2018高考英语阅读理解真题大全(附详解)
2018高考英语阅读理解真题大全（附详解）1.Summer ActivitiesStudents should read the list with their parents/careers, and select two activities they would like to do. Forms will be available in school and online for them to indicate their choices and return to school. Befo re choices are finalised, parents/careers will be asked to sign to confirm their child’s choices.（1）Which activity will you choose if you want to go camping?A.OUT.B.WBP.C.CRF.D.POT.（2）What will the students do on Tuesday with Mrs. Wilson?A.Travel to London.B.See a parade and fireworks.C.Tour central Paris.D.Visit the WWI battlefields.（3）How long does Potty about Potter last?A.Two days.B.Four days.C.Five days.D.One week.2.Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen b ananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.（1）What does the author seem to like about cherries?A.They contain protein.B.They are high in vitamin A.C.They have a pleasant taste.D.They are rich in antioxidants.（2）Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A.To make them smell better.B.To keep their colour.C.To speed up their ripening.D.To improve their nutrition.（3）What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A.A dessert.B.A drink.C.A container.D.A machine.（4）From which is the text probably taken?A.A biology textbook.B.A health magazine.C.A research paper.D.A travel brochure.3.Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report’s key findings, “the propor tion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read. As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.（1）What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A.Children’s reading habits.B.Quality of children’s books.C.Children’s after-class activities.D.Parent-child relationships.（2）Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"?A.In paragraph 2.B.In paragraph 3.C.In paragraph 4.D.In paragraph 5.（3）Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A.E-books are of poor quality.B.It could be a waste of time.C.It may harm children’s health.D.E-readers are expensive.（4）How should parents encourage their children to read more?A.Act as role models for them.B.Ask then to write book reports.C.Set up reading groups for them.D.Talk with their reading class teachers.4.We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts sa y it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. ＂Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,＂ he explains. ＂The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.＂In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. ＂It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,＂ says Dunn. ＂But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.＂Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. ＂Small talk is the basis of good manners,＂ he says.（1）What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.Addiction to smartphones.B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C.Absence of communication between strangers.D.Impatience with slow service.（2）What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A.Showing good manners.B.Relating to other people.C.Focusing on a topic.D.Making business deals.（3）What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A.It improves family relationships.B.It raises people’s confidence.C.It matters as much as a formal talk.D.It makes people feel good.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.Conversation CountsB.Ways of Making Small TalkC.Benefits of Small TalkD.Uncomfortable Silence5.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Holker Garden Festival.C. National Garden Day.D. Winter Market.BCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.4. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.25. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.6. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.7. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.CWhile famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to usetraditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention3thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said."Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, " he said."Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, " said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.8. Wang’s wi nning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.A. following the latest world trendB. getting international recognitionC. working harder than ever beforeD. relying on foreign architects9. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A. Its hilly environment.B. Its large size.C. Its unique style.D. Its diverse functions.10. What made Wang’s architectural design a success?A. The mixture of different shapes.B. The balance of East and West.C. The use of popular techniques.D. The harmony of old and new.11. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A. Spread them to the world.B. Preserve them at museums.C. Teach them in universities.D. Recreate them in practice.DAdults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more4when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.z.x.xkI found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金）(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.12. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. The more, the better.B. Enough is enough.C. More money, more worries.D. Earn more and spend more.13.What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?A. Saving up for her holidayB. Raising money for a poor girlB. Adding the money to her fund D. Giving the money to a sick mother14. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?A. To try out an ideaB. To show a parent's loveC. To train his attentionD. To help him start a hobby15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Take It or Leave ItB. A Lesson from KidsC. Live More with LessD.

Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In myfirst P.E. class, the teacher required us to run lapsand then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well.

The team left 100 wax worms ona commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. Toconfirm that the worms’chewing alone was notresponsible for the polyethylene breakdown, theresearchers made some worms into paste (糊状物)and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass—apparentlybroken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, saysthe worms’ability to break down their everyday food —beeswax—also allows themto break down plastic.“Wax is a complex mixture, butthe basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well,”she explains,“The wax worm evolved a method or system tobreak this bond.”Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at theUniversity of Tennessee, who was not involved inthe study, says it is not surprising that suchworms can break down polyethylene. Butcompared with previous studies, she finds thespeed of breaking down in this one exciting. Thenext step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify thecause of the breakdown. Is it anenzymeproduced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findingsmight one day help employ the enzyme to breakdown plastics in landfills. But she expects usingthe chemical in some kind of industrial process—not simply“millions of worms thrown on topof the plastic.”43. What can we learn about the worms in thestudy?A. They take plastics as their everyday food.B. They are newly evolved creatures.C. They can consume plastics.D. They wind up in landfills.44. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next stepof the study is to.A. identity other means of the breakdownB. find out the source of the enzymeC. confirm the research findingsD. increase the breakdown speed45. It can be inferred from the last paragraphthat the chemical might.A. help to raise wormsB. help make plastic bagsC. be used to clean the oceansD. be produced in factories in future46. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain a study method on worms.B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.C. To present a way to break down plastics.D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.答案:43-46 CBDC2018北京卷阅读理解DPreparing Cities for Robot Cars The possibility of self-driving robot cars has oftenseemed like a futurist’s dream, years away frommaterializing in the real world. Well, the future isapparently now. The California Department ofMotor Vehicles began giving permits in April forcompanies to test truly self-driving cars on publicroads. The state also cleared the way forcompanies to sell or rent out self-driving cars,and for companies to operate driverless taxiservices. California, it should be noted, isn’tleading the way here. Companies have beentesting their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will beeverywhere on our roads. But however long ittakes, the technology has the potential to changeour transportation systems and our cities, forbetter or for worse, depending on how thetransformation is regulated.While much of the debate so far has beenfocused on the safety of driverless cars(andrightfully so), policymakers also should betalkingabout how self-driving vehicles can helpreduce traffic jams, cut emissions (排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options.The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance tomake sure that those vehicles areenvironmentally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy—or even worsen—thetraffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine afuture where most adults own individualself-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highwaysbecause they can work, entertain themselves orsleep on the ride, which encourages urbanspread. They take their driverless car to anappointment and set the empty vehicle to circlethe building to avoid paying for parking. Insteadof walking a few blocks to pick up a child or thedry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus.The convenience even leads fewer people to takepublic transport—an unwelcome side effectresearchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.A study from the University of California at Davissuggested that replacing petrol-powered privatecars worldwide with electric, self-driving andshared systems could reduce carbon emissionsfrom transportation 80% and cut the cost oftransportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions andcheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The firstcommercially available driverless cars willalmost certainly be fielded by ride-hailingservices, considering the cost ofself-drivingtechnology as well as liability and maintenanceissues(责任与维护问题)，But driverless carownership could increase as the prices drop andmore people become comfortable with thetechnology.Policymakers should start thinking now abouthow to make sure the appearance of driverlessvehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of thecar-controlled transportation system we havetoday. The coming technological advancementpresents a chance for cities and states to developtransportation systems designed to move morepeople, and more affordably. The car of thefuture is coming. We just have to plan for it. 47. According to the author, attention should bepaid to how driverless cars can.A. help deal with transportation-relatedproblemsB. provide better services to customersC. cause damage to our environmentD. make some people lose jobs48. As for driverless cars, what is the author’smajor concern?A. Safety.B. Side effects.C. Affordability.D. Management.49. What does the underlined word“fielded”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Employed.B. Replaced.C. Shared.D. Reduced.50. What is the author’s attitude to the future of self-driving cars?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.答案:47-50 ADAB。

Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”The eight-part series（系列节目）Save Money: Good Food follows inthe footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.

When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightlyknit(联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Somelanguage experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when theworld had just five to ten million people, they spokeperhaps 12,000languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settlingdown to become farmers, and their languages too becamemore settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries,trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-stateand the spread of universal compulsory education,especially globalisation and better communications in thepast few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominantlanguages such as Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3200, or which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number（中位数）of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction（消亡）, with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.28. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherertimes?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns.D. They were closely connected.29. Which of the following best explains“dominant”underlined inparagraph 2?A. Complex.B. Advanced.C. Powerful.D. Modern.30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A. About6,800.B. About 3,400.C. About 2,400.D. About 1,200.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. New languages will be created.B. People’s lifestyles are ref lected in languages.C. Human development results in fewer languages.D. Geography determines language evolution.答案: 28-31 BCBC2018全国卷I 阅读理解DWe may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worntechnology at the first sight of something shiny and new,but a new study shows that wekeep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news forthe environment—and our wallets—as these outdateddevices consume much more energy than the newer onesthat do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using,Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Instituteof Technology in New York tracked the environmentalcosts for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. Thismethod provided a readout for how home energy use hasevolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped bygeneration. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, andbox-set TV defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on thescene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCDTVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readersshowed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones.“The living-room television is replaced and get planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,”said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from 4 per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions （排放）more than doublingduring the 1992 to 2007 window.So what’s the solution（解决方案）? The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewingon tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energyconsumption by 44 %.32. What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment-friendly.B. They are no better than the old.C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly.33. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research?A. To reduce the cost of minerals.B. To test the life cycle of a product.C. To update consumers on new technology.D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.34. Which of the following uses the least energy?A. The box-set TV.B. The tablet.C. The LCD TV.D. The desktop computer.35. What does the text suggest people do about old electronicdevices?A. Stop using them.B. Take them apart.C. Upgrade them.D. Recycle them.答案: 32-35 ADBA2018全国卷II 阅读理解ASummer ActivitiesStudents should read the list with their parents/carers, and select two activities they would like to do.

Thesecolorful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest invitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (notthat fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids weturn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries（樱桃）, they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter.Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags orcontainers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown.Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on theirripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer,you can simply feed in frozenbananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a“soft-serve”creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makesa fun activity fora childre n’s party;they love feeding thefruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine andwatching the ice cream come outbelow.24. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.25. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.D. To improve their nutrition.26.

Butthe amount of time spent in reading each session hasdeclined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a halfhour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the reportdoes little to counsel (建议) parents looking for data aboutthe effect of e-readers and tablets on reading.

It’s possible that we all havecompromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likelythat none of us start a conversation becau se it’s awkwardand challenging, or we think it’s annoying andunnecessary. But the next time you find yourself amongstrangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble.Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results inbig benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci,director of the Shyness Research Institute at IndianaUniversity Southeast.“Almost every great love story andeach big business deal begins with small talk,”he explains.“The key to successful small talk is learning how to connectwith others, not just communicate with them.In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professorof psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into acoffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted withtheir server reported significantly higher positive feelingsand a better coffee shop experience.“It’s not that talking tothe waiter is better than talking to your husband,”say s Dunn.”But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangersfeel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.“Small talk is the basis of good manners,”he says.32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Addiction to smartphones.B. Inappropriate behaviors in public places.C. Absence of communication between strangers.D. Impatience with slow service.33. What is important for successful small talk according toCarducci?A. Showing good manners.B. Relating to other people.C. Focusing on a topic.D. Making business deals.34. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about smalltalk?A. It improves family relationships.B. It raises people’s confidence.C. It matters as much as a formal talk.D. It makes people feel good.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Conversation CountsB. Ways of Making Small TalkC. Benefits of Small TalkD.

People settle in theseplaces because they are easy to get toand naturally suited tocommunications and trade. New YorkCity, for example, is near a largeharbor at the mouth of the HudsonRiver. Over 300 years its populationgrew gradually from 800 people to 8million. But not all cities developslowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothingalmost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897 and two yearslater, it was one ofthe largest cities in the West, with apopulation of 30, 000.Dawson did not have any of thenatural conveniences of cities likeLondon or Paris. People went therefor gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailedhundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered withthirty feet of wet snow that could fallwithout warning. An avalanche (雪崩)once closed the path, killing 63 people.For many who made it to Dawson,however, the rewards were worth thedifficult trip. Of the first 20,000 peoplewho dug for gold, 4000 got rich.About 100 of these stayed rich men forthe rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were,Dawson was never comfortable.Necessities like food and wood werevery expensive. But soon, the gold thatDawson depended on had all beenfound. The city was crowded withdisappointed people with no interestin settling down, and when theyheard there were new golddiscoveries in Alaska, they leftDawson City as quickly as they hadcome. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rushhappened. Tourism is now the chiefindustry of Dawson City—its presentpopulation is 762.24. What attracted the early settlers toNew York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its smallpopulation.C. Its geographical position.D. Itsfavorable climate.25. What do we know about thosewho first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayedthere.B. One out of five people gotrich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Halfof them died.26. What was the main reason formany people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city toocrowded.B. They wanted to try theirluck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand thewinter.D. They were short of food.27. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. Thegold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.答案: 24-27 CBBA2018全国卷III 阅读理解CWhile famous foreign, architects areinvited to lead the designsoflandmark buildings in China such asthe new CCTV tower and the NationalCenter for the Performing Arts, manyexcellent Chinese architects aremaking great efforts to take the centerstage.Their efforts have been provenfruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-oldChinese architect, won the 2012Pritzker Architecture Prize—which isoften referred to as the Nobel Prize inarchitecture—on February 28. He isthe first Chinese citizen to win thisaward.Wang serves as head of theArchitecture Department at the ChinaDepartment at the China Academy ofArt (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus (校园) of the university in Hangzhou, ZhejiangProvince. Many buildings on thecampus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quitedifferent from that of most Chineseuniversities. Many visitors wereamazed by the complex architecturalspace and abundant building types. The curves (曲线) of the buildingsperfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 millionabandoned bricks of different ages.He asked the workers to usetraditional techniques to make thebricks into walls, roofs and corridors.This creation attracted a lot ofattention thanks to its mixture ofmodern and traditional Chineseelements（元素）.Wang’s works show a deepunderstanding of modernarchitecture and a good knowledge oftraditions. Through such a balance, hehadcreated a new type of Chinesearchitecture, said Tadao Ando, thewinner of the1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should notbe sealed in glass boxes at museums.“That is only evidence that traditionsonce existed,”he said.“Many Chinese people have amisun derstanding of traditions. Theythink tradition means old things fromthe past. In fact, tradition also refersto the things that have beendeveloping and that are still beingcreated,”he said.“Today, many Chinese people arelearning Western styles and theoriesrather than focusing on Chinesetraditions. Many people tend to talkabout traditions without knowing what they really are,”said Wang.The study of traditions should becombinedwith practice. Otherwise,the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.28.

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

2018高考英语阅读理解50篇（含答案）（高质量的专项训练题，值得下载学习）阅读理解Shay asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Shay’s father knew that most ofthe boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around and said, “We’re losing by six runs (分)and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning.Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shay’s team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.The pitcher could have easily thrown he ball to the first baseman and Shay wouldhave been out and that would have been the end of the game .Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Shay, run to first!” Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.Everyone shou ld, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the se cond baseman, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.All were screaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay.” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third.” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Shay, run home！”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who t won the game for his team.That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!( ) 1. Not expecting much, Shay’s father still asked the boy if Shay could play, mainly because the father _________.A. noticed some of the boys on the field were heistingB. guessed his presence would affect the boy’s decisionC. learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay wellD. understood Shay did need a feeling of being accepted( ) 2.
