高考英語閱讀理解題解題技巧詳解
英語閱讀理解題的難度在不斷增大,考生們也大多知難而進。下面是我為大家帶來的高考英語閱讀理解題解題技巧,歡迎閱讀。
一、四選一型閱讀
高考閱讀不同文體按照題型分類主要分為五大類:細節題、推理題、主旨大意題、詞義句意猜測題、結構順序題。
1、細節題解題技巧
細節題,顧名思義,就是指針對文章的某個細節而設置的試題。細節題的命題方法很多,如可能是對某個細節用同義結構轉換後進行考查、也可能是將文章中的幾個細節(通常是四個)放在一起要求考生判斷是非(選出正確的一項或選出錯誤的一項)或對幾個細節進行排序等。解答這類試題時,一個常用的方法就是運用定位法,即根據題干或選項中的線索詞從原文中找到相關的句子,與選項進行比較從而確定答案(此時要特別注意一些常見的同義轉換)。
現在圍繞上述的定位理論,引申出幾個小的技巧:
(1) 關鍵信息定位法。這個主要是細節題,如涉及到數字(日期、時間、價格等),就可以在文章中快速圈出數字,再找出目標數字及相對應的細節作息,還有人物姓名、地點名詞等等,其他的還包括一些提示情節發展,或條綱性關鍵字眼,如First, Next, Finally等等。
As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. (2011年高考英語北京A篇)
What happened to the author in 2011?
A. She flew an airplane
B. She entered a competition
C. She went on a hot air balloon ride
D. She moved into a retirement community
解析:此題屬典型細節題,通過題干中的時間in 2011不難定位到文中粗體字部分,很容易可以鎖定正解為C。
(2) 同義定位法。英文中可以用Paraphrase表示。同義定位就是指問題所用的關鍵詞和文中的不一致,但屬於同義性質,同義轉換其實是在關鍵間的基礎上拐了個彎。
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. (2010年高考英語北京B篇)
What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A. Finding the news value of his stories.
B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues.
D. Improving his good ideas.
解析:此題屬細節題,定位方式為同義定位法。題干中的talks和文章中conversations對應,而want most和longs for對應,這樣不難得出答案為D。
小結:在閱讀中,精準快速的定位加上正確的理解力才能保證做題的量與質。定位法是需要在做題的過程中有意識的培養的,做題的技巧也是可以總結的,關鍵是要自覺培養這種分析歸納和總結的意識以及能力。
2、推理題解題技巧
推斷題定義:在理解原文字面意思的基礎上,通過對語篇邏輯關系的分析和細節的暗示,做出一定的判斷和推理,從而得到文章的深層意義及隱含意義的過程。
出現特徵:在考題中經常出現的詞有infer, imply, indicate, conclude, learn from, probably, most likely, prove /according to等。
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. 「We're moving house.'; 「No space for her any more with the baby coming.」 「We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present.」 People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house? (2010年高考英語北京A篇)
A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.
解析:由題目得知:是考察作者的態度題。首先定位到文章作者的話語和行為,即
(1) No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway.
(2) We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present.「
(3) People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
可知作者對它是正的情感,排除C,D.再由作者對它的不舍,答案選B
3、主旨大意題解題技巧
Topic/Title型-使用逆推法
(1) 要在閱讀原文基礎上,仔細考慮選項是否與文章主題有密切聯系
(2) 再看選項對文章的概括性或覆蓋面如何
(3) 要注意題目是否過大或者過小
(4) 要避免下列三種錯誤
概括不夠(多表現為部分代整體,導致范圍過小)
過度概括(多表現為擴大范圍)
以事實、細節代替抽象概括的大意。
Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert (警報) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have been popular in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless instry's trade association, CTIA, estimates(估計) more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.
「The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and ring, disasters and other emergencies,」 FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said, following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alert system by carriers -telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received support from the wireless instry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.
There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.
The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a natural disaster. The second would involve 「approaching threats」, which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be for child abction (綁架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.( 2008年高考英語山東卷B篇)
66. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students
B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Instry
C. Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters
D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon
解析:D。主旨大意題。第一段開門見山,提出將創建一個全國性的簡訊警報系統;最後一段重申主題,對這種新系統的未來進行展望。因此最准確的標題是D。A項錯在protecting students;B項錯在by wireless instry;C項錯在National Disasters。
4、詞義句意題解題技巧
要求考生通過閱讀上下文,結合中學生應有的賞識來推測尚不熟悉的詞或者片語的意思。出現特徵:劃線或者引號
解題方法之一:根據上下文,往往是本句中的同位關系進行猜測。
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, 「My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.」 The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
62. The underlined word 「burning」 in Para. 3 probably means _______.(2012年北京,B篇,62,答案D)
A. annoyed B. ashamed C. ready D. eager
解析:從burning這個詞來說,意為「發熱的,強烈的,燃燒的`」,後面緊跟動詞片語「find out」說明在尋找時刻的心情是很緊張和急迫的,最後是一個賓語從句,是我曾經做錯過什麼,那麼這個題目顯然就是選擇和「渴望的,熱切的」詞義,顯然為D選項。
5、結構順序題解題技巧
常見提問方式:
How is the passage organized?
Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
The author develops the passage mainly by….
解題思路:
(1) 注意主題段。主題段通常在文章的開頭,簡要概括文章的中心思想,
(2) 找出或者總結每段的主題句。主題句可能在段落的開頭,也可能出現在段落的中間或末尾。如何確定主題句的方法見主旨題之main idea型。
(3) 最後根據每段主題確定段與段之間的結構關系,承上啟下,使文章行文連貫,邏輯嚴密。為突出主題,作者可能採用不同的寫作手法來組織文章,通過舉例、比較、類比等手法來透徹闡明主題觀點。
The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place
Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word 「diet」 everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet procts that we have stopped thinking about what diet procts are doing to us. We are paying for procts that harm us psychologically and physically(身體上).
Diet procts significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet procts allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word 「diet」 in food labels.
On another level, diet procts have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet procts make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet procts lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(營養成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calories only because the diet instry has created chemicals to proce these wonder procts. Diet procts may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet procts are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet procts have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet procts, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them. (2008高考英語北京卷E篇)
75. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
解析:文章第一段點明節食產品在誤導人們;第二段說明節食產品對人們心理上的影響;第三段說明節食產品誤導人們認為不費勁就可以減肥,即對人們身體上的危害;第四段說明節食產品的危害;第五段說明人們應該慎重對待節食產品,故從文章結構上看應該是B項正確。
二、七選五型閱讀
考生需要在語篇信息存在缺失的情況下,准確理解整篇文章,特別是設題部位前後句的邏輯關系,通過上下文的線索進行判斷,預測下文,然後做出正確判斷。
命題分析:我們如果把整篇文章看成一個信息群,這個信息群實際上是由兩大信息版塊構成的:
已知信息:原文在五處空缺之外的沒有被挖掉的信息
待選信息:七個待選選項中的信息
這兩個信息板塊間絕不是孤立的,而是有緊密的互動邏輯關系,連起來是一篇完整的文章。
考試題型對學生的考察能力來看無外乎兩個方面:
(1) 把握整篇文章的布局和邏輯層次關系
(2) 把握微觀信息間關聯性(即空格前後句間關系)
解題方法:詞彙同現、詞彙復現、代詞妙用、數字線索、邏輯線索。
Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? _____ (71) It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called 「elevator (電梯) music」 because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name 「Muzak」. About one-third of the people in America listen to 「Muzak」 everyday. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired.______ (72)
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? _____ (73)
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. _____ (74)Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.
_____ (75)They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!( 2010年高考英語北京卷)
A. Some people don't like Muzak.
B. The music gives them extra energy.
C. Music is playing in the background.
D. Factory workers proce 13 percent more.
E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F. They ge t as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.
G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.
答案:CBFDA
代詞妙用:代詞指代前面提到的thing, 所以只要找到與代詞含義一致的詞就可搞定。
71空格後面出現「It's similar to the music you listen to,」那麼我們只要分析出其中的「it」的具體指代即可,通過題目及略讀下文,我們很容易知道該文介紹一種音樂,而且第一段故作懸念,一直未給出其名字,所以我們只要找到選項中包含音樂一詞而沒有點名繆扎克一詞的即可,很容易鎖定BC選項,因為B項意義與下文相去甚遠,故舍B取C沒商量。
75空格後出現「They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time.」,同理,我們就要確定「they」的具體指代,首先由於「say」的出現,我們鎖定「they」為人的復數,所以輕松鎖定ADF,所謂真金不怕火來煉,D顯然邏輯不通,F由於其主語也為人,段落第一句永遠不會出現意思不明的代詞(we, you 除外,因為它們可以明確指代廣義的人),故輕松排除F選出真金A。
72此題雖然不是明顯的後文出現代詞,但其前亦有代詞出現,「It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning,」下文承接上文,肯定有聯系,找出「it」的具體指代-the music, 輕松選出B項。(註:也可應用詞彙復現法)
詞彙復現法:情非得已時選擇的一種方法,知道與前後文中有詞彙重復的選項即可,有時也可指含義一致的詞彙,如72
73前文中「but others are happy when their songs are chosen」有「their songs」, F項亦有相同詞彙出現,放進去,意思通曉明白,搞定。
74後文中「Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.有」percent more「,D項亦有相同詞彙出現,且意思連貫,選出即可。
72題中前句中出現」when people are more tired. 「能夠與」tired「相對應的四選項中只有」energy「,累了對應能量,亦可做出此題。
;『貳』 2020年高考英語全國卷2 - 閱讀理解B
Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.
一些家長只要認為對孩子有益,他們就會購買任何高科技玩具,但研究人員認為拼圖有助於提高孩子們的數學相關技能。
Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition after controlling for differences in parents』 income, ecation and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.
芝加哥大學兒童數學發展專家心理學家蘇珊·萊文發現,在2歲到4歲之間玩拼圖游戲的孩子們隨後會發展出更好的空間技能。萊文說,在避免了父母收入、教育程度和父母交談量的差異後,拼圖游戲被認為是認知能力的一個重要預測因素。
The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs ring everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.
研究人員分析了53對父母與子女在家庭日常活動中的視頻記錄,發現26至46個月之間玩拼圖游戲的孩子在54個月大時空間技能更好。
「The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate and translate shapes,」 Levine said in a statement.
「玩拼圖游戲的孩子在評估他們旋轉和變換形狀能力要比沒有玩拼圖游戲的孩子好,」萊文在一份聲明中說。
The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active ring puzzle play than parents of girls.
研究人員要求父母像平時一樣與孩子互動,研究中約有一半的孩子曾玩過拼圖游戲。高收入的父母往往讓孩子多玩些拼圖,玩拼圖的男孩和女孩都會有更好的空間技能。不過,男孩往往玩的拼圖比女孩的更復雜,男孩的父母在玩拼圖游戲時比女孩的父母提供了更多的空間語言,也更活躍。
The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science .
研究結果發表在《發展科學》雜志上。
『叄』 1999年高考英語全國卷 - 閱讀理解E
When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying:「We have to go to work now,」 you're left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools and that the work「they go off」 is to go on the stage in a theater.
當一群孩子禮貌地停止與你的對話,說:「我們現在得去上班了,」你會感到驚訝,當然也會感到不安。畢竟,現吵昌在是20世紀90年代,孩子們工作的想法是不可想像的,直到他們告訴你他們都是舞台學校的學生,「他們要去做」的工作就是在劇院的舞台上表演。
Stage schools often act as agencies to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name 「stage school」 are those few places where children attend full time, with training for the theatre and a general ecation.
舞台學校經常充當中介機構為孩子們提供舞台和電視工作。更應該稱之為「舞台學校」的是少數幾個為孩子們提供全日制學習的地方,包括戲劇培訓和常規教育。
A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?
毫無疑問,參觀這樣的學校,你會發現孩子們很開心。畢竟,活潑的孩子怎麼會滿足於只花半天時間做普通學校的作業,另半天時間表演、唱歌或跳舞呢?
Then of course there is time for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year and those over 13 to 80 days.
當然,孩子們還有機會在一些大型演出中露臉並賺點小錢。一些舞台學校在孩子很小的時候就給他們提供了非常多的專業工作,但法律嚴格限制可以做的工作數量。13歲升鋒扒以下的孩子一年基缺只能做40天,而13以上的孩子一年可以做80天。
The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don't make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.
學校承認,並不是所有的孩子都能在他們正在接受的職業中取得成功。那麼,那些沒有成功的孩子會怎樣呢?雖然所有主要的學校都說他們非常重視孩子取得好的學習成績,但事實似乎表明,情況並非總是如此。

2021全國乙卷D篇文本
During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction(干擾) in his open office, he said, 「That』s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street —so I can focus. "His comment struck me as strange. After all, coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout (布局). But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.
The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50 decibels(分貝),70 decibels, and 85decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however,the participants in the 70 decibels group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop-significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that the right level of background noise—not too loud and not total silence—may actually improve one』s creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus. This kind of"distracted focus"appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that, in our offices, we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others』 conversations while we』re trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process, and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.
32. Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?
A. It helps him concentrate.
B. It blocks out background noise.
C. It has a pleasant atmosphere.
D. It encourages face-to-face interactions.
33. Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?
A. Total silence.
B. 50 decibels.
C. 70 decibels.
D. 85 decibels.
34. What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?
A. Personal privacy unprotected.
B. Limited working space.
C. Restrictions on group discussion.
D. Constant interruptions.
35.What can we infer about the author from the text?
A. He's a news reporter. B. He』s on office manager.
C. He's a professional designer. D. He's a published writer.
答案:ACDD
解讀:
文章大意:辦公環境「噪音」對環境當中的「人的大腦」的影響。「帶入式」噪音和「非帶入式噪音」是有差別的。文本詞數:394。
本文本因為對原文進行了大量的刪減。所以可以看出刪除部分包含以文章main idea為核心的相關research, 也就是缺少了連貫的科學研究過程的闡述,且以作者第一人稱來敘述,研究並非作者親自參與,所以文章style屬於敘事體,高考當中的文本體裁趨近界定為nonfiction范疇的類科普說明文(事實上是缺少科普文所應該具備的要素的)。
文章當中有一個關鍵信息詞彙coworking space。
拓展信息:
聯合辦公(共享辦公)是一種為降低辦公室租賃成本的辦公模式,來自不同公司的個人在聯合辦公空間中共同工作,在特別設計和安排的辦公空間中共享辦公環境,彼此獨立完成各自項目。同樣的,其應該具有以下四個要素:輕服務——免費提供公共辦公空間、網路、茶水、列印、安保服務等夠靈活——即租即用,租期靈活,領包入住分割式——一個辦公場地被劃分為許多小塊,按照自身需求尋找相應共享式——來自不同公司的個人共享一個辦公環境,更加強調空間與人之間的連接。國內的聯合辦公行業,各品牌已經開始有自己較為明晰對的定位和細分客群, 優客工場和氪空間擁有現如今國內最大的空間數量以及經營面積,主張便捷高效的辦公理念,在引入多元化投資機構的同時,已逐步完成了自身生態圈體系的搭建。
2.1第一段當中During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction(干擾) in his open office, he said, 「That』s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street —so I can focus. "His comment struck me as strange. After all, coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout (布局). But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.
本段命題人對原文有一定的改編,首句起到一個引入主題的作用,但對文章整體核心信息並沒有密切的關聯性,所以篇章首句並非都是文本信息具有main idea 有提示作用的關鍵句(如很多文本解讀所述)。整體看,第一段內容屬於中式思維改編,具有一定的跳躍性,但整體信息可以理解。第一段最後兩句的轉折從信息攝入角度看,因信息不足顯得牽強。此處,命題人命制了第一題:
32. Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?
A. It helps him concentrate.
B. It blocks out background noise.
C. It has a pleasant atmosphere.
D. It encourages face-to-face interactions.
其實本題的信息提示點遍布全文。只要讀懂全文,回答這個問題就比較容易。但是僅僅從第一段信息來看,試題的答案的文本信息支持是不足的。而本文當中如本題題干提示題境的the interviewer的選擇僅僅在第一段中提到,因此判斷其相關性很牽強。作為考試題答案選擇A。第一段最後一句是一個過渡句,引起下文提到的研究。但是命題人改編刪減後,下文提到的研究所表述的內容和原文的核心信息發生了偏離,同時「開放辦公環境」和「聯合/共享區域辦公」的差異性沒有體現出來。使得文章主體信息發生了偏離。但是不影響做題。
2.2文本第二段:The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50 decibels(分貝),70 decibels, and 85decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however,the participants in the 70 decibels group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop-significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.
但在70分貝噪音環境中(和咖啡廳里的噪音水平非常接近)的那一組在創造性思維測試中的表現是遠超過其它組的表現的。此外,我們的創造性思維水平在完全安靜的環境中和在85分貝的背景噪音環境中其實並沒有多大差別。此處闡述研究發現人們工作環境的噪音分貝對人們創造性思維的影響。信息直觀陳述。下一題:33. Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?
Total silence. B. 50 decibels. C. 70 decibels. D. 85 decibels. 因為題干信息提示非常具體—— promote creative thinking ability,回讀文章however,the participants in the 70 decibels group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop-significantly outperformed the other groups.既可以選擇答案為C。此處,從做題角度需要考生讀懂幾個關鍵數字(分貝)相關聯的信息。上句是一個復雜巨,把破折號部分去掉,理解outperform基本就可以理解此處信息點,選擇正確答案。
2.3 文本第三段和第四段
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that the right level of background noise—not too loud and not total silence—may actually improve one』s creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus. This kind of"distracted focus"appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that, in our offices, we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others』 conversations while we』re trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process, and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.
這兩段信息也是經過命題人以自己的思維模式刪減改編的。整體上已經偏離了原文所要傳遞的科學規范的邏輯思路和信息。變成了命題人自己的thoughts。所以從文章精準信息傳遞上比較欠缺嚴謹性。第三段所表達的內容基本屬於相關研究結果。屬於對「開放式辦公環境」噪音影響思維的一個研究作證,但並非是「開放式」辦公環境思維能力受干擾的直接相關因素。直接因素是:熟悉環境下人們交談等內容對聽者所引發的代入感才是真正的「干擾」。此處命題:
34. What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?
A. Personal privacy unprotected.
B. Limited working space.
C. Restrictions on group discussion.
D. Constant interruptions.
題干提示下的四個備選答案ABC三個選項在文中基本沒有出現相關信息。只有D可以被選為正確答案。此題的問題在於背離真實科學信息而設立的情境。那麼這種閱讀理解以及閱讀理解考查就是虛假的理解測評。
35.What can we infer about the author from the text?
A. He's a news reporter. B. He』s on office manager.
C. He's a professional designer. D. He's a published writer.
最後一個題目設置的比較頭重腳輕,需要回到文章首句。基本就可以選擇答案了。這個題目從測試目標看效果不太理想。
總結:本文內容特色提及了關於「人腦對於噪音」的影響反應。屬於科普知識。但是文章語境涉及的是辦公環境,是學生所不熟悉的信息。與學生生活學習相關性不大。同時,此類研究並非學術界主流話題研究,非熱點話題。文章經過刪減改變後信息傳遞發生了本質變化,違背了傳遞真實信息的原則,也就是,讀者攝取的可能是不真實的信息。這是本文文本所變現的問題。本篇高考閱讀理解難度從考場答題角度來說屬於中等或中等偏下。題目設置以及干擾項並非很完整。
A few years ago, ring a media interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still ponder often. Ranting about the level of distraction in his open office, he said, 「That』s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street — so I can focus.」
While I fully support the backlash against open offices, the comment struck me as odd. After all, coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout.
But I recently came across a series of studies examining the effect of sound on the brain that reveals why his strategy works.
From previous research, we know that workers』 primary problem with open or cubicle-filled offices is the unwanted noise.
But new research shows that it may not be the sound itself that distracts us…it may be who is making it. In fact, some level of office banter in the background might actually benefit our ability to do creative tasks, provided we don』t get drawn into the conversation. Instead of total silence, the ideal work environment for creative work has a little bit of background noise. That』s why you might focus really well in a noisy coffee shop, but barely be able to concentrate in a noisy office.
One study, published in the Journal of Consumer Research, found that the right level of ambient noise triggers our minds to think more creatively. The researchers, led by Ravi Mehta of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking.
Participants were randomized into four groups and everyone was asked to complete a Remote Associates Test (a commonly used measurement that judges creative thinking by asking test-takers to find the relationship between a series of words that, as first glance, appear unrelated). Depending on the group, participants were exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50 decibels, 70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however, the participants in the 70 decibels group (those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop) significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that our creative thinking doesn』t differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise — the equivalent of a loud garbage disposal or a quiet motorcycle. Since none of us presumably want to work next to a garbage disposal or motorcycle, I found this surprising.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that the right level of background noise — not too loud and not total silence — may actually boost one』s creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may disrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus. This type of 「distracted focus」 appears to be the optimal state for working on creative tasks. As the authors write, 「Getting into a relatively noisy environment may trigger the brain to think abstractly, and thus generate creative ideas.」
In another study, researchers used frontal lobe electroencephalographic (EEG) machines to study the brain waves of participants as they completed tests of creativity while exposed to various sound environments. The researchers found statistically significant changes in creativity scores and a connection between those scores and certain brain waves. As in the previous study, a certain level of white noise proved the ideal background sound for creative tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The quiet chatter of colleagues and the gentle thrum of the HVAC should help us focus. The problem may be that, in our offices, we can』t stop ourselves from getting drawn into others』 conversations or from being interrupted while we』re trying to focus. Indeed, the EEG researchers found that face-to-face interactions, conversations, and other disruptions negatively affect the creative process. By contrast, a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of ambient noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.
Taken together, the lesson here is that the ideal space for focused work is not about freedom from noise, but about freedom from interruption. Finding a space you can hide away in, regardless of how noisy it is, may be the best strategy for making sure you get the important work done.
原文翻譯:
相信很多人都有這樣的感受:在很吵的咖啡廳能夠非常專注地工作,但在開放式的辦公室卻很難做到專注。究竟為什麼會出現這種現象呢?研究表明,適當水平的環境噪音能激發我們的思維進行更有創造性地思考。讓我們在工作中分心的可能並不是噪音本身,而是是誰製造的這些聲音。在開放式的辦公室,我們通常無法阻止自己被其他人的談話內容所吸引和帶入,或是當我們想集中注意力時卻經常被其他人打斷和打擾。適合專注工作的理想工作環境並不是沒有一點噪音的安靜環境,而是一種不會受到他人打斷和干擾的環境。
幾年前,有一位媒體記者朋友針對我剛出版的一本新書對我做了一次專訪,專訪期間,這位媒體記者說的一段讓我至今都經常思考的話。他說,他所在的開放式辦公環境的噪音讓他非常容易分心,對此他已經忍無可忍,於是他在公司辦公樓街對面的一個聯合辦公空間辦了一個會員,他在那裡能更加專注地工作。
開放式的辦公環境的各種噪音容易讓人分心,對於這一點我非常認同,也深有體會。但是這位記者朋友說到的聯合辦公空間能夠讓他更加專注地工作,這一點卻讓我很難理解。畢竟聯合辦公空間通常採用的也是開放式的辦公布局。
但是最近當我看了一系列研究聲音對大腦的影響方面的文章後,我才開始理解為什麼我的那位媒體朋友為了能專注地工作而選擇在聯合辦公空間工作而不願在自己的開放式辦公室工作。
根據之前的研究,我們知道,開放式辦公環境讓大家最頭疼的一個問題就是有各種大家不想聽到的噪音。
但是最新的研究發現,讓我們在工作中分心的可能並不是聲音本身,而是是誰製造的這些聲音。實際上,適度的辦公室幽默和閑言笑語對我們完成一些創造性的工作是有幫助的,只要我們自己不被這種閑言笑語帶進去就行。適合創造性工作的理想工作環境其實並不是那種一點噪音都沒有的絕對安靜的環境,而是有那種有適度水平的背景噪音的環境。這也是為什麼你能夠在一個有點吵的咖啡廳里專注工作,而在一個嘈雜的辦公室里卻很難集中精力工作。
《消費者研究周刊》發布的一份研究報告顯示,適當水平的環境噪音能激發我們的思維進行更有創造性地思考。伊利諾伊大學香檳分校的Ravi Mehta教授帶領一些研究人員做了這樣一項研究:研究了不同水平的噪音是如何影響那些正在進行創造性思維測試的研究對象的。
研究對象被隨機分為四組,每個人都被要求完成一項遠距離聯想測試(註:研究創造力問題的一種測驗方法。通常,提供幾個相隔較遠的片語,猜測它們共同的關聯詞。如,「鹽 、 深 、 沫」,它的關聯詞是「海」。創造性思考是將聯想得來的元素重新整合的過程。新結合的元素相互之間聯想的距離越遠,這個思維的過程或問題的解決就更有創造力。有創造力的人的聯想不同於一般人。有創造力的人他們有廣泛的聯想,一個元素可以與許多其他元素連接;而一般人的元素連接則比較少)。以組為單位,我們會為研究對象在測試過程中設置不同水平的噪音,從完全的靜音到50分貝、70分貝和85分貝的噪音。大部分分組之間的差異其實並不是太大,但在70分貝噪音環境中(和咖啡廳里的噪音水平非常接近)的那一組在創造性思維測試中的表現是遠超過其它組的表現的。此外,我們的創造性思維水平在完全安靜的環境中和在85分貝的背景噪音環境中其實並沒有多大差別。
因為在70分貝的噪音環境中的那一組的研究對象在創造性思維測試中的表現明顯好於其它組,因此研究認為,恰當水平的背景噪音(噪音不是太大,也不太過安靜)實際上是有助於提高一個人的創造性思維能力的。恰當水平的背景噪音可能會打亂我們正常的思維模式,使我們的想像力得以漫遊,但又不至於會讓我們無法集中注意力。這種「分心式的專注」能夠讓我們以最佳狀態完成創造性任務。正如作者所寫的的那樣:「在一個相對嘈雜的環境中可能會刺激我們的大腦進行更加抽象性地思考,從而產生創造性的想法。」
在另一項研究中,當研究對象在不同水平的噪音環境下完成創造性思維測試的時候,研究人員使用額葉腦電圖(EEG)機器來研究研究對象的腦電波。研究人員發現,研究對象的創造性思維的表現分數在不同噪音環境下的變化是非常大的,同時還發現這個分數與特定的腦電波是有緊密聯系的。和此前的研究結果一樣,一定水平的白噪音環境是完成創造性任務的理想環境。
所以問題來了:為什麼我們中的大部分人都討厭在開放式的辦公室里辦公呢?同事們之間小聲安靜的交談和空調系統製造的柔和聲音應該是能幫助我們集中注意力的。但問題是,在我們所處的開放式辦公室里,我們通常無法阻止自己被其他人的談話內容所吸引和帶入,或是當我們想集中注意力時卻經常被其他人打斷和打擾。事實上,腦電圖研究人員發現,面對面的交流、交談和其他干擾會對人們的創造性工作過程產生負面影響。相比之下,聯合辦公空間或咖啡館提供了一定程度的陌生環境噪音,同時也能讓自己免受他人的打擾,不會有人在你努力集中注意力工作的時候走過來打斷你、干擾你。
總的來說,我們通過上述這些研究成果學到的是:適合專注工作的理想工作環境並不是沒有一點噪音都沒有的決定安靜的環境,而是一種不會受到他人打斷和干擾的環境。因此,找到一個你可以沉浸進去專注工作的環境,不管這個環境有多嘈雜,這才是確保你能完成重要工作的最佳策略。

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. 「I』m not a trained musician, but I』ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.」
羅伯特·蒂特頓白天是個律師,業余時間,他和鋼琴家瑪麗亞·拉斯波娃一起上台——不是作為音樂家,而是作為她的翻頁師。「我不是一個熟練的音樂家,但我學會了閱讀音樂,所以我可以幫助瑪麗亞表演。」
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group』s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn』t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
蒂特頓是歐米茄樂團的主席,在過去四年裡一直是該組織的官方翻頁師。他的工作是坐在鋼琴家旁邊翻閱樂譜,這樣音樂家就不必自己動手而破壞聲音的連續。他說他變得和舞台上那些演奏樂器的人一樣緊張。
「A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don』t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.」 Mr Titterton explained.
蒂特頓解釋道:「這份工作需要很多技能。當你必須翻到正確的位置時,你得確保不要一次翻兩頁,確保發現音樂中的重復部分。」。
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of 「nodding」 to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
做一個翻頁師需要大量的練習。有些曲子長達40分鍾,最多需要翻50頁,包括重復段落的往回翻。在台上無聲的交流是關鍵,每個鋼琴家都有自己的「點頭」風格來示意翻頁,這需要他們和翻頁師練習。
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. 「I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,」 Mr Titterton said, 「Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.」
不過和所有的表演一樣,有時也會出問題。」我正准備翻到下一頁,但翻頁的氣流讓剩餘的幾頁從架子上掉了下來,」蒂特頓先生說,「幸好我抓住了它們,把它們放回去。」
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
大多數翻頁師是鋼琴專業的學生或是有前途的鋼琴演奏家,盡管拉斯波娃女士曾經讓她的丈夫在舞台上幫她翻頁。
「My husband is the worst page turner,」 she laughed. 「He』s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 『Turn, turn!』 「Robert is the best page turner I』ve had in my entire life.」
「我丈夫是最糟糕的翻頁師,」她笑道,「他沉浸入音樂,感受每個音符,我不得不說:『翻頁、翻頁!』羅伯特是我一生中遇到的最棒的翻頁師。」

試題文本第一段:Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person』s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and 「people skills.」 Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
原文節選第一段對照:Popularization has in some cases distorted the original scientific definition of emotional intelligence. Many people now equate emotional intelligence with almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and "people skills." Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
1. 本段關鍵信息詞彙:changed, popularization, original, misunderstand, makeup, far beyond, skill-based,but,
a. Popularization: 為大眾所普遍接受的(對普通公眾有吸引力的行為、或者現象)
b.makeup: 取含義 (N-UNCOUNT 天性;性格)Some-one's make-up is their nature and the various qualities in their character.
There was some fatal flaw in his makeup, and as time went on he lapsed into long silences or became off-hand.
他的性格有致命的缺陷,隨著時間的推移,他陷入了久久的沉默,或者變得漠然。
2. 黑體詞部分從語篇思維角度可能會是影響閱讀理解的關鍵詞,也可能是命題題點所需要支持的信息詞。
32.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?
A. It can be measured by an IQ test.
B. It helps to exercise a person』s mind.
C. It includes a set of emotional skills.
D. It refers to a person』s positive qualities.
本題題干提問信息詞彙:misunderstanding。相對應上面2提到的閱讀以及命題關鍵詞:misunderstood。本題的四個選項對這一部分進行了paraphrase,干擾項把原文信息進行了相反的paraphrase,正確項貌似對信息almost everything desirable 進行了paraphrase:It refers to a person』s positive qualities.但事實上,desirable 和positive 是兩個具有不同性質的修飾類形容詞。兩者嚴謹來講不能同指同一事物。此處,答案選擇D。
文本第一段命題人修改了兩個信息詞distorted—changed;equate—misunderstood。這兩對詞彙的替換是否恰當,供讀者們探討。本觀點認為有欠妥當,因為欠妥當,引起32題的設計結合原文讓人感覺不地道。Distort相似與misunderstood,而equate和misunderstood基本很難語義相關。
考試文本第二段:We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
We prefer to define emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either prosocial or antisocial purposes. The ability to accurately perceive how others are feeling may be used by a therapist to gauge how best to help her clients, whereas a con artist might use it to manipulate potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one an ethical person.
1.標色部分為「第二段」的試題文本和原文改動詞彙對比。試題文本被認為在此處劃分了另一段落。是否符合語篇寫作形式邏輯,需要從寫作技巧上進行具體分析。
2.事實上,define無需改為describe。Prosocial or antisocial purposes改為good or bad purposes已經改變了,原作者的寫作意圖,兩者含義區別很大,會給讀者造成一定的思維干擾。perceive,understand,know這樣的替換還是可以的。therapist/doctor,gauge/find, client/ patient,whereas/while, con artist/cheater的替換也可以接受。Ethical 應該是課標詞彙,無需修改。
3.「The ability< to accurately understand how others are feeling >may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. 」這是一個復雜句子,the ability 指上文提到的emotional intelligence所代表的能力。The ability may be used by a doctor to find...whereas (此處還是覺得原詞更好)表示「指定性轉折對比」,醫生可以用以對症治療,騙子也可能拿來行騙。得出結論:有情商的人群可能是具有兩面性的分類人群。
33. Why does the author mention 「doctor」 and 「cheater」 in paragraph 2?
A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a fact. D. To make a prediction.
此題屬於細節理解題。理解了原文信息就可以讀懂題干。但是選項信息區別性不是太大,命題人從主觀角度給出D為標准答案。比較起來,D為最佳。AC並沒有原則上的非正確性的信息支持。
考試文本第三段:Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重視) on emotion by employers, ecators and others interested in promoting social well-being.
原文對照:Although popular claims regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis on emotion by employers, ecators and others interested in promoting social welfare.
1. Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful.
雖然關於情商的流行(大眾化)觀點遠遠超出了研究所能提供的合理支持(論證),但宣傳的總體效果是利大於弊。
a.run far ahead of :遠遠跑在前面。此處語境指「遠遠超過」。
b.publicity n.(媒體的)關注,宣傳,報道;宣傳業;廣告宣傳工作;傳播工作
2. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis on emotion by employers, ecators and others interested in promoting social welfare.
這種普及(媒體宣傳形成的人們的普遍認知)最積極的方面是僱主、教育工作者和其他關心促進社會福利的人對情感的一種新的和急需的強化。
試題文本第四段:
The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.
原文對照:The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and research psychology reevaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve humans adaptively in everyday life.
此處research psychology/researchers,humans/people的替換意義不是很大,原文詞彙更加貼切達意。
1.The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped boththe public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.情商的普及幫助公眾和研究者重新評估情感的功能以及它們如何在日常生活中適應性地為人們服務。
34. What is the author』s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
詢問作者情感態度的試題一般可以通過文章信息獲得答案。文本3.4段表明作者的態度是肯定的。
試題文本第五段:
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives ( 視角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
1. Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion.
雖然情緒智力的持續流行的吸引力是可取的,我們希望這種關注將激發對情緒的科學和學術研究的更大興趣。
2. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives ( 視角) from which to study how people manage their lives.
我們希望在未來的幾十年裡,科學的進步將提供新的視角以此來研究人們如何管理(引領)自己的生活。此處,原文當中的navigate要比修改後的manage更能表達意義。
3.Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
情商,以其對頭腦和心靈的關注,可能會為我們指明正確的方向。
原文對照:
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is both warranted and desirable, we hope that such attention will stimulate a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in cognitive and affective science will offer intertwining perspectives from which to study how people navigate their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may adequately serve to point us in the right direction.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?
A. Its appeal to the public. B. Expectations for future studies.
C. Its practical application. D. Scientists with new perspectives.
此題的命題點屬於對段落大意進行概括,關聯關鍵詞「hope,will,may」, 鏈接答案中的expectations。D項的語言表述是有問題的。B項可以改為:Expectations for future studies on it. C項可以改為:The practical application on it.
總結:本文是節選。文章基本表意完整。選取這一部分視角和普通關於情商的認知有一定的差異性。也正是這種認知差異性使得本文通過英語傳達的思想略有難度。文本有一些復雜句,但整體句式整齊,沒有偏怪句式,不會產生明顯的句式語言障礙。當然,也會對學生的基本語法習得情況有一定的區分度。試題命制中規中矩。試題文本被命題人劃分為5段,從文法角度是否嚴謹科學有待考證。建議語篇分析此文時酌情科學進行。

短文改錯答題技巧
短文改錯是有一定的規律可循的,縱觀近幾年的高考試題及我們平常的模擬考試,可以發現短文改錯主要有以下十大錯誤:
1、形容詞與副詞的誤用。如exciting與excited,hard與hardly,possible與possibly,here與there等,以及形容詞與副詞的比較級與最高級。
2、名詞的單復數誤用。如在several,many,various,different,a few,one of等之後,常用名詞的復數,在every與each之後常用單數。
3、代詞的誤用。如you與your,it』s與its,it與they或them,one與ones,賓格(如me)與反身代詞(如myself)等的誤用。
4、介詞的誤用、缺少或多餘。常見的如in與on,to與for,instead與instead of,because與because of等的誤用。
5、時態的錯誤。看一篇 文章 ,要有一種大局觀,要上前下掛,看看上下文的時態是否一致。

高考英語備考要注意什麼
作文 不要背,心態很重要
千萬不要讓孩子整篇整篇地背誦 範文 ,因為高考考核的是綜合運用語言的能力,讓你押中題的情況幾乎不可能出現。所以大家還是重在積累,把平常遇到的、聽力中聽到的精彩詞句都可以記下來,靈活運用到 高考作文 中去,整篇整篇地背範文反而會限制考生的思維,因此完全沒必要。
按部就班地放慢步伐復習,不要搞突襲,調整心態,防止考試時狀態不好出現問題。臨考前的心態也很重要。研究近三年高考題,習慣高考題型防止不適應,不要一味要求難度,要梳理培養英語思維

The Biggest Stadiums in the World
世界上最大的體育場
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 8 A.Q., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best known stadium are continues to inform contemporary design. Rome』s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city』s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
從古希臘時代起,人們就開始湧入體育場。大約公元前8世紀,羅馬人建造了羅馬競技場,它仍然是世界上最著名的體育場,並繼續為當代設計提供參考。羅馬斗獸場高157英尺,有80個入口,可容納5萬人。然而,與該市容納約25萬人的馬克西姆斯馬戲團相比,這只是小菜一碟。
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan』s desire for a good view and a comfortable seat-tend to keep stadium capacities slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
如今,安全法規(更不用說現代體育迷對良好視野和舒適座位的渴望)往往要求體育場容量小一些。就連足球迷也傾向於每人都有一個座位;數千人站著觀看比賽的日子一去不復返了。
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
對於世界上最大的體育場,我們使用了迄今為止由World Atlas提供的數據,以下是根據其規定的永久容量的排名以及來自官方體育場網站的最新信息。
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
所有這些體育場都仍在運行、開放,舉辦世界最大的體育賽事。
