题组提分练23 Unit 3 Life in the future ‎ 限时35分钟 加黑体小题训练主旨大意之标题归纳题 阅读理解A　(2018·湖北重点高中联考)　体裁：说明文　话题：旅游与交通　难度：★★☆☆☆‎ Have you ever been to the tiny Welsh village‎ of ‎HayonWye, situated on the River Wye on the WelshEnglish border. In the distance, it looks like any other small European town. But HayonWye has a delightful quirk that sets it apart from other small towns. It's home to 1,400 people and hundreds of thousands of books, making it the largest center for secondhand books in the entire world.(最后一句点明主旨)‎ You won't find a Barnes and Noble in HayonWye, but what you will find is over 30 charming, cozy secondhand bookshops rich with the smell of old books.(By the way, there's a scientific reason you love that smell.) There's a bookstore specializing in outofprint children's books. A shop called “Murder and Mayhem” sells mainly crime and detective literature. And one outdoor bookshop, the Hay Castle Bookshop, is built around the walls of—you guessed it—a castle. How could a book lover possibly ask for anything more？(Though this is a Welsh town, it would be very easy to develop this Japanese literary habit here.)‎ One of the town's most unique features is its “honesty bookshops”. There are basically just bookshelves sitting out in the open, without a cashier or employee to speak of. A sign announces the prices of the books (which are often less than one U．S. dollar), and a collection box for money sits nearby. Customers are trusted to pay, on their honour. There are no security cameras or anything; just good oldfashioned trust.(书店经营理念)‎ Apart from being a popular tourist destination for literary fanatics throughout the entire year, HayonWye also throws a literary festival each year at the end of May. Bookworms from all over the world flock to this tiny village to hear famous writers speak, attend book signings, and, of course, stock up on reading material. And there's plenty for the kids to do (and read) too! Here, your child grows up loving to read.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　文章介绍了一个特别的欧洲小镇，它的人口没有书本多，书店没有营业员和收银员，每年举办吸引读书爱好者的文学节。‎ ‎1．What can be the best title of the passage?‎ 7‎ A.

But for some inspiring young musicians from the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul, the road to the famous concert hall was more difficult.‎ The Afghan Youth Orchestra(AYO) is made up of young people who study at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music. It was the first orchestra created in Afghanistan in 30 years.‎ 7‎ Gulalai Norestani, 14, plays a traditional string instrument. Like many students, Gulalai became an orphan when her parents were killed during the ongoing war. Music is her salvation (救赎). “Music for me is a language of peace，” Gulalai said. “It connects people.”‎ Milad Yousufi, 18, is a piano student. “Music is my life，” he said. Milad also lost many of his family members during the war. When music was banned, he couldn't even touch a piano. So as a 12-year-old boy, he started painting and drawing.“I used to draw a piano，” he said. Finally, Milad was free to play a real piano.“Our dream came true，”he said.“It is everyone's dream to play in Carnegie Hall.”‎ And he has more dreams.“I have a dream to continue my education in America，” he explained. “I am working hard to make that happen. Then I have a dream to come back to Afghanistan and teach and serve people.”‎ Because of continuing limits in Afghanistan, Gulalai and Milad listen mostly to the kind of classical music they played at Carnegie Hall. But Gulalai says she's heard a bit of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira and she likes them. Milad says he has heard of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, but hasn't yet had a chance to listen to them.‎ Before Milad went onstage that night with the band of Afghan kids who had survived a war, I asked him if he had ever experienced true peace. “No, not yet，” he answered, adding, “I hope I will be able to.”‎ Later during the performance, as he played one of Carnegie Hall's famous grand pianos, the look of pure joy on his face convinced me that he found peace in music.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了来自阿富汗的一些少年音乐家们到美国的卡内基音乐厅进行演奏、学习音乐的艰难历程以及音乐对他们的影响等。‎ ‎5．In the opinion of Gulalai, music ________.‎ A. makes people understand each other B. calms her down in the war C. is a kind of violent language D. saves her from the killing at war 答案与解析　A　细节理解题。由第三段最后的“‘Music for me is a language of peace，’Gulalai said.‘It connects people.’”可知，她认为音乐是一种和平的语言，可以促进人们之间的理解，故选A项。‎ ‎6.

To be educated in America.‎ 答案与解析　B　细节理解题。文章中提到，Milad有好几个梦想。但是，最终还是回到阿富汗教学，服务祖国的人民，故选B项。‎ ‎7．According to the passage, ________.‎ A. classical music is not played in ‎Afghanistan B. Gulalai knows Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber well C. the music Gulalai and Milad can hear is limited D.

A good pair of sunglasses will help you enjoy your outdoor sporting activities to the fullest. Your parents might also want to wear sunglasses when they're driving if there's a lot of snow on the ground.‎ Sunglasses have been around a long time. It wasn't until the late 1920s, though, that inexpensive, massproduced sunglasses were introduced to the United States by Sam Foster. Foster's sunglasses became popular on the beaches of Atlantic City, New ‎ Jersey‎, where he sold them under the name Foster Grant from a Woolworth store on the boardwalk.‎ Today, there are an amazing number of options when it comes to sunglasses. You 7‎ ‎ can get cheap sunglasses at discount stores for a few dollars. On the other hand, you can also get sunglasses at specialty optical shops that cost hundreds of dollars.‎ What kind of sunglasses you need and how much they cost will depend upon the materials and technologies used. For example, the cheapest sunglasses use nothing more than color glass or plastic to help protect your eyes from bright sunlight. Depending upon the color used, the sunglasses will absorb certain types of light and reflect others. ‎ More expensive sunglasses will likely have polarized lenses (偏光镜片). These special lenses help to block glare from light reflecting off of various horizontal surfaces, such as water or a highway. Polarized glasses only allow vertically polarized light through, so glare from a lake, for example, will be blocked.‎ Highquality sunglasses will also usually feature protection from various types of ultraviolet radiation (紫外线辐射). These are the sun's harmful rays that can cause sunburn and many types of eye problems. Of course, high prices don't always mean the best protection. ‎ ‎【语篇解读】　一副好的太阳镜可以帮助你享受户外体育活动。本文介绍了好的太阳眼镜能够起到保护眼睛的作用，告诉人们应该挑选什么样的太阳眼镜。‎ ‎9．What can we learn from the second paragraph?‎ A. Sunglasses were first made in the United States.‎ B. Sunglasses were not popular in the world until the late 1920s.‎ C. Many people only bought sunglasses from Foster Grant in the 1920s.‎ D. Sam Foster contributed a lot to the popularity of sunglasses in the United States.‎ 答案与解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It wasn't until the late 1920s, ... introduced to the United States by Sam Foster.”可知Sam Foster对太阳眼镜在美国的流行起到了重要作用。‎ ‎10．What would be the disadvantage of the cheapest sunglasses?‎ A. They can take in all kinds of light.‎ 7‎ B. They can hardly protect our eyes well.‎ C. They are usually made from common plastic.‎ D. They allow vertically polarized light through.‎ 答案与解析　B　细节理解题。从第四段最后一句“... rarely offer the kind of protection your eyes really need.”可知便宜的太阳眼镜不能有效保护眼睛。‎ ‎11．What kind of sunglasses does the author suggest we buy?‎ A. Sunglasses that are most expensive.‎ B. Sunglasses that absorb most UV rays.‎ C. Sunglasses that may cure our eye problems.‎ D. Sunglasses that can block ultraviolet radiation.‎ 答案与解析　D　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Instead of judging your sunglasses... what percentage of UV rays they block.”可知作者推荐读者购买能够阻挡紫外线的太阳眼镜。‎ ‎12．What is the best title of this passage?‎ A. Why are Sunglasses Important?‎ B. How to Avoid Ultraviolet Radiation?‎ C. Are Sunglasses Only Useful in Summer?‎ D. What do You Need for Outdoor Activities?‎ ‎(标题一定应含有中心词sunglasses，C项为干扰项)‎ 答案与解析　A　标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了太阳眼镜能起到保护眼睛免受紫外线伤害的作用。‎ 词汇微存　①reflect vt.反射；②to the fullest充实地 阅读技巧11　主线法定标题——标题归纳题 标题归纳题的题干中一般都有the best title, 如阅读理解第1、8、12三小题，常见设问形式有：Which of the following is the best title of the passage？解题技巧如下：寻读文章，查找是否有重复出现的词语，确定中心词；速读原文，找出各段主题句； 联系各段主题句，结合文章中心，概括出文章中心句； 结合中心词和中心句，提炼出文章的标题。文章的标题一定要新颖、醒目且与主题相关。‎ 阅读七选五　(2018·渭南质检)　体裁：说明文　话题：人际关系　难度：★★★☆☆‎ Who doesn't want to look cool and act smart in front of friends? __1__‎ Don't get excited about things easily.
