1．阅读理解
A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens. The first 6,000 copies of the book were sold out in a week. And the book has inspired many plays and movies. The first play was put on in 1844. The first two movies were silent films made in 1901 and 1908. Since then, the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema. What makes such a tale so attractive? Audiences have always loved a good plot, a villain(反面人物) who harms other people or breaks the law, and the ending of right over wrong. The book offers all three.
The book tells the story of a man named Ebenezer Scrooge. He is mean and cruel(残忍的) to his clerk and turns away his only living relative. One night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits. The first shows scenes from Scrooge's youth that led to this present state. The second takes him to the homes of his clerk and his nephew. Here Scrooge sees that people can be happy without lots of money. The spirit also shows him the desperate poor people of London. The third spirit shows Scrooge will die alone, and no one will care if he continues to live as he has. At last the message is understood, and Scrooge repents. He becomes generous and caring to all around him, especially to his clerk's sick son, Tiny Tim.
Every year, thousands of people watch A Christmas Carol. Why? They may be touched by its lessons on the true meanings of wealth and happiness. They may enjoy the special effects and feelings or watching every year may be just a habit. Viewers never seem to grow tired of the old miser(守财奴), Scrooge, and his dramatic message of hope and change.

"Museum of the World" Travel Plan
Here's the travel plan for some of the more unusual museums on our "Museum of the World" tour. I'll send you the full itinerary (行程) next week. The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) (Boston USA) shows what it describes as "art too bad to be ignored". The museum hopes to bring the worst of art to the widest possible audience. As part of the visit, we'll be shown some truly awful portraits, landscapes and sculptures.
The Devil's Rope Museum (in Mclean, Texas) and The Kansas Barbed Wire Museum (in Lacrosse, Kansas) both claim to have the best barbed (有刺的) wire collections, telling the
story of the wire's role in the development of America. We'll be visiting both of these.
The Washington Banana Museum (Auburn, Washington, USA) contains 4,000 objects related to the history of what the museum describes as "the world's most perfect fruit." During a guided tour around the museum, we'll learn all sorts of interesting things, such as the fact that bananas were introduced to the USA in 1878 in the same exhibition as Alexander Graham Bell's telephone, and that banana is now the US's number-one selling fruit.
The Hair Museum (Avanos, Turkey) is located in a cave in Cappadocia, in Central Anatolia. It contains 16,000 samples of people's hair. You'll be offered a chance to add your own hair to the collection. Later in the year, the museum manager selects 10 donors to attend a pottery workshop.

3．阅读理解
If you have never been on a cruise (乘船游览), it can seem like its own world—with its own rules and secret language. So here we are going to lay out the very basics of going on a cruise.
Do I need a passport to go on a cruise?
You may need a passport, but you should take one anyway. Besides the fact that you are going to need an ID card to board the ship in the first place, a lot of ports require one.
How much luggage can I take on board?
For the most part, cruise ships aren't like planes—there isn't a strictly regulated amount of luggage you can take with you, and you are not going to be charged for bringing too much. Keep in mind that cabin storage space can be tight. Everything, including your empty luggage, is going to have to fit inside and you don't want to be tripping over it for your whole vacation.
Things like guns and knives are banned, but regulations vary from ship to ship about things like irons (generally a no) and hair dryers (generally a yes). Some ships allow you to bring a bottle of wine, but nearly all ban bringing your own hard alcohol.
What's the process for boarding a cruise ship?
Boarding a cruise ship is like boarding a plane—there are regulations or when to arrive, how to check-in, and what security you have to go through. Most cruise lines have transportation available from the airport; otherwise they normally own a paid parking lot where you can leave your car.
（1）What will you have to show when you board a ship in the first place?
A. A credit card.
B. A post card.
C. An ID card.
D. Luggage.
（2）What can you take when you are on a cruise?
A. As much alcohol as you can.
B. More luggage than on a plane.
C. Less luggage than on a plane.
D. As many guns and knives as you can.
（3）Where does the text probably come from?
A. A storybook.
B. A guidebook.
C. A book review.
D. A science report.
【答案】（1）C
（2）B
（3）B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了乘船游览时的四点注意事项。
（1）考查细节理解。根据Do I need a passport to go on a cruise?部分中的“Besides the fact that you are going to need an ID card to board the ship in the first place, a lot of ports require one.”可知当你登上一艘船的时候，你首先要展示身份证。故选C。
（2）考查推理判断。根据How much luggage can I take on board?部分中的“For the most part, cruise ships aren't like planes—there isn't a strictly regulated amount of luggage you can take with you, and you are not g oing to be charged for bringing too much.”可知在很大程度上，游轮不像飞机——你携带的行李数量没有严格的规定，而且你也不会因为带太多行李而被收取费用。即当你在游轮上的时候，你可以带比飞机上更多的行李。故选B。
（3）考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“If you have never been on a cruise （乘船游览）, it can seem like its own world—with its own rules and secret language.”以及文章主要内容为乘船游览的注意事项可推测，文章最有可能来自一本旅行指南。故选B。

4．阅读理解
Water is a necessity of life. Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain, especially in cities, can lead to flooding. That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.
A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation's capital has created a garden on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five "green roofs" for the university. He says he is excited about the project because "it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren't doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture." Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.
In cities, "you don't have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just (unused) space," says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school's Urban Agriculture program. The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. "We also have our own farm experiments," Arlotta said. "Within each of
those growing systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best."
Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC's Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners. She says she's been surprised by the garden's output. "My biggest surprise was that we produced 4, 250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need." She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation's capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop. "This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a commercial kitchen, you distribute through farmers markets, food trucks, and then you recycle."
（1）What do we know about the rooftop gardens?
A. Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighborhoods.
B. There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.
C. They're playing an important role in the city's food supply.
D. Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.
（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Rooftops can offer enough space to plant crops.
B. Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.
C. Some university students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.
D. The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.
（3）How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?
A. Confident.
B. Doubtful.
C. Worried.
D. Ambiguous.
（4）What is the best title for the text?
A. Rainwater Necessity for Plant Life
B. Green Roofs-The Future of Urban Agriculture
C. The United States' Agriculture Program
D. Rooftop Gardens-Food Paradise
【答案】（1）B

6．阅读理解
Over the next decade, technology will decimate more jobs in many professions.
Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does welding (焊接) will be less than $2 per hour, for example. That's more affordable than the $25 per hour that a human welder earns today in America.
Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don't need a driver in the driver's seat. According to the American Trucking Associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers were employed in the United States in 2010, and 6. 8 million others were employed in other jobs relating to trucking activity. So roughly one of every 15 workers in the
country is employed in the trucking business. We could be talking about millions of jobs disappearing in the early 2020s.
And then there is the "Gig Economy (零工经济)" that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. Uber has already done this to taxi drivers, and other technology companies are doing it to a wide range of jobs. A study by Intuit predicted that, by 2020, 40% of American workers will be self-employed, and that full-time jobs will be harder to find. We are talking about 60 million people in this category. The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can't enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits.
The measures to be taken are to raise trade barriers. But closing the doors to foreign trade won't bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss.
（1）The underlined word "decimate" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by "______".
A. make someone interested in
B. equip someone for
C. wipe out
D. bring back （2）What will happen with technologies developing according to the text?
A. Robots will become smarter and smarter.
B. Uber's labor cost will be lower and lower.
C. More and more truck drivers will be needed.
D. Taxi drivers can enjoy more health insurance.
（3）Which of the following is an advantage of a full-time job?
A. It may be flexible.
B. It may offer sick pay.
C. It is full of adventure.
D. It is always well-paid.
（4）Which of the following does the writer agree on?
A. Welcoming foreign trade.
B. Offering more part-time jobs.
C. Using fewer robots to stop job loss.
D. Developing more new technologies.
（5）What's the writer's main purpose in writing the text?
A. To show technology advances in our daily life.
B. To prove technologies cause low incomes.
C. To introduce what the Gig Economy is.
D. To warn the Gig Economy is coming.
【答案】（1）C
（2）B
（3）B
（4）A
（5）D
【解析】【分析】短文大意：本文主要介绍了随着技术进步，很多公司使用更多的机器人，不再需要很多全职工人，零工经济时代很快就会到来，并举出Uber公司的例子加以说明。
（1）词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句"Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. "可知机器人的成本比人力更便宜，未来很多公司会更多使用机器人。也就是说机器人会夺走很多人的工作，故C项正
确。
（2）推理判断题。根据第三段第一句"Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don't need a driver in the driver's seat. "可知Uber公司开发了无人驾驶技术，会大大地减少雇佣司机的工资付出，公司的运营成本会越来越低。故B项正确。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句"The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can't enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits. "可知兼职工作的人无法享受生病工资，也就是说全职工作的人可以享受sick pay，这也是全职工作的优势，故B项正确。
（4）推理判断题。根据文章最后一句"But closing the doors to foreign trade won't bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss. "可知作者认为关闭对外贸易并不能让工作机会回归，只会减缓全球经济发展并伤害美国的出口。由此可见作者支持对外贸易。故A项正确。（5）推理判断题。根据文章前两段可知技术进步让公司使用更多的机器人，不再需要很多全职工人。再根据第四段第一句"And then there is the "Gig Economy (零工经济)" that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. "可知零工经济时代很快就会到来。故D项正确。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本文词义猜测题和推理判断题两种常考题型，词义猜测题要注意理解划线词汇所在语境需要表达的意思；推理判断题需要联系上下文，推断出需要的信息。

How was your day today? If it was just sort of OK, with nothing much happening, then Scott Shaffer wants to hear from you. Mr Shaffer is the editor of the Journal of Mundane Behaviour. "We can learn a lot about the way that society works by examining normal patterns of behavior," he says. "All the ordinary decisions we make and ordinary things we do are society in action." The idea that social scientists should "study the unmarked", in Mr Shaffer's words, has also spread to historians. Traditionally, most history has been written as the story of greatness. It is all about great ideas, great people and great economic and social forces changing the way that millions of people live for ever. Albert Einstein's theory of relativity changed the way that we look at the universe. But has he been of more benefit to humanity than the unknown person who invented the first really comfortable shoe? Try thinking great thoughts when your feet hurt.
In recent years, books of micro-history have been a great success with the public. Most micro historians like to relate their subject to wider developments in society. According to historian Catherine Gallagher, the potato was once a matter of great argument. Supporters pointed out that it could grow cheaply and easily and help feed the poor. Opponents said that this would lead to the poor becoming more powerful, since they did not have to spend every hour working to feed themselves. It seems that European socialism started with an argument about vegetables. British historian Colin Jones wants us to look at pictures painted hundreds of years ago. He wants us to notice the fact that nobody smiles in these pictures. Compare that with today, when everyone smiles for the camera and refusing to smile is seen as an unfriendly act. It is all because of dentistry, he says. Once people were able to look after their teeth, they began to smile and the world became a happier place.
Whether stories like this are true or not, they put ordinary people at the center of history. Most of us are not going to change the world in a big way. But we might be able to do something that makes life a bit easier for other people. And maybe one day a historian will come along and write the story. It is something to get excited about, though perhaps not very excited.
（1）Why does the author tell you to try thinking great thoughts when your feet hurt? A. To show the ordinary is necessary. B. To show history is created by the unknown.
C. To show great thoughts are unnecessary.
D. To show greatness comes from the ordinary.（2）What was the most important thing about the argument about the potato?
A. It helped the poor to feed themselves.
B. It helped to spend less money on food.
C. It brought about a struggle against the rich.
D. It led to great changes in society.
（3）Why didn't people smile in pictures painted hundreds of years ago?
A. They lived a hard life.
B. Their teeth looked terrible.
C. They were not friendly.
D. They preferred to look serious.
（4）What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. The ways to make life easier.
B. The importance of the ordinary in history.
C. The increasing interest in micro-history.
D. Unknown people who invented small things.
【答案】（1）A

9．阅读理解
By the time you read these words, winter should have gone within the Northern Hemisphere (半球). But at its worst, this winter was unusually cold. Here in New York City on January 31, the low temperature dropped to -17℃. In Chicago, it was also -17℃—but that was the high. The low jumped to -29℃. And the wind chill within the Windy City was -44℃ or -46℃, relying on which climate station was crying out in pain. As comic Lewis Black said, "That is not weather. That's an emergency condition."
When the forecast warned us a few days earlier that Arctic air was looming (阴森地逼近), President Trump issued a sincere and helpful tweet, which ended with: "What the hell is going on with Global Warming? Please come back fast, we need you!" And being the most powerful man on Earth, he was successful in his polite request. On February 4 the Chicago temperature reached 11℃. And the following day the Big Apple was in a sunny 19℃.
The Arctic is warming at twice the speed as the global average. This heat might help disrupt (打破) the polar vortex, a gradual wind pattern that usually stays focused on circling the North Pole.
A shaky jet stream (高速气流) then runs right into a brick wall of that Arctic air, which continues to be fairly cold by human standards, and both wind up lots of miles farther south than they usually belong. And for a few days we in the Deep South—by which I mean Chicago or New York
compared with the Arctic—freeze our butts off. But less than a week later, thanks to some warm air coming up from the real South, I was walking outside without a coat on a date when the temperature in Chicago reached 11℃ on February 4.
Like so much else we are currently living through, this experience is not normal. Or it didn't used to be, anyway.
After all, scientists have been warming—sorry, warning—that warming can have these very results. Climate change deniers may sneer (冷笑), "So when it's warmer than usual, that's because of global warming. And when it's colder, that's also because of global warming?" Well, yes. And anybody who just can't accept these kinds of seemingly paradoxical conditions needs to reflect on the expression "freezer burn."
（1）By mentioning Lewis Black's words in Paragraph 1, the author intends to .
A. indicate how unusual the winter's weather was
B. suggest the north isn't a suitable place to live
C. remind people never to forget the past winter
D. urge people to take action against the emergency
（2）What led to the sudden increase in the Chicago temperature on February 4?
A. The cold Arctic air.
B. Trump's sincere tweet.
C. Warm air from the real South.
D. Disruption of polar vortex.
（3）Why does the author use the expression "freezer burn"?
A. To show readers his concerns about the extreme weather.
B. To prove global warming to be the cause of the extreme weather.
C. To cast doubt about scientists' study on the paradoxical conditions.
D. To express his disapproval of the result of the paradoxical conditions.
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）B
【解析】【分析】本文主要报道了在北半球这个时候像纽约、芝加哥等城市冬天不仅没走,反而出现了极不寻常的寒冷天气。文中分析了其原因。
（1）推理判断题。根据第一段Lewis Black的话的意思是：那不是天气。这是紧急情况。然后根据上文的描述"the low temperature dropped to -17°C. In Chicago, it was also -17°C—but that was the high. The low jumped to -29°C. And the wind chill within the Windy City was -44℃or -46℃"可知天气情况极其恶劣。因此这句话是突出了天气的极其异常。故答案为A。（2）细节理解题。根据第三段"But less than a week later, thanks to some warm air coming up from real south, I was walking outside without a coat on a date when the temperature in Chicago"因此真正的原因是南方传来的暖气。文中"And being the most powerful man on Earth, he was successful in his polite request."只是玩笑,不能作为真正的答案。故答案为C。
（3）推理判断题。根据第五段原文，文中这个词出现在"Well, yes. And anybody who just can't accept these kinds of seemingly paradoxical conditions needs to reflect on the expression "freezer burn."因此这个词的目的是反击那些"Climate change deniers"所以作者是支持global warming的，是为了证明全球变暖是极端天气的原因。故答案为B。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及了细节理解题和推理判断题两种常考题型。细节理解题查找原文关键词，推理判断题根据上下文的理解进行合理的推理，不主观臆断。
10．阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
HONG KONG-Cross-border buses operated by Hong Kong companies on Friday started trial runs on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) in preparation for the bridge's upcoming opening.
"The trial runs, arranged by the governments of the Chinese mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and the Macao SAR, would last for three days and aimed at testing the readiness of boundary crossing facilities (设施) of the three places," the Hong Kong SAR government's Transport and Housing Bureau told Xinhua.
Two major cross-boundary coach trade associations in Hong Kong were invited to send buses and members to participate in the trial runs.
Freeman Cheung, secretary of Hong Kong Guangdong Boundary Crossing Bus Association, said his association would run one bus with about 10 passengers on Friday and Saturday respectively as part of the trial runs.
"Our bus started at noon from the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities and ran all the way to Zhuhai in about 40 minutes," he said, adding that "the journey was smooth."
Alan Chan, secretary of another trade association who participated in the trial runs as a passenger, said the clearance procedures at boundary crossing facilities of the three places all went on well and smoothly.
"The boundary crossing facilities of Zhuhai and Macao, in particular, are operated in a collaborative (合作的) way, which helps remarkably shorten the time needed for the clearance procedures," he said.
The HZMB, situated at the waters of Lingdingyang of Pearl River Estuary, is a mega-size sea crossing linking the Hong Kong SAR, Zhuhai city of Guangdong Province and the Macao SAR.
The 55-km bridge is the longest bridge-and-tunnel (隧道) sea crossing in the world.
The bridge is meant to meet the demand of passenger and freight land transport among Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and Macao, and to establish a new land transport link between the east and west banks of the Pearl River.
（1）We learn from the passage that ________.
A. Alan Chan participated in the trial runs as a driver
B. two coach trade associations in Zhuhai took part in the trial runs
C. the HZMB is located at the waters of Lingdingyang of Pearl River Estuary
D. the 55-km bridge is the second longest bridge-and-tunnel sea crossing in the world
（2）What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. The route of the trial runs.
B. The effect of the trial runs.
C. The purpose of the trial runs.
D. The evaluation of the trial runs.
（3）What does the underlined word "freight" in the last paragraph mean?
A. Goods that are transported by trucks, trains, ships, or planes.
B. Lines of raised water that moves across the surface of the sea.
C. Parts of the sea where fish are caught in large numbers.
D. The regular rising and falling of the level of the sea.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the news report?
A. HZMB Is to Establish New Land Transport Link
B. Cross-border Buses Start Trial Runs on Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
C. Mega-size Sea Crossing Linking Hong Kong SAR, Zhuhai and Macao SAR
D. Boundary Crossing Facilities of Zhuhai and Macao Operated Collaboratively
【答案】（1）C
（2）C
（3）A
（4）B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了珠港澳大桥的概况以及其试运行的情况。（1）考查细节理解。根据第八段中的"The HZMB, situated at the waters of Lingdingyang of Pearl River Estuary…"可知，珠港澳大桥位于珠江口伶仃洋水域。故选C。
（2）考查段落大意。根据第二段中的"The trial runs…would last for three days and aimed at testing the readiness of boundary crossing facilities (设施) of the three places."可知，试行将持续三天，目的是测试三个地方的过境设施的准备情况。所以第二段主要在说明试运行的目的。故选C。
（3）考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的"The bridge is meant to meet the demand of passenger and freight land transport among Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and Macao, and to establish a new land transport link between the east and west banks of the Pearl River"可知，该桥旨在满足香港、中国大陆和澳门之间客货陆路运输的需求，并在珠江东岸和西岸之间建立新的陆路运输联系。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，最后一段加下划线的"freight"是由卡车、火车、轮船或飞机运输的货物。故选A。
（4）考查主旨大意。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的"HONG KONG-Cross-border buses operated by Hong Kong companies on Friday started trial runs on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) in preparation for the bridge's upcoming opening"可知，香港公司运营的香港跨境巴士于周五开始在珠港澳大桥上试运行，为即将开通的大桥做准备。所以短文主要是围绕着跨境巴士在珠港澳大桥开始试运行而展开的。故短文的最佳标题为“跨境巴士在珠港澳大桥开始试运行”。故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，段落大意，词义猜测和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇新闻报道，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

Another leading musician was Joseph “King” Oliver, who was also believed with having discovered Armstrong when they were both in New Orleans. While in Chicago, Oliver asked Armstrong, who was in New Orleans, to join his band.

（英语）高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Flying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throwyour bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA. The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over 1.5 billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard. However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don't normally see. The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices. This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets you write stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter. （1）The first paragraph is meant to . A. offer a suggestion B. give a warning C. explain a reason D. introduce the topic （2）It can be learned from the text that more and more people will . A. prefer to read local news B. pay more attention to world news C. start a career in citizen journalism D. give up watching TV news programmes （3）What would be the best title for the text? A. The Latest Local News B. More Choices for News C. The End of TV News D. Traditional World News 【答案】（1）D （2）C （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了市民可以观看的新闻媒体。有些新闻来自国家（正式新闻）;有些新闻来自民间，这种民间的非正式媒体新闻正呈上升趋势；市民还可以在网上发布一些新闻。 （1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“ watch an international news program on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA.”和第二段中的“The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN”可以推断出第一段是引子，是为了引出下文的话题（介绍BBC World和
（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇 (名师传授解题技巧+实战练习，值得下载) 一、阅读理解解题技巧 阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力，即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。具体说来，阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：（1）掌握所读材料的主旨大意，以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节；（2）既理解具体事实，也理解抽象的概念；（3）既理解字面意思，也理解深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等；（4）既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能根据文章进行推理和判断；（5）既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。根据这几项能力测试的要求，试题中常采用如下几种题型：事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。根据这一测试要求和题型设计，答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。 1．首先解题时要充满自信。由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理，因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感，特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀，从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其实这是完全没有必要的，因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事，也是正常现象。因为按大纲要求，试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词，只要认真分析，仔细阅读，这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。 2．扫读全文，理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章，首先要快速扫读全文，虽为扫读，但不可漫不经心，阅读时也应聚精会神，力求可能多地获取材料信息，只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理，不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。
3．对症下药，各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策： （1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how 等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源，同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。 （2）推理判断题：此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思，对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手，根据上下文的内在联系，充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系，人物的动机，以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西，不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考，切勿想当然，凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。 （3）数据推算题：此题要求我们就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断，然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时，要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析，若数据信息较多，还要注意弄清数据之间的关系，同时分清有用与无用信息，最终作出正确判断。 （4）主旨大意题：此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句，抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意，因此，只要找准每段的主题句，文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。
What a newspaper includes is decided by its editors. The managing editor decides which stories are newsworthy and gives reporters their tasks. To an editor, there are two kinds of news: hard news, such as the election (选举) of a president, and soft news. Soft news includes stories about a new dance craze, a beautiful historic building, or an interesting person. The soft news fills whatever space is left after the hard news is put into the newspaper space. There is also public service news to fit in－information about meetings and lectures, free health programs, or changes in a local library’s hours. The managing editor decides how important a story is. If a story is very important, it is marked for a headline on the front page. Less important stories appear farther back in the paper. The story editor takes a story and decides to “boil or trim it”. If the editor decides to boil a story, it becomes front-page article. Depending on the size of a paper, there may be a sports editor, a business editor or an art editor. On a small weekly paper, an editor may cover two or more of these areas. Once all the stories are written, they are given to a copy editor, who corrects any mistakes and fits the articles into the newspaper’s format(版式). The makeup editor, with the managing editor, usually dec ides how the paper will look. The editor’s job is to decide whether a page will look. This editor’s job is to deicide whether a page will carry two stories and four ads or six stories and one ad. Editors may rewrite or redesign many of the pages as more stories come from the pressroom. 61. An example of hard news is _______ A. the election of a president B. a story about a historic building C. a new fashion in clothes D. information about health programs 62.
