廣州高二英語閱讀理解

㈠ 高中英語閱讀理解

這個看您自己了，別人無法絕對告訴。

㈡ 高二英語閱讀理解

對於高中英語閱讀還是比較簡單的，你可以先看問題，再去文中尋找答案。但是，不是問題中有關鍵詞與文中對應就可以選的，有時往往是出題人用來迷惑你的，而是你需要循著關鍵詞去文中找到關鍵詞所在的關鍵句，看看關鍵句前一句，後一句所講的意思，然後做出你的判斷，選項和文中句子看著一模一樣的九成不是答案。記住一個原則，對於推斷的題目，如果選項中的句子和文中句子一樣肯定不能選。這些都只是答題技巧，你還應當擴充自己的詞彙量，如果你連句意都讀不懂，技巧又有多大的用處呢？

想在英語高考中取得優良成績，必須在平時加強閱讀訓練，這訓練應包括下面幾個部分： 大量閱讀
以前我們數十年來英語教學不很成功的主要原因就是拘泥於教科書，沒有相當閱讀量配合。據統計，把以前的中學六年的英語教科書的課文內容全部相加總量不過是一張日報一面的量，這些語言量不管怎麼讀，也是不可能掌握一門語言的，所以現在新的英語教學大綱要求初中畢業生的英語閱讀量為30萬單詞，高中畢業的量為60萬單詞，從教學措施上保證學生必須達到這個閱讀量的標准，因為我們在學校讀的英語課本實質上僅僅是精讀，因此我們要補充的應是泛瀆，讀什麼呢？
我建議讀下列四方面的內容：一、選一本你感興趣，且翻最初幾頁你不查詞典也能看懂的英語書，開始可選一些簡易或縮寫的讀物，然後可選一些原著。
二、訂一份英語報紙，開始可訂屬中學生看的，如"S hanghai Student Post "，隨著水平的提高再轉訂"S hanghai Star "，隨後訂"S hanghai Daily "或" China Daily "。報紙的詞彙量很大，涉及各個方面，對擴大詞彙量，獲取信息很有幫助。三、選一本與你教科書程度相近或略難的帶有英語練習的英語書。這類書的特點是書中的文章都是短小有趣，可讀性很強，因為文章後設置了理解性的練習，讀者可讀了文章後做這些練習，以檢查是否看懂了，看懂多少。四、讀所有是英語的東西。如：我們在看《解放日報》、《新聞晚報》等報紙時常看到外資公司用英語寫的招聘廣告，在吃時包裝上的英語說明、走進賓館時所見到的英語告示......，實球上英語已滲透到我們生活的每個角落，要是你有心的話，你可隨時學習。
快速閱讀
讀文章如同看樹林一樣，人站在樹林前不能把眼睛光看著一棵樹，甚至只盯著樹上的葉子，一張一張地看，看到最後，還是一張一張葉子，葉子固然要看，但整棵樹也要看，整片森林更要看，我們必須迅速把視野擴大，這樣才能對森林全貌有所了解。讀文章也是如此，如何才能加強對閱讀文章的理解呢？那就是在閱讀文章材料時要學會快速閱讀。快速閱讀是綜合運用閱讀技巧，在快速閱讀時通過邏輯思維，獲取盡可能多的信息。在整個快速閱讀過程中，要高度集中思想，讓大腦處於高度興奮狀態中。如果念得很慢，一詞一詞地讀，往往念完全文，很茫然，詞都認識，就是不知道文章講什麼。所以現在的英語測試都有一個閱讀速度的要求。
整體理解
我們常有這樣的情況：句子都能看懂，但讀完文章印象卻不深，這就牽涉到對文章框架結構的整體理解。如何學會對文章的整體理解呢？首先，要重視文章的題目和文章的首句。因為文章的題目就是文章的主題，文章的內容就是環繞主題展開。首句很關鍵是因為首句是文章的導入，點明作者寫文章的意圖，背景等。接著的每一段的第一句也很重要，因為每段的第一句實際上多半是每段的主題句，然後進行陳述或論述，逐步展開，給予例證，最後把該段內容用一句話來小結，所以每段的最後一個句子常常是該段的結論句，而整篇文章的最後一句就往往是這篇文章的結論或作者寫這篇文章的用意所在。所以我們在閱讀文章時要養成這樣一個習慣：見了文章的題目，要停頓一下，想一想，如果讓你寫這篇文章將如何寫，或猜一猜，這篇文章大概寫什麼，然後你會饒有興趣地讀下去。接著在往下閱讀時特別注意每段的第一句與最後一句，並用心記往，在讀完全文時清晰地將全文的主要內容像看電影似的一幅一幅地印在腦中，記憶很深既把握住了全文的主要內容、論點、論據，又學會了作者的邏輯推理的方法技巧及整篇文章的框架結構，而這是寫文章最重要的，也就是文章的構思。
積累詞語
要提高閱讀水平，詞彙量與短語量非常重要，打個譬方：造房子要磚瓦材料，詞彙就是閱讀英語的磚瓦材料，沒有相當量的英語詞彙，閱讀英語是無法進行的。所以要提高閱讀水平，我們就得學會積累詞語。我們不妨這么做：在通讀全文後看第二遍，遇到生詞盡可能根據上下文來猜，仍猜不出意思的，就把這些生字查好詞典，然後抄寫在一本可隨身攜帶的小本子上。每天有空時，就拿出這小本子背誦記憶，這樣做不費時，效果卻很好，因不時接觸，反復記憶，詞彙量增加得很快。
按上述幾種方法訓練自己，沒多久，英語閱讀能力就提高了，對付考試也就沒有問題了。
快速提高書面表達能力似乎是不可能的。但是應試還是有一些小訣竅。
考前可以將歷年常規考題的題型進行一下歸納。將每一題型的寫作結構、步驟、方法弄清。並背記同一類型2－3篇範文。這種背記要做到十天一個循環的重復。也許會對你答題有些微幫助。
另一忠告是，每天定時大聲朗讀背記一些不太難的語篇，培養語流直至高考。如果你認為有價值可以嘗試。
以下建議或許對英語學習有幫助。

第一，每天不要一做題就是單選題，應花相當的時間體會語篇，無論是完型還是閱讀，都要能夠在做前，做後都把文章通讀幾遍。這種學習類似高一，高二精讀課文，但又不是那麼面面俱到。目的是體會語言。語言的體會就是語境中學習語言。不但有知識性的學習，復習，同時又能達到交流的目的（這是學習語言的最終目標）。脫離了後者去答高考這么一篇以考查語言運用能力為主的試卷，勢必會失敗。因此這是我給出建議的理由。

第二，堅持每天至少半小時大聲朗讀所學過的課文（高中一至六冊）。考前強化語言對自己的刺激，可使考場上語言感覺順暢。由於高考題多數是選擇題，不排除也不排斥猜題（出題人認可）。因為這是考查閱讀量（每年20萬字課外閱讀）及語感的測試手段。如果你的語流在考場上非常順暢，那麼你就有優勢。這種語言刺激的方式，一定堅持到考前一天。相信會給你一個意外的收獲。

另大聲朗讀也是矯正讀音的一個方法，只有能夠正確讀出單詞和用正確的語調讀出句子，在聽力當中，你才可能有較強的辨音能力及較快的反應能力。無疑對聽力的提高也是有益的。

第三，如果在過去五年中學習英語時沒有養成背記語篇的話，最後一年強化背記一些典型題材的文章，也許會有助於寫作分數的提高。

第四，有些同學做閱讀時，只把注意力放在做對多少道題上，沒有養成回頭再把文章分析、體會的習慣。這里我特別要強調的是，加強難句的分析（雖然沒有影響做題），這種分析除了語法結構知識方面的，還應養成與同學、老師討論深層含義以及語句的邏輯關系。這樣多做幾次就能夠逐步的獨立分析難句。在考場上，就能夠獨立完成選項，並有信心拿分。
第五，有些同學由於考試緊張通常在考場上會發生閱讀障礙，也就是眼睛很快的掃描文章，而文章和語句的意思不能理解。這可能是由於同學們不良的閱讀習慣所至，不能高效集中精力閱讀。這是很危險的。一個補救的辦法就是從現在起，做閱讀按篇或按套限時，有條件的同學可以買一個定時器，按篇每篇設置7－8分鍾完成，按套35－40分鍾完成。

而且做題時盡量找一無打擾環境，一定不要聽音樂，吃東西。這樣一段時間下來，這種類似考場上的氛圍會讓你習慣考場上的緊張，從而使你能夠進入一種非常好的閱讀狀態。

㈢ 高中英語閱讀理解!!!

我是高二的一名學生我一般考試閱讀理解最多錯一個。我覺得每天做一篇就夠了但一定要背課文，課文是萬能的。你可以試試，祝你取得成功

㈣ 高二英語閱讀理解，求解！

21C Green said, 「Clearly I am the most important.看出答案

22.D 文章中Purple stood at his full height. 「I am the color of royalty(皇室) and power. I am the sign of authority (權力) and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.」

23.A Whenever a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.

24D 最後一句

㈤ 高二為了提高英語閱讀理解水平該做什麼樣的閱讀題

本人剛剛經歷高考沒多久，曾經也收到過英語的困擾。個人經驗內是高中的英語練習做好容老師訂的交互就好，不需要在去另賣教輔。騰出一點空閑時間來看看英語的電影，多聽聽英文的歌。這樣既可以培養你平時的語感，也可以充分的利用你的課余時間來學習。還是那句老話「興趣是最好的老師」

㈥ 兩篇英語閱讀理解，英語大神請進。高中

你自己也說了百分之七十單詞不認識，那就趕緊背單詞去，如果一篇文章裡面專大多屬數都是你不懂的字，你語法再好有什麼用？另外，你也只是知道高中的基本語法，很多語法點肯定都忘了，英語語法大多數都是高中學的，大學其實沒有學多少，別看不起高中語法，只要是你不會的，就算是小學學的對你而言都是困難的。英語二的確比英語一略微簡單，但是這種簡單是對於英語有一定基礎的同學而言的，對於你而言，你現在應該先從英語的基礎知識方面入手，背單詞，攻克長難句，然後才是做真題，現在開始還來得及，當你開始做真題的時候，你要記住，一套真題不是你做完了對完答案就算做完了，要做到每一篇文章沒有一個單詞不認識，沒有一個句型不認識，沒有一道題不會做，這才叫弄懂一套真題。如果單詞背不下去，語法學不進去，那你只能自己解決這些問題，畢竟是你要考研，不是別人，這點苦都吃不了，那還考什麼研呢，直接上班日子不是舒服點嗎

㈦ 我是在廣州讀書的准高二學生,求推薦一本英語專項題集（閱讀+完形+語法選擇)

樓主您好，我是復13年高三廣制州應屆畢業生。
本人高三一年都用5.3。（5.3不一定是高三才開始用，個人認為高二開始用可以把5.3的列舉的知識體系了解記憶得更通透些。現在在學習新課，所以裡面的一些語法解說也可以幫到樓樓，相當於一本語法書了哈哈~）5.3裡面的題涵括你上面的要求了，不過沒有語法選擇的。（語法選擇？廣東高考沒有單項選擇的。改革了？？我們這屆考的是語法填空。）
希望能幫上忙o(∩_∩)o ~

B ★
Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri?鄄. He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (細菌) caused beri?鄄beri. He raised some chickens. He didn』t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精煉米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (維生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person』s food.
Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don』t, they can also take vitamin pills.

C ★★
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don』t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
66. The writer of this passage must be ______.
A. an American B. a Chinese
C. a professor D. a student
67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
68. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.
A. warmly welcomed at the airport
B. offered a ride to his home
C. treated hospitably at his home
D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
69. The underlined words 「generous with our time」 in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.
A. strict with time B. serious with time
C. careful with time D. willing to spend time
70. A suitable title for this passage would probably be 「______」.
A. Friendships between Chinese
B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans』 hospitality
D. Americans』 and Chinese』s views of friendships

D ★★★
The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
「I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can』t even understand a bit of music.」
「I』m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.」
But, one younger musician said, 「There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I』m trying to find other places to play. I』m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.」
I』ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they』re positive or negative, they』re rubbing off on you. If you』re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (責怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it』s time to take a look at the people you call 「friends」.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (標准) for yourself and don』t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you』re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
71. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed
B. How to make friendship last for ever
C. You are who your friends are

72. The underlined sentence 「they』re rubbing off on you」 in Paragraph 6 means ______.
A. they』ll push you ahead
B. they』ll influence you
C. they』ll cover your shortcomings
D. they』ll help you achieve your goal
73. The musicians』 words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A. the musicians』 living conditions are quite poor
B. people have poor taste in music
C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing

A ★
Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia』s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile』s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.
Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (撲), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.
Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.
Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (傷口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.
「This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,」 said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.
He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband』s 「quick and diligent actions」.

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.
Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called 「What Color is Your Parachute (降落傘)?」 by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (職業) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.
61. What is the passage mainly about?

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world』s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let』s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren』t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探討它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don』t fing, grocers don』t groce, and hammers don』t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn』t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That』s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看見的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
71. According to the passage ______.
A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
B. there should be egg in an eggplant
C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
D. boxing rings should be round
72. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.
73. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. A wise man and a wise guy.
B. Overlook and oversee.
C. Quite a lot and quite a few.
D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
74. The underlined words 「wind up」 in the last paragraph probably mean 「______」.
A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish
75. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.
A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. ll

我剛才也沒注意多少字呀，結構粘貼了很多，系統提示我內容太多，我就刪掉了一些。閱讀還有很多，你要是用的話就和我聯系。
