【精选】高考英语二轮复习闯关导练第二部分阅读理解技巧与体裁演练课时10阅读理解体裁解读1
课时10 阅读理解体裁解读(1)—记叙文【体裁解读】高考阅读理解体裁纷繁多样,但每套试卷通常包含一到两篇记叙文。
在所有的阅读体裁中,记叙文的难度相对是比较低的。
如果掌握了阅读的技巧,多多实践,阅读能力就会大大提高。
1.记叙文写作特点记叙文是一种记载和叙述事件由来,描绘事物和人物情景状态、过程及发展的文体。
消息、通讯、传记、游记、小说、童话、寓言以及记叙性的散文等文体,都属于记叙文的范畴。
就写作顺序而言,记叙文要么是按时间顺序,要么是按事件的重要性的顺序来展开。
不管是哪种叙述方法,最后经常会有一两句话抒发作者的情绪与感悟,这是记叙文的精华所在,也是阅读的难点所在,可谓“一篇之妙,在于落句”。
2.记叙文命题特点从命题形式上看,常见的有细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意、推理判断、作者意图等题型。
除了推论或词义辨识题,记叙文命题的顺序一般都会按照文章的脉络和故事发展的顺序层层推进,否则就会觉得别扭,逻辑不通。
同时,记叙文需要事件的发展过程作支撑,一半以上的题目都会用来检测考生对故事的了解,因此,我们必须弄明白整件事情的发展脉络。
而其余像主旨大意、作者意图之类的题目,则取决于文章的落句,集中考查对作者所发的感触的理解。
总之,细节题是记叙文命题的主流题型。
而寓意之类的题则是高一层次的题,有一定的难度和区分度,它们是拉开差距的题,答对了这些题,你才有可能成功地跻身高分之列。
综上所述,记叙文的应对策略:不漏细节,奠定基础;把准寓意,方能成功。
体裁演练(2017·全国新课标Ⅰ)I work with Volunteers for Wildlife,a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley.Trying to help injured,displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking;survival is never certain.However,when it works,it is simplybeautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl (猫头鹰) on the ground.When I arrived,I saw a 2 to 3weekold owl.It had alreadybeen placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest,I might have been able to put it back,but no luck.My next work was to construct anest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branchesinto the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in thenest,and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents,but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults;they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to seewhat news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on usall! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH!The parents had donetheir duty and would probably continue to do so. 1.What is unavoidable in the author's rescue work according to paragraph 1?A.Efforts made in vain.B.Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their homes.2.Why was the author called to Muttontown?A.To rescue a woman.B.To take care of a woman.C.To look at a baby owl.D.To cure a young owl.3.What made the chick calm down?A.A new nest. B.Some food.C.A recording. D.Its parents.4.How would the author feel about the outcome of theevent?A.It's unexpected. B.It's beautiful.C.It's humorous. D.It's discouraging.【能力提升】ABenjamin West,the father of American painting,showed his talent for art whenhe was only six years of age.But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one.In those days,a brush was made from camel's hair.There were no camels nearby.Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead.He cut some furfrom the family cat to make a brush. The brush did not last long.Soon Benjamin needed more fur.Before long,the catbegan to look ragged(蓬乱).His father said that the cat must be sick.Benjamin wasforced to admit what he had been doing.lot__caThe__t'swasaboutone of Benjamin's cousins,That year,_to_improve.Mr.Pennington,came to visit.He was impressed with Benjamin's drawings.When he went home,he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes.He also sent six engravings(版画) by an artist.These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushesBenjamin had ever seen. In 1747,when Benjamin was nine years old,Mr.Pennington returned for another visit.He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift.He asked Benjamin's parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit. In the city,Mr.Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.The boy began a landscape(风景)painting.William Williams,a wellknown painter,came to see him work.Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home.The books were long and dull.Benjamin could read only a little,having been a poor student.But he later said,“Those two books were my companions by day,and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books,they were his introduction to classical paintings.The nineyearold boy decided then that he would be an artist.1.What is the text mainly about?A.Benjamin's visit to Philadelphia.B.Williams' influence on Benjamin.C.The beginning of Benjamin's life as an artist.D.The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.2.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest?A.The cat would be closely watched.B.The cat would get some medical care.C.Benjamin would leave his home shortly.D.Benjamin would have real brushes soon.3.What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent?A.He took him to see painting exhibitions.B.He provided him with painting materials.C.He sent him to a school in Philadelphia.D.He taught him how to make engravings.4.Williams' two books helped Benjamin to ________.A.master the use of paintsB.appreciate landscape paintingsC.get to know other paintersD.make up his mind to be a painterBMy elder brother Steve gave me important lessons in values that helped me growinto an adult after our father died when I was six. For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once whenI returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, Steve took time to ask me what had happened. When I explained that my baseball had broken Mrs. Holt's basementconfesswindow, Steve encouraged me toto it. After all, I should have been playing in the park and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property (财产) is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifthgrade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else. I returned the pento my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and she praised me. Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn't know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm,“ The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is whether it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time. ”I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.5.What does the underlined word “confess” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Cover. B.Admit.C.Deny. D.Agree.6.How did the author feel when he faced Mrs. Holt?A.He was unwilling.B.He felt frightened.C.He appeared challenging.D.He was lighthearted.7.Which was the most important lesson the author learned from his brother?A.Care for the property of others.B.The value of honesty.C.Responsibility for one's actions.D.Respect for living things.8.What technique does the author mainly use to organize the text?A.Time order. B.Cause and effect.C.Examples. D.Logical reasoning.CI first met Paul Newman in 1968,when George Roy Hill,the director of ButchCassidyandtheSundanceKid,introduced us in New York City.When the studio didn't want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me.I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened totheir agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and TheStingfour years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference,we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV.We were respectful of craft (技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous,aggressive,and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection.Those were also at the core (核心) of our relationship off the screen. We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success,you shouldput something back—he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill,and me with Sundance and the institute and the didn't see each other all that regularly,festival.Paul and Ibut sharingbroughtthat us together.We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago.He'd been in and out of the hospital.He andI both knew what the deal was,and we didn't talk about it.Ours was a relationshipthat didn't need a lot of words.9.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn't like his agent.C.He wasn't famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.10.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same age.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They had similar characteristics.11.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for children.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.12.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.DMinutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater,employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups.It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater's 75year history.This time,however,the cleanup was a little different.As one group of workers carried out the rubbish,another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for thebuilding's end. The film classic TheLastPictureShow was the last movie shown in the old theater.Though the movie is 30 years old,most of the 250 seats were filled with tearyeyed audience wanting to say goodbye to the old building.Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate.The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down. Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible forthe Plaza to compete.He added that the theater's location (位置) was also a reason.“This used to be the center of t own,”he said.“Now the area is mostlyoffice buildings and warehouses.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turningthe old theater into a museum and public meeting place.However,these plans were abandoned because of financial problems.Bradford sold the building and land to alocal development firm,which plans to build a shopping complex on the land wherethe theater is located.

Last Sunday was that flight. My gliding(滑翔的) partners had looked at the weather reports of showers and decided to stay at home. People say that you shouldn't fly by yourself, but on that day I felt the urge to go flying and so headedfor my favorite gliding site.I had the mountain ridge to myself. After a smooth liftoff, I floated stablyin the breeze, feeling at peace with myself and the world. I looked across the valley to Bedford and a moment later saw the town disappear in a band of snow that wasmoving towards me. The breeze remained strong enough for flying and I knew that as long as the visibilitywas good, it was OK for me to stay in the air. The snow moved in and swirled around me. It was a light dry snow. The day was already very quiet but, somehow, the light snow made it even more silent. I felt like a snowflake. Two bald eagles joined me. They didn't pay me any attention and spent a few minutes flying around the ridge before disappearing. I flew through another band of snow. I had been flying for about 45 minutes when I next looked across the valley.I could see there were more bands of snow to come and the breeze was dying too. It was time to go home, get in a hot bath and warm up.

2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习第二部分题型突破专题12阅读理解第2讲推理判断题一对点特训
2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习第二部分题型突破专题12阅读理解第2讲推理判断题一对点特训(xx·山西大学附属中学高三月考)Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes(运动员). Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has shown that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback(反馈) to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not bee work for children. The oute of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting, young athletes may be worried more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the oute and find fault with youngsters' performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the oute. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates learning and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.体裁:说明文题材:文化教育主题:正面评价儿童运动语篇导读:文章说明了在儿童运动时,父母以及教练的评价反馈的重要性,建议我们在孩子运动时多作正面评价,少批评。

2021届高考英语二轮复习闯关导练第二部分阅读理解技巧与体裁演练课时10阅读理解体裁解读
2021届高考英语二轮复习闯关导练第二部分阅读理解技巧与体裁演练课时10阅读理解体裁解读—记叙文【体裁解读】高考阅读明白得体裁纷繁多样,但每套试卷通常包含一到两篇记叙文。
在所有的阅读体裁中,记叙文的难度相对是比较低的。
假如把握了阅读的技巧,多多实践,阅读能力就会大大提高。
1.记叙文写作特点记叙文是一种记载和叙述事件由来,描画事物和人物情形状态、过程及进展的文体。
消息、通讯、传记、游记、小说、童话、寓言以及记叙性的散文等文体,都属于记叙文的范畴。
就写作顺序而言,记叙文要么是按时刻顺序,要么是按事件的重要性的顺序来展开。
不管是哪种叙述方法,最后经常会有一两句话抒发作者的情绪与感悟,这是记叙文的精华所在,也是阅读的难点所在,可谓“一篇之妙,在于落句”。
2.记叙文命题特点从命题形式上看,常见的有细节明白得、词义推测、主旨大意、推理判定、作者意图等题型。
除了推论或词义辨识题,记叙文命题的顺序一样都会按照文章的脉络和故事进展的顺序层层推进,否则就会觉得别扭,逻辑不通。
同时,记叙文需要事件的进展过程作支撑,一半以上的题目都会用来检测考生对故事的了解,因此,我们必须弄明白整件情况的进展脉络。
而其余像主旨大意、作者意图之类的题目,则取决于文章的落句,集中考查对作者所发的感触的明白得。
总之,细节题是记叙文命题的主流题型。
而寓意之类的题则是高一层次的题,有一定的难度和区分度,它们是拉开差距的题,答对了这些题,你才有可能成功地跻身高分之列。
综上所述,记叙文的应计策略:不漏细节,奠定基础;把准寓意,方能成功。
体裁演练(2021·全国新课标Ⅰ)I work with Volunteers for Wildlife,a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley.Trying to help injured,displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking;survival is never certain.However,when it works,it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl (猫头鹰) on the ground.When I arrived,I saw a 2 to 3weekold owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest,I might have been able to put it back,but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branchesinto the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest,and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents,but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults;they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.1.What is unavoidable in the author's rescue work according to paragraph 1?A.Efforts made in vain.B.Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their homes.2.Why was the author called to Muttontown?A.To rescue a woman.B.To take care of a woman.C.To look at a baby owl.D.To cure a young owl.3.What made the chick calm down?A.A new nest. B.Some food.C.A recording. D.Its parents.4.How would the author feel about the outcome of theevent?A.It's unexpected. B.It's beautiful.C.It's humorous. D.It's discouraging.【能力提升】ABenjamin West,the father of American painting,showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age.But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one.In those days,a brush was made from camel's hair.There were no camels nearby.Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead.He cut some fur fromthe family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long.Soon Benjamin needed more fur.Before long,the cat began to look ragged(蓬乱).His father said that the cat must be sick.Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.The_cat's_lot_was_about_to_improve.That year,one of Benjamin's cousins,Mr.Pennington,came to visit.He was impressed with Benjamin's drawings.When he went home,he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes.He also sent six engravings(版画) by an artist.These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.In 1747,when Benjamin was nine years old,Mr.Pennington returned for another visit.He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift.He asked Benjamin's parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city,Mr.Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.The boy began a landscape(风景)painting.William Williams,a wellknown painter,came to see him work.Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home.The books were long and dull.Benjamin could read only a little,having been a poor student.But he later said,“Those two books were my companions by day,and under my pillo w at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books,they were his introduction to classical paintings.The nineyearold boy decided then that he would be an artist.1.What is the text mainly about?A.Benjamin's visit to Philadelphia.B.Williams' influence on Benjamin.C.The beginning of Benjamin's life as an artist.D.The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.2.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest?A.The cat would be closely watched.B.The cat would get some medical care.C.Benjamin would leave his home shortly.D.Benjamin would have real brushes soon.3.What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent?A.He took him to see painting exhibitions.B.He provided him with painting materials.C.He sent him to a school in Philadelphia.D.He taught him how to make engravings.4.Williams' two books helped Benjamin to ________.A.master the use of paintsB.appreciate landscape paintingsC.get to know other paintersD.make up his mind to be a painterBMy elder brother Steve gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult after our father died when I was six.For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, Steve took time to ask me what had happened. When I explained that my baseball had broken Mrs. Holt's basement window, Steve encouraged me to confess to it. After all, I should have been playing in the park and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property (财产) is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifthgrade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and she praised me.Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn't know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm,“ The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is whether it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time. ”I really felt terribl e then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.5.What does the underlined word “confess” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Cover. B.Admit.C.Deny. D.Agree.6.How did the author feel when he faced Mrs. Holt?A.He was unwilling.B.He felt frightened.C.He appeared challenging.D.He was lighthearted.7.Which was the most important lesson the author learned from his brother?A.Care for the property of others.B.The value of honesty.C.Responsibility for one's actions.D.Respect for living things.8.What technique does the author mainly use to organize the text?A.Time order. B.Cause and effect.C.Examples. D.Logical reasoning.CI first met Paul Newman in 1968,when George Roy Hill,the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,introduced us in New York City.When the studio didn't want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me.I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference,we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV.We were respectful of craft (技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous,aggressive,and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection.Those were also at the core (核心) of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success,you should put something back—he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill,and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly,but sharing that brought us together.We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago.He'd been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn't talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.9.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn't like his agent.C.He wasn't famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.10.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same age.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They had similar characteristics.11.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for children.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.12.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.DMinutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater,employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups.It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater's 75year history.This time,however,the cleanup was a little different.As one group of workers carried out the rubbish,another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building's end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater.Though the movie is 30 years old,most of the 250 seats were filled with tearyeyed audience wanting to say goodbye to the old building.Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate.The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete.He added that the theater's location (位置) was also a reason.“This used to be the center of town,”he said.“Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turningthe old theater into a museum and public meeting place.However,these plans were abandoned because of financial problems.Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm,which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said goodbye as Bradford locked t he doors for the last time.After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movie.The theater will be missed.13.In what way was yesterday's cleanup at the Plaza special?A.It made room for new equipment.B.It signaled the closedown of the theater.C.It was done with the help of the audience.D.It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.14.Why was The Last Picture Show put on?A.It was an alltime classic.B.It was about the history of the town.C.The audience requested it.D.The theater owner found it suitable.15.What will probably happen to the building?A.It will be repaired.B.It will be turned into a museum.C.It will be knocked down.D.It will be sold to the city government.16.What can we infer about the audience?A.They are disappointed with Bradford.B.They are sad to part with the old theater.C.They are supportive of the city officials.D.They are eager to have a shopping center.EAt least once each winter I manage to get a good flight in the middle of a snowstorm. Last Sunday was that flight. My gliding(滑翔的) partners had looked at the weather reports of showers and decided to stay at home. People say that you shouldn't fly by yourself, but on that day I felt the urge to go flying and so headed for my favorite gliding site.I had the mounta in ridge to myself. After a smooth liftoff, I floated stablyin the breeze, feeling at peace with myself and the world. I looked across the valley to Bedford and a moment later saw the town disappear in a band of snow that was moving towards me.The breeze remained strong enough for flying and I knew that as long as the visibility was good, it was OK for me to stay in the air. The snow moved in and swirled around me. It was a light dry snow. The day was already very quiet but, somehow, the light snow made it even more silent. I felt like a snowflake.Two bald eagles joined me. They didn't pay me any attention and spent a few minutes flying around the ridge before disappearing. I flew through another band of snow. I had been flying for about 45 minutes when I next looked across the valley.I could see there were more bands of snow to come and the breeze was dying too.It was time to go home, get in a hot bath and warm up. I couldn't wait to tell my gliding partners that they had missed out on a perfect flight.17.Why did the author's gliding partners refuse to fly on that day?A.They preferred to fly alone.B.The weather did not permit.C.They did not like winter flights.D.The equipment was not adequate.18.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “visibility” in Paragraph 3?A.Weather. B.Skill.C.Possibility.

高考英语二轮复习 闯关导练 第二部分 阅读理解技巧与体裁演练 课时15 阅读理解七选五(1)
课时15 阅读理解七选五(1)一、题型特点阅读理解七选五主要考查对文章整体内容、结构以及上下文逻辑的理解和掌握。
七选五以考查细节理解为主。
文章以说明文和议论文居多,且结构清晰,过程完整,适合考查标题概括、主题句和过渡句等,以达到考查学生综合阅读能力的要求。
短文的特点如下:(1)选材特点:短文一般为300词左右的说明文或议论文,其中正文词数240词左右,选项词数60词左右;(2)篇章结构常为:提出问题——解决问题;(3)七个选项意义上都与短文相关,设空类型一般有标题类、段落主题句类、过渡句类、细节类;(4)选项均为完整句子,句型不一;(5)顺序通常按长度排列。
二、解题技巧1.通读全文快速浏览文章,寻找主题句,弄清文章结构及文章内容。
在阅读过程中,要注意文章的开始与结束段落,尤其是文章的首句及末句,因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式较为常见。
首段一般是全文的主题所在,说明文章将探讨的内容,并会简要指出文章的写作思路,有时甚至会以提纲的形式呈现。
掌握首句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义,如果首句是文章的主题句,就可以使读者迅速明确文章将如何展开,并对文章的写作主题有一个整体的了解。
如果首句不是主题句,则需要继续寻找。
这时,可以考虑文章的写作方式是否为“结尾总结”式,如两者均可排除,则需要在文章中的其他段落寻找主题句,但要注意首段与末段的提示作用。
2.略读段落在短时间内找出每段的关键词。
明确各段的主题句或段落大意。
文章正文部分通常分为若干段落。
各段落会围绕文章主题展开,对文章主题从不同的方面进行叙述。
找出各个段落中的关键词,明确其描述内容,为解答题目作好铺垫。
3.定位选项明确各备选项的含义,抓往其中的关键词语,根据文章结构与具体内容将选项填入文中,填写时要注意各选项中出现的衔接性标志词。
在定位选项时,要特别注意空白所在段落的上、下段的写作内容,以及空白所在段落上段的尾句和下一段的首句。
将所选选项放入空白处,看看是否与上下文构成语意及逻辑上的一致关系,是否符合该处语境,能否使文章无论在内容还是衔接上都连贯。
2018届高考英语二轮复习闯关导练第二部分阅读理解技巧与体裁演练课时14阅读理解体裁解读(
课时14 阅读理解体裁解读(5)—应用文【体裁解读】应用文指在平时工作和生活中使用的文体,一般可分为两大类:一类是表达性应用文,比如书信、日志、条子、报告、请柬等;另一类是说明性应用文,包含广告、启事、海报、守则、通告、条约、个人简历、备忘录、纲要等。
近来几年一般高考英语试题主要波及宣传广告、通告类应用文,自然有时也出现了书信类文章;其文章体现形式多样,除了文字外还有图表、图片、表格、地址、网址等。
高考英语阅读理解应用文的命题特色:1.应用文种类文章,语言精练,一般来说和所述问题没关的文字不会出现,比如好多文章没有标题,很多文章甚至通篇都没有一句完好的句子,而是用词、数字、缩写、短语等来代替。
2.就其用词来看,文章中充满着大批冗长而冷僻的专闻名词,比如人名、地名、机构名、组织名、书本名、作品名等等,并且均没有汉语说明。
3.应用文的行文方式,每种文体都有其固定的格式。
表达性应用文采纳一般记述文的写作方法,无特别之处:说明性应用文的行文是摆列式——即以小标题为单位逐个下行摆列。
4.高考英语应用文的设问一般依据文章段落的次序挨次设置。
设问内容一般以细节题为主,也兼有咨询短文出处和写作企图的题Wherecanyoumostprobablyfind目。

体裁演练California Condor's Shocking RecoveryCalifornia condorCalifornia condors are North America's largest birds, withwinglength of up to 3 meters.In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning (铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred (繁殖). Since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.Electrical lines have been killing them off.“As they go in to rest for the night, they just don't see the power lines,” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo.Their wings can bridge the gap between lines,resulting in electrocution (电死) if they touch two lines at once.So scientists have come up with a shocking idea.Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock.Before the trainingwas introduced, 66% of setfree birds died of electrocution.This has now dropped to 18%.Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with.When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead,they absorb large quantities of lead.This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney (肾) failure and death.So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days.This work is starting to pay off.The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.Rideout's team thinks that the California condors' average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years.“Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now,” he says.“They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them.”1.California condors attract researchers' interest because they ________.A.are active at nightB.had to be bred in the wild C.are found only in CaliforniaD.almost died out in the 1980s2.Researchers have found electrical lines are ________. A.blocking condors' journey homeB.big killers of California condorsC.rest places for condors at nightD.used to keep condors away3.According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning ________. A.makes condors too nervous to flyB.has little effect on condors' kidneysC.can hardly be gotten rid of from condors' blood D.makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds 4.This passage shows that ________.A.the average survival time of condors is satisfactory B.Rideout's research interest lies in electric engineering C.the efforts to protect condors have brought good results D.researchers have found the final answers to the problem 【能力提升】ABack in 1969, it was the Apollo 11 crew who flew to the moon in a spaceship.When U.S.astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped foot on the moon, they were the first.Meanwhile, their fellow astronaut Michael Collins circled the moon in their spaceship, named Columbia.When Armstrong and Aldrin were done with their walk,they returned to the command module, and back to Earth.That part of the spaceship is on view at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington,D.C.But, if you cannot get to Washington, soon you will be able to see Columbia on your computer or your smartphone.Digital scientists are scanning the inside of Columbia. They are creating an online model, in three dimensions, or“3D”. By looking at these photographs, you will be able to see outer space, the way the astronauts did. It will be like sitting in their seats.Want your very own Columbia?You will be able to print a 3D copy of Columbia.Experts say anyone can make a li fesized model.But they expect most people to make smaller models of the 320×400 cm(11*×13*)command module.Scientists are using special 3D technology to scan the inside.They use cameras on long arms to take the photographs.The thousands of photographs taken will be combined with 50 laser scans.What would it be like to sit inside Columbia and take a look around?All the images will be loaded into software that allows you to look around the module on a computer screen.The user will be able to see the Columbia both inside and out.The Smithsonian says that the 3D technology gives the user ways to see things they cannot see at the museum.And it will give information that even the museum curators(馆长)have not seen before.“With the command Module, no one has been inside since it came into the collection,” says Adam Metallo, Smithsonian 3D imaging specialist. “Now the information we capture can give anyone in the world a view of what it looks like inside this incredible piece of history.”1.The author mentions moon landing of the Apollo 11 to ________.A.introduce the topicB.honour the astronautsC.mark the milestone eventD.draw attention to space research2.According to the text, people ________.A.are advised to make a lifesized modelB.can clone a Columbia with 3D technologyC.will visit a copy of Columbia in the museumD.can buy a copied Columbia in the museum3.What's the advantage of a copied Columbia?A.It can attract more visitors.B.It can help look far into the universe.C.It makes 3D technology more popular.D.It provides more knowledge than the museum.4.What might be the best title for the text?A.Columbia lands in your smartphoneB.3D technology, the new way to explore spaceC.Landing on the moon, a milestone in space travelD.An online model shows you how to land on the moonBDan Bebber is a senior research fellow at the University of Exeter in Britain. He says research has shown that wild plants and animals are moving toward Earth’s North and South poles as the planet warms.Mr. Bebber wanted to know if the same thing was happening with organisms (微生物) that attack agricultural crops. He examined reports of first sightings of new insects and diseases around the world. The records came from CABI - the Centre for Agricultural Bioscience International. He says the group began collecting information from developing and industrialized countries years ago.Dan Bebber and his research team studied 612 different organisms -from viruses and bacteria to insects like beetles and butterflies. They found that since 1960, crop pests and diseases have been moving toward the poles at an average rate of about 3 kilometers each year. Mr Bebber says this puts the most productive farmland in the world in danger.“As new species of pests and diseases evolve and potent ially the environment for them becomes more amenable at higher altitudes, the pressure on the breadbasket of the world is going to increase.”Farmers face other threats. Invasive species passed through trade are also causing problems. Gene Kritsky is an entomologist at the College of Mount St. Joseph in Ohio. He specialises in the study of insects. He says climate change may improve conditions for some invasive species.“It means that species in other parts of the world that might do well in warmer temperatures can now do well in the breadbasket of America.”Another entomologist Christian Krupke of Purdue University says the effects of these changes will depend very much on the crop, the insect and the disease. But he says the research is a warning sign that people should care about climate change and do something about it.5.The purpose of Dan Bebber's research was to find ________.A.if farmland could be moved to colder places thanks to global warmingB.if diseases and insects harmful to crops were going towards colder areasC.if organisms were moving to the north and south polesD.if the number of crop pests was increasing6.According to Dan Bebber, if crop pests keep moving towards the poles, ________.A.it will be hard for farmers to kill themB.the most productive farmland will produce more cropsC.the earth will not produce enough food to support the worldD.the conditions for some crops may be improved7.Which of the following is not a threat that farmers have to face?A.Climate change makes crop pests to adapt to a new environment.B.Foreign species are brought in by trade.C.Invasive species doing well in warmer places might do well in America.D.The impacts of the climate and species changes on crops are not easy to determine.CWolves are in the news these days, especially with the controversial Alaskan_Wolf_Hunting_Festival being a focus of public attention. Since these animals are getting more attention in the outer world, they may be more likely to show up in your_inner_world and may take on many forms and have many meanings.Wolves live in a pack(狼群)and they have a leader, a guide who is responsible for directing the pack and keeping it safe. If a wolf appears in your dream and you have a positive relationship with the wolf, it may suggest your own leadership abilities. Wolves in dreams may also mean the need for trusting your own internal leader-the soft howl from the bottom of your own heart.While wolves certainly do howl, it is till unknown why they howl at the moon. The wolf's howl is actually a form of communication. Wolvesmay howl as a form of making friends, or as a warning, or to indicate that they are lonely or need help. Is your dream wolf howling? If so, what emotions exist in the dream? Do you feel lost and in need of guidance, do you feel like you've lost your “pack”? Do you feel the need to let others know they are crossing your land? Or are you simply filled with a sense of joy that can only be expressed in a howl?Wolves can be experienced hunters, and often appear in folk stories as something harmless when in fact it is there to do great harm. Are there any wolves in sheep's clothing in your life? Often we have intuition(直觉)about people or situations, feelings that these people or situations should be avoided, but we ignore them based on their harmless outer appearance. Wolves in dreams could be signs that there are hidden dangers in your life. Never ignore your intuition because it doesn't make any sense. Your intuition exists to guide and protect you and it can discover a wolf long before it removes its woolen suit.8.Why does the author mention “Alaskan Wolf Hunting Festival” in the first paragraph?A.To support the main idea of the text.B.To introduce the topic of the passage.C.To show his pity for the wolves.D.To prove wolves are getting more attention.9.What does “your inner world” refer to in the first paragraph?A.Personalities. B.Feelings.C.Thoughts. D.Dreams.10.According to the text, wolves howl for the following reasons EXCEPT ________.A.to be friendly with other wolvesB.to ask for helpC.to share how they feelD.to admire the moon11.The passage is mainly about ________.A.wolves and their behaviorsB.explanations of people's dreamsC.different types of wolvesD.hidden dangers in our dreamsDAmericans spend more than $20 billion a year on supplements in the hope of preventing cancer, heart disease and dementia. But the latestresearch shows they provide no benefit—and they may even be dangerous to our health.The researchers involved in the studies say they're concerned that people are spending too much money on pills that bring no benefit, and in some cases may even be harmful. What's more, they even imply that companies are selling what is fueling false health anxieties to offer unnecessary cures.Enough is EnoughTo reach these conclusions, an international team of researchers conducted three different studies. The first was a study that looked at the consumption of a daily multivitamin to prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer in more than 450, 000 participants. These pills had no obvious effect on death. The second study looked into the effects of a daily multivitamin after a heart attack in about 1, 700 men and women over an average of five years. No advantage could be found. The third study looked into the use of a multivitamin to prevent dementia in nearly 6, 000 men aged 65 or older. Again, nothing.“These vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough,” concluded the experts.Dangerous to Your HealthIf that wasn't bad enough, the researchers also found that vitamin E, when taken in a high dose, could be harmful. And shockingly, smokers who took betacarotene were at an increased risk of developing cancer. The researchers also said vitamin B is ineffective in preventing chronic diseases.Instead of taking in vitamins and minerals, the experts recommended that people should eat more fruit and vegetables, reduce trans fats and salt, reduce calories, and increase physical activities.12.What is the best title for the passage?A.Vitamins and minerals are “a waste of money”.B.Americans suffer from cancer and heart disease.C.Vitamins and minerals are rich in vegetables.D.Americans dislike eating fruit and vegetables.13.What do the first two paragraphs imply?A.People know that they have been cheated.B.People should really stop taking these pills.C.All the health anxieties result from pills.D.The government should punish the companies.14.What did the researchers do in their studies?A.They all took in a daily multivitamin.B.They tried to cure many people with cancer.C.They followed 6,000 people with dementia.D.They tracked l,700 people with heart problems.15.The author mentioned vitamin E in the passage ________.A.to show vitamin E only does harm to healthB.to prove taking in a high dose of vitamin E is dangerousC.to suggest readers should give up vitamin ED.to warn the smokers against vitamin E forever16.Where would you probably read the passage?A.In a storybook. B.On a poster.C.In a health care book. D.In a textbook.EThe behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放)by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zerocarbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own —though extremely important - is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率),which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.‘Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,’explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher,‘consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.’ In other words,old habit s die hard, even in the bestdesigned ecohome.Another part of the problem is information. Households andbillpayers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energyuse habits. Without specific information,it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈) facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors,could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieveup to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面),suggesting that individuals' behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted — whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器), for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.17.As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of ________.A.zerocarbon homesB.the behaviour of building usersC.sustainable building designD.the reduction of carbon emissions18.The underlined word“which” in Paragraph 2 refers to“________.”A.the ways B.their homesC.developments D.existing efforts19.What are Katy Janda's words mainly about?A.The importance of changing building users' habits. B.The necessity of making a careful building design. C.The variety of consumption patterns of building users. D.The role of technology in improving energy efficiency. 20.The information gap in energy use ________.A.can be bridged by feedback facilitiesB.affects the study on energy monitorsC.brings about problems for smart metersD.will be caused by building users' old habits课时13 阅读理解体裁解读(4)—科普小品文【体裁演练】加利福尼亚州的秃鹫因为各种原因濒临灭绝,但在科研人员的帮助下,秃鹫的种群逐渐恢复生机。

Now, research has found the average age at which your music library is unlikely to change: 33.The study's author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on U.S. Spotify users and comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest.To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes, the author gathered self-reported age data from Spotify and looked at users' “Taste Profiles”,which tracks how many times listeners have streamed music of individual artists. These artists were then matched to their popularity rank on The Echo Nest.The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard, the top 200 albums in the country, but this music represents a smaller part of their streaming as they age. In their teens, they listen to a lot of the same music, over and over again. Frank T. McAndrew, a professor of psychology at KnoxCollege, explains that that's the “mere exposure effect” at work, and it basically means, the more we're exposed to something, the more we like it.There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the current top musical hits, and the author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children's music and nursery rhymes in their libraries. In other words, when users may have become parents.But the study concludes with some good news for parents:“If you're getting older and can't find yourself staying as related to the popular music as you used to, have no fear—just wait for your kids to become teenagers, and you'll get exposed to all the popular music of the day once again!”1.What happens after teens grow older?A.They quit listening to music.B.Their interest in music fades.C.They change their music libraries.D.Their musical tastes become stable.2.What is the way of the research?A.Interviews.B.Analyzing data.C.Observation.D.Tracking popularity.3.How do teens develop their musical tastes?A.They listen to the same music repeatedly.B.They act like their favorite popular stars.C.They experience different styles of music.D.They like top music worldwide.4.What's the good news for parents in the last paragraph?A.Parents will regain their faith in music.B.Parents will influence their teens in music.C.Parents will hear their favorite music again.D.Parents will enjoy the music for teens again.B[2020·贵州普通高等学校招生适应性测试]There's one easy thing you can do every day to live longer and happier, according to a recent study, and it has nothing to do with diet, exercise, or cutting out bad habits.A review of nearly 150 studies with more than 300,000 participants found that having active social circles decreases your chances of dying by 50 percent, regardless of age, gender or medical history. “When we're social, we live longer,” Dr. Kelli Harding noted. “Loneliness is more of a risk factor to health than other known risk factors, like high blood pressure and obesity.”The findings are written up in Dr. Harding's new book, The Rabbit Effect, which is about how kindness, rather than laughter, may be the best medicine. The book gets its title from a famous 1978 study of the relationship between cholesterol (胆固醇) and heart health in rabbits. Researchers accidentally discovered that those rabbits that received the most affection from their human handlers lived much longer than the others.We live in a world where most of our social interactions happen through our phones. But to get the health benefits of a more active social circle, you don't have to throw away your device and join a book club. More casual interactions with neighbors, shop owners, and others you meet every day can do_the_trick. Increasingly, those relationships can start online. That's where Nextdoor comes in. The stated purpose of the company is “to cultivate a kinder world where everyone has a neighborhood they can depend on”.When asked for advice on one thing you can do to live longer and happier, Dr. Harding said it perfectly, “Be kind. It's actually pretty amazing how much each person can make the world a better, kinder, healthier place. It really takes very little and you never know the impact you have on somebody.”5.What do we know about The Rabbit Effect?A.Its title comes from a study.B.It's a report about heart health.C.Laughter could cure diseases.D.Rabbits could help live longer.6.What's the purpose of Nextdoor?A.To advocate online shopping to save time.B.To offer the neighborhood sports facilities.C.To settle the arguments among the families.D.To create a harmonious community to rely on.7.What does the underlined phrase “do the trick” in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Improve health and wellness.B.Set up online relationships.C.Build a happy and warm family.D.Keep away from bad habits.8.What can be inferred from Dr. Harding's words in the last paragraph?A.We can look for a kind neighborhood.B.We should be kind to animals in the wild.C.Every small act of kindness can make a difference.D.All kinds of social activities can make a better world.C[2020·武汉市高中毕业生质量检测]Yellow is usually the color of happy, joyful emotions. But according to a new study, not all people associate the color with good feelings.To find out what factors might play a role, researchers tested a new hypothesis (假设):What if people's physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors? For example, if someone lived in cold and rainy Finland, would he feel differently about the color yellow from someone who lived near the Sahara Desert?The researchers looked at color-emotion data from an ongoing international survey of 6,625 people in 55 countries. The survey asked participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they were associated with feelings including joy, pride, fear, and shame.The researchers paid particular attention to the data for yellow, and analyzed how different factors—including hours of sunshine, hours of daylight, and the amount of rainfall—were associated with the emotions people reported for the color. The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall, and how far they lived from the equator (赤道).Overall, people were more likely to associate yellow with joy when they lived in rainier countries that lay farther from the equator, researchers reported in the Journal of En v ironmental Psychology. In Egypt, the likelihood (可能性) of yellow being associated with joy was just 5.7%, whereas in chilly Finland it was 87.7%. In the United States, with its mild climate and amber waves of grain, people's yellow-joy association levels were between 60% and 70%.The researchers also checked whether associations changed with the season—whether, for example, people in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer. They found that opinions about the color remained fairly constant all year round—even when the weather changed, the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold.9.What did the researchers do before the survey?A.They went to Finland.B.They made an assumption.C.They studied certain colors.D.They analyzed some data.10.Which of the following affects people's feelings about yellow?A.The changeable weather.B.The length of daytime.C.The geographical position.D.The amount of snowfall.11.How did the researchers carry out the survey?A.By interviewing participants.B.By studying the data collected.C.By traveling around the world.D.By looking at color combinations.12.What can be the best title of the text?A.Finland: A Country Admiring YellowB.Yellow Associated with Joy ConditionallyC.Color: An Important Role in Good FeelingsD.Color-emotion Data Collected Internationally阅读理解技能保分练(三)推理判断题——隐含推断类A[2020·成都市毕业班第二次诊断检测]People often ask how I decide where to go, and I usually get hesitated with my response, as I don't actually have an answer to that. For more than three years, I have been making movements with the universe, traveling from one location to another at seemingly random intervals.A friend of mine posted a message online asking if anybody was interested in a job teaching English in China. So I jumped on a coming plane. Walking into my first class, I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldn't understand a single word out of my mouth. When I walked out of my last class, six months later, I had made a personal connection with them. Some of my students could barely speak Chinese or English. But somehow, through determination and force, we were connected.Every class was not only a lesson in English, but in good fellowship, being a role model, being a parent, and being a friend. I became a father to some, an older brother to others. I was loved and adored, feared and hated. I had to learn discipline, and not only how to deal it out, but how to discipline and conduct myself as a role model. But in between the discipline, I had to make learning a fun experience. And they forgave me when I yelled or got upset. And when they lost their tempers or bruised their knees or missed their mommies, I forgave them, kissed their bruises better, and gave them a shoulder to cry on.Teaching English in China is, by far, the most emotionally rewarding and fulfilling thing I've ever challenged myself to do. I have walked away from this job with a softened heart, knowing that I have made a difference in so many lives. I want that. I want my teaching to be reciprocal because they taught me how to unconditionally open my heart and how to be a more loving and patient person.1.What can we learn about the writer before he came to China?A.He didn't have a fixed job.B.He was a professional writer.C.He worked in a travel agency.D.He taught in a language school.2.What was the situation like when the author met his students for the first time?A.Hard.B.Exciting.C.Touching.D.Inspiring.3.What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3?A.He was casual and patient.B.He was responsible but sensitive.C.He was cautious but bad-tempered.D.He was self-reflective and considerate.4.What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.Beneficial.B.Interacted.C.Encouraging.D.Acceptable.B[2020·长沙市高三统一模拟]I'm interested in the Renaissance (文艺复兴), so I like visiting ancient Italian cities. Ferrara is called City of the Renaissance. When I learned about this city on the Internet, I decided to pay a visit to it.The city has a certain charm, but I find it isn't as great as other Italian cities like Verona, let alone Venice or Rome. The Michelin Green Guide gives it two stars, which is right.I first visited the city centre. The Cathedral and Castello Estense are at the heart of the city. Both have striking appearances. I visited the Cathedral first. Castello Estense is also worth visiting, which owes its name to the powerful Este family. It was built with bricks and surrounded by a moat (护城河). At the lower levels, the history of the city and the Este family are told through displays, and in another part the ceilings are shown through mirrors on the ground.In the north, we can appreciate the Renaissance extension of the town, with straight streets and monumental houses. The famous Palazzo dei Diamanti lies here. When I was visiting it, it started to rain, so after taking a few photos quickly, I cut my visit there short. It had been raining for a few days. When the rain ceased, I went to visit the historical centre and the Renaissance buildings.After leaving there, I visited several other interesting places such as palaces and the narrow streets of the downtown. After four hours in Ferrara I left by train to Mantua. There I had a much better time.5.Why did the author pay a visit to Ferrara?A.Because it is related to the Renaissance.B.Because it is full of charm.C.Because it is a very famous city in Europe.D.Because it is strongly recommended by a website.6.What did the author think of The Michelin Green Guide's comment on Ferrara?A.Ridiculous. B.Reasonable.C.Unacceptable. D.Unbelievable.7.How could Castello Estense probably get its name according to the text?A.It came from the historical buildings.B.It originated from the straight streets.C.It was named after the powerful Este family.D.It was connected to the surrounding moat.8.What can we infer from the text?A.The writer thought Ferrara was as great as Venice.B.The writer visited Palazzo dei Diamanti for a long time.C.The writer was much more satisfied with the tour in Mantua than in Ferrara.D.The writer was disappointed with the visit to the Cathedral and Castello Estense.C[2020·潍坊、淄博、东营市高三期末考试]Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are an integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter and habitat to various organisms. They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem. However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime “coral bleaching”(白化现象) events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them.In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms. The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world.“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places—the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they're looking for a place to settle,” said Steve Simpson, study co-author and a professor at the University of Exeter, UK.By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played. “These returning fish, are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems. Boosting fish populations in this way could help to kick-start natural recovery processes, preventing the damage we're seeing on many coral reefs around the world,” said lead author, Tim Gordon.9.What causes the phenomenon of coral bleaching?A.Diverse species. B.Noise pollution.C.Fishing industry. D.Climbing temperatures.10.What approach is introduced to recover the coral reefs?A.Removing damaged coral reefs.B.Using loudspeakers to keep fish away.C.Building new homes for sea species.D.Playing certain sounds to appeal to fish.11.Why are Steve Simpson's words quoted?A.To provide some findings of the study.B.To show the progress of the experiment.C.To explain reasons for the new approach.D.To give another solution to the problem.12.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The attempts are in vain.B.Natural recovery is impossible.C.Initial success has been achieved.D.The coral reefs have returned to normal.阅读理解技能保分练(四)推理判断题——写作意图类A[2020·长沙市高三统一模拟]If you'll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some useful tips for buying a cheap ticket.When to buyIf you're going to buy tickets for domestic (国内的) flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still useful because most U.S. carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.When to flyWeekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the U.S., the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary (旅行计划) for the expensive U.S. spring break travel period is scheduled from Tuesday to Saturday; it will saveyou money (in most cases).Where to flyWe continue to see good deals to Boston and Denver and more and more nice prices to Chicago, Seattle and Washington, D.C.. As for Europe, there have been surprising deals throughout the fall and those will continue into the winter.Direct flights vs connecting flightsCompare the price of direct flights with that of connecting flights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money, and it might be enough to endure the extra long flying day.

Kevin Lloyd arrived at the scene of a car accident in West Point, Utah, north of Salt Lake City. A pregnant woman and her screaming 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the car.While his partner, Allen Hadley, was tending to the driver, Lloyd couldn't get the frightened girl to calm down. He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish, and then he had a better idea. He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails. Soon her eyes lit up. At the same time, Hadley showed up to check on the scene.Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted. Then Hadley just put his hand in there. The girl began to color his nails pink. By this time, she was not only calm, but she was also happy.The girl's mother was not injured. She thanked them for helping her daughter feel better, and they all chuckled,_looking at the nails, and took some photos.The firefighters brought the photos back to the headquarters and showed them around. The department put them up on the social media, and thousands of people responded, with many thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl.Fire Chief Mark Becraft said he had been surprised at all the attention. He said he was proud of his firefighters, and added that he had known members of the department who had done many things that weren't part of the job.After the fact, Lloyd and Hadley had a small matter to tend to: the layers of polish on their nails. They bought a bottle of nail polish remover, and used almost all of it.4.Why was the 2-year-old girl frightened?A.She was caught in an accident.B.Her mother was badly injured.C.Her nails were hurt by the bottles.D.She was afraid of seeing firefighters.5.Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “chuckled” in Paragraph 4?A.Sighed.

So she started on her very own solution, one that approached animal waste as a valuable material that could be processed into useful products.She started by separating the waste, with the dry manure used to get pure cellulose (纤维素) from the grass that cows eat. From the wet manure, she got acids used to create a natural liquid plastic which was used to make fibers that are later turned into fabric (material used for making clothes).This new material was named Mestic, from mest, the Dutch word for manure. Essaïdi claims that it has the same function as plastic from fossil fuels, but is biodegradable (可生物降解的). Better yet, the degradability can be dealt with in the lab, making it possible to create materials that last for different periods of time depending on their purposes. “This is not the first time scientists have been looking for ways to solve the manure problem, but it is the first time manure has been considered as a valuable resource,” the Dutch artist said.Last year, Jalila Essaïdi partnered the city of Eindhoven to produce a fashion show using Mestic-based fabrics. Her Mestic collection was so impressive that clothing giant H&M awarded her the Global Change Award and a $1 million prize. And cow manure is just the beginning of Jalila Essaïdi's experiments with animal waste. “After cows, we'll deal with pigs and other animals,” she said.8.Why has the author written the text?A.To suggest practical ways to deal with cattle manure.B.To advertise some clothes made by a Dutch company.C.To introduce how an artist turns cow manure into clothing material.D.To persuade people to purchase products made from manure.9.Which is the correct order of making Mestic-based clothing?A.Acids→liquid plastic→manure→fabric→fibers→clothing.B.Manure→acids→liquid plastic→fibers→fabric→clothing.C.Liquid plastic→manure→fabric→fibers→acids→clothing.D.Fibers→manure→acids→fabric→liquid plastic→clothing.10.What do we know about Mestic?A.Its smell is rather terrible.B.It is made from fossil fuels.C.Its name has a Dutch origin.D.It can only be made in the lab.11.What do Jalila Essaïdi's words in the last paragraph mean?A.Something more needs to be done about cow manure.B.She will switch to other animals waste in the future.C.What experiments to do next really puzzles her.D.The future of fashionable clothing is optimistic.阅读理解技能保分练(二)A语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与社会——研究发现——人们对流行音乐的关注会随着年龄的增长而停滞[文章大意]本文说明了青少年通过重复听相同的流行音乐来发展他们的音乐品味。

体裁演练(2017·北京卷)Hollywood's theory that machines with evil (邪恶的) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly.The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence (AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want.In 1960 a wellknown mathematician Norbert Wiener,who founded the field of cybernetics (控制论),put it this way:“If we use,to achieve our purposes,a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere (干预),we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.”A machine with a specific purpose has another quality,one that we usually associate with living things:a wish to preserve its own existence.For the machine,this quality is not inborn,nor is it something introduced by humans;it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead.So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee,it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task.If we are not careful,then,we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined,super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own,with the real world as the chessboard.The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists.Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall,using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world.Unfortunately,that plan seems unlikely to work:we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans,let alone super intelligent machines.Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but noteasy.There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines.But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand,as it has been by some AI researchers.Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans.Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility.Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen.On September 11,1933,famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated,with confidence,“Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However,on September 12,1933,physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutroninduced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.1.Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may ________.A.run out of human controlB.satisfy human's real desiresC.command armies of killer robotsD.work faster than a mathematician2.Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to ________.A.prevent themselves from being destroyedB.achieve their original goals independentlyC.do anything successfully with given ordersD.beat humans in international chess matches3.According to some researchers,we can use firewalls to ________.A.help super intelligent machines work betterB.be secure against evil human beingsC.keep machines from being harmedD.avoid robots' affecting the world4.What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?A.It will disappear with the development of AI.B.It will get worse with human interference.C.It will be solved but with difficulty.D.It will stay for a decade.【能力提升】AI read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting.But where are we doing all of this waiting,and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours?To understand theissue,let's take a look at three types of “waits”.The very purest form of waiting is the WatchedPot Wait.It is without doubt the most annoying of all.Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example.There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full.During these waits,the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the WatchedPot Wait is the Forced Wait.This one requires a bit of discipline.Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait.Directions are very specific.“Bring three cups of water to boil,add mix,simmer three minutes,remove from heat,let stand five minutes.”I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly.After all,Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the LuckyBreak Wait.This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary.Unlike the Forced Wait,which is also voluntary,waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope,and is strictly for the optimists among us.On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes,but the LuckyBreak Wait well serves those who are willing to do it.As long as one doesn't come to rely on it,wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting.The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky,don't be desperate.You're probably just as busy as the next guy.1.While doing a WatchedPot Wait,we tend to ________.A.keep ourselves busy B.get absentmindedC.grow anxious D.stay focused2.What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the WatchedPot Wait?A.The Forced Wait requires some selfcontrol.B.The Forced Wait makes people passive.C.The WatchedPot Wait needs directions.D.The WatchedPot Wait engages body and brain.3.What can we learn about the LuckyBreak Wait?A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B.It doesn't always bring the desired result.C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D.It doesn't give people faith and hope.4.What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?A.Take it seriously. B.Don't rely on others.C.Do something else. D.Don't lose heart.BI told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, “You mean fortunately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “Character cannot be developed in ease. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境). From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Some are of our making but many are no fault of our own. While we cannot choose the adversity, we can choose our attitude towards it.Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident.He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans.He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, “Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches (拐杖) or a stick, and then have a go at everything. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won.Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.5.Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?A.Going to a gym is greatly beneficial to people's health.B.Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise.C.Those who want to achieve success can't expect to live an easy life.D.People's attitude to adversity is the only factor of their success.6.By quoting what Douglas Bader said, the author intends to tell us “________”.A.Failure is the mother of success.B.A bad workman quarrels with his tools.C.If you risk nothing, you will have nothing.D.Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.7.Following this passage, the author will further talk about ________.A.how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he facedB.what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you faceC.why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversityD.what great people have in common8.Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?A.Face adversity with a smileB.Different attitudes towards adversityC.Nothing is impossibleD.Life is full of adversityCConventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation(创新) that threatens the survival of companies everywhere. It's based on the assumption that old ideas will always work, so they shouldn't be challenged. While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don't change, it's unlikely to hold true in a changing situation. In today's rapid changing global environment, old methods often don't work, and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems.Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security. If everyone else believes it, then it must be true. Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right, and being right is good. They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work. In 1977, Ken Olsen, cofounder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), stated “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.” Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry, DEC no longer exists.People seem to forget that since innovation is a change, there can be no innovation without change. Unfortunately, conventional wisdom prevents leaders, followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating. If companies don't innovate, but their competitors do, the future is likely to be problematic. Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries, so it has a powerful effect on business success.Ted Turner (founder of CNN) knew little, if anything, about the news business, but he knewit was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour, as was common before CNN. Turner's solution was to create a cable channel dedicated to news 24 hours a day. The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time, and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day. However, it_doesn't_take_a_rocket_scientist_to_understand_that_viewers_don't_have_to_watch_the_news_ all_day_for_the_CNN_to_work. Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information. Due to conventional thinking, the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted. They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future.Conventional wisdom prevents creativity, flexibility and risktaking,so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it. To survive, thrive and maintain competitive advantage, companies must be flexible when reacting to change.9.DEC has disappeared probably because ________.A.the CEO stuck to the conventional ideasB.the leaders lacked the sense of securityC.the consumers didn't like its productsD.the employees took many risks with changes10.The founding of CNN is used as an example to prove ________.A.missing opportunities could lead to failureB.conventional wisdom influences business successC.watching news at the dinner hour is convenientD.changing could contribute to business success11.What does the underlined part probably mean?A.Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly.B.It's easy to know people needn't watch the news all the timeC.It's necessary to understand when people watch the news.D.Most of the viewers don't like to watch the news at work.12.The passage is mainly written to tell us that ________.A.conventional wisdom limits innovationB.opportunities lead to business successC.old methods are changing with timeD.successful companies need wise leadersDIf you live in a big city, there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route, and it's not just overcrowded subway trains.Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she can't put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator(自动扶梯) in subway stations. “Escalatorshelp us move faster and save time. It isn't a place to rest,” the 24yearold says. “I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours. It annoys me to no end.”Admitting she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where “stand right, walk left” signs are often ignored.The logic behind the “stand right, walk left”escalator etiquette(礼仪) seems obvious. Even though you may want to catch your breath while you're transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and catch the train.Many cities' escalators, including London's and Beijing's, use the “stand right, walk left”system to speed up the flow of people. (Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.) But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. In Hong Kong's subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to “stand still”on escalators. Even so, most people in this fastpaced city observe the “stand right, walk left”etiquette.But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient. The BBC quotes one stander as saying: “If the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs? Even when the escalator is packed and there's nowhere to move, I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass.”Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others: leave enough space between each other, don't stay at the end of the escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple “excuse me” is enough.13.In the second paragraph, the underlined word “It” refers to________.A.the author's living in the big city of Hong Kong.B.being crowded on the subway trains in rush hours.C.people's blocking the way or chat on the escalators.D.people's standing on the right side resting.14.When on the escalator, a majority of local people in Hong Kong ________.A. stand still as the railway stations require.B. ignore the “stand right, walk left” signsC. use the stairs instead of escalators.D. follow the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.15.What can be inferred from the 6th paragraph?A.Not everyone follows the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.B.The BBC is against the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.C.People should be patient and take the stairs if possible.D.People shouldn't complain about the crowded escalators.16.Which of the following statements is the writer's opinion?A.People should stand right no matter where they are.B.People should do as the Romans do and consider others.C.People should do as they like on the escalators.D.People should be seriously criticized when they block the way.EThis is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate(修理) the house, a Japanese tore open the walls. Japanese houses normally have a empty space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, feeling pity and curious.

2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习闯关导练第二部分阅读理解技巧与体裁演练课时15阅读理解七选五一、题型特点阅读理解七选五主要考查对文章整体内容、结构以及上下文逻辑的理解和掌握。
七选五以考查细节理解为主。
文章以说明文和议论文居多,且结构清晰,过程完整,适合考查标题概括、主题句和过渡句等,以达到考查学生综合阅读能力的要求。
短文的特点如下:(1)选材特点:短文一般为300词左右的说明文或议论文,其中正文词数240词左右,选项词数60词左右;(2)篇章结构常为:提出问题——解决问题;(3)七个选项意义上都与短文相关,设空类型一般有标题类、段落主题句类、过渡句类、细节类;(4)选项均为完整句子,句型不一;(5)顺序通常按长度排列。
二、解题技巧1.通读全文快速浏览文章,寻找主题句,弄清文章结构及文章内容。
在阅读过程中,要注意文章的开始与结束段落,尤其是文章的首句及末句,因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式较为常见。
首段一般是全文的主题所在,说明文章将探讨的内容,并会简要指出文章的写作思路,有时甚至会以提纲的形式呈现。
掌握首句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义,如果首句是文章的主题句,就可以使读者迅速明确文章将如何展开,并对文章的写作主题有一个整体的了解。
如果首句不是主题句,则需要继续寻找。
这时,可以考虑文章的写作方式是否为“结尾总结”式,如两者均可排除,则需要在文章中的其他段落寻找主题句,但要注意首段与末段的提示作用。
2.略读段落在短时间内找出每段的关键词。
明确各段的主题句或段落大意。
文章正文部分通常分为若干段落。
各段落会围绕文章主题展开,对文章主题从不同的方面进行叙述。
找出各个段落中的关键词,明确其描述内容,为解答题目作好铺垫。
3.定位选项明确各备选项的含义,抓往其中的关键词语,根据文章结构与具体内容将选项填入文中,填写时要注意各选项中出现的衔接性标志词。
在定位选项时,要特别注意空白所在段落的上、下段的写作内容,以及空白所在段落上段的尾句和下一段的首句。
将所选选项放入空白处,看看是否与上下文构成语意及逻辑上的一致关系,是否符合该处语境,能否使文章无论在内容还是衔接上都连贯。
一篇文章作为一个整体是有其写作的线索与思路的,在定位选项时,尤其要注意,文章的写作线索,文章写作思路的连贯性使文章的每个段落、每个句子都成为文章必不可少的一部分。
如果选项放入空白处后,文章写作线索中断或是前后矛盾,应更换其他选项。
4.通读复检将所选选项代入文中,再次通读全文,重点检查逻辑关系和关联结构。
在完成选项定位后,应通读全文,检查文章内容是否完整,语意是否连贯,各段内容是否紧扣主题,语篇结构是否通顺连贯、合乎逻辑,写作思路是否清晰明了,格式以及用语是否恰当,从而判断选择的选项是否正确。
同时,我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析,个别干扰项由于与正确选项的内容相近而具有很强的干扰性,这时就需要我们认真分析,仔细甄别,排除干扰,从而得出正确选项。
5.研究多余选项,确定排除理由,最终确定答案。

The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apple's products sounds cool and has bee a fad (一时的风尚). __1__ And many other brands are following suit. The BBC's iPlayer—which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet—adopted the title in xx. A lovely bear—popular in the US and UK—that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. __2__In general, singleletter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as email and emerce first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's “i”,it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.__3__ Why not use “a”,“b”,or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King's College, London, “i” works because its meaning has bee ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, infor mation, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn't have one clear definition,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.__4__ Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”,readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have e to define the last decade.But as history shows, people grow tired of fads(时尚). From the 1900s to 1990s,products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. __5__.A.But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter “i”.B.The letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products.C.Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” .D.However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.E.Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are environmentally friendly.F.A version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.G.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.B根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
