D.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently surprised Chinese students when he spoke to them in Chinese. In a speech at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Zuckerberg spoke Chinese for about 30 minutes. With Chinese having the most native speakers in the world and the study of the Chinese language increasing rapidly around the world, Zuckerberg’s talk raises a question: Is Chinese the language of the future? Could it replace English as the world’s international language?
Chinese will grow in importance, especially for people who want to work and do business in
China. But I don’t think Chinese will replace English any time soon.
American movies, music, television, video games have wider audiences, which is one reason for English’s popularity as a foreign language. So far China’s success in this aspect has been very limited. Chinese films, Chinese television shows and Chinese music don’t have a huge following outside of China. In addition, English is seen as a more neutral(中立的) language than Chinese. Unlike Chinese, English is not associated with one county. It is a universal language and is spoken in more than 170 counties. In 2014, China hosted the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Beijing, China. But the meeting was not in Chinese. The official language of APEC is English.
The most important reason is that Chinese is a more difficult language to learn. It is estimated that it would take a native English speaker 2,000 hours to reach professional fluency in Chinese. That is four times longer than it would take to reach the same level in Dutch, French, or Spanish. While Chinese grammar is much simpler, Chinese has a tone and writing system that is more difficult for alt learners to master.
Last but not least, more people learn English than Chinese. A recent survey by Gallup showed that only one in four Americans is multilingual, which means only 25% of Americans can speak a foreign language besides English. For most Americans, learning a foreign language is a choice, not a necessity. China Daily has estimates that 400 million Chinese are studying English. That means China has more English learners that the U.S. has English speakers.
33. Mark Zuckerberg surprised Chinese students by __________.
A. singing Chinese songs B. wearing Chinese clothes
C. making a speech in Chinese D. speaking highly of Chinese
34.Which of the following contributes to English’s popularity as a foreign language?
A. American growing economy. B. American pop culture.
C. American freedom of speech. D. American ecation system.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. The results pop culture development brings about.
B. The influence English has on the global economy.
C. The suggestions on how to master Chinese in a short time.
D. The reasons why English would be more popular than Chinese.

Reading comprehension is an important skill to master for academic success. Many students have difficulty in understanding the point of a story and remembering what a story is about ----the basics of this task. Luckily, by following some basic tips, you can improve at reading comprehension.
Work on your vocabulary. Keep up on vocabulary lessons in school, and look up definitions of words when you read to master as many words as you can. __36_.
Read with your mind, eyes and lips. __37_Just reading with your mind could mean you’re not paying enough attention. You don’t have to read aloud for reading comprehension, but go over each word with your eyes at least.
_38_To understand what a paragraph is saying, you can often look through the first sentence. This should tell you the point of the paragraph, and the rest should be supplemental(附加的) information. Look at the last sentence to complete the idea.
Identify the structure of the story to know what to look for in analyzing it. Some stories are written in the order of time. Others start from the point of the future and backtrack(倒敘). Still others are about proving the point of a thesis with examples. __39_
Try to predict what’s going to happen next. Reading actively promotes reading comprehension. _40_This will help you remember the details after you’ve finished.
A.Be aware of the function of paragraphs.
B.Concentrate on the meaning of words when reading aloud.
C.The larger vocabulary you have, the easier reading comprehension will be.
D.While reading, guess which way the story is going or how the story will end up.
E.Reading with your eyes and lips helps you remember what you’ve read.
F.Figure out what kind of structure you’ve looking at to understand the story better.
G.If you can understand the writer’s purpose between the lines, you’re doing a good job.

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。

『叄』 高考英語閱讀文章
閱讀是人們獲取信息的重要途徑。對於我國中學英語教學來說，閱讀始終為中學英語教學的關鍵組成部分，而高考英語是中學英語教學中非常關鍵的組成部分。下面就是我給大家整理的高考 英語閱讀 文章 ，希望大家喜歡。
高考英語閱讀文章篇一：交友
Many of us mistakenly believe that it's wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed(有缺陷)?
If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.
Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some o f the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.
You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior(自卑) because you don't have much money and you don't drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don't have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes yo u as a person.
The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.
36. According to the author ___________ plays an important role in making friends.
A. admitting your shortcomings B. self criticism C. modesty D. confidence
【答案】D
【解析】推理判斷題。根據a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people.既然我們強調我們的缺點有可能在交朋友方面成為絆腳石，那麼我們就應該自信，故選D。
37. If you are not liked by a person, _________ .
A. you should find the reason in yourself
B. you’d better talk with the person face to face
C. you may not be the one to be blamed
D. you and that person misunderstand each other
【答案】C
【解析】細節理解題。根據If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy.不喜歡你也許和你一點關系都沒有，你也許不應該受到責備，故選C。
38. We can learn from the third paragraph that ____________ .
A. your good qualities may turn out to be your flaws
B. your weakness may also be your strengths in some way
C. your negative qualities cause a person to reject you
D. you’ll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities
【答案】B
【解析】細節理解題。根據In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else.你的弱點也許是在某方面是你的強項，故選B。
39. Which of the following is true according to the author?
A. It is important to lose weight.
B. It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.
C. Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.
D. If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve yo ur physical beauty.
【答案】C
【解析】細節理解題。根據If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends.內心的美比外在的美要重要的多，故選C。
40. What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?
A. How to find your good qualities.
B. How to make friends.
C. How to make self criticism.
D. How to lose weight.
【答案】A
【解析】細節理解題。根據The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.既然找到了交不上朋友的原因 ，那麼就應該找出自己的好的品質，下面就應該寫如何找到自己好的品質，故選A。
高考英語閱讀文章篇二：太陽能
Sunny countries are often poor. A shame, then, that solar power is still quite expensive. Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to get round this. In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity, a battery that can deliver a three amp(安培) current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light-emitting diode(二極體). The firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to light two small rooms and to power a mobile-phone charger for seven hours. Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.
The trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the system's keeper must buy a scratch card—for as little as a dollar—on which is printed a reference number. The keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the household solar unit, by SMS to Eight19. The company's server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit.
Users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. In fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. After buying around $80 worth of scratch cards—which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 m onths—the user will own it. He will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10-watt solar cell.
In that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a slightly higher rate. Users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably.
According to Eight19's figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around $10 a month on oil—enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps—plus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of one of Eight19's basic solar units will spend around half tha t, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar tech nology falls, it should get even cheaper.
41. The underlined word “get round” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _______ .
A. make use of B. come up with C. look into D. deal with
【答案】D
【解析】詞義猜測題。make use of利用; come up with想出; look into調查; deal with處理。根據solar power is still quite expensive及Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to因為太陽能仍然很貴，所以Eight19發明了一個新的 方法 來解決這個問題，故選D。
42. What should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up?
A. Buy a scratch card.
B. Recharge it outside.
C. Buy another solar cell.
D. Return it to the company.
【答案】B
【解析】細節理解題。根據文章第一段最後一句Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.可知沒有電了，你可以把它放在外面重新充電，故選A。
43. How much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a 2.5-watt solar cell?
A. Around $10. B. Around $80. C. Around $90. D. Around $180.
【答案】C
【解析】細節理解題。根據文章1,3段After buying around $80 worth of scratch cards—which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 months—the user will own it. 和In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity可知在你擁有這些之前，你要花費90元。故選C。
44. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________ __.
A. Kenyan families would find it difficult to afford the solar cell
B. using the solar cell would help Kenyan families save money
C. few Kenyan families use mobile phones for lack of electricity
D. the company will make a great profit from selling solar cells
【答案】B
【解析】推理判斷題。根據文章最後一段The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around $10 a month on oil—enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps—plus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of one of Eight19's basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper.可知這樣做會讓太陽能的成本降低，會給肯亞的人來到好處。故選B。
45. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Solar Energy: Starting from Scratch.
B. Eight19: a creative British Company.
C. Kenyan Families: Using Solar Energy for Free.
D. Poor Countries: Beginning to Use Solar Ene rgy
【答案】A
【解析】標題歸納題。根據文章主題段第一段內容可知本文講述的是Eight19,這家英國的公司所採用的使用太陽能的一種新的方法，故選A。
高考英語閱讀文章篇三：加薪
While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.
The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal(一向節儉的)Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!
Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!
Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.
After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”
Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.
The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.
31. What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?
A. To request a wage increase from his boss.
B. To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.
C. To celebrate his success with his wife at home.
D. To ask his boss to come for dinner.
【答案】A
【解析】細節理解題。由“he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise.”可知他打算要求老闆給他加薪。故選A。
32. On his way back home, Andrew _________.
A. felt weak in the knees
B. was punished by the traffic policeman
C. was too anxious to share the news
D. couldn’t wait to enjoy a meal
【答案】C
【解析】細節理解題。由“Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits”中“盡管超出了城市及國家的最高車速”可 知Andrew車開的很快，說明他很急切地回家去分享這個好消息。故選C。
33. Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE?
A. Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster.
B. Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the company.
C. Andrew’s boss agreed to his request.
D. One of Andrew’s colleagues had told his wife the good news.
【答案】D
【解析】推理判斷題。第五段“a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor.”提到妻子還寫了一封信。根據後面信的內容，妻子不知道他加薪的要求是否取得了老闆的同意而准備了兩封信。所以沒有人告訴他妻子這個好消息。故選D。
34. Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day?
A. She was confident of his getting a pay raise.
B. She meant to show her support whatever the result would be.
C. She believed t hat her husband was the best in his company.
D. She wanted to express her gratitude for his devoti on to the family.
【答案】B
【解析】細節理解題。“Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work. ”說明Tina對他的支持不是基於他在工作上的成功。無論結果如何她都會支持他。故選B。
35. We can conclude from the text that ______.
A. we should never be afraid to ask for what is e to us
B. work hard and you will be rewarded
C. many fears turn out to be unfounded
D. unconditional love brin gs courage and strength
【答案】D
【解析】推理判斷題。最後一句“we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our su ccess or failure.”說明無條件的愛帶來勇氣和力量。

『伍』 高中英語閱讀理解題型
高中英語閱讀理解題型
閱讀理解是英語考試中的一個重點和難點。下面由我為大家帶來了高中英語閱讀理解題型解讀和解題技巧，一起來看看吧!
【高中閱讀理解題型解讀】
(一)閱讀是獲得更綜合、更復雜、更精確信息的必要手段，考生在做閱讀理解時，不僅要看懂文章的字面意思，還需要針對不同題材和體裁的篇目運用不同的方法作出正確的選擇。一般來說，詞彙、閱讀速度和理解能力是閱讀理解中三個最重要且有相互聯系的因素。
閱讀的方法可以使用以下幾種：
1.跳讀：就是快速的一步閱讀法。實際上是有選擇閱讀，找關鍵詞。用這種閱讀方法回答who、what、when、where之類的問題最為有效。
2.略讀：指比跳讀慢些的二步閱讀法。即泛泛地、粗略地快速閱讀，目的是了解大意，對文章有個總的概念。此種閱讀方法能回答why、how之類的問題。
3.精讀：即最細致、最慢的深層閱讀方法，目的是求得對所讀文章的全部意義的理解與掌握。
在使用閱讀技巧時盡量做到以下幾點：
1.帶著問題閱讀短文。
2.找出主題句、確定中心思想。
3.推斷單詞、句子和文章的含義。
4.盡快選擇答案。
(二)不同體裁文章的特點及解題技巧
1.記敘文
記敘文又可分傳記類和故事類。 傳記類文章在閱讀中時間是全文的關鍵，根據時間我們可以找到相關的事件，抓住文章的主要內容。故事類文章情節性較強，閱讀時要注意故事中的時間、地點、人物和發生的事件，這些都是文章中的主要內容和信息，對於准確理解文章十分重要。
2.說明文
說明文是對事物的形狀、性質、特徵、成果或功用等進行介紹，解釋或闡述的文章。把握所說明事物的特徵和本質是理解說明文的關鍵。說明事物特徵的方法很多，主要有定義法、解釋法、比較法、比喻法、數字法、圖表法、引用法和舉例法等。
數字說明文
在閱讀數字說明文時要特別注意文中數字的含義，從這些數字中可以找到文章的主要內容。
解釋說明文
解釋說明文著重說明事物的本質、特徵和功用等。許多科普文章都屬於這一類。在閱讀這類文章時要學會解決what, how, why 等一類的問題。它們是文章的關鍵。如能帶著這些問題閱讀，將會更迅速抓住文章的主題。
比較說明文 比較說明文是通過對比方法說明問題。在閱讀這類文章時要善於把握全篇陳述的基本傾向。作者在談論一個有爭議的問題時總要顧及到爭議的各個方面。但是，在一般情況下，作者的陳述總要傾向於某一種觀點。
3.應用文
應用文涉及的.范圍比較廣，包括廣告、通知、書信等。應用文一般語言簡潔，省略及不規范的句子較多。閱讀時一般要求考生全面掌握文章中提供的信息，並運用這些信息去解決問題。因此對題乾的理解尤為重要。
閱讀理解的考題分為客觀理解題(是指在短文中客觀存在的事實，客觀信息的答案一般都可以在原文中找到。即理解文中的具體事實或抽象概念)和主觀理解題(這類問題都不可能直接從原文中找到答案，須通過閱讀文章對文章主旨和深層含義有更深理解，並據此進行判斷和推理)。其中細節理解題和猜測詞義題屬於客觀題;主旨大意題和推理判斷題屬於主觀題。針對不同類型的題目，要在平時的練習過程中，結合具體的題目，給學生進行解題方法的指導和講解。對於客觀題，要提醒他們閱讀時關注文章的細節，如時間，地點或一些具體數字，在選擇答案時，務必從原文中找到確切的依據。 我們可將閱讀理解歸納為以下四大題型，根據閱讀理解題考查角度的不同，可採用不同的解題技巧來應付。
Ⅰ.事實細節題
屬於細節類型的閱讀理解題一般只針對某個特定的細節，題型可以多種多樣。此類題型一般分兩種。第一種是直接理解題，在原文中可以直接找到答案。第二種是詞義轉換題，正確選項是原文有關詞語和句子的轉換。做此類試題一定要抓住事件發生的時間、地點、人物、發展過程和結局等環節，所選答案一定要符合原文，切不可望文生義。這類題型的主要提問方式常為：
①Which of the following is true/NOT true in the passage?
②Which of the following statements is NOT discussed/mentioned in the passage?
③Which is the right order of the events given in the passage?
④All the following statements are NOT true excep. 細節題的破解一般採用尋讀法，即先看試題，再讀文章。對有關信息進行快速定位，再將相關信息進行整合、甄別、分析、對比，有根有據地排除干擾項，選出正確答案。此法加強了閱讀的針對性，提高了做題的准確率，節省了寶貴的時間。尋讀法還特別適用於對圖形表格類題材的理解。做此類型的題目還要特別注意句子的邏輯關系。英語中有許多功能詞，如：表因果關系的because, since, as等;表轉折關系的but, however ,on the contrary, on the other hand等等。
Ⅱ.猜測詞義題
在高考閱讀題中，考生遇到的最大障礙往往有兩個：一是被已認識的單詞的某一熟知含義所誤導;二是被完全不認識的單詞的意思所阻礙，從而出現理解偏差或理解困難，影響閱讀的速度。其實解決這兩個困難的一個重要法寶是考生在心目中樹立起上下文觀念，要學會“順藤摸瓜”，通過構詞，語法，定義，同位，對比，因果，常識，上下文等線索確定詞義。
在閱讀解題時要注意從以下七個方面著手：
1)根據定義或解釋、說明猜測生詞的詞義 在be,be called,call等判斷詞出現的判斷句中，或定語從句及標點符號，可以根據已知部分，猜測生詞的含義。例如：
The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year.通過理解定語從句的意思，能猜出herdsman是“牧人”。
2)根據對比關系猜測生詞的詞義 在but,however,yet,otherwise,though這些表示意義轉折的連詞出現的句子中，其前後的詞有明顯對比關系，根據已知的內容，通過這種對比關系，就很容易猜出生詞的詞義了。例如： Though Tom’s face has been washed quite clean, his neck still remains grubby. 和clean意思相對的便是“骯臟的”了，因此可猜出句中grubby的意思是“骯臟的”。
3)通過因果關系猜測詞義 because, since與as是連接原因狀語從句的從屬連詞，so是連接表示結果的狀語從句的連詞，so……that與such……that中的that是連接結果狀語從句的。當這些信息詞出現在有生詞的句子中，通過因果關系，依據已知部分就能猜出生詞的詞義。例如：She wanted the hairdresser to trim her hair a bit because it was too long. 根據because從句所講的意思，我們就可推測trim就是“修剪”之意。
4)根據生活常識猜測詞義
3 運用邏輯推理能力，自身的生活經驗及生活常識。再聯繫上下文能讀懂的部分，可以正確猜出詞義。例如：Most of the roses are beginning to wither because of the cold. 根據句子意思及生活經驗，wither表示“枯萎”。
5)根據同等關系猜測詞義 同等關系，指的是一個詞，一組詞或短語在句中作同一成分，而且它們的詞義都屬於同一范疇。明顯的標志是，這樣的片語或短語中間常常用並列連詞and或or來連接。例如： At forty-two he was in his prime and always full of energy. 從“年齡42歲”以及與prime具有同等關系的full of energy可以猜出prime的意思是“盛年時期”。
6)根據列舉的事例猜測詞義 You can take any of the periodicals: "The World of English". "Foreign Language Teaching in Schools", or "English Learning". 從後面列舉的例子中，可以猜出periodical是“期刊，雜志”的意思。
7)根據構詞法知識猜測詞義 根據學過的構詞法知識，知道詞根和前綴或後綴的意義，就可猜出由它們組成的新詞詞義。
Ⅲ.推理判斷題
做這類題要求考生在閱讀理解整體語篇的同時，又要求學生對作者的態度、意圖及文章細節的發展作正確的推理判斷，力求從作者的角度去考慮，不要固守自己的看法或觀點。不要主觀臆斷，憑空想像，任意發揮，而走入誤區。學生要學會運用主題句去推測、揣摩文字背後作者的意圖，運用歸納、對比、演繹技能，運用背景知識去挖掘文章深層含義，從而正確理解作者的言外之意，同時認真體會文章的語氣與感情基調(如：否定、厭惡、反問、諷刺等)。
這類試題常以如下句式發問：
①What can you conclude/ imply from this passage?
②What’s the author’s attitude(態度)towards……?
③We can infer /learn from the passage that……
如： Once there was something wrong with a machine in a factory. The workers could do nothing but turn to a German engineer for help, who drew a line on it and said, “Take off the part where the line is and change it for a new one. ”The machine, with a new line on, began running well again. The engineer then asked for $ 30,000 for what he had done. The following were what he wrote on a bill, “The new part only costs one dollar, and knowing where the problem with the machine is costs $ 29,999.”
Q: What can you conclude from this passage?
A. the engineer asked for too much money
B. the workers should pay the money
C. the knowledge is worth money
D. the new part could cost more
這篇短文是作者講的一個故事，那麼通過這個故事我們可以判斷出什麼呢?雖然作者沒有言明，但是我們可以斷定，發現問題的所在需要智慧和知識，知識是創造價值的源泉，因此此題的正確答案應為C. Ⅳ.主旨大意題 這種題型要求考生能夠把握文章的總體，並真正理解主題和中心;要求能較好地運用概括、判斷、歸納、推理等邏輯思維方法解題，難度較大，屬於高層次題。

2015上海英語高考真題閱讀理解
(A)
Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art ring several years of research around the world.
For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place ring six freezing weeks called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of artistic freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.
66. According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?
A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.
D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
67. “The heyday of the snowman” (paragraph 4) means the time when___________.
A. snowmen were made mainly by artists
B. snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C. snowmen were politically criticized
D. snowmen caused damaging floods
68. In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.
A. the start of the parade
B. the coming of a longer summer
C. the passing of the winter
D. the success of tradesmen
69. What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?
A. They were appreciated in history
B. They have lost their value
C. They were related to movies
D. They vary in shape and size
參考答案：66. C 67. B 68. C 69. A
(B)
Scary Bunny
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) is the first full-length feature film made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazing plasticine (粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.
Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the town’s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.
The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.
To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and alts. If you liked Wallace and Gromit’s previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, you’ll love this film. Don’t miss it!
70. In the film review, what is paragraph A mainly about?
A. The introction to the leading roles B. The writer’s opinion of acting
C. The writer’s comments on the story D. The background information
71. According to the film review, “the monster” (paragraph B) refers to ______.
A. a gun-crazy hunter B. a brainy dog

初一英語天天練：閱讀理解--煩人的蚊子
We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It』s true that male mosquito doesn』t bite(咬) and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You』re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(癢) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.
1. 「Mosquito」 means _______ in Chinese.
A. 蒼蠅 B. 蜻蜓
C. 跳蚤 D. 蚊子
2. We know mosquitoes very well because ___________.
A. they can be found easily B. they fly here and there

B. You feel terrible when the mosquito bites you.
C. Mosquitoes use blood to lay eggs.
D. All the mosquitoes don』t like to bite people for blood.
答案及解析：
1. D。 「吸血」和「會飛」是mosquitoes的兩個主要特徵。根據這兩個特點，聯系生活常識，即可選定答案。另外，讀罷全文之後，也能將其餘選項予以排除。
2. B。 「We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere.」一句是答案的出處。
3. D。 答案就在「But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood.」這句話之中。
4. C。 答案的依據是「…she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different.」一句。
5. B。 其餘三項在文中都有明確的說明。根據上面那個小題的內容，B項明顯是錯誤的。
高考英語閱讀理解真題解析·最初的和最後的人類
導語：2014高考臨近，我為考生們整理了高考英語閱讀理解真題解析 ， 希望對大家有所幫助。
Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations(文明), broken up by long 「dark ages」 in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.
However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next million? That』s much more difficult.
When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的) in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can』t think of.
So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because we are careless or greedy(貪婪) or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.
Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set you imagination free when you think about the future.
1. A particular mention made of Stapledon』s book in the opening paragraph ________.
A. serves as a description of human history
B. serves an introction to the discussion
C. shows a disagreement of views
D. shows the popularity of the book
2. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that ________.
A. human history is extremely long
B. life has changed a great deal
C. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years
D. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future
3. Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ________.
A. tools used in farming
B. ideas about modern life
C. unknown things in the future
D. hunting skills in the Stone Age
4. according to the writer of the text, imagining the future will ________.
A. serve the interests of the present and future generations
B. enable us to better understand human history
C. help us to improve farming
D. make life worth living(www.nmet168.com)
【答案與解析】 這是一篇由 Olaf Stapledon 所著的《最初的和最後的人類》而引出的關於幻想未來的文章。
1. B。 用排除法解答：先排除 A，因為這篇短文並非是對人類歷史進行描述;再排除C，因為作者在此文章中並非表明對不同觀點的否定;最後排除 D，因為作者並非要說明這本書的普遍意義。至於 B 項內容，正好符合這本書引導人們討論的意圖，故應選 B。
2. D。 文中提及五萬年前，處於狩獵時代的人們不可能勾勒出現代生活的畫卷;也許我們將來會被認為是我們所認為的原始人，正如石器時代的狩獵者和我們相比一樣，可知要預測較為遙遠的未來是一件困難的事情。
3. C。 從上下文可知，這四個詞彙是作者杜撰的，用以形象地表示五萬年後未知的事物和行為。
4. A。 文中提及現在即開始對未來展開想像，是基於兩點理由：人生是有限的;我們可能得到一些對我們自己切實可行的新見解。文中還提及如果我們因粗心大意和貪得無厭而把地球弄得一塌糊塗而不能居住，我們的子孫們就不難找到遷怒於我們的理由，故應選A。

A
Not too big, not too small. Not too hot, not too cold. A newly discovered planet looks just right for life as we know it, according to an international group of astronomers.
Circling a star about 500 light years away, the planet called Kepler-186f is about the same size as Earth. It goes round its star at the right distance for liquid water on the surface. That is a necessary condition for life. But it is not exactly like Earth, it’s more of an Earth’s cousin. It’s not an Earth’s twin. It shares
the same characteristics as Earth, but their parent stars are very different.
Kepler-186f circles a star that is smaller and cooler than our sun. But the planet appears to be a closer relative than most of the hundreds of others discovered so far. Some are huge gas-covered giants with thick atmospheres. Others circle too closely to their stars and are too hot for life. For the first time, we can actually say we now have a planet that is both Earth-sized and circles in its star’s livable zone.
The next step would be to look for signs of life in the atmospheres of these distant world. That would take a more advanced telescope. But budget cuts threaten that task, says University of California at Los Angeles astrophysicist Ben.
“In theory, we could do this in the next couple decades. But in practice, because there’s no money, it’s not going to happen. It’s not going to happen in my lifetime, for example,’’ said Ben. However, NASA’s Elisa Quintana believes that when the next-generation space telescope is used, it will find that we are not alone in the universe. In the meantime, the search continues for other worlds where life may find a home.
21. What do we know about the newly discovered planet?
A. It was discovered by chance.
B. It has some form of life on it.
C. It has suitable conditions for life.
D. It is an ordinary planet like others.
22. The difference between the Earth and Kepler-186f is _________.
A. they circle different parent stars
B. they came into being at different times
C. they move in space at a different speed
D. they orbit their stars at a different distance
23. The discovery of Kepler-186f is remarkable because_______.
A. man has discovered a new home
B. it caused people’s interest in the universe
C. man has found a familiar planet like the Earth
D. it can help man know more about the Earth
24. What does Ben worry about in the future research?
A. Lack of money. B. No cooperation. C. His coming old age. D. His weak influence.
B
Whenever we think of change, we tend to think of something that’s potentially going to push our lives into a period of uncertainty.
Without exception, just the word “change” has the power to create a feeling of anxiety or insecurity and when you put the word ”lifestyle” in front of it, people often feel that they are faced with an unachievable task.
Simply knowing that it would be in your best interests to lose weight and get fitter doesn’t necessarily mean you are going to act upon it, because it can feel like you are standing at the bottom of the mountain looking up at the summit. The journey seems long and hard and you get the sense that if you start it, you would bite off far more than you could chew!
Of course, it’s good to have an idea about your targets, but that doesn’t mean you have to make the entire journey in one go. Change is frequently more acceptable and far more achievable when it is taken in bite-sized pieces. Change doesn’t have to be something you’re always going to start, it’s something you can start right now. A number of small changes that require minor adjustments to your life can work together to cause much bigger change overall. For example, say you allow yourself one can of soda a day. It doesn’t sound a lot, does it? But over a year that one can of soda adds up to you consuming over 60,000 calorie and over 2,000 teaspoon of sugar. Cut out that one can a day and replace it with a bottle of water, something which is far more beneficial to your health, and over the course of the year you could effectively lose 8 kilos.
Losing weight and gaining health for good is all about making a change to your mind. That’s the control centre for everything and if your mind isn’t filled with too much change all in one go, it can develop new habits far more effectively.
Small change originates a chain reaction. It makes you believe in yourself and there will come the moment when you realize you’re actually half way up the mountain looking back at how far you’ve come!
25. Why may people not take action even if they know losing weight does them good?
A. Because they may feel it unachievable.
B. Because they won’t change their lifestyle.
C. Because they can’t stick to change for long.
D. Because they have no clear idea about their targets.
26. The example mentioned in Paragraph 4 is used to show that .
A. change is more achievable when taken in one go
B. change has to be what one always wants to start
C. even small changes require life adjustments

高考英語閱讀題解題技巧
高考英語試題中，閱讀題佔有很大的分值。但是閱讀理解是很多同學丟分的「重災區」。想要做好閱讀題需要單詞的積累，這個要看各位同學平時的習慣，以及是否能將積累到的知識進行熟練的應用，而且，閱讀理解最重要的一點是——審題。
閱讀理解分為完形填空、七選五和文章類閱讀。每種題型的解題技巧是不一樣的。對於高考英語完形填空題，各位同學可以先將全文大致進行瀏覽後，在開始進行解答。當然，如果能直接確定選項，也可以直接做答，同時在無法確定選項時也可以將使用排除法等方法進行做答。
英語文章類閱讀題建議各位同學先將設問進行閱讀，然後帶著問題進行閱讀，一遍閱讀一遍進行答案的尋找，可以省下很多時間，高考英語七選五問題可以從答案開始出發，再到文章，通常是議論文，將重點放在每個小標題中，每個小標題在一定程度上可扮盯殲以決定選項。
