2019届高考英语二轮复习必刷题型：(3)阅读理解(三)含答案解析
阅读理解（三）1、A Competitive SportCheerleadingOver th e years, cheerleading has taken two primary forms: game-time cheerleading and competitive cheerleading. Game-time cheerleaders’ main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. However, competitive cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment. It is really a competitive sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻腾运动) ability. It’s a very common thing for gymnasts, so it’s easy for them to go into competitive cheerleading. Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform lifts and throws. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and working with other teammates.Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique, creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better the score is. That’s why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders don’t use protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even the smallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the score of the entire team down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is out of reach.1.What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading?A.To compare skills of participants.B.To make the audience feel amused.C.To attract more people to watch events.D.To cheer up the competitors on the court.2.The underlined word “integrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.A.examinebineC.identifyD.replace3.We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading ______.cks necessary guidelines to followB.enjoys greater popularity than other sportsC.requires more designed actions than gymnasticsD.has a relatively high rate of damage to the body4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA.B.C.D.2、Black Friday is just a week away, an annual tradition in which holiday shoppers rush to the supermarkets and malls. Most shoppers pack stores to buy things at a discount. For some, however, shopping is less of a pastime and more of an addiction. These people have compulsive(强迫性的) shopping disorder, a condition filled with debt and regret.While it's true that many lack money and credit management skills, what these shoppers are often looking for is a “buy high”,an emotional rush to put themselves in a better mood, found San Francisco S tate University researchers in 2013. These types of shoppers often hold materialistic values. When under stress, materialistic shoppers are more likely to shop compulsively.Rather than providing any social or emotional outlet(发泄出口),the extreme stress-induced purchases only increase anxiety and lower well-being, and materialistic shoppers already tend to have lower self-esteem than others to begin with.In fact, it’s exactly at low moments that materialistic shoppers are most likely to shop for expensive items, and they're more likely to make those purchases on credit. This of course can create a vicious cycle, in which a materialistic shoppers with low self-esteem buys a luxury item he or she cannot afford in an effort to improve sense of self. The financial burden can cause stress and strain relationships over the issue of money, further affecting the mood of the shopper and leading to more spending to try to regain a sense of self-worth.Symptoms of shopping addiction include constant thoughts about shopping, buying to improve the mood and inability to change behavior.There are treatment options for those with compulsive shopping disorder, which may include medication. Other recommendations include shopping with a friend, getting rid of credit cards and above all, developing meaningful hobbies.1.What do you learn about Black Friday?A.Many shops have special offers.B.Customers can enjoy leisure time.C.Shoppers can get free products.D.Shoppers spend much money on useless things.2.According to the passage, the extreme stress-induced purchases _____.A.provide an emotional outletB.make people more anxiousC.regain people’s confidenceD.improve management skills3.When are materialistic shoppers most likely to shop for expensive items?A.When they are delighted.B.When they are excited.C.When they are inspired.D.When they are depressed.4.According to the author, which of the following is the most important treatment option?A.Taking chemical medicine.B.Shopping with a friend.C.Developing meaningful hobbies.D.Getting rid of credit cards.3、Is dark chocolate healthy? Yes,dark chocolate has compounds(化合物) that offer health benefits and can be enjoyed without guilt, even on a daily basis. But the amount matters, since too many bites can contribute to extra fat, sugar and calories and get rid of its health benefits.Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa, which contains compounds known as flavanols(黄烷醇). At high levels, cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and the risk of diabetes. Dark chocolate has the highest amount of cocoa flavanols: milk chocolate has lens, and white chocolate has none.But while cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate make it a healthful treat they give it a biter flavor. Producers may process chocolate to make it more delicious, but doing so can remove some of these beneficial compounds,said Matt Hartings, an American professor. In spite of this,dark chocolate is still a healthier choice than milk chocolate, which tends to have more sugar. Additionally, cocoa powder contains minerals. So you can enjoy a piece of dark chocolate even after a meal. Just keep the following in mind.First, buy chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa. "Generally speaking,the higher the percentage, the more flavanols. These higher-percentage chocolates have the added benefit over the lower percentages and milk and white chocolates because they contain less sugar and less fat,” Hartings said.Second, if possible, choose natural cocoa over Dutch processed cocoa, which is treated with an alkali(碱). This gives chocolate a milder flavor but removes healthful flavanols.And finally, to keep weight in check, limit to 30 grams of dark chocolate daily, or about 150 calories.1.Dark chocolate is healthy mainly because of the existence of _______.A.rich mineralsB.less sugarC.cocoa flavanolsD.fewer calories2.What does the underlined word “treat” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Something enjoyable.B.A salt-free diet.C.Food paid by others.D.A cure for an illness.3.What can we learn from the text?A.Cocoa flavanols leads to high blood pressure.B.White chocolate is good for health.C.One can feel free to eat dark chocolate.D.Alkali can affect flavanols’ content.4.Wha t’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To show his love for dark chocolate..B.To promote the sales of chocolate.C.To provide facts about dark chocolate.D.To make a distinction among chocolates.4、On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southernKenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the pawprints (爪印)of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.Each year, thousands of tourists crowdKenya’s national parks to try to have a look at the "big five”; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international d raw of these animals matters a lot because the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya’s wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地)for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas, They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.1.How did Kasaine track lions?A.By working together with tourists.B.By running after them all the time.C.By going to school every day.D.By studying their paw prints.2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Maasai people are born animal lovers.B.Tourism is a big threat toKenya’s wildlife.C.Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.D.Small animals are not included in their protection policy.3.What does the underlined word "it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Kenya’s economic development.B.Kenyan people’s traditional Maasai lifestyle.C.Kenya’s second-largest income source.D.People’s leaving their original homes.4.What is the best title for the text?A.Wildlife protection inKenyaB.Meeting a dangerous animalC.Wilson Kasaine’s wise choiceD.Learning to live with lions5、Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. " It opens your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfortable zone," Wegscheider said. She has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you when you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. "The people you meet,the places you visit,or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person, said the 30-year-old man. Richardson describes traveling alone as ua sho t in the arm”, which makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything. He said, “ The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around withmy head up because I know that nothing is impossible if I try. ”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said,Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness."1.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A.Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D.Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.2.Traveling alone is challenging because_______________.A.you have to make things on your ownB.it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersC.you can only depend on yourself whatever happensD.it will finally build your character3.What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A.He started traveling alone at an early age.B.He was once shot in the arm.C.He used to work as a salesman.D.His website inspires others a lot.4.What is the best title for the passage?A.Travel AbroadB.Travel UnaccompaniedC.Travel LightD.Travel Wide and Far6、Dream in HeartOn the first day of school our professor introduced a new classmate—a wrinkled little old lady—to us. Her name was Rose, and she was eighty-seven years old.After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a chocolate milk-shake. She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one. We became instant friends. Every day for the following months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted, listening to this “ time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went. She tended to be highly motivated,responsible, and deeply involved in class participation. In spare time she had someone hang out or go to bars with. She even participated in some form of athletic activity. She said that extra-curricular activities can form a vital part of her experience, creating unique chances for friendship and learning.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal. A little embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “ I’ m sorry I’ m so nervous.” As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, “ Wedo not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you’ re nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year, you will turn twenty. If I’ m eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year, I will turn eighty-e ight. Anybody can grow older. It’ snon-optional but that doesn’ t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. In this way the elderly don’ t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.” Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing “ The Rose” . She challenged us to study the words of the song and lived them out in daily lives.At the year’ s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week aft er graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’ s never too late to be all you can possibly be.1.Why does the author compare Rose to “ time machine” in Paragraph 2?A.To stress her old age and knowledge of life.B.To describe the close friendship between them.C.To show that she always enjoyed her active life.D.To explain why she took on a challenge in college.2.Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because ______.A.she was a great football fanB.she was the smartest studentC.she tried hard to achieve her dreamD.she became more educated than the others3.We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that ______.A.growing older means growing upB.it takes talent and ability to grow upC.receiving high education helps to be courageousD.one grows older at the same time when he grows up4.The passage is intended to ______.A.provide an example for the elderlyB.discuss how to grow up quicklyC.tell the importance of attending collegeD.inspire the readers to live up to lives7、Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously ( 匿名).But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced (增强)by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work.The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy.You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.1.Jane Austen paid two long visits to Bath________.A.in her early twentiesB.in her early teensC.in her late twentiesD.in her late teens2.What can we learn about Bath from the passage?A.Bath has greatly changed since Jane Austen's death.B.The city has changed as much as Jane Austen knew it.C.Bath remains almost the same as in Jane Austen's time.D.No changes have taken place in Bath since Jane Austen's time.3.The author writes this passage in order to________.A.attract readers to visit the city of BathB.ask readers to buy Austen's booksC.tell readers about Jane Austen's experienceD.give a brief introduction to the Jane Austen Society4.It takes you about one and a half hours________.A.to get to the Jane Austen Centre in Gay StreetB.to buy Jane Austen related books, cards and giftsC.to find a guide to take you to the CentreD.to look around the city of Bath on foot8、Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers he collected. But soon the shoes will be sent to poor children in the United States and 20 other countries,thanks to Woodburn's Share Our Soles (S.O.S.) charity.A high school track star in the town of Ventura, California,Woodburn was treated in hospital for months with knee and hip injuries.“I started thinking about the health benefits, the friendship and the confidence I got from running,” he says,“And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes."Woodburn gathered up his old sneakers, then asked his friends to donate. His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas that year.When he collected more than 500 pairs, he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round endeavor.Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes at the YMCA and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools, a city gym and a recreation centre. He has started accepting adult sizes and sandals. So far, S. O. S has collected and donated more than 3,000 pairs.Woodburn has cleaned all the shoes. After sorting the shoes by size, Woodburn selects the good shoes for the washing machine and the worn-out ones for recycling.To ship the footwear,Woodburn teamed with Sports Gift, a nonprofit organization that provides soccer and baseball equipment to children around the world. Keven Baxter, founder and president, says, “We’d send kids balls and shoes. I've heard that for many of these kids,these old sneakers are the only shoes they had. They wear them to school and to do sports.So Greg's running shoes were a nice addition for us.”For many recipients, the shoes represent opportunity. Two young hoys in Southern California attended school on alternate days because they shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small for the other.Thanks to S. O. S., each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boys now attend school daily and enjoy their learning. When they graduate, they say, they will help a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them.1.What caused Greg Woodburn to donate old shoes for poor children?A.The benefits from playing sports.B.News about some poor children.C.His memory of school life.D.The medical treatment he received.2.When collecting more sneakers than expected, Woodburn decided to _________.A.include adult sizes and sandalsB.set up branches in different citiesC.collect shoes throughout the yearD.expand his endeavor in the whole city3.How did Woodburn manage to deliver the shoes collected?A.By sending them by mail.B.By working with Sports Gift.C.By advertising for those in need.D.By offering them from door to door.4.What can we learn from Keven Baxter’s remarks?A.Sports Gift is popular around the world.B.Many children need Greg’s old sneakers.C.Greg's running shoes are the best gifts for children.D.International organizations should provide more help.答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.A; 2.B; 3.D; 4.C解析：1.细节理解题。

2021年高考语文阅读理解考点三含答案2021届高考语文阅读理解第三，分析小说中的环境，欣赏环境描写的技巧和功能文本展示阅读以下课文并完成问题。
（20分）峡谷阿城这座山被劈成了直线，所以有七八英里的山谷。
这把刀有点弯。
因此，山谷的中心是如此之高。
离峡谷越近，水位就越低。
森森冷气漫出峡口，收掉一身黏汗。
峡口处，倒一棵大树，连根拔起，似谷里出了什么不测之事，把大树唬得跑，一跤仰翻在那里。
峡顶一线蓝天，深得令人不敢久看。
一只鹰在空中移来移去。
悬崖上的植被长得不太好，石头像生铁一样生锈了。
一块巨石和一百块巨石昏倒在峡谷壁的根部，一动不动。
巨石上躺着两只四足动物。
它们不会眨眼。
他们只是偶尔吐出舌尖，与石头竞争。
因有人在峡中走，壁上时时落下些许小石，声音左右荡着升上去。
那鹰却忽地不见去向。
在上楼的路上，有三五户人家。
路附近有一座石头房子。
门是开着的，但看起来像个卧铺。
门上静静地挂着一面布旗。
靠近其他地方，有松散的石板铺路。
中午的阳光慢慢挤进峡谷，阴气浮开，地气熏上来，石板有些颤。
似乎有了噪音，细听却什么也不响。
忍不住干咳一两声，总是自讨没趣。
一世界都静着，不要谁来多舌。
走近时，我才认出布面上有一个藏文。
布料的颜色已经褪色，人物的颜色也不远了。
它沉重地挂着国旗。
忽然峡谷中有一点异响，却不辨来源。
往身后寻去，只见来路的峡口有一匹马负一条汉，直腿走来。
那马腿移得极密，蹄子踏在土路上，闷闷响成一团，骑一手侧着身，并不上下颠。
越来越近，马一上坡就放慢了速度。
随着轻轻的一声，骑手立即踏上石板，马蹄声听起来像珠子。
马一耸耸肩，向上走去，骑手就坐下来跟着它走。
马蹄声在峡谷中旋转，又高又响。
老鹰又出现了，慢慢地四处走动。
骑手走过眼前，结结实实一脸黑肉，直鼻紧嘴，细眼高颧，眉睫似漆。
皮袍裹在身上，胸微敞，露出油灰布衣。
手隐在袖中，并不拽缰。
藏靴上一层细土，脚尖直翘着。
眼睛遇着了，脸一短，肉横着默默一笑，随即复原，似乎咔嚓一响。

高考英语阅读理解专题训练AThe Gunpowder Plot was a conspiracy(阴谋) to kill King James Ⅰ，as well as the members of the House of Lords and Commons at the re-opening of Parliament.It was designed by a group of Catholics in protest against the anti-Catholic laws that were being introduced by the king.Robert Catesby was the leader of the group.It was he and his cousin，Thomas Wintour，and two other friends，Thomas Percy and John Wright，who formed the center of the group.They were joined by nine more men；among them was Guy Fawkes，from the city of York in the north of England.Fawkes found a store room directly under the House of Lords and rented it out under the false name of John Johnson.The conspirators stored thirty-six barrels of gunpowder there，and Fawkes，who was an explosives expert，was to light the fuses(引信) on 5th November 1605.The plot failed because one of the conspirators，Francis Tresham，sent a letter to his relative，who was a member of the House of Lords.The letter warned him not to attend the opening ceremony of Parliament.The letter was passed on to the authorities，who took action.Guy Fawkes was found in the cellar on the night of 4th November with the thirty-six barrels and a number of fuses.He was imprisoned and ill-treated，eventually giving away the names of the conspirators.Soldiers of the king surrounded Holbeach House，in the Midlands，where they knew the conspirators to be hiding.In the fight that followed，four of them were shot dead，including Catesby and Percy，who were actually killed by the same bullet.The others were imprisoned and hanged along with Guy Fawkes on 31st January 1606.These days，on 5th November，children all over Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes Night by building huge bonfires and lighting fireworks.It’s a family tradition and an occasion to eat potatoes baked by the flames.There is always a “guy”on top of the fire，a model of Guy Fawkes，dressed in the clothes of the 17th century.1．Francis Tresham wrote the letter to his relative to .A．warn him of the danger of being killedB．reveal the names of the conspiratorsC．protect the House of LordsD．report the plot to the authorities答案 A解析细节理解题。

2017高考英语一轮阅读理解练习（三）阅读理解。
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn pr oduced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns. Two thirds of customers say that environmental consideration s inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a yea r ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even b etter aware of the environmental effect on what they buy. This may help to influence how shops store goods on their sh elves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible compani es, with about one in seven saying that they had even decide d to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s envir onmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive（主管）of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important no w. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an i mmediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducin g their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require bu sinesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissi ons（排放）.

After graduating from high school at 16, Lieber landed a job as an assistant at Timely Comics. By the early 1940s, he was a temporary editor for the company. It was at this time that he began using his pen name--Stan Lee. In 1947, two years after returning from serving for the U.S. Army, Lee married his wife, Joan. The two began their 70-year marriage and had two children.In the late 1950s, DC Comics breathed new life into its classic superhero and experienced a significant success with its updated version of the Flash, and later with super-team the Justice League(正义联盟) of America.To compete against DC Comics, Lee was given the task of creating their own group of superheroes. In 1961, Timely Comics changed its name into Marvel Comics after Atlas Comics, and that November saw the debut(首次亮相) of the Fantastic Four. Lee’s later famous and lasting creations of comic-book superheroes included Spider-Man, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man and the X-men.Over the course of his career, Lee was an icon of Marvel Comics. As a writer and editor and, at various points, both the publisher and vice president of Marvel Comics, Lee not only introduced interesting characters to the industry, but changed the way that comic books came together. He also created a cooperative workflow between writers and artists, which became known as the “Marvel Method”. Lee received a National Medal of Arts in 2008 for his innovations that revolutionized (=completely changed) American comic books.1.What do we know about Lee from paragraph 2?A. He served for the U.S. Army for two years.B. He suffered from an unfortunate marriage.C. He had a tough and struggling childhood.D. He adopted his pen name at the age of 16.2.What was the company called when Spider-Man was created?A. Timely Comics.B. Marvel Comics.C. Atlas Comics.D. DC Comics.3.What does the underlined word “icon” mean in the last paragraph?A. Theme.B. Character.C. Assistant.D. Symbol.4.What can be the best title for the text?A. Stan Lee, the Godfather of Marvel Comics.B. The Development of Marvel Comics.C. Stan Lee, a Superhero in Comic Books.D. The Popular Superheroes of Marvel Comics.答案：1.C; 2.B; 3.D; 4.A解析：1.C推理判断题。
高三英语阅读理解专题三议论文带答案
高三英语阅读理解专题三------议论文1 文体特点：写法一：正方（甲方），反方（乙方），我认为……写法二：提出问题，分析问题，解决问题写法三：论点，理由（证据），重申论点。
这是高考中常考的体裁，内容涵盖文化、历史、文学、科学和教育等各个方面。
在这类体裁的文章中把握好论点、论据和论证很重要。
此类体裁的文章中有关主旨大意和推理判断的题目会较多，这也是得分比较难的题型。
在阅读这类文章的时候，我们要认真把握作者的态度，领悟弦外之音，从而更好地依据文章的事实做出合理的推断。
解题方法：1.把握文章的论点、论据和论证。
此外，还要把握文章的结构和语言。
2. 互推法：在议论之后，总会再列举一些具体的例子来支持观点；或在一些例子之后，总要抒发一些议论。
考生在理解议论时，可以借助文中所给的实例，从而在形象的例子中推理出抽象的议论；或从议论中推理理解具体例子的深刻含义，相互推断。
3. 推理法：推理的结论一定是原文有这层意思，但没有明确表达的。
推理要根据文章的字面意思，通过语篇、段落和句子之间的逻辑关系，各个信息所暗示和隐含的意义，作者的隐含意等对文章进行推理判断。
考生要由文字的表层信息挖掘出文章的深层含义，要能透过现象看本质。
主旨大意题解题方法：一、题型解读和思维导向：主旨大意题是高考阅读理解中常考的题型之一，主要考查考生把握全文主题和理解中心思想的能力。
通常以概括文章或段落大意以和选择标题等形式出现。
主旨大意题是阅读理解题中的高难度题，能够拉开考生的分数差距，所以此类题目在高考试题中具有很好的选拔作用，属于能力型题目。
主旨大意题一般分为三类，即标题归纳类、文章大意类和段落大意类。
二、命题区间和读文关注点1．文首、段首、段尾句：一般来说，阅读文章中第一段首句往往是强开弱收型文章中心思想的表达处；第二段首句或第一段尾句往往是转开弱收型文章的主题句所在；而有时每段的段首句、段尾句是该段的段落主题句。
因此，解答主旨大意题时要对这些地方多加关注。

【例题】（2020·山东卷）According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions (份), it’s the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly (表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we’re making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she's having” effect. However, we’ll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I’ll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I’ll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?1. What is the recent study mainly about?A. Food safety.B. Movie viewership.C. Consumer demand.D. Eating behavior.2. What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Big eaters.B. Overweight persons.C. Picky eaters.优选例题 阅读理解（说明文）大题优练3D. Tall thin persons.3. Why did the researchers hire the actor?A. To see how she would affect the participants.B. To test if the participants could recognize her.C. To find out what she would do in the two tests.D. To study why she could keep her weight down.4. On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph?A. How hungry we are.B. How slim we want to be.C. How we perceive others.D.

【2016高考训练】The women’s college had a very small car park, and because several of the teachers and students, and many of the students’ boyfriends, had cars, it was often difficult to find a place to park. The head of the college, Miss Baker, had a special place in the car park for her own small car. There were white lines around it, and it had a small blackboard saying, “Reserved for Head of College.”One evening when Miss Baker got back to the college a few minutes before the time when all the students should be in, she found another car in her parking place. There were two persons in it, one of her girl students and a young man. Miss Baker knew that the young man would have to leave very soon, so she decided to ask him to move his car a bit, so that she could park hers in the proper place for the night before going to bed.As the young man’s car was close to the railing (栅栏), Miss Baker had to drive up beside it on the other side, where the girl was sitting. She came up on this side, opened her own window and tapped her horn (喇叭) lightly to draw attention to the fact that she was there. The girl, who had her head on the boy’s shoulder, looked round in surprise. She was even more surprised when she heard Miss Baker say, “Excuse me, but may I change places with you?”1.

2023届高考英语阅读理解专练(3)故事类
（3）故事类一、I would mention a journey I made through France the summer after I graduated from college. I had just finished a seasonal job in Paris and was slowly making my way to Greece, where I was to live and teach for a year at Athens College. A business associate of my father's in Pontarlier, an industrial town near France's border with Switzerland, said that he was driving to join his family on the Mediterranean and would be happy to give me a lift.I joined him in Pontarlier, and we climbed into his luxury Peugeot and set south for Marseille. This man—Mr. D., I'll call him—was wealthy and fancied himself a connoisseur (鉴赏家) of great French food and wine. Like many Frenchmen, he also fancied himself something of a philosopher, and what could be better for a philosopher than a young, attentive, and captive listener?So he idled(使闲着) us south, stretching what today could be a 10-hour highway drive into a multiple-day moveable feast by taking the most scenic and snail's-paced-country lanes, stopping at great restaurants whenever the mood struck him, which was often, and discoursing(讲述) lovingly and at length on everything from language to politics to women.How could I complain? I was getting a ride to the Cote d'Azur—which danced all blue-green sea and sun-bright sand in my mind—in the air-conditioned comfort of an elegant Peugeot, and receiving a first-class education in French cuisine, and all for free!I recall that journey now as a range of images—long, straight, tree-bordered roads and Van Gogh fields, Renoir afternoons of dappled(斑驳的) sunlight and shade, rocky restaurant balconies bordered with bright flowers, laughter and the clink of glasses and the music of French filling the air. I remember drinking a great deal of what seemed to my uneducated nose and mouth to be extraordinarily flavourful red wine. Eventually we reached Marseille and parted company—both of us, I think, happy for the journey and for its end. In the following years, when summer arrives, I think of road trips.1.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic of road trips.B.To stress the author's preference for summer road trips.C.To offer some basic information of a road trip.D.To show the author's purpose of a special road trip.2.What can we know about Mr. D.?A.He has a great talent for doing business.B.He considers himself an expert in a certain field.C.He is rather wealthy and a good listener.D.He is a philosopher fond of educating people.3.How did the author feel about the trip?A.Impressive and eye-opening.B. Unforgettable but short.C.Instructive and classic.D.Inspiring but tiring.4.What does the author mean in the last sentence?A.He missed Mr. D. very much.B.He can't help associating road trips with summer.C.He made road trips with his family every summer.D.He planned road trips with Mr. D. in the following summers.二、I remember going to the British Museum one day to read up the treatment for some slight illness—hay fever, I thought it was. I got down the book, and read all I came to read; and then, I began to casually study diseases generally. Turning over the pages, I came to typhoid fever, read the symptoms and discovered that I had it. I was wondering what else I had got, and St. Vitus's Dance turned up, which I thought I also had. So I determined to go through it thoroughly and so started alphabetically(照字母顺序排列的): ague I had, just in the acute stage. Cholera I had, with severe complications; and diphtheria I seemed to have been born with.I sat and considered. What an interesting case I must be from a medical point of view! What a learning material I should be to a medical class! Students would have no need to “walk the hospitals”, if they had me. I was a hospital in myself. All they need do would be to walk around me, and, after that, take their diploma!I went to my doctor, who is an old friend of mine. I thought I would do him a good turn by going to him now. “What a doctor wants”, I said, “is practice. He will get more practice out of me than out of 1,700 of his ordinary, commonplace patients, with only one or two diseases each.” He said: “Well, what's the matter with you?” I said, “Iwill not take up your time, with telling you what is the matter with me. But I will tell you what is not the matter with me. I have not got a housemaid's knee(髌前囊炎). Everything else, however, I have g ot.” And I told him how I came to discover it all. He felt my pulse, looked at my tongue, and talked about the weather as usual, all for nothing. Then he wrote out a prescription, folded it up and gave it to me, and I put it in my pocket and went out. I did not open it. I took it to the nearest chemist's and handed it in. The man read it and then handed it back. I read the prescription. It ran: "beefsteak, every 6 hours.ten-mile walk every morning.bed at 11 sharp every night.And don't stuff up your head with things you don't understand."5.Why did the author go to the British Museum the other day?A. To see a doctor.B. To study medicine.C. To go to an exhibition.D. To seek for a treatment.6.How did the author find himself affec ted with various “illnesses”?A. Through a routine check-up.B. By reading the medical book.C. By consulting with experts.D. Through self-imagination.7.What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. The writer was put in charge of a hospital.B. The writer could treat his diseases on his own.C. The writer was refusing professional medical training.D. The writer considered himself valuable to medical study.8.Which of the following can be the main idea of the text?A. It's never too late to learn.B. A disease known is half cured.C. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.D. Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.三、In 2022, Linda Brown, a Missouri realtor(房地产经纪人), was awarded the Good Neighbor Award. This honor is given by The National Association of Realtors(NAR) in the US. Working alongside her husband Dr. David Brown, she has been transforming abandoned mobile homes into villages of tiny homes that offer permanent housing to homeless people. Together, and with the help of numerous localvolunteers, they have developed Eden Village, a unique hub of tiny homes.Mrs. Brown told Goodnet, "My motivation is a dream that Missouri will be a city where no one sleeps outside and the joy is seeing the life change in our friends whom society has given up on."The wish to help homeless people, and restore their dignity and self-worth, as Mrs. Brown explained, had been a joint mission for some years. The couple ran a local evening drop-in center for local homeless people called Gardening Tree, for almost a decade. This functioned as a shelter where people experiencing homelessness could grab a bite, shower, do laundry and relax.But they wanted to do more than what Dr. Brown called a "band-aid". This desire stems from their philosophy that the homeless can get a new life once they have a roof over their heads. With the help of local organizations, the husband and wife team succeeded in raising almost $5 million, which enabled them to transform unused mobile homes and a ruined trailer park into a small village of tiny homes that opened in 2018. They named this place Eden Village, reflecting the sanctuary(庇护) it offers its residents.As Mrs. Brown said in her award acceptance speech about her journey to creating Eden Village, helping homeless people is something personal. "I watched as my homeless friends walked off into the darkness to a hidden, wet, cold camp while we went home to a warm bed. I had to do something," she said.9.What won Mrs. Brown the Good Neighbor Award?A. Working as a volunteer.B. Helping her neighbors.C. Providing housing for the homeless.D. Operating a drop-in center for the poor.10.Why did Dr. Brown call Gardening Tree a "band-aid"?A.It was used only in case of emergency.B. It didn't function as a lasting home.C. It covered only a very small area.D. It failed to provide food for people.11.How does Mrs. Brown sound in the last paragraph?A. Delighted.B.Confident.C.Sorrowful.D. Embarrassed.12.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Missouri Couple Takes Care of Gardening TreeB. NAR Honors 2022 Good Neighbor Award WinnersC. V olunteers Help Build Eden Village for the HomelessD. Eden Village Founder Wins 2022 Good Neighbor Award四、Gutiérrez's life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He used to take home between 50 and 60 books every morning. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families. Colombia's capital city of Bogota has 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet.Gutiérrez's community library is a true representation of how one man's garbage can be another's treasure.Gutiérrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutiérrez.Today, his makeshift community library, called "The Strength of Words", occupies most of his home in southern Bogota, and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20.000 books! As word began to spread about his amazing project, people began sending him thousands more books to grow his library.Despite having done so much for his community, Gutiérrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through garbage cans for reading materials. Today, the Gutiérrez family does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading.Gutiérrez's journey to give back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us. How might we take a leaf out of Gutiérrez's books and impact the less fortunate around us?13.What inspired Gutiérrez to rescue unwanted books?A. The abandoned Anna Karenina.B. Leo Tolstoy's life.C. Children's living conditions.D. A community-library.14.Why did Gutiérrez start "The Strength of Words"?A. To create a harmonious neighborhood.B. To give his mother sufficient books.C. To facilitate children's reading.D. To improve the community life.15.What can best describe Gutiérrez?A. Devoted and talented.B. Intelligent and generous.C. Passionate and well-educated.D. Creative and caring.16.What would be the best title for the text?A. Desire for readingB. From garbage to treasureC. Gutiérrez's kindnessD. An amazing model of education五、When Emanuel received an email from Professor Richard English at Queen's University, who encouraged him to apply for a PhD in Politics in Belfast, it was a pinch-me moment Emanuel never thought would be possible. After all, just a few short years ago, he was living on the streets, couch-surfing at friends' houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet. Now, one of the world's leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen's University over 4,000 miles away.Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him, so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life. What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.Through his high school and community college years, he moved from house to house, living with friends at times and living on the streets at others.Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life, Emanuel involved himself in school—doing everything he could to earn extra tuition(学费) money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn't get a regular student loan.Fortunately, the government backed him, having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree and went on to do his Masters.Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different."I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly, not thinking he would reply and to my surprise, he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen's. When I was told I was successful, my whole world changed."17.What does the underlined word "pinch-me" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Imaginary.B. Anticipated.C. Unbelievable.D.Embarrassing.18.What happened to Emanuel in his childhood?A.His father passed away early.B. He received great parental care.C. He was once adopted by his relátives.D. He lived with his friends now and then.19.Which of the following can best describe Emanuel?A.Tough and strong-willed.B. Determined and talented.C.Enthusiastic and generous.D. Hardworking and attractive.20.What is the main idea the author wants to convey to us?A. Well begun is half done.B. Never judge by appearances.C.Many hands make light work.D. You are the architect of your own life. 六、Paul O’Sullivan walked around his apartment in the US city of Baltimore one evening in 2014, feeling bored. Just for fun, he decided to try to find out how many other people on Facebook shared his name. Moments later, dozensof Paul O'Sullivans filled his screen and he sent friend requests to them all.As Baltimore Paul looked through the profiles of the Paul O'Sullivans who accepted his invitation, hénoticed something four of them had in common: They were all musicians. Baltimore Paul had an idea. He asked the other three musical Pauls if they'd like to form a band called The Paul O'Sullivans. They all agreed.Fortunatelv, Manchester Paul,a 59-year-old former professional musician knew how to fix that. They would create a kind of musical assembly line including online sessions.The Band released its first original song, “Namesake,”in March 2016. But just months after the song's release, Baltimore Paul began experiencing health issues that forced him to take time off from making music. The other Pauls also decided to take a break from the band. But they didn't press pause on their friendship. Instead, they made sure Baltimore Paul never felt alone, even with the long distances between them. They shared family pictures and chatted online.Finally, after a four-year break, Baltimore Paul was well enough to start making music again. The first thing the band did was create a music video for “Namesake,” which has now been watched on YouTube more than 50,000 times.“It has been a lovely journey that has lasted seven years so far. A four-stop international tour—one concert in each of our hometowns —would be great,” says Baltimore Paul.“What are the odds,” he says, that a random Facebook request would lead not only to new music but to lasting friendships as well? “Some things are just meant to be.”21.What inspired Baltimore Paul to form a band?A. His enthusiasm for music.B. His dream of having an international tour.C. Four Paul O’Sullivans all being musicians.D. Friendship among the four Paul O’Sullivans.22.What does the underlined word “nettlesome” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Easy.B. Disappointing.C. Troublesome.D. Interesting.23.What can be learned from Paragraph 4?A. It never rains but it pours.B. It's never too late to mend.C. One is never too old to learn.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.24.What's the purpose of the text?A. To teach how to start a band.B. To introduce a band united by a name.C. To show how to make friends online.D. To introduce a popular online service. 七、My mother suffered COPD and heart failure, which made her have great difficulty breathing or catching her breath. For the last 5 years of her life, my most common memory was of her leaned over an outdoor trash can, trying to get enough air.I was away getting my Master's in Theatre Arts when she passed away. My mind was unhinged(精神错乱的). They pulled me off my desk and took me to the local mental health facility. I was just at tech week for the show Fefu and Her Friends. My officemate and fellow director Sarah Jane Hardy took over the production and saw it safely through.But this is just the beginning of the kindness that surrounded me. She sat with me in my apartment when I returned and let me fall apart in a safe space. My dad traveledwith me from Phoenix to Utah to see the final performance. My department chair allowed me to fold over my thesis(论文) and turn it into an MA researched thesis so I could return home at the end of the year having graduated. My roommates helped motivate me to go to classes.This was one of the hardest chapters in my life and so many people came to help me to heal. I think before this time I would have prized intelligence or education as the highest trait(特点) in a person, but afterwards, I’ve felt that kindness defines people most. The world would be a cold place if we did not have friends who showed it openly in our times of need.25.What was the author's common memory of her mother in her last years?A.

I had read the e-mail three times before I actually believed it.Grasped in my hand was the form giving permission to print my story. No faxing for me—I decided to send it back through the mail just to be sure it reached its destination. Filled with excitement, I told the clerk about my good news. "Wow, look at you go!" she said. "That will be ten dollars." I reached for my credit card. "Our system doesn't work today, so we can only accept cash," said the clerk. I searched through my purse. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I carried cash. But now, I rarely did. Then a deep voice behind me said, I'll take care of it." I hadn't noticed the manbehind me. I turned to meet him as he held out a ten-dollar bill."Congratulations on your story," he said. "Just pay it forward." I thanked him. Then I drove to the seaside restaurant to meet Tina. As we walked back toward our cars, I noticed something on the sidewalk, shining in the sun. I picked up a credit card."How are we going to find the person who dropped this?" Tina asked. "First, let's try to spot someone who seems to be searching anxiously," I said. A moment later, Tina said excitedly, "I'll bet that's her!" A young mother had a baby on her back as she dug through some bags.I approached the woman. "Are you Jessica Slate?" I asked.Her eyes grew round. "Yes!""I believe this is yours," I said, handing her the card."Thank you! During normal times, I'd give you a hug," she said. We laughed and bumped elbows instead.I realized being on both the receiving and the giving end of kind gestures felt equally good.

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect.But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled－to $1.01 per pack－smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates.They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years，finding that smokers，especially teens，are price sensitive.Nor is it a shock to the industry，which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message.Tobacco taxes improve public health，they raise money and most particularly，they deter people from taking up the habit as teens，which is when nearly all smokers are addicted.Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan，for instance，which has the highest tax in the nation，a pack of Marlboro Light Kings，cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday.In Charleston，S.C.，where the 7 cent a pack tax is the lowest in the nation，the price was $4.78.The influence is obvious.In New York，high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys－13.8%，far below the national average.By comparison,26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky.Other low tax states have similarly depressing teen smoking records.Hal Rogers，Representative from Kentucky，like those who are against high tobacco taxes，argues that the burden of the tax falls onlow income Americans “who choose to smoke.”That's true.But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low income workers from getting hooked in the first place.As for today's adults，if the new tax drives them to quit，they will have more to spend on their families，cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.【语篇解读】烟草税增加后，取得了立竿见影的效果——许多烟民纷纷戒烟。

The number of messages sent this year on the chat app was double that of last year, showing that more people are __48___ to the app instead of sending cards or SMS-es.Chinese New Year is a time steeped in tradition, and the fact that Weixin has managed to make its ___49___ so strongly welcomed by users speaks volumes about its ability to straddle the space between old and new.As WeChat moves into verticals such as m-commerce, it wouldn’t be any surprise if the app soon disrupts other traditions next year. Who knows, we may just get to see Chinese New Year grocery shopping or delivery, or the booking of transportation back to people’s hometowns, __50___ entirely via WeChat in the future.tourism, it may be in five or fifty years.Space Adventures is taking reservations for the flights, __41H__ to the first manned spaceflights. The trip will cost S 90,000, with, a $ 6.000 __42_G_ required. More than 200 people have made reservations, said Sarah, Dalton, the company spokeswoman.John Spencer of the Space Tourism Society says that a more realistic __43_K_ for regular space travel is 50 years. Issues of expense, difficulty, and danger must still be resolved. Oh yes – a reusable vehicle must also be invented. He adds, however, that ten years from now, a _H_44_D number of people may be able to visit a space station. He says he expects a fleet of private space vehicles or “space yachts” to be in __45_B_ in 20 to 25 years. They will do what he calls “orbital super yachting.” After that, there will be cruise lines, like those that travel the Earth’s oceans, as well as space hotels and resorts.There have been only a few studies to determine the public’s interest in space tourism, but they all conclude that a __46_E_ of people would like to visit space and would be willing to pay good money for it.According to expert Patrick Collins, between 5 million and 20 million people will head for space by 2030. He also __47_A_ 100 flights a day leaving Earth. It would be __48_J_ to have more than 100 hotels in Earth’s orbit, a few more orbiting the moon, and a few on the moon's surface. These hotels would __49_C_ more than 100,000 people, who would work month-long shifts. Each hotel would have a service station. Such service stations would provide oxygen, water, and hydrogen. They might also ship __50_F_ safe electric power back to Earth.If all the issues can be resolved, Collins says that space tourism could one day become a $1 trillion.Do you often feel tired in the morning even though you’ve been in bed for seven or eight hours the night before? Like many people, you are not sleeping as much as you think you are. 1 , your sleep efficiency is not that good.Sleep experts 2 “sleep efficiency” as the percentag e of time lying down that you are actually sleeping.According to explanatory journalism website , the science of sleep efficiency is still young.

This is, without doubt, the worst economic crisis facing this country since the end of World War II.In the 1980s, real estate prices soared to super levels and investors sank their money into the booming stock market. Everything was rising and the government, financial institutions, and individuals paid little attention to the warning signs of imminent crash. Then the bubble burst, and land and stock prices dropped sharply.The result of the crash? Many companies sank into a struggling situation due to poor sales and bad debt, and have closed their doors. The domino effect on many financial institutions is that there must bear an enormous number of unrecoverable loads, which have resulted when companies, depending on profits from land investments to repay loans, have found themselves bankrupt. Furthermore, many individual depositors, fearing a collapse of more banks and securities companies, have withdrawn their money in flocks.Attempts by government to promote the contracting economy have proven fruitless. Measures including tax cuts and public works spending have done little to put the economy on track again. What’s more, the government’s decision to increase the consumption tax from 3 to 5 percent in 1997 has had a harmful impact on consumer spending. As for business sector, companies have tried various measures to improve management, but other ill effects of such policies, including rising unemployment among older works, have appeared and have dealt a huge blow to the recovery process.What will end the tide of further economic collapse? For one, Japan must stabilize its financial system and take immediate and effective measures to deal with non-performing loans. A more vital solution might be to carry out a permanent tax cut to stimulate consumers’ spending and confidence in the government’s handing of the situation. Ultimately, this will encourage domestic demand for goods and services and will be the driving force behind such of the recovery.81.What happened during the bubble year of Japan’s economy?AA. Financial institutions invested heavily in land.B. The value of the Japanese yen rose sharply.C. Land and stock prices plunged.D. Many individual depositors withdrew money from banks.82.The underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2 has the closest meaning to “___D___”.A. destructiveB. dangerousC. harmfulD. approaching83.What is the one measure the government has taken to recover the economy?CA. Streamlining management.B. Spending on the country’s public facilitiesC. Increasing the consumption tax.D. Controlling the unemployment rate.84.According to the speaker, what will have the most impact on the recovery at this point?BA. Encouraging domestic demand for goods and service.B. Stabilizing its financial system.C. Dealing with non-performing loans.D. Implementing a permanent tax cut.六、六选四&翻译：01.Yuan went to the test field in Liuyang in person to instruct the farmers to optimize and plant the seeds in 2016.Yuan Longping, known as the father of hybrid rice in China also a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has made a new breakthrough—— his team has succeeded in removing the heavy metal “cadmium(镉)” from rice.“We’ve achieved a breakthrough in rice breeding technology. We can now strip (除去) parents (母株) of cadmium-containing and cadmium-attracting genes.___67___. Sample crops have showed that the cadmium level in samples is at 0.06 mg/kg on average, much lower than the national standard of 0.2mg/kg,”said Yuan at the National Exhibition of New Rice Varieties and Technologies in September, 2017.The reason why Yuan Longping is determined to develop cadmium-free rice is that the problem of cadmium-polluted rice is quite serious in China. ___68___. In 2013, rice produced in Hunan province was reported to contain excessive levels of cadmium which is believed to be the very chemical that leads to kidney failure or bone cancer. ___69___.“As our standard of living improves, we need to place emphasis on the quality, rather than just on the quantity, of rice, as opposed to the past century when the focus was merely on quantity to meet basic food demands,” said Yuan.To solve the cadmium problem in rice, his research team and he himself persevered in doing experiments and tests repeatedly regardless of how tiring the field work was. ___70___.Yuan’s new achievement in cadmium removal will most likely help reverse the domestic problem of crops containing heavy metals.

热点01 2阅读理解(新闻报道) 专练(新高考专用)(学生版)
热点01-2阅读理解(新闻报道)-2023年高考英语专练(新高考专用)2022年新高考阅读理解C篇涉及到了新闻体裁。
高考新闻类阅读理解文章的选材、题源、题材范围极为广泛。
选材方面有国际与国内新闻；题源方面：官方用语为英语国家和国内的主流媒体，如报纸、杂志、网站等已经成为新高考高考阅读理解命题文章的主要题源；题材方面则涉及文化、经济、环保、科技、教育、社会、生活等多个领域。
新闻的种类很多，因此写法也多样化：有以说明居多的说明文，有以记叙为主的记叙文等。
由此，我们可以预测2023年新高考高尚若要考新闻体裁阅读理解题的话，应该不外乎以下两种情况：以说明或是记叙文体的形式提供文本。
1.要素：以记叙为主的新闻的六个要素(时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、经过、结果)。
以说明居多的新闻的三个部分(说明的对象、说明的过程和归纳总结)。
2.结构：标题、导语、主体、背景、结语(背景和结语有时则蕴涵在主体里面，有时省略不说)。
为了增加难度或就是要考的考点，高考阅读理解命题时往往把新闻标题删除。
导语一般是文章的第一段、最多前三段，往往会用简明、生动的话语将新闻最具价值的、最新鲜的内容或事实、或者典型的例子放在开头，以引出整个文章的主题。
接下来的主体部分会围绕文章主题展开，进一步解释和深化导语，此部分内容以记叙和说明为主。
最后的结语部分一般会再次总结文章的中心思想，强调主旨，或者是具有启发性的内容，发人深思。
也有的新闻文章没有明显的结语。
3.特点：一个特点是新闻报道强调客观性，作者一般不直接表达自己的观点；另一个特点是引语的使用，包括直接引语和间接引语。
另外新闻体裁的阅读理解考查题型：四种题型(细节理解题、推理判断题、主旨大意题和词义猜测题)都有可能涉及。
浏览文章，判断其体裁是不是新闻类阅读理解题，如果是，需要再读全文，重点“关注”以下三个部分。
一、关注导语部分导语往往包含了新闻最具价值的内容，与整个文章的主题密切相关。
通过阅读导语部分可以更好地把握文章的主题。

Ⅰ.体验高考Passage 1体裁：记叙文话题：生活经历时间：7分钟(2014·广东卷，C)Like many new graduates，I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do.My degree，with honors，in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical.I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that.That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers.I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time.In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly.Neither did my family.Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application.After countless interviews and presentations，I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone.Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for duty.I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria.Where？What？Nigeria？I had no idea.But I was about to find out.After completing my training，I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation.Though the local villagers were poor，they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family.I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse.For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse.But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and I returned to the United States a different man.The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.【语篇导读】本文作者叙述的是自己申请叫做灯塔计划的志愿者工作的过程和被选作志愿者后去阿布加附近的一个小村庄工作的经历，这段经历让作者学到了许多，改变了人生。
