices up didn’t work.When I went back to the kitchen.It was full of thick white smoke.Coughing hard，I opened the windows，stepped outside the door for a breath，and then went in again to reach for the fire extinguisher(灭火器)．It was the first time I used one，and had to get out of the kitchen to be able to see how to unlock it.It was only then that the fire alarm went off! I went in again and made sure I put off the fire.Nothing was like how I planned.A few times I hung out in the school cafeteria，but couldn’t make friends.I went to discover the city alone.Independence wasn’t something to be ashamed of after all.I wish I had made friends with people，but it turned out that I had to learn I wasn’t in need of others’ company to enjoy life.I tried to make the best of my time，thinking that being alone is a blessing too，just like being with friends is.My international experiences that followed definitely made me more social，but now I know that being alone is not a weakness，but a part of life embrace.Just like our mistakes，carelessness or bad luck，I can say it was during my time in London that I learnt I was，despite everything，a strong and special person who can cope with(处理) anything that comes her way.语篇解读本文讲述的是作者在英国的学习经历。

2019高考英语浙江专用精准提分二轮试题第三部分话题拓展阅读与写作第4节旅游与交通(二) Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·嘉兴基础测试) Volunteering to help people in need combined with traveling to faraway places is a new trend in the travel industry.It is called voluntourism.People travel to other countries，learn languages and other cultures，and gain new experiences.On the other side，they volunteer to help others who are not as well off as they are. Recent statistics show that in the past few years voluntourism has been one of the fastest-growing areas of tourism.More than 1.6 million people around the world are volunteers in other countries.They work in orphanages(孤儿院)，help build schools，assist in hospitals and do farming work in developing countries.Some of them develop lasting bonds with people far away. There are many reasons why people want to take part in voluntourism.Students see it as a period of time when they can take a break before going to university；others simply want to take time out from a job and do something else.Then there are those who are bored and merely seek adventure.However，many voluntourists do not see volunteering as what it is.They think it is a cheap way of traveling and don’t really want to get involved in hard work. Not everyone sees voluntourism in a positive way.Critics(评论家) say that if people really wantto help those in need，there are many opportunities in their own community to do this.On the other side，volunteers are often not skilled enough for the tasks they do. Travel experts point out that in some cases voluntourists are taken advantage of by the organization that sets up the trips. 语篇解读本文主要讲述了公益旅游的概念、好处以及人们选择公益旅游的原因。
