2、事理进行客观说明的一种文体，它以说明为主要表达方式，通过解说事物或阐明事理，达到教人以知识的目的，在结构上往往采用总分(总)、递进等方式按一定的顺序(如时间、空间、从现象到本质)进行说明。说明文的特点是客观、简练、语言准确、明了，文章很少表达作者的感情倾向。阅读说明文的重点在于读懂它说明的事物或事理，了解事物的性质、构造、成因、功能等，了解事理的含意、特点等。最近五年高考题中，说明文考查很多，变化不大，一直很稳定，选材通常是各学科的前沿问题、高科技领域的科研成果、人们比较关心的社会问题、人文方面的经典。所谓科技说明文，就是指研究自然科学与技术的文章。由于阅读理解题的设置采用渐进式，即由易到难的
3、方式，因此说明文是高考试卷中阅读理解题中相对比较难的，通常放在C或D篇。阅读理解试题的考点之一是考查学生对词汇和句式的掌握，而说明文的词汇和句式的运用较别的体裁的文章难度更大。词汇运用灵活，同一词的不同词性的用法交替出现，未列入考纲的生词较多，通常达到了4-5%。不过考生可以通过说明文的语言特点来帮助理解语篇，例如，同位语、下定义、解释、举例、同义词、反义词、上下义词以及标点符号(如破折号、冒号都有表示解释和说明)等。题型归纳题型01 细节理解题【题型诠释】说明文中考查的细节理解题大致与记叙文相似。命题区域都有其共同点：在列举处命题，如用first(ly), second(ly), third
4、(ly), finally, notonly, butalso, then, inaddition等表示顺承关系的词语列举出事实。试题要求考生从列举出的内容中选出符合题干要求的答案项。在例证处命题，句中常用由as, suchas, forexample, forinstance等引导的短语或句子作为例证，这些例句或比喻就成为命题者设问的焦点。在转折对比处命题，一般通过however, but, yet, infact等词语来引导。对比用unlike, until, notsomuchas等词语引导，命题者常对用来对比的双方属性进行考查。在比较处命题，无端的比较、相反的比较、偷换对象的比较，经常
5、出现在干扰项中，考生要标记并且关注到原文中的比较，才能顺利地排除干扰。在复杂句中命题，包括同位词、插入语、定语、从句、不定式等，命题者主要考查考生对句子之间的指代关系和语法关系。做这类题目时，一般都能在原文中找到出处，只要仔细就可以在文中找到答案。但正确的选择项不可能与阅读材料的原文完全相同，而是用不同的语句成句型表达相同的意思。【典例1】(2023上山东高三山东省实验中学校考阶段练习)Animal appear to predict earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air the first study to find reliable e
6、vidence of the phenomenon has shown.Cameras revealed an “amazing” drop in the number of animals up to 23 days before a major quake hit their rainforest home at Yanachaga National Park in Peru. Lead scientist Dr Rachel Grant, from Anglia Ruskin University, said, “The results showed that just before t
7、he earthquake, animals activity dropped right down.”On a normal day the cameras placed around Yanachaga National Park record between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days before the earthquake, the number of animals dropped to five or fewer per day. No animals were photographed at all on five of the
8、seven days immediately before the quake.Another study showed that animal activity remained normal in the park over a different period when seismic (地震的) activity was low. Co-author, professor Friedemann Freund, said, “The cameras were located at an altitude of 900 meters. If air ionization occurred,
9、 the animals would escape to the valley below, where there were fewer positive ions (离子). With their ability to sense their environment, animals can help us understand small changes that occur before major earthquakes.”Other evidence suggested that before the earthquake, the air around the high moun

Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. They are
11、 thought to have escaped to lower ground, where the air was less ionized. The findings may help experts develop better short-term seismic forecasts.16. How did scientists conduct the study?A. By comparing different animals habits.B. By observing animals in high mountains.C. By explaining the positiv
12、e ion phenomenon.D. By analyzing images of animals they obtained.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“On a normal day the cameras placed around Yanachaga National Park record between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days before the earthquake, the number of animals dropped to five or fewer per day. No animals were
13、 photographed at all on five of the seven days immediately before the quake. (在平常的一天，放置在Yanachaga国家公园周围的摄像机记录了5到15只动物。但在地震前的23天，动物的数量下降到每天5只或更少。在地震前的七天中，有五天根本没有拍摄到任何动物)”可知，在地震前后摄像机捕捉到的动物的图像的数量是有所变化的。由此可知，科学家通过分析他们获得的动物图像进行这项研究的。故选D。题型02 语意猜测题【题型诠释】说明文为了把自然规律，事物的性质等介绍清楚或把事理阐述明白，因此学术性强的生词较多，所以常进行生词词义判
14、断题的考查。命题方式多以theunderlined partinparagraphrefersto 或what does the underlinedwordmean?或whatisthemeaningoftheunderlinedword?为设问方式。说明文在阐述说明对象时易发生动作变换、人称转变的现象，这类题目常以it，they，them等代词为命题点，因此考生要根据上下文语境，认真阅读原文，分析动作转换背景，弄清动作不同执行者，以便准确判断代词的其实际指代对象。解这类题型时，考生应认真阅读原文，分析其对某些科学原理是如何定义、如何解释的，并以此为突破口抽象概括出生词词义。也可以通过上下文
15、来猜测某个陌生词语的语意。或者找出某个词语在文章中的同义词。要注意破折号、同位语从句、定语从句、插入语等具有解释、说明作用的语言成分。【典例2】(2023上广东广州高三华南师大附中校考阶段练习)Anyone can be late a handful of times, but to be the person who is always latethats an art, a frustrating art.

A 2023 study found that out of 181subway operators in New York City, those who preferred multitasking were more often late for their job. This is because multitasking makes it harder to have the awareness

While highly nervous, achievement-oriented Type A individuals arc more possible to be punctual, Type B individuals, however, who are calmer and more relaxed, have a higher chance to be late.Admittedly
20、, knowing all of this doesnt necessarily help fix the problem. But scientists are starting to work on strategies that can slowly improve our punctuality. For people who constantly underestimate tasks, breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take
21、 more accurately. As for your personality type, unfortunately, there isnt much you can do to change that. But accepting that you need to struggle for it may just help. Acceptance, after all, is the first step to change.27. What does the underlined word “fallacy” mean in paragrqph3?A. A reasonable ar
22、gument.B. A mistaken belief.C. A modest expectation.D. A realistic idea.【答案】B【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段中“One of the commonest reasons why people are frequently late is that-they fail to accurately judge how long a task will take”（人们经常迟到的一个最常见的原因是他们不能准确地判断一项任务需要多长时间）以及“Research has shown that people on average
23、underestimate the tune to complete a task by a significant 40 percent.”（研究表明，人们平均低估了完成一项任务所需时间的40%。）由此可知，此处为这就是所谓的计划谬误。故可猜测划线单词fallacy为“谬论”的意思，结合选项B项A mistaken belief“错误的信念”意思一致。故选B项。题型03 主旨大意题【题型诠释】说明文常用文章大意判断题考查考生对通篇文意的理解。即对文章的主题或中心意思的概括和归纳。主要考查考生对文章的整体理解能力。命题形式常以Thispassagemainlytalksabout_. What
24、isthemain idea of the passage?为设问方式。这种试题多以Thispassagemainlytalksabout答题时首先阅读题干，掌握问题的类型，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。【典例3】(2023上广东汕头高三金山中学校考阶段练习)Whenever you read text, your brain processes the visual stimuli (刺激物) to create meaning and understan

Using font styles like bold or italics to indicate significance can also improve memory. Thats because people are better able to
31、 remember information they consider important, says Oppenheimer. Researchers found that bolded text has a higher recall than text in italic or regular styles, regardless of the font size. However, if an entire document is bolded, the emphasis is lost, and readers can no longer spot vital passages.26
32、. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. What Fonts Make Reading EasyB. What Fonts Make Memory LastingC. Why Fonts Impact Retention and RecallD. How Fonts Affect Learning and Memory【答案】D【答案】主旨大意题。根据第二段中“ Beyond the visual aspect, research shows that fonts play a significant role in
33、 the mental processes of understanding that happen while we read. A fonts impact on the way you learn and memorize information might be hard to notice consciously, but your brain is certainly tuned in.(除了视觉方面，研究表明，字体在我们阅读时的心理理解过程中起着重要作用。字体对你学习和记忆信息的影响可能很难有意识地注意到，但你的大脑肯定会注意到。)”以及通读全文，文章主要讲述的是字体选择在阅读理
34、解、记忆和信息提取过程中的重要性以及产生的影响。D选项“How Fonts Affect Learning and Memory(字体如何影响学习和记忆)”概括全文，符合文章标题。故选D。题型04 判断推理题【题型诠释】这种题型的答案在原文中不是直接就能找到的，它要求考生进行合理的推断。如因果关系，文中的某些用词、语气也往往具有隐含意义，考生要将这种含义读出来。说明文常出现图示判断题，这种试题可以事物之间正确的依赖关系为命题点，要求考生判断其正确的流程顺序相互关系等。考生一定要认真阅读原文，并对照原文介绍的情况，弄清图示的差异，根据题干需要最终做出正确判断。如：动物介绍性说明文常出现动物能力判
35、断题，考查考生对特定动物所具有能力的判断。解题时考生应认真阅读原文对动物形态活动能力的判断，了解动物的生存环境和是否会使用工具，是否善于爬行、飞翔和游泳等。观点态度题也是判断推理题考查的内容之一。说明文的对象为客观事实，但设题以议论的表达方式抒发对该说明对象的想法。如对某种新发明的赞赏、或对某个事物的批判。这类题目常见的设问方式有：1. Whatwas the authors attitude towards.?2. The passage is intended to . 3. The author suggests that . 4. The story implies that 5. W
36、hich point of view may the author agree to? 6. From the passage we can conclude that. 7. The purpose of the passage is to.。解决这类题型时，应该根据不同的推理判断方法解题。学生要在阅读理解整体语篇的基础上，把握文章的真正内涵。答案不可能在文章中直接找到，而且推理时我们务必要忠于原文，在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据，准确理解文中的已知部分，切忌过度推测或无理由推测，要结合语境和常识推论出未知部分，把握作者的言外之意。【典例4】(2023上湖北高三华中师大一附中校考期中)Wit

59、er which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those
60、 errors arent always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors wont cancel
61、 each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that peoples estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, peoples errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on
62、 this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtaine
63、d from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion.
64、Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates? Did they follow those least willing to change their minds? This happened some of the time, but it wasnt the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together.” Somehow, these
65、arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.12.

98、SituationsD(2023山东济宁济宁一中统考三模) Thousands of years have passed since humans discovered silk, but scientists are still finding new uses for this remarkable material. Now researchers say it could help tackle a growing environmental and health concern: Micro-plastics.Micro-plastics that are now found wor
99、ldwide are increasingly recognized as a serious pollution threat, and have been found in the bloodstream of animals and people. Some of these micro plastics are intentionally added to a variety of products to generally protect some specific active components from being degraded by exposure to air. F
100、or example, vitamins are often delivered in the form of micro capsules packed into a pill or capsule,and herbicides (除草剂) are similarly enveloped. But the materials used today for such micro-encapsulation are plastics that stay in the environment for a long time. To date, there has been no practical
101、, economical alternative available that would biodegrade naturally.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and chemical company BASF developed a silk-based biodegradable alternative to these capsules. Silk is recognized as safe for food or medical use, as it degrades naturally in th
102、e body. The silk protein used in the new alternative material is widely available and inexpensive and the silk fibers can simply be dissolved (溶解), lead researcher Benedetto Marelli says. Besides, the processing is so simple and tun-able that the resulting material can be adapted to work on existing
103、 manufacturing equipment.Replacing non-biodegradable micro-capsules with silk might not work in every case,but given the current and future challenges related to food insecurity, agricultural production, and a changing climate, the silk-based material is of great importance. Products using silk-base
104、d micro-capsules are expected to be commercially available in a few years. And the researchers will next try encapsulating active components that could require a different manufacturing approach, such as those that must remain in liquid or gas forms.12. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A. Remov
105、ing plastic pollution is a piece of cake.B. Micro-plastics can degrade quickly and naturally.C. Micro-plastics have become a severe pollution threat.D. Developing an alternative for micro-plastics is urgent.13. Whats the major concern of researchers choosing silk as an alternative?A. It is economica
106、l.B. It is biodegradable.C. It is widely available.D. It is skin-friendly.14. Whats the last paragraph mainly about concerning the silk-based material?A. Its promising future.B. Its marketing method.C. Its existing limitations.D. Its making approach.15. In which part of a magazine can the passage probably be found?A. Climate.B. Agriculture.C. Technology Advances.D.
