高考英语二轮复习第2部分专题1追本溯源突破阅读理解 41页

真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 1 专题一 追本溯源 突破阅读理解 得阅读者得高分 阅读是语言文字学科最突出的特征之一，阅读理解是考查英语阅读能力的最基本方式。深入分析近几年的阅读理解题目可以发现有如下特点： 一、文章选取：体裁多元化，题材丰富化 体裁以记叙文、说明文、议论文为主，以应用文为辅；选材多源于英文报刊、网络媒体等，以社会文化、科普知识、人物传记、时文报道、 史地常识、生态环保为主，间有饮食健康、广告宣传、文学作品、逸闻趣事、情感人生等主题，贴近实际生活。 二、语篇组织：结构复杂化，用词高级化 阅读理解所选文章的语篇结构都较复杂，考生不易把握，且高考对词汇运用的要求越来越高，活用词比比皆是，凡是能用构词法推断出词义 的单词都不视为生词，纯超纲词汇也屡有出现，一词多义、熟词生义现象更为常见。 三、试题设置：题型稳定化，考查复杂化 高考阅读理解的题型一直比较稳定，分为五大题型：一是细节理解题，考查范围最广；二是主旨大意题，包括主要内容(main idea)概括和标 题(title)归纳；三是推理判断题；四是词义猜测题，包括词义题、句意题和指代题；五是篇章结构题。 第一节 考点点拨话策略 1．带着问题，速读全文 首先要掌握问题的类型，分清是客观信息题还是主观判断题；其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行 扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。 【典例】 (2016·高考全国乙卷阅读理解 A) Jane Addams ( 1860—1935 ) Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need.In 1931，Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. 21．What is Jane Addams noted for in history? A．Her social work. B．Her teaching skills. C．Her efforts to win a prize. D．Her community background. 解析：选 A。细节理解题。根据 Jane Addams 下的第一句话 Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.(任 何一个受到社会工作者帮助的人都要感谢 Jane Addams)可知，在历史上，Jane Addams 以她的社会工作而出名，与 A 项相符。文中未提及 her teaching skills(她的教学技能)，只是谈到了 promoting education(促进教育)，故 B 项与文章不符； Jane Addams 获得了诺贝尔和平奖，但她不是因努力去获奖而出名的，根本上还是因为她做的社会工作，而且她也并非为了获奖才付出努力， 故 C 项错误；是她的社会工作，以及她鼓励的社区感让她出名；D 项 Her community background.(她的社区背景)与此不相符。 2．找准主题句，确定中心思想 每篇文章均讲述一个主题，不管它有几个段落，它们都围绕着一个中心思想。确定了中心思想，即抓住了关键。随后搜寻关键词、主题句， 捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。速读全文对于主旨大意题的解决尤其有效，能快速抓住主干、确定好 答案。 【典例】 (2015·高考全国卷Ⅱ阅读理解 B)[1]Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan. … 28．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Is Your House Making You Fat? B．Ways of Serving Dinner C．Effects of SelfConsciousness D．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing? 答案及剖析：A 通过首段最后一句可知整篇文章属于总分结构，第一段就是文章的主题段。段落中的关键词 Your house，pounds，diet 对 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 2 应了正确选项 A 中的 your house，fat。 3．精准推理，深层理解 深层理解主要包括归纳概括题(归纳中心思想、加标题等)和推理判断题，是阅读理解中的难点。深层理解是一种创造性的思维活动。它必须 忠实于原文；要以文章提供的事实和线索为依据，立足已知推断未知，不能凭空想象，随意揣测；它要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘 和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。只有吃透文章的字面意思，推理才有前提和基础。 【典例】 (2015·高考全国卷Ⅰ阅读理解 D)[2]A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn't seem more unFrench.But Lehanne's psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It's trying to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafes.Over the years，Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle—longer working hours，a fastfood boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home.Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation.Cafes focused around psychology，history，and engineering are catching on，filling tables well into the evening. 33．How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes? A．They are less frequently visited. B．They stay open for longer hours. C．They have bigger night crowds. D．They start to serve fast food. 答案及剖析：A 根据题干关键信息词 French lifestyle changes 可以定位到第二段。由 Over the years，Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle—longer working hours，a fastfood boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home. 可知，这些年来，巴黎人的咖啡馆已经沦为受害者，因为法国人的生活方式发生了改变，例如工作时间的加长、快餐的出现以及年轻人渴望 在家里度过更多的时间。由此可以推断出人们来咖啡馆的次数减少了。故选项 A 正确。B、C 两项所述恰恰是咖啡馆人气更旺的表现，与文章内容 不符；D 项是对 a fastfood boom 的误解。 4．猜词悟义，清除阅读障碍 在做阅读理解题时，常常会遇到不认识的单词、看不懂的句子等。这时考生不要紧张，而应运用学过的语言知识，通过逻辑思维，去推断出 此单词和整个句子的含义。我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜”，通过构词、语法、定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、上下文等线索确定词义、句意。 【典例】 (2016·高考全国乙卷阅读理解 C) I am Peter Hodes，a volunteer stem cell courier．Since March 2012，I've done 89 trips—of those，51 have been abroad.I have 42 hours to carry stem cells (干细胞) in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.In all，from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor (捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient，we've got 72 hours at most.So I am always conscious of time. 29．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1? A．provider B．delivery man C．collector D．medical doctor 解析：选 B。词义猜测题。根据画线单词后的 I've done 89 trips 以及．..from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient，we've got 72 hours ...可知，“我”是一个运送干细胞的人，运送有严格的时间限制，故 B 项“送货员”与之相符合。其他三项的意思：provider 供应者；collector 收集者，收藏家；medical doctor 医生。 5．重叠选项，定位答案 通过题干返回原文，判断四个选项，抓住选项中的关键词，把选项定位到原文的某处比较，重叠选项，选出答案。注意要有选一个答案的理 由和不选其余三个的理由。 正确答案的特征： (1)正确答案经常与中心思想有关。 (2)正确答案的位置，最常见的三个位置是：段首段尾处、转折处、因果处。 (3)正确答案经常运用的原则：同义替换、正话反说、反话正说。 (4)从语气角度来看，正确答案中经常含有不肯定的语气词和委婉表达的用词。例如：can，may，might，possible，not necessarily，some。 (5)正确答案经常具有概括性、深刻性，不能只见树木不见森林。 【典例】 (2015·高考全国卷Ⅱ阅读理解 D)Tour C—Windsor Castle & Hampton Court including entrance fees to Hampton Court Palace— ￡34 until 11 March and ￡37 thereafter. Includes a guided tour of Windsor and Hampton Court，Henry Ⅷ's favourite palace.Free time to visit Windsor Castle(entrance fees not included)．With 500 years of history，Hampton Court was once the home of four Kings and one Queen.Now this former royal palace is open to the public as a major tourist attraction.Visit the palace and its various historic gardens，which include the famous maze(迷宫)where it is easy to get lost! 35．Why is Hampton Court a major tourist attraction? 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 3 A．It used to be the home of royal families. B．It used to be a wellknown maze. C．It is the oldest palace in Britain. D．It is a worldfamous castle. 答案及剖析：A 根据 Tour C 部分中的．..Hampton Court was once the home of four Kings and one Queen.Now，this former royal palace... 可知，这个地方曾经是四个国王和一个女王的宫殿，因此成为了主要的旅游景点。这与 A 项中的 royal families(皇室)吻合，故选 A。B 项中的 maze 应该是在宫殿的花园中，与 D 项都不是成为主要旅游景点的原因；C 项中的 oldest 的说法在文中没有信息依据。 A (2016·河北衡水点睛联考) When you get a job interview，it is the chance that you impress the employer and prove you really are the right person for the job.The following key points may be the important steps you can take to ensure you make a good impression from the beginning： Be Prepared Research the company thoroughly before the job interview.Read through the company website to gain a thorough understanding of what does its values，clients or audience and any technologies it uses.You should also Google the company and read any press releases.Note important issues or points you can discuss at the interview.Take copies of the job description with you to the interview.Don't be afraid of showing off，you can bet the other candidates won't be holding back!

Formerly the home of one of the most profitable fishing industries，Great Yarmouth is a busy and very popular seaside 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 5 resort.Undoubtedly，one of the most popular attractions is Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach，a historic freeentry pleasure park， which draws annually 1.5 million visitors. The two piers(突堤码头)，Britannia Pier and Wellington Pier，both contain familyorientated entertainment.As well as the usual thrills one would expect on a classic British seafront，Great Yarmouth also has a quieter side，with a fascinating heritage quarter to explore. Not many people know that Great Yarmouth has the most complete city walls after York，with heritage walks to help you discover this medieval (中世纪的)attraction along with several museums and houses dating back to many centuries.If ghost walks are more your cup of tea，Eerie Tales and Yarmouth Yarns is the tour for you. Great Yarmouth is also a centre for the North Sea oil and gas industry and increasingly for offshore wind power.The Great Yarmouth Outer Harbour is a huge development currently taking place which can see larger ships coming to the town.The Great Yarmouth Maritime (海上的) Festival in September each year celebrates Great Yarmouth's maritime heritage. Over the past few years，Great Yarmouth has seen significant construction spending to improve and modernise the popular seafront area and to ensure it is linked to the town centre.Regent Road has a brilliant ceiling of light which is lit up in the evenings and is now a lovely street leading from the town centre to the seafront area. 8．What can we infer about the tour of the heritage area?

In our daily life，we celebrated together with our friends or family members every birthday，every graduation，and all holidays with music and dancing，typical foods.When we visited our family in the countryside－a trip that took about two hours in a car， with five children fighting as to who would get a window or the front seat－we would break into song，and somehow the trip would turn into one full of happiness and fun.We would sing not only interesting children's songs but also beautiful love songs－songs about the love of the country though we didn't understand the meaning of the words many times. I came to Philadelphia for the first time in 1973 to do a residency(实习)in family medicine.I remember the many hours of work.I was facing issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race.These were all aggravated by my feeling of cultural differences. An important turning point in my life happened one Saturday night when I attended a concert of Puerto Rican singer and composer Antonio Cabán Vale.The music showed my familiar rhythms，and the words spoke to my heart.I had found a space to express，celebrate， and share my culture in Philadelphia.Therefore，I believe diversity is seen as an advantage and not as a disadvantage.As a Puerto Rican，I am a mixture of races and I believe in my strength because of this. 12．What do we know about the author's parents? A．They lived a welloff life. B．They were famous in Puerto Rico. C．They had different cultural values. D．They took cultural values seriously. 13．Why does the author mention the trip in Paragraph 2?

D．Caused. 15．What did the concert make the author aware of? A．The possibility of celebrating her own culture. B．The right to share one's culture with others. C．The happiness of possessing unique cultural values. D．The right of cultures to coexist in society. 【解题导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己家庭的文化价值观以及自己在文化差异中的经历等内容阐述了自己对文化差异的看法。 【长难句解读】 We would sing not only interesting children's songs but also beautiful love songs－songs about the love of the country though we didn't understand the meaning of the words many times. 分析：本句是复合句。not only...but also...连接两个并列宾语；songs about the love...是 love songs 的同位语；though 引导的是让 步状语从句。 译文：我们不仅唱有趣的儿童歌曲，而且还唱动听的抒情歌曲——有关热爱祖国的歌曲，尽管我们很多时候还不懂歌词的意思。 12．解析：选 D。考查细节理解。从第一段的“Both of my parents were struggling...cherish those cultural values that shaped our everyday life”可知，即使在困难时期，作者的父母也非常重视文化价值观。故答案选 D 项。 13．解析：选 B。考查推理判断。从第二段的内容可知，作者一家人一路欢歌，尽管他们很多时候还不懂歌词的意思，但他们享受其中的快 乐。再结合全文的内容可知，作者提及这一段旅程的目的是说明文化价值观带来的乐趣。故答案选 B 项。 14．解析：选 A。考查词义猜测。从第三段的“issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race”可知，作者意识到了不平等、贫困、种族等社会问题，而当作者想到文化差异时，作者认为这些情况更严重了。故该词意为 “恶化，加重”，跟 A 项同义。 易错点拨：本题的易错项是 D，考生会误以为“这些是由我的文化差异的感觉引起的”，但 These 指的是“issues of life and death and 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 7 suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race”，这显然不是因文化差异的感觉而产生的，故排除 D 项。 15．解析：选 D。考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Therefore，I believe diversity is seen as an advantage and not as a disadvantage.As a Puerto Rican，I am a mixture of races and I believe in my strength because of this”可知，Therefore 后面的内容是结果，而原因 自然是前面提到的作者听音乐会的经历，作者由听音乐会的经历受到启发，认为对社会而言，文化差异是优势而不是劣势，由此可推知，作者认 为不同的文化有权利共存。 第二节 拨云见日——巧解细节理解 《考试说明》指出：文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括 文章中心思想的基础。 命题人员往往会要求考生根据不同的要求，阅读文章以获得某些特定的信息或准确地寻求所需的细节。这类试题有时比较直接，理解字面意 思即可答题；有时则较为间接，需要归纳、概括和推理才能答题。细节理解题占阅读理解总题量的 50%以上。 [设题方式——知方向] 细节理解题常见的命题方式有以下几种： 1．Which of the following is NOT included/mentioned in the passage? 2．Which of the following(sentences/statements)is NOT true according to the passage? 3．According to the passage，all of the following are true except/but ． 4．The author mentions all of the following except ． 5．In the passage，the author states that ． 6．According to the passage，when(where，why，how，who，etc.)．.. 7．Choose the right order of the events given in the passage. 8．Which of the following maps/diagrams gives the right position of...? 9．Which of the drawings below gives an idea of...? [解题技巧——明方法] 1．直接/间接信息题：速读题干抓“关键”，“跳读”文章锁信息 2．信息排序题：先定排头后定尾 先确定第一个，然后确定最后一个，最后根据原文确定中间几个的排序。 3．正误判断题：题干原文静心觅 在解答时要带着原题回到原文中，看它们之间的吻合性。这类题目头绪繁杂，在解题时一定要避免急躁心理。 4．数字计算题：“加减乘除”巧破解 弄清询问数据与原文数据的因果关系，必要时进行加减乘除或单位换算。 [干扰特点——晓陷阱] 1．扩大或缩小范围 为了表达准确严密，文章对范围的限定很重视。通常是通过加上相应的词语限制，如涉及数量时常用 many，almost all，nearly，more than， over，only a few，normally 等限制。而干扰项是改变或去掉限定词语，甚至是扩大或缩小语言范围。 2．偷换概念 命题者设计试题时往往把原文的概念偷换成另一个不同的概念。望文生义是造成错误的主要原因。 3．正误并存 在干扰项中，某个句子或词语是正确的，其他分句或词语是错误的或表达不全面，正误并存，命题者借此以假乱真。只要选项局部有误或选 项不全面，都属应排除的干扰项。 下面这些线索词能够反映句子间的逻辑关系。如：because，since，for，as 等表示因果关系；after，first，next，later，meantime 等表 示时间关系；above，below，behind，in front of 等表示方位关系；but，on the contrary，on the other hand 等表示转折或相对关系；furthermore， what’s more 等表示递进关系；for instance，for example，such as 等表示例证关系。这些表示逻辑关系的词语能为考生解答细节题提供重要 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 8 的线索，考生要特别注意。 (2016·高考全国甲卷阅读理解 A) What's On?

D．8.30pm—10.30pm. 解析：选 C。细节理解题。从题干可知解本题的信息来自最后一则广告，该广告开头就交代了时间：晚上 8 点到 11 点，因此选 C 项。 [语篇脉络] 答案：1.What's on 2.Electric Underground 3.Charlotte Stone 4.Gee Whizz A (2016·山东济宁模拟)Many comic books have characters that challenge everything we know about physics and biology.A man who heals from bullet wounds in seconds.A hero brought to his knees in the presence of a mysterious element.A heroine who carries a rope that forces someone to tell the truth.While it can be fun to imagine how such abilities could exist，most comic book heroes resist science； they don't teach it.The American Physical Society is trying to change that with Spectra. Lucy is an ordinary middle school student at Nikola Tesla Middle School.She likes to spend science class with friends.Then one day，she discovers a very personal connection with physics.She's a human laser! When the girl's friends go missing，Lucy becomes the superhero Spectra.To save her friends，she uses her laser powers to fly，cut through walls and appear in many places at once. Spectra's adventures also show important physics lessons.Each comic book provides science projects that go along with the story.Melting Hershey Kisses suggests how different metals conduct heat.Stirring ketchup into water shows what different viscosities －or the “thicknesses” of fluids—look like.Numbers and other data from each experiment provide the information that Spectra and her friends can use to save the world from the villain of the week. The concepts might be confusing，however，without the aid of a lesson plan.Spectra saves the world with her laser powers.But the comic book never fully explains what a laser is，how diffraction works or why different wavelengths of light appear as different colors.The comic also refers to products that use lasers.Yet it never actually shows how these products (such as iPods) make use of that technology.Having a teacher around to provide definitions and details will help readers glean the most from Spectra's tales and the recommended experiments. The American Physical Society developed the series，and produced the first issue in 2009.There are now five issues to choose from.Spectra's tales are free on its website.Teachers can also download a special (and free) edition. 1．The first paragraph implies that heroes in comic books ． A．find magic power on science B．make full use of physics or biology C．challenge the power of science D．don't show respect for science 2．According to the text，Spectra focuses on ． A．spreading science in Spectra's adventures B．providing the victory of the beauty over the ugly C．telling the wide use of laser in our life D．encouraging kids to learn from heroes 3．The fourth paragraph is mainly about ． A．whether the teachers can use Spectra in class B．what shortcomings Spectra has 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 10 C．why the concepts are confusing in Spectra D．how laser is defined in Spectra 4．We can infer that the text is ． A．an ad for products using lasers B．a description of a girl hero C．an introduction to a new book D．an explanation of the science of law 【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了美国物理学会出版的一系列科幻小说，它们主要用来介绍科学知识。 1．解析：选 D。推理判断题。根据第一段的 most comic book heroes resist science；they don't teach it.可知，这些科幻小说虽然描 写了科学等方面的知识，但是它们却不传授科学知识。 2．解析：选 A。细节理解题。结合第二段和第三段前两句话 Spectra's adventures also show important physics lessons.Each comic book provides science projects that go along with the story.可知，这本书通过 Spectra 的冒险历程来传授科学方面的知识。 3．解析：选 B。段落大意题。结合第四段的 The concepts might be confusing...Spectra's tales and the recommended experiments. 可知这本书没有解释什么是激光，以及一些产品如何利用这些技术等，所以选 B 项。 4．解析：选 C。推理判断题。根据最后一段的 The American Physical Society developed the series，and produced the first issue in 2009...Teachers can also download a special(and free)edition.可知，这是一篇介绍新书的文章。 B The English proficiency of Chinese women is much better than that of men ， according to a study released in Shanghai yesterday.Chinese women scored three points higher than men in the English Proficiency Index (英语水平指数) released by EF Education， a language training company，mainly English.Worldside，women scored one point higher than men on average. “This shows that Chinese women are more used to the Chinese education mode，the report said.Chinese women use their gift of language to gain success.” However，Chinese mainlanders' English proficiency ranked second to last in Asia，despite the great time and effort that many people invest in learning the language，the report said.China's mainland is ranked the 36th in the index of 54 countries and regions where English is not the native language.That's down by seven places comparing with that last year. The Chinese mainland belongs to the lowproficiency tier(低水平层次) and is ranked just above Thailand in Asia.This year's index has increased the weight of listening tests，while decreasing the importance of grammar and vocabulary exams，which partly caused the ranking change，researchers said.Moreover，testoriented (以考试为目的) and rotebased (死记硬背) learning methods often used in China hurt the language skills of Chinese students，education experts said. The study compared test scores of more than 1.7 million adults in the 54 countries and regions.Sweden，Denmark and the Netherlands have the best command of English，while Libya has the lowest English proficiency level.European countries generally performed well.But Italy，Spain and Portugal，some of the countries at the heart of the euro zone crisis，are being dragged down by poor English， according to the report.Singapore is 12th，the best in Asia，followed by Malaysia and India，South Korea，at 21st，and Japan， at 22nd，performed disappointingly low despite their focus on education，the report said. One in every four people frequently uses English at work on China's mainland，nevertheless nearly 15 percent said they never use English，lower than the world average level，according to the study. 5．What is EF Education? A．It is a language test organization. B．It is an English teaching school. C．It is a language training company. D．It is an organization studying human. 6．By what do Chinese women gain success in English learning? A．Cheating. B．Gift. C．Learning by heart. D．Asking for help. 7．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Chinese mainlanders' English proficiency ranked second in the index of 54 countries and regions. B．Chinese mainlanders' English proficiency ranked 29th last year. C．The Chinese mainland belongs to the midproficiency tier. D．This year's index has increased the weight of grammar and vocabulary exams. 【解题导语】 昨日，上海发布的一项调查结果显示，中国女性的英语水平比男性高很多。EF 教育公司发布的英语水平指数中，女性比男性 得分高，世界范围内女性的英语水平也比男性平均高一个百分点。 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 11 5．解析：选 C。细节理解题。根据第一段．..EF Education，a language training company，mainly English.“EF 教育，一个主要业务为 英语的语言培训公司。”可知答案为 C。 6．解析：选 B。细节理解题。根据第二段 Chinese women use their gift of language to gain success.“中国女性运用她们的天赋获得 成功。”可知答案为 B。 7．解析：选 B。主旨大意题。根据第三段 China's mainland...comparing with that last year.“中国大陆在把英语作为第二语言的 54 个国家和地区中排名 36 名，与去年同期相比下降了 7 位。”可知，中国大陆去年的排名是 29 位。故选 B。 C Here are some of the movies that inspire you to travel. The Lord of the Rings The story is about Frodo，his friends and their adventurous journey through Middleearth.Filmed in about 150 locations all over New Zealand，this travel movie shows its beauty.From the rolling hills of Matamata to the volcanic region of Mt Ruapehu，this is the best movie to see New Zealand.Also，this travel movie might have the only distinction of being inspired by travel.The director of the movie Peter Jackson first read the novel on a train going from Wellington to Auckland when he was just seventeen.

Generally speaking，there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Speed—this is the biggest advantage to mention.Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7. New passwords—instead of typing your passwords，Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your passwords.This is not only practical but also extremely cool! Windows 8 experience—apart from computers，Windows 8 will be used on all devices，including smartphones，tablet PC’s and so on.Also，owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind，Windows 8，besides using the keyboard and mouse，will offer a whole new user experience. However，there are still some disadvantages. The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start menu from Windows.Yes，there is no Start button in the lower left corner，and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users.Also，many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface(界 面)introduced by Windows 8.The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users，and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse. 12．What do “plus sides” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A．Math symbols. B．Strengths. C．New rules. D．Messages. 13．According to the text the greatest advantage of Windows 8 is its ． A．complex passwords B．high speed C．unique experience D．new interface 14．From the text we can learn that Windows 8 ． A．no longer requires a password B．was upgraded from Windows 95 C．will be popular with desktop users D．can be used on more than computers 15．Many Windows 8 users face the problem that ． A．the Start menu is hidden in the lower left corner B．they have to use fingerprints instead of buttons C．the keyboard and mouse can’t be used any longer D．they don’t get accustomed to the new interface 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了 Windows 8 的优缺点。 12．解析：选 B。根据 plus 这个词的本义和下文中提到的 Speed，New passwords，Windows 8 experience 这三个优点以及“However，there are still some disadvantages”可知，plus sides 在此应指“优点”。故选 B 项。 13．解析：选 B。根据第三段的“Speed—this is the biggest advantage to mention”可知，高速是 Windows 8 最大的优势。 14．解析：选 D。根据第五段的“apart from computers，Windows 8 will be used on all devices，including smartphones，tablet PC’ s and so on”可知，Windows 8 除了电脑之外，还可以在所有的设备上使用，因此选择 D。 15．解析：选 D。根据文章最后一段的“Also，many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface(界面)introduced by Windows 8”可知，Windows 8 的使用者面对的一个问题就是他们不习惯新界面。故选 D 项。 第三节 顺藤摸瓜——明辨词义猜测 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 13 《考试说明》指出：正确理解文章中单词或短语的含义是理解文章的第一步，也是理解文章的基础。但英语单词的含义并非完全等同于词典 中所标注的汉语意思，其含义随不同的语境会有所不同。能根据上下文正确理解灵活变化的词义，才算是真正初步具备了一定的阅读理解能力。 此外，阅读文章时，常常会遇到一些过去未见过的词，但许多这类生词的词义可以通过上下文推断出来。这种不使用词典而通过阅读上下文来推 断生词含义的能力，是一个合格的读者所必须具备的能力，因此也是阅读理解中经常检测的一种能力。 [设题方式——知方向] 词义猜测题常见的命题方式有以下几种： 1．The word/phrase “...” in the passage means ． 2．The word/phrase “...” could be best replaced by ． 3．Which of the following is nearest/closest in meaning to ？ 4．The word/phrase “...” probably refers to ． 5．According to the passage，the word “...” is known as ． [解题技巧——明方法] 1．利用构词法猜词 英语中有大量的单词是通过合成或加前后缀构成的，运用构词法判断生词的意义是一种快速有效的解题方法。 2．利用语境及逻辑关系猜词 利用上下文语境和前后句之间的并列、因果、转折、对比、解释、定义和举例等关系来猜测词义。同时要特别留心某些词语，如 or，that is， in other words，including，although，but，even if，on the other hand，on the contrary，other than，rather than，more than，instead of 等。 3．利用同义解释猜词 同义解释形式多样，有的利用下定义，有的利用 or，that is(to say)，in other words，namely 等引出后面的解释，有的利用破折号、同 位语(从句)、定语从句或同义词、近义词等引出后面的解释。 4．利用常识及生活经验猜词 考生要运用非语言知识提示来提高分析能力，力图理解阅读中的生词，以明确把握作者的意图。 [干扰特点——晓陷阱] 1．对原相应表达方式的不正确改写 2．故意丢三落四，释意不完整 3．半对半错 4．曲解原意 考题中若要求我们猜测熟悉词语的意思，我们必须通过上下文得出其在特定场合下的特殊意思，那些常规含义的选项不会是要选择的正确答 案。 (2016·高考全国甲卷阅读理解 B)Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle，I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student，and said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.” A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations. Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect (感染) other students. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 14 Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare，“But I'm just not creative.” “Do you dream at night when you're asleep？” “Oh，sure.” “So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That's pretty creative.Who does that for you？” “Nobody.I do it.” “Really—at night，when you're asleep？” “Sure.” “Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？” [语篇解析] 本文是一篇记叙文。作为一名教师，作者用一种玩具培养孩子们的创造性和动手能力，其中一个孩子的创造性引起了作者的注意。 5．The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ． A．know more about the students B．make the lessons more exciting C．raise the students' interest in art D．teach the students about toy design 解析：选A。细节理解题。从题干的 in order to 判断，本题询问作者在课堂使用这种玩具的目的，第一段提到as a test ...to find out something about my students，由此可知作者的目的是更多地了解自己的学生，因此选 A 项。B 项“让课程更激动人心”，C 项“提高学生们对艺术的兴趣”， D 项“教学生玩具设计”，均不是作者的目的。 6．What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．He liked to help his teacher. B．He preferred to study alone. C．He was active in class. D．He was imaginative. 解析：选 D。推理判断题。第三段作者描述这个学生，说他特别有创造性(was an exceptionally creative mind at work)，因此选 D 项。 imaginative 有想象力的。作者在该段说他的创造力能够感染班上其他学生，这让作者意外地有了一个教学帮手，没有说他喜欢帮助老师(A 项错)， 文章没有提到他更喜欢独自一个人学习(B 项错)，也没有提到他在课堂上非常活跃(C 项错)。 7. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Mistake. B．Drawback. C．Difficulty. D．Burden. 解析：选 B。词义猜测题。前文提到作者很喜爱这个学生，说这个学生的创造性能够感染其他学生，下文说“冒着失去那些有不同的思考风 格的学生的风险”，根据语境前后的对比判断，downside 的含义应该是 drawback“不利条件，缺点”，而不是 mistake“错误”，difficulty“困 难”，burden“负担”。 8．Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams? A．To help them to see their creativity. B．To find out about their sleeping habits. C．To help them to improve their memory. D．To find out about their ways of thinking. 解析：选 A。推理判断题。根据题干信息可知本题考查的是文章后半部分对话的信息。作者鼓励学生讲述他们最有趣的梦，然后鼓励学生说， “白天在课堂上也试一试做梦，好吗？”由此推断，作者让学生讲述他们的梦，是为了帮助学生看到自己的创造性，因此选 A 项。B 项“为了弄 清楚他们的睡眠习惯”，C 项“为了帮助他们提高记忆力”，D 项“为了弄清楚他们的思维方式”，均不是作者的目的。 [语篇脉络] 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 15 答案：1.find out something about students 2.reaction/performance 3.waited 4.checked the instructions and made something 5.out of their imagination 6.an exceptionally creative mind 7.How did the author encourage students A Journey to Mecca: In the footsteps of Ibn Battuta Ibn Battuta is considered one of the world's greatest travelers.During the 14th century，he traveled about 75，000 miles in search of knowledge and for the love of travel.To share the learning and research so highly valued by Islamic(伊斯兰教的) culture， the ruler of Morocco，Abu Inan Faris， wanted Ibn Battuta's worldwide travels recorded and published when he returned home to Morocco after almost 30 years.Ibn Juzayy， a Moroccan Court Secretary，was appointed to write down Ibn Battuta's experiences.His travel journal，The Rihla，documents this extraordinary achievement.It gives us a firsthand account of life in the 14thcentury Muslim world.The original book，handwritten in Arabic，can be viewed today at the National Library in Paris. The early 14th century was a favorable age for a Muslim traveler.It was nearing the end of the Golden Age of Islam，one of the great explosions of scientific and cultural achievement in world history.Caravans(旅行队)and sea lanes created transportation and communication networks that stretched across continents，including Europe，Africa，Asia. Towns and cities were regularly visited by merchants，traders，doctors，artists，craftsmen，scholars and pilgrims(朝圣者)carrying goods and ideas.All of these promoted the exchange of goods and ideas on a scale not seen previously in world history.As an educated man with professional legal skills，Ibn Battuta enjoyed kindness，companionship and offers of employment throughout the Islamic world. Journey to Mecca describes the 5，000mile journey Ibn Battuta made in 1325 and 1326 from his hometown of Tangier，Morocco， to reach Mecca，in what is now the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia，to make the pilgrimage.During this dangerous and awesome 18month pilgrimage， he met many hindrances as he was attacked by robbers，troubled by thirst，and forced to retrace(折回)his route due to war along the Red Sea.Joining the legendary Damascus Caravan with thousands of pilgrims bound for Mecca，he completed the final leg of what would be his first of six journeys to Mecca. The goal of the film was to tell the remarkable story of Ibn Battuta and to promote a better understanding of Islam in the West， said the producers of Journey to Mecca. 1．Which of the following can be used to describe Ibn Battuta's time? A．The Golden Age of Islam just started. B．Economic development slowed down. C．International communication greatly improved. D．Misunderstanding arose around the Islamic world. 2．What does the underlined word “hindrances” in the third paragraph mean? A．Tricks. B．Friends. C．Opportunities. D．Barriers. 3．From the passage，we know that Ibn Battuta ． A．wrote The Rihla by himself B．first arrived in Mecca in 1326 C．was a successful businessman D．was a native of Saudi Arabia 1．解析：选 C。推理判断题。由第二段可知，在伊本·白图泰的时代，国际之间的交流水平得到了空前提高。 2．解析：选 D。词义猜测题。由 as he was...the Red Sea 可知，伊本·白图泰被强盗攻击，受到干渴的折磨，战争迫使他折返旅行路线。 可以推断 hindrances 应该是“障碍”的意思。 3．解析：选 B。细节理解题。由第三段开头 Journey to Mecca describes...to reach Mecca 可知，伊本·白图泰于 1325 年至 1326 年从摩 洛哥到达了麦加。由段末 he completed...to Mecca 可知，这是他第一次到达麦加。 B I'm a single mummy blogger.I had been unemployed since November 2011，and eventually started to cook for myself and my three yearold son on an extremely low budget last summer. I wrote on my blog back in July 2012，in a post titled Hunger Hurts，that poverty is the sinking and choking feeling when your twoyearold son finishes his one bowl of porridge and says，“Can I have some more please，Mummy？” With only ￡6 a week，I started to work out my meals.A carrot and bean soup，the carrot，cumin(土茴香籽) and bean hamburger， 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 16 and onion pasta sauce(意大利面酱)．I began to post the recipes on my blogs.Then the Sure Start Children's Centre referred me to my local food bank for help.As a result，I could write more recipes with 4 more pounds a week to buy more materials.The response was unbelievable.People struggling financially said how much it helped to see recipes made using basic ranges from supermarkets. There was also criticism.People called my costings dishonest，because “you can't buy half an onion”．I've explained that I'll use one half for lunch in a soup，and the other half for dinner.Then there's the ￡3.48 bottle of red wine I put in my dishes.In fact that bottle lasted well over a month.Apparently，that's still extravagant(奢侈的)． I've never sold it as an ideal life－simply how I dealt with mine.Something had to change，so I changed it，and I wrote about it. Life has taken unexpected turns.I have spoken in Parliament(议会) on food poverty，and been interviewed for an Oxfam report on food banks.Penguin has signed me to write a book.Readers keep asking if I will still live on such a tight budget.Surely yes because I will never forget the tears and happiness I have gone through. 4．What kind of person is the author? A．Positive and smart. B．Humorous and energetic. C．Practical but extravagant. D．Skillful but dishonest. 5．What makes the author's blog attractive to so many readers? A．Articles dealing with an ideal life. B．The way of feeding her son. C．Practical recipes posted on her blog. D．The terrible feeling of being poor. 6．What does the “food bank” in the third paragraph probably do? A．Sell food to local people. B．Post blogs of creative food recipes. C．Educate hungry children. D．Offer financial help to poor people. 7．We can infer that the author's book will probably focus on ． A．how to get rid of poverty B．how to be an honest blogger C．how to avoid being extravagant D．how to live on a tight budget 4．解析：选 A。推理判断题。通读全文可知作者虽贫困但对生活的态度是积极的；她能在经济拮据时想出一周只花 6 英镑的食谱说明她很精 明，故答案为 A 项。 5．解析：选 C。细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知答案为 C 项。 6．解析：选 D。词义猜测题。根据第三段的“As a result，I could write more recipes with 4 more pounds a week...”可知 food bank 是一家向穷人提供经济帮助的机构，故答案为 D 项。 7．解析：选 D。推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知作者要写的那本书主要内容是如何靠低预算生活，故答案为 D 项。 C Facebook(脸谱网) friends cannot replace the real thing，say psychologists(心理学家)． People are happier and laugh 50% more when they talk face to face with friends or via webcam(web camera)than when they use social networking sites，a study has found. Dr.Roberts ，a famous lecturer at the University of Chester， said such websites don't appear to help people make true friendships.Based on two questionnaires(调查表)，he found there was no link between Facebook use and people with larger groups of friends. Dr.Roberts，whose work will be presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Harrogate，said，“The bottom line conclusion is that our relationships are not dependent on the quantity of our communication.They depend on quality，and even Skype (一种网络即时语音沟通工具) is better at increasing the quality of our communication than time spent on Facebook.” Even talking on the phone or texting does not make people feel as good as sharing a smile，the research says.The studies suggest quality，not quantity，of communication is the most important for keeping friends for life. People find the most satisfying relationships come from a small number of close friends，with an outer “ring” of 10 significant others.With these people，it doesn't matter what type of social media you use for communication.But people who want to “contact 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 17 the world at large” using Facebook can be disappointed because they spread themselves too thinly，claim researchers. In a third study，Dr.Roberts asked people to communicate with friends face to face or via Skype and keep a 14day diary.This was compared with communicating via phone，text messages or social networking sites.People communicating face to face or on Skype were 50% more likely to laugh，and they rated themselves as significantly happier. 8．Dr.Roberts's finding that there was no connection between Facebook use and people with many friends was ． A．based on questionnaires B．based on conversations C．through instant messages D．through social media 9．What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A．Most people contact each other online. B．Keeping a friend for life is not easy. C．The quality of communication is important. D．Skype is better at understanding us than Facebook. 10．What does the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph probably suggest? A．They are too excited to express themselves. B．They limit their social circle to a small range. C．They spread their information at a low speed. D．They lack information to introduce themselves. 11．What is Dr.Roberts's attitude towards the use of Facebook? A．Positive. B．Casual. C．Responsible. D．Unsupportive. 【解题导语】 本文是一篇研究报告。随着科技的发展，脸谱网也走进了人们的生活，人们更多地使用网络媒体进行交友，但专家认为我们 的友谊取决于交流的质量而非数量。另一份调查研究也发现：面对面地或用网络即时语音沟通工具与朋友交谈的人会比用社交网站的人更加快乐， 且笑容也会比他们多出 50%。 8．解析：选 A。细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Based on two questionnaires(调查表)，he found there was no link between Facebook use and people with larger groups of friends.”可知，这一调查发现是建立在两份调查表的基础之上的。故选 A。 9．解析：选 C。段落大意题。根据第四段中的“...our relationships are not dependent on the quantity of our communication.They depend on quality...”以及“The studies suggest quality，not quantity，of communication is the most important for keeping friends for life.”可知，该段主要强调交流质量的重要性。故选 C。 10．解析：选 B。句意理解题。根据第五段画线部分之前的“But people who want to‘contact the world at large’using Facebook can be disappointed”可知，想通过脸谱网广交天下朋友的人，会感到失望。因为使用脸谱网的人不是扩大了交友范围而是受限于较小的社交圈内， 所以他们才会感到失望。故选 B。 11．解析：选 D。观点态度题。根据第四段中的“...our relationships are not dependent on the quantity of our communication.They depend on quality...”和第五段中的“But people who want to ...can be disappointed”可知，Dr.Roberts 对 Facebook 的态度是不支持的。 故选 D。 D What could be cuter than your puppy giving his doggy friend a kiss on the nose? Nothing，really.But is your dog actually planting a kiss on his friend? Yes，but that's only one of the reasons your dog may lick another dog's nose.Here are some other reasons why your dog may lick another dog's nose. During an introduction，a shy and lowerranking dog will lower his head，avoid direct eye contact and gently extend his tongue to lick the nose of a more confident and highranking dog.The first dog licks the nose of the second dog to simply make it know that he comes in peace. Dogs who are already friends will also trade kisses.Two strongly bonded dog pals will lick and clean each other.They give each other “dog kisses” showing friendship. Puppies also “kiss” their mothers，but it's not a gesture of love.When puppies stop suckling(吸吮) their mothers' tits for milk and start to eat semisolid(半固体)food instead，they lick their mothers' mouths and noses in the hope of getting the mother to regurgitate(反哺)some semidigested food. So how to help your bashful dog make friends with other dogs? You can carefully select confidentbutfriendly and goodtempered dogs to play with your shy dog，to help him develop his social skills.Also consider taking him to a special training class that focuses on socialization and positive training technique. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 18 Do not disturb them when your two dogs play “kiss” briefly with each other.Sit back and enjoy this display of friendship.Then call them over and have them do a command such as “sit” or “shake paws”．Offer them treats as a reward for being good to each other. 12．We know a shy and lowerranking dog licks the nose of a higherranking dog to ． A．ask the dog for help B．show he is friendly C．show his anger D．show his respect for him 13．What can we know about two dogs who are already friends?

The ship was the Endurance，a small，tight，Norwegianbuilt threemaster that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists，27 men in all，to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back. As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and wellresearched story The Endurance，adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey，completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger，caught the world's imagination，and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton，a onetime British merchantnavy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley，a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic，was hired to make the images，most of which have never before been published. [语篇解析] 本文是一篇记叙文。1914 年到 1916 年间，一群海员和科学家踏上了南极探险之路。结果他们在回来的路上发生海难，其中一个摄影师在临 死之前拍摄了大量的照片，并把照片封存在破损的木船的冰块箱里。通过这些照片我们可以了解到那次不太成功的探险经历。 13．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley? A．They were made last week. B．They showed undersea sceneries. C．They were found by a cameraman. D．They recorded a disastrous adventure. 解析：选 D。细节理解题。由题干中的 the photos taken by Hurley 定位到文章第二段开头。该段说这些照片即使是上个星期拍的也堪称佳 作，故 A 项错误；该段中还说照片是在一次海难之后拍的，故 D 项正确；文章没有说拍摄的是海底景观，故 B 项错误；拍摄者是摄影师，但没有 说是一名摄影师发现了这些照片，故 C 项错误。 14．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text? A．Frank Hurley. B．Ernest Shackleton. C．Robert Falcon Scott. D．Caroline Alexander. 解析：选 C。推理判断题。由题干中的“第一个到达南极”这条信息定位到第三段。被发现的照片所展示的这次旅行是为了获得比 Robert Falcon Scott 船长先前的探险更大的收获，该船长在 1912 年就到达了南极。由此推断 Robert Falcon Scott 是最先到达南极的人，故选 C 项。 15．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage? A．Artistic creation. B．Scientific research. C．Money making. D．Treasure hunting. 解析：选 C。细节理解题。题干的 Alexander 在最后一段出现，the 1914 voyage 指本文谈到的 Endurance 这艘船的探险，该段开头说，这个 作家在她的小说 The Endurance 中说，在那时，探险就已经是纯商业活动(a thoroughly commercial effort)了，因此 1914 年航行的目的是赚钱 (money making)，故选 C 项。A 项“艺术创作”，B 项“科学调研”，D 项“寻宝”，均未体现。 [语篇脉络] 答案：1.A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic 2.Introduction 3.to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done 4.commercial business A You may have heard that a young man named Abner Doubleday invented the game known as baseball in Cooperstown，New York，during the summer of 1839.Doubleday then went on to become a Civil War hero，while baseball became America's beloved national pastime.Not 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 21 only is that story untrue，it's not even in the ballpark (place for baseball)．Doubleday was still at West Point in 1839，and he never claimed to have anything to do with baseball. In 1907，a special commission (委员会) created by the sporting goods merchant and former major league player A．J.Spalding used weak evidence－namely the claims of one man，mining engineer Abner Graves—to come up with the Doubleday origin story.Cooperstown businessmen and major league officials would rely on the myth's lasting power in the 1930s，when they established the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in the village. As it turns out，the real history of baseball is a little more complicated than the Doubleday legend.References to games resembling (相似) baseball in the United States date back to the 18th century.Its most direct ancestors appear to be two English games: rounder (a children's game brought to New England by the earliest colonists) and cricket.By the time of the American Revolution，variations (演变) of such games were being played on schoolyards and college campuses across the country.They became even more popular in newly industrialized cities where men sought work in the mid19th century.In September 1845，a group of New York City men founded the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club.One of them would make a new set of rules that would form the basis for modern baseball. Cartwright's changes made the game fasterpaced and more challenging from older games like cricket.In 1846，the Knickerbockers: played the first official game of baseball against a team of cricket players，beginning a new，uniquely American tradition. 1．What can we know according to the first paragraph? A．Baseball was really invented by Abner Doubleday. B．Abner Doubleday fought against slaves in the Civil War. C．Doubleday stayed at West Point for some reason. D．Doubleday said he had much to do with baseball. 2．Why did the Doubleday origin story come up? A．Because a special commission was founded. B．Because Doubleday provided false evidence. C．Because Abner Craves told a Doubleday story. D．Because Abner Craves worked with Doubleday. 3．The real history of baseball is ． A．much simpler than the Doubleday legend B．that baseball comes from two English games C．that a children's game came from New England D．more interesting than rounder and cricket 4．It can be inferred from the passage that ． A．Doubleday is the most respected in the USA B．Doubleday must have been an army officer C．Doubleday in fact came from Britain D．Doubleday invented rounder and cricket 【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，属于社会类短文阅读。现代棒球运动的起源说法不一。据有关专家考证：棒球运动起源于英国的板球 (Cricket)和圆场球(Rounder)，美国人亚历山大·乔伊·卡特赖德(Alexander Joy Cartwright)为统一名称和打法，制定了有史以来第一套棒球 竞赛规则。 1．解析：选 C。推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Doubleday was still at West Point in 1839，and he never claimed to have anything to do with baseball.”可知，在 1839 年 Doubleday 在西点。故选 C。 2．解析：选 C。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，最早是采矿工程师提出了关于 Doubleday 的传说。故选 C。 3．解析：选 B。推理判断题。根据第三段可知，棒球的真正历史远远比 Doubleday 传说要复杂，棒球运动源于英国的板球和圆场球。故选 B。 4．解析：选 B。推理判断题。根据第一段末句可知，Doubleday 曾经在美国著名的西点军校呆过，那么他很可能是一名军人。故选 B。 B Fort Scott High School English teacher Emily Rountree has been working this semester to raise money for Charity Water，a nonprofit organization，which uses 100 percent of public donations to help fund water projects in places without access to clean drinking water.Her goal was to motivate her students to use their writing in class to make a real world difference.Twelve students got top grades on the project and their articles will be published in the Tribune and online.The money from their writing is of great help. “Did you know that there are many countries around the world that don't have access to safe drinking water?

But the significance for me wasn't which brand they used，it was that they served peanut butter dumplings.Commonly known as Hunan dumplings，this specialty exists neither in China，nor anywhere else in North America.Instead，Hunan dumplings are a unique Quebecois tradition，and a slowly dying one，found in the secondgeneration Chinese family restaurants. Peanut butter dumplings taste exactly how they sound，but also unlike anything else.It is a kind of dumpling that coats your mouth with a distinct storebrand quality，a little too sweet，but buttery，and luxuriously(十分舒适地) warm，perfectly suited to resist the bonechilling effects of the Montreal winter. 12．What can we infer about the restaurant? A．It still uses chopsticks. B．It is well decorated. C．The business hour is long. D．The business is not promising. 13．How did the author find the restaurant? A．By coincidence. B．By frequent visits. C．By searching online. D．By others' recommendation. 14．What does the author think of the Montreal winter? A．Freezing. B．Mild. C．Cool. D．Warm. 15．How does the author sound when telling the story? A．Humorous. B．Curious. C．Disappointed. D．Affectionate. 【解题导语】 本文为记叙文，记叙了作者探寻儿时美味之旅。作者忘不了儿时花生酱饺子的味道，特意来到 Papillon Bleu 饭店重温儿时 的记忆，而魁北克独有的花生酱饺子正走向灭亡。 12．解析：选 D。考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“At 7：45 on a Saturday night，at the height of tourist season，just one young white family sat in the dining room”以及第二段中的“they had switched peanut butter brands to cut costs”可知，饭店经营很不景 气。 13．解析：选 C。考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Papillon Bleu came up when I googled‘Best Peanut Butter Dumplings in Montreal’” 可知，作者是通过网上搜索获取这家饭店的信息的。 14．解析：选 A。考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“luxuriously(十分舒适地)warm，perfectly suited to resist the bonechilling effects of the Montreal winter”，关键词 bonechilling 虽然是生词，但是根据“luxuriously(十分舒适地)warm，perfectly suited to resist”可 知，温暖抵挡的自然是寒冷了，由此可推知 Montreal 的冬天特别寒冷。 15．解析：选 D。考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“it was that they served peanut butter dumplings”以及第四段中的“Peanut butter dumplings taste exactly how they sound，but also unlike anything else”等内容可知，作者对儿时的味道充满了依恋和怀旧之情。 易错点拨：C 项的干扰性很大，虽然根据第三段中的“a slowly dying one”可知，魁北克独有的花生酱饺子正走向灭亡，但是这传达出的 是作者对此的伤感之情，并不能表明作者在叙述自己的经历时很失望。 第五节 高瞻远瞩——锁定主旨大意 《考试说明》指出：任何一篇文章都会有一个主旨要义。有时从文章的第一个段落，甚至第一个句子即可得出文章的主旨要义，通过这一段 或这个句子读者会知道文章描述的是谁或什么(即文章的主题)，亦会了解作者希望读者了解主题方面的哪些内容。有时，文章的主旨要义则需从 文章的字里行间进行推断。这类试题主要考查考生略读文章、领会大意的能力，它对考生的归纳、概括能力有一定的要求。 [设题方式——知方向] 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 25 主旨大意题常见的命题方式有以下几种： 1．The best title/headline for this passage is ． 2．The passage(or the first paragraph)is mainly about ． 3．What is the main idea/topic/purpose/subject of the passage? 4．Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage? 5．The passage chiefly discusses/deals with ． 6．Which of the following best states the theme of the passage? 7．The passage mainly tells us that ． 8．The main idea of the first/second/third...paragraph probably is ． 9．What’s the first/second/third...paragraph concerned with? 10．What does the writer try to express in Paragraph...?

Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people，just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore，when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops，what may be implied(暗 示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures，silence is a call for reflection. Other cultures may use silence in other ways，particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.For example，Russian，French，and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion.However，Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.In still another use，persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect，particularly to an elder or a person in authority. Nurses and other caregivers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 26 can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures. [语篇解析] 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化里的具体含义。沉默有时表示思考，有时表示无话可说……不同的文化，人们对沉默有不同 的理解。沉默也可以用在医院中，它还有治疗功效呢。 32．What does the author say about silence in conversations? A．It implies anger. B．It promotes friendship. C．It is culturespecific. D．It is contentbased. 解析：选 C。推理判断题。根据第一段的第一句 The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.以及下文给出的不同文化里沉默 代表不同含义的例子可知，选项 C 与之相符合，沉默有特定的文化内涵。选项 A、B、D 在文中都没有提到。 33．Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought? A．The Chinese. B．The French. C．The Mexicans. D．The Russians. 解析：选 A。细节理解题。根据第二段中的 Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating ...just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.以及．..silence is a call for reflection.可知，许多美国本土人、一些传统的中国人 以及泰国人都把沉默看作是仔细思考的象征，故选 A 项，a call for reflection 与 a call for careful thought 是同义表达，大家做题时要学 会锁定关键词。 根据第三段中的．..Russian，French，and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement ...可知，法国人和俄罗斯人用沉默表 示同意，故 B、D 两项错误；由第三段中的．..Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority ...可知， 墨西哥人在权威人士给出指示，但心里不赞同时，他们会选择保持沉默，故排除 C 项。 34．What does the author advise nurses to do about silence? A．Let it continue as the patient pleases. B．Break it while treating patients. C．Evaluate its harm to patients. D．Make use of its healing effects. 解析：选 D。细节理解题。根据文中最后一段中的 A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.可知，作者建议护士们利用沉默的治愈效果来关爱病人，D 项 与此吻合，use 与选项中的 make use of 是同义表达。根据最后一段中的...a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. 可知，不要过早打破沉默，也不要让沉默没有必要地一直持续下去，A 项“只要病人喜欢，让沉默一直持续下去”和 B 项“治疗病人时，打 破沉默”的表述与此不符，故排除。文中没有提到沉默对病人有害处，故排除 C 项。 35．What may be the best title for the text? A．Sound and Silence B．What It Means to Be Silent C．Silence to Native Americans D．Speech Is Silver；Silence Is Gold 解析：选 B。标题归纳题。整篇文章都在说，沉默在不同的文化和领域具有不同的含义，这与 B 项(沉默的含义)的表述相符。A 项中的 sound 没有提到；C 项只是文章一个方面的内容；D 项“雄辩是银，沉默是金”强调了沉默的价值，与文章内容不符，故错误。 [语篇脉络] 答案：1.The meanings of silence varies among cultural groups 2.native Americans，some traditional Chinese，and Thai persons 3.in other ways 4.The fuctions of the possible meanings of silence A Using a computer or smartphone at night can cause us to pile on the pounds，new research has revealed. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 27 The study found a link between blue light exposure (blue light is produced by smartphones and computers) and increased hunger.It found that exposure to blue light increases hunger levels for several hours and even increases hunger levels after eating a meal.Blue light exposure has also already been shown to cause decreased sleepiness in the evening，increasing the risk of sleeplessness. The leading researcher，Ivy Cheung，from Northwestern University in Chicago，said，“A single threehour exposure to blueenriched light in the evening greatly affected hunger and metabolism (新陈代谢)．These results are important because they suggest that controlling environmental light exposure for humans may represent a novel approach of influencing food intake patterns and metabolism.” The study group consisted of 10 healthy adults with regular sleep and eating schedules.They completed a fourday trial under dim (昏暗的) light conditions，which involved exposure to less than 20 lux (勒克斯，照明单位) during 16 hours awake and less than 3 lux during eight hours of sleep.On the third day they were exposed to three hours of 260 lux，blueenriched light starting 10.5 hours after waking up，and the effects were compared with dim light exposure. Ivy Cheung said more research is needed to determine the functions involved in the relationship between light exposure，hunger and metabolism. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How blue light exposure affects hunger. B．Why blue light exposure influences sleepiness. C．What is the link between blue light exposure，hunger and sleepiness. D．Who has found the effects of blue light exposure on hunger and sleepiness. 2．The underlined word “novel” in the third paragraph probably means “ ”． A．unusual B．unforgettable C．temporary D．controversial 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Blue light exposure can make us lose weight at night. B．Blue light exposure has no effect on sleeplessness. C．The researchers drew their conclusion by comparison. D．Ivy Cheung has found the relationship between light exposure and hunger. 4．Where would you be most likely to find the passage? A．On a notice board. B．In a health magazine. C．On a business website. D．In a college newspaper. 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，属于科普类短文阅读。文章介绍了一个科学试验的结果，晚上用智能手机和电脑会让人长胖。因为智能 手机和电脑所产生的蓝色光会增加人的饥饿感和失眠的情况。 1．解析：选 C。段落大意题。研究发现蓝色光照射(智能手机和电脑所产生的蓝色光)会增加人的饥饿和失眠的情况。与 C 选项的意思一致。 故选 C。 2．解析：选 A。词义推测题。该词所在的句子的意思是：这些结果表明，人为地控制周围的光照可能代表食物摄入量模式和对代谢有影响的 一种新方法。unusual“不同寻常的”；unforgettable“难忘的”；temporary“暂时的”；controversial“有争议的”。 3．解析：选 C。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的试验内容和方法，尤其是最后的“...and the effects were compared with dim light exposure” 可知，研究者是通过对比的方法来得出结论的。 4．解析：选 B。推理判断题。本文与人的健康有关，最有可能在一本关于健康的杂志上找到这样的报道。on a notice board 通告板；on a business website 商务网站；in a college newspaper 一张大学的报纸。结合常识可知，选 B。 B Beijing has become the first city to host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games after beating Kazakhstan's Almaty to hold the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The annual report issued by researchers at the U．S.National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other experts is the latest to paint a dire picture of the impact of climate change in the Arctic.It found that fall air temperatures are at a record 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees C) above normal in the Arctic because of the major loss of sea ice in recent years that allows more solar heating of the ocean.That warming of the air and ocean impacts land and marine life and cuts the amount of winter sea ice that lasts into the following summer，according to the report. In addition，wild reindeer and caribou herds appear to be declining in numbers，according to the report.The report also noted melting of surface ice in Greenland.“Changes in the Arctic show a domino effect(多米诺效应) from multiple causes more clearly than in other regions，” James Overland，an oceanographer at NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Seattle one of the authors of the report，said in a statement.“It's a sensitive system and often reflects changes in relatively fast and dramatic ways.” Researchers at the National Snow and Ice Data Center，part of the University of Colorado，reported last month that Arctic sea ice melted to its secondlowest level this summer.The 2008 season，those researchers said，strongly reinforces a 30year downward trend in Arctic ice extent－34 percent below the longterm average from 1979 to 2000，but 9 percent above the record low set in 2007.Last year was the warmest on record in the Arctic，continuing a regionwide warming trend dating to the mid1960s.Most experts 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 29 blame climate change on human activities spewing socalled greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. 9．According to the passage the following can be affected by the warming of the air and ocean EXCEPT ． A．land life B．marine life C．the amount of winter sea ice D．rising of the world's population 10．We can infer from the third paragraph that ． A．climate changes in the Arctic are the worst B．few wild animals suffer the effect of changes C．Arctic sea ice melted to its secondlowest level D．effects of climate changes are reflected quickly 11．The passage mainly talks about ． A．Arctic air temperatures B．melting of sea ice C．global climate warming D．the domino effect 9．解析：选 D。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知。 10．解析：选 D。推理判断题。根据第三段可知 D 项正确。 11．解析：选 A。主旨大意题。文章第一段第一句便告诉我们主题：北冰洋的空气气温达到记录水平。 D Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person.Feeling down？Consider these things to remember when you're having a bad day.

However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today's students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities. For previous generations，college was a decisive break from parental control；guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades，however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media，have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home. To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility，college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually (在思维方面) and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning. Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community (群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community. Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined (规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged. It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents' desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world.Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth. Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and selfregulation, of the necessary tension between safety and selfdiscovery. [语篇解析] 本文是一篇议论文。大学生走出了家门，还没有进入社会，因此他们的大学时期应该是从受家庭庇护到拥有自主性和承担起成年人的职责的 一个过渡时期。但是随着手机等社交传媒的应用，大学生依旧受到家庭的管制和庇护。作者针对这一问题发表了自己的看法，探讨了校方应该如 何处理。 67．What's the author's attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students? A．Sympathetic. B．Disapproving. C．Supportive. D．Neutral. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 32 解析：选 B。推理判断题。第一段中作者提到大学期间应该让学生培养自主性，让他们向成年人的身份转变，但是如今的大学生没有肩负起 成年人的职责；第二段中作者分析了原因，指出这是因为家长在孩子读大学之后还通过手机、邮件等方式帮助上大学的子女，结果，大学就成了 与家庭一样的环境。由此可推知，作者对于这种现象是不赞成的，故选 B 项。 68．The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means ． A．change B．choice C．text D．extension 解析：选 A。词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子的前后语境可知，此处指把大学阶段作为从受到家庭的庇护到拥有自主性和担负起成年人职 责的“转变”，故选 A 项 change。 69．According to the author，what role should college play?

As my wife was studying in Florida，we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage(抵押贷款)on our ruined house.We looked at many places，but none was satisfactory.We’d begun to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while，when I got a very curious email from a James Kennedy in California.He’ d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for State， an online magazine and wanted to give us(“no conditions attached”)a new house across the lake from New Orleans.It sounded too good to be true，but I replied，thanking him for his exceptional generosity，that we had no plans to go back.Then a poet of the University of Florida offered to let his house to us while he went to England on his oneyearpaid leave.The rent was rather reasonable.I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy，and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 33 Throughout this painful experience，the kindness of strangers backs my faith in humanity.It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people really want to be kind when given a chance. 1．Which one shows the right time order? ①James Kennedy sent us a check. ②A poet offered his house to us. ③Our home was reduced to ruins. ④The garage employee charged us nothing. ⑤James Kennedy offered a new house from New Orleans.

If the decision is up to Carol Dweck，the answer would likely be no.She’s a psychology professor at Stanford University， California.She says a player doesn’t have to be the best to get a trophy.But those who receive an award should have to work for it.She suggests trophies go to the most improved player，or the one who contributed most to the team spirit，as well as to those who play the best. “The trophy has to stand for something，”Dweck told TFK.“If we give a trophy to everyone，then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons，such as improving in a sport，teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best. Others say that there’s no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport，regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved. “I think we should encourage kids’participation in sports，” says Kenneth Barish，a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College，in New York City.“A trophy is one way to encourage kids’efforts.” Barish argues that when we single out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy，we are teaching kids the wrong lesson.We are sending the message that winning is everything.“Winning is only part of the equation(等式)，” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.” “There will be plenty of opportunity for kids to learn about competition as they get older，”says Barish.They’ll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl.For now，he thinks there’s nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners.That means trophies for everyone. 5．According to Carol Dweck，which player should receive a trophy? A．Tony，the most attractive player of the soccer team. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 34 B．David，a soccer player who is both clever and funny. C．Peter，who is ready to help his partners to score goals. D．Jim，a soccer player who tries his best to win the game. 6．The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means “ ”． A．honour B．choose C．value D．stress 7．Which shows the correct structure of the text? 【解题导语】 如果孩子参加体育比赛，那么是不是每个人都该得到奖杯呢？文章就这个问题给出了两种不同的看法。 5．解析：选 C。根据第二段可知，斯坦福大学的心理学教授 Carol Dweck 认为，获奖的运动员未必是最好的运动员。她认为，进步最大的、 对团队精神贡献最多的和表现最佳的运动员都应获奖。故 C 项正确。 6．解析：选 B。根据第六段可知，Barish 认为，当我们挑选出最佳球员或进步最大的球员并授予他们奖杯的时候，我们给孩子们传递了一个 错误的信号：获胜就是一切。因此画线的短语“single out”意为“挑出”。 7．解析：选 B。本文的第一段为导语，导入讨论的话题。第二、三段陈述了斯坦福大学的心理学教授 Carol Dweck 的主要观点：反对人人获 奖。下文(第四段至第七段)陈述的是纽约市威尔康乃尔医学院的心理学教授 Kenneth Barish 的观点，即赞成人人获奖。因此 B 项清晰地展示了本 文的结构。 C According to a new US study，couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall. The research by Angelina Grigoryeva，from Princeton University，found that，while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage，men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members. Her analysis of the family networks of 26，000 old Americans concluded that gender (性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents. In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco，she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care. Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study，a study which has been tracking a crosssection of over 50s for the last decade，she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours. “Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister，while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.” “This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.” In the UK，the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities，a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade. But many are doing so at the risk of their health.The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a fulltime job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers. 8．According to the passage，what's the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly? A．Education. B．Gender. C．Career.

Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities. 12．The text mainly tells us ． A．all the students use digital tools B．the Internet is playing a key role C．teachers encourage using digital tools D．digital tools bring about benefits and problems 13．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?

[2]People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making.The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. [3]There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example，the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” [4] 38 You might represent each letter with a number，for example.Let's number the letters of the alphabet，in order，from 1 to 26.If we substitute a number for each letter，the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.” [5]A code uses symbols to replace words，phrases，or sentences.To read the message of a real code，you must have a code book. 39 For example，“bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message“Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me”． 40 However，it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long.So codes must be changed frequently. A．It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B．In any language，some letters are used more than others. C．Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D．As long as there have been codes，people have tried to break them. E．You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F．With a code book，you might write down words that would stand for other words. G．Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.
