Plastic-Eating Worms
吃塑料的蠕虫
Humans proce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills， and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.
人类每年生产超过3亿吨塑料，其中几乎一半被作为垃圾填埋， 多达1200万吨污染海洋。目前还没有有效的方法来消除它，但一项新的研究表明，答案可能在于一些饥饿蠕虫的胃。
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms' chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass--apparently broken down by enzymes from the worms' stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.
西班牙和英国的研究人员最近发现，大蜡螟的蠕虫可以分解聚乙烯，聚乙烯占塑料的40%。研究小组将100只蜡虫蠕虫放在一个商用聚乙烯购物袋中12小时，这些蠕虫消耗并分解了约92毫克，约占总量的3%。为了证实蠕虫的咀嚼并不是聚乙烯分解的原因，研究人员将一些蠕虫制成糊状物并将其放置于塑料薄膜。14小时后，这些胶片失去了13%的质量——显然被蠕虫胃里的酶分解了。他们的发现发表在2017年的《当代生物学》上。
Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food-beeswax--also allows them to break down plastic. "Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, "she explains. "The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. "
这项研究的合著者费德丽卡·贝尔托基尼说，蠕虫分解日常食物——蜂蜡的能力，也可以让它们分解塑料。“蜡是一种复杂的混合物，但聚乙烯中的基本键——碳碳键——也存在，”她解释道，“蜡虫进化出一种方法或系统来破坏这种键。”
Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme proced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes?
田纳西大学的微生物学家詹妮弗·德布鲁恩没有参与这项研究，她说，这种蠕虫可以破坏聚乙烯，这并不奇怪。但与之前的研究相比，她发现这次研究的分解速度令人兴奋。德布鲁恩说，下一步将是确定分解原因。这种酶是由蠕虫自身产生还是肠道微生物产生？
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of instrial process-not simply "millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.”
贝尔托基尼对此表示同意，并希望她的研究小组的发现有朝一日能利用这种酶在垃圾填埋场分解塑料。但她希望在某种工业过程中使用这种化学物质，而不仅仅是将“数百万只蠕虫扔在塑料上”。

『叁』 2018高考英语阅读理解北京卷D篇浅析
首先，文本选自洛杉矶时报http://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-autonomous-vehicles-planning-20180309-story.html 2018年3月9日发表的名为If we don't plan for them, autonomous vehicles could make our car-dominated transit system even worse的文章。
看原标题可以得出几个信息：1.目前有plan，2.car−dominated transit system是关键问题3.even worse，也就是有前提条件，然后才可能出现某种预期。
这篇阅读理解试题选文的特点是，1.文章是国外主流媒体新近更新的文章，相对于高考日期来说是比较新的。2.题材相对比较前沿——关于无人驾驶汽车。相对来说的新科技话题，具有一定的信息引领性。同时，无人驾驶也是目前比较有争论的话题，所以任何一篇文章都不会完全从某一个角度独立来分析阐述这一现象，除非绝对的专业测评或者技术等视角，普通评论或者描述文章一定都会有或多或少的利弊分析，因为这是未知因素会有所影响的一个话题。本文也不例外，但是本文经过改编后明显把话题倾向性定位在positive 上，整体看不出明显的问题，但是会有对客观事实的微小不尊重。这是从阅读理解试题选文的真实性信息来考虑的。本文读者受众没有刻意的区分和归类以及倾向性，文章也不算纯粹的科普文，属于普通的说事文吧，依然是侧重introce and describe ，因为没有明显的正反观点的对比，文中对比主要体现在现象的比较，所以涉及argumentation 的成分很少。基于此，本文的行文，正常来说要围绕提出问题——分析问题——解决问题来进行。
试卷文本和原文比较有大量删减改编。
首先看改编后的标题Preparing Cities for Robot Cars关键信息定位在preparing cities。但是我们在正文当中是否能够找到关键信息来支持标题核心信息，我认真阅读后，还是不明朗。但是原选文标题比较符合原选文的核心内容。而且此标题从语言角度来说也不好理解，所以标题不做更多解释。
（2018•北京）阅读理解D
标题Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
试题文章第一段
原本想和原文比较一下改动部分，但是改动太大，就省略了吧，很明显感觉改动得不是很好。比如prospect被替换为possibility 这个在理解文本含义上可以理解，但是假如作为精读去点对点分析，就会不如原词汇那么妥帖，我只能用这个词来形容。看prospects词汇解释：
以此例来说明改编的可能的不准确性，文本下面部分的改编的类似问题不再重复说明。
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist's dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. 开篇点“题”，把无人驾驶汽车的现存状态通过一个语义对比句展示出来。告知读者本文是围绕无人驾驶汽车现状的某个问题阐述的。接下来的test，cleared the way 暗示一是有测试环节，二是有相关辅助环节。
California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. 这是本文中围绕标题而出现的最重要的关键信息。暗示cities在无人驾驶领域所可能做出的贡献。
But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.
此处有本文的一个题点关键词regulated，提示regulation 对于无人驾驶未来走向的重要性。看48题：
As for driverless cars, what is the author's major concern?
A. Safety.
B. Side effects.
C. Affordability.
D. Management.
题干部分有关键信息词author ，major 所以就限定是本文作者的重点的……关注点，所以需要透彻理解本文所传递的信息是什么，还要结合选项内容来看。同时结合原文看，本文是把safety 部分内容删除掉了，而我们看四个选项事实上都可以，四个选项和客观真实性是保持一致的，至于本试题当中认为限制答案为D，从做题角度会有很多解释，但是这样的试题不严密，且，好的试题不会用major来限定。
第二段
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also ……段首用了一个暗含转折，实际上是语义的一个侧重“确定”的句子，使用了while …also表达，前后两者都存在，但是此处侧重强调后者的意思。那么也就是说safety 问题是现存的一个相关焦点，但是这里作者想要强调also后面的内容。所以，从全文角度看，经过改编的文本有了作者或者文章态度上的些许不同，本段和原文比较有部分词汇改编删减，但是基本符合要求，没有大的变化。
接下来的内容作者具体描述无人驾驶汽车的优势和特色，包括停车管理，环境保护，以及和出租车公司等相比较的更多的便利，原文提到了优步等出租公司的disadvantageous ，但试题文本有删减，所以个别信息在理解上会觉得有模糊的感觉，不透彻。本段结束。
在此，我们就可以暂停，看试题：
47.According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can __________.
A. help deal with transportation-related problems
B. provide better services to customers
C. cause damage to our environment
D. make some people lose jobs
题干中使用了pay attention to ，而这个题干是完全可以修改成一个更地道的句子的，也可以是问答方式，不是填空式。重点又在author 和attention 来限定信息，也就是可以推测，题目需要做答的是作者在本文中想要表达的观点，那么根据文本内容，c项是可以否定的。abd都不是可以完全限制的信息，也就是都有可能性，只是a项更符合出题人的思路，所以答案是A。
接下来看下一段内容，
Do we want to — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most alts own indivial self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.
段首一句属于段落衔接句，用设问的形式引出来。一方面提示读者思考，给出自己的思维判断，同时引出下面作者想要陈述的内容，此句看关键词worsen ，也就是说，作者暗示的观点是现有的交通的诸多不利因素，对于无人驾驶汽车来说会是什么样的一种对比分析结果呢？而通过上文中作者的情感态度，大致可以判断，下文作者想要阐述的是如何规避现有交通的不利因素。通过阅读试卷上的文本，我感觉此段信息和句首信息不一致，而且不符合常理，所以我再次查阅原文，因为在手机上编辑，顺便简单截图一下，如下：
通过阅读原文，可以了解，此处被命题人删除掉了，但是此举就完全改变了文章的行文思路和意义的正常表达。因为在提到了无人驾驶汽车的优势以后，作者做了一个imagine ，也就是假想内容，而此假设导致的结果就是满街的无人驾驶汽车，而此句也被命题人删除了，但是这些信息是非常关键的信息，是管理者要解决无人驾驶汽车所要面对的关键问题，删除后，就不能体现初衷含义了，而且阅读时会晦涩，不能够真正表达真实场景。具体语言不做分析解释，接下来看下一段，
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could rece carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.此段因为删除掉的信息，而会觉得没有自然的过度和衔接。在介绍了环保和降低使用成本等优势以后，作者把话题引到了首批无人驾驶汽车的试用上，
commercially available，almost certainly，technologyas well as liability and maintenance issues，这些词是属于此处的主要信息词，提示下面举措的原因，命题人没有在此处命题，而是避开，命制了一个所谓猜测词义题目。来看试题：
49.What does the underlined word ＂fielded＂ in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Employed.
B. Replaced.
C. Shared.
D. Reced.
根据field所在原文语境，提示，鉴于一些考量首先要把无人驾驶技术应用于叫车服务领域。field在此处取其名词“领域”的动词含义“应用于某一领域”，在此，也就是把车辆服务划分了，可能有：公共交通，私人汽车，叫车服务等等。所以在理解此词的时候需要理解原语境的微妙提示，而不是简单来随意根据主观判断下结论，尽管结论可能也不是太离谱，至少我查了很多词典，没有查到field的英英解释为employ。细节不做分析。继续下一段，
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn't extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.
最后一段，我们看它的情感态度，一个对未来的期待和展望，是建立在对现有一些问题和技术的解决和确认的基础上的，也就是说，作者的观点态度中规中矩，但最后一句还是表达了对未来无人驾驶汽车的正面期待。结尾段，对整个上文信息做了概括总结，综合了上文信息点。看最后一题：
50.What is the author's attitude to the future of self-driving cars?
A. Doubtful.
B. Positive.
C. Disapproving.
D. Sympathetic.
答案是B。这个不多说，假如发散开来还有很多内容能够阐述。
总结一下：
本题目选自主流外刊，时间比较新，话题比较新。命题人对文本进行了一定量的改动删减，个人认为已经影响了准确和地道信息的传递，这是不太看好的地方。文本语言和结构没有特殊难点，试题命制也没有深度思维理解的题目，所以考虑试题安排难度，应该不是难题范畴。解读本文本相当于外刊解读的一个过程了。所以说高考题目文本精良，和外刊解读和运用分割开来不是一个真命题。我记得16年北京好像也是D篇，也是命题人做了一些删减改编，而使得整个行文不达意，试题缺少信息支持。这是一个不可忽视的命题问题。
没有时间和精力做更精细的分析。
下面是试题原文：
Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist's dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help rece traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most alts own indivial self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread.

『肆』 2018年11月浙江高考英语阅读B篇分析
摘要
高考英语试题整体题型结构当中，阅读理解回答问题（包括本文将要评述的阅读理解四选一试题）占据高考试卷相当的比例。一线教学当中也会使用此类试题作为评价英语学习的方式，那么如何判断一篇英语阅读理解试题的优劣呢？本文以2819年11月浙江高考英语阅读理解B篇作为实例来进行客观分析。
文章首句22个词。并非是一个短句。而且句中没有生僻词汇，也没有复杂句式。但是却没有出现本文的主题词汇summer vacation 。却巧妙地运用了forget about classroom bells and set off for grandparents homes, sleep-away camps and lifeguard stands这样的描述，引出了下面可能的主题。此处正常来说不会设立命题点，因为单从本句看，没有命题点需要的支撑信息。甚至读者也可以跃过此句直接阅读下文，因为接下来的but summer vacation 提示主题内容开始描述了。首句中可以通过阅读学习的短语为forget about ，set off for，sleep－away camps，life guard stands。假如此处欲命题的话可以命制一个简单推断题，但是干扰项不好设计。而此句在写作情感上属于比较欢快的文字，用于句首平衡了文章在语意上的表达风格。
接下来But引出的转折意义并非是首句的直接转折而是引出本文的核心阐述脉络。以三个关键转折时间点为依托，突出summer vacation 的发展历程，以及每一个阶段的特点。也就是说从此处开始文章主要以时间顺序来描述。层层递进。
第一个时间点Before the civil war ，关键信息neither of which included a summer vacation ，rural ，urban……。此处命题人命制24题：
24. What did the rural school calendar before the Civil War allow children to do?
A. Enjoy a summer vacation.
B. Take a break each quarter.
C. Have 48 weeks of study a year.
D. Assist their parents with farm work.
本套试卷阅读理解部分命题人均采用了问答式提问。大约看了一下提问风格，没有特别的测试学角度意义，应该只是命题人的个人喜好而已。本题题干部分信息很完整了，个人甚至认为因为题干信息提示过多，这条题目的干扰项会是一种“倾向于绕脑的考查”，而不是纯粹的对文章主题信息的理解程度的考查。看选项，BC项是描述当时的urban school 相应情况的，所以题干限制在rural上，A项的设置还是比较好的，有对于文中信息neither of which 部分的一个理解误判的可能性。答案是D项。
接下来是时间标志词in the 1840s，而命题人也是根据三个时间发展段的相关信息来设计命题点的。文章脉络没有特殊分析价值，看试题25题干依然是全包含具体信息题干，关键词ecational reformers ，in the 1840s，基本就完全制约限制了读者的思维，只需要根据提示回读原文信息即可。此题的特点是，选项B项的设置为原文信息第一段Rural(农村的）schooling was divided into summer and winter terms, leaving kids free to help with the farm work in the spring planting and fall harvest seasons.和本段中that rural schooling was not enough ，甚至可以说直接根据后者就可以否定，这种干扰项命题方式属于民间所说的原文信息反面paraphrase ，既然not enough，自然不能再shortenen 了，此干扰项的设置还可以算作阅读理解范围内的可能误判而出现的信息误差点，尽管选项内容和题干内容的信息提示都过度具体，但是可以接受。C项在原文信息链中是不存在相关信息支持的。从原文介绍summer vacation 到此处promote the study of farming，基本没有逻辑和思维关联性。原文提示farming calendar 是改革的措施之一。D项也是“张冠李戴”式的干扰项设置，原文it offered a rest for teachers，而rest则在summer vacation 的信息链条上。这就是信息链条紧密结合相关主题的阅读模式，可以有助于此类阅读理解命题的理解和解答。答案A。A项的确认可以从文章发展脉络以及第二段整体信息可以推测出来，也就是“先无后有”，而通过常识也知道summer vacation 是存在的了。
25. What did the ecational reformers do in the 1840s?
A. They introced summer vacation.
B. They shortened rural school terms.
C. They promoted the study of farming.
D. They advocated higher pay for teachers.
按照时间发展顺序看接下来一段信息，modern age，为了便于直观理解把本段内容复制过来：But people's opinion about the modern U.S.school year, which averages 180 days,is still divided. Some experts say its pleasant but lazy summer break, which took hold in the early 20th century, is one of the reasons math skills and graation rates of U.S. high schoolers ranked well below average in two international ecation reports published in 2007. Others insist that with children under increasing pressure to devote their downtime to internships（实习）or study, there's still room for an institution that protects the lazy days of childhood.看段落衔接词But从语篇分析角度这是一个对于之前信息的转折，也就是说，上面的信息内容传递的核心含义在此段会有转折性的表述，此处以people’s opinion 的形式出现，而首句中的180days，school year暗示假期也是180days，根据逻辑解读判断，此假期时间是比较长的。而此句当中divided的运用说明相关观点是有分歧的，所以26题当中提到了some people unhappy 也就是其中一部分人的观点。看接下来的一个长句Some experts say its pleasant but lazy summer break, which took hold in the early 20th century, is one of the reasons math skills and graation rates of U.S. high schoolers ranked well below average in two international ecation reports published in 2007. 首先作者采用了expers的观点，且提到了two international ecation reports published in 2007，作者如此写作的目的是为了证明观点的权威性，增加可信度。pleasant but lazy 即可以根据紧接着的举例而肯定所要强调的是lazy带来的后果。此句尽管略长，但没有影响阅读的生僻词汇和句式，所以基本可以掌握传递的信息。到此处可以完成26题：
26. Why are some people unhappy about the modern U. S. school year?
A. It pushes the teachers too hard.
B. It reces the quality of ecation
C. It ignores science instruction.
D. It includes no time for internships.
因为接下来文章最后的观点属于解决问题的办法，所以和26题关联不大。此题的作答最佳方法就是直接从题目到原文到正确答案。不要细致琢磨干扰项，因为正确答案可以直接判断，防止被干扰和节约作答时间。答案为B。
简要总结：
本文文本选取还是可以的，内容为中学生相关，且具有跨文化差异性，可以辅助了解美国中学summer vacation 的相关信息。文章写作风格比较平铺直叙，按照时间顺序进行罗列，因此结构比较清晰，围绕核心话题论述比较紧凑，信息链明确。但由于文章风格是细节描述非常多，所以留给读者的深层次阅读和推理审辨阅读理解的空间不大。命题人全部设置了完全细节问答模式，把阅读者思维限制在局限范围内。题目设置优点在于干扰项的设置，大多比较巧妙（通俗说比较绕），避免了细节题目可能的弱干扰或者无效干扰。本篇作答特点是题干——原文——正确答案。尽量减少在干扰项上的徘徊。
『伍』 2018年高考英语全国卷1 - 阅读理解D
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 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.
我们可能认为，在我们的文化中，一看到崭新的事物就会摒弃我们的旧技术，但一项新的研究表明，当旧设备过时了之后我们仍然继续使用。这对于环境和我们的钱包来说是个坏消息，因为这些过时的设备做同样的事情要比新设备消耗更多的能源。
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each proct throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.
为了弄清楚这些设备的耗电量，纽约罗切斯特理工学院的卡莉·巴比特和她的同事跟踪了每种产品在其整个生命周期内造成的环境代价——从原料开采到停止使用该设备。这一方法提供了自20世纪90年代初以来家庭能源使用的变化数据。不同的年代出现了不同的设备。台式计算机、最初的移动电话和盒式电视定义了1992年。1997年，数码相机问世。2002年MP3播放器、智能手机和液晶电视进入家庭，2007年平板电脑和电子阅读器问世。
As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions more than doubling ring the 1992 to 2007 window.
然而，当我们积累了更多的设备时，我们并没有扔掉我们的旧设备。一位研究人员说：“客厅的电视更换后放在孩子们的房间里，突然有一天，家里每个房间都有一台电视”。每个家庭拥有的电子设备平均数量从1992年的4台增加到2007年的13台。我们不仅保留了这些旧设备，我们还继续使用它们。根据巴比特团队的分析，旧的台式显示器和带有阴极射线管的盒式电视是最糟糕的设备，它们的能耗和温室气体排放量都很高，在1992年至2007年期间增加了一倍多。
So what's the solution? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old procts with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.
那么解决方案是什么呢？该团队的数据仅持续到2007年，但研究人员还探讨了如果消费者使用具有多种功能的新电子产品（如用于文字处理和电视观看的平板电脑）取代旧产品会发生什么情况。他们发现，用平板电脑上代替电视和台式电脑观看更多的娱乐点播节目，可以减少44%的能耗。
『陆』 2018全国一卷英语阅读理解B篇分析
个人认为本文是兼有叙事风格和新闻风格的一篇文章。
通过文中几个关键信息The eight-part series (系列节目)，ITV，
Good Morning Britain等初步可以判断主人公的个人身份可能是电视台host。由此我们需要厘清一个现象，那就是选文的背景。很明显，本文选自外刊，也就是说文章是国外媒体，所以针对其当地人为主要阅读对象，写作风格和语言也是有针对性的，正如假如媒体撰文关于我们的中央电视台的某节目和节目主持人的话，我们会对相关信息有一定的背景了解，无需文章再赘述，而本文也是如此，反过来，它相对于我们这些对背景了解甚少的读者来说，某些信息就需要猜测，所以拿来作为高考题目选文，感觉上至少陌生背景信息一定不要影响学生理解文本核心信息和作答为佳。
第一题，命题人顺序命题，看第一段信息，此段信息也是本文比较关键的信息，它为下文的正确阅读理解有一定的铺垫作用。关键信息点be used to，but ，guests，cook up a storm 等可以大致确定她身份的一个变化。最重要的语篇标志词but把她的工作性质进行了转折，有助于作答第一题。所以B为答案，干扰比较大的是A，因为此项信息没有更多信息支持是否she enjoys embarrassing her guests ，因为在欧美人士的思维和语言使用中会有一种隐含的意思，有时候会有诙谐风格，所以此项内容站在国内思维角度算作是干扰信息吧。guests on the sofa坐在沙发上的特邀嘉宾
Grill这个词汇的使用是非常微妙的，词典中b义原本就是a义的转喻。这里面应该有修辞在里面。还有就是英汉词典中也明确标明词义“拷问”，对应英文释义就可以理解了。那么我们可以推断Susanna原来主持的节目是早间的一档类似于智力问答一类或者涉及需要和嘉宾进行问题交流的节目。至于具体节目内容不需要具体探究。作者在此处使用了grill这个词，非常生动，很形象又和下文中所提到的cook food等内容有一定的呼应，比较恰当。cook up a storm 这个词快不属于关键信息词，但是此处根据语境可以命制一条词义理解题目，会比较好。
接下来第二题，命题人顺序出题，此题的出题点选择的过于细微。题干中有具体指示词，回原文查找信息，然后理解细节，题干提示How，那就侧重点放于此。看原文she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to rece food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day，认真理解此处信息会发现Matt Tebbutt帮助她的是为她提供建议，来自于一线厨师的建议。也就是说她的节目当中可能会先预订好每日的菜谱，按照菜谱去做菜，且按照要求，做菜的成本控制在每日每户不超过5£。下文也有几处提到Matt，但是对于Matt在整个电视节目中具体做什么，从文本内容本身是无法得出的，假如推测的话，也可以有不同的推断，所以还是呼应上面的说法，本文的目标阅读对象是熟悉这一电视节目的人，所以文中没有相对于某些具体信息做细致交代，事实上命题人有可能是在回避不精确理解，打了一个擦边球，cooking matters 很难理解具体表达什么，可以理解为“烹饪方面相关事项”。而此处，命题人的阐述感觉很奇怪，但是又不能完全否定，鉴于其他干扰基本可以排除，那么答案只能锁定C。
文章行文至此，作者插入了一段对于电视节目的大致介绍。命题人在此确立了一个命题点，假如一定要归类的话，可以归类为作者“写作手法或者作者写作意图题”，从文章篇章角度看，突出强调这一段在整个篇章结构中的作用。根据上下文来看，答案很明显。因为此段内容和前后内容没有明显的总结和因果等关系。
27题标题归纳题。读懂文章就可以做出正确答案，干扰项基本设置也算合理。但是，假如从另外一个角度来说，把标题作为文章大意来使用的话，那么会感觉本文的文章风格和脉络不是特别恰当。而且D项的表达也感觉比较牵强。求证了下题源，原标题确实和本标题不一样。Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid on new cooking on a tight budget，
本文本的优点在于题材比较贴近生活，但不是中国高中生的生活，少花钱做好食物的观点也有正面价值观导向，但是因为文章写作风格的限制，核心观点并没有深入介绍和剖析。且命题点受限，命题局限。文章另外还可以挖出一两个其他题点的。
以下为原文文本和图片
Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role — showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget. In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to rece food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam, 14, Finn, 13, and Jack, 11. “We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,” she explains. “I pay £5 for a portion (一份), bur Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.” The eight-part series (系列节目), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health procts on the market. With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week. In tonight’s Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget. The team transforms the family’s long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.
