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

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)
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 la st 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。

高中英语真题-2016高考英语阅读理解暑假精炼(11)
高中英语真题:2016高考英语阅读理解暑假精炼（11）阅读理解-------CIf you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. T his is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the proc ess of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he se t about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of diffe rent ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain preci se measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating an d breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed I some subjects in their thirties, but it was still n ot evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple re medy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brai n begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Th ose least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by u niversity professors and doctors. White collar workers doing r outine work in government offices are, however, as likely to h ave shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.M atsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to s upply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely onpocket calculators.”36. The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.A. why certain people age sooner than othersB. how to mak e people live longerC. the size of certain people’s brainsD. which people ar e most intelligent【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。

2016年高考英语试题中的“熟词生义”现象分析
编辑/李莉E-mail:*****************♠依然能在校园、图书馆里看到学生捧着书痴迷的阅读,我们也会与学生一起排演话剧、朗诵诗歌、演讲辩论。
是的,这都是语文学习的途径,在教学课时紧张的时候,我们如何处理课内课外的关系,如何充分利用课外的时间,体现着语文教育工作者的教育智慧。
当然,我们不得不面对一个尴尬的事实,真正热爱语文并认真学习语文的学生并不是很多,课堂上睡觉,作业应付,死记硬背,读书时走马观花,写作时空洞无物,把语文学科放在最后,总以为说的是母语就不必花更多的心思。
理想与现实总是隔着一道沟壑,然而我们语文教师总得有一股儒家的气质,知其不可为而为之,不抛弃,不放弃。
让朗朗的读书声在每一个早自习响起,我们不仅要诵读初高中要求背诵的篇目,我们还要诵读《唐诗三百首》,读《诗经》,读《论语》,读经典传世散文。
让每一个40分钟都充实,既有讲解,又有讨论;让每一节课都有笔记,或记录知识或书写感悟。
让每一次作业都富有情趣,减少习题的解答,减少统一的完成格式,鼓励个性的张扬与表达。
让阅读成为生活中最好的朋友,我们读巴尔扎克的《人间喜剧》,读雨果的《悲惨世界》,读莎士比亚,读海明威,读鲁迅,读老舍等,读他人的人生,修正自己的航线。
让兴趣成为学生最好的老师,真正的智者会帮助学生找回失去已久的语文学习兴趣。
当学生不再讨厌语文,而是爱上语文的时候,便是他们吐露心声的时刻,无须布置,他们会用灵动的笔触抒写自己多彩的内心世界。
其实,有很多教师一直在这样做着,那份执着,那份倔强,就是柳暗花明的期盼。
“社会整体的语文素养关系到国家的软实力和文化自信”,这不是空洞抽象的表达,而是充满期待的愿景,当我们国家的软实力增强,对文化充满自信的时候,一定是我们语文素养极大提升的时候,这更是柳暗花明的期盼。
用我们的眼界和胸襟,重新建构语文教学的课堂,我相信:山重水复的迷茫之后,必是柳暗花明的春光。
2016年全国II 卷遵循《2016年高考考试说明》,题型与前两年保持一致,并且阅读ABC 篇和七选五,完形填空,语法填空,短文改错和书面表达整体难度与前两年基本一致。
2016年高考英语阅读理解：2.词义猜测
C
2．Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1? A． ended all their programs C． changed to commercials B．provided fewer channels D．showed allnight movies
作者看节目的时候， 作者采取了换台的方法， 但是有时不起作用， 排除 C 项；然后作者又采取了 “举起来摇晃电视 ”及 “用拳头击打 ”的方法， 后来这一招也失效了，排除 A 项； B 项“不断地开关电视”在文章中没 有提到。再根据文章最后一句话 My trip to the repair shop cost me $62， and the set is working well now...可知作者最后只好花钱修理电视，且到 目前为止电视还没有再出现什么问题。故选 D 项。
A
词义猜测题。该短语前的 I would keep it on 说明作者非常喜欢看电视， 一直看到电视台停止播放节目为止，故 A 项 “结束所有的节目”与短语 sign off“结束广播 /电视节目”意义相近，为正确答案。 B 项 “提供更少 的频道”， C 项 “更换成广告”， D 项“播放通宵电影”，均不符合此 处语境。
词义猜测题常见的命题方式有以下几种： 1．The word/phrase “...” in the passage means________.
2．The word/phrase “...” could be best replaced by ________. 3．Which of the following is nearest/closest in meaning to________？ 4．The word/phrase “...” probably refers to ________. 5．According to the passage，the word “...” is known as ________.

专题6阅读理解Ⅳ：词义猜测题1. 【2017·新课标全国I】CSome of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,〞 Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.〞Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,〞 says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,〞 says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts?

Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips—of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we've got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the checkin desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I'm really sorry, I've got some bad news for you—there are no fights from Washington.〞 So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said：“In this box are some stem cells that a re urgently needed for a patient—please, please, you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom.〞 She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, rerouted(改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.29.
