一、高中英语阅读理解时文广告类
1．阅读理解
A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens. The first 6,000 copies of the book were sold out in a week. And the book has inspired many plays and movies. The first play was put on in 1844. The first two movies were silent films made in 1901 and 1908. Since then, the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema. What makes such a tale so attractive? Audiences have always loved a good plot, a villain(反面人物) who harms other people or breaks the law, and the ending of right over wrong. The book offers all three.
The book tells the story of a man named Ebenezer Scrooge. He is mean and cruel(残忍的) to his clerk and turns away his only living relative. One night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits. The first shows scenes from Scrooge's youth that led to this present state. The second takes him to the homes of his clerk and his nephew. Here Scrooge sees that people can be happy without lots of money. The spirit also shows him the desperate poor people of London. The third spirit shows Scrooge will die alone, and no one will care if he continues to live as he has. At last the message is understood, and Scrooge repents. He becomes generous and caring to all around him, especially to his clerk's sick son, Tiny Tim.
Every year, thousands of people watch A Christmas Carol. Why? They may be touched by its lessons on the true meanings of wealth and happiness. They may enjoy the special effects and feelings or watching every year may be just a habit. Viewers never seem to grow tired of the old miser(守财奴), Scrooge, and his dramatic message of hope and change.

6．阅读理解
Over the next decade, technology will decimate more jobs in many professions.
Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does welding (焊接) will be less than $2 per hour, for example. That's more affordable than the $25 per hour that a human welder earns today in America.
Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don't need a driver in the driver's seat. According to the American Trucking Associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers were employed in the United States in 2010, and 6. 8 million others were employed in other jobs relating to trucking activity. So roughly one of every 15 workers in the country is employed in the trucking business. We could be talking about millions of jobs disappearing in the early 2020s.
And then there is the "Gig Economy (零工经济)" that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. Uber has already done this to taxi drivers, and other
technology companies are doing it to a wide range of jobs. A study by Intuit predicted that, by 2020, 40% of American workers will be self-employed, and that full-time jobs will be harder to find. We are talking about 60 million people in this category. The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can't enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits.
The measures to be taken are to raise trade barriers. But closing the doors to foreign trade won't bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss.
（1）The underlined word "decimate" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by "______".
A. make someone interested in
B. equip someone for
C. wipe out
D. bring back （2）What will happen with technologies developing according to the text?
A. Robots will become smarter and smarter.
B. Uber's labor cost will be lower and lower.
C. More and more truck drivers will be needed.
D. Taxi drivers can enjoy more health insurance.
（3）Which of the following is an advantage of a full-time job?
A. It may be flexible.
B. It may offer sick pay.
C. It is full of adventure.
D. It is always well-paid.
（4）Which of the following does the writer agree on?
A. Welcoming foreign trade.
B. Offering more part-time jobs.
C. Using fewer robots to stop job loss.
D. Developing more new technologies.
（5）What's the writer's main purpose in writing the text?
A. To show technology advances in our daily life.
B. To prove technologies cause low incomes.
C. To introduce what the Gig Economy is.
D. To warn the Gig Economy is coming.
【答案】（1）C
（2）B
（3）B
（4）A
（5）D
【解析】【分析】短文大意：本文主要介绍了随着技术进步，很多公司使用更多的机器人，不再需要很多全职工人，零工经济时代很快就会到来，并举出Uber公司的例子加以说明。

（1）词义猜测题。

根据第二段第一句"Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. "可知机器人的成本比人力更便宜，未来很多公司会更多使用机器人。

也就是说机器人会夺走很多人的工作，故C项正确。

（2）推理判断题。

根据第三段第一句"Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don't need a driver in the driver's seat. "可知Uber公司开发了
无人驾驶技术，会大大地减少雇佣司机的工资付出，公司的运营成本会越来越低。

故B项正确。

（3）推理判断题。

根据第四段最后一句"The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can't enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits. "可知兼职工作的人无法享受生病工资，也就是说全职工作的人可以享受sick pay，这也是全职工作的优势，故B项正确。

（4）推理判断题。

根据文章最后一句"But closing the doors to foreign trade won't bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss. "可知作者认为关闭对外贸易并不能让工作机会回归，只会减缓全球经济发展并伤害美国的出口。

由此可见作者支持对外贸易。

故A项正确。

（5）推理判断题。

根据文章前两段可知技术进步让公司使用更多的机器人，不再需要很多全职工人。

再根据第四段第一句"And then there is the "Gig Economy (零工经济)" that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. "可知零工经济时代很快就会到来。

故D项正确。

【点评】考查阅读理解。

本文词义猜测题和推理判断题两种常考题型，词义猜测题要注意理解划线词汇所在语境需要表达的意思；推理判断题需要联系上下文，推断出需要的信息。

8．阅读理解
By the time you read these words, winter should have gone within the Northern Hemisphere (半球). But at its worst, this winter was unusually cold. Here in New York City on January 31, the low temperature dropped to -17℃. In Chicago, it was also -17℃—but that was the high. The low jumped to -29℃. And the wind chill within the Windy City was -44℃ or -46℃, relying on which climate station was crying out in pain. As comic Lewis Black said, "That is not weather. That's an emergency condition."
When the forecast warned us a few days earlier that Arctic air was looming (阴森地逼近), President Trump issued a sincere and helpful tweet, which ended with: "What the hell is going on with Global Warming? Please come back fast, we need you!" And being the most powerful man on Earth, he was successful in his polite request. On February 4 the Chicago temperature reached 11℃. And the following day the Big Apple was in a sunny 19℃.
The Arctic is warming at twice the speed as the global average. This heat might help disrupt (打破) the polar vortex, a gradual wind pattern that usually stays focused on circling the North Pole.
A shaky jet stream (高速气流) then runs right into a brick wall of that Arctic air, which continues to be fairly cold by human standards, and both wind up lots of miles farther south than they usually belong. And for a few days we in the Deep South—by which I mean Chicago or New York compared with the Arctic—freeze our butts off. But less than a week later, thanks to some warm air coming up from the real South, I was walking outside without a coat on a date when the temperature in Chicago reached 11℃ on February 4.
Like so much else we are currently living through, this experience is not normal. Or it didn't used to be, anyway.
After all, scientists have been warming—sorry, warning—that warming can have these very results. Climate change deniers may sneer (冷笑), "So when it's warmer than usual, that's because of global warming. And when it's colder, that's also because of global warming?" Well, yes. And anybody who just can't accept these kinds of seemingly paradoxical conditions needs to reflect on the expression "freezer burn."
（1）By mentioning Lewis Black's words in Paragraph 1, the author intends to .
A. indicate how unusual the winter's weather was
B. suggest the north isn't a suitable place to live
C. remind people never to forget the past winter
D. urge people to take action against the emergency
（2）What led to the sudden increase in the Chicago temperature on February 4?
A. The cold Arctic air.
B. Trump's sincere tweet.
C. Warm air from the real South.
D. Disruption of polar vortex.
（3）Why does the author use the expression "freezer burn"?
A. To show readers his concerns about the extreme weather.
B. To prove global warming to be the cause of the extreme weather.
C. To cast doubt about scientists' study on the paradoxical conditions.
D. To express his disapproval of the result of the paradoxical conditions.
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）B
【解析】【分析】本文主要报道了在北半球这个时候像纽约、芝加哥等城市冬天不仅没走,反而出现了极不寻常的寒冷天气。

文中分析了其原因。

（1）推理判断题。

根据第一段Lewis Black的话的意思是：那不是天气。

这是紧急情况。

然后根据上文的描述"the low temperature dropped to -17°C. In Chicago, it was also -17°C—but that was the high. The low jumped to -29°C. And the wind chill within the Windy City was -44℃
or -46℃"可知天气情况极其恶劣。

因此这句话是突出了天气的极其异常。

故答案为A。

（2）细节理解题。

根据第三段"But less than a week later, thanks to some warm air coming up from real south, I was walking outside without a coat on a date when the temperature in Chicago"因此真正的原因是南方传来的暖气。

文中"And being the most powerful man on Earth, he was successful in his polite request."只是玩笑,不能作为真正的答案。

故答案为C。

（3）推理判断题。

根据第五段原文，文中这个词出现在"Well, yes. And anybody who just can't accept these kinds of seemingly paradoxical conditions needs to reflect on the expression "freezer burn."因此这个词的目的是反击那些"Climate change deniers"所以作者是支持global warming的，是为了证明全球变暖是极端天气的原因。

故答案为B。

【点评】考查阅读理解。

本文涉及了细节理解题和推理判断题两种常考题型。

细节理解题查找原文关键词，推理判断题根据上下文的理解进行合理的推理，不主观臆断。

9．阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

While kids visit vegetable plots and animal contact areas, they will learn that most of the food we eat every day comes from farms, and that taking care of animals takes time, commitment and knowledge.
Kids can see our cows, donkeys, goats, alpacas, pigs, etc. and learn all about looking after farm animals. At the Caring Corral, they will have a chance to touch cows and donkeys, under staff members' supervision.
