1、專題08 閱讀理解（說明文）【母題來源一】【2019全國卷I，D】During the rosy years of elementary school(小學(xué)), 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 f

2、riendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The

3、 likables plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then theres the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.Enviable

4、 as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinsteins studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage(從事)in dangerous and risky behavior.”In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two type

5、s of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(調(diào)查研究). “We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed th

6、at while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date-sharing, kindness, openness carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with

7、 others.In analyzing his and other research，Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody

11、to keep my high social status（在美好的小學(xué)時光里，我喜歡分享我的娃娃和笑話，這讓我保持了高高的社會地位。）由此推斷出，作者在小學(xué)早期時，是一個慷慨的女孩。unkind不友善的；lonely寂寞的；generous慷慨的；cool冷靜的，故選C。33.A 【解析】主旨大意題。第二段Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers.（臨床心理學(xué)教授Mitch Prins

12、tein將受歡迎的人分為兩類:討人喜歡的人和追求地位的人。）是段落主題句，本段內(nèi)容分別對the likable 和the status seekers 做了解釋，所以本段主要介紹了兩種受歡迎的分類，故選A。34.B 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment （它清楚地表明，可愛可以促使健全的調(diào)整），由此推斷出，心理學(xué)教授Mitch Prinstein的研究表明，最有人望的孩子適應(yīng)性更強，故選B。35.A 【解析】標(biāo)題歸納題。通過閱讀全文內(nèi)容，尤其是最后一段，可知這篇

13、文章主要講了受歡迎，討人喜歡對人生活的各個方面有深遠(yuǎn)的有益影響。與選項A“對別人好最終，你的收獲無窮無盡”一致，故選A?！灸割}來源二】 【2019全國卷II，D】Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts.

14、ASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? Its turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect h

15、igh school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordons students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think theyre close to a solution(解決方案). “We dont give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a pr

16、oject manager.“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other thanAre you working towards your goal? Basically, its Ive got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA. Engineers come and really do an in-person review, a

21、本文介紹了HUNCH項目就是通過Gordon的學(xué)生找到如何殺死空間站的細(xì)菌這一技術(shù)，把空間技術(shù)與帶進(jìn)課堂，與學(xué)校教育相結(jié)合，從而最終影響到大學(xué)入學(xué)。32.A 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Bacteria are annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms form our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week.”

22、可知，細(xì)菌對宇航員來說是個令人討厭的問題。這種來自我們身體的微生物在國際空間站的表面不受控制地生長，宇航員每周要花幾個小時來清理它們。也就是說它們很難去掉。其中的“the microorganisms”包括“bacteria”。由此可知， A項符合題意。33.D 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的 “HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. Gordons students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity,.”可

23、知，Hunch旨在把高中教室和NASA的工程師聯(lián)系起來。Gordon的學(xué)生一直在研究如何在零重力下殺死細(xì)菌, .”。結(jié)合最后一段中的“Gordon students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem,.”可知，學(xué)生每天都給NASA的工程師發(fā)郵件一起探討（如何殺死空間站的細(xì)菌這一空間技術(shù)）這個問題。由此可推斷出HUNCH program的目的把空間技術(shù)與學(xué)校教育相結(jié)合。分析選項可知D項符合題意。34.A 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Ive got to produce this product and the

24、n, at the end of the year ,present it to NASA, ”“Engineers come and really do an in-person review，and .Its not a very nice thing at times. Its a hard business review of your product.”可知，NASA的工程師要檢查學(xué)生所做的產(chǎn)品。分析選項可知A項符合題意，故選A。35.B 主旨大意題。文章以國際空間站里的微生物很難清除開頭，引出宇航員們解決此問題的途徑借助美國國家航空航天局的HUNCH高中班，此計劃的目的是把航天技術(shù)

25、與學(xué)校教育結(jié)合起來。在這項計劃里，學(xué)生們通過homework（制作供美國國家航空航天局使用的產(chǎn)品）探索無疆的太空，因此“太空：最后的功課疆域”最適合做文章的標(biāo)題。故選B?！灸割}來源三】 【2019全國卷III，C】Before the 1830smost newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were f

26、orbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s woul

27、d change all that.The trend, then, was toward the penny paper-a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place overn

28、ight. It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printers office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern

29、 cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny-usually two or three cents was charged-and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase penny paper caught the publics fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new

30、 trend of newspapers for the man on the street did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企業(yè))were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the b

31、all rolling.28. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?A. Academic.B. Unattractive.C. Inexpensive.D. Confidential.29. What did street sales mean to newspapers?A. They would be priced higher.B. They would disappear from cities.C. They could have more readers.D. T

32、hey could regain public trust.30. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?A. Local politicians.B. Common people.C. Young publishers.D. Rich businessmen.31. What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?A. It was a difficult process.B. It was a temporary success.C. It was a robbery

33、of the poor.D. It was a disaster for printers.【語篇解讀】本文為說明文。文章敘述了“便士報紙”的誕生歷史。28.B 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Before1830s，. Accordingly newspapers were read almost only by rich people. In addition ,most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding.”可知

34、，在19世紀(jì)30年代之前,只有富人才能讀報紙，而且大多數(shù)報紙中幾乎沒有能吸引大眾的內(nèi)容，讓人感覺無聊，視覺上令人望而卻步。由此可得出那時的報紙沒有什么吸引力。分析選項，A . Academic學(xué)術(shù)的；B. Unattractive沒有吸引力， 無魅力的； C. Inexpensive廉價的，不貴的； D. Confidential機(jī)密的，保密的?？芍?A、C和D是錯誤的，只有B符合題意，故選B。29.C 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段提到“便士報紙”針對大眾，很便宜的。更重要的是，在街上可以買的到報紙。 結(jié)合第三段中間的“streets sales of newspapers would be

35、 commonplaced in eastern cities”可知，報紙的街頭銷售隨處可見。由此可推斷出，街頭銷售意味讀報紙的多了。分析選項可知C符合題，故選C。30.B 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“The trend, then, was penny papera term referring to papers made widely available to the public. perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.”可

36、知，這種“便士報紙”針對大眾的，在街上可以買的到報紙。分析選項可知，選項B符合題意，故選B。31.A 【解析】推理判斷題。第二段“The trend, then, was penny paper”及最后一段“The new trend of newspapers for the man on the street did not begin well. Some of the early ventures were immediately failures. Publishers already in business, people who owners of successful pape

37、rs, had little desires to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.”可知，“便士報紙”新趨勢一開始并不好，一些早期的嘗試立即失敗了。已經(jīng)進(jìn)入商業(yè)領(lǐng)域的成功的出版商，并不想改變這一傳統(tǒng)。后來一些年輕而大膽的商人才推動了這件事。由此可推斷出“便士報紙”的誕生是一個困難而曲折的過程。分析選項可知，A項符合題意，故選A。【命題意圖】 閱讀理解從能力的角度來講，考查學(xué)生運用英語的能力，具體地說，就是通過閱讀有關(guān)文章提取有用信息的能力。【

38、考試方向】 所謂說明文，就是指研究自然科學(xué)與技術(shù)的文章。說明文是對事物或事理進(jìn)行客觀說明的一種文體，它以說明為主要表達(dá)方式，通過解說事物或闡明事理，達(dá)到教人以知識的目的，在結(jié)構(gòu)上往往采用總分、遞進(jìn)等方式按一定的順序（如時間、空間、從現(xiàn)象到本質(zhì)）進(jìn)行說明。說明文的特點是客觀、簡練、語言準(zhǔn)確、明了，文章很少表達(dá)作者的感情傾向。閱讀說明文的重點在于讀懂它說明的事物或事理，了解事物的性質(zhì)、構(gòu)造、成因、功能等，了解事理的含意、特點等。最近五年，說明文的出現(xiàn)變化不大，一直很穩(wěn)定，選材通常是各學(xué)科的前沿問題；高科技領(lǐng)域的科研成果；人們比較關(guān)心的社會問題；人文方面的經(jīng)典。由于閱讀理解題的設(shè)置采用漸進(jìn)式，即由簡

39、到難的方式，因此說明文是高考試卷中閱讀理解題中相對比較難的，通常后置。閱讀理解試題的中要考點之一是考查學(xué)生對詞匯和句式的掌握。說明文的詞匯和句式的運用較別的體裁的文章難度更大。詞匯運用靈活，同一詞的不同詞性的用法交替出現(xiàn)，未列入考綱的生詞較多，通常達(dá)到了4-5%。不過考生可以通過說明文的語言特點來幫助理解語篇，例如，同位語、下定義、解釋、舉例、同義詞、反義詞、上下義詞以及標(biāo)點符號（如破折號、冒號都有表示解釋和說明）等。【得分要點】高考閱讀理解中，說明文為主要體裁之一。高考閱讀理解題的設(shè)問主要圍繞以下四方面：細(xì)節(jié)事實題、主旨大意題、推理判斷題、猜測詞義題。其中，說明文主要以細(xì)節(jié)事實、主旨大意和猜

40、測詞義三方面問題為主。一、詞義猜測類題型閱讀理解題中常要求學(xué)生猜測某些單詞或短語的意思。歷年英語高考題中均有此類題目，有的文章盡管沒有專門設(shè)題，但由于文章中常常出現(xiàn)生詞，因此，詞義的猜測還是貫穿在文章的閱讀理解之中。解這類題目一般是通過上下文去理解或根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法去猜測。判斷一個單詞的意思不但離不開句子，而且還需要把句子放在上下文中，根據(jù)上下文提供的線索加以猜測。運用構(gòu)詞法,語境等推測關(guān)鍵詞義，可以根據(jù)以下幾種方法猜測：（一）內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系根據(jù)內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系推測詞義是指運用語言知識分析和判斷相關(guān)信息之間存在的邏輯關(guān)系，然后根據(jù)邏輯關(guān)系推斷生詞詞義。1.通過同義詞和反義詞的關(guān)系猜詞通過同義詞猜詞，一是要

41、看由and或or連接的同義詞詞組，如happy and gay，即使我們不認(rèn)識gay這個詞，也可以知道它是愉快的意思.這是高三冊第八單元閱讀第五段的句子：The word secure in paragraph 5 line is closest in meaning to_.A.freefromanxiety B.anxious C.nervous D.happy根據(jù)上下文和同義詞，可以選出答案A。二是看在進(jìn)一步解釋的過程中使用的同義詞，如Man has known something about the planets Venus，Mars，and Jupiter with the hel

42、p of spaceships. 此句中的Venus（金星）,Mars（火星）,Jupiter（木星）均為生詞，但只要知道planets就可猜出這幾個詞都屬于行星這一義域.通過反義詞猜詞，一是看表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的連詞或副詞，如but，while，however等；二是看與not搭配的或表示否定意義的詞語，如：He is so homely，not at all as handsome as his brother.根據(jù)not at all.handsome我們不難推測出homely的意思，即不英俊,不漂亮的意思。2.根據(jù)因果關(guān)系猜測詞義通過因果關(guān)系猜詞，首先是找出生詞與上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系，然后才能

43、猜詞。有時文章借助關(guān)聯(lián)詞（如because，as，since，for，so，thus，as a result，of course，therefore等等）表示前因后果。例如：You shouldnt have blamed him for that，for it wasnt his fault.通過for引出的句子所表示的原因（那不是他的錯），可猜出blame的詞義是責(zé)備。3.通過定義或釋義關(guān)系來推測詞義例如：But sometimes，no rain falls for a long，long time. Then there is a dry period，or drought.從drou

44、ght所在句子的上文我們得知很久不下雨，于是便有一段干旱的時期，即drought，由此可見drought意思為久旱，旱災(zāi)。而a dry period和drought是同義語。這種同義或釋義關(guān)系常由is，or，that is，in other words，be called或破折號等來表示。4.通過句法功能來推測詞義例如：Bananas，oranges，pineapples，coconuts and some other kind of fruit grow in warm areas.假如pineapples和coconuts是生詞，我們可以從這兩個詞在句中所處的位置來判斷它們大致的意思。從句

45、中不難看出pineapples，coconuts和bananas，oranges是同類關(guān)系，同屬fruit類，因此它們是兩樣水果，準(zhǔn)確地說，是菠蘿和椰子。5.通過描述猜詞描述即作者為幫助讀者更感性地了解某人或某物而對該人或該物作出的外在相貌或內(nèi)在特征的描寫。例如The penguin is a kind of sea bird living in the South Pole. It is fat and walks in a funny way. Although it cannot fly，it can swim in the icy water to catch the fish.從例句

46、的描述中可以得知penguin是一種生活在南極的鳥類.后面更詳盡地描述了該鳥類的生活習(xí)性。（二）外部相關(guān)因素外部相關(guān)因素是指篇章（句子或段落）以外的其他知識，有時僅靠分析篇章內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系無法猜出詞義。這時，就需要運用生活經(jīng)驗和普通常識確定詞義。例如：The snakes lithered through the grass.根據(jù)有關(guān)蛇的生活習(xí)性的知識，我們可以推斷出slither詞義為爬行。（三）構(gòu)詞法在閱讀文章時，我們總會遇上一些新詞匯，有時很難根據(jù)上下文來推斷其詞意，而它們對文章的理解又有著舉足輕重的作用，此時，如掌握了一些常用的詞根,前綴,后綴,合成等構(gòu)詞法知識，這些問題便不難解決了。1

47、.根據(jù)前綴猜測詞義例如：He fell into a ditch and lay there，semi-conscious，for a few minutes.根據(jù)詞根conscious（清醒的，有意識的），結(jié)合前綴semi（半，部分的，不完全的），我們便可猜出semiconscious詞義半清醒的，半昏迷的。Im illiterate about such things.詞根lit-erate意為有文化修養(yǎng)的，通曉的，前綴il表示否定，因此illiterate指一竅不通，不知道的。2.根據(jù)后綴猜測詞義例如：Insecticide is applied where it is needed.后

48、綴cide表示殺者，殺滅劑，結(jié)合大家熟悉的詞根insect（昆蟲），不難猜出insecticide意為殺蟲劑。Then the vapor may change into droplets.后綴let表示小的，詞根drop指滴，滴狀物。將兩個意思結(jié)合起來，便可推斷出droplet詞義小滴，微滴。3.根據(jù)復(fù)合詞的各部分猜測詞義例如：Growing economic problems were high-lighted by a slowdown in oil output. Hightlight或許是一個生詞，但是分析該詞結(jié)構(gòu)后，就能推測出其含義。它是由high（高的，強的）和light（光線）

49、兩部分組成，合在一起便是以強光照射，使突出的意思。Bullfight is very popular in Spain. Bull（公牛）和fight（打，搏斗）結(jié)合在一起，指一種在西班牙頗為流行的體育運動斗牛。二、主旨大意類題型主旨大意類題型主要測試學(xué)生對文章全面理解和概括的能力，提問的內(nèi)容可能是全文的大意，也可能是某段的段落大意，一般不易在文中直接找到答案。怎樣把握主旨大意題呢？通常有以下幾種方法：（一）閱讀文章的標(biāo)題或副標(biāo)題文章的標(biāo)題是一篇文章的題眼，通過閱讀標(biāo)題或副標(biāo)題可以迅速把握文章的主旨大意。（二）尋找文章的主題句分析篇章結(jié)構(gòu)，找出文章主題。在許多情況下，尤其在閱讀說明文和議論文時

50、，根據(jù)其篇章特點我們可以通過仔細(xì)閱讀短文的第一句或第二句,即文章的主題句來歸納出文章的主題.若短文由若干段組成，除仔細(xì)閱讀第一段的首句外，還須仔細(xì)閱讀每一段的第一句，即段落中心.通常文章的中心思想包含在文章的首句，有時也在文章的末句，其他句子都是用來說明和闡述主題句。因此，在確定文章的中心思想時，要求學(xué)生重視閱讀文章的首句和末句。但也有一些文章，中心思想常常貫穿在全文中，因此要求學(xué)生綜觀全文，對段落的內(nèi)容要融會貫通，對文章透徹理解后歸納總結(jié)。主題句的特點是：1.相對于其他句子，它表達(dá)的意思比較概括；2.主題句一般結(jié)構(gòu)簡單；3.段落中其他句子必定是用來解釋,支撐或發(fā)展主題句所表達(dá)的思想的?？傊?/p>

51、為提高閱讀理解能力，在閱讀時應(yīng)抓中心思想,作者意圖及關(guān)鍵詞語，運用聯(lián)想,比較,歸納,推測等方法，得出最佳結(jié)論，選擇最佳答案，不能主觀臆測，把自己的觀點強加進(jìn)去，與文章的觀點混為一談。經(jīng)過長時間有計劃,有目的的系統(tǒng)訓(xùn)練，使學(xué)生加快閱讀速度，提高閱讀的正確性，使兩者有機(jī)地統(tǒng)一起來，以提高學(xué)生閱讀英語和運用英語進(jìn)行交際的能力，為繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)和運用英語切實打好基礎(chǔ).閱讀是一種綜合性很強的語言實際活動。我們只有進(jìn)行大量的課內(nèi)外閱讀，掌握一定的閱讀技巧，正確運用閱讀方法，才能有效地提高閱讀理解能力?！灸割}1】【天津市紅橋區(qū)2019屆高三下學(xué)期第一次模擬考試】Your next Saturday night t

52、akeaway could be brought to you by a robot after a major food delivery company announced plans to use automated vehicles to transport meals. Europes biggest online takeaway food company Just Eat has partnered with Starship Technologies to deliver food with robots on the streets of London later this

53、month. “Nobody has ever done deliveries with land-based robots,” said Allan Martinson, the chief operating officer of Starship.The robot courier can travel up to 4 miles per hour for about 10 miles. It uses a GPS signal and nine cameras to navigate (確定方向). Instead of a person arriving at their door,

54、 customers could find themselves receiving a notification on their phone that says a robot is on its way and a code to unlock the automated courier. “Put the code in, the robot opens up, and theres your food,” said David Buttress, chief manager of Just Eat.The robot, which has so far been tested in

55、Greenwich, Milton Keynes and Glastonbury, costs 1 to transport within 3 miles, compared with the 3 to 6 it costs for a human courier. To date 30 robots have driven nearly 5,000 miles without getting into an accident or finding themselves picked on by passers-by. They have driven in more than 40 citi

56、es around the world, including London and Tallinn, Estonia.An initial worry was how the public would react to robots. But Martinson said the public has been calm when passing the delivery machine on the streets. “The most surprising reaction has been the lack of reaction,” said Martinson.Another sig

57、nificant fear was that people would disrupt (擾亂) the robots, or try to steal them and their contents. To prevent this, the robot is fitted with nine cameras, two way audio, and movement sensors that send a warning if it is lifted off the ground. And it opens only with a passcode provided to the cust
