（英语）高三英语阅读理解技巧阅读训练策略及练习题(含答案)及解析
一、高中英语阅读理解
1．阅读理解
Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy and quick to learn English. There is even a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But many people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear.
Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but too many cannot afford to do so. Some go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good pronunciation and intonation.
Most teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making sentences. If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren't, because it would make it easier to use their methods.
In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real.
There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people to talk to and listen to when we communicate. They can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life language.
（1）Many people believe advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses probably because .
A. they are encouraged by William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens
B. they are eager to learn and then believe them
C. the ways advertised can help them to save time and efforts
D. the ways advertised prove effective and helpful
（2）What may behaviorists argue towards English learning?
A. Human beings make more interesting noises than parrots and chimpanzees.
B. Human beings should relate their speech to their own lives.
C. Language is a formula with lots of repetitions and practices.
D. Language is a means of communication.
（3）What opinion does the author hold?
A. A quick method that suits all the students does exist.
B. English can be mastered within a very short period of time.
C. Each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language.
D. No one can learn English well without being interested in it.
（4）What ways of learning is suggested by the author?
A. Study abroad.
B. Learn communicatively and situationally.
C. Follow the behaviorists' approach.
D. Teach oneself at home with dictionaries.
【答案】（1）B
（2）C
（3）D
（4）B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，讲述了一名语言教师对语言学习的个人看法。

他认为学生们喜欢实惠的速成学习方法在情理之中，但是学英语不像广告中所说的那么轻松，假如没有兴趣，任何人都不可能学好英语或其他任何语言。

在交际时我们需要有交谈或倾听的对象。

用真实的语言去谈论真实的生活，那一定会受益匪浅。

（1）考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的“No doubt t his is true to a certain extent, but it is not very helpful to students. ”可知许多人渴望学好这门语言，相信这些广告中宣传的学习语言能速成，故选B。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“Most teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making sent ences.”可知现在大量的教学活动还是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上。

行为主义者热衷于让学生复述短语，不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习。

故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的“In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it.”可知作者认为，假如没有兴趣，任何人都不可能学好英语或其他任何语言。

根据最后一段中的“There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people to talk to and listen to when we communicate. They can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life la nguage.”可知还有一个相关的问题值得一提：在交际时我们需要有交谈或倾听的对象。

在学习较生疏的内容时，如果有其他学生和我们在实战中一起学习和练习那些陌生的语言形式，用真实的语言去谈论真实的生活，那一定会受益匪浅。

故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。

2．阅读理解
A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿)connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.
Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern"A-B-B". Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible
for speech was more active during the" A-B-B" pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order. Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar." Position is key to language," she says. "If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: John caught the bear.' is very different from 'The bear caught John.'”
Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones－no matter how educational－doesn't appear to be enough for children's brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who'd watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies－regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio－learned nothing.
（1）What makes connections in a baby's brain?
A. Having a higher IQ.
B. Experiencing new information.
C. The baby' early age.
D. The connection with other babies.
（2）What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?
A. Babies identify different sound patterns.
B. Word order is relevant to meaning.
C. Babies can well understand different words.
D. A certain brain region processes language.
（3）What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Grammar is important in learning languages.
B. Different orders have different meanings.
C. Different languages have different grammar.
D. Words have different sounds.
（4）What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?
A. Babies shouldn't watch a lot of television.
B. Listening to different languages develops babies' brain.
C. Foreign languages help babies' brain develop.
D. Social communication improves babies' brain development.
【答案】（1）B
（2）A
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】【分析】本文属于科普文章，介绍小孩最初几年的经历对大脑发育很重要，而媒介输入对孩子大脑发育效果不明显，最有效的是面对面语言输入。

（1）细节理解题。

根据第一段Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain.可知，婴儿接收到不同信息，可以让大脑不同部分形成连接，故选B。

（2）推理判断题。

根据第二段The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the" A-B-B" pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns.可知，实验表明婴儿可以区别不同的声音模式，故选A。

（3）句意猜测题。

根据第三段"If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: 'John caught the bear.' is very different from 'The bear caught John.'”可知，有些东西放在句首和句尾，会有很大的不同，比如John抓住了熊，和熊抓住了John，意思是不一样的，可知本句意思为位置对于语言来说很重要的，顺序不同，意思不同，故选B。

（4）推理判断题。

根据最后一段Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones－no matter how educational－doesn't appear to be enough for children's brain development.可知，通过电视、网络等媒介的语言教学，对于婴儿大脑发展是不够的，并且后面的实验表明，面对面的语言输入才有效，故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和句意猜测三个题型的考查，是一篇说明类阅读，要求考生先从问题中抓住关键性词语（题眼），然后以此为线索，运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的：段落、语句，仔细品味，同时根据上下文进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

3．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.
The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly." It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.
Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle.
The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.
In New Zealand, Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1, 000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.
Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack "is built around safety from the start". In his words, "Reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.
The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency. "It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot," he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.
（1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike ________.
A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly
B. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1, 000 meters high
C. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams
D. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed
（2）Peter Coker uses the example of Formula One racing car to show that ________.
A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliable
B. the engine of the Jetpack is powerful
C. the actual structure of the Jetpack is unique
D. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height
（3）The underlined word "It" in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. the jet stream
B. the engine
C. the Jetpack
D. the parachute （4）What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.
B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.
C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.
D. To advertise the two personal flying vehicles.
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）D
（4）B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述一种个人飞行工具很快就会应用于现实，然而安全性和强度一直是个大问题，文中介绍了两家研发飞行器的公司的最新的产品，新产品把安全放在首位，并对产品进行了改进。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very qui ckly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed.” 可知，Hoverbike能够很快地进出小空间。

它可快速地在大陆上移动，因为它可以折叠和包装。

（3）考查词义猜测。

根据最后一段中的“Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. "It starts to work at very low altitude …., ”Coker先生说Jetpack上也有降落伞，可以在紧急情况下使用。

“在海拔非常低的情况下开始用它…”。

可知，Jetpack上的降落伞（它）是在海拔低时才用。

由此可知it指的是parachute (降落伞)。

故选D。

（4）考查主旨大意。

根据第一段可知，许多人一直梦想能像骑自行车一样简单的飞来飞去，科技的发展让这个梦想很快实现。

然而飞行自行车的安全性和强度一直是个大问题。

4．阅读理解
Average humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. If you were born after 1978, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. Most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifetime greatly.
The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. It's a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete, and electrical and plumbing (管道装置) lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered by concrete—both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17°C cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside.
The village is the brainchild (主意) of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process.
The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your “footprints”.
（1）What does Paragraph 1 intend to tell us?
A. The reason for buying fewer drinks.
B. The difficult situation of wildlife.
C. The amount of plastic waste.
D. The seriousness of plastic pollution.
（2）What is the biggest benefit to people living in the Plastic Bottle Village?
A. The house will be much cooler than normal ones.
B. The material of construction will be reduced a lot.
C. The newly-made house can save a lot of electricity.
D. The waste of the house can be consumed by fish and birds.
（3）Which of the following words can best describe Robert?
A. Creative.
B. Courageous.
C. Enthusiastic.
D. Sensitive.（4）The main purpose of Robert's projects is to
A. provide shelter for locals
B. reuse all deserted plastic bottles
C. popularize the use of plastic bottles
D. raise people's environmental awareness
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）A
（4）D
【解析】【分析】考查环保类文章。

一个人一生中会留下许多塑料瓶子，这些瓶子要花上百年才能分解成碎片，而且永远不会完全消失，给地球留下太多的污染。

于是Robert想出了用这此塑料瓶子建成房子，这种材料房子的室内温度相对凉爽，这对于环境来说更加环保。

（1）考查推理判断题。

根据第一段内容可知，一个人一生中会留下许多塑料瓶子，这些瓶子要花上百年才能分解成碎片，而且永远不会完全消失。

大部分的废物被鱼和鸟所消耗，大大缩短了它们的寿命。

由此可推测出这些塑料瓶子对地球的污染有多严重。

故答案选D。

（2）考查细节理解中的一一对应型。

答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合。

根据第二段最后一句“the material will keep the house 17°C cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside.”可知，这种材料可以使房子的温度比室外低17°，这对居住在室内的人来说是最大的好处。

故答案A。

（3）考查推理判断题。

根据全文可知这地球上的塑料瓶子要花上百年才能分解成碎片，而且永远不会完全消失，给地球留下太多的污染。

于是Robert的项目就是用这些塑料瓶建成房子，这种材料房子的室内温度相对凉爽，不仅让利用废物，还环保了地球。

可说是一个有创意性的项目，即Robert是一个有创造性的人。

故答案选A。

（4）考查推理判断题。

根据最后一段的第一句“The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. ”可知项目希望人们意识到这些瓶子造成的浪费，以便他们能做更多来保护环境，以此提高人们保护环境的意识。

故答案选D。

【点评】细节判断题——定位法。

通过定位词寻找出题点定位词和主题句是英语阅读理解解题方法的最重要的两个要素，前者适用于解答细节理解题，后者用于解答主旨大意题。

通过定位词解题，就是说我们在阅读题干的时候迅速的把题干中有标记意义的词或词组划记出来，然后用这个词回到原文当中定位。

6．阅读理解
Two heads are better than one. It means that two people working together have a better chance of solving a problem than one person alone. But not everyone likes working in a group.
There can be a number of reasons why people dislike group work. Some may feel nervous or uneasy in group situations. Others might have had a bad experience with individuals who did not work well as a team. Another comment is that teachers or instructors fail to provide roles for group members. This may create a situation where everyone or no one wants to lead. Whatever the issue, the result is the same: the group does not realize its goal.
Cooperative (合作的) learning is an educational method that can help to solve this problem. There are many methods of cooperative learning. Today we will talk about one: giving each person in a small group a specific duty to reach a shared goal. For example, if learners are divided into groups of four people each, their roles might be: leader, writer, checker and speaker. This structure helps ensure that everyone takes part equally in group work and allows each member to play a meaningful part in completing the shared goal.
Before dividing learners into groups, it is a good idea for the teacher or club's instructor to first have knowledge about the language skill levels of participants. The goal is to make each group a mixture of higher- and lower-level language learners. Putting too many people with similar skill levels together could make the work too difficult or easy. Role cards can be a helpful tool in this method of cooperative learning. Their purpose is to remind learners of each person's role.
Before the cooperative activity, the role of the teacher or activity instructor is to explain two things to the group: the main job for the activity and how the cooperative roles work. The person in charge may appoint these roles or let the English learners choose them. Then, during the activity, the instructor's job is to watch the groups and provide more guidance when needed. After the activity, the instructor may wish to provide feedback to groups on their work and their use of cooperation.
With this cooperative learning method, you can say that four heads are better than just one.（1）What's the outcome if people do not enjoy group work?
A. The aim of the group can not be achieved.
B. Specific roles will be given to group members.
C. Group members will feel at ease in groups.
D. Group members will fail to work individually.
（2）Why does the teacher need to know about those who take part in the activity?
A. To find out language learners with similar levels.
B. To clarify higher- and lower-level language learners.
C. To combine learners with different language levels.
D. To increase the difficulty in finishing the work.
（3）Which of the following is TRUE about the role of instructors?
A. To offer group members timely help at each step.
B. To listen to the response from group members.
C. To help the English learners choose their favourite roles.
D. To make clear about the task and working principles of the roles.
（4）Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Two Heads Are Better than One.
B. Cooperation Is a Must in Learning.
C. Group Work Makes a Great Difference to Learners' Achievement.
D. Cooperative Learning Contributes to the Success of Group Work.
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）D
（4）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了合作学习有助于团队工作的成功。

You may be familiar with the following famous people, but have you heard of their graduation speeches, in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration.
Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin
And now you've accomplished something great and important here, and it's time for you to move on to what's next. And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first
steps. … You must also co mmit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed（赐予）with and go.
J.K. Rowling, Harvard University
Half my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my paren ts who were not rich…But what I feared most of myself at your age was not poverty, but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.
Steve Jobs, Stanford University
Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith…Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle.
Bill Gates, Harvard University
We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequities（不公平）like hunger, poverty, and so on.
