2019高考英语阅读方法

① 2019天津高考英语试题阅读理解D简析

首先看本文的体裁，如何界定？第一、以第一人称做叙述。第二、涉及到了一定的时间地点人物事件。第三、通过事件叙述有一定的说理。从而大约把本文归类为说理性叙述文（侧重说理，从而有论说文的痕迹）。再看题材，主要围绕大学选取专业的一些客观事实来进行叙述的。属于校园生活、学生生活、捎带社会认知话题，而文章的主体信息又集中在人文学科的特色上，所以整体行文和语言运用又有一定的专业性特点，这也是文章让人感觉稍有难度的原因。本篇被设置在五篇阅读理解题的D篇位置，民间或者约定的说法这是比较难的定位？我不确认。但是同时本套试题中还有另外一篇情节相对简单的记叙文。

本文以作者的亲身经历为依托，从作者的思维角度阐述问题，那么就可以定调，它是带有一定的倾向性的，倾向于作者本人的观点。所以阅读时要注意作者本身通过语言描述表达的观点和态度。命题也会集中在这些点上。

看文章第一段，几个关键词：but ，so，forced，another but。本段在写作信息传递上有些模糊的地方在于，有一个信息点：

but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing techniques，此处作者没有交代是选择了这个专业试读之后感觉不适合，还是在没有读之前根据各种信息的了解主观上感觉不合适，有些含糊。从而缺少了行文的真实逻辑性，但是不影响整篇文章的核心思想的表达。推测一下，整体感觉脉络是这样的：最初想要选择人文学科——受其他因素影响而选择了实用的企业管理——就读企业管理后，不能适应——转专业回到最初的喜好专业（人文相关）。本段没有生僻词汇和不容易驾驭的复杂句式。本段最后一句是关键信息，表达了作者的最后选择。所以可以看试题：

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

命题人选取的角度通过题干信息Business Management ，at first 限定。备选项中acd是本题关键选项，c是拼凑的，可以比较容易排除，a选项从逻辑角度是有问题的，逻辑上，假如对某种专业产生倦怠感，是要经过一定的学习之后而可能出现的，这就需要之前曾选择过这一专业，而本文并没有阐述清楚，也就是说此处的was tired of…和题干有一定的逻辑冲突。D选项也不是很严谨，从原文信息看，作者是受他人以及选择专业的一些影响而选择Business management ，这和他自身意愿选择有细微区别的。综合看四个选项D为最佳答案。此题的几个逻辑问题是at first 如何界定，最初的want 比较文学和之后的business 的选择是不是都是作者的want。逻辑问题，有些是比较显现的有的却很隐晦，俗话说有“普世逻辑也有各自不同的逻辑”。

文章第二段是作者对于人文学科的观点态度。第二段第一句可以作为复杂句式来讲解语法。关键词是abstract，not applicable 。The worries are …the majors are abstract，…。衔接词actually后面信息 表达的是作者的真实观点。Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective(视角).强调了课堂上所讨论的观点。看试题：试题题干限制词a broad perspective 和原文信息词汇完全一致，所以做题方法就是点对点回到原文查找信息。这个题目的命制不是很成功，往往点对点限制信息命题，干扰项都是很难设置的，本题也是如此，出现了干扰项设置的尴尬，至于此处的问题具体在哪里，不做详细解释。且此题是在极度细节上的一个小推断，所以是否是事实上能够成立的观点，不能确定。B为答案。

第二段和第三段当中都出现了多个疑问句，都是作者的罗列，从快速阅读和考场作答角度基本可以略过，正常来说，这些问题也没有可以设问的题点。

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.

看下一题：

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.

题干核心信息词soft skills 回原文查找信息…while humanities majors learn “soft skills” like communicating effectively，此处的while 表示转折，和之前提到的stem学科的硬科技相比较，所以软技能可能涉及的方向就大致可以理解了，此题命制特点同上一题，不再重复。假如学生大脑中直接可以理解soft skills 基本可以不做原文阅读就可以选出答案。

看下一题，关于job market 在最后一段中作者做了肯定的阐述。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.这句话是比较优美而达意的一句话，可以用来做句子赏析。quietly creating …，bring a humanist’s grace 使用的比较优美。

翻译一：就业市场正在悄无声息地为那些能为我们快速发展的高科技未来带来人文主义魅力的人创造每周数千个职位空缺。

翻译二：每周，就业市场都在悄无声息地创造出数千个职位，虚席以待那些能为我们快速发展的高科技未来带来人文主义魅力的人们。

根据文章基调和文章最后一段信息答案为C。至于a选项，只能说本文没有提及。但他是一个相对强干扰项。每周，就业市场都在悄无声息地创造出数千个职位虚席以待那些能为我们快速发展的高科技未来带来人文主义魅力的人们。

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

B.depressing

C.promising

D.challenging

最后一个题是标题归纳。满足标题归纳题目的特点，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

小结：文本选取题材比较符合学生认知水平。但文章应该并非出自英美主流媒体，作者似乎也不是英美母语人士，这一点有待查证，看文本出处就可以了。文章写作没有难点，理解时抓住核心信息点即可。试题命制中规中矩。

试题原文和原题如下：

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(人文学科)!

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(视角). How could one effectively be an unbiased(无偏见的)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(综合)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江苏高考英语任务型阅读

江苏这种任务型阅读题型属于概括填空题，也就是对原文篇章结构信息概括，取空多为关键要考查的信息词，这种题型和四选一的完形填空还不一样，这个没有备选，而且是原文很多信息的paraphrase ，所以不一定是取空处一定 确切对应原文哪个信息。19年高考这篇任务文本设计的比较揉杂。因为原文叙述不好总结出栏目式且两栏三栏这样的层次分明的特征性的信息。

原文从标题开始引出作者想要表达的信息——the cost of thinking ，这个标题所要表达的就是，人类intelligence 进化所经历的痛苦和艰难历程。

第一段，提出问题。这个基本符合写作规律，整体也是表层概括。取空比较套路，且原文原词就可以提示填写，这样的概括填空的命题效度是很低的。此空原则上并非仅仅局限于characteristics ，而与之相关的其他词汇都可以，或者还有更好的表达法。我称它开放空。

接下来第二段，介绍第一个特征，且给出了细节描述，但是重点在于段末的转折句unfortunately ，that’s not the case 。语义否定了之前的描述——……brain power more must be better 。

接下来，第三段围绕大脑在人类进行各种活动中的能量耗费，此处把进化后的人类大脑和和类人猿的大脑能量消耗，以及把人类大脑所占身体总重的比例等进行对比，旨在突出大脑在进化过程当中的负重和承担的责任，呼应标题cost。此处取空energy，也是随处可见的同词复现。好的归纳总结和paraphrase 一定会有更好的地道的表达。接下来继续介绍了early large brains 所承担的cost，具体见原文叙述。

下面一段并列前面的characteristic 1提出characteristic 2——关于直立行走。一些具体细节信息的描述，等同于生物课上老师的讲义。所以读懂英语就可以了。或者能够完全翻译过来，这部分就不难理解。74空取空又是套路空，答案也是类似的词汇填写上都不能算错误。75空不看原文，也可以填写几个合适的词汇。76空比较特殊，它属于命题人主观定论一类的，也就是，我出题，就想让你填other，那你就填好了，否则，木有分数啊……。77空，很有争议的一个空，假如抛开原文，直立行走的进化过程是大脑随着身体能量和技能需求而在size上变小的一个过程，一个关键思维信息点是此处的大脑指的是它的“大小”变化，不是它的智力程度进化，文中信息也表明在漫长的直立行走进化过程中，因为人体骨骼等所能够承受的重量和功能等原因，在直立行走前所需承重相对较小，直立行走后最初人体需要承重更大的大脑重量和消耗更多大脑所需能量，慢慢的人类形态和生理发生演化，祖先的extra large skull 逐渐变小，注意，这里用词skull ，所以事实上，所要强调的是直立行走后人类大脑变得越来越小，这个词相关的表达应该都是对的，至于答案给的limit原理同上面的other。最后一段，原文作者给出了比较含蓄的conclusion ，同时呼应文章标题，侧重cost。直白来说brain is powerful ，physically weak。且这个过程是一个漫长而并不愉快（根据本文写作基调）的过程。

原本想写个针对此题的命题总结，省略了吧。其实本分析，精力允许，应该可以做出几倍于此的内容来。至于市面上很多的试题数据信息统计和归类，个人并不看好，数据和归类往往是科学的研究方法，一旦使用就是可靠依据，可是哪些会是原理上可靠的呢？还有就是此题型改改名字吧，不伦不类，云里雾里的名字。

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

    " It's nо secret that China has always been а source (来源) 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 (时尚) 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 艺术品 , with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled（fuel v. 加强,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 运动,活动  that sell dreams to women all over the world , which means Chinese women are not just不仅仅  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 轻松击败某人）  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/情态动词 sb/sth. ...也是）, " she says. "China is no longer just  不再仅仅是 another market; in many senses（在很多意义上） , it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China — its influences, its direction, its breathtaking（breathtaking adj. 激动人心的） clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging 承认,认可 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 于是, 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. 对...有吸引力；使感兴趣） a mass audience. They were ll and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place（take place 发生） in the 1830s would change all that.

    The trend, then, was toward the "penny paper" — a term referring to（refer to sth. 提到,谈到）  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. 收费，要价） — 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 (企业 ) were immediate failures . Publishers already in business在营业中 , 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,敢于冒险的）  businessmen to get the ball rolling（set/start/get the ball rolling 着手做，开始做，带头做）.

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...构成）  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. 快速地显示）  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 数以百计的  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 倾向于做某事）  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 有条理的，成体系的 : 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 显示  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年高考英语全国卷2 - 阅读理解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.
“你可以将我作为最后选择，如果没有模困唯其他人做志愿者，我来做。”这是在我向我的孩子长曲棍球俱乐部提出志愿者请求后一位家长的真实回答。

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，或者帮助一项未知的运动产生社交焦虑。她可能只需要一些说服，所以我得再试一次，动之以情。我提到有一个有四个孩子的单亲家长在主持节目，有一位父亲在指导一个他的孩子甚至都不在其中的团队……此时，这位不情愿的旦培家长大声说，“好吧，是的，我来做。”

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.
我暗自松了一口气，因为我知道在许多人之间分担志愿者的责任具有真正的力量。不情愿的家长会安尺衡排用餐计划，发送电子邮件，并为季末礼物筹款。在这个过程中，这些家长最终成为了团队中不可或缺的一员。教练可以把注意力集中在孩子身上，而其他家长则可以松一口气，不用再为下一个赛季操心。向充满斗志的孩子们分发一片片橙子就像看着自己的孩子进球一样令人兴奋。

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，当季节结束时，我们大多数志愿者都松了一口气。这种宽慰与深刻理解就是为什么这些人持续做志愿者的原因：与社区建立联系，当你自由地投入时间、金钱、技能或服务时，你会感到真正的快乐。做志愿者感觉真好。

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?
从这个意义上说，我真的认为志愿服务更是一种我不愿意承认的自私行为。然而，如果其他人在这个过程中受益，而我也得到了一些回报，那么我的动机真的重要吗？

⑤ 高考英语阅读理解中的数学题

许多人把英语学科看成文科，以为不需要数学思维。但高考英语阅读理解中的数学题，恰是一种将语言和数学相结合的题目。从数学角度看，高考英语阅读理解中的数学题难度不高，但陷阱不少。下面以一些历年高考英语真题、模拟题的相关题型为例，分析题目特点，总结解题方法。

2019年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试2卷C篇第28题如下：

What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?

A. Food variety.

B. Eating habits.

C. Table manners.

D. Restaurant service.

此题问的是第2段中的数据反映什么。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.

原文讲的是46%的人独自用餐（被动语态），超过53%的人独自吃早餐，46%的人独自吃午餐。74%的人会群聚吃晚餐。由此可知这些数据反映的是人们的用餐习惯，因此对应的是B。

2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试1卷阅读理解C篇第30题如下：

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

题干中的关键词是languaged, spoken , at present以及重要的数字6000。 在一篇英语文章中找数字比找单词容易，我们可以很容易找到原文中的6000这个数字。

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

此段讲的是语言使用者的中位数是6000，这意味着世界上一半的语言被少于那（个数字）的人所使用。

能否做对此题便取决于考生能否理解“中位数”这一概念。哪怕考生不懂统计学，也可以从字面义大约推断出来。网络对“中位数”的定义解释是：“中位数（Median）又称中值，统计学中的专有名词，是按顺序排列的一组数据中居于中间位置的数。” 套回这篇文章，按使用人数从低到高排列，每种语言各有不同的使用人数，那么排在中间的语言的使用人数就是中位数。那么总共有多少种语言呢？本段首句已经揭示----At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. 因此本题答案就是6800的一半即3400，选B。

有的考生会思虑深远。因为这段话中间部分列举了不同地区多种语言的使用人数，于是考生可能会花时间去计算出这些语言的使用总人数，再来除以2。这样虽然也能算出正确答案，但是绕了远路，答案其实就是本段首句。

2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试1卷D篇第34题如下：

Which of the following uses the least energy?

A. The box-set TV.

B. The tablet.

C. The LCD TV.

D. The desktop computer.

这道题看起来不是直接的数学计算题，但实际上对应的是不同年代的电器。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(装置) 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.

此段最后一句非常关键，即在做同样的事情时，过时的电器比新电器消耗更多的能源。也就是说，最新发明的电器，耗能越少。由常识可知，上述四类电器中，最新发明的是tablet平板电脑，因此选B。

2020届天河区普通高中毕业班综合测试（二）英语卷阅读理解A篇有一道数学题：

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

A.$135

B.$126

C.$90

D.$84

这篇文章主要讲了一个剧院的票价。如果要正确解出答案，由于文章里包含了面对不同人群的多种优惠标价，因此考生第一是要锁定哪一荐是对就school的，第二是看看具体细则。

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

翻译：大于或等于10人的学校团队可以享受每张9美元的预订票价，并且每10张票的第10张免费。

分析：这句话代表如果买10张票，那么实际付的是9张票的钱。15人买票，则要支付14张票的钱，即9美元*14=126美元。

最后来一道与时间有关的练习题，欢迎大家在留言区回答哦！

2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试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.
