天津市高考英语二模试卷分类汇编阅读理解(附答案)
一、高中英语阅读理解
1.阅读理解
Imagine someone who has spent the majority of their life sitting with a sign on the side of the road and that very person giving someone their last 20 dollars. That's exactly what Marine Corps veteran (退伍军人) Johnny Bobbitt, 34, did in October in Philadelphia.
Bobbitt served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a paramedic (医务辅助人员) in Vance County, N. C. before he became homeless. Nobody knew how he got to where he was because he was discreet about that.
One night in October, Bobbitt was sitting roadside with a sign in Philadelphia as usual, when Kate McClure of Florence Township, N. J. was driving home down Interstate 95 and ran out of gas. Scared and nervous, she got out of the car to head to the nearest gas station. As McClure was heading to the nearest gas station, she ran into Bobbitt and he told her to get back in the vehicle and lock the door. Minutes later, he appeared with a red gas can. He'd used his last $20 to buy her gas.
After that unexpected meeting, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, who both live in New Jersey, visited Bobbitt several times to deliver gift cards, cash, snacks and toiletries. They then decided to create a fund raising page so he wouldn't have to spend the holidays sleeping on the street.
McClure started the GoFundMe page on November 10. With the page, the couple hoped to raise $10,000, enough money for his rent, a reliable vehicle and up to six months' expenses. Bobbitt's story ran in a local paper. By November 15,more than 10,000 local people had made donations through the GoFundMe page and more than $300,000 had been raised.
On Thanksgiving, Bobbitt was resting in a hotel, his feet up on the bed, drawing up a grand plan for his new life, thanks to several thousand dollars raised to repay him for a good deed.
(1)What does the underlined word "discreet" in paragraph 2 most probably mean?

2.阅读理解
Most of us have looked up at the stars that fill the night sky and wondered whether we're alone in the universe. Indeed, the question of whether there's life out there has been something humankind's been asking itself for countless years. But thanks to China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), the answer to this question may come a lot sooner than we expected.
The telescope has a huge round reflector, which measures 500 meters across and has a perimeter(周长)of 1.6 kilometers. Because of its great size, it would have been both difficult and inefficient to get FAST to move like a regular telescope. Instead, FAST's designers came up with a great solution: its surface is made up of 4450 panels which can be individually adjusted. This clever design feature allows scientists to detect radio signals from any angle with a great degree of accuracy. "Panels can change their positions through connected wires and parallel (关联的) robots. We can control their position with an accuracy of 1mm," Zheng Yuanpeng, chief engineer of the telescope's panel project, told Xinhua News Agency.
FAST's engineers also had the task of finding a suitable location. As any interference would affect its ability to detect distant radio waves, it needed to be built in a remote area. Luckily, the perfect spot was found in the beautiful mountains of Guizhou Province. "There are three hills about 500 meters away from one another, creating a valley that is perfect to support the telescope," Sun Caihong, chief engineer of FAST's construction, told Xinhua.
And although it wasn't yet fully operated, FAST had already made great discoveries by October 2017. Since 1967, only around 2000 pulsars (脉冲星) have been discovered, yet FAST had detected six more by October 2017. Once FAST is fully up and running, we may finally have the answer to one of the biggest questions in history.
(1)What is the purpose of mentioning the question in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the new giant telescope.
B. To explain why there is life in universe.
C. To remind readers to think about the life in space.
D. To emphasize the question that should be answered.
(2)What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. The telescope is made up of many panels.
B. The area of FAST is about 800 square kilometers.
C. The engineer can handle FAST's position accurately.
D. The individual panel helps scientists catch radio signals.
(3)Why was FAST built in Guizhou?
A. Because Guizhou is a remote province.
B. Because Guizhou has an ideal valley.
C. Because Guizhou has beautiful mountains.
D. Because Guizhou has the ability to build it.(4)What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. FAST's timeline.
B. FAST's future.
C. FAST's operation.
D. FAST's discoveries.【答案】(1)A
(2)D
(3)B
(4)D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了中国500米口径球面射电望远镜,它的设计原理、选址以及发展前景等多方面的信息。
(1)考查推理判断。
第一段通过提出问题,再引出答案,在引出答案的同时引出了本文要介绍的我国500米口径球面射电望远镜。
所以第一段提出问题的目的是引出本文的介绍对象。
这也是说明文常见的写作手法。
故选A。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第二段中的“its surface is made up of 4450 panels which can be individually adjusted. This clever design feature allows scientists to detect radio signals from any angle with a gre at degree of accuracy.“它的表面由4500片可独立调节的金属板组成。
这种聪明的设计可以让科学家从不同的角度精确的探测到无线电信号。
可推知,这些金属板能帮助科学家捕捉无线电信号。
故选D。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据第三段中的“There are three hills about 500 meters away from one another, creating a valley that is perfect to support the telescope”这儿有三座间距500米左右
的山,是安置望远镜的绝佳的山谷,可知,望远镜之所以安置在贵州,是因为贵州有一个很好的山谷。
故选B。
(4)考查主旨大意。
根据最后一段中“And although it wasn't yet fully operated, FAST had already made great discoveries by October 2017.“虽然还没有完全运转起来,到2017年10月FAST已经有了重大发现。
可知,这一段讲述FAST的重大发现。
并且其后几句话也是来具体阐述FAST的重大发现的。
故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和主旨大意两个题型的考查,是一篇科技类阅读,考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。

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.
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 les 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.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors' centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera; almost the whole park-2.2 million acres—was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
(1)What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?
A. Its complicated geographical features.
B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.
C. The mysterious history of the park.
D. The exact location of the volcano.
(2)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.
(3)What does the underlined word "blow-up" in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A. Hot-air balloon.
B. Digital camera.
C. Big photograph.
D. Bird's view.
【答案】(1)D
(2)A
(3)C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,二十世纪六十年代Bob Christiansen在研究黄石公园的火山历史时,奇怪地发现到处看不到火山的影子,原来,这儿的火山并不是像我们大部分人想象的那种圆锥体形状的高耸的样子,而是一个巨大的洞,这个洞太大了以至于从地面上的任何地方都看不见。
(1)细节理解题。
根据第一段中的“But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.”可知,他困惑的是到处看不到火山。
故选D。
(2)段落大意题。
本段讲述了两种形状的火山,一种是通常人们所理解的由火山岩浆堆积形成的圆锥体,还有一种极具爆发力的火山,它们会在一个大裂缝中爆裂,留下一个巨大的洞,故选A。
(3)词义猜测题。
根据第三段中的“Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors' centers.”可知,美国国家航空和宇宙航行局为测试一些新的高海拔照相机而拍摄了黄石公园的照片。
一位深思熟虑的官员把其中的一些照片副本转交给了公园管理部门,认为他们可能会将其放大以供一个游客中心展示。
故可知,此处意为将照片放大。
故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测和段落大意三个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。
5.阅读理解
I was in the seventh grade, and we had moved to New Jersey in November. By then, everyone
already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in "Section L". I found out later that everyone called Section L "Loserville". It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!
I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.
Ana's texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better.
The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!
I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn't. I was still stuck in "Loserville", and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.
But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!
I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn't so hard anymore. Even though I couldn't change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference.(1)"Loserville" is a section for ________.
A. failures
B. good students
C. class secrets
D. newcomers (2)The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ________.
A. Ana didn't text back to her
B. her friends hurt her feelings
C. she was unfairly treated
D. she was a good student
(3)What made a difference in changing the situation?
A. She went back to Illinois.
B. She ended friendship with Ana.
C. She fought back with her classmates.
D. She began to make friends with others.

A. Lasting Friendship
B. An Incidence at School
C. Say Goodbye to "Loserville"
D. Unhappiness in "Loserville"
【答案】(1)A
(2)C

在那里的学校,作者被放到了代表“失败者”的“Loserville”区,受到了不公平地对待,作者尽自己最大的努力,想要告别“Loserville”。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的“It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for
troublemakers and not-so-smart kids.”这是一个公开的秘密,这是一个闹事者和不太聪明的孩子的区域;以及“I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!”一直是个好学生,有很棒的朋友,现在每个人都认为我是个失败者!由此推断出“Loserville”是一个失败者待着的地方,故选A。
(2)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“Bu t then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was.”但当我说我有多痛苦时,有些人就不再回我的短信了。

(3)考查细节理解。
根据倒数第二段中的“But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making fr iends.”但真正改变我的是我自己——我不再为自己感到难过,而是做了一些关于交朋友的事情。
可知她开始和别人交朋友,改变了情况,故选D。
(4)考查主旨大意。
纵观全文可知,本文讲述了作者在上七年级的时候,搬到了新泽西。

6.阅读理解
Microsoft announced this week that its facial-recognition system is now more accurate in identifying people of color, touting (吹嘘)its progress at tackling one of the technology's biggest biases (偏见).
But critics, citing Microsoft's work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, quickly seized on how that improved technology might be used. The agency contracts with Microsoft for cloud-computing tools that the tech giant says is largely limited to office work but can also include face recognition.
Columbia University professor Alondra Nelson tweeted, "We must stop confusing 'inclusion' in more 'diverse' surveillance (监管)systems with justice and equality."
Facial-recognition systems more often misidentify people of color because of a long-running data problem: The massive sets of facial images they train on skew heavily toward white men. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology study this year of the face-recognition systems designed by Microsoft, IBM and the China-based Face++ found that facial-recognition systems consistently giving the wrong gender for famous women of color including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, Michelle Obama and Shirley Chisholm, the first black female member of Congress.
The companies have responded in recent months by pouring many more photos into the mix, hoping to train the systems to better tell the differences among more than just white faces. IBM said Wednesday it used 1 million facial images, taken from the photo-sharing site Flickr, to build the "world's largest facial data-set" which it will release publicly for other companies to use.
IBM and Microsoft say that allowed its systems to recognize gender and skin tone with much
more precision. Microsoft said its improved system reduced the error rates for darker-skinned men and women by "up to 20 times," and reduced error rates for all women by nine times.
Those improvements were heralded(宣布)by some for taking aim at the prejudices in a rapidly spreading technology, including potentially reducing the kinds of false positives that could lead police officers misidentify a criminal suspect.
But others suggested that the technology's increasing accuracy could also make it more marketable. The system should be accurate, "but that's just the beginning, not the end, of their ethical obligation," said David Robinson, managing director of the think tank Upturn.
At the center of that debate is Microsoft, whose multimillion-dollar contracts with ICE came under fire amid the agency's separation of migrant parents and children at the Mexican border.
In an open letter to Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella urging the company to cancel that contract, Microsoft workers pointed to a company blog post in January that said Azure Government would help ICE "accelerate recognition and identification." "We believe that Microsoft must take an ethical stand, and put children and families above profits," the letter said.
A Microsoft spokesman, pointing to a statement last week from Nadella, said the company's "current cloud engagement" with ICE supports relatively anodyne(温和的)office work such as "mail, calendar, massaging and document management workloads." The company said in a statement that its facial-recognition improvements are "part of our going work to address the industry-wide and societal issues on bias."
Criticism of face recognition will probably expand as the technology finds its way into more arenas, including airports, stores and schools. The Orlando police department said this week that it would not renew its use of Amazon. com's Rekognition system.
Companies "have to acknowledge their moral involvement in the downstream use of their technology,"
Robinson said. "The impulse is that they're going to put a product out there and wash their hands of the consequences. That's unacceptable."
(1)What is "one of the technology's biggest biases" in Paragraph 1?
A. Class bias.
B. Regional difference.
C. Professional prejudice.
D. Racial discrimination.
(2)What can we know about the improvement of facial-recognition technology?
A. Justice and equality have been truly achieved.
B. It is due to the expansion of the photo database.
C. It has already solved all the social issues on biases.
D. The separation of immigrant parents from their children can be avoided.
(3)What is the focus of the face-recognition debate?
A. Data problems.
B. The market value.
C. The application field.
D. A moral issue.(4)What is David Robinson's attitude towards facial-recognition technology?
A. Skeptical.
B. Approval.
C. Optimistic.
D. Neutral.
(5)We can infer from the last paragraph that Robinson thinks _____.
A. companies had better hide from responsibilities
B. companies deny problems with its technical process
C. companies should not launch new products on impulse
D. companies should be responsible for the new product and the consequences
(6)Which can be the suitable title for the passage?
A. The wide use of Microsoft system
B. Fears of facial-recognition technology
C. The improvement of Microsoft system
D. Failure of recognizing black women
【答案】(1)D
(2)B
(3)D
(4)A
(5)D
(6)B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,微软面部识别技术改进了肤色识别,宣布其人脸识别技术将会更加精确,但是人们却认为它会带来更大的问题,希望微软把道德置于其利润之上,并且能够为产品以及其带来的后果负责。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段”Microsoft announced this week that its facial-recognition system is now more accurate in identifying people of color, touting (吹嘘)its progress at tackling one of the technology's biggest biases (偏见).“可知微软面部识别技术改进了肤色识别,吹嘘它可以解决该技术最大的偏见,由此可以推断该项技术在人种肤色上有偏见,也就是种族歧视。
故选D。
(2)考查细节理解。
根据第五段中的”The companies have responded in recent months by pouring many more photos into the mix, hoping to train the systems to better tell the differences among more than just white faces.“可知那些公司通过在原有照片中加入更多的照片,通过训练系统,从而提升系统的识别能力,即通过扩充照片数据库来提升系统的识别能力。
故选B。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据第九段中的”At the center of that debate is Microsoft, whose multimillion-dollar contracts with ICE came under fire amid the agency's separation of migrant parents and children at the Mexican border.“;和第十段中的”We believe that Microsoft must take an ethical stand, and put children and families above profits“可知对微软人脸识别技术的争论中心是,它会把墨西哥边缘的移民父母和孩子分开,且人们认为微软必须坚守道德底线,将儿童和家庭置于其利润之上,故推断目前对于脸部识别技术争论的焦点是道德问题。
故选D。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的 "The impulse is that they're going to put a product out there and wash their hands of the consequences. That's unacceptable."可知Robinson认为他们推出了一种产品然后对其后果撒手不管,这是让人难以接受的。
故推断Robinson对人脸识别技术是不支持的。
故选A。
(5)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的 "The impulse is that they're going to put a product out there and wash their hands of the consequences. That's unacceptable."可知Robinson认为他们推出了一种产品然后对其后果撒手不管,这是让人难以接受的。
故推断Robinson认为公司应该对自己的产品和产品带来的后果负责到底。
故选D。
(6)考查主旨大意。
纵观全文可知,本文讲述了人们怀疑改进之后的人脸识别技术会带
来更多的问题,比如种族歧视和置墨西哥孩子的利益于不顾。
故选B。

7.阅读理解
When you live in total messiness—cookies in your pants draws, and some old New Yorkers or apple seeds in your bed—it's hard to know where to look for when you lose your keys. The other day, after two weeks of searching, I found my keys in the refrigerator. I can't say I was surprised. But I was surprised when I was diagnosed with ADHD(多动症), when I was a junior at Yale.
According to a new study, 11% of school-age children have received an ADHD diagnosis, a 16% increase since 2007. And rising diagnoses mean rising treatments—drugs like Adderall are more accessible than ever. However, the consequences of misuse and abuse of these drugs are dangerous.
Yet also harmful are the consequences of ADHD undiagnosed, an all-too-common story for women like me, who have symptoms, like disorganization and forgetfulness, which look different from those typically expressed in males.
Dr. Ellen, author of Understanding Girls with ADHD, has found around 4 million females with ADHD are not diagnosed. "The main reason is that the diagnostic criteria were developed based on those hyperactive(过度活跃)young boys taken to clinics, making it difficult for girls to be diagnosed unless they behave like hyperactive boys." Ellen says.
Besides, the idea that young women actually have ADHD often causes skepticism. As a top student, I didn't believe my diagnosis at first. My friends were also confused, and rather certain my doctor was misguided.
"Often, if girls are smart or in supportive homes, symptoms are masked," Dr.Ellen says. "Girls will hide their inability to meet social expectations. They see their trouble organizing, and concentrating as character flaws(缺陷)."
These years, I am both embarrassed and exhausted by my struggles to keep track of objects, but drug has helped it and made it more bearable.
(1)The writer presents the first paragraph to .
A. air her view with an example
B. bring up the topic of the passage
C. show young people's messiness
D. prove Yale also has ADHD students
(2)Many female with ADHD are not diagnosed mainly because .
A.the diagnostic criteria are made according to male ADHD
B.they are smart enough to mask their ADHD symptoms

【解析】【分析】文章借由作者的亲身经历讲述女性多动症不容易被诊断出来的原因。
(1)推理判断题。
根据文章第一段的结构和But I was surprised when I was diagnosed with ADHD(多动症),when I was a junior at Yale.以及下文关于多动症的内容可知,作者讲述第一段的目的是为了引出下文关于多动症的话题,故选B项。
(2)细节理解题。
根据文章第四段的The main reason is that the diagnostic criteria were developed based on those hyperactive(过度活跃)young boys taken to clinics, making it difficult for girls to be diagnosed unless they behave like hyperactive boys.可知诊断多动症的标准是基于过度活跃的年轻男孩来制定的,所以很难诊断出女孩,除非她们的行为像过度活跃的男孩,故选A项。
(3)词义猜测题。
根据画线部分后面的As a top student, I didn't believe my diagnosis at first.My friends were also confused, and rather certain my doctor was misguided.可知作者一开始不相信多动症的诊断结果,她的朋友也很困惑,认为是医生诊断错误,即她们都怀疑医生的诊断,故推测画线部分的意思是"怀疑",故选D项。
(4)主旨大意题。
文章第三段主要讲述女性多动症的症状和男性不同;第四段主要讲述女孩很难被诊断出多动症,因为诊断标准是按男性制定的;第五段主要讲述女性自己会怀疑诊断结果;第六段主要讲述女性会把多动症症状隐藏起来。
综上所述,本文主要讲述女性不容易被诊断出多动症的原因,故选B项。

Science Advances published a new research report, saying bees are capable of addition and subtraction (减法)in Arithmetic(算术) learning—using colors in the place of plus and minus symbols.
It isn't unusual to see the ability to count—or at least distinguish between differing quantities in the animal kingdom—Such ability has been seen in frogs, spiders, and even fish. But solving equations (方程式) using symbols is rare, so far only achieved by famously brainy animals such as chimpanzees. The previous research says the social insects, ants, can count to four and。
