2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(浙江卷)英语第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字)rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂)of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiencesfrom all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A. his reputation in FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To remember a great writer.B. To introduce an English novel.C. To encourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.BSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台) . The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.z.x.xkThe industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One studyfound that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute(质疑)these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.24. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.25. What does the word “headwinds”in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.26. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste ControlCAs cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线)on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lastingaspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power.zxx.kThe cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.The problems of excessive(过度的)energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.Friedman points out that the green economy(经济)is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”28. Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To explain A mericans’ love for travelling by car.B. To show the influence of cars on American culture.C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.D. To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.29. What has the use of cars in America led to?A. Decline of economy.B. Environmental problems.C. A shortage of oil supply.D. A farm-based society.30. What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?A. Ambiguous.B. Doubtful.C. Hopeful.D. Tolerant. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe most welcome sight on a cold, wet winter night in London is the familiar shape of a London taxi cab approaching with its yellow "for hire" sign shining brightly. That shows it is ready to pick you up. Travelling by taxi in London is not just a way of going from one place to another. It is an experience to be enjoyed and remembered.The main reason for this is the drivers, who are called “cabbies.”Many of them are true Cockneys. This means they were born in the heart of London andspeak their own special dialect (方言)of English. All of them know every streetand famous building in the city, and all of them love to talk. A simple twenty-minute journey across town can become very interesting. You may have a discussion about the government and its leaders or a friendly talk about the driver's Aunty Nellie! One thing is for sure, it will never be boring. Cabbies know all the latest news about film stars, the Royal Family, government leaders, and popular singers or actors and actresses.They also know the best places to eat, shop and relax. And they can take you straight to any large hotel, department store, theatre or museum. They know the shortest way possible without even looking at a map, because everyone who wants to become a taxi driver must pass a very difficult examination in order to get a license to drive a taxi. The exam is called “The Knowledge.” It is a written test, and in it drivers are asked the shortest way from one place to another. Theymust take into account the time of day --in rush hour, a longer route(路线)maybe quicker -- and describe the best way. Moreover they must never forget the one-way streets!21. From what can we tell that someone is a Cockney?A. Their interest.B. Their manners.C. Their speech.D. Their appearance.22. What does the author suggest by mentioning “Aunty Nellie” in paragraph 2?A. Passengers are full of curiosity.B. Cabbies’ topics are wide-ranging.C. Aunty Nellie is popular in London.D. Londoners are friendly to each other.23. What is the purpose of “The Knowledge”?A. To qualify one to drive a taxi.B. To assess one’s driving skills.C. To test drivers’ ability to write.D. To check taxi drivers’ memory.BThis month millions of American kids can forget about classroom bells and set off for grandparents' homes, sleep-away camps and lifeguard stands. But summer vacation hasn't always been a birth right of U.S. school children. Beforethe Civil War, schools operated on one of two calendars (日历), neither of which included a summer vacation. Rural (农村的)schooling was divided into summerand winter terms, leaving kids free to help with the farm work in the spring planting and fall harvest seasons. Urban students, meanwhile, regularly had as many as 48 weeks of study a year, with one break per quarter.In the 1840s, however, educational reformers like Horace Mann moved to combine the two calendars out of concern that rural schooling was not enough and that overusing of young minds could lead to nervous disorders. Summer appeared as the obvious time for a break: it offered a rest for teachers, fit in the farming calendar and reduced doctors' concern that packing students into hot classrooms would promote the spread of disease.But people’s opinion about the modern U.S. school year, which averages 180 days, is still divided. Some experts say its pleasant but lazy summer break, which took hold in the early 20th century, is one of the reasons math skills and graduation rates of U.S. high schoolers ranked well below average in two international education reports published in 2007. Others insist that with childrenunder increasing pressure to devote their down time to internships(实习)orstudy, there's still room for an institution that protects the lazy days of childhood.24. What did the rural school calendar before the Civil War allow children to do?A. Enjoy a summer vacation.B. Take a break each quarter.C. Have 48 weeks of study a year.D. Assist their parents with farm work.25. What did the educational reformers do in the 1840s?A. They introduced summer vacation.B. They shortened rural school terms.C. They promoted the study of farming.D. They advocated higher pay for teachers.26. Why are some people unhappy about the modem U.S. school year?A. It pushes the teachers too hard.B. It reduces the quality of education.C. It ignores science instruction.D. It includes no time for internships.CI start every summer with the best of intentions: to attack one big book from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental: “Moby Dick” on a three-day cross-country train trip; “The Magic Mountain”in a New England beach side cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on a return to Hawaii, my nativestate, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes (册),then decided that I’d got the point and went swimming instead.But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested in Balzac, say, or “Tristram Shandy.”There’s always “War and Peace,”which I've covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War”part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite - once more into “The Waves”or“Justine,” which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.And then there’s Stendhal’s“The Red and the Black,” which happens to bethe name of my favorite cocktail(鸡尾酒)of the summer, created by MichaelCecconi at Savoy and Back Forty. It is easy to drink, and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea. Cecconi’s theory: “I take whatever’s fresh at the green market and turn it into liquid."The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park, making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating through the lids…27. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph?A. He has a cottage in New England.B. He shows talents for literature.C. He enjoys reading when traveling.D. He admires a lot of great writers.28. What do the underlined words “get bogged down” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Get confused.B. Be carried away.C. Be interrupted.D. Make no progress.29. Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating?A. He finishes them quickly.B. He should read something serious.C. He barely understands them.D. He has read them many times before.30. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Books of SummerB. My Summer HolidaysC. To Read or Not to ReadD.

AIn 1812, the year Charles Dicke ns was born, there were 66 no vels publishedin Brita in. People had bee n writi ng no vels for a cen tury — most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but n obody wan ted to do it professi on ally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字)rate in En gla nd was un der 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without thenames of the authors, often with something like “ By a lady. ” Novels, for themost part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, whe n Dicke ns died, the world mourned him as its first professi onalwriter and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosi on in both thepublicati on of no vels and their readership and whose characters —from Oliver Twist to Ti ny Tim —were held up as moral touchst on es. Today Dicke ns ' great ness is un challe nged. Removi ng him from the pan the on (名人堂)of En glish literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre sell ing off the Mona Lisa.How did Dicke ns get to the top? For all the feeli ngs readers attach to stories, literature is a nu mbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficultto pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half- dozen of them. It ' s partly true that Dicke ns ' style of writi ng attracted audie ncesfrom all walks of life. It ' s partly that his writings rode a wave of social,political and scientific progress. But it ' s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of tale nt, ambiti on, en ergy and luck made Dicke ns such a sin gular writer. But asthe 200th anni versary of his birth approaches, it is possible for our own culture—and importa nt —to un dersta nd how he made himself a last ing one.21. Which of the follow ing best describes British no vels in the 18 th cen tury?A. They were difficult to un dersta nd.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were see n as n early worthless.D. They were writte n mostly by wome n.22. Dicke ns is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress ______ .A. his reputati on in FranceB. his in terest in moder n artC. his success in publicati onD. his importance in literature23. What is the author ' s purpose in writing the text?A. To remember a great writer.B. To in troduce an En glish no vel.C. To en courage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victoria n age.BSteve n Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His stra nge habit makes sensewhen you consider that he ' s an environmental scientist who studies how to reducelitter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down theroad. What is eve n more in terest ing is that one of Stein's jobs is defe nding anin dustry beh ind the plastic shopp ing bags.America ns use more tha n 100 billio n thin film plastic bags every year. Somany end up in tree bran ches or along highways that a grow ing nu mber of citiesdo not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in Califor nia, in cludi ng Los An geles. Eyeing these headw in ds, plastic-bagmakers are hiri ng scie ntists like Stein to make the case that their productsare not as bad for the pla net as most people assume.Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paperbags, which are easily recycled but require moreen ergy to produce and tran sport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represe nt a small perce ntage of all garbage on the ground today.z.x.xk The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replaceme nt: reusable shopp ing bags. The stro nger a reusable bag is, the Ion ger its life and the more plastic-bag use it can cels out. However, l on ger-last ing reusable bags ofte n require more en ergy to make. One study found that a cott onbag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmen talists don't dispute (质疑)these poin ts. They hope paper bagswill be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.24. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help in crease grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falli ng off trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.25. What does the word “ headw in ds” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city developme nt.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.26. What is a disadva ntage of reusable bags accord ing to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expe nsive.B. Replaci ng them can be difficult.C. They are less strong tha n plastic bags.D. Produci ng them requires more en ergy.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. In dustry, Polluti on and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collect ion and Waste Con trolCAs cultural symbols go, the America n car is quite young. The Model T Ford wasbuilt at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rollingoff the assembly line (装配线)on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the n ext mon th. But even tually Henry Ford would build fiftee n millio n of them.Moder n America was born on the road, beh ind a wheel. The car shaped some ofthe most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard,the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last cen tury, the car represe ntedwhat it meant to be America n — going forward at high speed to find new worlds.The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, bornof abundant petrol, cheap cars and a n ever-e nding in terstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagi ned an America with “ a chicke n in every pot anda car in every garage. ” Si nee the n, this society has moved on ward, n ever look ingback, as the car tran sformed America from a farm-based society into an in dustrial power.zxx.kThe cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster.

2018年高考浙江卷英语试题答案解析
2018年高考浙江卷英语解析第二部分阅读理解AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. Peoplehad been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in itsearly stages; the literacy(识字)rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appearedwithout the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most p were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer andpublisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and theirreadership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moraltouchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂)of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is anumbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels werepublished during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to namea half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiencesfrom all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientificprogress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No onewill ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguishedwriter. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for ourown culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.1。

AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字) rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged.Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels werepublished during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s al so that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th centuryA. They were difficult to understand.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A. his reputation in FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the textA. To remember a great writer.B. To introduce an English novel.C. To encourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.BSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台) . The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeingthese headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the groundThe industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.24. What has Steven Stein been hired to doA. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.25. What does the word “headwinds”in paragraph 2 refer toA. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.26. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makersA. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.27. What is the best title for the textA. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste ControlCAs cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线) on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.The problems of excessive(过度的)energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.Friedman points out that the green economy(经济)is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”28. Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2A. To explain Americans’ love for travelling by car.B. To show the influence of cars on American culture.C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.D. To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.29. What has the use of cars in America led toA. Decline of economy.B. Environmental problems.C. A shortage of oil supply.D. A farm-based society.30. What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s futureA. Ambiguous.B. Doubtful.C. Hopeful.D. Tolerant.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
