高考英语阅读理解基础练习题（29） 阅读理解 When did you last visit a shopping mall? In many places, the answer would be"last weekend．" Some people go even more often．Why? Malls offer goods andservices all in one place: food, clothing, things for their houses, entertainment, evenmedical services．So, are they one of the highlights of modern civilization?Environmental activists would say no and would go even further, arguing thatconsumer behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster．They cause consumers' ignorance of the side effect of their shopping—urban sprawl （扩大）． Social scientists agree that patterns of development have changed the landscape alot．Before 1950, most people lived in towns or cities and either walked to work ortook public transportation．Only very wealthy people had automobiles．Farmers livedin rural areas or far-away villages and came into town only when they needed thingsthey couldn't produce themselves．If you stared at the landscape you would see townssurrounded by the countryside． Now automobiles become affordable and people are quick to make use of them．Ambitious workers could live in suburbs, just outside cities, which have started togrow rapidly．As long as there is lots of cheap land there, no one pays much attentionto the usage of that land．Malls, fast food restaurants, cinemas, and such spread out inlarge, flat buildings．These one-storey buildings and their parking lot take up too muchspace．Many farmers think they are better off selling their land than growing crops．Noone has realized once the land is built up in urban sprawl, the good farming land willbe ruined forever．There is no way to preserve （保护） it．Only in recent years have people come to miss the old way of life as they havelooked into the problems of unconditional growth．Now people realize that urbansprawl has come with serious environmental problems．The bad effects that sprawlbrings about include air and water pollution, loss of agricultural land, traffic jams, andso on．Many scholars think it's time to analyze the problems better so we can developproper policies to control further sprawl．Some think the best way to do is to educatecitizens．
高中英语阅读能力的培养分析 摘要：在高中英语的学习过程中，学生的阅读能力起着关键性的作用。在阅读学习过程中会涉及词汇的学习、语法学习以及阅读习惯等等，主要从四方面分析了如何提高高中生的英语阅读能力。 关键词：高中英语；阅读能力；文化知识 高中英语的学习中阅读能力主要指的是对语言文化的学习、获取外部信息的学习以及提高语言实践能力的学习。从高中英语的学习大纲中分析，它明确要求要提高学生的阅读能力，为进一步的学习打下扎实的基础。从学生的成绩方面进行分析，在高中英语的考试中，阅读成绩占有很大的比重。在现阶段的高中英语学习过程中，主要是对语言形式的学习，很少涉及阅读技巧的学习。如今的高中生在阅读中存在很大的问题，主要表现为阅读速度慢、理解能力差等。在教学中教师要提出有针对性的策略，帮助学生提高英语阅读能力。 一、重视词汇学习和词汇积累 在阅读中阅读能力的高低和词汇量具有很大的关系。现阶段的高中生英语词汇量稀少，在阅读过程中都不能将句子正确地翻译出来，会曲解文章的主要含义。在学习词汇的过程中学生不应单纯地死记硬背，而要讲究记忆的方法技
巧。词汇中有很多合成词和派生词，在具体的学习中只要记住自由词汇的含义也就等于学会了更多的词汇。在英语中还有很多是由单词主体和前缀、后缀构成的，在学习过程中只要掌握了这些前后缀，就等于学习了更多的词汇。 二、掌握必要的语法知识 在现如今的高中英语阅读中，句子的结构比以前的结构更加复杂，并且变得越来越长，所以，在分析句子的过程中只有掌握了必须的语法知识才能将复杂的句子简单化，将长句子变为短句子。例如，在遇到长句子时，句子中有很多陌生的单词，这就要发挥语法知识的作用。在高中英语中我们会学习到八种时态，包括一般现在时，现在进行时，一般将来时，过去将来时等等。句子还包括简单句、复杂句。在复杂句子中还有主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句等等。要想把握句子的整体含义，就要将句子的各个部分都分析清楚。 三、联系必要的文化知识 学生在学习过程中除了要学习必要的理论知识外，还要了解必要的文化背景知识和生活常识。在高中英语的学习中，会涉及很多西方的背景知识，例如，西方的节日和西方的传统。在阅读中会出现Easterisland（复活岛）等专有名词，当然还有可能包括一些书籍名称，在了解之后学习会变得更加简单。 四、培养良好的阅读习惯
初中英语阅读理解常见题型及答题技巧 从近几年的中考阅读理解情况看，短文体裁多样，题材各异，文章涉及科学知识、社会文化、政治历史、人文环境和日常生活等方面，充分体现其时代性、实用性。短文难度逐年加大。常见题型有主旨题、细节题、推断题、猜测词义题和正误判断题。 做阅读理解练习应先看问题，弄清考点。在阅读短文之前，快速浏览问题，以便在阅读短文时做到心中有数，快速、准确地捕捉所要信息。先易后难。做题时不必拘泥于书中所呈现的语篇顺序，应遵循先易后难的原则。如可先做细节题再做推断题，因为细节题大多能直接从文中找到答案，而推断题则需对短文进行深层理解，再作判断。 （一）主旨题 主旨题主要考查学生对短文中心思想或作者意图的掌握。做此类题时，应通读全文，理解文章大意，充分理解主题句的意义。短文往往围绕主题句展开，主题句通常出现在短文第一句或最后一句。 （二）细节题 细节题是用来进一步表达主题，体现中心思想的，往往针对短文某个细节来设题。做此类题时，应快速捕捉信息，可能是一些事例、数字等，阅读时要有针对性。 （三）推断题 推断题就是根据某个事实推断结论，主要考查学生的理解力和推断力。这类推断通常包括：数据事实推断、常识推断以及作者的写作目的、态度和倾向等的推断。做此类题时，应根据短文中的相关语句，对与事实有关的细节加以分析，找出线索，悟出字里行间的意思，反复比较，从而作出合乎逻辑的判断。 （四）猜测词义题 猜测词义题主要考查学生根据上下文正确判断灵活变化的词义能力。一般情况下，推断词义的题目中所出现的单词，大多数是学生未曾见过的生词，学生需要在该词出现的上下文中去寻找线索。通过阅读上下文，断定该词的真正含义，然后将这个释义代入文中，检查是否贴切，仔细比较直到得出该词的确切的含义。 （五）正误判断题 正误判断题主要考查学生对文章的具体事实、信息的理解能力。一般是根据文章的事实或细节，给出一个句子，判断其正误。这类题比较直接，难度相对较小。做此类题时，应先看题，后带着“问题”快速阅读短文，寻找所需要的信息。初中英语阅读理解题已成为评估学生英语水平的重要测试题型，在中考英语试卷中所占比重较大。阅读理解题主要是考查学生综合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括细节理解能力、词义判断能力、归纳概括能力及逻辑推理能力等。大致来说，阅读理解题主要针对如下方面：（1）个别词语或句子；（2）某一细节或情节；（3）主题；（4）背景知识；（5）结论或结局；（6）内涵隐意或寓意等。下面本人就根据阅读理解题的题型特点，来谈一些答题技巧。 一、直接理解题 这种题目比较简单，只要通读全文，了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节就可以解答出来，有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案。此类题目的出题形式很多，例如：
高中基础英语阅读理解3 Mr. Lang worked in a factory. As a driver, he was busy but he was paid much. His wife was an able woman and did all the housework. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling(赌博) and he learned it soon.

(2) Dear Sir, I am writing about your January bill, which I am returning with this letter. I am not going to pay this bill. Last month I bought a table and four chairs for $65.50. They were sent to me on December 18. That night one leg of the table broke while my wife was putting our dinner on it. It fell on one of the chair, and that broke, too. Our $ 2.50 steak(牛排) landed on the floor, and the dog ate it. I spoke to the salesmen who had sold me the table and the chairs. He told me to write you a letter. I wrote you on December 20, saying that I was not going to pay for the furniture. On December 21 some men came and took it back to the store. Please do something about your records. I do not want to receive another bill for the furniture which I returned. Yours truly

一、中考英语阅读理解汇编 1．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 For many years, sales of garlic in California had been little because of the much cheaper garlic from China. This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs （关税） on Chinese products. Christopher, a garlic grower in California, is manager of his company and he said, "In a perfect world, we would love to see the tariffs on China." Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U.S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion. Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried. Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U.S. Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy （政策）. However, officials from McCormick and Company Inc. didn't agree with the policy. McCormick's CEO, Lawrence told Reuters （路透社）that without Chinese garlic America can't go. Actually ,the trade war （贸易战） between China and America is a sign of American hegemony （霸权）, and it will destroy American economy and U.S government will lose its trust from other countries in the world. （1）From the passage we infer （推理） that ________. A. America is buying garlic from China as much as before B. American soybean farmers make money as much as before C. China is still buying crops from America as much as before D. Garlic growers in California are making more money than before （2）Why is less Chinese garlic bought by America this year? A. Because enough garlic is grown in California. B. Because American government has increased tax （税收） on Chinese garlic. C. Because China is not buying soybeans from America. D. Because companies support American government. （3）What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to? A. China B. the trade C. American hegemony D. a sign （4）How much tariff did American government increase on Chinese garlic On May 9, 2019? A. 15％ B. 25％ C. 10％ D. 35％ （5）According to the passage, who disagrees with the America policy of having tariffs on Chinese products?

High school students who complete the "National Higher Education Entrance Examination", or Gaokao, with top grades will be able to apply for direct entry onto Birmingham degree programmes without first completing a foundation year which is a routine for the freshman.

University of Birmingham Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir David Eastwood said: "The University of Birmingham has been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century. We welcome people from around the globe to study at Birmingham and Chinese students form an integral part of our education and research community. We are further opening access to Birmingham's wealth of education opportunities for the brightest and most dedicated Chinese students by accepting this strict and important qualification. I look forward to welcoming these high-flying students to the University of Birmingham. " Gaokao is increasingly accepted by universities in Australia, the USA, Canada and mainland Europe. Birmingham will only be considering high quality students who achieve a minimum 80% Gaokao score and meet additional academic and English language requirements. Professor J on Frampton, Director of the University of Birmingham's China Institute said:" The University of Birmingham has a long history of educating students from China and one of our most famous graduates is Li Siguang-the founding father of Chinese geology. I am delighted that the University is now accepting the Gaokao. This gives the brightest and best Chinese students an opportunity to move straight into the first year of our undergraduate programmes and experience the benefits of studying at a global Top 100 university, such as Birmingham.
