2017年高考英语阅读理解预测9

2017 届新课标高考英语阅读理解猜测词意（词义）解题策略高考考情分析解读：词义猜测题是高考阅读理解题中的一种常见的题型。

词义猜测可以是对一个单词的意义推断，也可以是对一个短语或一个句子的意义推断，既可以是生词生义，也可以是熟词新义，还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。

通过对近年新课标全国卷分析统计来看，词义猜测题一般有1－2 题。

考查相对比较稳定，但难度略有增加，需要在复杂的句式中通过上下文综合分析才能得出答案。

在词义猜测题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据短文提供的语境，通过阅读上下文，根据已知的信息或常识来推测尚不熟悉的词或词组的含义。

2016 年全国卷设问形式例子：(1)What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？(2016 年课标全国卷Ⅱ)(2)What does the underline phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean？(2016 年课标全国卷Ⅲ)(3)What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to？(2015 年课标全国卷Ⅰ)常见的命题形式有：The underlined word in the second paragraph means “”．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph?The underlined word “” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “”．What does the phrase “”in Paragraph 1 mean?本学案结构：代词指代猜测题目句子猜测句意题目附：典故谚语知识储备单词或短语意思猜测题该题型着重考查考生根据上下文猜测词义的能力，这也是一个从“已知”得出“未知”的过程，即利用上下文的已知部分(尤其是该词或短语前后的句子)进行推理，有时还需要依靠常识和经验来猜测词义。

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a s urgeon (外科医生) and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is fini shed. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pa in.Long ago, an operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything.

He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and h is fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who wat ched.Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is n ow called “laughing gas”. Laughing gas became known in Am erica. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing. But one man at a party, Horace Wells noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on hi mself. He asked a friend to help him. Wells took some of theg as, and his friend pulled out one of Wells' teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain w hen his tooth was being pulled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, a nd the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.1.

A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal attack--when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was on his trapped w ay to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam' s being late--serious illness at home--he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal s peech.Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. S am's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm S am Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, beca me available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"The room exploded in laughter, except that the supervisor ha d to clamp off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam May nard had saved his job--with the only tool that could win, a laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, g etting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing f ace. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may s tart a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on t elevision are doing more today for racial and religious toleran ce than people in any other forum.1. Why was Sam late for his job?A. Because he was seriously ill at home.B. Because he received an ultimatum.C. Because he was busy applying for a new job.D. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.2. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor.B. Humor is important in our lives.C. Early bird can get the worm.D. Humor can solve racial discriminations.3. The phrase "clamp off" in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. try to hold backB. pretend to setC. send offD. give out4. Which of the following statements can we infer from the pa ssage?A. Many lose life's battles for they are always late.B. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.C. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.1、答案解析：答案为D。

AHow often do you travel by plane?How much electricity do you use? These days everyone is worried about the size of theircarbon footprint. In order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon footprintssmaller. But how much CO2 are we responsible for?A new book by Mike Berners Lee (a leading expert in carbon footprint) might be able to help.How Bad are Bananas? The Carbon Footprint of Everything looks at the different things we doand buy, and calculates the amount of CO2all of the following created: the ingredients, theelectricity used in the brewery, the equipment, the travel and commuting of the beer, and thepackaging. It’s amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculation. Andit’s frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces.But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink. From Berners-Lee’s calculations, it’sclear that a pint (568ml) of locally-brewed beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle ofimported beer. This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it usesmore packaging. The local beer only produces 300g of CO2, but the imported beer produces 900g!So, one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign lagerfrom the supermarket.Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work. Nothing is moreenvironmentally-friendly than riding a bike, surely? Well, it depends on what you’ve had to eat before. To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food. So if we eat a banana andthen ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65g of CO2. However, if we eat bacon before theckaging, theybike ride, it’s 200g. In fact, bananas are good in general because they don’t need pacan be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not, for a start, if youcycle, you don’t use your car, and the fewer cars on the road, the fewer traffic jam s. And cars intraffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars traveling at speed. Cycling also makes youhealthy and less likely to go to a hospital. And hospitals have very big carbon footprints!So maybe it’s time for us all to start making some cha nges. Pass me a banana and a pint oflocal beer, please.1. According to Berners-Lee, which of the following produces the most carbon dioxide？A. A pint of local beer we drink.B. A pint of imported beer we drink.C. A banana we eat before a bike ride.D. The bacon we eat before a bike ride.2. Why are bananas good in general?A. They grow naturally.B. They produces less CO2.C. They don’t need packaging.D. They provide energy for cycling.means “___________”．3. The underlined word “brewery” in Paragraph 3 most probablyA. a factory where beer is madeB. a machine which makes beerC. a container where beer is stored第1页共7页。

Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity; others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their s elf-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other s kills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other hu man qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succe ed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are y oungsters who have suffered under competitive pressures fro m their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I oft en observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they alw ays have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter be cause I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by them selves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that wo uld mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth . Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitorswho try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with ot hers. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic a nd often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.【小题1】What does this passage mainly talk about? A．Competition helps to set up self-respect.B．Opinions about competition are different among people. C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development. D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition【小题2】Why do some people favor competition according to the pass age?A．It pushes society forward.B．It builds up a sense of duty.C．It improves personal abilities.D．It encourages individual efforts.【小题3】What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those wit h a desire to fail ?A．One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.B．One’s success in competition needs great efforts. C．One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills. D．One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.【小题4】Which point of view may the author agree to? A．Every effort should be paid back.B．Competition should be encouraged.C．Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition.阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our clea nest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmil ls (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh cent ury BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s , when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground wh en electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living i n remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by th e 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used. During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about t he pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movem ent to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.风能早在公元前七世纪就开始被人们用风车所利用，当人们发明了电以后，风能被用来发电，但随着电的广泛使用，风车逐渐不被人们使用了。

The "Earth Hour" initiative(自发行动) started in Australia' s biggest city Sydney last year when a n estimated 2. 2 million people flicked the switch --- leaving the Sydney Opera House bathed in moonlight and th e Harbor Bridge blacked out.Organizer Andy Ridley said Sydney ' s 60 minutes of darknes s generated huge interest around the world and 23 other citie s from the Asia Pacific, North America, Europe and the Middle East had now signed up to be part of the 2008 event.The eight latest cities to join "Earth Hour" are Atlanta, San Fra ncisco and Phoenix in the US; Thailand's capital Bangkok; Ott awa, Vancouver and Montreal in Canada and Dublin in Irelan d. They joined Australian cities Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Ca nberra, Brisbane, Adelaide; Denmark's Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg and Odense; the Philippine capital Manila, Fiji ' s bigg est city Suva. Christchurch in New Zealand; Chicago; Tel Aviv and Toronto.Ridley said he expected the "Earth Hour" concept, which is m anaged by the conservation group WWF, to extend beyond the borders of these countries on the scheduled start time of 8:00 p. m. local time on Saturday March 29.“ I think it already has become much bigger," he said. "The id ea was that anyone could do it, whether they were in a small village in France or a city like Sydney. "Ridley said the Sydney event, in which residents were asked t o switch off lights and appliances for one hour, had raised aw areness about the problem of global warming while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by conserving energy."I know that on the night we thought we might be able to cut e nergy use in the city by five percent but it ended up being 10.1 percent," he said.He said he hoped Earth Hour provided a "very big visual mes sage" to politicians that climate change must be addressed qu ickly.“The problem is massive but we do make a difference when we all take action," he said.1. The purpose of the "Earth Hour" activity is _____ .A. to conserve energyB. to change the climateC. to reduce the greenhouse gas emissionsD. to draw people' s attention to the global warming2. The underlined word "flick" in paragraph 1 means ______.A. switch onB. switch offC. move quicklyD. hit quickly3. Which city doesn’t join the black-out organization?A. Bangkok.B. Manchester.C. Montreal.D. Brisbane.4. From the passage we can learn that_____ .A. the black-out activity will have a great effect on climate changeB. the " Earth Hour" initiative first began in the capital of Austr aliaC. all the countries in the world become interested in the blac k-out activityD. the black-out activity has already caught politician' s attention to the cli mate change1、答案解析：答案为C。

2017年高考英语阅读理解真题及答案解析2017年高考英语阅读理解真题及答案解析高考试卷是一把刻度不均匀的尺子：对于你自己来说，难题的分值不一定高。

下面是店铺为大家推荐的2017年高考英语阅读理解真题，仅供大家参考!2017年高考英语阅读理解真题1What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.46. We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.learning better at school shows power in your jobthe better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career.learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs.we should think about how to find our career47. From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he will _____.A. have no hope in his future workB. be hopeful to find a suitable jobC. regret not having worked harder at schoolD. have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work48. All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting except _________.A. mathematicsB. EnglishC. historyD. technical drawing49. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “_________”.A. heavy- handedB. the bestC. importantD. skilled50. The passage mainly discusses ___________.A. The relationship between school performance and careerB. how to get a jobC. How to show strengths in your workD. working experience and knowledge at school答案：46- 50 BDCAA2017年高考英语阅读理解真题2In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition.
