2023高考英语全国乙卷D篇阅读理解翻译及解析If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Wri ting is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook’s voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all ofwhom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. How past events should be presented.B. What humanity is concerned about.C. Whether facts speak louder than words.D. Why written language is reliable.13. What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?A. His report was scientific.B. He represented the local people.C. He ruled over Botany Bay.D. His record was one-sided.14. What does the underlined word “conversation” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Problem.B. History.C. V oice.D. Society.15. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?A. How Maps Tell Stories of the WorldB. A Short History of AustraliaC. A History of the World in 100 ObjectsD. How Art Works Tell Stories如果你想讲述整个世界的历史,一段不赋予人类一部分特权的历史,你不能只通过文本来讲述,因为世界上只有一些地区有文本,而世界上大多数地区在大多数时候都没有。

Home on the WayPeople need homes,children assume their parents’ place as home; boarders call school “home” on weekdays; married couples work together to build new homes; and travelers...hav e no place to call “home”,at least for a few nights.36.? Don’t they have the right to a home? Of course they do.Some regular travelers take their own belongings like bed sheets,pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service andattendants;37..Furthermore,driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home—only mobile!And how about keeping relationships while in transit?38.;some send letters and postcards,or even photos; others may just call and say Hi,just to let their friends know that they’re still alive and well.People find ways to keep in touch.Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home.39..Nowadays,fewer people are working in their local towns,so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries,there is always another “home” waiting to be found.40.,we can make the place we stay “home”.A.Hostels provide a clean safe place to stay while you are travelling the worldB.others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homelyC.Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends,even closer than siblings(手足)D.So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of timeE.No matter where you go in the world,hotels are there,tooF.Some keep contact with their friends via InternetG.Wherever we are,with just a little bit of effort and imagination答案:36-40DBFCG2016年新课标高考英语备考七选五集锦第(2)篇第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(品质)in the Americans.They show confidence in the way they talk,the way they smile,the way they dress and the way they walk.Living and competing with all these confidence American students,I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor.As a student,being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly.Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all.What’s worse,the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it.Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace.But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches.(The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking).Modesty is a trait highly valued in China,but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.1.To compete with American students it’s very important to.A.be quite confident B.be polite and friendlyC.have more discussions with them D.understand what they think about2.A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who .A.gives a silly or simple answerB.tries to seize any chance to speak in classC.shows no interest in the courseD.is considered to have no opinion of his own3.The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if .A.he asks a student to repeat what he has saidB.the students bargain with himC.he pretends to know what he doesn’tD.he has to give a speech4.We learn from the second paragraph that .A.we should also remain modest in AmericaB.modesty doesn’t help you much in AmericaC.Americans also like modest peopleD.modesty can help you through an American graduate program5.The passage is mainly developed by .A.providing examplesB.making comparisonsC.giving different figuresD.telling personal experiences【参考答案】1---5、ADCBD2022高考英语二轮:(精选)阅读理解训练(2)及答案AWhen Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter (炼铜厂), and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened inside him. Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No”.Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren’t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that, he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted.Paul later got married but his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote.Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow (誓言) he made to himself as a child.21.When Paul was a boy, _______.A. he had decided never to leave his hometownB. the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelterC. he hit a young visitor because of his comments on the wastelandD. he stopped the copper smelter polluting the area22.Paul went to college to study the science of plants, because _______.A. he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himselfB. he was interested in planting trees since he was youngC. he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help himD. he thought his knowledge would make his advice more convincing23.What does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense” probably mean?A. It was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.B. His normal work and life would be greatly affected.C. No one would like to join him in the efforts.D. He had to keep everything he did secret.24.The company hired Paul to plant trees and grass because_______.A. they realized the importance of environmental protectionB. what Paul was doing moved themC. Paul persuaded them to help himD. they had legal pressure参考答案A篇21-24 CDADBMusic died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum (课程). The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test,it is not the fault of drama and music classes—they are failing because the “academic” classes are not sufficient (充分的).It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well-rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art—there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge—certainly not a good preparation for the real world.25. Music and drama are not included in the high school curriculum mainly because ________.A. the school committee pays no attention to themB. the school is afraid of losing financial supportC. the students are not interested in both of themD. the state standardized test is more important26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery test.B. Quite a few students are discouraged from learning music and art in today’s school system.C. Students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons.D. The school committee completely influences students’attitude towards the arts.27. We can learn that music and art can ________.A. motivate students in creativity and expressionB. make students round-shaped people in futureC. provide students with analytical thinkingD. prevent students graduation from high school28. The best title of the passage can be ________.A. Who killed music and drama?B. Can curriculum go without music?C. Why is music so important?D. How to prepare for the real world?参考答案B篇25-28 BBABCFor more than 40 years, scientists have sought to learn how well human beings can adapt to long periods in space. The International Space Station continues to provide valuable knowledge about spaceflight. But an earlier space station, Skylab, helped make the current space project possible.Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield sang aboard the International Space Station on May 12, 2021. His music video has become extremely popular. The astronaut played his own version of David Bowie’s song Space Oddity. He performed while floating weightlessly, with images of planet earth and space appearing in the window behind him.Chris Hadfield recently returned home after nearly five months on the space station. For him, the long flight produced a hit video on YouTube and no major physical problems. But 40 years ago, scientists did not know how humans would react to long-term spaceflight. To find out, NASA, the American space agency, launched Skylab in May, 1973. Over nearly a year, three teams of astronauts visited Skylab for stays of between 28 to 84 days. They learned how people react to extended periods in space.Gerald C arr commanded Skylab 4. He spoke at a NASA event marking the 40th anniversary of Skylab’s launch. He said that the loss of the body’s muscle mass was a main concern. Astronauts on Skylab used exercise equipment to stay strong. The astronauts spent their workdays carrying out experiments, including biomedical (生物医学的) research.Marshall Porterfield is the director of NASA’s Space Life and Physical Sciences Division. He says the Skylab astronauts’ understanding of their own ability to deal with long-term spaceflight continues to help current astronauts. NASA says the next step for life away from Earth is a year-long space station mission, set for 2021.29. Why was Chris Hadfield’s song so special?A. It was performed in space.B. It was created by an astronaut.C. It was a very familiar song.D. It was first sung by a famous singer.30. Which of the following best describes the physical condition of Chris Hadfield after his return?A. Worse.B. Better.C. Normal.D. Weaker.31. For what purpose did NASA launch Skylab?A. To research on whether human beings could stay in space.B. To gather up information on setting up a space station.C. To study the changes in the body when staying long in space.D. To find out the possibility of doing experiments in space.32. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Skylab is still in use to explore the space.B. The research results on Skylab are still valuable.C. Skylab is more advanced than the International Space Station.D. The Skylab astronauts made great contributions to biomedical research.参考答案C篇29-32 ACCBDSuppose you are thinking about attending college in the United States, but perhaps you might not be ready for a university with a four-year program. About 88,000 international students have found solution. They are attending U.S. community colleges. Such colleges are sometimes called junior colleges. They offer two years of education above the secondary or high school level.Community college students can choose from subjects like medical assistance, computer science or law. At the end of their study program, they receive a document of completion, called a certificate. Some students work toward an associate degree in traditional academic subjects like science or history. After getting it, the students can move on to a four-year college or university. They may have only two years of study left before they receive a bach elor’s degree.Many educational experts agree that saving money is the major reason to consider a community college. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) says that a public two-year college costs 3,000 dollar a year on average. That is true if the student lives in the same state as the school. A student at a four-year public college maypay 8,500 dollars a year for classes and user fees. That does not include books and other materials.Some international students may need more preparation in English before entering a community college in the United States. For example, Istrif Montgomery came to the U.S. from Kosovo in 2006. First, he worked to improve his English at Montgomery College for a year. Then for the next two years, he attended classes in basic subjects in a community college.The international students at two-year colleges need to find a place to live. Most community colleges do not provide student housing on their grounds. But Mr Montgomery had a home nearby. He was able to ride the bicycle, and he was able to walk if he wanted. In fact, most community college students live within five to ten miles off the college.33. What’s the biggest advantage of a community college?A. The classes are free of charge.B. The students can save much time.C. The students can save a lot of money.D. It is convenient for students to live in the college.34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Mr Montgomery usually goes to school on foot.B. Most students i n community colleges don’t live far away.C. 8,500 dollars covers all the cost of a four-year public college.D. International students often attend a community college directly.35. What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To encourage students to study abroad.B. To tell the international students how to save money.C. To tell us it’s a good choice to study in public colleges.D. To give some information about community colleges.参考答案D篇33-35 CBD。

江苏省徐州市2015英语阅读理解训练(2)及答案(高考一轮)AChinese politeness have always been formal to follow strict rules, although sometimes Chinese people seem to be impolite according to Western standards in public places. To well understand Chinese, some concepts should not be ignored.MianziThe idea of shame, usually expressed as 'face' could be loosely defined as the 'status' or 'self-respect' in Chinese and by no means alien to foreigners. It is the worst thing for a Chinese to lose face. Never insult, embarrass, shame, yell at or otherwise demean a person. Since all these actions would risk putting a Chinese in a situation that he might lose face, neither try to prove someone wrong nor shout at him in public. In order to get a successful effect without letting a Chinese lose face, any criticism should be delivered privately, carefully, or else, just opposite to what you wish.GuanxiThroughout much of Chinese history, the fundamental glue that has held society together is the concept of guanxi, relationships between people. It is very important for the Chinese to have good relationships. They often regard good social relations as a symbol of personal ability and influence. Someone who has no connections would be disrespected and is only half-Chinese.KeqiKeqi not only means considerate, polite, and well mannered, but also represents respect and modesty. It is impolite to talk too proudly about oneself or one's inner circle. The expression is most often used in the negative, as in buyao keqi, meaning "you shouldn't be so kind and polite to me," or "you're welcome."Besides, Chinese seldom express what they think directly and they prefer a roundabout way. Neither show their emotions and feelings in public.

Jiang Nan, a full-time mother in Beijing, keeps a dozen or so cloth bags at home, carefully selecting one or two before heading out to get groceries. “Most of them were giveaways from advertising marketing campaigns, but others had been handed out in the street by various environmental protection organizations,” she explained.
Since June 2008 China has forbidden the production,sale and usage of plastic bags thinner than 0.025 millimeter (毫米), and retailers(零售商) are not allowed to provide free plastic bags to their customers, regardless of the thickness.
Many Chinese consumers like Jiang have learned to refuse plastic bags whenever possible in their shopping. “A plastic bag may only cost a few jiao, but it’s more about how bad they are for the environment,” Jiang said.
The plastic ban is for the most part well carried out in big cities, and has been distinctly effective in reducing white waste. On the first anniversary of the plastic ban Global Village of Beijing, an NGO environmental organization, shows that during the year of the ban the consumption of plastic bags fell by about 40 billion pieces in chain supermarkets alone, saving more than 1.2 million tons of petroleum.
However, enforcement shows considerably less muscle in smaller cities,towns and cou n try side. In a remote town like Lichuan, the awareness of environmental protection is not as strong as that in big cities. Street vendors(街头小贩) worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them for plastic bags. Seeing no significance in the issue, local government often turn a blind eye to banned bag traffic in the market.
There are still those who don’t have an interest in living green. Cui Lin, another Beijinger, often forgets to bring a cloth bag when shopping, and has to buy plastic bags. “Anyway I think plastic bags are neater and cleaner, and I don’t mind paying a couple more jiao,” he shrugged.
Mrs Yu, a vegetable vendor in Lichuan County, Jiangxi Province, recalled that before plastic bags became popular in the early 1990s, Chinese people always carried a bamboo basket when they visited the market. “Plastic bags are more convenient,” she comments, and her view might be that of the tens of millions of people in the nation who still cling to plastic bags, paid or free. This is suggested by her trade where piles of plastic bags are still passed out every day.
