秘籍01 阅读理解-细节理解题-备战2023年高考英语抢分秘籍(原卷版)(全国通用)

秘籍01 阅读理解-细节理解题
细节理解题相对比较简单，但在高考阅读理解中占了60%的比重。

细节理解题常分为直接信息题、间接信息题、数字计算题、细节排序题和正误判断题。

分析近三年的高考真题可知:直接信息题和间接信息题为高频考点，其他皆为低频考点。

1.直接信息题：较简单，题干关键词文中定位找答案
2.间接信息题：运用词义转换进行归纳概况
3.数字计算题：对数字分析计算
4.正误判断题：难度较大，在文章中较为分散
一直接信息题
1.查找题干关键词
2.速回原文定位关键词（不一定是原词，关注同义词、反义词等）
3.核对（原文和选项对比，注意细节）
二间接信息题
相比直接信息题，命题的隐蔽性更强，正确选项一般都会在原文基础上进行改造。

此类题目需要考生将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语义上的转换，有时还需要进一步的加工或整理。

三数字计算题
1. 仔细阅读文字说明部分，准确把握图表信息。

2. 审读题干，定位关键词。

3. 运用公式计算，经过对比、分析、计算等就能够得出正确的答案。

四正误判断题
是细节理解题中解题比较繁琐的题目，说其繁琐，因为其信息不像其他类题目那样集中在文章的某一句或某一段，而是分散在文章的各个角落。

对于这类题目，考生要静下心来，看清范围，确定方向，找到每一个选项的对应信息后，谨慎排除，综合选优。

题型涉及not given/ not mentioned/ contradicted/ correct/ incorrect/ true/false等词。

1.详细阅读并理解答题指引部分，确定答题方式。

2.深刻理解问题的含义，严格依据文章本身意思理解和推断，不能想当然。

3.找出句中的关键词语。

4.仔细查看文章中关键词语所在句子中的含义。

认真区分false和not given, false与原文相反、相冲突；not give则不相冲突，但未提及。

5.利用语法、词法判断答案所在相关句子的肯定与否定含义。

C．It can classify images automatically.
D．It can encrypt data on the original platform.
例2、Aside from being beautiful and promoting growth, the team observed that due to these lights, they
needed to use 50 percent less pesticides（杀虫剂）on the crop. This is because this specific recipe of lights activated the defense system of the plants. And as it works on all crops, not just leeks, Roosegaarde foresees a way to reduce the use of pesticides on many other plants. And his project will soon be touring 40 countries, and sending its dancing lights across the world.

例1.（2023秋·辽宁沈阳·高三校联考期末）The world has seen many inventions. While most people are proud of those associate with their names, there are things making inventors feel the other way.
The pop-up (弹出) advert, by Ethan Zuckerman
Pop-up ads are convenient for those who are interested, but most people get annoyed when they are on computers. They may contain computer viruses. Just as we would blame the inventor, the man humbly accepted his invention isn’t one of the best. In his essay, Zuckerman wrote about the most hateful thing, “I wrote the code to launch the window and run an ad in it.”
The emoticon, by Scott E. Fahlman
Emoticons began to occupy screens crazily in 2011 and gained great popularity, especially with young men. It had been four years since Fahlman first used a “smiley face” in a computer message. He created the emoti con as a joke marker. But things are different. “It has gone to places I don’t approve of,” he complained to The Wall Street Journal in 2013. “It shouldn’t have been created.”
The office cubicle (隔间), by Bob Propst
In 1968, Bob Propst came up with the idea office cubicles, something that “would build a futuristic and tidy office style with no real walls or doors and provide a more comfortable environment”. But the man has come to hate what he has invented, as Propst recalled to Fortune at age 80, “They’ve changed and just become cubicles”.
The K-Cup, by John Sylvan
It seems everyone has a Keurig coffee maker for K-Cups. John Sylvan invented the K-Cup, aimed at facilitating office life of white-collar workers. Now it’s common in houses and companies. However,the single-serve plastic coffee cups aren’t eco-friendly. “I feel bad sometimes that I ever did it”, Sylvan admits. But! Good news for Mr. Sylvan: Keuring now offers varieties of recyclable K-Cups.
1．When was the emoticon invented?
A．In 2007. B．In 2009. C．In 2011. D．In 2013.
2．Which one was created for office workers’ convenience?
A．The pop-up advert. B．The emoticon. C．The office cubicle. D．The K-Cup.
3．What do the above inventions have in common?
A．They benefit human life greatly.
B．Their creators are blamed by the public.
C．Their inventors feel regretful.
D．They are very popular with young people.
例2.（2023秋·黑龙江哈尔滨·高三哈师大附中校考期末）When you think of the Himalayas, you may picture tall, rocky, snow-covered peaks. But that’s not true.
The subnival (亚冰雪的) region is the zone between the treeline and the snowline. It is 5 to 5 times as large as the areas of glaciers and permanent snow, which means studying it is vital to understanding the Himalayas as a whole.
The treeline is the edge of an ecosystem where trees are able to grow, and beyond the treeline environmental conditions become too tough to allow tree growth. Meanwhile, snowlines are the boundaries on mountains that separate areas with permanent snow (where snow is present for the majority of the year) from areas with seasonal or no snow.
Researchers used satellite data from 1993 to 2018 to measure plant cover between 4,150 meters and 6,000
meters above sea level. The scientists discovered that the greatest increase in plant cover was between an altitude of 5,000 meters and 5,500 meters. Subnival plants mostly include small shrubs and grasses.
Even areas once completely occupied by glaciers now hold rocks covered with mosses, lichen, and sometimes even flowers. In addition, the snowline seems to be retreating, while the treeline is expanding. This shows that the region is becoming warmer, causing more melting of snow and allowing vegetation to move up in height.
In the past 40 years, 25% of all Himalayan ice has been lost due to global warming. Himalayan glaciers are reducing by about 0.5 meters each year. The rate of glacier melting has doubled in this decade. The melting of glaciers increases water in the region, making it wetter. Receding snow also forces the snowline to move up, providing a greater amount of area for the warm and moist conditions, which are perfect for vegetation growth.
As of now, we do not know whether vegetation will accelerate or slow down the rate of glacier melting. 4．How does the writer develop the third paragraph?
A．By explaining concepts. B．By providing some examples.
C．By analyzing causes and effects. D．By listing specific data.
5．What does the underlined word “retreating” mean in Paragraph 5?
A．Disappearing. B．Lengthening. C．Withdrawing. D．Widening.
6．What is the direct effect of global warming on the Himalayas?
A．The snowline moves up. B．Glaciers are melting faster.
C．The subnival area is wetter. D．Plants grow much better.
7．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The climate of the Himalayas is changing. B．Icebergs in the Himalayas have disappeared.
C．Plants are diverse in the Himalayas. D．Plant life spreads in the Himalayas.
例3.（2023·四川成都·成都外国语学校校考模拟预测）Maeve Higgins once set herself a task. The Irish-born comedian wanted to see what life would be like if she stopped laugh ing at things that weren’t funny. Turns out it wasn’t as easy as she thought. “It was so hard,” she says. “ Laughter is a lubricant (润滑油) and is expected, and it’s really hard not to do it.”
Higgins suggests there’s something particularly special about bei ng part of the shared experience that is live comedy — that curious magic that occurs when people come together specifically to laugh.
Comedy is more than just a pleasant way to pass an evening, humour more than something to amuse. They’re
interwoven into our everyday existence. Whether you’re sharing an amusing story at a party or telling a dark joke at a funeral, humour is everywhere. But what is it for? And can humour, as comedy, change how we feel, what we think or even what we do?
As an essential part of human interaction, humour has been on the minds of thinkers for centuries. One of the most enduring theories of humour was put forward by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes. It asserts that humour appears to make fun of the weak and exert superiority. While this is clearly the function of some comedy, it’s far from a complete explanation for the overall purpose of humour.
For some comedians, it’s not just about getting laughs —it’s about changing what we think and maybe even what we do. If there’s one comic who is really typical of this, it’s Josie Long. A social justice activist and a comedian, Long has a reputation for delightful, optimistic humour and storytelling.
As her career has evolved, she has consciously put social and political topics at the heart of her act. She believes that comedians have a role to play in challenging some of the most pressing issues of the day.
British comic Stephen K Amos sells out venues seating thousands, year in, year out. Amos firmly believes that when comics consciously deal with pressing or controversial （有争议的）social issues like racism, they can reach people on a much more meaningful level than that achieved by briefly lifting someone’s mood. And while it may be difficult to quantify, he says, the social and psychological impact of comedy deserves much greater recognition.
The research backs this up. Although the role of comedy is to be entertaining first and foremost, Sharon Lockyer, a sociologist who studies humour, has identified a number of possible other functions. These include challenging stereotypes (刻板印象).
Amos’s work frequently settles the issues of race by challenging stereotypes.”I don’t do things for shock value,” he says. “ I do stuff that matters to me. In the old days it was just about doing jokes. We’ve move d on —people are talking about things that matter. ”
8．What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about?
A．The benefits of laughing.
B．What a comedian’s daily work is about.
C．Why Maeve Higgins chose to be a comedian.
D．Maeve Higgins’ understanding of the appeal of comedy.
9．What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A．Protect the weak from the evil.
B．Encourage people to be stronger.
C．Be determined to improve oneself.
D．Show you are better than other people.
10．According to the article, how does comedy have an effect on social issues?
A．By gradually influencing people’s attitudes.
B．By urging politicians to try and solve the issues.
C．By quickly yet thoroughly changing people’s thinking.
D．By calling on the whole society to pay attention to the issues.
11．According to the article, comedy includes the following roles except ________ .
A．getting people to laugh
B．promoting social progress
C．influencing people’s ideas
D．making people more productive
例4.（2023·辽宁锦州·统考模拟预测）TV Shows For Teens

例5.（2023·福建福州·福建省福州第一中学校考一模）An artist in Oakland, California is using his skills to help the homeless. Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.
Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. Several are on the roadside near an active railroad. On a recent day, Mr.Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter Mr.Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr.Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.
In the mornings, Mr. Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails,screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. The device is powered by the sun.
Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own. But some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man.
Mr.Kloehn says his work is not a social project. He says he is just someone using his skills to help his homeless neighbors.

例6.（2023·天津南开·南开中学校考模拟预测）Last year, a popular restaurant released a live stream of a family dining in it, without asking their permission. After finding out what the restaurant was doing, the family showed their objection, but the restaurant ignored it and insisted that they had the right to do it. Moreover, they tried to silence the family, saying that their behavior was damaging the restaurant's image. This event has caused a
debate on the violation of privacy and portrait rights by webcasts.
It doesn't bother some people when their images are unconsciously recorded by cameras and shown through live streams on different online platforms. They may even enjoy appearing on screens and cooperate with some businesses. In that way, the restaurant can have more public exposure and thus attract more customers, which is their purpose of webcasting. However, others including the family mentioned above, are against it. The family thought that their portrait rights were violated, considering no one had asked if it was okay to use the images of them. They found intolerable that their actions captured by the camera were webcast live to millions of viewers, not to mention the fact that some of them were not so decent. Thus they demanded an apology from restaurant.
People may behave in a relaxed way when eating or resting, and they don't want others to see them in this way. Thus, from a legal perspective, if businesses webcast their customers for commercial reasons, they have violated customers portrait rights.
Webcasting someone without his or her consent amounts to a violation of portrait rights, which is getting increasingly common these days as cellphone webcasting is growing in popularity for technical convenience, However, public awareness of privacy protection is still falling behind. More should be done to make sure webcasting is developing sustainably, without violating people's legal rights.

B．Businesses webcast customers for commercial reasons and pay them.
C．Businesses webcast customers improper actions with their permission.
D．Businesses webcast customers behaving in a relaxed way without informing them.
22．What is the best title for the passage?

例7.（2023·四川·树德中学校考三模）We’ve all been there: we go to the gym for a few days, and then we give in because it’s too tiring. Even though you have great determination in the beginning, you find it difficult to make daily exercise a habit. So, how can you do it?

例8.（2023·天津·模拟预测）Let’s take a moment to consider the words of one of America’s most remarkable philosophers, Henry David Thoreau.
Thoreau spent the years 1845-1847 living on the outskirts of society in a small cabin in the woods by the side of Waldon Pond. He called this period of his life an experiment of intentional living and wrote this famous paragraph：
I went to the woods because I wished to live intentionally, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach，and not，when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow（精华）of life.
There is great wisdom in T horeau’s purpose here, and I think it’s very useful to ask ourselves this question：What would our lives be like if we sucked all the marrow out of life?
If Thoreau’s quote sounds familiar, it may be from watching the film Dead Poets Society, a movie with d eep wisdom. The film is about young men at a boarding school as they prepare to do good in the world because they have the privilege to bring about change. Their English teacher, played by Robin Williams, tries to convince them
that they should live life well now instead of believing that they will find happiness after they reach certain goals. Part of his argument is conveyed by quoting this famous passage from Thoreau.
Sucking the marrow out of life sounds simple enough, but as a matter of fact, it may be the most difficult thing that we can ever do. But it actually is as simple as it. Sounds—though “simple” is not quite the same thing as “easy”. I can think of one barrier that often keeps us from living our best lives. What keeps us from getting the most out of life is our desire for approval and fame. In the process of always looking for fame and glory, there is the danger that we will stop living. In order to seek approval from others, we fail to find a sense of approval within our own spirit.
When we become aware that we are missing so much out of life, we can decide that we want to make changes. Our best move is to start small. If we are having a meal, whether a great festival feast or a modest supper, it is always within our power to take it slowly and really feel, taste, and enjoy the food before us. Few of us can easily do like Henry David Thoreau and get away from it all in the wilderness. But we can make small changes every single day.
27．What wisdom is conveyed in Thoreau’s words?
A．Stay away from city life. B．Live one’s life to the fullest.
C．Only nature can bring happiness. D．One can never be too old to learn.
28．Why did the author mention the film Dead Poets Society?
A．To recommend a good film. B．To praise the teacher’s wisdom.
C．T o further illustrate Thoreau’s wisdom.D．To state the film was adapted from Thoreau’s works. 29．What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s seeking for approval?
A．Critical. B．Supportive. C．Sympathetic. D．Unconcerned.
30．How can people change life for the better according to the author?
A．Live in the wildness. B．Set higher goals.
C．Make small changes daily. D．Read more classics.
31．What could be the best title of the passage?
A．Ask for More：Thoreau Exposes the Meaning of Life
B．Sunk in Thought：Thoreau Outshines Ancient Philosophers
C．Aim High：Thoreau’s Practical Advice Ensures Successful Life
D．To Live Intentionally：Thoreau’s Philosophy Remains Valuable。
