新高考高二英语时文阅读专版特训（含原文翻译及经典解析）AMy parents and I lived upstairs over my aged and infirm paternal grandparents. All of ushelped make the grandparents’day-to-day lives as comfortable as possible. But Granny was gradually going blind and Gramps suffered from the effects of two strokes (中风).Granny’s mind was sharp. It was my job to help her with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle. It made no difference if I had studying or a date. I so often think of the fall when Granny got the chance to “be useful again.”Her niece had leased one of those lunch stands on the fairgrounds and she and her daughter would be staying in town during the week-long fair. Though Gran’s relatives would have little time to rest, they would need a place to stay. There was no spare room; what to do?Granny stumbled around, thinking all the help she could get, and before long the attached woodshed had been made into comfortable sleeping quarters for the two women. Granny would take in a few dollars for “putting up”her relatives, but the best was yet to come! Within a day or two, the two women got behind at the lunch stand, finding that simple sandwiches sold like hotcakes. Since they opened early, the fair employees themselves bought their breakfasts there, keeping the two women overly occupied.Near sightless she may have been, but Granny could do her part. I can see her now, standingfor hours with sandwich fixings and several varieties of bread neatly arranged on the clean table before her. After this week of hustle and bustle was over, Granny stated emphatically, “That was the best week I’ve had in years!”The lesson that memory brings back to me is that we all long for a chance to be “useful”, appreciated, and helpful as well. No matter what our circumstances, there’s usually a way to contribute and, as a reward, strengthen our self-images!1. What can we know from the passage?A. Granny was too old to be “useful”.B. Granny couldn’t see anything finally.C. The author’s grandparents were in bad health.D. Gramps enjoyed being busy at the lunch stand.2. What does the underlined phase “putting up”mean in paragraph 4?A.Accommodating.B. Cheating.C. EarningD. Building3. Why did Granny think it was the best week she had had in years?A. Because she found her value again in life.B. Because she made no difference to others.C. Because she had a chance to make money.D. Because she helped her husband’s relatives.4. What’s the author’s attitude towards Granny’s thought about being useful again?A. Indifferent.B. Negative.C. Positive.D. Not mentioned.【答案】1~4 CAAC【解析】】本文是一篇记叙文，通过记叙年迈的奶奶在自己的生活中不断寻找机会来实现自己的社会价值的例子，告诉我们：任何人，只要你愿意，都会有为社会做贡献，让自己被需要，被认可的机会。

新高考英语时文阅读高二年级专版（含答案解析及原文翻译）ASwitch up the mealtime routine with lamb, a delicious, healthy alternative to chicken or beef.We ustralians love lamb. Relatively easy to cook, lamb is succulent and moist when prepared properly and marries well with different flavors and fresh produce. And lamb can really hold its own with spices. While rosemary is a classic seasoning for lamb, oregano and the Moroccan spice harissa are equally great counterparts to pair with different cuts.When shopping for lamb, look at the color of the meat, which should be rosy. Avoid any cutswith a brownish tinge. The fat should be creamy white and firm and dry to the touch. It is important to buy the cut suitable for the recipe you have in mind.During preparation, grilling, broiling, and roasting meat tends to reduce fat; frying anythingis less healthy. Overcooking is the most fatal mistake home chefs make. Dry meat is a buzzkill. Break out your meat thermometer —the perfect temperature for medium rare doneness is 130F.Always allow the meat to rest after cooking and before serving —30 minutes for a leg of lamb; those precious juices keep the meat moist.I balance the richness of lamb with fresh seasonal vegetables like fresh peas or a side salad. Roasted Leg of Lamb Encased in Rosemary makes a great presentation at a holiday or dinner party.Simple and light,Arugula and Shallot Salad is the perfect companion to roasted lamb.Roasted Leg of Lamb Encased in Rosemary(Makes 10 servings)●20 large branches fresh long-stemmed rosemary●1 4 ½-pound semi-boneless leg of lamb (hip bone removed)●2 tablespoons olive oil, divided●4 garlic cloves, finely chopped●2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest●9 24-inch-long strands of kitchen twineFresh Mint Sauce:●1 cup (not packed) fresh mint leaves●1/2 cup red wine vinegar●1/2 cup water●2 tablespoons raw sugar1. What shouldn’t fresh lamb look like?A. The color of the meat should be rosy.B. The fat should be creamy white.C. The fat should be firm and dry to the touch.D. Its cuts should be with a brownish tinge.2. What mistakes professional chefs usually don't make?A. Broiling lamb.B. Overcooking lamb.C. Grilling lamb.D. Frying lamb.3.

时文阅读：太阳能树太阳能树是一种将太阳能技术与树状相结合的功能性发电机。

它是一种可扩展的产品，应用范围广泛，不仅可以产生足够的能量为单个家庭或整个社区供电，还可以用于商业停车场为电动汽车充电。

太阳能树是太阳能发电系统或其他清洁能源的补充，让我们一起来了解一下吧。

阅读短文并回答问题A solar tree is a structure resembling a tree that generates solar energy using photovoltaic panels（太阳能光伏板）. It helps solve an urgent global challenge: Replacing greenhouse gas-emitting energy sources like oil and gas with renewable energy. But the power generation potential of solar trees is relatively limited, and their primary purpose is to raise public awareness about renewable energy by getting people to notice and interact（互动）with solar energy in new ways.Solar trees generally have a firm metal, plastic, or stone base that extends up and out into “branches” on which solar panels are mounted. Beyond this basic structure, there is great diversity in the design of solar tree units. The solar tree’s photovoltaic “leaves”absorb sunlight, converting it into electricity that is conducted down through the trunk-like central pillar of the structure to an inside battery. Many designs feature rotating（旋转的）panels that can move throughout the day in order to obtain the greatest amount of sunlight.Solar trees help power homes, businesses, and public services. They can create shade to help reduce the urban heat island effect and provide shelter in severe weather such as rainstorms and heatwaves, creating greater urban resilience in the face of climate change. They also enhance public spaces, providing charging stations, and powering streetlights.In comparison to other kinds of ground-mounted solar panel devices, solar trees don’t require much land. They make solar energy generation possible in land-scarce areasthat can’t support vast solar arrays, as well as places that lack sufficient rooftop space for panels. However, solar panels are much cheaper than solar trees at present and have far greater energy generation capacity. Therefore, present solar tree designs often serve as a supplemental source rather than as a primary energy source.At present, solar trees aren’t designed as large-scale solar projects, which limits their ability to contribute to the low-carbon energy transition. Still, their varied designs are appealing. This makes solar trees effective at displaying and thereby educating people about solar energy, and promoting a business or organization’s commitment to renewable energy.1. What is the main purpose of building solar trees?A. To beautify the urban environment.B. To draw public attention to solar energy.C. To replace non-renewable energy resources.D. To provide charging services in emergencies.2. What do we know about a solar tree?A. It stores energy in its own battery.B. It can adjust its height automatically.C. It is made of environmentally friendly materials.D. It transforms sunlight into electricity by its metal base.3. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. The design features of solar trees.B. The ways of saving energy in cities.C. The benefits of solar trees to humans.D. The difficulties of promoting solar trees.4. What advantage do solar trees have over other ground-mounted solar panel devices?A. They occupy much less land.B. They are cheaper to manufacture.C. They are more effective in generating energy.D. They can work in various weather conditions.答案：BACA生词1. gas-emitting adj. 排放气体的2. pillar n. 柱子，桥墩（尤指兼作装饰的）3. resilience n. 恢复力；适应力4. array n. 阵列语块1. solar energy 太阳能2. renewable energy 再生能源3. solar panels 太阳能板4. throughout the day 整天5. public services 公共服务6. urban heat island effect 城市热岛效应7. severe weather 恶劣天气8. charging stations 充电站9. in comparison to 与……相比10. contribute to 有助于；对……做贡献知识拓展urban heat island effect城市热岛效应是指城市因大量的人工发热、建筑物和道路等高蓄热体及绿地减少等因素，造成城市“高温化”，城市中的气温明显高于外围郊区的现象。

I breathe easily and I don't have a stuffy nose.“My chest feels tight and I have coughing spells. If I had been at home with similar symptoms, Iprobably would have gone to work as usual.” After having the illness for one month, Carl now hasno symptoms, but is still testing positive.Marc Thibault, 48Teacher Marc, from Rhode Island, in the US, led a school field trip to Italy, France and Spainlast month and was admitted to hospital on February 27, five days after he returned home.

There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.King's Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters' or get more creative with paint—free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species；it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multibranched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above bluegreen leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid' is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron's PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of "mess and drunkenness". However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.（1）According to the passage, there is a small charge for ______.A. seeing an exhibitionB. learning life drawingC. working with local artistsD. attending the masters' class（2）"Torch Aloe" and "Venus Flytrap" are ______.A. common insectsB. rarely seen snakesC. impressive plantsD. wildlife-enthusiasts （3）In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake ______.A. owned by Lord ByronB. surrounded by fieldsC. located in GrantchesterD. discovered by Virginia Woolf（4）What is the passage mainly about?A. Unknown stories of Cambridge University.B. The colourful life in the countryside.C. A way to become creative in art.D. Some places for weekend break.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了几处周末度假的好去处。

高二英语时文阅读汇编（含答案解析）ALooking after your mental health and quitting social media are the nation's top goals for 2020.A poll of 2,000 adults found one in 10 wants to overhaul their diet completely, as three in 10 find themselves low on energy too often.As well as improving their health and losing weight, a sense of adventure is inspiring Britons to take holidays with a third saying travel is a big goal for the year ahead. Another 45 percent want to cut down on their phone use to help them feel more connected to their friends and family. Other goals people hope to achieve in the coming year include sorting out finances, joining a gym and taking steps to improve their sleep quality. Paying off debt, moving, changing their job, home improvements, and looking after mental health feature the top 10.The study also found three-quarters of Britons have set themselves a goal to achieve in 2020, with five each on average – though millions have 10 or more. This is up on 2019, when Brits set themselves just three goals to achieve – although most admit they did not get to all of them.And now the decade is coming to a close, fewer than a tenth have achieved all their goals for the last 10 years. As a result, more than a third do not ever set themselves targets for a year ahead – because that way, there is no fear of failing them.In fact, the research found one in three are optimistic that 2020 will be the year they finally achieve all of their current goals in life. While one in five adults set themselves goals to improve their physical health, 15 percent set them to make themselves mentally stronger.

【英语】高二英语阅读理解(时文广告)题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解时文广告类1．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Once again DC Comics and Warner Bros. have divided fans and critics over their latest superhero film.There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder's tragic loss of his daughter and, of course, a lot of talk about Ben Affleck's future in the role of Batman.Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment, that it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros. have finally got it right and that the future for the League looks bright.My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: it was exciting, funny and a lot of fun to watch. There's something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.However, I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success. Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed. I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done; these are the kinds of problems that you don't expect to see in a film with such a big budget.Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun. But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.In the end, Justice League is not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one. A lot of work is still to be done but I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.（1）Before the release of Justice League, many people showed their ______.A. pity for the director, Zack SnyderB. concern about the film's qualityC. higher expectation of the new directorD. support for the actor, Ben Affleck（2）According to the author, what's special about Justice League?A. It advocates social justice.B. It brings lots of fun to the audience.C. It has some brave heroes.D. It brings back childhood memories.（3）In Paragraph 5 the author mainly wants to express his ______.A. views on the film's weaknessB. advice to the film's directorC. love for the filmD. expectation of the film's sequels（4）The author mentioned another film producer to ______.A. stress the importance of fun in a filmB. show Justice League's lack of a serious plotC. serve as a warning to the producer of Justice LeagueD. set an example for the producer of Justice League【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了作者对《正义联盟》这部电影的看法。

高二英语阅读理解 ( 时文广告 ) 专项训练 100( 附答案 ) 及分析一、高中英语阅读理解时文广告类1．阅读理解A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens. The first 6,000 copies of the book were sold out in a week. And the book has inspired many plays and movies. The first play was put on in 1844. The first two movies were silent films made in 1901 and 1908. Since then, the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema. What makes such a tale so attractive? Audiences have always loved a good plot, a villain( 反面人物 ) who harms other people or breaks the law, and the ending of right over wrong. The book offers all three.The book tells the story of a man named Ebenezer Scrooge. He is mean and cruel(残忍的) to his clerk and turns away his only living relative. One night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits. The first shows scenes from Scrooge's youth that led to this present state. The second takes him to the homes of his clerk and his nephew. Here Scrooge sees that people can be happy without lots of money. The spirit also shows him the desperate poor people of London. The third spirit shows Scrooge will die alone, and no one will care if he continues to live as he has. At last the messageis understood, and Scrooge repents. He becomes generous and caring to all around him, especially to his clerk's sick son, Tiny Tim.Every year, thousands of people watch A Christmas Carol. Why? They may be touched by its lessons on the true meanings of wealth and happiness. They may enjoy the special effects and feelings or watching every year may be just a habit. Viewers never seem to grow tired of the old miser(吝啬鬼 ), Scrooge, and his dramatic message of hope and change.（1） What do we know about the book A Christmas Carol?A.It was written in the early 19 th century.B.Dickens completed the book in a week.C.It has been adapted for cinema and television.D.It didn't attract readers when published for the first time.（2） The third spirit shows Scrooge.A.where he will die and who will care about himB.how others care about his present lifeC.when and how he will die aloneD.what his future life will be like（3） The underlined part "Scrooge repents" probably means.A.Scrooge feels sorry for what he has doneB.Scrooge does things as he did beforeC.Scrooge is angry with the three spiritsD.Scrooge gives the three spirits a hand【答案】（ 1） C（2） D（3） A【分析】【剖析】本文是一篇应用文，表达了狄更斯的有名作品《圣诞颂歌》，介绍了它的主要内容。

高二英语时文阅读精练（含答案解析）ACoronavirus survivors have spoken out about what it is like to contract the disease, which has infected more than 132,000 worldwide and killed over 5,000 people.As fears over the coronavirus pandemic spread, there’s one question that comes up again and again — how bad is it really? The severity of symptoms can vary dramatically, from a mild sniffle to a hellish feeling of suffocation.Here are some of the coronavirus patients' stories:Jaimuay Sae-ung, 73Jaimuay Sae-ung was the first Thai national to contract coronavirus, becoming ill in December. She experienced a fever and a bad cough, then developed pneumonia (肺炎) while in quarantine. After 10 days, Jaimuay’s condition had improved and she was eventually discharged following two negative test results.Carl Goldman, 67Carl Goldman, from Santa Clarita in California, was on the Diamond Princess cruise ship and later tested positive for coronavirus. He said the virus “hasn't been that bad”. He developed a fever and “a bit of a cough” during his flight back to America and was quarantined on his return. He said: “The sickest I've ever been was when I had bronchitis (支气管炎) several years ago. This has been much easier — no chills, no body aches. I breathe easily and I don't have a stuffy nose. “My chest feels tight and I have coughing spells. If I had been at home with similar symptoms, I probably would have gone to work as usual.” After having the illness for one month, Carl now has no symptoms, but is still testing positive.Marc Thibault, 48Teacher Marc, from Rhode Island, in the US, led a school field trip to Italy, France and Spain last month and was admitted to hospital on February 27, five days after he returned home. A week later he was diagnosed with coronavirus. He said the illness had hit him “like a hurricane”. Marc, a school vice principal, said: “You feel like you're asphyxiating, and you’re panicking because you can’t breathe. He added that he felt “one inch from death” and remains in intensive care.1. How much are the symptoms of the three coronavirus patients alike?A. Very similar.B. Lightly different.C. Extremely different.D. Exactly Same.2. Which can explain the underlined word “discharged” correctly?A. Isolated.B. Permitted.C. Dismissed.D. Released.3. Which statement is Right about the three people?A. Jaimuay was still in hospital though she has got negative test results.B. Carl Goldman has got infected on the Diamond Princess cruise ship.C. The school teacher Marc and his students have got infected in Italy.D. Carl Goldman has no symptoms and has been tested negative now.4. What does the author intend to show by writing the passage?A. The serious influence coronavirus has hadB. Ways to prevent oneself from being infectedC. Thoughts of people about the coronavirusD. The feelings of some infected people【答案】1-4 CDBD【解析】本文是说明文，主要为新冠肺炎病人对自己病症的描述。

1. 细节理解题。

解此题，需要从文中找出每位病人的反应：Jaimuay Sae-ung, 73感染新冠肺炎的症状是“She experienced a fever and a bad cough, then developed pneumonia(肺炎)”；Carl Goldman, 67则是“the virus “hasn't been that bad”. He developed a fever and “a bit of a cough” ”；而Marc Thibault, 48感觉“the illness had hit him “like a hurricane””，由此可知，病人的病症是非常不同的，故选C。

2. 词义猜测题。

根据第三段第一句“After 10 days, Jaimuay’s condition had improved and she was eventually discharged following two negative test results.”，尤其是“following two negative test results”可知，两次检测阴性之后，从常理来说应该是出院了，故选D。

3. 细节理解题。

根据Carl Goldman, 67这部分第一句“Carl Goldman, from Santa Clarita in California, was on the Diamond Princess cruise ship and later tested positive for coronavirus.”可知，Carl Goldman是在游轮上感染上肺炎的，故选B。

A选项was still in hospital错误；C选项没提到学生是否感染；D选项has been tested negative错误。

4. 写作意图题。

纵观全文可知，主要是三个感染新冠肺炎的病人对自己病症的描述，故选D。

【词汇积累】hellish ['helɪʃ] adj. 地狱的；可憎的；凶恶的；令人毛骨悚然的suffocation [ˌsʌfəˈkeɪʃən] n. 窒息；闷死asphyxiate [əs'fɪksɪeɪt] vt. 使窒息；把……闷死【句法剖析】1. Coronavirus survivors have spoken out about what it is like to contract the disease, which has infected more than 132,000 worldwide and killed over 5,000 people.句意：冠状病毒的幸存者已经说出了感染这种疾病的感受，而全球范围内感染此疾病的人已超过13.2万，并有5000余人死亡。

句子分析：此句主句为Coronavirus survivors have spoken out，其后是what 引导的宾语从句，做介词about的宾语；该宾语从句后接which 引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the disease且which在定语从句中做主语。

2. If I had been at home with similar symptoms, I probably would have gone to work as usual.句意：如果我在家也有类似的症状，我可能会像往常一样去上班。

句子分析：此句主句为后半句，前半句是if引导的条件状语从句；需注意的是整个句子使用了虚拟语气，因是对过去的假设，所以if引导的句子中动词用过去完成时，主句动词用would/could/should+ have done。
