2019高考英語閱讀方法

① 2019天津高考英語試題閱讀理解D簡析

首先看本文的體裁，如何界定？第一、以第一人稱做敘述。第二、涉及到了一定的時間地點人物事件。第三、通過事件敘述有一定的說理。從而大約把本文歸類為說理性敘述文（側重說理，從而有論說文的痕跡）。再看題材，主要圍繞大學選取專業的一些客觀事實來進行敘述的。屬於校園生活、學生生活、捎帶社會認知話題，而文章的主體信息又集中在人文學科的特色上，所以整體行文和語言運用又有一定的專業性特點，這也是文章讓人感覺稍有難度的原因。本篇被設置在五篇閱讀理解題的D篇位置，民間或者約定的說法這是比較難的定位？我不確認。但是同時本套試題中還有另外一篇情節相對簡單的記敘文。

本文以作者的親身經歷為依託，從作者的思維角度闡述問題，那麼就可以定調，它是帶有一定的傾向性的，傾向於作者本人的觀點。所以閱讀時要注意作者本身通過語言描述表達的觀點和態度。命題也會集中在這些點上。

看文章第一段，幾個關鍵詞：but ，so，forced，another but。本段在寫作信息傳遞上有些模糊的地方在於，有一個信息點：

but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing techniques，此處作者沒有交代是選擇了這個專業試讀之後感覺不適合，還是在沒有讀之前根據各種信息的了解主觀上感覺不合適，有些含糊。從而缺少了行文的真實邏輯性，但是不影響整篇文章的核心思想的表達。推測一下，整體感覺脈絡是這樣的：最初想要選擇人文學科——受其他因素影響而選擇了實用的企業管理——就讀企業管理後，不能適應——轉專業回到最初的喜好專業（人文相關）。本段沒有生僻詞彙和不容易駕馭的復雜句式。本段最後一句是關鍵信息，表達了作者的最後選擇。所以可以看試題：

51 Why did the author choose Business Management as his major at first?

命題人選取的角度通過題干信息Business Management ，at first 限定。備選項中acd是本題關鍵選項，c是拼湊的，可以比較容易排除，a選項從邏輯角度是有問題的，邏輯上，假如對某種專業產生倦怠感，是要經過一定的學習之後而可能出現的，這就需要之前曾選擇過這一專業，而本文並沒有闡述清楚，也就是說此處的was tired of…和題干有一定的邏輯沖突。D選項也不是很嚴謹，從原文信息看，作者是受他人以及選擇專業的一些影響而選擇Business management ，這和他自身意願選擇有細微區別的。綜合看四個選項D為最佳答案。此題的幾個邏輯問題是at first 如何界定，最初的want 比較文學和之後的business 的選擇是不是都是作者的want。邏輯問題，有些是比較顯現的有的卻很隱晦，俗話說有「普世邏輯也有各自不同的邏輯」。

文章第二段是作者對於人文學科的觀點態度。第二段第一句可以作為復雜句式來講解語法。關鍵詞是abstract，not applicable 。The worries are …the majors are abstract，…。銜接詞actually後面信息 表達的是作者的真實觀點。Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective(視角).強調了課堂上所討論的觀點。看試題：試題題干限制詞a broad perspective 和原文信息詞彙完全一致，所以做題方法就是點對點回到原文查找信息。這個題目的命制不是很成功，往往點對點限制信息命題，干擾項都是很難設置的，本題也是如此，出現了干擾項設置的尷尬，至於此處的問題具體在哪裡，不做詳細解釋。且此題是在極度細節上的一個小推斷，所以是否是事實上能夠成立的觀點，不能確定。B為答案。

第二段和第三段當中都出現了多個疑問句，都是作者的羅列，從快速閱讀和考場作答角度基本可以略過，正常來說，這些問題也沒有可以設問的題點。

52.According to the author, what is a possible way to gain a broad perspective?

A.Making more friends and learning from them.

B.Exchanging ideas in a philosophy seminar.

C.Opening your mind to future possibilities. D.Getting to know the popular opinion of society.

看下一題：

53.In which of the following situations do soft skills play the most important role?

A.Writing a software program. B.Performing a heart operation.

C.Playing a musical instrument. D.Negotiating with a business partner.

題干核心信息詞soft skills 回原文查找信息…while humanities majors learn 「soft skills」 like communicating effectively，此處的while 表示轉折，和之前提到的stem學科的硬科技相比較，所以軟技能可能涉及的方向就大致可以理解了，此題命制特點同上一題，不再重復。假如學生大腦中直接可以理解soft skills 基本可以不做原文閱讀就可以選出答案。

看下一題，關於job market 在最後一段中作者做了肯定的闡述。The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist』s grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future.這句話是比較優美而達意的一句話，可以用來做句子賞析。quietly creating …，bring a humanist』s grace 使用的比較優美。

翻譯一：就業市場正在悄無聲息地為那些能為我們快速發展的高科技未來帶來人文主義魅力的人創造每周數千個職位空缺。

翻譯二：每周，就業市場都在悄無聲息地創造出數千個職位，虛席以待那些能為我們快速發展的高科技未來帶來人文主義魅力的人們。

根據文章基調和文章最後一段信息答案為C。至於a選項，只能說本文沒有提及。但他是一個相對強干擾項。每周，就業市場都在悄無聲息地創造出數千個職位虛席以待那些能為我們快速發展的高科技未來帶來人文主義魅力的人們。

54.The author believes the job market for Humanities graates is ______. A.recovering

B.depressing

C.promising

D.challenging

最後一個題是標題歸納。滿足標題歸納題目的特點，答案A。

55.What could be the best title for the passage?

A.Stick to Your Desired Major

B.Broaden Your Perspective

C.How to Acquire Soft Skills

D.Humanities vs. STEM

小結：文本選取題材比較符合學生認知水平。但文章應該並非出自英美主流媒體，作者似乎也不是英美母語人士，這一點有待查證，看文本出處就可以了。文章寫作沒有難點，理解時抓住核心信息點即可。試題命制中規中矩。

試題原文和原題如下：

When I graated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going into 「real」 majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major. I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing techniques. Coming out of this experience, I realize it is ok to be different from others and to study things like classics, art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities(人文學科)!

The worries most people have about a Humanities degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract, and one will not obtain any applicable skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective(視角). How could one effectively be an unbiased(無偏見的)writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society? How could one speak persuasively with closed minds? Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! With a broader perspective, we will be more free, more open-minded, and less limited in what we can become!

STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graates learn actual skills in their studies, while humanities majors learn 「soft skills」 like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing(綜合)ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural awareness. Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you? Think of it. How often do you communicate with others? Proce ideas? Encounter people from other cultures? Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills?

If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed. The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist』s grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Chase after your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think.

51.Why did the author choose Business Management as his major at first?

A.He was tired of learning comparative literature.

B.He came to enjoy learning marketing techniques.

C.He wanted to go to the same university as his friends.

D.He believed Business Management was more practical.

52.According to the author, what is a possible way to gain a broad perspective?

A.Making more friends and learning from them.

B.Exchanging ideas in a philosophy seminar.

C.Opening your mind to future possibilities. D.Getting to know the popular opinion of society.

53.In which of the following situations do soft skills play the most important role?

A.Writing a software program. B.Performing a heart operation.

C.Playing a musical instrument. D.Negotiating with a business partner.

54.The author believes the job market for Humanities graates is ______. A.recovering

B.depressing

C.promising

D.challenging

55.What could be the best title for the passage?

A.Stick to Your Desired Major

B.Broaden Your Perspective

C.How to Acquire Soft Skills

D.Humanities vs. STEM

② 2019江蘇高考英語任務型閱讀

江蘇這種任務型閱讀題型屬於概括填空題，也就是對原文篇章結構信息概括，取空多為關鍵要考查的信息詞，這種題型和四選一的完形填空還不一樣，這個沒有備選，而且是原文很多信息的paraphrase ，所以不一定是取空處一定 確切對應原文哪個信息。19年高考這篇任務文本設計的比較揉雜。因為原文敘述不好總結出欄目式且兩欄三欄這樣的層次分明的特徵性的信息。

原文從標題開始引出作者想要表達的信息——the cost of thinking ，這個標題所要表達的就是，人類intelligence 進化所經歷的痛苦和艱難歷程。

第一段，提出問題。這個基本符合寫作規律，整體也是表層概括。取空比較套路，且原文原詞就可以提示填寫，這樣的概括填空的命題效度是很低的。此空原則上並非僅僅局限於characteristics ，而與之相關的其他詞彙都可以，或者還有更好的表達法。我稱它開放空。

接下來第二段，介紹第一個特徵，且給出了細節描述，但是重點在於段末的轉折句unfortunately ，that』s not the case 。語義否定了之前的描述——……brain power more must be better 。

接下來，第三段圍繞大腦在人類進行各種活動中的能量耗費，此處把進化後的人類大腦和和類人猿的大腦能量消耗，以及把人類大腦所佔身體總重的比例等進行對比，旨在突出大腦在進化過程當中的負重和承擔的責任，呼應標題cost。此處取空energy，也是隨處可見的同詞復現。好的歸納總結和paraphrase 一定會有更好的地道的表達。接下來繼續介紹了early large brains 所承擔的cost，具體見原文敘述。

下面一段並列前面的characteristic 1提出characteristic 2——關於直立行走。一些具體細節信息的描述，等同於生物課上老師的講義。所以讀懂英語就可以了。或者能夠完全翻譯過來，這部分就不難理解。74空取空又是套路空，答案也是類似的詞彙填寫上都不能算錯誤。75空不看原文，也可以填寫幾個合適的詞彙。76空比較特殊，它屬於命題人主觀定論一類的，也就是，我出題，就想讓你填other，那你就填好了，否則，木有分數啊……。77空，很有爭議的一個空，假如拋開原文，直立行走的進化過程是大腦隨著身體能量和技能需求而在size上變小的一個過程，一個關鍵思維信息點是此處的大腦指的是它的「大小」變化，不是它的智力程度進化，文中信息也表明在漫長的直立行走進化過程中，因為人體骨骼等所能夠承受的重量和功能等原因，在直立行走前所需承重相對較小，直立行走後最初人體需要承重更大的大腦重量和消耗更多大腦所需能量，慢慢的人類形態和生理發生演化，祖先的extra large skull 逐漸變小，注意，這里用詞skull ，所以事實上，所要強調的是直立行走後人類大腦變得越來越小，這個詞相關的表達應該都是對的，至於答案給的limit原理同上面的other。最後一段，原文作者給出了比較含蓄的conclusion ，同時呼應文章標題，側重cost。直白來說brain is powerful ，physically weak。且這個過程是一個漫長而並不愉快（根據本文寫作基調）的過程。

原本想寫個針對此題的命題總結，省略了吧。其實本分析，精力允許，應該可以做出幾倍於此的內容來。至於市面上很多的試題數據信息統計和歸類，個人並不看好，數據和歸類往往是科學的研究方法，一旦使用就是可靠依據，可是哪些會是原理上可靠的呢？還有就是此題型改改名字吧，不倫不類，雲里霧里的名字。

    For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration激勵,鼓舞 for Western creativity.

    " It's nо secret that China has always been а source (來源) оf inspiration fоr designers," says Amanda Hill, a chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion (時尚) shows .

 芹巧物   Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art 藝術品 , with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美學) on Western fashion and how China has fueled（fuel v. 加強,刺激） the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.

    "China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns 運動,活動  that sell dreams to women all over the world , which means Chinese women are not just不僅僅  consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement." Of course , not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China — some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. "Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on（take on sth 接管） Galliano, Albaz, Mare Jacobs — and beating them hands down（beat sb hands down 輕松擊敗某人）  in design and sales," adds Hill.

    For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models , and s o are the consumers（so be/do/have/情態動詞 sb/sth. ...也是）, " she says. "China is no longer just  不再僅僅是 another market; in many senses（在很多意義上） , it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China — its influences, its direction, its breathtaking（breathtaking adj. 激動人心的） clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging 承認,認可 that in many ways ."

    Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money , but at that time these amounts were forbidding（forbidding adj. 可怕的，令人生畏的）  to most citizens. Accordingly 於是, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition , most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to（sth appeal to sb. 對...有吸引力；使感興趣） a mass audience. They were ll and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place（take place 發生） in the 1830s would change all that.

    The trend, then, was toward the "penny paper" — a term referring to（refer to sth. 提到,談到）  papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street .

    This development did not take place overnight . It had been possible (but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to（go down to sw. 去往某地）  the printer's office to purchase a . Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years , street sales of newspapers would be commonplace 普遍的  in eastern cities. At first , the price of single copies was seldom a penny — usually, two or three cents was charged（charge v. 收費，要價） — and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper" caught the public's fancy（catch/take sb's fancy 吸引某人，中某人的意） , and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.

    This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures (企業 ) were immediate failures . Publishers already in business在營業中 , people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring（daring adj. 勇敢的,敢於冒險的）  businessmen to get the ball rolling（set/start/get the ball rolling 著手做，開始做，帶頭做）.

D

    Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.

    A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of（consist of sth 由...構成）  numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined — or added — the symbols to get the reward.

    Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages, the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side, two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash（flash v. 快速地顯示）  on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen, they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers — 17 in this example.

    After running hundreds of 數以百計的  tests, the researchers noted 指出,留意到  that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.

    When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to（tend to do sth 傾向於做某事）  underestimate (低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value — sometimes choosing, for example , a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic 有條理的，成體系的 : When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two and then added only a fraction (小部分) of the smaller number to it.

    "This indicates 顯示  that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains," Dr. Livingstone says. "But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one." （pay attention to sth）

④ 2019年高考英語全國卷2 - 閱讀理解B

「You can use me as a last resort, and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it.」 This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse club.
「你可以將我作為最後選擇，如果沒有模困唯其他人做志願者，我來做。」這是在我向我的孩子長曲棍球俱樂部提出志願者請求後一位家長的真實回答。

I guess that there's probably some demanding work schele, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren』t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, 「Alright. Yes, I』ll do it.」
我想可能有一些苛刻的工作安排，或者幫助一項未知的運動產生社交焦慮。她可能只需要一些說服，所以我得再試一次，動之以情。我提到有一個有四個孩子的單親家長在主持節目，有一位父親在指導一個他的孩子甚至都不在其中的團隊……此時，這位不情願的旦培家長大聲說，「好吧，是的，我來做。」

I』m secretly relieved because I know there』s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schele, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
我暗自鬆了一口氣，因為我知道在許多人之間分擔志願者的責任具有真正的力量。不情願的家長會安尺衡排用餐計劃，發送電子郵件，並為季末禮物籌款。在這個過程中，這些家長最終成為了團隊中不可或缺的一員。教練可以把注意力集中在孩子身上，而其他家長則可以松一口氣，不用再為下一個賽季操心。向充滿鬥志的孩子們分發一片片橙子就像看著自己的孩子進球一樣令人興奮。

Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.
然而，當季節結束時，我們大多數志願者都鬆了一口氣。這種寬慰與深刻理解就是為什麼這些人持續做志願者的原因：與社區建立聯系，當你自由地投入時間、金錢、技能或服務時，你會感到真正的快樂。做志願者感覺真好。

In that sense, I』m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I』d freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?
從這個意義上說，我真的認為志願服務更是一種我不願意承認的自私行為。然而，如果其他人在這個過程中受益，而我也得到了一些回報，那麼我的動機真的重要嗎？

⑤ 高考英語閱讀理解中的數學題

許多人把英語學科看成文科，以為不需要數學思維。但高考英語閱讀理解中的數學題，恰是一種將語言和數學相結合的題目。從數學角度看，高考英語閱讀理解中的數學題難度不高，但陷阱不少。下面以一些歷年高考英語真題、模擬題的相關題型為例，分析題目特點，總結解題方法。

2019年普通高等學校招生全國統一考試2卷C篇第28題如下：

What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?

A. Food variety.

B. Eating habits.

C. Table manners.

D. Restaurant service.

此題問的是第2段中的數據反映什麼。原文第2段如下：

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half（53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore，74 percent，according to statistics from the report.

原文講的是46%的人獨自用餐（被動語態），超過53%的人獨自吃早餐，46%的人獨自吃午餐。74%的人會群聚吃晚餐。由此可知這些數據反映的是人們的用餐習慣，因此對應的是B。

2018年普通高等學校招生全國統一考試1卷閱讀理解C篇第30題如下：

How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?  

A.About 6 800   

B.About 3 400

C.About 2.400   

D.About 1-200

題干中的關鍵詞是languaged, spoken , at present以及重要的數字6000。 在一篇英語文章中找數字比找單詞容易，我們可以很容易找到原文中的6000這個數字。

原文The median number (中位數)of speakers is a mere 6.000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.

此段講的是語言使用者的中位數是6000，這意味著世界上一半的語言被少於那（個數字）的人所使用。

能否做對此題便取決於考生能否理解「中位數」這一概念。哪怕考生不懂統計學，也可以從字面義大約推斷出來。網路對「中位數」的定義解釋是：「中位數（Median）又稱中值，統計學中的專有名詞，是按順序排列的一組數據中居於中間位置的數。」 套回這篇文章，按使用人數從低到高排列，每種語言各有不同的使用人數，那麼排在中間的語言的使用人數就是中位數。那麼總共有多少種語言呢？本段首句已經揭示----At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. 因此本題答案就是6800的一半即3400，選B。

有的考生會思慮深遠。因為這段話中間部分列舉了不同地區多種語言的使用人數，於是考生可能會花時間去計算出這些語言的使用總人數，再來除以2。這樣雖然也能算出正確答案，但是繞了遠路，答案其實就是本段首句。

2018年普通高等學校招生全國統一考試1卷D篇第34題如下：

Which of the following uses the least energy?

A. The box-set TV.

B. The tablet.

C. The LCD TV.

D. The desktop computer.

這道題看起來不是直接的數學計算題，但實際上對應的是不同年代的電器。原文如下：

We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(裝置) well after they go out of style. That』s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.

此段最後一句非常關鍵，即在做同樣的事情時，過時的電器比新電器消耗更多的能源。也就是說，最新發明的電器，耗能越少。由常識可知，上述四類電器中，最新發明的是tablet平板電腦，因此選B。

2020屆天河區普通高中畢業班綜合測試（二）英語卷閱讀理解A篇有一道數學題：

How much should they pay if a school party of 15 persons book tickets?

A.$135

B.$126

C.$90

D.$84

這篇文章主要講了一個劇院的票價。如果要正確解出答案，由於文章里包含了面對不同人群的多種優惠標價，因此考生第一是要鎖定哪一薦是對就school的，第二是看看具體細則。

原文：Schools:school parties of ten or more can book $9 tickets in advance and will get every 10th ticket free.

翻譯：大於或等於10人的學校團隊可以享受每張9美元的預訂票價，並且每10張票的第10張免費。

分析：這句話代表如果買10張票，那麼實際付的是9張票的錢。15人買票，則要支付14張票的錢，即9美元*14=126美元。

最後來一道與時間有關的練習題，歡迎大家在留言區回答哦！

2018年普通高等學校招生全國統一考試2卷A篇

23.How long does Potty about Potter last?

A. Two days. B. Four days.

C. Five days. D. One week.

原文

Potty about Potter(POT)

Visit Warner Bros Studio, shop stop to buy picnic, stay overnight in an approved Youth Hostel in Streatley-on -Thames, guided tour of Oxford to see the film locations, picnic lunch outside Oxford』s Christchurch, boating on the River Cherwell through the University Parks, before heading back to Exeter.
