高考英语阅读理解真题（2016-17全国卷3B篇）详解2016On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?”the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,”Welty said. “I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’”Welty added. “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.“I don’t make them up,”she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears onlya fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.5.What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?A. Two strangers joined her.B. Her childhood friends came in.C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.D. Some people held a party there.6.The underlined word “them”in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s.A. readersB. partiesC. friendsD. stories7.What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?A. They live in big cities.B. They are mostly women.C. They come from real life.D. They are pleasure seekers.答案语篇分析：文章介绍了一位女作家请纽约的朋友吃饭时发生的故事。

Digging a Hole in China's Black Gold.China's love affair with coal is set to last, but for investors the romance has come out of the relationship.For the last few years, investors in China's coal section have been mining a rich seam(煤层). From the beginning of 2005 to the end of 2011, the level Qinhuangdao coal price rose 81%, supporting strong growth in profitability (利润)and enviable degree at mining majors like China Shenhua Energy.But as any miner will tell you, the longer you work a seam, the more difficult it is to get value. China's coal prices have fallen nearly 10% in the last three months. A seasonal fall from the winter peak, and a cyclical（周期性的）slowdown brought about by China's slowing construction and money tightening, is only part of the picture. Those effects will fade, but coal miners will still have to battle against structural pressure for lower prices.In 2008, China's 60 biggest miners the efficient excellences from a section with 9,000-plus firms accounted for just over half of civil production. Since then, the big have gotten bigger and the small are disappearing. Michael Parker, coal mining analyst at Sanford Bernstein, estimates in 2012 the top 60 miners will account for 80% of output.The assumption has always been that it's the very low-cost little mining operations that will go to the wall, pushing prices up. In fact, Mr. Parker argues that it's small industrial operations working difficult seams, and with poor access to convey that will be the first to go. The exit of these high-cost means that spot prices will increasingly be set by bigger more efficient producers and that means pressure for prices to stay low.With structural forces against a return to rising coal prices, investors in China's black gold should dig a huge stone hit their foot into a hole.1. Which is the general idea of this passage?A.Why it is difficult for China’s coal price to increase.B. China's 60 biggest miners the efficient excellences.C. the romance has come out of the relationship.D. the low-cost little operations that will fail.2. What is the investors’ attitude to China’s coal?A. angry.B. disappointed.C. not excited.D. very excited.3.Which is a reason for th e last few years’ Chinese investors feeling glad?A. poor access to transport that will be the first to go.B. investors in China's black gold got much money.C. spot prices will be set by bigger producers.D. coal price rose 81%.4.The cause that led to a cyclical slowdown of coal price was______.A. strong growth in profitability.B. China's money tightening and slowing construction.C. China's 60 biggest miners.D. the small are disappearing.5. The word “convey” in the fifth paragraph may mean ______.A.transport.B. change.C. reduce.D. increase.本文为说明文，主要介绍中国的煤炭价格为何难以上涨，并具体分析其原因。

Phil White has just returned from an 18,000mile, aroundtheworld bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised ￡70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than 1,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.1.

2017高考英语真题阅读理解汇编及答案

2017高考英语真题阅读理解汇编及答案一My father, at the death of his father, was six years old, and he grew up without education. He moved from Kentucky to Indiana when I was seven. We reached our new home about the time the state came into the Union. It was a wild area, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. I grew up there. There were some so-called schools, but what was required of a teacher never went beyond “reading, writing, and adding.” If a stranger supposed to understand Latin happened to li vefor a time in the area, he was looked on as wizard (奇才). There was simply nothing to excite a desire for education. Of course, when I grew up, I did not know much. Still, somehow, I could read, write, and add, but that was all. The advance I have now made is on this store of education, which I have picked up under the pressure of necessity.1.

2017高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编（125）阅读理解训练(2015·安徽)There are an extremely large number of ants worldwide.Each individual (个体的) ant hardly weighs anything，but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind.They also live nearly everywhere，except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles.For animals their size，ants have been astonishingly successful，largely due to their wonderful social behavior.In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions，they organize their lives with a clear division of labor.Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization.Where we use sound and sight to communicate，ants depend primarily on pheromones (外激素)，chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony.When an ant finds food，it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is.When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying，it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.In fact，when it comes to the art of war，ants have no equal.They are completely fearless and will readily take_on a creature much larger than themselves，attacking in large groups and overcoming their target.Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner，these little creatures have survived on Earth for more than 140 million years，far longer than dinosaurs.Because they think as one，they have a collective (集体的) intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.文章大意：文章主要讲的是蚂蚁。

体裁：记叙文话题：热点关注时间：7分钟Does style really sell? How can the appearance of a product be more important than what it does? The battle between form and function rose again when James Dyson，British inventor of the Dyson vacuum(真空) cleaner that has sold in millions around the world，resigned as chairman of London's Design Museum.It is widely believed that Mr.Dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style at the expense of serious industrial design.Mr.Dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself.He may be right，but these days，museums everywhere can no longer afford to be unique centers of scholarship andlearning.Among competition for sponsorship，they must use exhibitions of populist culture，nice cafes and shops or，best of all，a new building by Frank Gehry to increase visitor numbers.On the one hand，some producers can be too old-fashioned and too concerned with the importance of product engineering and the functionality of their goods.On the other hand，there are those who believe that how a product looks is more important.Design is indeed a broad term，involving both function and form.Typically，in any given product area，it changes from the former to the latter.Clothing is a good example.But surely you would have to be a very shallow person to think something's appearance is more important than what it does.Today nearly all goods at any given price point do much the same job.So almost the only way producers can differentiate their products from those of their competitors is to create some sort of emotional connection with the consumer，which could be through the visual appeal of the product or its packaging，or the imagery(意象) created by advertising.And what of the Dyson vacuum cleaner? Mr.Dyson may believe that people buy these machines because of the graphs showing their superior suction，but most vacuum cleaners do a good job；the main reason people pay extra for a Dyson is that it is a vacuum cleaner with a trendy brand.With its inside workings exposed，it is a bit like a Richard Rogers building with all its pipes shown in bright colors on the outside instead of being hidden inside.Functional it may be，but it is a bit of a trick，too.【语篇导读】英国吸尘器发明家Dyson因强烈反对设计博物馆太过注重外在的风格样式而辞职，他认为这里应该是研究学问的地方。

Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sport programs for the major U. S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs don't need high ratings to stay on the air.1. Television sport programs on weekend afternoons ________.A．result in more sport eventsB．get more viewers to play sportsC．make more people interested in televisionD．bring more money to the television networks2. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A．Because there would be few viewers.B．Because the advertisers would be off work.C．Because television programs would go slowly.D．Because viewers would pay less for watching television.3. In many families, men make decisions on ________.A．holiday trips B．sports viewingC．television shopping D．expensive purchases4. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because ________.A．their advertisers are carmakersB．their viewers are attracted by sportsC．their advertisers target at rich peopleD．their viewers can afford expensive cars5. What is the passage mainly about?A．Television ratings are determined by male viewers.B．Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.C．Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.D．Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.【要点综述】本文讲述的是通过在星期六和星期日的下午播放一些电视节目来吸引那些高收入的人来看，给广告带来了极大的效益。

2017高考英语真题分类汇编阅读理解真题及答案

2017高考英语真题分类汇编阅读理解真题及答案一In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The ―spider story‖ is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hidingin a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web(蜘蛛织网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on tospin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?Second, is the goal(目标)you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about his question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?”This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it's apart of life. Learn to ―live with yourself‖ even though you may have failed. Remember, ―You can't win them all.‖1.This passage deals with two sides of failure. In paragraph 1, the author talks mainly about ______ .A.the value of failurB.how people would failC.famous failuresD.the cause of failure2.The underlined phrase“made it”means ______ .A.succeededB.failedC.gaveD.got3.The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems ______ .A.productiveB.straight forwardC.sorrowfulD.deep4.The author tells you to do all things except ______ .A.The think about the cause of your failureB.to check out whether your goals are right for youC.to consider failure as a part or lifeD.to bear in mind that you will never fail in your life5.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Bruce and Edison were successful examples.B.Failure may be regarded as a way toward success.C.Edison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce.D.One may often raise a question whether his goals are worth attempting.2017高考英语真题分类汇编阅读理解真题及答案二In sport the sexes(性别)are separate. Women and men do not runor swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men . A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is68.Are women's bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women's time are always slower than men's, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16.The fir st‘Tartan’in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some womenathletes are given hormone (荷尔蒙)injections(注射). At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not.It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be verycomplicated(复杂的) when there are two separate sexes!1.Women are called the weaker sex because ______ .A.women do as much as menB.people think women are weaker than menC.sport is easier for men than for womenD.in sport the two sexes are always together2.Which of the following is true?A.Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B.Women do not run or swim in races with men.C. Famous Prime Ministers are women .D.Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.3.“That at least is what people say”means people ______ .A.say other things , tooB.don't say this muchC.say this but may not think soD.only think this4.What problems does sport have?A.Some women athletes are actually men.B.Some women athletes are give hormone injections.C.Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D.It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.5.In this passage the author implies that ______A.women are weaker than wen , but fasterB.women are slower than men, but strongerC.men are not always stronger and faster than womenD.men are faster and stronger than women答案：BBCBC2017高考英语真题分类汇编阅读理解真题及答案三People bury treasure to stop other people from taking it. They choose a quiet place, dig a deep hole and bury the treasure in it. Then they make a map of where the treasure is or write down other clues(线索)that will help them or someone else to find it again.In Britain a few years ago; a writer wrote about some treasure that he had buried. He put clues in the story to help readers find it. Thousands of people hunted for the treasure. They dug holes all over Britain, hoping to find it.One of the most popular adventure stories ever written is Robert Louis Stephenson's ‗Treasured Island‘, an exciting story about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who is captured by pirates and later finds some buried treasure.Then there is the true story about a man who had to travel overseas for a year. He did not trust banks, so he buried his life savings in a park. Then he went away. On his return, he went straight to the park. But the park was no longer there. In its place there was a huge building.And then there was the man who buried his savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof(防水的) bag. When he dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten the bag and everything in it.And of course, these are stories about people who bury things and either forget where they have buried them or lose the map.Although it is true that people sometimes lose their money because a bank fails, banks are still the safest place to keep our savings and treasures.1.People who bury treasure usuallyA.do not trust banksB.have a little money .C.want to live in a quiet place.D.expect to lose it2.The writer in BritainA.really had buried something.B.started a nationwide treasure hunt.C.had lost his treasure and wanted people to help him find it.D.caused trouble because people dug holes everywhere.3.―Treasure Island‖A.is a story about pirates.B.is about the adventures of Jim Hawkins.C.is the most popular story ever writtenD.is a well-known fairy tale.4.The man who buried his money in a parkA.thought his money was safer there than in a bank.B.travelled on the sea for a year.C.got his life savings back again.D.stayed away longer than he expected.5 . From these stories we understand thatA.we cannot trust banks.B.we should not trust anyone.C.a waterproof bag is not proof against worms and insects.D.insects eat anything.答案：ABBAC。

体裁：议论文话题：健康生活时间：7分钟A new study suggests you are where you live—at least in terms of weight.A rural address could be a risk factor for being overweight，according to the research published in the fall issue of The Journal of Rural Health.The study，led by researchers at the University of Kansas，analyzed data from the National Center for Health Statistics.They said it is the first in more than 30 years to use actual measurements of height and weight，rather than self-reported data，which can be unreliable.About 70 million Americans，or 23% of the population，live in rural areas.The researchers found that 39.6% of them are obese(肥胖的)，while 33.4% of urban residents are obese.Including overweight people as well，the comparative totals are 70.8% and 67.1%，the study said.The factors at work could be the “cultural diet” of rural America，as well as the isolation(隔离) that often exists，said the lead researcher，Christie Befort，assistant professor of preventive medicine and public health at the University of Kansas Medical Center.That diet includes “rich homemade foods” with lots of meat and desserts，she said.Rural Americans typically consume more fats than their urban counterparts，the study found.Another factor could be the increased mechanization(机械化) of farm work，Befort said.Older generations showed less difference in weight than younger ones—older farmers would have put in more physical labor，she said.“Although some intervention(介入) research has begun to address obesity among rural adults and families，great attention needs to be focused on widespread effective programs in rural areas，which contain some of the largest medically underserved communities in the nation，” the researchers said.【语篇导读】肥胖症的研究有了新的发现——居住地也是造成肥胖症的重要因素。

2017高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编（124）阅读理解训练(2015·山东省威海市二模)British planning experts are heading to China to advise on building cities that do not damage the environment. They will address mayors on the need to avoid U．S. Model by building dense(稠密的) cities with low-carbon buildings and good public transport. Their visit follows a report warning that the road-based U．S. Model could make climate change impossible to control.Europe's densely-populated cities, with strong public transport links, are held up as an example for China to follow. By good planning and spending a little more, livable new cities could be built with low-carbon infrastructure(基础设施). In China many institutions are taking the climate more seriously than before and the traveling group from Britain's Town and Country Planning Association will meet officials from the Chinese government's economic research agency in a workshop on low-carbon buildings.They will also meet officers in fast-growing Shenyang, which has more than six million inhabitants(居民). On another day they will present their ideas at the National Academy. Several of China's major cities suffer heavy traffic jams. Some of their leaders are now looking for new ideas to make cities more densely-populated, while the mayors of some fast-growing cities are hoping to build in a less energy-consuming way.China also suffers a crisis of agricultural land, so high-density planning has many benefits. Kate Henderson said “As more and more people across the world move from rural to urban areas we must g uarantee our cities grow stably.” This means delivering schools, parks and public transport alongside employment areas and housing. “We look forward to sharing our thinking on how Garden City principles can be applied—both to creating new cities and to renewing existing ones.”文章大意：英国设计专家将来中国为我们建设环保而密集型的城市提供建议。

2016-2017年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语试题江苏卷试卷总评2016-2017年高考英语江苏卷总体上难度适中，紧扣高中英语课程标准的教学要求，对考生在英语听力、词汇、语法、英语知识综合运用、阅读理解、书面表达等知识和能力进行了全面、深入的考查。

稳中有变，重基础、重语境，贴近生活，将知识和能力的考查融为一体；难易结合，体现了英语高考改革的趋势。

听力：听力部分沿用全国卷I的听力，除了Text 10部分语速稍快，前面9段材料语速比较正常，总体难度不算大，和往年持平。

主要考查常用的功能性用语，考查形式以事实细节题为主，辅以情感态度、主旨大意、意图推测、推理判断等题型。

单项选择：难易分明单选部分强调在语境中理解词汇的意思，侧重对词汇和词组的考查。

考点为非谓语动词、定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句、虚拟语气、动词、动词词组、形容词副词、情景交际等。

重视语法基础的同时，侧重熟词生义的考查；两道形容词题目29和34题较简单；第25题考查动词词组，难度较大；27和31题考查时态，侧重具体的语境，弱化了固定句型和时间状语的提示。

完形填空：选材短小精悍，故事性强；首尾呼应，结构紧凑。

题目在具体的语境中考查名词、动词、动词词组和形容词副词。

对词汇的考查侧重单词的深层含义或近义词辨析。

像第44题的transparent和obvious，47题的ear和taste。

46题考查句子之间的逻辑关系；53题与36题是对应关系；54题是原词复现；55题较难把握，需要联系第一段的内容。

这些题目需要考生对句意和句子的逻辑关系有很好的把握。

阅读部分：题量设置沿袭过去两年，难度有所降低阅读部分设题以细节理解题为主，推理判断题为辅。

A篇介绍了一本历史书籍，文章难度不大，可读性强。

第57题考查作者的写作手法，设题较为新颖，不过难度不大。
