题型四 主旨大意题 语篇出处:原创 语篇类型:记叙文 主题语境:学校生活 I was nine when I arrived at the Children's Home in Nashua‎, ‎New Hampshire, in 1965. I failed third grade that year, barely made it through a second time, and had merely passed through fourth grade by the time I reached Pauline Jambard's fifthgrade class at Charlotte‎ Avenue ‎Elementary School.‎ I believed I wasn't “smart” and popular like the other kids, and I hoped I could make it through fifth grade. Ms Jambard took an instant liking to me. Of all the subjects in school, reading was my favorite. She would tell me, “Terry, you keep reading. If you can understand what you're reading, you'll be smarter than most kids.” After I read all the books in our program, I started reading the classroom's set of Encyclopaedia Britannica. I couldn't find enough to read, and I started to really like school.‎ That December, the children's home threw a Christmas party for family and community members. My brother and I had no family to invite. I still remember looking up and seeing Ms Jambard walk through the front doors of the children's home and I realized that she was there on behalf of my parent. That made me feel it was the best Christmas of my life.‎ We have stayed in touch, and I call Pauline at least once a year. Because of the confidence she instilled (灌输) in me, I went on to have a successful career in engineering ‎      ‎ 题1:题干关键词为“the writer's former schooling”,根据文中细节“failed third grade”“barely made it through a second time”“had merely passed through fourth grade” “I wasn't ‘smart’ and popular like the other ‎ and law engagement.

Some curl up their leaves; others produce chemicals to make themselves taste bad if they sense animals drooling (垂涎) on them, chewing them up or laying eggs on them—all signals of an attack. New research now shows some flora can feel a plant-eating animal well before it launches an attack, letting a plant prepare a preemptive (抢先的) defense that even works against other pest species.‎ When ecologist John Orroek of the University of Wisconsin—Madison sprayed snail slime—a liquid the animals release as they slide along—into soil, nearby tomato plants appeared to notice. They increased their levels of an enzyme (生化酶), which is known to prevent planteating animals. “None of the plants were ever actually attacked.” Orroek says. “We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming, and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.”‎ Initially Orroek found this defense worked against snails; in the latest study, his team measured the slimy warning impact on another potential threat. The investigators found that hungrycaterpillars (毛虫), which usually eat tomato leaves greedily, had no appetite for them after the plants were exposed to snail slime and activated their chemical resistance. This nonspecific defense may be a strategy that benefits the plants by further improving their overall possibilities of survival, says Orroek, who reported the results with his colleagues in March in Oecologia.‎ The finding that a snail's approach can cause a plant response that affects a different animal made Richard Karban curious, a plant communications expert, who was not involved in the study. “It is significant that the plants are responding before being damaged and that these cues are having such farranging effects,” Karban says. The research was comprehensive, he adds, but he wondered how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slime that never actually touched them.‎ ‎“That's the milliondollar question,” Orroek says. He hopes future research will make out the mechanisms that enable plants to sense these relatively distant cues.‎ 篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。新的研究表明,植物能感知到动物即将发动的攻击。‎ ‎1.What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A.Watchful Plants B.Greedy Animals C.A Snail's Approach D.A Defense Attack 答案:A 标题判断题。由第一段第三句中的“New research now shows some flora can feel a plant-eating animal well before it launches an attack”可知,新的研究显示,植物能感知到动物即将发动的攻击。故A选项“警惕的植物”为最佳标题。‎ ‎2.John Orroek sprayed a liquid into soil to ________.‎ A.make nearby tomato plants grow better B.give tomato plants a warning C.keep planteating animals away D.inform planteating animals of danger 答案:B 细节理解题。由第二段中的“We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming”可知是为了警示它们攻击即将来临。‎ ‎3.Why is the example of “caterpillars” mentioned in Paragraph 3?‎ A.To introduce another animal.‎ B.To confirm the result of the study.‎ C.To appeal to people to protect animals.‎ D.To analyse different resistance chemicals.‎ 答案:B 推理判断题。由第三段第二句可知,饥饿的毛毛虫对接触过蜗牛黏液的叶子不再有食欲,所以判断出第三段提到毛毛虫的例子是为了确认研究结果。‎ ‎4.What does Richard Karban really want to know?‎ A.How tomato plants become aware of danger.‎ B.What the chemicals in the snail slime are.‎ C.Whether the research is of practical value.‎ D.What the finding of the research is.‎ 答案:A 推理判断题。由倒数第二段最后一句中的“but he wondered how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slime that never actually touched them”可知,但是他想知道番茄植物是如何感受到蜗牛粘液中的化学物质,而这些化学物质从未真正接触过它们。所以判断出Richard想知道番茄植物是如何感知危险的。‎ ‎ ‎ strategy n. 策略 defense n. 防卫;辩护 activate vt. 激活;使活动 ‎ ‎ 第四段第一句:The finding that a snail's approach can cause a plant response that affects a different animal made Richard Karban curious, a plant communications expert, who was not involved in the study.‎ 译文:蜗牛的接近会引起植物对不同动物的反应,这种发现使Richard ‎ Karban这位并没有参与研究的植物交流专家很好奇。‎ 分析:这是一个主从复合句。第一个that引导同位语从句,说明finding的内容。第二个that引导定语从句,修饰先行词response。who引导非限制性定语从句,补充说明先行词expert。‎ 专题强化训练(四)‎ ‎(1)‎ ‎(2019·山东模考)Michelle Kwan is a champion ice skater who has won five World Championships, nine US Championships and two Olympic medals, in addition to countless other skating competitions. While audiences have seen her glide effortlessly across the ice, long hours of practice and devotion contribute each jump and spin.‎ Kwan began ice skating when she was five years old, and her skill quickly became evident. At the age of eight, she skated several hours a day, every day of the week. Before school, after school and on weekends, she was at the ice rink. The cost of ice time and coaches quickly grew, but her parents were committed to her success. Her family sold their home and purchased a much smaller one to free up money to pay for her ice skating.‎ When Kwan was 13, she performed at her first US National Championships. After a disappointing performance, she swore to work even harder and improve. She did. The next year, she finished second. From there she went on to win a silver medal at the 1998 Olympics and the first of her World Championships. She followed up with a bronze medal at the 2002 Olympic Games.‎ Kwan is the most decorated figure skater in American history. She was the sole member to the US Figure Skating Hall of Fame and the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame classes of 2012, and in 2014, she was appointed to the Hall of Fame at the US National Competition.‎ Even after retiring from skating, Kwan has not given up her devotion to learning, service and hard work. She received her college degree in 2009 from the University of Denver and is pursuing graduate studies in international relations at Tufts‎ ‎University. Meanwhile, she has held several diplomatic and ambassador positions representing the United States globally. Ultimately, whether on the ice, in the classroom or representing her nation, Kwan presents one consistent quality—devotion.‎ 篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了世界冠军Kwan的滑冰经历以及她的执着精神。‎ ‎1.What do we know about Kwan according to the text?‎ A.She performed badly in her first national competition.‎ B.She has won five US Championships.‎ C.She failed to graduate from Tufts‎ ‎University.‎ D.She hasn't won the second place in Olympic Games.‎ 答案:A  细节理解题。由第三段第一句和第二句可知,Kwan 13岁开始第一次参加美国全国锦标赛,在一场令人失望的表现之后,她发誓要更加努力,因此她首次比赛成绩不好。‎ ‎2.Which of the following can best describe Kwan?‎ A.Warm-hearted. B.Energetic.‎ C.Easygoing. D.Devoted.‎ 答案: D 推理判断题。通读全文,并根据最后一段尾句中的“Kwan presents one consistent quality—devotion”可知,Kwan是一个专注的人。‎ ‎3.What may be the best title for the text?‎ A.The Way to Success B.A Great Skater C.How to Be a Good Player?‎ D.Why Is Devotion Important?‎ 答案:B 标题判断题。文章讲述的是世界滑冰冠军Kwan通过不懈努力而成功的经历。skater是关键词,明确地表达了文章的主旨。故选B。‎ ‎ ‎ be committed to 致力于 pursue vt. 追求 consistent adj. 始终如一的 ‎ ‎ 最后一段最后一句:Ultimately, whether on the ice, in the classroom or representing her nation, Kwan presents one consistent quality—devotion.‎ 译文:总而言之,无论是在滑冰时,在课堂上,还是代表她的国家(参赛时),Kwan都呈现出一种始终如一的品质——专注。‎ 分析:这是一个主从复合句。whether ... or ... “无论……还是……”,引导状语从句。‎ ‎(2)‎ ‎(2019·山东泰安模考)The noble tree house—all natural materials, solid construction,away from the troubles of the world. In a more dangerous time in human history, their position above the ground would protect the dweller (居民) against environmental difficulties and possible predators (掠夺者). As modern construction has improved, these woody residences have become less of a practical dwelling and more of a children's novelty. But now, these fun shelters are appealing to adults too and many are booking themselves in for a few nights among the treetops.‎ These tree house hotels can be found from Europe to Australia. Best of all, they come in a variety of interesting designs! From the traditional ‘four walls and a roof’‎ ‎ habitation, such as at TreeHouse Point,in Washington,North America, to the more artistic Nothofagus Hotel in Chilean Patagonia,whose twelvesided walls make it look like a beehive. If that doesn't appeal, how about a tree hut?‎ The Free Spirit Spheres resort on Vancouver Island in Canada allows guests to stay in one of three yellow spheres (球体), which hang from trees. The company was founded in 1998 by Tom Chudleigh, who hand built the huts from cedar wood and fiber glass. Not only are they as safe as houses,they're popular! Mr Chudleigh tells the BBC.‎ Digs (借宿的地方) which are original seem to be a big draw. In Sweden, at the Treehotel numbers have also risen. “Today we have seven rooms and nearly 5,000 guests,” Kent Lindvall explains. Each of the houses there was designed to make use of the light and surroundings.‎ And how about an office? Microsoft, hoping to give its employees thinking space, has commissioned (委托) a treebuilding structure from Pete Nelson,tree house book author and designer and builder of tree houses. “Studies show people can work better in nature. They are more productive,” says Mr Nelson.‎ 篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了过去人们居住的树屋反而成了现代人休闲放松的栖息处。‎ ‎1.What is the text mainly about?‎ A.The designs of the tree house hotels.‎ B.The function of the tree houses.‎ C.The trend for tree houses.‎ D.The future development of houses.‎ 答案:C 主旨大意题。文章介绍了过去人们居住的树屋反而受到现代人的青睐。‎ ‎2.Why have tree houses become fun shelters?‎ A.People find few safe houses to live in.‎ B.They are of novel shape and appealing color.‎ C.There are no places of amusement for children.‎ D.Their construction have gotten modernized.‎ 答案:D 细节理解题。由倒数第二段最后一句“Each of the houses there was designed to make use of the light and surroundings.”可知,树屋的设计充分利用光照和环境,符合现代人的需求。‎ ‎3.For what purpose has Microsoft built a tree house structure?‎ A.To help its employees work efficiently.‎ B.To provide its workers with break residences.‎ C.To offer its workers living convenience.‎ D.To give people space to make friends.‎ 答案:A 细节理解题。由文章最后一句可知,研究表明人在自然环境下工作更有效率。‎ ‎4.What can we infer from the text?‎ A.All tree house hotels have interesting designs.‎ B.Tree houses can make people safer nowadays.‎ C.Kent Lindvall have made hand-built tree houses.‎ D.Tree house hotels in Sweden seem to succeed.‎ 答案:D 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“In Sweden, at the Treehotel numbers have also risen.”可以推测出树屋在瑞士很成功。‎ ‎ ‎ residence n. 住宅;住处;居住 appeal to吸引;呼吁 productive adj. 有成效的;多产的;生产的 ‎ ‎ 第一段第三句:As modern construction has improved, these woody residences have become less of a practical dwelling and more of a children's novelty.‎ 译文:随着现代建筑水平的提高,这些木制住宅变得不那么实用,而更像是孩子们的新奇玩意儿。‎ 分析:这是一个主从复合句,as引导时间状语从句,意为“随着……”。‎ ‎(3)‎ ‎(2019·宜宾模考)A recent study has looked into what happens inside your brain while you read and listen to music. You know that thrill you get when listening to your favorite music? ‎ According to the study, it seems the same thing can happen while you are reading, but not with every kind of text. Professor Adam Zeman, a neurologist said, “The participants lay in an MRI scanner reading the texts, then we compared brain activity for five texts.” The texts ranged from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones.‎ As the researchers observed, participants found some texts more emotional than others. When reading these emotional texts, there was higher activity in brain areas associated with pleasure and reward—the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music.‎ Reading poetry is often considered a reflective activity, but did the study find any evidence of this? In fact, when the participants were reading poems, the team found there was more activity in a particular brain area called the Default Network. “These areas seem to be associated with things we do with our minds when we are resting, like ‎ thinking about what's happened to us recently, and that network seems to be more strongly associated with poetry than with essays.” explains Zeman.‎ The study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read. Zeman reflects that “the study did confirm what we thought, in particular our belief that the response to literature was going to be a bit like the response to music in terms of emotion.”‎ 篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了我们在读书时大脑的反应和听音乐时大脑的反应相似。‎ ‎1.What is the study about?‎ A.Reading activates emotions like listening to music.‎ B.Different types of texts arouse different reflections.‎ C.All the texts can cause readers the same feelings.‎ D.Readers get the same thrill as listening to music.‎ 答案:A 细节理解题。通读全文并根据最后一段尾句中的“the response to literature was going to be a bit like the response to music in terms of emotion”可知,阅读像听音乐一样能激发情感。故选A。‎ ‎2.How did the scientist make the discovery?‎ A.They compared different kinds of texts.‎ B.They made a list of some typical examples.‎ C.They compared listening to music with reading.‎ D.They made experiments by involving participants.‎ 答案:D 细节理解题。由第二段第二句和第三段第一句中提到的“participants”可知,他们通过选用一些参与者来进行实验。‎ ‎3.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?‎ A.Reading poems aroused participants' stronger emotions.‎ B.The Default Network is connected with readers' minds.‎ C.Listening to music can make participants get strong thrill.‎ D.Reading essays can cause participants to have the same reaction.‎ 答案:A 段落大意题。由第四段中的“a particular brain area called the Default Network”和“that network seems to be more strongly associated with poetry”可知,读诗能激发参与者更强烈的情感。‎ ‎4.What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A.Have fun in reading B.Reading, music and the brain C.Different texts activate reflection D.Reading, similar to listening to music 答案:‎ B 标题判断题。文章主要对比了我们在读书和听音乐时大脑的反应。B项涵盖了所有的要素,故最适合作标题。‎ ‎ ‎ participant n. 参与者 emotional adj. 表现强烈情感的;令人动情的 reflective adj. 沉思的;反射的 be associated with 与……有关 ‎ ‎ 第三段第二句:When reading these emotional texts, there was higher activity in brain areas associated with pleasure and reward—the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music.‎ 译文:当阅读这些动人的文字时,大脑中与快乐和奖励相关的区域的活动更多——就是与我们听音乐时的兴奋感相关的同样的区域。‎ 分析:这是一个主从复合句,when reading ...是状语从句的省略形式。we get是省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句,修饰先行词thrill。第二个when也引导时间状语从句。‎ ‎(4)‎ ‎(原创题)The Chinese highspeed rails have a quality all on itsown, because it's so massive. There are more than twice as many highspeed trains in China as the rest of the world combined.‎ Firstly, China's technology on building the railway is leading the rest of the world and there is no sign that any other country could surpass China's position in the near future. Secondly, China's trains are based on Japanese, German and French models. At last, the scale of Chinese highspeed train is unthinkable to other countries which has highspeed train network. I had my first opportunity to ride the highspeed trains last week when I had a business meeting in Zhengzhou. As someone who grew up with a disdain for public transportation, I was dreading the experience. I pushed hard to fly, but was told that it would be much better if I took the train. I had traveled on an Amtrak train before in the US, and hated how slow it was and how many stops there were. Chinese highspeed trains are on a different level.‎ First, when I say they are highspeed, I mean they are highspeed. The trains are clean and the seats are huge. There are ample power outlets and you can't even feel how fast the train is moving. If there were no windows, I wouldn't be able to tell when we were stopped or when we were traveling at 300 km/h—it is that smooth. The terminal in Zhengzhou looked like you could fit a million people in it. It had shops and a food court and the trains would silently pull in and out of the station perfectly on schedule.‎ I'm traveling again this week by train and I'm excited. The highspeed trains are incredible.‎ 篇章导读:‎ 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了中国高铁的发展现状和先进性。‎ ‎1.Which of the following is the characteristic of China highspeed rails?‎ A.China has the most highspeed trains in the world.‎ B.No other country will surpass China in building the highspeed railway.‎ C.China makes highspeed trains all by itself.‎ D.China ranks first in the highspeed rails development from the very beginning.‎ 答案:A 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“There are more than twice as many highspeed trains in China as the rest of the world combined.”可知,中国高铁的数量是世界其他地区高铁数量总和的两倍多,故选A。‎ ‎2.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?‎ A.The author likes to take public transportation.‎ B.The author decided to take the trainat first.‎ C.The author expected his first train experience in China.‎ D.America falls behind China in railway development.‎ 答案:D 推理判断题。根据第二段尤其是最后两句“I had traveled on an Amtrak train before in the US, and hated how slow it was and how many stops there were. Chinese highspeed trains are on a different level.”可推知,美国的铁路发展不及中国,故选D。‎ ‎3.What can we not learn about the author's first rail trip in China?‎ A.The train run very fast and smoothly.‎ B.It is convenient to get the cellphone charged on the train.‎ C.Zhengzhou station is very huge.‎ D.Zhengzhou station is an important terminal.‎ 答案:D 细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知高铁时速很快,运行平稳;高铁上有很多的插座,所以充电很方便;郑州站很大,看上去能容纳100万人;但是没有提及郑州站是重要的交通枢纽,故选D。‎ ‎4.What does the article mainly talk about?‎ A.The author's first train experience in China.‎ B.The advancement of China's highspeed trains.‎ C.The highspeed railway should be greatly developed in the world.‎ D.The importance of public transportation.‎ 答案:B 主旨大意题。文章一开始就提到了中国高铁的先进发展,然后具体通过自己在中国第一次乘高铁的经历进一步证明中国高铁的先进之处,故选B。‎ ‎ ‎ surpass vt. 超过;胜过 disdain n. 鄙视,轻视,藐视 dread vt. 畏惧,惧怕;担心 ample adj. 足够的;丰裕的 power outlet 电源输出口,插座 ‎ ‎ 第二段倒数第二句:I had traveled on an Amtrak train before in the US, and hated how slow it was and how many stops there were.‎ 译文:我以前在美国坐过美国国铁,不喜欢它的速度慢,而且有那么多站。‎ 分析:这是一个并列复合句,and连接两个分句。第二个分句中hated后跟两个并列的宾语从句how slow it was和how many stops there were。‎
