【解题策略】议论文在阅读理解中占有相当大的比重。
议论文说理性强,语言庄重,逻辑缜密,重点考查考生的思维能力和判断能力,常用难词、长词和复杂句,给阅读理解带来一定的难度。
从体裁特点看,议论文有夹叙夹议文和议论文两种。
夹叙夹议文文体特点夹叙夹议文所选文章语言地道、寓意深刻、可读性强。
文章常常在平淡的叙述中蕴含着深刻的人生哲理。
文章的显著特点是首句可能在传达一个事件信息或一种社会现象,而后对此进行深入评价,或由此引发一种深入思考,具有记叙与议论的双重性,文情并茂,发人深思。
从内容特点看:夹叙夹议类文章主要有三种类型: 1.先叙述作者的某一个生活经历或见闻,然后针对这一事件发表自己对生活的看法,或揭示生活的真理。
2. 作者先提出一种观点或看法,然后围绕这一观点或看法用具体的事例加以说明,有时也可能是用几个事例从不同的侧面来说明。
3. 提出一种观点或见解,然后用某一事例来阐述这一观点,最后再进一步地总结和升华。
议论文文体特点议论文是一种剖析事物、论述事理、发表意见、提出主张的文体。
从结构特点看:文章通常由论点、论据、论证三部分构成,作者通过摆事实、讲道理、辨是非的方法,来论证某种观点正确与否,肯定或否定某种主张。
即提出问题(引论)--分析问题(本论)一一解决问题(结论)”。
从命题形式看:常见的有细节理解题、推理判断题、主旨大意题、词义猜测题题等题型。
阅读策略1.双管齐下法:从结构和内容两方面同时入手,先通读全文,再区分事实和观点。
1.关注高频词:议论文中出现的高频词,经常就是文章的主题对象。

If we 42 it is a door, they'll want to go outside 43 . It will drive us crazy. The kids apparently know the 44 . But our insisting it's 45 a window has kept them from46 millions of requests to open the door.I hate lying to the kids. One day they'll 47 and discover that everything they've always known about windows is a 48 .I wonder if 49 should always tell the truth no matter the 50 . I have a very strong 51 that the lie we're telling is doing 52 damage to our children. Windows and doors have 53 metaphorical (比喻) meanings. I'm telling them they can't open what they absolutely know is a door. What if later in 54 they come to a metaphorical door, like an opportunity (机会) of some sort, and 55 opening the door and taking the opportunity, they just 56 it and wonder,“What if it isn't a door?”That is,“What if it isn't a 57 opportunity?”Maybe it's an unreasonable fear. But the 58 is that I shouldn't lie to my kids.

When I was young, my mother didn't have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.We need every one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you quit on school—you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country. No one's written your destiny(命运)for you, because you write your own destiny. You make your own future. That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time reading a book.But whatever you decide to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it. I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.

高考阅读体裁篇之议论文 (真题+各地名校试题)--备战2022年高考英语阅读理解专项突破(练习版)
专题五:高考阅读体裁篇备战2022年高考英语阅读理解专项突破考向3 议论文Passage 1 (2021·全国·高考真题)Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the stud y found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”1.What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?A.They're unfair. B.They're conservative.C.They're objective. D.They're strict.2.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?A.They think themselves smart.B.They look up to great thinkers.C.They see gender differences earlier than boys.D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs3.Why are more geniuses known to the public?A.Improved global communication.B.Less discrimination against women.C.Acceptance of victors' concepts.D.Changes in people's social positions.4.What is the best title for the text?A.Geniuses Think Alike B.Genius Takes Many FormsC.Genius and Intelligence D.Genius and LuckPassage 2 (2021·北京·北师大实验中学三模)In 1953, when visiting his daughter’s maths class, the Harvard psycholo gist B.F. Skinner found every pupil learning the same topic in the same way at the same speed. Later, he built his first “teaching machine”, which let children tackle questions at their own pace. Since then, education technology (edtech) has repeated the cycle of hype and flop (炒作和失败), even as computers have reshaped almost every other part of life.Softwares to “personalize” learning can help hundreds of millions of children stuck in miserable classes—but only if edtech supporters can resist the temptation to revive harmful ideas about how children learn. Alternatives have so far failed to teach so many children as efficiently as the conventional model of schooling, where classrooms, hierarchical year-groups, standardized curriculums and fixed timetables are still the typical pattern for most of the world’s nearly 1.5 billion schoolchildren. Under this pattern, too many do not reach their potential. That condition remained almost unchanged over the past 15 years, though billions have been spent on IT in schools during that period.What really matters then? The answer is how edtech is used. One way it can help is through tailor-made instruction. Reformers think edtech can put individual attention within reach of all pupils. The other way edtech can aid learning is by making schools more productive. In California schools, instead of textbooks, pupils have “playlists”, which they use to access online lessons and take tests. The software assesses children’s progress, lightening teachers’ marking load and allowing them to focus on other tasks. A study suggested that children inearly adopters of this model score better in tests than their peers at other schools.Such innovation is welcome. But making the best of edtech means getting several things right. First, “personalized learning” must fo llow the evidence on how children learn. It must not be an excuse to revive pseudoscientific ideas such as “learning styles”: the theory that each child has a particular way of taking in information. This theory gave rise to government-sponsored schemes like Brain Gym, which claimed that some pupils should stretch or bend while doing sums. A less consequential falsehood is that technology means children do not need to learn facts or learn from a teacher—instead they can just use Google. Some educationalists go further, arguing that facts get in the way of skills such as creativity. Actually, the opposite is true. According to studies, most effective ways of boosting learning nearly all relied on the craft of a teacher.Second, edtech must narrow, rather than widen, inequalities in education. Here there are grounds for optimism. Some of the pioneering schools are private ones in Silicon Valley. But many more are run by charter-school groups teaching mostly poor pupils, where laggards (成绩落后者) make the most progress relative to their peers in normal classes. A similar pattern can be observed outside America.Third, the potential for edtech will be realized only if teachers embrace it. They are right to ask for evidence that products work. But skepticism should not turn into irrational opposition. Given what edtech promises today, closed-mindedness has no place in the classroom.5.According to the passage, education technology can ________.A.decrease teachers’ working loadB.facilitate personalized learningC.help standardize curriculumsD.be loved by schoolchildren6.Which example best argues against the underlined sentence in Para. 4?A.The students who are better at memorization tend to be less creative.B.Schools with bans on phones have better results than high-tech ones.C.Shakespeare was trained in grammar but he penned many great plays.D.Lu Xun’s creativity was unlocked after he gave up studying medicine.7.The author believes that edtech functions well only when it is ________.A.at the service of teachingB.limited in use among pupilsC.aimed at narrowing the wealth gapD.in line with students’ learning styles8.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To stress the importance of edtech.B.To introduce the application of edtech.C.To discuss how to get the best out of edtech.D.To appeal for more open-mindedness to edtech.Passage 3 (2021·浙江·台州市书生中学模拟预测)“When I think of England, I think of the queen taking her dogs for walk in the countryside,” says Carsten Haferkamp, a dog-owning German working in London. Data from Tractive, a firm that provides GPS tracking for pets, show that Britons walk their dogs more than their European neighbors do.The British love for dog-walking may have more to do with the walking than the dogs. Britons are big walkers –they came fifth in the world in a study in 2017, the highest in Europe. Dogs provide walkers with company and a purpose, so it may be that walking encourages dog-ownership.But Julien Dugnoille, an expert at Exeter University, suspects dog-walking has a deeper significance. Dogs, he suggests, are a useful aid to a socially awkward nation. “Britons tend to have a chat with strangers and exchange a few jokes and comments about the weather without putting themselves in danger.”A tradition among the British nobles of owning and training dogs also leads Dr Dugnoille to assume thatdog-walking is a way to keep ancient honor. “When people in the park say Max is very well-behaved,” says Dr Dugnoille, “that is a way to show their authority in the art of dog training compared to those dog owners who are not in control of their own dog.”But it’s not just about showing off, in his view. He believes walking with one’s best friend creates a time and space where dogs and humans meet as species and connect as individuals.Still, Britons should not congratulate themselves too much on their behavior towards their dog companions. According to Dr Carri Westgarth of Liverpool University, “People say that a dog needs a walk every day, but they will find re asons why their dog doesn’t need a walk. They’ll say: he’s got company indoors, he’s nervous or he doesn’t like the rain.”9.The queen is mentioned in paragraph 1 to show _______.A.the queen’s love for dogs B.a foreigner’s impression of EnglandC.the British devotion to walking dogs D.the importance of dog-walking for Europeans10.What does Dr Dugnoille most probably agree with?A.Britons see dogs as protectors from danger.B.Dog-walking is related to the British traditional culture.C.Britons prefer to walk rather than walk the dog.D.Dog-walking is a close link between the British and nature.11.Dr Westgarth’s comment on the British dog-walking suggests that_______.A.Britons are proud of dog-walking B.dogs are a good companion for BritonsC.he is doubtful of the British love for dogs D.weather is a popular topic among Britons12.What would be the best title for the text?A.Love Your Dog, Walk Your Dog B.How Do Britons Walk Their Dogs?C.Opinions on Dog-Walking in Britain D.Why Do Britons Love to Walk Dogs?Passage 4 (2021·上海普陀·一模)A few years ago, Charles Barkley got into a lot of trouble for making the observation that sports figures didn't need to be role models. Thousands of fans and professional journalists were cross at this attack on the fundamental principle that the person who jumps highest must aim highest and the person who handles the running back must also be able to deal with life's problems with grace as well.The problem is not that we look to these people for perfection when they take off their uniforms. It's that we expect anyone to be our representatives for perfection. That's stupid and it makes the rest of us down here lazy.I get the importance of having heroes, the people who inspire us to cultivate the best potential within us and nurture our better angels. I personally have many heroes, from my mother, Lucy, to my favorite law professor, Howard. But these are personal contacts, people who have-actually touched my hand and my heart, and who occupy a pedestal(基座)built of my own experiences and aspirations. To look at an athlete or an actress with high salary and demand that he or she match our dreams is not only a waste of time, but it's dangerous. The danger comes in how this type of hero worship dehumanizes both the object of affection and the person who blindly adores. That was Barkley's point, not that we should give public figures a pass for being faulty but that we shouldn't abandon our own moral compasses and look to them for true north.Recently on a television program I participated in, the discussion turned to Kathleen Kane. Someone suggested that the fact that the first female attorney general(首席检察官)in Pennsylvania was really messing things up could have unfortunate consequences for women seeking elected office. I offered the opinion that Kane was unquestionably criticized and that it was not hatred towards woman but incompetence at the root of the attacks. After the show aired, I had people emailing to tell me that I was either a traitor(叛徒)for publicly attacking a fellow female when we need to stand together behind this "role model", or a fool for not going a step further to say that this incompetent lawyer had made it harder for all women to move to the next level.How depressing! Why should the inferior performance of one woman lead to such diverse but passionate views in people? The answer is obvious: Kane has stopped being an attorney general but has instead become The First Female Attorney General. She can't just make a mistake and pay the normal consequences.If we stopped trying to live our lives through the accomplishments of public figures, many of whom look and sound like us, we'd learn how to recognize the heroic character of those we might actually know, and the heroic potential within ourselves. Or, perhaps, the honesty to accept our ordinary humanity.13.Many people were angry with Charles Barkley mainly because________.A.he broke fundamental principles in life B.he was not good enough to be a role modelC.he doubted the perfection of some sports figures D.he thought sports figures could have weaknesses 14.According to Barkley, why is it dangerous to take public figures as heroes?A.Because we may let go of our own moral standards.B.Because an athlete or actress cannot match our dreams.C.Because we blindly admire public figures for their faults.D.Because we shouldn't waste time imitating public figures.15.From the passage we can infer that Kathleen Kane was________.A.unfairly criticized due to being female B.the first female attorney general in the USC.less qualified than the public had expected D.a role model for women seeking elected office16.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Be Our Representatives for Perfection B.Exploration of Our Own Heroic PotentialC.Our Unrealistic Expectation of Public Figures D.Our Conventional Views of Female PoliticianPassage 5 (2021·重庆巴蜀中学二模)While the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决)). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy(欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future. 17.What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?A.It brings people inner peace.B.It contributes to problem-solving.C.It reduces the possibility of crises.D.It deepens understanding of music.18.What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?A.It celebrates freedom and unity.B.It aims to show crises and chaos.C.It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.D.It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.19.What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?A.Leaving things as they are.B.Making a choice between them.C.Separating them from each other.D.Engaging them in a conversation.20.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.How COVID-19 changes artB.Essentials of Symphony No. 9C.Moving artfully through crisesD.Joy in the eyes of BeethovenPassage 6 (2021·辽宁·大连二十四中一模)Imagine possessing something that you loved so much. Imagine what it would feel like if you lost it. While that item may be something as simple as a toy, you would still feel very upset, but you could replace it with a new one. Now imagine losing something that you depend on for survival and cannot be replaced. That is what it would be like if we lost the natural environment around us.Firstly, I believe the environment should be protected because it supports human life. One of the largest examples is that we get all of our food and drinks from the environment. If the environment were to be destroyed beyond revival, then the human race would be over in months. Scientists have to find another planet with similar conditions to the Earth, and if it's found, we don’t have the technology to get to that planet in time.Secondly, I believe that the environment serves as an amazing educational tool for students. When I was in second grade, I had an absolute interest in animals. When we had a field trip to the Daggerwing Nature Center, I was very excited. When we got there, I could hardly believe what I was seeing. There was a bridge to get to the main building, and under the bridge was a small swamp (沼泽) with turtles, fish, and my personal favorite, alligators. I was so surprised that I almost ran into the tour guide. We walked into the building and saw various animals in their habitats. I was so inspired by this visit. Six years later, I have taken an animal behavior class for three weeks. Meeting by chance with the environment can inspire people, and if preserved, it will continue to inspire people.In conclusion, the environment is so valuable because it can't be replaced, keeps us alive, and serves as a great educational tool.21.The first paragraph leads to the theme of the text by________________.A.describing a process. B.presenting differences.C.analyzing causes. D.showing similarities.22.The underlined word “revival” in paragraph 2 refers to_________________.A.health. B.recovery.C.range. D.survival.23.What's the function of paragraph 3?A.To express the writer’s absolute interest in animals.B.To introduce the Daggerwing Nature Centers scenery.C.To show the environment can inspire and educate people.D.To prove the subject he has chosen is promising.24.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Why the Environment Is So Important?B.Which Planet Can Replace the Earth?C.How People Should Protect the Environment?D.What People Can Do to Stop Pollution?Passage 7 (2021·江苏·盐城中学模拟预测)On May 1, 1926, Ford Motor Company became one of the first American companies to adopt a five-day,40-hour week. It was something workers and labor unions had been calling for. However, the five-day workweek was to increase productivity. With more time and money, workers were expected to buy and use the products they were making. Manufacturers soon followed Ford’s lead, and the Monday-to-Friday workweek became standard practice.Since then, everything has changed but the hours. Many people worked longer, which severely influenced health and well-being, as well as the environment. Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Women gradually made up 42 percent of the world’s full-time workforce. Later, technology made lots of work unnecessary, with computers and robots doing many tasks previously performed by humans.Well into the 21st century, we continue to work the same long hours as 20th century laborers, using up more ofEarth’s supply to produce more goods that we must keep working to buy, use and replace in a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption. It’s time to pause and consider be tter ways to live like shifting fromfossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected.The UK New Economics Foundation argues that a standard 21-hour workweek would address a number of interconnected problems: overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life. Economic systems that require constant growth on a finite (有限的) planet make no sense. It’s time for a change in our economic thinking. 25.Why did Henry Ford shorten the workweek?A.To increase efficiency.B.To cut workers’ salaries.C.To end conflicts with workers.D.To create more job opportunities.26.What happened in the workforce after World War II?A.The oldest male had to work longer.B.Technology let people work more flexibly.C.Job positions were created due to technology.D.Full-time vacancies were filled by more women.27.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.Companies shouldn’t pro duce more than people can use.B.The 21st century has witnessed the longest working hours.C.The cycle of longer workweek and consumption should be changed.D.Longer workweek definitely leads to stronger consumption capability.28.Which would be possible if a 21-hour workweek should be adopted?A.Companies would be closed down.B.Economic growth would be stopped.C.Economic systems would break down.D.People would be encouraged to enjoy life.Passage 8 (2021·广东·汕头市潮阳实验学校一模)A simple piece of clotheslines hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and their neighbors. On one side stand those who see clothes dryers as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the environment. As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the "what-I-can- do environmentalism”But on the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. They have persuaded Homeowners Associations(HOAs) across the US to stop outdoor clotheslines, because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. This has led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws be passed to protect the choice to use clotheslines. So far, only three states have laws to protect clotheslines.Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-friendly person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But several days ago, the HOA in North Carolina told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about his clothesline. The Recks paid no attention to the warning and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard "Many people say they are environmentally friendly but they don't take matters in their own hands," says Reck. The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors complain.North Carolina lawmakers say that stopping clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods.

It’s a striking num ber for a city with a population of about 850,000, and it was enough for Airbnb to win a major victory in local elections, as San Francisco voters struck down a debatable rule that would have placed time restrictions and other regulations on short-term rental services.The company fiercely opposed the measure, Proposition F, with a nearly $10 million advertising campaign. It also contacted its San Franciscan users with messages urging them to vote against Proposition F.Most people think of Airbnb as a kind of couch-surfing app. The service works for one-night stays on road trips and longer stays in cities, and it often has more competitive pricing than hotels. It’s a textbook example of the “sharing economy”, but not everyone is a fan.The app has had unintended consequences in San Francisco. As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last year, a significant amount of renting on Airbnb is not in line with the company’s image: middle-class families putting up a spare room to help make ends meet. Some users have taken advantage of the service, using it to turn their multiple properties into vacation rentals or even full-time rentals. Backers of Proposition F argued that this trend takes spaces off the conventional, better-regulated housing market and contributes to rising costs.“The fact is, widespread abuse of short-term rentals is taking much needed housing off the market and harming our neighborhoods,” said ShareBetter SF, a group that supported Prop osition F. Hotel unions have protested the company’s practice s in San Francisco and other cities, saying that it creates an illegal hotel system.San Francisco is in the middle of a long-term, deeply rooted housing crisis that has seen the cost of living explode. Actually, explode is a generous term. The average monthly rent for an apartment is around $4, 000. Located on a narrow outcropping of land overlooking the bay, San Francisco simply doesn’t have enough space to accommodate the massive inflow of young, high-salaried tech employees flocking to Silicon Valley.As the Los Angeles Times reported, some San Francisco residents supported the measure simply because it seemed like a way to check a big corporation. Opponents of Proposition F countered that the housing crisis runs much deeper, and that passing the rule would have discouraged a popular service while doing little to solve thecity’s existing problems.33.The intention of Proposition F is to ________.A.place time limits in local election. B.set limits on short-term rental.C.strike down a controversial rule. D.urge users to vote against Airbnb.34.What is the negative consequence of Airbnb on San Francisco?A.It shrinks the living space of middle-class families.B.Users are taken advantage of by the service financially.C.It makes the house market more competitive.D.It indirectly leads to high house rental price.35.The housing crisis in San Francisco results from ________.A.explosion of the living cost B.its geographic characteristicsC.generosity of local enterprises D.inflow of migrant population36.The a uthor’s attitude toward Proposition F is ________.A.objective B.supportiveC.negative D.indifferentPassage 10 (2021·湖北·巴东一中一模)Growing up, we are constantly reminded that young people are heavily affected by technology. We are the “antisocial club”, t hose who prefer to text our friends in the same room rather than make eye contact with them. And even though never-ending studies reveal to us the extent of our social media addiction, we should at least consider that it’s not only our young people’s probl em any more.There’s the rise of the Instagram mums, who like to post an abundance of cute baby pictures, share their mom feelings along the way and show their wonderful lifestyles. They are the so-called “Facebook mum generation”, a growing group of parents that like to overshare.While all of this might be fine, and even a little humorous, new research suggests that parents’ technology addiction is negatively affecting their children’s behavior. According to the study, 40% of mothers and 32% of fathers have admitted having some sort of phone addiction. This has led to a significant fall in verbal interactions within families and even a decline in mothers’ encouraging their children.。

议论文——2024届高考英语高考阅读理解文体分类练学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Underwater travel is difficult and dangerous, but many people have to stay deep under the ocean. Thus, humans have come up with a few designs of vehicles to move around under the ocean. But what if there was a better way to travel?Hilary Bart-Smith, an engineer at the University of Virginia, thinks a vehicle that travels like a manta ray (魔鬼鱼) would be able to operate for long periods at sea. Manta rays which can grow up to 29 feet long are among the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Different from animals and people pushing against water, manta rays swim by moving through the water with wing-like movements of their fins (鳍) . Efficiency means using less energy to move farther.Bart-Smith and other engineers at the University of Virginia had to find out what manta rays looked like on the inside to better understand how they move. They took X-rays to find out how a manta ray's fins are built. They found that a web of cartilage (软骨) stretches across each fin.Once the engineers knew how a manta ray's fin was constructed, they could build one of their own. They made a long row of metal struts with many hinges to imitate the manta ray's web of cartilage. The engineers put their design inside a flexible cover, shaped like a manta ray's fin. Then they tested it in the university swimming pool. They were happy to see that it swam just like a manta ray in the ocean.Engineers and scientists are still learning and experimenting with how to imitate these amazing animals. For now, engineers study their movements and learn from the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Perhaps someday engineers will be able to build manta ray robots that are big enough to transport people.1.How do manta rays swim?A.By moving like birds.B.By swimming like humans.C.By swimming like other fishes.D.By pushing against water like animals. 2.What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs?A.Manta rays look like travel vehicles.B.Manta rays are the fastest swimmers.C.Manta rays can grow at least 29 feet long.D.Manta rays'fins consist of a web of cartilage.3.Why do the engineers study manta rays?A.To learn about their habits.B.To control manta ray robots.C.To protect marine creatures.D.To design undersea vehicles.4.What's the author's attitude towards the research?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Doubtful.D.Objective.People tend to pay less attention to tasks when working alongside a robot, according to research that found evidence of "social loafing", where team members work less hard if they think others will cover for them.Researchers at the Technical University of Berlin said people come to see robots as part of their team. Where they think a colleague or the technology performs particularly well, or where they think their own contribution would not be appreciated, people tend to take a more laid-back approach."Teamwork is a mixed blessing, "said Dietlind Helene Cymek (DHC) , the first author of the study. "Working together can motivate people to perform well but it can also lead to a loss of motivation because the individual contribution is not as visible. We were interested in whether we could also find such motivational effects when the team partner is a robot."The team tested their hypothesis by asking a group of workers to check the quality of a series of tasks. The workers were all asked to carry out checks for errors on circuit boards (电路板) . Half of them were told the tasks were also performed by a robot. While they did not work directly with the robot, named Panda, those people had seen it and were able to hear it operating.Their activity was monitored by the researchers, who blurred out the images of the boards the workers received, only showing them an image they could check once they actively opened it.Initially, they said they found no statistical difference in the time the two groups-those who were told they were working with a robot and those who were not-spent inspecting the circuit boards, or in the area they searched for errors.However, when the researchers investigated the participants' error rates, they found those knowing Panda's presence were catching fewer defects after they had seen the robot had successfully flagged many errors. They said this could reflect a "looking but not seeing" effect, where people engage less once they feel a colleague or resource is reliable.While participants who were asked to rate their own performance thought they werepaying an equivalent amount of attention, the researchers felt that subconsciously they had begun to assume Panda had picked up defects well.5.Why do people pay less attention to tasks when working with a robot?A.They see the robot as their colleague.B.They think the robot can cover all tasks.C.They believe their performance will be appreciated.D.They feel unvalued about their personal contribution.6.What does DHC mean by saying "Teamwork is a mixed blessing"?A.Teamwork is of great help for workers.B.Teamwork can improve work efficiency.C.Teamwork involves different kinds of weaknesses.D.Teamwork has both advantages and disadvantages.7.What did the workers need to do during the researchers' test?A.They need to blur out the images of the circuit boards.B.They need to check errors on circuit boards with robotsC.They need to see and hear how the robots were operating.D.They need to monitor the robots to check the quality of circuit boards.8.Which of the following can best describe the procedure of the study?A.Group→Instruct→Monitor→RateB.Question→Detect→Demonstrate→CollectC.Monitor→Group→Investigate→RateD.Monitor→Investigate→Reflect→InstructInterspecies was once a technical term used in science to describe how one species got along with another. Now it is a word of more consequence: it arouses the new connections between humans and non-humans that are being made possible by technology. In Ways of Being, James Bridle, a British artist and technology writer, explores what this means for understanding the non-human intelligence on Earth.Mr Bridle makes it clear that three kinds of minds are now interacting: humans, non-humans and machines. Using artificial intelligence (AI), machines in the future will have the capability to interpose(使介入) themselves as translators between humans and other biological life forms.It is true that profit is the main motive for advances in AI; as yet nature does not get muchof a look-in, and non-human intelligence goes unexplored outside zoology departments. Computing is as focused on humans as ever, even as climate change and biodiversity-loss suggest it should devote much greater attention to other species.The first step towards an interspecies future, Mr Bridle argues, is showing more appreciation for other forms of intelligence. To some extent, this is already happening. For example, through films and other initiatives many people now know that octopuses(章鱼) have advanced and strange intelligence. The next step, Mr Bridle declares, is recognizing that people live in a "more-than-human" world. Other forms of intelligence have developed from a common evolutionary base, and they overlap(重叠) in ways that science is just beginning to discover.Ways of Being would have benefited from sharper editing. Yet, in making clear the patience, imagination and humility required to better know and protect other forms of intelligence on Earth, he has made an admirable contribution to the dawning of the interspecies age. 9.Which of the following best illustrates the term "interspecies"?A.A wolf hunts a rabbit.B.A robot does housework.C.A lady walks her dog.D.A boy records a video for squirrels.10.What does AI lay emphasis on nowadays?A.Biodiversity.B.Other species.C.Humans.D.Climate change. 11.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The characteristics of species evolution.B.Expectations for the future development of AI.C.Suggestions on future exploration of interspecies.D. The importance of appreciation for other forms of intelligence.12.Which word best describes the author's attitude to Ways of Being?A.Skeptical.B.Favorable.C.Tolerant.D.Conservative.Steam trains paved the way for modern-day transportation, but just how much do you know about them?The roots of steam trains can be traced back to the 18th century when the Scottish engineer James Watt improved steam engine technology. Watt’s improvements significantly enhanced the efficiency of steam engines. This breakthrough paved the way for the application of steam power in various industries, marking the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. As the 19th century started, George Stephenson used the power of steam to power locomotives (火车头), telling the age of steam-powered transportation.Steam trains played a vital role in transforming the world into a connected network of nations. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in the United States in 1869 marked a historic moment, as steam locomotives linked the East and West coasts, reducing travel time and expanding economic, opportunities.Similarly, the Orient Express in Europe became a symbol of luxury and international travel, carrying passengers from Paris to Istanbul in a quick way. The rhythmic sound of wheels on rails echoed (回响) through diverse landscapes, from the dry deserts of Australia to the snowy expanses of Siberia, as steam trains formed paths of connectivity across continents. During times of war, the role of steam trains extended to soldier transportation.While steam trains led the railway landscape for over a century, the mid-20th century witnessed the arrival of electric and diesel locomotives, claiming greater efficiency and lower operational costs, and signaling a transformative shift.As steam trains were not mainstream transportation, enthusiasts worldwide have preserved and restored steam locomotives, ensuring that these classic engine s continue to attract new generations with their nostalgic (怀旧的) charm, and that their stories continue to be told for ages to come.For Heritage railways, they dedicate to the restoration and operation of classic steam locomotives. From the Bluebell Railway in England to the Strasburg Rail Road in the United States, these living museums allow modern-day travelers to experience the magic of steam travel. Riding the polished carriages and hearing the distinctive whistle, visitors experience a sensory voyage, connecting with a time when steam trains were the heartbeat of progress and adventure.13.What marks the beginning of the Industrial Revolution?A. Rapid expansion of railways.B. Advance of steam locomotives.C. Great efficiency of transportation.D. The use of steam power in industries.14.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?A. Summarize the previous paragraphs.B. Add more facts to the role of steam trains.C. Share a historic moment.D. Introduce the Orient Express.15.How do Heritage railways react to the decline of steam trains?A. They welcome the arrival of electric engines.B. They insist on using steam trains.C. They offer a journey back in time.D. They prefer to improve steam engines.16.Where is the text probably taken from?A. A travel guide.B. A book review.C. A history paper.D. A newspaper report.Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman builders built thick concrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and Chinese builders constructed walls against foreign enemies.A growing number of scientists have been studying materials since a long time ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice and beer. These unexpected materials can have the ability to get stronger over time. Figuring out how to copy these features can have real impacts today. While some of our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall buildings and heavy structures, it cannot compete with the durability of these ancient materials.Many scientists have turned to the Romans. Starting around 200 BC, the Roman Empire was building concrete structures that have stood the test of time. Even in places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago. They think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. That the ancient materials have an unusual power to restore themselves and “cure” cracks (裂缝) when they form is the most shocking for them. Exactly how is not yet clear, but scientists are starting to find the reasons.Today’s builders cannot just copy the ancient processes. Even though Roman concrete lasted a long time, it couldn’t hold up heavy buildings. Instead, researchers are trying to take some of th e ancient materials and add them into modern mixes. People don’t need to make things last quite as long as the Romans did. If we add 50 or 100 years to concrete’s lifespan, we’ll surely require less pulling down, less maintenance and less material in the l ong run. 17.What were the mentioned Roman and Chinese buildings both used for?A. Travel.B. Defence.C. Soldier training.D. Seawater control.18.Which word can best describe the ancient buildings?A. Long-lasting.B. Energy-efficient.C. Delicate.D. Flexible.19.What surprises the scientists most about the ancient building materials?A. Their large cracks.B. Their clear concrete.C. Their internal structures.D. Their self-repairing ability.20.What is the author’s attitude to the future concrete?A. Tolerant.B. Expectant.C. Suspicious.D. Indifferent.O'Brien and Samantha Kassirer from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University conducted two experiments to determine the levels of people's happiness when they gave away money or when they spent it on themselves.The first experiment involved 96 college students receiving $5 every day for five days. They had to spend the money on the same thing each day. Researchers randomly asked the participants to either spend the money on themselves or give it to someone else, like through a tip or an online donation to a charity. The participants ended each day by reflecting on their spending experience and their overall level of happiness. Regardless of how they spent the money, everyone started off with roughly the same level of self-reported happiness. Those who spent the money on themselves, however, experienced a decline in happiness over the five-day period. The people who gave the money to someone else maintained their happiness levels.The second experiment conducted online, involved 502 people playing 10 rounds of a word puzzle game. When the players won in a round, they received 5 cents. The participants could either keep the 5 cents or donate it to a charity. After each round, people rated the level of happiness they felt after winning a round. As with the first study, those who gave away the money reported a longer stretch of happiness than those who kept the money for themselves. As for why people who used the money for themselves aren't happy for so long, the researchers explain that focusing on an outcome—like getting paid—can diminish the experience. When people focus on an action—like giving to charity—they concentrate more on the act itself as a joyful event, explaining why happiness stays more consistent among those who spend the money on others. "If you want to sustain happiness over time, our new research shows that repeated giving, even in the same way to the same people, may make you continue to feel much fresher and more enjoyable," O'Brien said.So the next time you think about spending money on yourself, maybe give it to someone in need instead. Your happiness will thank you.21.What is the finding of the experiments?A.People get more happiness when giving money to others.B.Those who give money to others like to do it online.C.Your level of happiness can be influenced by many factors.D.Those who win rewards are willing to give money to a charity.22.According to O'Brien, what is the secret of maintaining happiness?A.Saving enough money.B.Trying something new.C.Keeping on giving.D.Balancing rest and work.23.Which of the following shows the correct structure of the whole text?A. B. C. D.24.What is the best title for the text?A.Money isn't the key to happinessB.It is better to give than to receiveC.Happiness depends upon ourselvesD.People spend their money differently参考答案1.答案:A解析:细节理解题。

高考英语一轮复习阅读理解之议论文解题技巧点拨 (含答案解析)
高考英语一轮复习议论文解题技巧知识点1:议论文概述1.文体概述议论文也就是说理性的文章, 通常由论点、论据、论证过程和结论组成。
作者往往根据一些很普通的事实,通过严谨的思维,缜密的推理得出一个具有普遍性或指导性的观点。
该类文章逻辑性强,命题往往从事实的有关细节以及文章的主旨或作者的表达意图等方面着手,考查我们的思维能力和判断能力。
2.语篇特点为了突出写作目的, 作者常在文章开头就提出论点, 以便读者对作者观点有一个比较清晰的了解。
提出论点之后, 作者就会提供论据来论证论点是否正确。
作者可以用来论证的方法较多, 最为常见的方法是正反论证, 这样的论证思路清晰, 观点明确, 说服力强, 震憾度高。
论证结束之后, 作者常就论点是否正确提出明确结论, 它体现作者的写作目的和文章的现实意义。
也就是说, 议论文一般会按提出问题、分析问题、解决问题的逻辑顺序来安排层次。
3.主要题型从近几年的高考英语试题来看,议论文类阅读理解的命题类型主要有:1)主旨题:考查考生对于议论文基本观点的理解,是主旨题设题的目的。
做这种类型的题目要弄清作者想说什么,即作者写此文章的目的。
2)推理判断题:这种题型的特点是以事实为依据,但其结果又绝不是事实本身。
它主要测试考生的逻辑思维能力,侧重于推理。
3)细节题:细节题也是议论文试题的主要题型。
这种题要求考生理解文中的具体观点和具体事实。
4)词义理解题。
英语词语的词意非常丰富,语境不同,词意也不同,要专心揣摩在上下文中第 1 页共18 页的含义。
4. 解题技巧第一,抓论点、寻论据。
阅读议论文我们要抓住论题,即作者提出的观点、给出的例证及最后得出的结论。
抓住了论题,我们就把握了中心。
第二,注重文章结构,理清文章脉络。
把握文章结构,有利于对文章大意的理解。
从论证方法上讲,常见的议论文结构有以下两类:1. Put forward a question →Analyze the question →Solve the question这就是“提出问题、分析问题、解决问题”的过程。

高三英语阅读理解专题三---议论文带答案高三英语阅读理解专题三------议论文1文体特点:写法一:正方(甲方),反方(乙方),我认为……写法二:提出问题,分析问题,解决问题写法三:论点,理由(证据),重申论点。
这是高考中常考的体裁,内容涵盖文化、历史、文学、科学和教育等各个方面。
在这类体裁的文章中把握好论点、论据和论证很重要。
此类体裁的文章中有关主旨大意和推理判断的题目会较多,这也是得分比较难的题型。
在阅读这类文章的时候,我们要认真把握作者的态度,领悟弦外之音,从而更好地依据文章的事实做出合理的推断。
解题方法:1.把握文章的论点、论据和论证。
此外,还要把握文章的结构和语言。
2. 互推法:在议论之后,总会再列举一些具体的例子来支持观点;或在一些例子之后,总要抒发一些议论。
考生在理解议论时,可以借助文中所给的实例,从而在形象的例子中推理出抽象的议论;或从议论中推理理解具体例子的深刻含义,相互推断。
3. 推理法:推理的结论一定是原文有这层意思,但没有明确表达的。
推理要根据文章的字面意思,通过语篇、段落和句子之间的逻辑关系,各个信息所暗示和隐含的意义,作者的隐含意等对文章进行推理判断。
考生要由文字的表层信息挖掘出文章的深层含义,要能透过现象看本质。
主旨大意题解题方法:一、题型解读及思维导向:主旨大意题是高考阅读理解中常考的题型之一,主要考查考生把握全文主题和理解中心思想的能力。
通常以概括文章或段落大意以及选择标题等形式出现。
主旨大意题是阅读理解题中的高难度题,能够拉开考生的分数差距,所以此类题目在高考试题中具有很好的选拔作用,属于能力型题目。
主旨大意题一般分为三类,即标题归纳类、文章大意类和段落大意类。
二、命题区间及读文关注点1.文首、段首、段尾句:一般来说,阅读文章中第一段首句往往是强开弱收型文章中心思想的表达处;第二段首句或第一段尾句往往是转开弱收型文章的主题句所在;而有时每段的段首句、段尾句是该段的段落主题句。

高三英语突破议论文 人教版
高三英语突破议论文人教版一怎样确定一篇文章是议论文议论文是一种剖析事物、论述事理、发表见解或提出主张的说理性文章。
议论文的目的不仅是客观的解释事物,还力图说服读者相信并接受某一观点。
英语议论文与英语说明文还是有一定的区别的。
首先,英语说明文主要是对提出的主题进行“说明”和“阐述”,并不进行正反评判和推理,也不强迫读者接受作者的观点;而英语议论文主要是就某一主题,在摆出正反两方面观点的基础上,通过论证、推理辩论等手段,试图让读者最终接受作者对这一主题的某种观点。
尽管有时也不一定非常明确的交待正反观点,但力图通过推理让读者赞同自己的观点始终是英语议论文的主要目的。
怎样确定一篇文章是议论文?就看是否以表达观点为主。
表达观点为主的就是议论文。
注意:有些文章在论证观点时用故事作为论据,因此要确定观点是否是主要内容。
二阅读议论文应该注意以下几点:1主题句和主题词,并对文章的结构作快速、简单的预测。
2作者往往通过关联词的运用来建立句与句之间的联系、有效地组织段落。
诸如since(既然),now that(既然),therefore(因而),in that case(在那种情况下),so(所以),It follows that…(因而…),If…,we may conclude that …(如果……,我们可以这样下结论……),Should it be the case (如果是这样的话……),I don’t want to…,but…(我并不想……),It is true that…,but…(诚然……但是……),Even if …(即使……)等有辩论和推理含义的连接和过渡词语与结构,以增强语言的准确性和逻辑性。
所以,对关联词的准确判断是至关重要的。
三议论文阅读重点议论文重点是要找出what, why。
英语论议论文的主旨通常在语篇开头,少部分在篇尾,偶尔在篇中。
一般要求我们中学生阅读的议论文,大多主旨在语篇开头。
高考英语阅读理解体裁专项突破——议论文
09二轮专题1:阅读理解体裁专项突破之四——议论文画川高级中学王文华【文体特色】议论文的目的是"说服",那么作者力图使读者同意并支持其观点,或驳斥某些观点。
议论文的论证方法主要采用两种:演绎法和归纳法。
演绎法是指从一般陈述开始,最后给出具体、特殊的结论,是一种从一般到个别的推理方法;归纳法是指从个别实例出发,最后得出一般性结论,是一个从个别到一般的推论方法,在实考中,采用演绎法推理的超过四分之三。
【阅读技巧】阅读议论文我们要抓住论题、抓住作者提出的观点、给出的例证及最后得出的结论。
抓住了论题、抓住了观点,我们就把握了中心,再结合作为论据的诸多事例和理由之间以及它们和观点/结论之间的内在联系,我们就能理解文章的结构。
因此,阅读议论文的关键是:抓论题、抓观点。
看看下面一篇例文:(05 江苏卷E段)The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger .Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe, it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life. The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings: in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science—a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protectionof the environment.Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind.The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons, Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.William Shakespeare said.“The web of our life is of a mingled yarn(纱线), good and ill together. “The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities—science seems to prove what Shakespeare said.But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?解析:作者在第一段提出论题:The progress in science caused the changes in the twentieth century. 接下来,第二、三段作者提出论据:The progress in science has brought us advantages and the continuation of the progress will surely result in even greater advantages.第四段作者从另一方面提出论据:The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind.再接下来,按行文结构作者应该作出结论,但作者在第五段并没有直接说出不言自明的结论(We should separate the good from the ill.),而是用了几个问句:But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war? 这样可引起读者对结论的深入思考,引起读者的重视。

议论文阅读理解突破议论文是英语中的重要文体。
从近几年各地高考英语试题来看,议论文在阅读理解中占有相当大的比重。
议论文说理性强,语言庄重,逻辑缜密,常用难词、长词和复杂句,给我们的阅读理解带来一定难度。
很有必要对议论文的文体特点及解题规律作一探索,实现突破。
一、议论文的语篇特点议论文是运用逻辑推理和证明来阐述某一观点、看法和主张的文体。
这类文章或从正面提出某种见解,或驳斥别人的错误观点,以说服读者同意自己的观点为主要目的。
议论文一般有论点、论据和论证三个要素。
论点是议论文的核心,即中心思想,是论据和论证的服务对象。
论据是作者所引用的用以支持和证明论点的材料,这些材料可以是名人名言、事实例证或统计数据等。
论证是作者组织、运用论据的手法。
二、议论文阅读理解的主要题型及对策从近几年的高考试题来看,议论文阅读理解的命题类型主要有:1.主旨大意题【设题方式】(1)The text is mainly about ___________.(2)What does the author want to tell us most?(3)What can be the best title for the text?(4)What is the main idea of the passage?(5)What can we learn from the last paragraph?【对策】做好此类试题,关键是迅速找准文章或段落的主题句。
这就必须对议论文常见论证方法作一了解。
(1)归纳法,即从分析个别事例入手,找出事物的共同特点,得出结论、看法或道理。
(2)演绎法,即从一般论断出发,对个别事物进行说明、分析后得出结论。
(3)驳论法,即先列出错误的观点,然后加以逐条批驳,反证自己观点的正确性。
另外,议论文在语言表达上经常使用一些有辩论、推理等含义的词汇和句型,如:however, take …for example, thus, therefore, consequently(因此),accordingly(因此),It follows that…(因而),…, but it would be far better if we …(如果我们……,那会更好),I am of the opinion that …(我认为……),It’s clear that …等。
我们可以通过这些关键词迅速把握作者的写作意图。
例1(2020天津卷D篇,有删减)To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human. …These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for having made a mistake. They naturally look for someone else who could be responsible for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的).”This saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite—find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity.1. What does the author want to tell us most?(原创题)A. to make as few mistakes as possible.B. to think seriously about our wrongdoings.C. to bear responsibility for our mistakes.D. to pass the blame on to someone else.解析:这是一篇典型的驳论文。
作者先列出一个错误观点,即To blame the otherguy is even more human,然后进行反驳。
最后,通过关键词however一转折,说出了作者的观点,即为自己的错误承担责任是成熟的标志。
因此,选择C项。
2.推理判断题【设题方式】(1)It can be inferred from the passage that …(2)What does the author imply by saying …(3)The author’s attitude toward … is ________.(4)What’s the author’s opinion about …?【对策】推理判断题主要包括推断题、结论题和观点态度题。
(1)推断题:该类试题的正确选项往往采用同义词、近义词替换原文相关词汇或正话反说的方法设项。
所以抓住关键词往往是应对推断题的有效方法。
(2)结论题和观点态度题:通过段落或文章中心句把握作者的写作意图,结合分析文章措词,特别是表达情感、态度和观点的词语,在此基础上推断出作者的“言外之意”和未言明的思想内涵。
例2(2020年山东卷B篇,有删减,保留原题号)Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2020.I t now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.62. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ___________.A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of super marketsD. the fact of packaging overuse解析:作者在第一段分析论证之后用了一个关键句式“…, but it would be far better if we …”引出了论点:我们与其回收利用废品,倒不如先不要过度包装。
第二段用统计数字作为论据来证明上述论点。
因此选择D项。
例3(2020年天津卷D篇,有删减,保留原题号)Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if a good excuse is “good”even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?54. What is the author’s opinion about a good excuse?A. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.B. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.C.A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.D. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.解析:这是一篇驳论文。
在第二段中作者用了两个疑问句和一个否定句,对“a good excuse”的怀疑态度体现地淋漓尽致。
因此选择D项。
3.句子理解题【设题方式】(1)What can we infer from the underlined sentence?(2)What does the underlined part mean?(3)The underlined sentence implied that ____________.这是近几年常出现的一个题型。
