(通用版)2017届高三英语二轮复习第二板块题型三阅读理解词义猜测题专练(一)
(完整版)2017新课标高考英语阅读理解猜测词意(词义)解题策略(附带答案)(可编辑修改word版)
2017 届新课标高考英语阅读理解猜测词意（词义）解题策略高考考情分析解读：词义猜测题是高考阅读理解题中的一种常见的题型。
词义猜测可以是对一个单词的意义推断，也可以是对一个短语或一个句子的意义推断，既可以是生词生义，也可以是熟词新义，还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。
通过对近年新课标全国卷分析统计来看，词义猜测题一般有1－2 题。
考查相对比较稳定，但难度略有增加，需要在复杂的句式中通过上下文综合分析才能得出答案。
在词义猜测题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据短文提供的语境，通过阅读上下文，根据已知的信息或常识来推测尚不熟悉的词或词组的含义。
2016 年全国卷设问形式例子：(1)What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？(2016 年课标全国卷Ⅱ)(2)What does the underline phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean？(2016 年课标全国卷Ⅲ)(3)What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to？(2015 年课标全国卷Ⅰ)常见的命题形式有：The underlined word in the second paragraph means “”．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph?The underlined word “” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “”．What does the phrase “”in Paragraph 1 mean?本学案结构：代词指代猜测题目句子猜测句意题目附：典故谚语知识储备单词或短语意思猜测题该题型着重考查考生根据上下文猜测词义的能力，这也是一个从“已知”得出“未知”的过程，即利用上下文的已知部分(尤其是该词或短语前后的句子)进行推理，有时还需要依靠常识和经验来猜测词义。

When the studio didn’t want me for the film — it wanted somebody as well known as Paul —he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other — but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back —he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, butsharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out o f the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.24. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it.B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C. He wasn’t famous enough.D. The director recommended someone else.25. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A. They were of the same age.B. They worked in the same theater.C. They were both good actors.D. They had similar charactertics.26. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Their belief.B. Their care for children.C. Their success.D. Their support for each other.27. What is the autho r’s purpose in writing the test?A. To show his love of films.B. To remember a friend.C. To introduce a new movie.D. To share his acting experience.CTerrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle —named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The govemment has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann sai d Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’sdecision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find redatively easy to meet.28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars.D. The designers of the Transition.29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causes traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.30. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. Cautious.B. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto Show.B. The Transit ion’s Fist Flight.C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True.D. Flying Car Closer to Reality.DWhen a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pumpout perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate (亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.33. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.34. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A. predict natural disastersB. protect themselves against insectsC. talk to one another intentionallyD. help their neighbors when necessary35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The world is changing faster than ever.B. People have stronger senses than beforeC. The world is more complex than it seemsD. People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.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。

Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
2.Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.

高中英语真题：2017届高三上学期第二次模拟考试英语试题Word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.Master painter Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) was well known for having a large number of friends and students. Among them, painter Li Qiujun was special.They got to know each other through Li's elder brother, who was one of Zhang's best friends.They admired each other's artistic talent and became confidants, which resulted in a romantic relationship.In 1948, Zhang produced Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape, a mountain-and-water ink painting featuring gongbi (meticulous brushwork), as a gift for Li's 50th birthday.A year later, Zhang permanently departed from the mainland, and traveled and exhibited around the world before settling down in Taipei in1976.After leaving the mainland, he often said that he missed Li, who died in Shanghai in 1973.Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape will be auctioned in Hong Kong on Oct 4.The painting not only marks a friendship between the two painters, but it deserves special attention because it shows Zhang at the top of his game as he sought to master the mountain-and-water style, according to C.K. Cheung, head of Sotheby's Chinese painting department.Sotheby's will auction the work at its major autumn sale, which runs from Oct 1 to 5.Cheung says the painting's composition and Zhang's attention to details reflect his incorporation of traditional touches, especially from Song Dynasty (960-1279) paintings, while also developing his own style.21. The underlined word “confidants” in paragraph 3 probably means ____.A. enemiesB. collegesC. friendsD. painters22. How old was Li Qiujun when she died?A. 50B. 75C. 78D. 8423. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape was originally a gift for Li's 50th birthday.B. Zhang Daqian permanently departed from the mainland in 1949.C. Sotheby's will auction Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape inHong Kong.D. Li Qiujun's elder brother was also one of ZhangDaqian's students.2.A new international study shows that some people's biological clock plays a powerful role for their life expectancy, regardless of lifestyle choices.Published in the latest issue of Aging on Wednesday, the study has found the most definitive evidence to explain why some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others.Geneticist Steve Horvath from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led a team of 65 scientists around the world to record age-related changes to human DNA, analyse blood samples collected from 13,000 people and estimate their lifespan.A higher biological age, regardless of actual age, consistently predicts an earlier death, the study says."You get people who are vegan, sleep 10 hours a day, have a low-stress job, and still end up dying young," Horvath said in a statement. "We have shown some people have a faster innate aging rate."The findings discovered that 5 percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate, which translated to a roughly 50 percent higher than average risk of death at any age."The great hope is that we find anti-aging interventions that would slow your innate aging rate," Horvath said, adding that "this is an important milestone to realizing this dream."24. Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because ______.A. their biological clock is not powerful enoughB. the most definitive evidence has been foundC. they have a higher actual age than othersD. they ages at a relatively faster biological rate25. How was the study conducted?A. By collecting and analyzing dataB. By interviewing lots of peopleC. By researching previous studiesD. By studying different lifestyles26. According to the study, it can be inferred that ______.A. people who keep healthy lifestyle tend to live longerB. people’s lifespan can be predicted by their ageC. 5 percent of people are believed to have a faster innate aging rateD. anti-aging interventions have proved to slow the innate aging rate27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. We all should keep healthy lifestyleB. Geneticist finds anti-aging interventionsC. Biological clock predicts life expectancyD. Horvath builds an important milestone3.As a Chinese saying goes, “Taste is actually a memory of childhood”. Local specialty food may not be popular among all people, but it offers outsiders a glimpse of local culture and history.Gongcheng “oil tea” is such a kind of food that would be considered “weird” by ma ny first-time visitors to the remote county in the north of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Many people dislike its bitter and astringent（涩的）flavor when they take a sip.“It felt like drinking Chinese herbal medicine. I never expected that I wou ld gradually accept it afterwards, and even become addicted to it,” said a traveler surnamed Zhang who comes from Shijiazhuang in northern China’s Hebei province.Langshan village is said to be the birthplace of Gongcheng “oil tea” whose ideal ingredients are green tea and fermented tea. The village has preserved well its buildings and roads dating back to late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), as well as its traditional way of making the special tea.Lin Fengyou, 60, introduced the cooking process. She looks younger than her age, and attributes this to the benefits of drinking “oil tea” throughout the year.The first procedure is to use a wooden hammer to pound the tea whileheating it in an iron pot, and then add edible oil and boiled water afterwards. She filters off the solid residues（余渣）, and pours the glue-like green tea soup into bowls. Then, she adds salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, fried groundnuts, sliced taro and fried beans.The taste of the “oil tea” is a mixture of the distin ctive flavors of all its ingredients. Local people usually eat it together with glutinous rice（糯米）balls, rice dumplings and glutinous rice cake.The villagers consume “oil tea” three times a day. The tea soup is a healthy and refreshing food. “The tea soup to us is coffee to Westerners”, said Lin. “But it is tastier.”28. Many first-time visitors may find “oil tea” ______ when taking a sip.A. popularB. strangeC. addictedD. beneficial29. What can we learn about Lin Fengyou according to the passage?A. She never expected that she would gradually accept “oil tea”.B. She is one of the reasons why the special tea has been preserved.C. She thinks drinking “oil tea” throughout the year makes her look younger.D. She drinks “oil tea” three times every day and considers coffee tastier.30. Which is the correct order of cooking “oil tea” according to Lin Fengyou?a. pour the glue-like green tea soup into bowlsb. heat the tea in an iron pot and pound the teac. add salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, etcd. add edible oil and boiled watere. filter off the solid residuesA. bdeacB. dbaceC. acebdD. beadc31. Which column is this passage probably taken from?A. Culture & EducationB. EntertainmentC. HealthD. Travel4.China's largest search engine Baidu has said it will make its latestartificial intelligence (AI) technology accessible to developers and businesses as part of the company's latest move into AI, big data and cloud computing.AI solution "Tianzhi" was launched at a cloud-computing summit held in Beijing Wednesday.

You canpicture the scene of the man--it is usually a man--driving blindly around an unfamiliar town looking for an address he doesn’t know. 37 And he could get to his appointment on time. It is obvious to everybody in such a case that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but rather the sensible thing to do.38 For example, you are looking for a new job and need to write your resume（简历）. If your pride prevents you from getting help and you just do the writing yourself, it may well cost the opportunity you are seeking. Similarly, when you just started a new job, you often don’t want to admit that you haven’t got the knowledge to finish a particular task, so you keep going and eventually make things worse than they were. This may lead to a diminishing（贬低）of you in the eyes of the boss. 39Now you can see that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but is the sensible and mature thing to do. 40 Making your life easier by asking for and using knowledgeable help is not a sign of weakness, but is actually quite a clever thing to do.A. What’s worse, you are most likely to lose the new job.B. Actually speaking, asking for help is not a sign of weakness.C. There are times when you know you don’t have the relevant experience.D. If only he would stop and ask for directions, he could save lots of time.E. However, many people tend to make mistakes over and over when help is available.F. You will also recognize expert help would save your time, energy and money.G. You can accustom yourself to asking for help sooner or later.2. I’ve dreamed of becoming a writer since I was a teenager.

专题05阅读理解Ⅲ：推理判断题(测)2017年高考二轮复习英语(附解析)
2017届高三二轮复习英语精品资料【测案】专题5 阅读理解Ⅲ：推理判断题班级姓名学号分数（测试时间：45分钟）1.C【河北省石家庄市辛集中学2017届高三上学期期中】Tone of voice is very important in human conversation. A person might use words that communicate one message and a tone that shows something very different. This possibility for confusion is one reason that businessmen encourage discussing things in person, rather than through email, as tone cannot be determined in the written form.The same rule is true with children. Children as young as a few months respond to a change in voice. It has been recorded that babies prefer to hear a story read by their own mother rather than another woman whom they do not know.Have you ever talked to someone who had little or no changes in their voice no matter what you were discussing? Think of the teacher or professor you had in the past that spoke in a monotone manner for the entirelecture. It is very boring and difficult to become interested in the topic.Parents should make an active effort to communicate with your child. If your child figures out how to open a box he or she has been struggling with and says “YES!” with pride in his or her voice, your response should be happy and excited (something encouraging, like “You did it!”). If you plainly said the same thing, you would not be matching the tone of your child.This applies to feelings that the child may express in everyday situations as well. If a child argues with a friend, your response should not be said in a high voice or with a smile. Seriously and sincerely you should say “You look sad” or “That must have been hard for you”.The tone of your voice expresses understanding, acknowledgement, connection and several other healthy things to your child. Although your words are very important, equally important is the tone with which you say those words.29. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To tell us that our tone of voice is as important as the words we say.B. To tell us that businessmen prefer to talk in person.C. To lead to the topic of the passage.D. To advise us to use different tones of voice correctly.2.D【河北省石家庄市辛集中学2017届高三上学期期中】Probably no other musical instrument is as popular as the guitar around the world. Musicians use the guitar for almost all kinds of music. Country and western music would not be the same without a guitar. The traditional Spanish folk music called Flamenco could not exist without a guitar. The sound of American blues music would not be the same without the sad cry of the guitar. And rock and roll music would almost be impossible without this instrument.Music experts do not agree about where the guitar was first played. Most agree it is ancient. Some experts say an instrument very much like a guitar was played in Egypt more than 1,000 years ago. Most experts say that the ancestor of the modern guitar was brought to Spain from Persia sometime in the 12th century. The guitar continued to develop in Spain. In the 1700s it became similar to the instrument we know today.Many famous musicians played the instrument. The famous Italian violins Niccole Paganism played and wrote music for the guitar in the early 1800s. Franz Schubert used the guitar to write some of his famous works. In modern times Spanish guitarist Andres Segovia helped make the instrument extremely popular.In the 1930s, Les Paul began experimenting to make an electric guitar. He invented the solid-bodied electric guitar in 1946. The Gibson Guitar Company began producing its famous Les Paul Guitar in 1952. It became a powerful influence on popular music. The instrument has the same shape and the same six strings (弦)as the traditional guitar, but it sounds very different. Les Paul produced a series of extremely popular recordings that introduced the public to this music. Listen to this Les Paul recording. It was the fifth most popular song in the United States in 1952. It is called “Meet Mister Callaghan.”32. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A．The guitar plays a very important role in music.B．The choice of musical instrument is important for a band.C．The guitar was the most popular musical instrument in the past.D．Every musician likes playing music instrument with the guitar.35.Where does the passage probably come from?A. A newspaperB. A broadcastC. A magazineD. A history book【解析】【试题分析】文章大意:本文主要介绍了吉他在音乐中的重要性、发展史以及与其相关的音乐家。

2017届高三英语教学质量检测2第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。
AShortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncl e’s exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” cri ed out my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!1. Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?A. Because the roof of the cottage was falling.B. Because the cottage was in bad condition.C. Because he was used to living abroad.D. Because there was no furniture in it.2. When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because __________.A. it was completely dark insideB. there was too much dust in the airC. something strange blinded themD. it was too bright inside3. The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because __________.A. he did not miss the exciting storiesB. he spent more time with his uncleC. he had a lucky escapeD. he saw a strange sight4. Which of the following can best describe the writer’s uncle?A. Adventurous and good at storytelling.B. Humorous and good at making jokes....C. Dependable and generous with moneyD. Considerate and sensitive to danger.【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 4. A【解析】本文主要讲述了作者兄弟俩和国外归来的叔叔一起在乡间小屋里度过一晚的故事。

AMy 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought backmemories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene inparticular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last ofthe night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect mysleeping childre n.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjustingwell after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I-times the hardest. Ilove checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find nightmiss her most at night.In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing withsimilar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sickfeeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of uswere too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the characterAndy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave forcollege. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well intocollege sai d the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken awayfrom inside you,” said one of them.I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to collegelife. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight andsweet dreams every night, I like to think at messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.21. The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.A. she watched the scene with her daughterB. the scene was very exciting and interestingC. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lessonD. the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children22. After her daughter went to college, the writer ________.t used to the change for a long timeA. didn’t geB. often cried as she missed her daughter so muchC. realized she hadn’t done enough for her daughterD. failed to have a good sleep every night23. What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?A. Happiness.B. Anger.C. Sadness.D. Excitement.24. According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her inbed?A. To call her daughter any time.B. To wait for her daughter’s calls.C. To say good night to her daughter.D. To wait for her daughter’s messages.BTelevision has turned 88 years old on September 7, 2015, and it has never looked better. In itsyouth, television was a piece of furniture with a tiny, round screen showing unclear pictures oflow-budget programs. In spite of its shortcomings, it became popular. Between 1950 and 1963, thenumber of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population.As the audience got larger, the technology got better. Television sets became more reliablethrough the 1960s. The reception (接收效果) improved. The picture improved. The majornetworks started broadcasting programs in color.Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown, who wrote an articlefor the Post in 1967. Surprisingly, just about every prediction he made in the article became areality. For example: All sets in the not-distant future will be color instruments. He also predictedthat TV sets would become smaller, simpler, more reliable and less expensive and may forever putthe TV repairman out of work. Smaller sets do not, of course, mean smaller screens. TV engineersexpect screens to get much bigger. However, today’s 3-D TV is even farther away, if it’s coming atall. There is some doub t whether the public would be eager to pay for it, in view of people’s c reception given to 3-D movies.But the technology with the greatest potential, according to Brown, was cable television (有线电视), which was still in its early stages then. As he predicted, the future of cable television washighly interactive (互动的). It wasn’t cable television that gave Americans their electronicconnection to the world, however. It was the Internet. He even foresaw the future office: usingpicture phones, big-screen televisions for conferences, and computers providing information at thetouch of a button.Brown ever said, “The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent. Ita question of what we want.”25. What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?A. They were very popular with Americans.B. The reception showed no improvement.C. They showed black-and-white pictures.D. They were out of order now and then.26. Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?A. Televisio n’s good quality.B. The invention of 3-D TV.C. The future office’s model.D. The potential of cable TV.27. What is the text mainly about?A. The shortcomings of television.B. The bright future of television.C. The development of television.D. The invention of television.CYou choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers. It has been made tohelp you better manage your money.

The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000“food miles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK. It is also worryingthat we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles ) and carrotsfrom South Africa (5,900 food miles).Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell thetrue situation of the environmental damage due to industry. Most food is transported around theworld on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noticed that a ton ofnecessarily use less fuel on itsbutter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers’ market doesn’tjourney than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea ofignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your foodmiles” miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. The difference isthat the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the opensun.ld What is the idea of “food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third Wor countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as Isee it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.32. The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that ________.A. UK wastes a lot of money importing food productsB. some imported goods causes environmental damageC. growing certain vegetables causes environmental damageD. people wasted energy buying food from other countries________.33. The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distanceA. that a food product travels to a marketB. that a food product travels from one market to anotherC. between UK and other food producing countriesD. between a Third World country and a First World food market34. By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that________.A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian onesB. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes onesC. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuelD. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money35. From the passage we know that the author is most probably ________.A. a supporter of free global tradeB. a member of a Food CommissionC. a supporter of First World food marketsD. a member of an energy development group第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants inSan Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elizabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.8.

He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜)．Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbours came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn't look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn't offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.12. Why did Dad clean Old Man McColgin's chicken house regularly?A. To earn some money for the family.B. To collect manure for his crops.C. To get rid of the terrible smell.D. To set a good example to us.13. What can we infer about Dad's stew?A. It is popular among the neighbours.B. It contains honey and vegetables.C. It looks very wonderful.D. It tastes quite delicious.14. What does the underlined word “offend”in the last paragraph mean?A. To attract.B. To upset.C. To air.D. To shut.15. What can we learn about Dad from the text?A. He is an experienced cook.B. He is a troublesome father.C. He has a positive attitude to life.D. He suffers a lot from his disability.试卷A【文章大意】这是一篇广告，介绍了一款产品——TV Ears，它不但可以辅助听力障碍的人士在不调高音量的情况下正常听清电视声音，还可以帮助人们(包括听力正常的人士)根据自己的需要设置自己的耳机音量而不打扰到别人。

阅读理解词义猜测题专练(一)(题干加黑的为词义猜测题)A(2016·湖南省十三校高三联考) As a star computer scientist, Cristina Fonseca had lots of job offers, but she turned them all down. She decided to start her own business Talkdesk. She lives in Portugal but does business all over the globe by using software.The global economy works well for such people.But the world of work has been less kind to other young folks. Florence Moreau, a young architect in Paris, had the double misfortune to leave university in 2009, when the world economy was on its knees; and to be French. “I really need a fulltime, permanent job，” she says. Under France's 3,800page labour code, workers on permanent contracts receive generous benefits and are extremely hard to get rid of. So French firms have all but stopped hiring permanent staff: Fourfifths of new employees are on shortterm contracts. Ms Moreau has had eight jobs, none lasting for longer than 16 months. With a small child at home, she has to keep looking for the next one. “It's tiring，” she sighs.Joblessness matters. The longer people are out of work, the more their skills and their selfconfidence atrophy,_the less appealing they look to potential employers and the more likely they are to give up.Trade unions often favour a minimum wage. This can help those who already have jobs, but if it is set too high it can crowd out those with the fewest skills and the least experience, who tend to be young.A labour system where companies can hire and fire easily is urgently needed.Making it easier for young people to start their own business is essential, too. They may be full of energy and open to new ideas.Also, there is a huge mismatch everywhere between the skills that many young people can offer and the ones that employers need. Ms Fonseca says she cannot find the right talent for Talkdesk. As economies grow more complex, demand for practical skills will keep rising. The world's schools are not even close to meeting it.1．What can we learn about Cristina Fonseca?A．She does business only in Portugal.B．When seeking a job, she was refused many times by employers.C．Her company is not related to information technology.D．She can't find the talents she wants.2．What does the underlined word “atrophy” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Increase. B．Shrink.C．Overcome. D．Survive.3．Why can't Moreau find a permanent job?A．Employers don't want to give workers good welfare.B．She didn't finish university studies.C．The world economy is booming.D．The French government hasn't taken any measures for unemployment.4．Which measure is actually useless for unemployment?A．Making labour rules more flexible.B．Training students to gain skills.C．Raising the minimum wage.D．Encouraging young people to start companies.B(2016·河南省豫东、豫北十所名校阶段性测试五)I believe in taking action to solve problems around me. Passively accepting the status quo (现状) is something that doesn't even cross my mind.My mother wrote poetry, books, and letters to the editor to try to change the world — some were published; others remained manuscripts that she worked and reworked with comments from authors she respected. She did not sit still.When, at ninetythree, illness left her only a short time to live, she told me that she had submitted her recent book of poetry to a publisher but hadn't received a response from them. So I called the publisher, only to learn that the company had stopped operating for lack of money. As my mother's health was slipping quickly, there wasn't time to find a different publisher. After a few weeks of feeling helpless, I began to look for another solution.Luckily, I found a printer, who was touched by my mother's story and quickly moved into action with me. We worked together to complete the book just a few days before I left to see my mother for the last time. I handed it to her giftwrapped.Her pain medication made it hard for her to see and think clearly, and she struggled to read the title of the book I had given her. When she finally recognized her title, her face softened into a smile. “You remembered，” she said and then passed away with no regret. And then I knew — she had expected all along that I wouldn't sit_on_my_hands when in trouble and take action actively.Not finding a solution wasn't an option. And this has guided me through so much of my life. I live in the world of education and opportunity. This is a daily challenge. When faced with a problem, I can't simply shrug my shoulders and say, “I don't know.” While I can't change the world alone, I can't accept the status quo, and I need to take action.5．Why did the author's mother receive no response after submitting her recent poetry?A．The readers didn't like her works.B．She was not a wellknown writer.C．The publisher went out of business.D．Her illness shocked the publisher.6．How did the author's mother react when seeing her book published?A．She passed away without any regret.B．She decided to write more works.C．She recovered from her illness.D．She was too ill to say anything.7．What does the underlined part “sit on my hands” in Paragraph 4 probab ly mean?A．Work up. B．Keep calm.C．Feel depressed. D．Do nothing.8．What did the author learn from her mother?A．It's never too late to write.B．Action speaks louder than words.C．One good turn deserves another.D．Two heads are better than one.C(2016·石家庄市高中毕业班模拟考试)For visitors, Teller Lake in Colorado looks like a fishbowl filled with thousands of gorgeous goldfish. However, to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department theyare a group of dangerous species that could end up destroying the lake's ecosystem.The problem is that these fish aren't native to the lake, which means they have no predators (捕食者). This allows them to multiply in large numbers. Park officials believe that most of them are a result of a few unwanted pet goldfish that were thrown into the lake.While that may appear to be a kind thing to do, it is extremely dangerous, not to mention illegal. That's because as this nonnative species grow in numbers, they compete with the existing fish for food sources like small insects.Given that there is only a limited supply of resources, this could result in the goldfish overpowering the native fish species. In the case of Teller Lake, the officials are particularly worried that the goldfish will move downstream and affect the population of some of the endangered native species that live there. Another major cause for concern is the diseases the goldfish may be carrying.The Colorado Parks and Wildlife biologists, therefore, have no option but to remove the fish from the lake in the most efficient manner. The fish will then be fed to injured birds like eagles and osprey.Experts say that most owners believe they are doing the “right thing” by returning their pet to the wilderness. However, saving one pet often results in destroying the area's ecosystem and hurting other animals. According to experts, the best way to dispose_of unwanted fish or any other animal is to get advice from the people that sold the pet.9．Why did the dangerous goldfish appear in Teller Lake?A．They were born into the lake.B．They were thrown by Park officials.C．They were abandoned by their owners.D．They were brought in by some biologists.10．How is the lake's ecosystem likely to be influenced by the goldfish?A．Native fish may be eaten by them.B．New diseases may be brought in.C．The lake water may be polluted.D．Food sources may be increased.11．What will happen to the goldfish after they're caught?A．They'll be killed at once.B．They'll become food for birds.C．They'll be set free downstream.D．They'll be raised in the fishbowl.12．What does the underlined phrase “dispose of” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Attend to. B．Take over.C．Get rid of. D．Hold on to.词义猜测题专练(一)A语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。
