1、译林版（2020）高一英语上学期期中复习 查缺补漏冲刺满分(名校最新期中真题)专题05 阅读理解15篇1 先看问题，再读文章做阅读理解是先看问题，还是先看文章，这是很多同学经常问的问题。我觉得这两种方法各有利弊，应视具体情况而定。就阅读广告而言，还是先看问题比较好，因为广告类的试题绝大部分是寻找信息的题目，大可不必从头读到尾，带着问题有针对性地去跳读、略读，这样就可以节约不少时间。2 抓住广告的标题如果广告有标题，大标题下又有小标题，那么，快速寻找原文信息时，这些标题就成了很重要的线索，可以帮助我们快速准确地找到答案。有些题目考查的就是对广告标题的理解。3 逐项比较，得出最佳做阅读理解题，切不
2、可凭主观印象，想当然地确定答案。任何一道题目，均可以在原文中找到相关线索，这就如同破译密码一样。做题人的思维过程和编题人的思维过程恰好相反，编题人先找好线索，然后设计问题和选项，解题人根据问题，再去文中找相关线索。因此，我们做题时要逐项比较，排除错误选项，得出最佳答案。4.吃透文章文章大意和中心思想任何一篇文章都会有一个主旨和中心。有时从文章的第一个段落，甚至第一个句子即可得出文章的主旨大意，从这一段或这个句子，我们就会知道文章描述的是什么（即文章的主题），也会了解作者希望读者了解主题方面的哪些内容。有时，文章的主旨要义则需从文章的字里行间去浓缩去推断。这类试题主要考查考生略读文章、领会驾驭大
3、意的能力，它对考生的归纳、概括能力有一定的要求。5.理解文中具体信息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。命题人员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。这类试题有时比较直接，理解字面意思即可答题；有时则较为间接，需要归纳、概括和推理才能答题。6.根据上下文语境，准确推断生词的词义正确理解文章中单词或短语的含义是理解文章的第一步，也是理解文章的基础，不懂单词含义根本就谈不上理解文章。但英语单词的含义并非完全等同于词典中所标注的汉语意思，其含义随不同的语境会有所不同。能
4、根据上下文正确理解灵活变化的词义，才算是真正初步具备了一定的阅读理解能力。此外，阅读文章时，常常会遇到一些过去未见过的词，但许多这类生词的词义可以通过上下文推断出来。这种不使用词典而通过阅读上下文来推断生词含义的能力，是一个合格的读者所必须具备的能力，因此也是阅读测试中经常检测的一种能力。7.作出简单判断和推理阅读文章的主要目的是获取信息，即作者所要传达的信息。在实际的阅读活动中，有时需要根据文章提供的事实和线索，进行逻辑推理，推测作者未提到的事实或某事发生的可能性等。8.准确把握作者的意图、观点和态度每篇文章都有一个特定的写作目的，或是向读者传递某个信息，或是愉悦读者，或是讲授某个道理。而这
5、些信息通常并不是明确表达出来，而是隐含在文章之中。因此，这类问题要求考生在理解文章总体内容的基础上，去领会作者的言外之意。”对英语阅读能力的考查是英语高考的重中之重，除阅读理解题外，其他各种题型从单项填空到书面表达尤其是完形填空和短文该错都与我们的英语阅读能力有密切的关系。难怪有的教师在分析高考英语试卷时得出这样的结论“得阅读者得天下”。（2022江苏苏州高一期中）The Curb-cut Effect (路缘坡效应) refers to the fact that supporting small groups of people often ends up helping much lar

34、 ill, were sent the armys general hospital in a village on the outskirts of Frankfurt, Germany. Men lay two or more in a bed and packed together on the floor. Most of the sick had dysentery (痢疾), and everything was covered with blood, sweat, sick and waste matter. Fleas and lice existed in great num
35、bers. Dysentery soon gave way to hospital fever. Hundreds died. John Pringle, an army physician on his first campaign, observed the dying in horror. The ideas he developed for preventing diseases became one of the earliest expressions of filth theory (理论). It held, in brief, that filthy conditions p

He had earned respect lecturing at the University of Edinburgh in moral and natural philosophy, which mostly meant learning about the living world through experimentation, ob

He soon proved his worth. Pringle found that the British army lost a quarter of its strength to sickness alone during the 1743 c

In setting up campsites, quartermasters were told to avoid damp, poorly ventilated (通风不良的) areas and to dig proper toilets in advance. Pringle noticed that

Before its rise, women used percolators (渗滤式咖啡壶) to make their coffee on the stovetop or on the counter a method that produced bitter, scorched (烧焦的) coffee. Despite the availability of compl
52、ex, non-electric drip systems, percolators ruled American kitchens.They also gave American women a reputation for making terrible coffee. Part of that was based on the coffee supply itself, writes Shrum. Due to wartime shortages and poor quality, “coffee tasted bad no matter what method consumers us
53、ed.”At the time, women were householdsprimary coffeemakers, and cultural pressures such as the popularity of percolators as wedding gifts kept the task in a firmly female sphere (领域). Coffee ads described coffee-caused family issues and threatened women who made bad coffee with relationship problems
54、. This cultural pressure cooker presented the perfect opportunity for Mr. Coffee.Mr. Coffee looked and worked differently than percolators. It also made better coffee. In order to get consumers to give up their familiar percolators for this expensive new product, not only was Mr. Coffee given a masc

61、d up, knowing the experience would give me help.During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, wed better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians.
62、 We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, an

Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approachaccepting the question and lettin

176、2年级的大点的学生要比那些年龄小点的强。）可知，年龄大点的高年级学生作业多的学校表现会更好。故选D。29推理判断题。文章只是在第一段“For decades, the homework standard has been a 10-minute rule, which suggests a daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework per grade level.”（几十年来，家庭作业的标准一直都是“10分钟”原则，意思是每个年级每天最多写10分钟的家庭作业。）和第二段“But some schools have begun to give their y
177、oungest students a break.”（但是有一些学校已经开始让小年龄的学生们打破这个规则了。）阐述了一下“10分钟”原则，但是作者并没有对它表示任何的看法。故选C。30主旨大意题。本文由“10分钟”原则引入学生们的家庭作业问题，接下来告诉读者有一些小学要实施没有家庭作业的试点项目，然后阐述了专家的意见：高年级的学生们家庭作业多的在考试中表现会更好。所以，总结来说，这篇文章就是围绕家庭作业对学生们好不好来讨论的。故选A。31B32B33A34D【分析】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己和钢琴的故事。31细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But playing the piano had
