模块 3　阅读理解

模块 3 │ 题型分类 题型分类 阅读理解的能力要求主要包括如下几方面： (1)读材料的主旨和大意，以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和细节(包括根据上下文推断生词的词义)； (2)既理解具体的事实，也理解抽象的概念； (3)既理解字面的意思，也理解深层的含义，包括作者的态度，意图等； (4)既理解某句，某段的含义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并据此进行推理和判断； (5)既能根据所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 根据这五项要求，可将阅读理解的选择题归纳为以下几种题型： 一、细节理解型 文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为：(1)一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合，一一对应，一目了然。属于浅层次的阅读试题，分数比例极少。(2)语言转述型。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 这是一类间接事实细节题，答案与题目在意义上充分运用了词义之间的转述关系，即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另类表达。属于中档难度题，分数比例较大。(3)语意理解型。这是一类深层事实细节理解题，答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系，这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合，才能得出正确答案。属于较高难度的事实细节题，分数比例很大。(4)是非辨别型。这是一类综合事实细节题，出题形式常常是“三正一误”(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容)或“三误一正”(三项错误，只有一项符合原文内

模块 3 │ 题型分类 容)。 (5)事实排序型。这是一类运用多项事实进行排序的事实细节题，要求根据动作发生的先后顺序、时间顺序或者句子之间的逻辑关系，找出事件发生、发展的正确顺序。 A．细节理解题主要设问的方式有： (1) Which of the following statements is True (Not True)? (2) Which of the questions has not been mentioned (discussed) in the passage? (3) What is the reason that…？

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (4) What do we know about…？ (5) How did the people know the couple’s problem? (6) Why was the bike so important to the couple? B．细节理解题主要的答题策略有： (1)细心审题，直接就题找答案。解答此类试题时，不必通篇细看原文，而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法，先从问题中抓住关键性词语(题眼)，然后以此为线索，运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的：段落、语句，仔细品味，对照比较，确定答案。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (2)变通理解，间接转述找答案。细节理解题通常采用词语和句型转换的形式来取代原文中的表述，命题者在出这类题时惯用“偷梁换柱、张冠李戴”的手法来迷惑考生，即对原句细微处做改动，截取原文词语或结构进行改造，因果倒置，把A的观点说成B的观点等。所以正确理解题干和信息句的意义是关键。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (3)多点归纳，综合事实找答案。细节理解题有时考查的并不是单一的信息，而是多处信息的整合。解答此类“综合”信息细节题时，一定要全面捕捉相关信息，进行综合分析、归纳，切忌根据“一面之词”草率地作出结论。 此外，在答题过程中，要学会分析干扰选项的特点：①是原文信息，但与题目要求不符；②符合常识，但不符合原文内容；③. 与原文情节极为相似，只是在程度上有些变动；④选项中所提供的信息部分正确，部分错误；⑤在意思上与原文大相径庭甚至完全相反。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例1　[2010·山东] A Christopher Thomas,27，was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病)，Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage，blindness and even death. And if that weren’t bad enough，he had no health insurance.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 After a month of feeling upset，Thomas decided he’d better find a way to fight back.He left Canton，Michigan for New York，got a job waiting tables，nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar，and created diabeticrockstar.com，a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories，information and resources.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 Jason Swencki’s son，Kody，was diagnosed with diabetes at six.Father and son visit the online children’s forums(论坛)together most evenings. “Kody gets so excited，writing to kids from all over，”says Swencki，one of the site’s volunteers. “They know what he’s going through，so he doesn’t feel alone.” Kody is anything but alone：Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States，with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 These days，Thomas’s main focus is his charity(慈善机构)，Fight It，which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date —who can’t afford a diabetic’s huge expenses. Fight­it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash.In May，Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 Even with a staff of 22 volunteers，Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause，while still doing his full­time job waiting tables.“Of the diabetes charities out there，most are putting money into finding a cure，”says Bentley Gubar，one of Rockstar’s original members.“But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now.”

模块 3 │ 题型分类 ( )1.Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas? A．He needs to go to the doctor every day. B．He studies the leading cause of diabetes. C．He has a positive attitude to this disease. D．He encourages diabetics by writing articles. 【解析】 C　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“After a month of…back.”以及下文的建立网站，搞慈善事业，每周工作50小时等内容可以看出：Thomas对于自己的疾病采取了积极的态度。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 ( )2.Diabeitcrockstar. com was created for________. A．diabetics to communicate B．volunteers to find jobs C．children to amuse themselves D．rock stars to share resources 【解析】 A　细节理解题。根据a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources可知A项正确。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 ( )3.According to the text, Kody________. A．feel lonely because of his illness B．benefits from diabeticrockstar. com C．helps create the online kid’s forums D．writes children’s stories online 【解析】 B　细节理解题。根据Father and son visit the online children’s forums(论坛) together most evenings. “Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over，” says Swencki, one of the site’s volunteers. “They know what he’s going through, so he doesn’t feel alone. ” 可知B项正确。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 ( )4.What can we learn about Fight It? A．It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties. B．It organizes parties for volunteer once a year. C．It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics. D．It owns a well­known medical website.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 A　细节理解题。根据Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can’t afford a diabetic’s huge expenses. Fight­it. org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. 可知A项正确。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 二、主旨大意型 每篇文章都会有一个主旨要义。主旨要义型题范围一般包括：短文标题、主题大意或段落大意等。 此题型要求考生在理解文章后归纳文章要点，概括中心思想。考生需要分析文章的篇章结构，抓住文章的开头或结尾，从而找出能概括文章的主题句。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 主题句的特点：(1)语言特点：归纳性、概括性、抽象性；(2)位置特点：主题句常出现在“总结性”语言的“信号词”后，如：in summary, in a word, as a result, finally, in short, in conclusion和in brief等；主题句常出现在“转移话题式”语言的“信号词”后，如：but, however, nevertheless，hence等。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 标题的语言特点：独特新颖、概括性强、短小精炼。标题是文章中心思想的精练表达，多为一个名词词组，短小明了，涵盖性强。做这类题目时，要在阅读全文的基础上，把握好层次关系。注意选项的归纳范围要恰如其分，干扰项往往是局部信息，是某一小节或文章里的某一句。所以我们在解题时要反复推敲，把概括范围过窄或过宽的选项过滤掉。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 干扰项的命题特点：①以偏概全。干扰项只阐述了文章的一部分内容，也就是文章的局部信息。 ②断章取义。干扰项常常以文章中的个别信息或个别字眼作为选项的设置内容，或者以次要的事实或细节冒充全文的主要观点。③主题扩大。干扰项所归纳、概括的范围过大，超过文章实际所讨论的内容。④张冠李戴。命题者有意地把属于A的特征放在B的身上，构成一个干扰项。考生不注意的情况下，会造成错选答案。 ⑤无中生有或似是而非。有的干扰项中的关键词语好像在文章中谈到了，但认真分析之后你会发现这类干扰项的内容与文章的内容毫无联系。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 A．主旨大意主要的设题方式有两类：文章的中心思想和文章标题的选择。 (1)Which of the following best gives the main idea of this newspaper article? (2)The best headline for this newspaper article is ________. (3)What is the topic of the text? (4)The text is mainly about ________. (5)What’s the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph? (6)What would be the best title for the text?

模块 3 │ 题型分类 B．主旨大意主要的解题策略有： (1) 抓住主题句，锁定文章主旨。找准主题句是关键。主题句通常在文章开头，而主题句有可能在一段的开头，也有可能在中间或末尾。在很多情况下，主题句如果在段首，其后可能有for example，first，second等信息词。主题句如果在段末，其前可能有above all，all in all等信息词。利用这些信息词，可帮助你迅速找到主题句。一般来说，文章前三句所提供的信息能够让读者了解其大致内容，而读懂每段的第一句话则有助于掌握本段的主要内容。这样做的目的不仅在于可以迅速地把握全段的大意，更重要的是，在时间紧迫的情况下，可以对一段话进行缩读、略读和扫读。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (2)抓住段落大意，概括中心思想。寻找整篇文章的中心思想是建立在寻找具体段落中心的基础上的。各段落中心的整体归纳便是文章的中心思想。不能以偏概全，也不能在概括时过于宽泛，要恰如其分。 (3) 抓住主线和关键，归纳文章中心。分析的方法是：先弄清该段落主要讲了哪几方面的内容，这些内容在逻辑上有什么联系，然后加以归纳形成主题。了解文章的结构，把握住全篇的文脉，即句与句、段与段之间的逻辑关系。对这种能力的考查一般反映在文章的中心内容、文中某一段的大意或指代关系的题目中。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例1 [2010·湖南C篇—节选自文章第一段和最后一段] People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions—and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why. ________________________________________________

模块 3 │ 题型分类 In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 ( )1.What can be the best title for the passage? A．The Eye as the Window to the Soul B．Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions C．Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills D．How to Increase Cross­cultural Understanding

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 B　最佳标题题。文章首先指出科学研究的最新发现：东方人比西方人更难读懂人的面部表情。之后更具体地介绍研究的结构及其研究过程，最后得出结论：文化差异丰富了理解情感的基本社会技巧，即：不同的文化背景使人理解他人情感的方式也不尽相同。由此判断最佳标题应为B。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例2 [2010·全国卷II B篇—节选自文章第一段和第二段] When you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera, the stresses(压力) of the world seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation—you have to finish something!

模块 3 │ 题型分类 Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic(评论家) Edie Jarolim，“I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things，” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere—in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her books, The Complete Idiot’s Travel Guide in Mexico’s Beach Resorts.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 ( )1.What would be the best title for the text? A．Adventures in Travel Writing B．Working as a Food Critic C．Travel Guides on the Market D．Vacationing for a Living

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 D　最佳标题题。本文描述了一个很普遍的谋生问题：谋生在Jarolim身上既是度假休闲，又是写作和评论的源泉。提示在文章第一段结尾句 “Hey, stop! This is no vacation—you have to finish something！”和第二段中 “but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things，”说明了没有想到“度假也可以谋生”的欣喜之情。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例3 [2010·辽宁卷C篇—节选自文章第一段] Too much TV­watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children. (　　)1.What would be the best title for this text? A．Computers or Television B．Effects of Television on Children C．Studies on TV and College Education D．Television and Children’s Learning Habits

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 B　最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要通过两项研究分析了儿童看电视所造成的影响。文章第一段第一句话是主题句，所以B项作为标题是最佳的。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例4 [2010·江西A篇—节选自文章最后两段] Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he lived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 “You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover，” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic！” But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow. (　　)1.Which of the following can best describe Andy’s escape from the bees? A．No pains, no gains. B．Once bitten, twice shy. C．Where there is a will, there is a way. D．In time of danger, one’s mind works fast.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 D　主旨大意题。本文讲述了主人公Andy在上学途中遭遇蜂群攻击， 急中生智， 躲入水中避险成功的故事。根据最后一段第二句Andy妈妈的话“Thank goodness you didn’t panic(谢天谢地你没有慌神)”可知，情急之下Andy仍然成功想到办法脱险，再综合A、B、C、D四个选项的意思， 可以判断出选D项。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例5 [2010·年浙江卷C篇—节选自文章最后一段] We often don’t remember things as well when we’re trying to manage several details at the same time. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory stores. That is one of the main reasons we forget people’s names—even sometimes right after they have introduced themselves. Multitasking

模块 3 │ 题型分类 can also affect our relationships. If someone checks their e­mail while on the phone with a friend, they may come off as absent­minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss or overlook key information being passed on to them.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 ( )1.What is the main idea of the passage? A．Multitasking has become a way of life. B．Multitasking often leads to efficiency decline. C．Multitasking exercises need to be improved. D．Multitasking enables people to remember things better.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 B　主旨大意题。本文是一篇科普文章，讨论“多重任务处理(multitasking)”即“一心多用”导致工作效率低下的科学原理。根据文章第一段的最后两行，可知本文主要讲的是同时做多个项目会降低工作效率。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 三、词义猜测型 历年高考都把猜测词义作为考生应该掌握的一项阅读技能列入试题，词义推断可以是一个单词的意义推断，也可以是一个短语或句子的意义推断，既可以是生词意义，也可以是熟词新意；还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。在阅读理解题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据短文提供的语境，通过阅读上下文，根据已知的信息或常识来推测尚不熟悉的词或词组的含义。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 A．词义猜测主要的设题方式有： (1)The underlined words “took off ” in paragraph 2 mean “________”． (2)What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? (3)The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that________. (4)Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the word “exotic” in the third paragraph?

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (5)The underlined phrase “ turn his back on” (paragraph 6) most probably mean________. (6)By saying “ We need them yesterday ”(paragraph 7)，Stover means that snakelike robots________. B．词义猜测主要的解题策略有： (1)依据标点符号猜测词义。标点符号是词义猜测的最直接，最简单的信号词。比如，破折号、冒号常常起解释说明的功能，引号和括号有时也起到相同的作用。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (2)依据反义词和对比关系猜测词义。运用对比手法描述事物或现象是文章写作的一种常用的修辞手法。在这种修辞手段下，作者常借用一些信号词来提供相反信息，从而表明一个词与前面的另一个词互为反义。常用的信号词有：but/yet/however/nevertheless; while/whereas; otherwise/or else; unlike /instead/rather than; by contrast/compared to; on the contrary/on the other hand 等。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (3)依据下定义，作解释猜测词义。在说明文、科技文中运用下定义或解释概念的方法来定义或诠释某一名词或概念是文章写作的又一特点。在写作方法上常采用先总后分(即先定义后解释)或先分后总(即先说明后结论)的叙述方式。常用的定义信号词有： be defined as/be termed(被定义为) ，be called (被称为), mean/refer to/be(意指，是)。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (4)依据逻辑推理猜测词义。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。常见的逻辑关系有：因果关系，同位关系，对比关系，转折关系等。此外，考生还可以依据词性变化和词义变化(词义引申 )来猜测词义。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例1　Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house—the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband. (　　)The underlined words “ henpecked_ husband.” probably mean a man who________. A．likes hunting　　　B．is afraid of hens C．loves his wife D．is afraid of his wife

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 D　依据标点符号猜测词义。破折号“ —— ” 起进一步解释说明的作用。由句前信息 “他为逃避妻子的唠叨而逃到屋外”可知“他是一个怕老婆的人”，因此选择 D 项。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例2　They were no longer passively_waiting_for the bell, but actively took part in the lesson. (　　)The underlined words “passively _waiting_for ” probably mean________. A．longing for a phone call B．hoping to have a bell C．expecting the end of the class D．wanting to speak in class

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 C　依据反义词和对比关系猜测词义。but 分句 actively took part in the lesson(学生们积极上课) 与前句 They were no longer passively waiting for the bell 形成鲜明的对比，不难猜出答案 C (学生们不再被动地等待下课)是正确选项。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例3　 Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People’s food suppliers were similarly vulnerable. (　　)The underlined word “vulnerable” means________. A．impossible to make sure of B．likely to be protected C．easy to damage D．difficult to find

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 C　运用逻辑上的类比关系猜测词义。在这段描写中，作者把 houses，boats 和 food suppliers 放在一起比，说明它们的共同特点 easy to damage，故选 C 项。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例4　I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded_her_judgment. (　　)问题：The underlined words “ clouded _her_judgment” probably mean ________. A．made her less trustful toward the doctor B．put her in control of her own feelings C．made her less able to think clearly D．put her in a dangerous situation

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 B　运用名词动化猜测词义。此处 cloud 名词动化为“把……遮盖住，使……模糊不清”，对于思维而言，就是“不能清楚地思考”，因此选 B 项。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例5 (2010·江西D篇—节选自文章第三段) (Paragraph 3)However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the_days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 ( )1.What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Imaginary life. B．Simple life in the past. C．Times of inventions. D．Time for constant activity.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 B　词义猜测题。本题是根据前后逻辑推理猜测词义。原句意义：也许， 我们静静聆听广播里的故事节目， 任想象插上翅膀肆意翱翔的日子， 已经一去不复返了。根据前后句可得知， 文章重点是说高速生活和简单生活的对比。故B项是对原文的正确解读。而A选项的理解有偏差， 重点转移了。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 四、推理判断型 推理判断题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。做好该题型要从整体上把握语篇内容，在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁，透过字里行间，去体会作者的“弦外之音”。推理判断题常常可以分为如下几类：(1)细节推断。如时间、地点、人物关系等；(2)逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因； (3)目的、意图、态度推断。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 根据文章的论述，推断作者的写作目的以及作者的情感态度；(4)预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明，要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。 A推理判断主要的设题方式有： (1)It can be inferred from the passage (or the last paragraph) that… (2)It can be learned from the passage (or the last paragraph) that…

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (3)It can be concluded from the passage (or the last paragraph) that… (4)It implies that… (5)Where would you most probably find this passage? (6)What would the author most likely continue to talk about in the next paragraph(s)?

模块 3 │ 题型分类 B推理判断主要的解题策略有： (1)根据不同文体，推断目的意图。高考阅读试题涉及到各类文章，而以议论文为主，文章的主题句、核心句往往会直接或间接地表明作者的态度立场；也有说明文、叙述文。前者因为其体裁的客观性，作者的态度也往往采取中立。而后者因为其文章观点往往不直接提出，而且作者写作时也常带有某种倾向性，所以，阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (2)根据用词风格，推断情感态度。一篇好的文章，其用词风格常常直接流露或蕴含作者的内心世界和情感态度。所以阅读时要善于捕捉表达或暗示情感态度的词句或短语，捕捉那些烘托气氛、渲染情感的词句，进而很好地洞察作者的思想倾向，是支持、反对抑或中立？对于选项而言，要分清选项中的褒义词、中性词和贬义词，以此对照全文。如：1)表示褒义的

模块 3 │ 题型分类 词语：positive赞成的；supporting支持的；praising赞扬的；optimistic乐观的；admiring羡慕的；enthusiastic热情的等。2)表示中性的词语：uninterested无兴趣的，不感兴趣的； neutral中立的；impersonal不带个人感情的；subjective主观的；objective客观的等。3)表示贬义的词语：disgusted感到恶心的，厌恶的；critical批评的；negative 否定的，反对的；suspicious怀疑的；tolerant容忍的，忍让的；worried 担忧的等。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (3)根据写作思路，推断段落发展。不同的文体，写作思路和写作手法也不尽相同。做题时，要善于体会作者的写作思路，揣摩作者的谋篇布局，从宏观上左右文章的结构框架；同时，还要把握作者行文时所运用的修辞手段，如对比、举例、下定义等。通过梳理写作思路，明晰写作手法，即可对文章的发展作出比较科学合理的推断和预测。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (4)根据事实细节，推断合理信息。推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说，要做到判断有据，推论有理，忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例 　[2010·浙江D篇] My family and I lived across the street from Southway Park since I was four years old.Then just last year the city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing (用推土机推平) the trees and grass to make way for a new apartment complex. When I saw the fence and bulldozers，I asked myself，“Why don’t they just leave it alone？”

模块 3 │ 题型分类 Looking back，I think what sentenced the park to oblivion (被遗忘) was the drought (旱灾) we had about four years ago.Up until then，Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming pool.My friends and I rollerskated on the sidewalks，climbed the trees，and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up.The park was almost like my own yard.Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and things changed.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 There had been almost no rain at all that year. The city stopped watering the park grass. Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert. Leaves fell off the park trees，and pretty soon the trees started dying，too. Next，the park swimming pool was closed. The city cut down on the work force that kept the park，and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 As the drought lasted into the fall，the park got worse every month. The rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass. Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck. People said drugs were being sold or traded there now. The park had gotten scary，and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal，that is，everything but the park. It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way. Then about six months ago I heard that the city was going to “redevelop” certain worn­out areas of the city. It turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park，sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 The chain­link fencing and the bulldozers did their work. Now we live across the street from six rows of apartment buildings. Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction. The neighborhood has changed without the park. The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now. Things will never be the same again. Sometimes_ I_wonder，though，what_changes_another_drought _would_make_in_the_way_things_are_today.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (　　)1.How did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers? A．Scared.　　　　 B．Confused. C．Upset. D．Curious. 【解析】 C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段的最后一句：Why don’t they just leave it alone？以及第二段的美好回顾，可以推断出，作者对现在的变化很难过。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (　　)2.Why was the writer told not to go to the park by his mother? A．It was being rebuilt. B．It was dangerous. C．It became crowded. D．It had turned into a desert. 【解析】 B　推理判断题。根据文章第四段The park had gotten scary可知答案。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 五、篇章结构型 最近两年，篇章结构题频繁地出现在各地高考英语阅读理解题中，已经成为了一种新颖而独立的阅读题型。从其考查内容而言，可分为三种：考查考生对整个文章结构的组织能力；考查考生对后文内容的预测能力；考查考生对文章写作手法、修辞手段的赏析能力。 A篇章结构主要的设题方式常有： (1)How is the passage organized? (2)Which of the following best shows the structure/organization of the passage? (3)What will the author most probably talk about next?

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (4)The author develops the passage mainly by ________. (5)The first paragraph serves as a(n)________． (6)The example of…is given to show/illustrate that________. B篇章结构主要的解题策略常有： (1)了解文章结构的组织形式。从段落组织方式上讲，常见的文章结构有三种：总分式结构(总→分；总→分→总；分→总)、并列式结构(段落之间是平行关系，并且相对独立)、对照式结构(结构形式上是一正一反)。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (2)了解文章的论证方法。从论证方法上讲，常见的议论文结构有以下两类： Put forward a question→Analyze the question→Solve the question 即“提出问题、分析问题、解决问题”的过程；Argument/idea→Evidence→Conclusion /Restating the idea 即“由论点到论据到结论或者强调论点”的过程。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (3)了解文章的修辞手法。从修辞手法上讲，在高考阅读中主要考查下定义、分类说明、列举例证和对比等写作手法。其中，“引用”和“例证”是议论文和说明文中最常用的写作手法之一。是历年高考阅读试题中必不可缺的命题方向。“引用”和“例证”的共同目的就是增强说服力，来更好地达到说理、说明的目的。“引用”和“例证”的共同功能是服务于段落或篇章的主题。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例1 [2010·北京D篇—节选自文章第五段] Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (　　)1.The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to________. A．argue against free university education B．call on them to finance students’ studies C．encourage graduates to go into business D．show their contribution to higher education

模块 3 │ 题型分类 【解析】 A　结构推断题。本题考查例证的功能。题目问：此处谈到business有什么目的，就等于问议论文中的论据有什么用，支持什么论点。马上从本段段首找论点：Many people believe that higher education should be free…从全文也可以看出作者就是要反对free higher education。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例2　[2010·重庆C篇] It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers (生产商)follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征)of clothes. What seems strange，however，is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right，and women’s from the left.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 Considering most of the world’s population—men and women—are right­handed，the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?

模块 3 │ 题型分类 History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century，when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right­handed servants，having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand，having men’s shirts button from the right made sense，too. Most men dressed themselves，and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 Today women are seldom dressed by servants，but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually，a standard，once set，resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned from the left，it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right. After all，women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 Besides，some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right，since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 ( )1.The passage is mainly developed by________. A．analyzing causes B．making comparisons C．examining differences D．following the time order 【解析】 A　篇章结构题。本题考查文章的论证方法。通观整篇文章可以看出，作者在开始提到一个现象——男女衣服的标准相反，然后分析这种现象产生的历史原因。由此判断选A项。

模块 3 │ 题型分类 例3 [2009·北京] How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings 例3　[2009·北京] How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的，实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers­Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C．Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim(暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.

模块 3 │ 题型分类 So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we’re_almost_looking_at _the_problem_through_a_straw(吸管)，” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That’s what we’re all struggling with.”

模块 3 │ 题型分类 (　　)1.Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?

模块 3 │ 题型分类 CP: Central Point P: point? Sp: Sub—point(次要点)C: Conclusion 【解析】 C　篇章结构题。本题考查段落的组织形式。本文第一段为总要点，最后一段为结论，要点1、2、3共同服务于结论，重要的是要点二又包含了两个次要点。综上分析可知答案为C。

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 应试点睛 　 要想顺利通过高考英语阅读理解部分，学生必须具备《高中英语新课程标准》规定要达到的词汇量和固定短语量、熟悉语法结构，拓宽知识面，熟悉各种体裁和题材的文章，提高阅读速度，提高通过阅读获取信息的能力。此外，在复习中，应该注意以下几点：

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 一、 速读全文，了解大意知主题 阅读的目的是获取信息。阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。高考要求的阅读速度大约是每分钟60个词。考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质，掌握文章大意。阅读时读者没有必要研读全文，速读的诀窍在于浏览文章的内容提要、前言、标题、副标题、插图、表格、开头和结尾等部分，这样

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 就可以把握文章大意了。许多文章在第一段提出问题，中间段落进行分析、例证，最后一段是归纳结论，每段第一句话往往是主题句。抓主题句，是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 二、详读细节，理顺思路与脉络 文章绝不是互不相干的句子杂乱无章的堆砌。作者为文，有脉可循。如记叙文多以人物为中心，以时间或空间为线索，按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事；论述文则包含论点、论据、结论三大要素，通过解释、举例来阐述观点。你可根据文章的特点，详读细节，以动词、时间、地点、事件、因果等为线索，找出关键词语，运用“画图列表法”，勾画出一幅完整清晰的文章主题和细节的认知图。

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 三、抓住主干，化解难句捕信息 要实现快速准确理解文章大意，就要学会抓句子的关键成分，即句子的主干成分，如主语、谓语和宾语，因为它们是传达信息的主要载体，其他成分，不论它有多么长，多么复杂它都是辅助成分。要说明的核心问题是，我们阅读英语文章时，一定要有一个全局观念，从宏观上来把握文章，做到了这一点，我们面对各类文章的各类题型

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 都能够从容应对。 比如：Another element in the emergence of prodigies(神童)，I found , is a society that values excellence in a certain field and is able nurture talent. 只要我们抓住了element is society就可以得知，社会是神童出现的一个因素。

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 四、利用规律技巧，轻松应考走捷径 分析研究阅读理解历届考题，可以发现命题者命制的考点是有一定规律的，且考点规律常与某种题型(主旨题、细节题、逻辑题、观点态度题、词义题)相对应。如果考生掌握了这些规律，就能在第一遍快速阅读短文时，敏锐地捕捉到考点并能预测可能会出的题型。下面，将这些考点规律及对应题型归纳如下：

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 常考点规律：(1)举例子、打比喻 为了使自己的观点更有说服力、更加明确，作者经常用具体的例子打比方，句中常由as, such as, for example, for instance等引导的短语或句子作为举例句，这些例句或比喻成为命题者提问的焦点。考生需注意的是例子或比喻一般是和文章或段落中心紧密相关的，常以“细节事实性”题型和“推断性”题型出现，但偏倾于“推断性”题型。

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 (2)引用人物论断 作者为了正确表达出自己的观点或使论点更有依据，常常引用某名人的论断或重要发现等。命题者常在此做文章。多以“推理性”题为主，有时也出“细节事实性”题型。

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 (3)转折处与强对比 一般而言，转折后的内容常常是语义的重点，命题者常对转折处的内容进行提问。转折一般通过however, but, yet, in fact等词或短语来引导。强对比常由unlike, until, not so much…as等词或短语引导。命题者常对用来对比的双方属性进行考查。 比如文章中说甲具有X属性，但乙与甲不同，问乙有何属性？答曰：非X属性。此类考点常出现在逻辑推理型题中，少数出现于其他题型中。

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 (4)复杂句 复杂句常是命题者出题之处，包括同位语、插入语、定语、长句后半句、从句、不定式等，命题者主要考查考生对句子之间指代关系、文章段落之间关系的理解，常以逻辑推理题型出现，包括少量其他题型。

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 (5)因果句 命题者常以文中因果句命制一些考查文中两个事件内在的因果关系的试题，或出些概括文意、段意试题。一般以“推理性”题型和主旨大意题型出现，兼顾少量其他题型。表示因果关系的词有：because, since, for，as, therefore, consequently, result in, originate from 等。

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 (6)特殊标点符号 由于特殊标点符号后内容是对前面内容的进一步解释和说明，因此命题者常以标点符号后的内容进行提问。具体说，特殊标点符号包括：(1)破折号(表解释)；(2)括号(表解释)；(3)冒号(表解释)；(4)引号(表引用)。题型一般有推理题，主旨大意题，细节事实题等。

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 (7)段首，段尾句 在短文中第一段首句或末段末句往往是文章中心思想的表达处；有时某一段的段首，段尾句是该段的主题句。因此，命题者常在这些地方出题。题型基本上属主旨大意型。 (8)最高级与绝对性词汇 文中若出现must，all，only，anyone，always，never等绝对性词汇，或形容词副词的最高级形式，往往是考点，一般出“细节性问题”。因为这些地方概念绝对，答案唯一，无论是命题还是答题，都不会产生歧义。命题人员以此为考点，可保证命题绝对正确。

模块 3 │ 应试点睛 以上分析，基本上概括了历届考试阅读理解题考点常考处及其对应题型。考生掌握了这些规律，在读文章时，就要在这些考点常出现地方作些记号。阅读完毕，这些作记号的地方基本上就是出题的地方。然后再对照后面的题目，一一找到相对应的考点，再细细分析做题。这样就避免做一题，看一下整个段落，甚至全文，从而节省了时间。

专题 一 │人物传记类 专题一　人物传记类

专题 一 │ 专题导读 专题导读 人物传记阅读理解是高考英语常考材料之一。人物传记主要涉及某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长和奋斗历程等，其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线，脉络清楚，可读性较强。此类文体主要考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料易看懂，题目不好做的感觉。做题时要注意以下几点：(1)理清事件的线索；(2)分析人物的个性特点；(3)把握记叙的顺序，是顺叙、倒叙还是插叙？

专题 一 │ 专题预测 Meanwhile, in America, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was studying to be a minister. He was very concerned about the lack of educational opportunities for the deaf. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London, England to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. While he was there, he met a French educator of the deaf who invited him to go to Paris to spend three months learning at the Royal Institution for the Deaf, the school where Laurent Clerc was

It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 专题预测 (一) “I’ve changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to Father Christmas written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gate must have touched every heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there, too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m

专题 二 │ 专题预测 still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children！” I haven’t forgotten. The value of my parents still live on.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence has been to face the aggressors (挑衅者), and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword, and my darling from the power of the god.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 (　　)1.According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph ________. A．puts forward the subject of the text B．shows the author’s pity on the kid C．acts as an introduction to the discussion D．makes a clear statement of the author’s views

专题 二 │ 专题预测 (　　)3.What feeling did the author’s mother express in her reply? A．Proud.　　　　　　　B．Happy. C．Disappointed. D．Worried.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 (　　)4.In the author’s opinion, the value of a person’s life is________. A．to leave behind a precious memory to the people related B．to have a high sense of duty to the whole C．to care what others will remember and treasure D．to share happiness and sadness with his family

专题 二 │ 专题预测 (　　)5.What does the writer mean by the sentence taken from an old poem? A．Call on criminals and murderers to lay down their guns. B．Advise parents stay with their children safely at home. C．Spend every day meaningfully in memory of the death. D．Try to keep violence and murder far away from society.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 【文章大意】 该篇是夹叙夹议的文章。从一个孩子给圣诞老人写的一封信引出了父母应该为孩子留下什么这一主题。 1．C　结构功能题。第一段是作为话题的引子，即从孩子的书信引出作者对问题的思考。所以本段的功能是引出话题。故C正确。

专题 二 │ 专题预测 2．B　段落主题题。从第二段内容可知，作者的父母虽然去世多年，但他们在作者心目中的地位甚至比他们活的时候还要高。尤其是最后一句The value of my parents still live on更是对本段做了高度的总结。与之符合的意思应该选B。 3．D　判断推理题。第二段讲述了作者成为教授后非常兴奋，急于把这一消息告之父母。但他们的反映却出乎作者意料。母亲只是说：“这下你该有空陪陪孩子了吧！”由转折连词but可知，母亲为作者只顾自己的前程，不关心孩子而担心，故D项正确。

专题 二 │ 专题预测 2．A　细节理解题。由倒数第二段“He opened his programme and sure enough under the heading “events” he saw the three words(就是上文提到的，Javelin, Pole Vault, Shot Putt) the men had said.可知答案，关键词为“events”。 3．B　细节理解题。由第二段的“Excited by the student’s colourful description of Spain and the Games, Angus decided to attend the event in person and two months later arrived in Barcelona. ”可以看出，这位西班牙学生的描述使Angus很兴奋。

专题 二 │ 专题预测 4．A　推理判断题。第一段告诉我们，15岁的Angus MacLeod 生活在大山里，消息比较闭塞，没有收音机也没出过远门，只能从父亲以及来爬山的人那里了解一些情况。下文他对听到的消息兴奋的表现(看到运动员带着装备进去他也拿了铁丝网要进场)也证明了这一点。故选A。 5．B　推理判断题。文章告诉我们，那些拿着装备的人都是参赛者(competitors)，而他不是参赛者，肩上扛着“a roll of barbed wire (铁丝网)”，并且“as casually as he could, shouted”，肯定会被拒之门外的。

专题 二 │ 专题预测 4．A　目的意图题。根据第三段It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.可知，母亲的话使我思考我死后如何还能活在我的孩子以及我关心的人心中的问题，符合 A项表达。 5．D　句意理解题。这句话的字面意义是：从剑中抽出我的灵魂，从上帝的权威下拯救我的爱人。结合第一段所涉及的校园暴力事件来看，这句话表达了作者的愿望：远离暴力。 所以D项正确。Deliver…from…意为“把……从……中挽救出来”。

专题 二 │ 专题预测 (二) As Joe and Michael were heading towards the Drivers License place, Michael, who was behind the wheel, froze as he heard the voice on the radio saying that a man had been murdered by a bullet that had came from the sky. He immediately drove off and went to a secret place. Later on that day, after thinking that the shot they had fired possibly wasn’t the shot that killed Mr Ward, they headed back to the Drivers License place where Michael failed the driver’s test because he could

专题 二 │ 专题预测 not think straight. For the next two months, Michael and Joe hid the secret that the bullet had actually shot Mr Ward. During this time, Jenna Ward started to realize life without her father. While Jenna mourned the death of her father, a strange boy started to appear at the front steps of the church across the street from her house. After many nights of watching this boy, she finally recognized that it was Michael who was sitting on the steps every night.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 After months of finding out where the shot came, the police were able to narrow the search area down to within a four­block area. Among these four blocks were Michael’s house and Joe’s house. When the police arrived at Michael’s house, his dad mentioned the gun that Michael had received from his grandpa at his

专题 二 │ 专题预测 birthday party. Michael, trying to be sly(狡猾的), told the cops that Joe had borrowed the gun. Upon this, Joe said that the gun had been stolen out of his car along with his CD player. After the police were gone, Michael met Joe at a special spot and told Joe the gun was under the wood pile in his backyard.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 One day, when Michael thought the police would not come back, he came home to find the police searching his backyard with metal detectors. When the Sergeant(警官) went into the woods behind the house, he came out with a bullet that Joe and he had shot off on his birthday. The bullet matched the one that they had recovered from Mr. Ward, but without the gun, the police could not place Michael as the killer.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 With the pressure mounting, Michael finally broke down and realized he had to give up. On a Saturday morning, he went to Jenna’s house to confess to her and her mother and then turned_himself_in.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 (　　)1.It can be inferred from the story that Michael and Joe________. A．shot and killed Mr Ward by accident B．shot and killed Mr Ward deliberately C．fired a bullet that killed Ward from the sky D．were experienced professional murders

专题 二 │ 专题预测 (　　)2.Michael and Joe drove to the Drivers License place________. A．to find out whether Mr Ward was dead B．to find a secret place to hide themselves C．to take the driver’s license test D．to have their car wheel repaired

专题 二 │ 专题预测 (　　)3.Why did Michael sit on the steps of the church every night? A．He was monitoring Jenna’s whereabouts (行踪)． B．He was probably feeling upset and guilty. C．He wanted to make sure that Ward was dead. D．He wanted to show sympathy for the Ward’s.

专题 二 │ 专题预测 ( )4.From the passage we can learn that________. A．Michael lent the gun to Joe at his birthday party B．the gun together with a CD player was stolen from Joe’s car C．Michael hid the gun under the wood pile in his backyard D．the Sergeant discovered the bullet in the wood pile

专题 二 │ 专题预测 (　　)5.The underlined phrase “turned himself in” in the last paragraph means________. A．returned home B．went into the room C．fled into the woods D．delivered himself to the police

专题 二 │ 专题预测 【文章大意】 本文是著名小说Swallowing the Stones 的故事缩写。 1．A　推理判断题。从全文特别是第一段的“Later on that day, after thinking that the shot they had fired possibly wasn’t the shot that killed Mr Ward, they headed back to the Drivers License place”可知他们不是故意枪杀Mr Ward的。

专题 二 │ 专题预测 2．C　细节理解题。第一段中“they headed back to the Drivers License place where Michael failed the driver’s test because he could not think straight”可知Michael是去考驾照，但因思想不集中而未考过。 3．B　推理判断题。从全文看Michael并非故意杀人，因生日玩枪走火打死了无辜的沃德先生，事后十分害怕不安，当然也会有负罪感，故每天晚上到沃德家对面的教堂台阶上坐着观察沃德家， 故选B。

专题 二 │ 专题预测 4．C　细节理解题。由第三段最后一句After the police were gone, Michael met Joe at a special spot and told Joe the gun was under the wood pile in his backyard.可知。 5．D　词义猜测题。从文章最后一段可知，随着精神上的压力不断上升，Michael终于崩溃了，他到詹娜家向她和她妈妈认错说了实话，然后就去警察局自首了(turned himself in)。

专题 三 │ 真题再现 真题再现 [2010·四川] Somali pirates(海盗) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly l,200 Miles off the Somali coast, the farthest­off­shore attack to date，an officer said Tuesday. Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡逻)by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force, said a spokesman.

专题 三 │ 真题再现 The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”． “Once they start attacking that far out, you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia，” said an officer，Roger Middleton.“Once you’re that far out, it’s just the Indian Ocean, and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia, from Asia to South Africa. ”

专题 三 │ 真题再现 “This is the farthest robbing to date.They are now operating near the Maldives and India，” said another officer. The three ships—the MV Prantalay 11,12，and 14—had 77 members on board in total.All of them are Thai, the spokesman said.Before the Sunday robbing, pirates held l l ships and 228 sailors.

专题 三 │ 真题再现 Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships，the success rate(率)has gone down，though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.

专题 三 │ 真题再现 (　　)1.The pirate attack reported in the text happened ________. A．far out in the Indian Ocean B．in the normal patrol area C．near the Somali, coast D．in the south of Africa

专题 三 │ 真题再现 (　　)2.According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems? A．More goods on board are lost. B．Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now. C．The number of attacks has stayed the same these years. D．Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.

专题 三 │ 真题再现 (　　)3.Which is TRUE about the warship patrols according to the text? A．The patrols are of little effect. B．The patrols are more difficult. C．More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia. D．The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas. (　　)4.How many sailors were held by the pirates up to the time of the report? A．228.　　　B．77.　　　C．383.　　　D．305.

专题 三 │ 真题再现 2．B　主旨大意题。文章由发生在周末的海盗对泰国渔船的袭击，引出索马里海盗的袭击已经超越国际保护队的正常护卫范围，而进入更深的海域。 3．B　细节理解题。依据第四段可知巡逻明显见效，又有一旦再超过那么远，那就是印度洋，那就意味着你在看管从波斯湾到亚洲，从亚洲到南美洲的所有行线。可知应是巡逻难度加大了。

专题 三 │ 专题预测 专题预测 (一) SAN FRANCISCO— As skies are filled with millions of migrating birds, European scientists say the seasonal miracle appears to depend on a seeming contradiction: The fatter the bird, the more efficiently it flies. The result of their study contradicts a central theory of aerodynamics(空气动力学), which predicts that the power needed to fly increases with weight.

专题 三 │ 专题预测 For birds, apparently, the cost of flying with heavy fuel loads is considerably smaller than previously thought. Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before making their twice­a­year, non­stop commute(路程) between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic. Distance: 5,000 kilometers.

专题 三 │ 专题预测 Another study in the journal Nature measured the benefits of flying in an aerodynamic V formation, which allows bird to save energy by gliding in the lead bird’s air stream. Flying in formation, their heart rates were as much as 14.5 percent lower than flying solo, according to Henri Weimerskirch, a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations.

专题 三 │ 专题预测 Researchers had assumed that thinner, more athletic birds would have the best chance of survival. The first study suggests that building up fat deposits(存放) to be burned as fuel during the migrating is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight. In the study, researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body masses during 28 simulated(模拟) flights. They were injected with a small amount of water containing a radioactive element that enabled the team to measure the amount of energy burned.

专题 三 │ 专题预测 ( )1.Researchers used to believe________. A．the thinner a bird is, the less energy it needs to fly B．migratory birds make a journey from the British Isles to the Russian Arctic C．aerodynamics makes no sense D．birds eat more before they begin their migrations

专题 三 │ 专题预测 (　　)2.According to the passage, birds prefer to fly in the V formation rather than fly solo because________. A．it is against aerodynamic to fly in the V formation B．they can save energy while migrating C．they won’t get lost with a bird leading the way D．in this way their heart beat faster so that they can fly faster

专题 三 │ 专题预测 ( )3.The researchers didn’t ________ in the study. A．inject the birds with water containing a radioactive element B．watch birds of different body masses in simulated flights C．take the birds’ heart rates D．feed the birds to fatten them

专题 三 │ 专题预测 ( )4.The best title of the passage should be________. A．Birds Fatten up for Journey B．Migratory Birds in Europe C．New Findings D．Migrating in V formation

专题 三 │ 专题预测 【文章大意】 短文报道了对鸟迁徙的研究。研究结果出乎人们的意料：因为鸟在迁徙过程中要消耗大量能量，所以越肥胖的鸟越有可能在迁徙过程中存活。 1．A　推理判断题。由第一段中的“seeming contradiction：The fatter the bird，the more efficiently it flies.”可知，科学家们通过研究发现一个似乎有些矛盾的事实：鸟的体重越重，飞行越有效。再结合第七段Researchers had assumed that thinner，more athletic birds would have the best chance of survival可知，研究者原以为越瘦越强壮的鸟，在迁徙飞行中越占优势，耗费的能量也越小。

专题 三 │ 专题预测 2．B 细节理解题。根据文章第五、六段的内容可知，与单独飞行相比，鸟群排成V字形飞行时能够节省能量。 3．D　细节理解题。由最后一段的“They were injected with a small amount water containing a radioactive element.”可知A是科学家们在试验中有过的举措，故排除；从“their team studied the birds flying at different body mass

专题 三 │ 专题预测 during 28 simulated(模拟的)flights”可知，B也是做过的；从第六段中的Flying in formation，their heart rates were as much as 14.5 percent lower than flying solo可以排除C；而科学家们并没有给鸟儿喂食，使它们更肥，故答案为D。 4．A　最佳标题题。这篇短文报道了对鸟迁徙的研究，研究表明因为鸟在迁徙过程中要消耗大量能量，所以越肥胖的鸟越有可能在迁徙的过程中存活，因此这篇短文的标题应该是A项。

专题 三 │ 专题预测 (二) Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults?

专题 三 │ 专题预测 They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.

专题 三 │ 专题预测 “What’s really exciting is that they’re films for kids by kids，” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event，” Ms. Gardner added.

专题 三 │ 专题预测 The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B．B.King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005.“A lot of the material is really mature，” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership­training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti­ Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.” Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.

专题 三 │ 专题预测 The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and full­length film whose title is Pressures.

A．cover different subjects B．focus on kids’ life C．are produced by Global Action Project D．are directed by Ms. Gardner

专题 三 │ 专题预测 (　　)5.At the end of this film festival, there will be________. A．various awards B．“red carpet” interviews C．an open reception D．a concert at Lincoln Center

专题 三 │ 专题预测 【文章大意】 本文是一篇娱乐报道类的文章。文章讲述了Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival是针对孩子们作为制片人而设置一些令成人都羡慕的奖项。 1．C　细节理解题。由第二段最后一句话和第三段第一句话可知Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival播放由孩子制片人制作的电影。 2．B　细节理解题。由第三段第一句话可知Wingspan Arts是一个非盈利为目的的为青少年提供艺术项目的纽约的组织。

专题 三 │ 专题预测 3．C　词义猜测题。由第三段“This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia”和shorts后面的关键词“to be shown”，可判断出有很多部各种题材的电影将在此次电影节上上映，其中的九个shorts，应该是九个短片电影。

专题 三 │ 专题预测 4．A　总结归纳题。由倒数第二段的内容描述，特别是关键句“The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B．B.King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005.”可总结归纳出此次电影节的电影主题内容涉及面非常广。 5．C　细节理解题。由最后一段的“The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown.”可知电影节结束时会举办一次开放的招待会，届时将会有其他的电影上映。

专题 五 │ 真题再现 真题再现 [2010·全国I] EDGEWOOD—Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment: the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs. Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.

专题 五 │ 真题再现 By closing time at 9：20 am, the shop usually sells 90 drinks. “Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good，” Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher. The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school.

专题 五 │ 真题再现 They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers. Special­education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia. Not that it was easy. Chevalier’s first problem to overcome was product­related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content?

专题 五 │ 真题再现 Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non­fat milk, fell within nutrition(营养) guidelines. The whole school has joined in to help.

专题 五 │ 专题预测 专题预测 (一) Have you ever thought about what determines the way we are when we grow up? Remember the TV program Seven Up? It started following the lives of a group of children in 1973.We first meet them as wide­eyed seven­year­olds and catch up with them at seven­year intervals: nervous 14­year­olds, serious 21­year­olds and then grown­ups.

专题 五 │ 专题预测 Some of the stories are inspiring, others sad, but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the way in which the children’s early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives.For example, at seven, Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver.When he grows up, he goes on to do both.How about Niki? She says, “I would like to find out about the moon.” And she goes on to become a space scientist.As a child, soft­spoken Bruce says he wants to help “poor children” and ends up teaching in India.

专题 五 │ 专题预测 But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern, the program would be far less interesting than it actually was.It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so interesting.Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up? Are children influenced by what their parents do, by what they see on television or by what their

专题 五 │ 专题预测 teachers say? How great is the effect of a single important event? Many film directors, including Steven Spielberg, say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives. Dr.Margaret McAllister, who has done a lot of research in this area, thinks that the major factors are parents, friends and their wider society.

专题 五 │ 专题预测 ( )1.What does the text mainly discuss? A．New ways to make a TV program interesting. B．The importance of TV programs to children. C．Different ways to make childhood dreams come true. D．The influence of childhood experience on future lives.

专题 五 │ 专题预测 3．A　推理判断题。第二段第一句讲到所有事例中最有趣的就是孩子们的希望和梦想在未来得到了实现，可见童年的希望和未来的工作是有关联的，故本题选A。 4．B　推理判断题。包括斯皮尔伯格在内的许多导演都说，早期到电影院去是他们人生的转折点，由此可见特定的儿童时期的经历会决定孩子未来从事的职业。

专题 五 │ 专题预测 (二) Why is it that students in less popular majors sometimes find it easier to get a job? Simple. It’s because they are out there in the “blue ocean”， a relatively untouched area.

专题 五 │ 专题预测 The term was created by Chan Kim and Renee Manborgne, two professors who use it to describe less crowded parts of business and industry with little or no competition. It contrasts with the “red ocean”， which is already saturated,_ competitive, and crowded with people or companies providing the same services or producing the same goods.

专题 五 │ 专题预测 According to these two authors，the primary goal of business is to enter the “blue ocean” or create a new market. This is done by creating what no one else has. Business must come up with creative things that are useful and affordable and reduce unnecessary costs. So customers get what they want for less and sellers get a higher return on their investment. When these two are combined, it’s a catalyst(催化剂)for the blue ocean market.

专题 五 │ 专题预测 McDonald’s is a popular example. Traditional restaurants have waiters, table settings, menus，and a certain type of service. McDonald’s, however, was different. It did away entirely with waiters and table service，and kept the menu limited. But in its number of locations，speed，overall quality and child friendliness. McDonald’s did far better than traditional restaurants. In this sense，one can say that McDonald’s was a totally different concept in eating out. It met the blue ocean demand.

专题 五 │ 专题预测 (　　)1.According to Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne，“blue ocean” means ________. A．crowded parts of business and industry with little competition B．new markets which are full of competition C．new companies offering different services from old ones D．certain untouched markets with few competitors

A．offering something other websites don’t have B．offering the best information and services C．creating a new market to help the website stand out D．looking for a unique position in the marketplace

专题 五 │ 专题预测 【文章大意】 本文介绍了由两位教授创造的名词blue ocean——那些较为冷门的、与众不同的、竞争者不多的生意或产业。 1．D　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话对blue ocean的解释(a relatively untouched area)以及第二段第一句话对blue ocean的解释(less crowded parts of business and industry with little or no competition)可知答案。

专题 五 │ 专题预测 2．C　推理判断题。结合第二段对blue ocean和red ocean的比较可知，red ocean是指竞争比较激烈，人满为患，已经饱和，产品和服务雷同的产业，由此可知C项与saturated意思最接近。 3．B　推理判断题。根据第四、五段中对麦当劳的描述可知，它与传统的餐馆有很大的不同，即很独特，因此很成功。另外，根据文中最后一句话(It met the blue ocean demand)，再结合前面对blue ocean的解释可知它的竞争者很少。由此可知B项正确。 4．C　推理判断题。根据文章中对blue ocean的解释特别是第三段第一、二句话可知C项正确。即通过开创一个新的市场使该网站胜出。

专题 六 │ 真题再现 真题再现 [2010·重庆] Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn’t forget that Charles Darwin (1809—1882) arrived here in 1835.He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin’s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.

专题 六 │ 真题再现 The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be.

专题 六 │ 真题再现 The most well­known animals of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型陆龟), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Sanra Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago(群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.

专题 六 │ 真题再现 Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.

专题 六 │ 真题再现 Traveling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin，you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world.At night you will sleep on board the ship，leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands，which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 专题预测 (一) Kiribati covers a massive 3.5 million square kilometers stretch of the Pacific Ocean, but in population terms it is one of the smallest countries in the world, with only 100,000 people. More than half of them live in the capital Tarawa—strip of coral which measures just 450 meters at its widest point. As well as being narrow, Kiribati is extremely low lying, which makes it one of the most easily influenced countries in the world when it comes to climate change.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 “We are counting the days rather than the decades…We don’t have the time that we thought we had previously，” Kiribati President Anote Tong said. Pelenise Alofa returned to Kiribati six years ago. The changes she saw led to her becoming one of the islands principal climate change campaigners. “Things began to change when I came here. I realized the king tides were big, and I told them ‘have you heard of climate change, have you heard of global warming, this is part of it, you’re in it，’” Ms Alofa told SBS.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 Linda Uan and her New Zealand born husband John have been documenting the changing climate in Kiribati for nearly 20 years. They didn’t have to travel far to film the effects of a storm three years ago when the first time it washed through their home. “There’s been a lot of changes，” Linda said, “When we were little there was a definite dry season and a definite wet season, now you can’t feel the difference anymore.”

专题 六 │ 专题预测 Kiribati is not just facing one knock­out punch but a whole round of killer blows. Because of its sensibility to the El Nino and La Nina weather patterns, climate scientists say droughts and floods will be more severe than in the past. Warmer seas could affect the migration patterns of fish, taking away vast taxes it gains from selling fishing licenses to foreign trawlers, while increased storms are expected to destroy crops and make the limited supply of water in the shallow water pools undrinkable.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 It’s a claim the country will take to Copenhagen as it seeks to get the world’s big emitters (排放者) to face up to the consequences of their actions. “It’s a whole world issue，” President Tong said. “It’s a moral issue…it’s almost criminal.”

专题 六 │ 专题预测 ( )1.According to the passage, we can infer that________. A．Kiribati covers a land area of 3,500,000 km2 B．the country’s average altitude is 450 meters in Kiribati C．Kiribati is one of the countries facing the climate change calmly D．Over fifty thousand people live in Tarawa

专题 六 │ 专题预测 (　　)2.President Anote’s words are quoted in order to show________. A．the high pressure from time B．the importance of measuring time C．the different timing units D．the personal attitude towards time

专题 六 │ 专题预测 (　　)3.Which of the following statements does Ms Alofa probably agree with? A．The tides hitting Kiribati used to be bigger than they are now. B．Most people in the world have never heard of global warming. C．Nobody can keep away from the effects caused by climate changes. D．Changes in this country will make you a climate change campaigner.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 (　　)4.Climate changes have brought about the consequences EXCEPT________. A．severe droughts and floods B．abundant fresh water C．fiercer storm and tide D．changed living patterns of fish

专题 六 │ 专题预测 【文章大意】 基里巴斯是太平洋上的一个岛国，由于地势极低，这个国家对气候变化最敏感，全球性气候变暖直接威胁到这个国家。人们将在哥本哈根国际减排会议上呼吁那些排放大国面对他们的行为带来的后果。 1．D　细节理解题。从文章开头可知A项错，这是基里巴斯包括海洋在内的面积；它的首都最宽的地方为450米，B项错误；从文章的叙述判断C项不对，因为该国的人们对环境变化带来的生存危机很担忧。第一段说该国的人口只有十万，其中大半住在首都，由此判断D项正确。

专题 六 │ 专题预测 2．A　推理判断题。第二段中该国总统说，我们是以“天”而不是以“十年”为计算单位(而生活)，我们没有原先以为的那么长的时间。从语境看，这些话反映出总统的忧患意识。 3．C　推理判断题。在第三段Alofa对周围的人说，“……你听说过全球性气候变暖吗？这就是其中一部分，你就身居其中。”显然其含义是C，谁也逃不掉气候变化带来的影响。 4．B　细节理解题。关于气候变化带来的影响，第五段提到旱灾、洪灾和鱼的生活方式的改变，第三、四段提到潮汐与风暴，没有提到B(充足的淡水)。

专题 六 │ 专题预测 (二) In Yemen, you always see one type of vehicle on the road: the water truck. They travel mountain roads and cross deserts to bring Yemenis a good more valuable than oil. It is one that only the rich can afford, with the supply regularly being cut off. Others must rely on scarce rain or charity to fight thirst.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. The capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025, says a report by the World Bank. Hannan, an 18­year­old from Lahej, said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply. “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week but then the following week there will be water only for a day or two，” she said.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 She and her husband, a factory worker, pay 3,000 riyals (99 yuan) for a week’s supply of water from a touring water truck when the taps run dry. With an income of only 20,000 riyals (660 yuan) a month, this means the family often spend half their money on water. “There are a lot of people who can’t afford it and they have to rely on their neighbors to help，” she said.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 The average person in Yemen survives on one­fifth of what the World Health Organization considers to be enough water. In Taiz, in the south, tap water is available only once every 45 days. In the mountainous Malhan district in the north, women and children climb a 1,500­m mountain to collect water from a spring, often in the small hours to avoid long queues.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 Yemen is located in Southwest Asia, bordering the Arabian and Red seas. Yemeni people have lived on scarce water supplies for thousands of years but that problem has been made serious by conflict in the area, the fast­growing population and the use of water to grow a drug called qat. With one of the world’s highest rates of population growth — 3.46 percent, Yemen is the poorest Arab country.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 The government is considering desalinating (淡化) seawater, but this would be expensive and it may now be too late. The only other solution is to cut down on farming, but that means importing even more food.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 ( )1.The passage aims to ________. A．analyze the reasons why Yemen lacks water B．suggest some solutions for the water issue in Yemen C．present how serious the water problem is in Yemen D．encourage the world to help Yemenis who are suffering from water shortage

专题 六 │ 专题预测 (　　)2.When Hannan said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply, she meant that ________. A．rich people drank more water than the poor B．rich people could buy water from the water trucks if there was a water supply cut C．she had a rich neighbor who often helped her during water supply cut D．the rich were not affected by water supply cut

专题 六 │ 专题预测 (　　)3.Which of the following may be a reason why Yemen is short of water? A．The country has had no rain for a long time. B．The population of Yemen is growing fast. C．The government has failed to reduce farming. D．People can’t afford the water from government water trucks.

专题 六 │ 专题预测 2．B　细节理解题。第一段说只有富人才能买得起水，第三段Hannan说，只有富人能为水供应减少做好准备，即，假如减少了饮用水的供应，富人能花钱买水用，而穷人则只能依靠降雨或慈善机构的施舍。 3．B　细节理解题。从倒数第二段可知，也门的饮用水短缺是长期存在的问题，而这个国家人口的快速增长使这个问题更突出。

专题 六 │ 专题预测 4．D　主旨大意题。从所给四个选项看，A项“不要以为水是理所当然的”与本文的核心话题无关，B“水车，也门街头最常见的风景”只是也门缺水的结果，只是文章内容的一部分，C“世界上第一个用完水的国家”不全面，而D项“也门没有水”最能形象地表达全文的内容。

If we want e­mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.

专题 七 │ 真题再现 If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e­mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual(个人的) e­mail boxes are often flooded with spam e­mails. Would people continue to use e­mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?

专题 七 │ 真题再现 This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e­mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e­mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate

专题 七 │ 真题再现 effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.

专题 七 │ 真题再现 For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E­mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience. (　　)1.What does the underlined word “correspondence” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Messages.　　　　　B．Ideas. C．Connections. D．Programs.

专题 七 │ 专题预测 专题预测 (一) I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town center but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, “You mean fortunately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.

专题 七 │ 专题预测 My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally as I went my way up the incline I console myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smug smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.

专题 七 │ 专题预测 Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a University degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”

专题 七 │ 专题预测 One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents, afflictions and difficulties. Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own. Whilst we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.

专题 七 │ 专题预测 Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs amputated following a flying accident. He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans. He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or

专题 七 │ 专题预测 that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”

专题 七 │ 专题预测 The biographies of great people are littered with examples of how they took these kinds of steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become defeatist or depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won.

专题 七 │ 专题预测 (　　)1.The writer has a smug smile of satisfaction as he reaches the top of the hill because________. A．he was actually killing two birds with a stone B．compared with those silly people, he was smarter C．he lost weight by cycling to the town center every day D．he was informed of a short route from his house to the town

专题 七 │ 专题预测 【文章大意】 这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者骑自行车到市中心要经过一段山路，作者对此颇有微词，但友人的一番话使他改变了对此的态度，并由此对人生的逆境有了新的感悟。 1．A　推理判断题。从第二段的叙述看，作者改变了对这段山路的态度，因为这段山路锻炼了他的心和肺，文中的heart暗示锻炼了他的意志，而lungs只对身体的锻炼，因此可谓一石二鸟，起到了双重作用。

专题 七 │ 专题预测 2．A　推理判断题。第三段开头说，问题是要去面对并克服的。如果总是过着悠闲的日子，我们就不能获得任何成就。然后作者以海伦·凯勒为例子阐述了这个观点。 3．C　推理判断题。从文章对他的叙述可知，他在1931年的一次飞行事故中失去了双腿，但靠着顽强的毅力，他重上蓝天，获得了22次对德国空战的胜利。从他的行动以及他的话判断，他是一个有毅力的勇敢的人。

专题 七 │ 专题预测 4．D　篇章结构题。从文章的篇章结构看，最后一段作者根据前面的叙述下结论：伟人的传记都有不少这样的例子，面对厄运，他们没有被打败，而是积极面对，迎接挑战并且战胜了困难。

专题 七 │ 专题预测 (二) Being a good parent is harder now than it has ever been before. In pressurized modern lives, demands to be a fulfilled individual, a good partner and a good worker, take no account of being a good parent. We haven’t left space for the nurturing parents who are expected to provide what children need. As a result, many families in the western world just don’t work.

专题 七 │ 专题预测 Something will have to change. With luck, people in the future will only have children if they really want them. That should mean parenthood is seen as a much more positive promise than it is now, that parents are socially supported, and are admired for doing a good job.

专题 七 │ 专题预测 The problem is that in the last generation or so we’ve come to assume that women should want and be able to do everything that by tradition men have done at the same time as pretty well everything that by tradition women have done. And it’s just not possible. Since adopting a male life style is demonstrably only another form of submission(顺从), quite a number of highly educated and economically privileged(优越的)women are now choosing to take career breaks so as to be at home with their children for longer than that poor 18 weeks.

专题 七 │ 专题预测 The most welcoming trend in parenting is that men are participating more and more, even that is not free of conflict, however. Intellectually(理智上), women want men to be equal parents and do their share. But there’s often a contradictory(矛盾的)emotion because children are the last fort of the female power in the family. “I want him to help me but this is my region and being better at it is one of the new things I’ve got as a female.” In truth,

专题 七 │ 专题预测 although they haven’t had generations of practice, there’s no reason why men can’t raise children as well as women. Men left to cope after bereavement or divorce, as well as some who take on the role of principal career within a partnership, are already doing it.

专题 七 │ 专题预测 ( )1.Why is it more difficult today to be good parents? A．Because parents don’t want to face the pressure of rearing children. B．Because children are independent and don’t need to be taken care of. C．Because husbands and wives have little time to talk to each other. D．Because people want to fulfill their own dreams, leaving no time to look after children.

专题 七 │ 专题预测 ( )2.We can learn from the passage that ________. A．people in future will not be as interested in children as people at present B．parenthood will be considered as a positive commitment as it is now C．women do better in rearing children than men D．parents will receive admiration for taking good care of children

专题 七 │ 专题预测 (　　)3.Nowadays, a lot of highly educated and economically privileged women________. A．tend to stay at home for more than 18 weeks B．tend to adopt a male life style C．tend to quit their jobs and stay at home D．tend to be submissive wives

专题 七 │ 专题预测 ( )4.It seems that in parenting, women ________. A．are contradictory in their thoughts B．demand equality between sexes C．tend to leave children to their husbands D．often quarrel with their husbands

专题 七 │ 专题预测 (　　)5.The underlined word “bereavement” in the para 4 probably means ________. A．departure of his wife B．death of his wife C．return of his wife D．annoyance of his wife

专题 七 │ 专题预测 【文章大意】 本文讲述了为人父母的问题，当今社会为人父母越来越不容易，现在社会人们对做父母有何种倾向呢？ 1．D　细节理解题。根据文章第一段，作者提到了“压力重重的现代社会”、“做个实现自己抱负的人”和“我们没有为父母留下教育孩子的空间”，这些都解释了为什么现在做个好父母比以往任何时候都要艰难。

专题 七 │ 专题预测 2．D　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“…that parents are socially supported, and are admired for doing a good job.”，可知答案为D。第二段第二句“With luck, people in the future will only have children if they really want them.”，但不能由此推出A；B与本段第三句“That should mean parenthood is seen as a much more positive promise…”不符；由最后一段倒数第二句“In truth, although they haven’t had generations of practice，…”可看出C错。

专题 七 │ 专题预测 3．A　细节理解题。第三段第三句“事实上，由于选择男性的生存方式可以说是另一形式的男尊女卑，许多受过高等教育以及经济地位优越的妇女都情愿有一段职业间隙，这样和孩子一起呆的时间就能长一点，而不仅是那可怜的18周产假。”B和原文“由于选择男性的生存方式可以说是另……”相反；C错在quit上，注意文中breaks(间歇)的意思。职业女性正是不愿意男尊女卑才情愿在家呆段时间，所以D也错。

专题 七 │ 专题预测 4．A　推理判断题。根据第四段 “Intellectually(理智上), women want men to be equal parents and do their share. But there’s often a contradictory(矛盾的)emotion…”可看出答案。B只是原文的部分内容；C、D文中未提及。 5．B　词义猜测题。最后一段最后一句提到两种需要男人独立承担照顾孩子的情况，一是离婚，那么根据常识另一种应该是丧偶。

专题 八 │ 真题再现 真题再现 [2010·山东] Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

专题 八 │ 真题再现 “To provide enough power，we need certain methods with high energy density (密度)，”said Jae Kwon，assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.” Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery，presently the size and thickness of a penny，intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS)．Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns，Kwon said they are safe.

专题 八 │ 真题再现 “People hear the word ‘nuclear’and think of something very dangerous，”he said. “However，nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices，such as pace­makers，space satellites and underwater systems.” His new idea is not only in the battery’s size，but also in its semiconductor(半导体)．Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

专题 八 │ 真题再现 “The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy，part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶格结构) of the solid semiconductor，”Kwon said.“By using a liquid semiconductor，we believe we can minimize that problem.”

专题 八 │ 真题再现 Together with J. David Robertson，chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor，Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future，they hope to increase the battery’s power，shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

专题 八 │ 真题再现 ( )1.Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon? A．He teaches chemistry at MU. B．He developed a chemical battery. C．He is working on a nuclear energy source. D．He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

专题 八 │ 真题再现 ( )2.Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 ________. A．to show chemical batteries are widely applied B．to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used C．to describe a nuclear­powered system D．to introduce various energy sources

专题 八 │ 真题再现 ( )3.Liquid semiconductor is used to________. A．get rid of the radioactive waste B．test the power of nuclear batteries C．decrease the size of nuclear batteries D．reduce the damage to lattice structure

专题 八 │ 真题再现 ( )4.According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery________. A．uses a solid semiconductor B．will soon replace the present ones C．could be extremely thin D．has passed the final test

专题 八 │ 专题预测 专题预测 (一) It’s hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world — it affects where we choose to live, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national features. A sunny day can lessen the deepest sadness, while very bad weather can destroy homes and threaten lives.

专题 八 │ 专题预测 The human race has always tried to guess the weather, especially in areas of the world where there are many changes. Two popular traditional ways of predicting weather use pine cones (松果) and seaweed. When the air has a high level of humidity (湿度) there is a higher chance of rain. When the humidity is low, there is more chance of fine weather. Pine cones and seaweed react to changes in humidity—pine cones open and seaweed feels dry when the humidity is low, while high humidity has the opposite effect.

专题 八 │ 专题预测 Today’s methods of prediction increasingly depend on technology. Satellites, balloons, ships, aircraft and weather centers with monitoring equipment, send data to computers. The data is then processed, and the weather is predicted. However, even this system cannot predict weather for longer than about a week.

专题 八 │ 专题预测 A recent study by an Australian scientist suggests that certain people may have a special gift for predicting weather. However, it is possible that these people could use their talent in another way, since the same group had a lot of success in predicting changes in another system—the stock market (股市)．

专题 八 │ 专题预测 It appears that a study of weather may also enable scientists to predict the sudden start of a disease. An Ebola epidemic (a kind of disease) in Uganda in the year 2000 came after the same rare weather conditions that had been present before a sudden spread of the disease 6 years earlier. Efforts to limit the spread of airborne diseases such as foot and mouth are also strongly dependent on favorable wind conditions.

专题 八 │ 专题预测 ( )1.Paragraph 1 is written mainly to tell us________. A．why weather is many people’s favorite topic B．the relationship between weather and moods C．different weather conditions around the world D．the effect of very bad weather

专题 八 │ 专题预测 ( )2.We can conclude from the passage that ________. A．many people don’t think weather has anything to do with moods B．it is easier to predict good weather than bad weather C．measuring humidity is a new technique to predict weather changes D．when pine cones close, it means that it’s likely to rain

专题 八 │ 专题预测 (　　)3.Which of the following is a traditional way of predicting weather? A．Using satellites and balloons. B．Using seaweed. C．Using ships and aircraft. D．Using monitoring equipment.

专题 八 │ 专题预测 ( )4.It is implied in the passage that________. A．some diseases can be deadly in bad weather B．the Ebola epidemic happened more than twice in Uganda C．it’s possible to predict the outbreak of some diseases by studying the weather D．the Ebola epidemic won’t spread again with the development of science

专题 八 │ 专题预测 【文章大意】 天气对人类的影响巨大，它是人们最喜欢的一个话题。随着科技的发展，人类能够越来越准确地预测天气。 1．A　作者意图题。第一段第一句为本段的主题句，下文用来解释天气是人们最喜欢的话题的原因，故答案为A。 2．D　推理判断题。根据第二段When the air has a high level of humidity(湿度)…和…pine cones open and seaweed feels dry when the humidity is low…可推断，松果关闭时，空气湿度高，可能会下雨，故答案为D。

专题 八 │ 专题预测 3．B　细节理解题。根据第三段Today’s methods of prediction increasingly depend on technology…可知，A、C、D三项均为现在预测天气的科技设备；根据第二段内容可知，观察seaweed属于传统的预测天气的方法，故答案为B。 4．C　推理判断题。根据末段It appears that a study of weather may also enable scientists to predict the sudden start of a disease.可推断，答案为C。

专题 八 │ 专题预测 (二) “Get your hands off me, I have been stolen，” the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken. The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.

专题 八 │ 专题预测 Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version(版本)of the software, users can also send a spoken message. “The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. One customer sent a message saying, ‘You are being tracked. I am right at your door’，” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.

专题 八 │ 专题预测 In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop’s speakers will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.” The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs. Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.

专题 八 │ 专题预测 If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location. Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out has been rising sharply. Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.

专题 八 │ 专题预测 ( )1.The expression “to_give_the_thief _a_piece_of_their_mind” can be understood as “________”． A．to give the thief an alert mind B．to express the owners’ anger to the thief C．to remind the thief of this conscience D．to make the thief give up his mind

专题 八 │ 专题预测 (　　)2.Different from other security software, Retriever can________. A．record the stealing process B．help recognize the lost laptop C．lock down the computer remotely D．send a spoken message

专题 八 │ 专题预测 (　　)3.One function of the program is that it allows the owner to ________ at a distance. A．change some access details for switching on the laptop B．turn on the laptop by using the original password C．operate the laptop by means of an alternative password D．erase the information kept in the stolen laptop

专题 八 │ 专题预测 (　　)4.Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage? A．With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year. B．A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft. C．Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers. D．A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.

专题 八 │ 专题预测 【文章大意】 介绍了一种新开发的程序，可以用来追踪自己丢失的笔记本电脑，而且介绍了程序的使用方法。 1．B　句意理解题。抓住短语中的their(their指的是电脑被偷的人)，再结合文中前面的描述我们可以断定该短语的意思是to express the owners’ anger to the thief。 2．D　细节理解题。由第三段最后一句：Under the latest version(版本)of the software, users can also send a spoken message.可知。

专题 八 │ 专题预测 3．A　推理判断题。第六段第二句话：Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.告诉我们失主可以远程改变一些登陆电脑的信息，如密码等。 4．B　主旨大意题。文章主要给读者介绍了一种新型的程序，改程序可以降低电脑的失窃率。同时还介绍了该程序的工作原理。
