2019高考英语浙江专用精准提分二轮试题第三部分话题拓展阅读与写作第14节兴趣与爱好(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·河南高三4月适应性训练)Have you ever noticed how Americans fill up their entire glass with ice and then pour their beverage(饮品) in，but Europeans take their drinks at room temperature? In the U．S.，we’ve created fridges that give you cold ice at the press of a button，but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm.This tradition—if that’s what you want to call it—dates back to the 19th century.During that time，it was already commonplace for most American homes to have an ice box.Ice would be harvested in northern America or Canada and shipped across the Atlantic and sold at a high price in British department stores.Can you imagine heading to Macy’s to treat yourself to a block of ice?Putting ice in your drink started to become somewhat of a fashion(时尚) trend for the wealthy in Britain.Some would put a few cubes in their champagne and sip on their chilled drinks at high-class parties.But，like with any fashion trend，it eventually faded，mainly because the ice was just too expensive.And even once ice boxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well，Brits never took a liking to ice in their drinks.So，next time you travel overseas，don’t feel offended(冒犯) when your server gives you an eye roll when you ask for ice water.语篇解读这篇文章主要讲了为什么美国人喜欢喝饮料时加冰，而欧洲人不喜欢。

AI was one of the young US soldiers in Saudi Arabia.At a time before the Internet，our only lifeline to friends and family was the mail we sent and received.One evening the mail soldier called my name and，instead of a letter，handed me a large box from my grandmother back in Oklahoma.One of the great hardships of the war for me was the absence of my grandmother’s cooking—her fried chicken and onion，corn bread，and，most of all，her desserts.But on that evening I was about to take a gastronomic(美食的) journey home：I opened the box to find two dozen my grandmother’s pies.A man from New York approached and asked me what I had received.I couldn’t answer；my mouth was full of pie.So I just offered him one.“So nice！” he said.“What are they？” He had to wait a few moments for an answer，but eventually I explained.As insurance，I offered him another pie to keep quiet.Once a day for the next three weeks，I imagined returning home to my grandmother’s kitchen，if only for a few sweet pies at a time.Some of my earliest memories are associated with my grandmother’s pies.She had been baking pies since before the Great Depression.She would have astonished the judges on today’s TV cooking challenges.I remember coming across a persimmon(柿子) tree once while out hiking.It was autumn，and the fruit was soft and sweet.I picked a few dozen and brought them to Grandma.Guess what！The next day I walked into her kitchen to find a persimmon pie waiting for me.1．What can we infer about the US soldiers?A．They were familiar with the pies.B．They were eager to get their mails.C．They were forbidden to use the Internet.D．They seldom got in touch with the outside.答案 B解+析推理判断题。

2019高考英语浙江专用精准提分二轮试题第三部分话题拓展阅读与写作第3节旅游与交通(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhy does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ，but there’s no doubt that Napoleon was a major influence.The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century.Some say that before the French Revolution，noblemen drove their carriages on the left，forcing the peasants to the right.Regardless of the origin，Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered，including Russia，Switzerland and Germany.Hitler，in turn，ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s.Nations that escaped right-hand control，like Great Britain，followed their left-hand tradition.The U．S.has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers；earlier in its history，carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left，as it did in England.But by the late 1700s，people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift(改变) to the right.A driver would sit on the rear(后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip(鞭子) with his right hand；to see opposite traffic clearly，they travelled on the right.One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U．S.occurred in the 20th century，when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left(one reason，stated in 1908: the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge，especially... if there is a lady to be considered)．Once these rules were set，many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard，including Canada in the 1920s，Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970.The U．K.and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world’s few remaining holdouts(坚持不变者)．Several Asian nations，including Japan，use the left as well—though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.语篇解读文章主要解释了为什么世界上有的国家靠右行驶，有的国家靠左行驶。

第31节文学与艺术(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解ADo you listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don’t.You probably think the music that they like is old and dull and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler.But here is what scientists found recently：people’s music tastes change as they age，according to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.So it’s likely that your own musical preference will follow a similar path to your parents’，whether you like it or not.We used to think that culture and personality are the only factors that affect one’s music choice.But researchers at the University of Cambridge，UK，gathered data from more than 250,000 people over the past 10 years.They noticed that as people age，their social circumstances change，and so does their music tastes.There are three musical periods that people pass through as they mature—“intense”，“contemporary” and “sophisticated”．The first period comes in the teenage years，during which time people like intense music such as punk and rock because teenagers tend to be aggressive and want to establish their identity as independent individuals.But as people move into early adulthood，their lifestyle changes—they socialize more and want to build close relationships with others.As a result，they become more fond of contemporary music，such as pop and R&B，which is usually uplifting and danceable and played at parties where people hang out together and chat.When middle age comes，things have settled down for most people.This period will be dominated(支配) by more “sophisticated” music，such as jazz and classical，as well as more catchy music like country，folk，and blues.“For many，this life stage is frequently exhausted by work and family，and there is a requirement for relaxing，emotive(有感染力的) music，” Jason Rentfrow，a researcher member，told The telegraph.But you must be thinking：“Aren’t there old people who are still into rock music？” Of course there are.But Rentfrow explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed.“We use music for different reasons，” he said，and thus at that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youths.1．Why do children usually like different songs from their parents according to the passage? A．Children prefer cool music.B．Music taste changes with age.C．Parents’ songs are always dull.D．Parents have better social circumstances.答案B解析细节理解题。

2019高考英语浙江专用精准提分二轮试题第三部分话题拓展阅读与写作第38节热点话题(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·黑龙江哈尔滨三中二模)The discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century.However，the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past.Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation，employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of energy.The most effective among these resources is geothermal(地热的) energy.Geothermal energy does not depend on the world’s economic and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do.Besides，extracting(提炼) fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them.Therefore，geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional energy，saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.Being a renewable resource，geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources.In geothermal systems，carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced.Overall，in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour，the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases.For a comparison，a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere，and those power plants that work on coal(煤) produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for many countries.Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling.Besides，geothermal equipment is less big：due to the very nature of geothermal energy，geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts，all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building.What’s more，the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long.All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.语篇解读当前地热资源是最有效、最受欢迎的资源，它具有经济、环保、成本低等特点。

I went in again and made sure I put off the fire.Nothing was like how I planned.A few times I hung out in the school cafeteria，but couldn’t make friends.I went to discover the city alone.Independence wasn’t something to be ashamed of after all.I wish I had made friends with people，but it turned out that I had to learn I wasn’t in need of others’ company to enjoy life.I tried to make the best of my time，thinking that being alone is a blessing too，just like being with friends is.My international experiences that followed definitely made me more social，but now I know that being alone is not a weakness，but a part of life embrace.Just like our mistakes，carelessness or bad luck，I can say it was during my time in London that I learnt I was，despite everything，a strong and special person who can cope with(处理) anything that comes her way.语篇解读本文讲述的是作者在英国的学习经历。

Recent statistics show that in the past few years voluntourism has been one of the fastest-growing areas of tourism.More than 1.6 million people around the world are volunteers in other countries.They work in orphanages(孤儿院)，help build schools，assist in hospitals and do farming work in developing countries.Some of them develop lasting bonds with people far away. There are many reasons why people want to take part in voluntourism.Students see it as a period of time when they can take a break before going to university；others simply want to take time out from a job and do something else.Then there are those who are bored and merely seek adventure.However，many voluntourists do not see volunteering as what it is.They think it is a cheap way of traveling and don’t really want to get involved in hard work. Not everyone sees voluntourism in a positive way.Critics(评论家) say that if people really wantto help those in need，there are many opportunities in their own community to do this.On the other side，volunteers are often not skilled enough for the tasks they do. Travel experts point out that in some cases voluntourists are taken advantage of by the organization that sets up the trips. 语篇解读本文主要讲述了公益旅游的概念、好处以及人们选择公益旅游的原因。

2019高考英语浙江专用精准提分二轮试题第三部分话题拓展阅读与写作第15节语言学习(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe following are some tips on how to choose appropriate foreign language reading materials.Find the right level of difficulty.Find something that you can read with minimal use of a dictionary.If you have to refer to a dictionary too much，you will quickly get tired and confused when trying to put all pieces together.Fortunately，authentic texts range in difficulty from simplest to the most complex，so you can always find something that is appropriate for your level.Choose topics with which you are familiar.Familiarity with the topic will make it easier for you to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words and to compensate(弥补) for gaps in your linguistic knowledge.If you are a beginning or intermediate reader，choose short newspaper and magazine articles dealing with topics about which you have some knowledge.For instance，reading about a current event in your native language and then reading about it in the foreign language is a good way to begin reading foreign language newspapers.Choose materials that are of interest to you.Choose materials that you think you might be interested in.If you find the materials interesting，you will be more likely to continue reading—and that is already half the battle.For example，if you are planning to travel，read a guide about the country in the foreign language.If you are interested in the country where the language you are studying is spoken，subscribe a newspaper or a magazine from that country.Newspapers and magazines are particularly suitable for people learning to read because they offer something for everybody，contain texts of varying levels of difficulty，and usually have photos and illustrations. 语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。

2019高考英语浙江专用精准提分二轮试题第三部分话题拓展阅读与写作第11节节假日活动(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·浙江十校联盟适应性考试)Many Americans spend Thanksgiving with family and friends around a table of roast turkey，sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce.But for others，it’s a competition.Across the United States，there are contests to see who can eat the most pumpkin(南瓜) pie.These events start in October and continue through Thanksgiving.Elk Grove，California hosts the World Pumpkin Pie Eating Championship.Matt Stonie won in 2014 by eating 20 pounds,13 ounces of pumpkin pie in 8 minutes.In other words，about 9 and a half kilograms.That was a “world record”，reported the Major League Eating(MLE)in New York City.Stonie won 5,000.The MLE website praised Stonie：“Like a silent car at top speed driving past you on the highway；like the boxer with lightning blows；like a speed skater in a very tight bodysuit，long limbs stretching faster than the clock can tick.The great one makes it look easy.”Some of the pumpkin pie eating contests are turned into gluttony(暴饮暴食)．Others have a more light-hearted approach to pumpkin pie eating contests.Students at the Duthie Center for Engineering in Louisville，Kentucky posted their pumpkin pie eating contest on Facebook.It was a friendly social affair.In Broomfield，Colorado，their Turkey Day celebration takes a different approach.They hold a pumpkin pie eating contest，but contestants just have to eat one piece of pie (or about one-sixth of a pie) as fast as possible.There’s a 5-kilometer race and a 10-kilometer race afterwards，for those who want to lose weight.And at Pumpkin Palooza—a pumpkin pie eating contest in Sparks，Nevada—the organizers note on their website，“The winners are chosen by audience applause，so style，talent and humor are the be-all and end-all.”语篇解读本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国感恩节各地举办的吃南瓜馅饼的比赛。

第15节语言学习(一)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The following are some tips on how to choose appropriate foreign language reading materials.
Find the right level of difficulty.Find something that you can read with minimal use of a dictionary.If you have to refer to a dictionary too much，you will quickly get tired and confused when trying to put all pieces together.Fortunately，authentic texts range in difficulty from simplest
to the most complex，so you can always find something that is appropriate for your level.
Choose topics with which you are familiar.Familiarity with the topic will make it easier for you to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words and to compensate(弥补) for gaps in your linguistic knowledge.If you are a beginning or intermediate reader，choose short newspaper and magazine articles dealing with topics about which you have some knowledge.For instance，reading about a current event in your native language and then reading about it in the foreign language is a good
way to begin reading foreign language newspapers.
Choose materials that are of interest to you.Choose materials that you think you might be interested in.If you find the materials interesting，you will be more likely to continue reading—and that is already half the battle.For example，if you are planning to travel，read a guide about the country in the foreign language.If you are interested in the country where the language you are studying is spoken，subscribe a newspaper or a magazine from that country.Newspapers and magazines are particularly suitable for people learning to read because they offer something for everybody，contain texts of varying levels of difficulty，and usually have photos and illustrations. 语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。

(2018·浙江十校联盟适应性考试)
Many children grow up in homes where more than one language is spoken.It is clear that understanding two languages can help children as they grow older.However，new studies are showing the more immediate effects of bilingualism on babies’ brains.
Researchers at the University of Washington organized one of the studies.They measured brain activity to compare babies in bilingual families to those in monolingual homes，where one language was spoken.The information they gathered is helping to explain how the early brain listens to language and how listening can influence the brain.The researchers studied babies who were between six and twelve months old.The babies were not yet saying words in any language.The youngest monolingual babies were able to recognize a difference between a language used at home and another language.But by ten to twelve months of age，the monolingual babies were not identifying the sounds of the second language，only the main language spoken in their home.
In comparison，the bilingual babies did not distinguish sounds of different languages spoken to them between the ages of six and nine months.But between ten and twelve months，they could。
