高中英语阅读理解(时文广告)解题技巧分析及练习题(含答案)
一、高中英语阅读理解时文广告类
1.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
Once again DC Comics and Warner Bros. have divided fans and critics over their latest superhero film.
There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder's tragic loss of his daughter and, of course, a lot of talk about Ben Affleck's future in the role of Batman.
Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment, that it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros. have finally got it right and that the future for the League looks bright.
My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: it was exciting, funny and a lot of fun to watch. There's something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.
However, I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success. Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed. I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done; these are the kinds of problems that you don't expect to see in a film with such a big budget.
Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun. But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.
In the end, Justice League is not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one. A lot of work is still to be done but I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.
(1)Before the release of Justice League, many people showed their ______.
A. pity for the director, Zack Snyder
B. concern about the film's quality
C. higher expectation of the new director
D. support for the actor, Ben Affleck
(2)According to the author, what's special about Justice League?
A. It advocates social justice.
B. It brings lots of fun to the audience.
C. It has some brave heroes.
D. It brings back childhood memories.
(3)In Paragraph 5 the author mainly wants to express his ______.
A. views on the film's weakness
B. advice to the film's director
C. love for the film
D. expectation of the film's sequels
(4)The author mentioned another film producer to ______.
A. stress the importance of fun in a film
B. show Justice League's lack of a serious plot
C. serve as a warning to the producer of Justice League
D. set an example for the producer of Justice League
【答案】(1)B
(2)D
(3)A
(4)C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了作者对《正义联盟》这部电影的看法。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的"There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder's tragic loss of his daughter"可知,在《正义联盟》上映前的几个月里,一直有令人担忧的消息,原导演扎克·斯奈德因女儿离世而无法继续拍摄,所以一位新导演来继续拍摄,很多场景都进行了重新拍摄,由此可知,在上映之前,很多人都很担心《正义联盟》的质量,故选B。
(2)考查细节理解。
根据第四段中的"There's something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion."可知,作者说在大银幕上看到童年时代的英雄们变得栩栩如生的感觉很特别,可知,作者认为《正义联盟》的特别之处是它能唤起童年的回忆,故选D。
(3)考查段落大意。
根据第五段内容可知,本段主要介绍了《正义联盟》这部电影存在很多不足,比如重拍的场景很明显、角色的改变也有缺陷以及几个场景的特效很糟糕,同时指出如果制片人想取得巨大成功,还需要做很多工作,由此可知,作者在这一段主要表达他对这部电影的不足之处的看法,故选A。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的"But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories."可知,但制片人必须小心,不要和另一个制片人一样犯这种错误:把所有的电影都变成亮丽多彩的表演,而失去很多非常好的故事,由此可知作者提到另一个制片人就是提醒《正义联盟》的制片人不要犯同样的错误,故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和段落大意三个题型的考查,是一篇影评,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。

3.阅读理解
Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.
King's Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.
You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters' or get more creative with paint—free of charge.
The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8,000 plant species;it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.
The multibranched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above bluegreen leaves, and is not one to miss.
Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.
The Garden is also a place for wildlife enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid' is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron's Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of "mess and drunkenness". However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.
It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make
the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.
(1)According to the passage, there is a small charge for ______.
A. seeing an exhibition
B. learning life drawing
C. working with local artists
D. attending the masters' class
(2)"Torch Aloe" and "Venus Flytrap" are ______.
A. common insects
B. rarely seen snakes
C. impressive plants
D. wildlife-enthusiasts (3)In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake ______.
A. owned by Lord Byron
B. surrounded by fields
C. located in Grantchester
D. discovered by Virginia Woolf
(4)What is the passage mainly about?
A. Unknown stories of Cambridge University.
B. The colourful life in the countryside.
C. A way to become creative in art.
D. Some places for weekend break.
【答案】(1)B
(2)C
(3)B
(4)D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了几处周末度假的好去处。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据King's Art Centre部分中的“The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.”该中心还开设了两门素描课,费用不高,可知,学习写生需要一点小费用。
故选B。
(2)考查细节理解。
根据The Botanic Garden部分中的“The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive.”这里的多枝火炬芦荟令人印象深刻;及“Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.”去陈列馆看一看舞水莲,一种通常被称为捕蝇草的植物,以昆虫和其他小动物为食,可知,Torch Aloe是给人印象深刻的植物,Venus Flytrap则是一种以昆虫和其他小动物为食的植物。
由此可知,Torch Aloe和Venus Flytrap是两种给人印象深刻的植物。
故选C。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据Byron's Pool部分中的“A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields.”在剑桥郡南部的格兰切斯特(Grantchester)乡村,几英里外的池塘周围环绕着美丽的圆形小径,可推知,Byron's Pool是被田野环绕的湖。
故选B。
(4)考查主旨大意。
根据第一段中的“Still seek ing a destination for your weekend break?There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.”还在为你的周末假期寻找目的地吗? 有些地方离你的大学可能只有几步之遥,可知,本文所描述的是给读者提供一些可在周末休闲的去处。
故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是几则广告。
要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。

Gemini Man
Gemini Man is a big-budget Hollywood sci-fi-action movie based on an original concept, rather than on a superhero comic or an old TV series, even though this particular original concept is more 20 years old. In it a government assassin (杀手)is being hunted down by his own clone The original script was sold by Darren Lemke to a studio in 1997, and since then almost every male A-listener has been attached as a potential star. Now, at long last, Ang Lee has directed Gemini Man, and Will Smith plays both the veteran assassin and his much younger doppelganger (分身).
Jojo Rabbit
During World War Two, a 10-year-old German boy (Roman Griffin David) is desperate to be a dutiful Nazi, only to discover that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding, a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their house. It may not sound like the stuff of a big-hearted comedy but Taika Waititi can make anything warm and funny. As well as writing and directing Jojo Rabbit, Waititi co-stars as the boy's imaginary friend,a nitwitted Adolf Hitler.
Doctor Sleep
Mike Flanag's new film is adapted from Stephen King, novel, Doctor Sleep, which was a sequel (续集) to The Shining. You can expect to see blood flowing out of lifts in a rapid stream, ghostly twin girls and headache-including carpet patterns.

The twist was that the eponymous wicked fairy wasn't so wicked, after all, and that the real villain was the father of Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning). The sequel's subtitle promises that Maleficent will actually be evil this time around, her change of heart prompted by Aurora's engagement to handsome prince (Harris Dickinson).(1)What can we learn from this passage?
A. Ewan McGregor plays a role in Doctor Sleep.

Dreaming of summer picnics filled with family and fun? We've come up with 4 of the top picnic areas across the US.
Cumberland Islands, Georgia
Just a few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a wonderful picnic place. It's an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails (小径). Covered in Spanish moss, the trails are lined with trees and since it's still a rural area, the stars line up for a grand show at night and create the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity.
Grant Park, Chicago
If you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for a taste of a 20-day, lake-front, foodie festival that happens in October each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends. If you are there on July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier.
Cranberry Islands, Maine
Here, you'll enjoy natural picnics with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park. You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry service. Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it's a romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands.
Big Sur, California

Water is a necessity of life. Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain, especially in cities, can lead to flooding. That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.
A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation's capital has created a garden on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five "green roofs" for the university. He says he is excited about the project because "it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren't doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture." Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.
In cities, "you don't have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just (unused) space," says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school's Urban Agriculture program. The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. "We also have our own farm experiments," Arlotta said. "Within each of
those growing systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best."
Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC's Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners. She says she's been surprised by the garden's output. "My biggest surprise was that we produced 4, 250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need." She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation's capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop. "This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a commercial kitchen, you distribute through farmers markets, food trucks, and then you recycle."
(1)What do we know about the rooftop gardens?
A. Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighborhoods.
B. There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.
C. They're playing an important role in the city's food supply.
D. Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.
(2)What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Rooftops can offer enough space to plant crops.
B. Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.
C. Some university students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.
D. The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.
(3)How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?
A. Confident.
B. Doubtful.
C. Worried.
D. Ambiguous.
(4)What is the best title for the text?
A. Rainwater Necessity for Plant Life
B. Green Roofs-The Future of Urban Agriculture
C. The United States' Agriculture Program
D. Rooftop Gardens-Food Paradise
【答案】(1)B
