• A
• (2019·全国卷Ⅰ,D)
• During the rosy years of elementary school(小学),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 friendly 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 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 there's the kind of popularity that appears in
adolescence:status born of power and even
dishonorable behavior.
• Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed,
Dr.Prinstein's 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(从事) in dangerous and
risky behavior.”
• In one study,Dr.Prinstein examined the two types of
popularity in 235 adolescents,scoring the least liked,
the most liked and the highest in status based on student
surveys(调查研究).“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 that 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 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 gain an advantage,” he said.
• 文章大意:主题:人与社会(人际沟通);话题:青少年心
理健康。本文是一篇议论文。文章从社会心理学视角讨论
青少年小学与中学阶段的成长经历,论述了个体受欢迎程
度这一青少年心理健康话题。 该语篇视角独特,积极倡导
和谐的人际关系和人文情怀。
• 1.What sort of girl was the author in her early years of
elementary school?_____
• A.Unkind. B.Lonely.
• C.Generous. D.Cool.
• 解析:推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词early years of
elementary school可定位到第一段第一句“During the
rosy years of elementary school,I enjoyed sharing my
dolls and jokes...”,根据句意和sharing一词可推知,作者
上小学的时候是一个慷慨大方的人,故选C项。注意不要
受本段后几句话尤其是最后一句话的影响而错选A项,因
为那是作者青少年时期的情况。
C
• 2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
_____
• A.The classification of the popular.
• B.The characteristics of adolescents.
• C.The importance of interpersonal skills.
• D.The causes of dishonorable behavior.
• 解析:段落大意题。根据第二段内容以及第二句的句式特
点(句中有冒号),可暂时断定第二句是本段的主旨句。而
第三句和第四句分别用The likables'...和Then there's the
kind of popularity that appears in adolescence...引出后文
内容,恰恰就是介绍了受欢迎的两类人:讨人喜欢型和追
求地位型。同时我们发现本段第二句中的关键词
sort...into...(把……分成……)与A项中的classification相呼
应,所以A项可以概括本段大意。
A
• 3.What did Dr.Prinstein's study find about the most
liked kids?_____
• A.They appeared to be aggressive.
• B.They tended to be more adaptable.
• C.They enjoyed the highest status.
• D.They performed well academically.
• 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句中的It clearly
showed that while likability can lead to healthy
adjustment可知,Dr.Prinstein的研究发现,最讨人喜欢的
孩子往往适应性强。B项中的adaptable与第四段中的
adjustment相呼应。
B
• 4.What is the best title for the text?_____
• A.Be Nice—You Won't Finish Last
• B.The Higher the Status,the Better
• C.Be the Best—You Can Make It
• D.More Self-Control,Less Aggressiveness
• 解析:标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了研究者发现讨人喜欢
与积极的人生结果有关,因此A项作为标题最合适。注意
A项中的be nice与likability,popularity,kindness等词相
呼应。be Nice—You Won't Finish Last.从意义上类似于汉
语的“与人为善,于己为善”。这里的finish本义是“获得
(名次);排名”。

• California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s,
according to a study to be published Tuesday and
climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).
• The number of trees larger than two feet across has
declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square
miles of California forests,the new study finds.No area
was spared or unaffected,from the foggy northern coast
to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels
above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country,the
number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent;
in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75
percent.
• Many factors contributed to the decline,said Patrick
McIntyre,an ecologist who was the lead author of the
study.Woodcutters targeted big trees.Housing
development pushed into the woods.Aggressive wildfire
control has left California forests crowded with small
trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).
• But in comparing a study of California forests done in the
1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and
2010,McIntyre and his colleagues documented a
widespread death of big trees that was evident even in
wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
• The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees
had suffered the greatest water shortage.The
researchers figured out water stress with a computer
model that calculated how much water trees were getting
in comparison with how much they needed,taking into
account such things as rainfall,air temperature,
dampness of soil,and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).
• Since the 1930s,McIntyre said,the biggest factors
driving up water stress in the state have been rising
temperatures,which cause trees to lose more water to
the air,and earlier snowmelt,which reduces the water
supply available to trees during the dry season.
• 文章大意:主题:人与自然(环境保护);话题:气候变化
与大树变少。本文是一篇调查报告。调查表明加利福尼亚
州的大树变少了,而气候变化是其中的一个主要因素。
• 5.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
_____
• A.The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
• B.The increasing variety of California big trees.
• C.The distribution of big trees in California forests.
• D.The influence of farming on big trees in California.
• 解析:主旨大意题。第二段中通过列举一系列数字表明加
利福尼亚州的大树减少的严重性,故A项正确。
A
• 6.Which of the following is well-intentioned but
may be bad for big trees?_____
• A.Ecological studies of forests. B.Banning
woodcutting.
• C.Limiting housing development. D.Fire control
measures.
• 解析:推理判断题。文章第三段提到了造成加利福尼亚州
的大树减少的三个因素:woodcutters,housing
development与aggressive wildfire control。前两个因素直
接与大树的减少有关,如果能控制住,大树就不会减少;
而第三个因素——控制野火的措施使得加利福尼亚州的森林
里满是跟大树争夺资源的小树,初衷是为了控制野火,这
是好的,实则对大树不利,故D项正确(好心办坏事)。
D
• 7.What is a major cause of the water shortage
according to McIntyre?_____
• A.Inadequate snowmelt.
• B.A longer dry season.
• C.A warmer climate.
• D.Dampness of the air.
• 解析:细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“...the biggest
factors driving up water stress in the state have been
rising temperatures...”可知,水不足的主要原因就是气温
升高(rising temperatures),即更加温暖的气候,故C项正
确。
C
• 8.What can be a suitable title for the text?_____
• A.California's Forests:Where Have All the Big Trees
Gone?
• B.Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California
Soon
• C.Why Are the Big Trees Important to California
Forests?
• D.Patrick McIntyre:Grow More Big Trees in California
• 解析:标题归纳题。本文是一篇调查报告,第一段就点出
主题:California has lost half its big trees since the
1930s。后面具体分析了加利福尼亚州大树的现状、造成
大树减少的原因等,A项作为标题最合适。

所给选项的关键词语虽然在文章中谈到了,但经
过仔细阅读分析之后,发现选项的内容与文章的
内容毫无联系。
研典题、技法例析
• 用浏览法(skimming),即快速阅读文首、文尾,或每段的
首句和尾句等,搜索主题线索和主题信息的方法可以快速
找到主题句。以下是找主题句的四个小窍门:
• 1.段落中出现表示转折的词语(如however,but,in fact
,actually等)时,该句很可能是主题句。
• 2.首段出现疑问句时,对该问句的回答很可能就是文章
主旨。
• 3.作者有意识地重复的观点,通常是主旨;反复出现的
词语,一般为体现文章主旨的关键词。
• 4.表示总结或结论的句子常包含therefore,thus,in
short,conclude,conclusion等词,通常是主旨。
• (2018·全国卷Ⅰ,C)
• Languages have been coming and going for thousands
of years,but in recent times there has been less coming
and a lot more going.When the world was still populated
by hunter-gatherers,small,tightly knit (联系) groups
developed their own patterns of speech independent of
each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000
years ago,when the world had just five to ten million
people,they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between
them.
典 例
• Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling
down to become farmers,and their languages too
became more settled and fewer in number.In recent
centuries,trade,industrialisation,the development of
the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory
education,especially globalisation and better
communications in the past few decades,all have
caused many languages to disappear,and dominant
languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are
increasingly taking over.
• At present,the world has about 6,800 languages.The
distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The
general rule is that mild zones have relatively few
languages,often spoken by many people,while hot,
wet zones have lots,often spoken by small numbers.
•Europe has only around 200 languages;the Americas
about 1,000;Africa 2,400;and Asia and the Pacific
perhaps 3,200,of which Papua New Guinea alone
accounts for well over 800.The median number (中位数)
of speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the
world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
• Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages
are close to extinction (消亡),with only a few elderly
speakers left.Pick,at random,Busuu in Cameroon
(eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico (150)
,Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or
Wadjigu in Australia (one,with a question-mark):
none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
• ◆What is the main idea of the text?
• A.New languages will be created.
• B.People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
• C.Human development results in fewer languages.
• D.Geography determines language evolution.
• [解题思路]
• 这是一篇说明文,本题考查全文的主旨大意。通读全文可
以发现,首段的第一句中but后的内容既是该并列句的重
点,也是整个段落的主旨所在。其后两段以时间为序,以
Soon afterwards...In recent centuries...in the past few
decades...At present...几个时间点为线索讲述了随着人类
活动变化语言的演变和减少的现象。最后一段总结上文,
指出现在有超过400种语言即将消亡,语言种类将变得更
少。综合全文可知,文章主要讲述随着人类社会的发展,
语言的种类越来越少。本文并未提及新的语言将会被创造,
可排除A项;也未提及人们的生活方式反映在语言上,可
排除B项;本文并未说明地理环境决定语言的进化与发展,
可排除D项。故选_C__。
• (二)巧用3大方法确定文章标题
• 1.正面肯定法:在理解文章主旨的基础上,揣摩哪个选
项能准确概括主旨;
• 2.反面否定法:撇开原文,拿各个备选项去设想用它们
写出来的“文章”将是什么内容,然后和文章对照,一一排
除不符选项;
• 3.研读备选项本身:研读备选项里面的中心词、修饰词
的变化、结构、概括性等。

• (2019·全国卷Ⅲ,B)
• For Western designers,China and its rich culture have
long been an inspiration for Western creative.
• “It's no secret that China has always been a source
(来源) of inspiration for designers,”says Amanda Hill,
chief creative officer at A+E Networks,a global media
company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚)
shows.
典 例
• Earlier this year,the China Through A Looking Glass
exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-
inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of
art,with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese
aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has
fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries.The
exhibition had record attendance,showing that there is
huge interest in Chinese influences.
• “China is impossible to overlook,”says Hill.“Chinese
models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns
that sell dreams to women all over the world,which
means Chinese women are not just consumers of
fashion—they are central to its movement.”
•Of course,not only are today's top Western designers
being influenced by China—some of the best designers of
contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese.“Vera
Wang,Alexander Wang,Jason Wu are taking on
Galliano,Albaz,Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands
down in design and sales,”adds Hill.
• For Hill,it is impossible not to talk about China as the
leading player when discussing fashion.“The most
famous designers are Chinese,so are the models,and
so are the consumers,”she says.“China is no longer
just another market;in many senses it has become the
market.If you talk about fashion today,you are talking
about China—its influences,its direction,its
breathtaking clothes,and how young designers and
models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
• ◆What can be a suitable title for the text?
• A.Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
• B.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
• C.Differences Between Eastern and Western
Aesthetics
• D.Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion

• (2019·江苏卷,B片段)
• In the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of
Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen became
puzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled
anyone before:he couldn't find the park's volcano.It had
been known for a long time that Yellowstone was
volcanic in nature—that's what accounted for all its hot
springs and other steamy features.But Christiansen
couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
典 例
• Most of us,when we talk about volcanoes,think of the
classic cone(圆锥体)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro,
which are created when erupting magma(岩浆)piles
up.These can form remarkably quickly.In 1943,a
Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from
a small part of his land.In one week he was the confused
owner of a cone five hundred feet high.Within two years
it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and
was more than half a mile across.Altogether there are
some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth,all but
a few hundred of them extinct.There is,however,a
second less known type of volcano that doesn't involve
mountain building.These are volcanoes so explosive that
they burst open in a single big crack,leaving behind a
vast hole,the caldera.Yellowstone obviously was of this
second type,but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera
anywhere.
• ◆What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
• A.The shapes of volcanoes. B.The impacts of
volcanoes.
• C.The activities of volcanoes. D.The heights of
volcanoes.
• [解题思路]
• 根据第二段内容尤其是其中的“Most of us,when we talk
about volcanoes,think of the classic cone(圆锥体)
shapes of Fuji or Kilimanjaro”和“a second less known
type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building...a

程,一种是形成圆锥体形状的火山,富士山和乞力马扎罗
山就是其典型代表;另外一种是通过爆裂岩浆而形成巨大
裂口的火山,而黄石国家公园恰恰就是这一种,所以本段
主要讲述了火山的形态,故选_A__项。
