【考点】考察文化类短文阅读
【文章大意】本文主要讲述的美国的普通人总是回避死亡的话题，而美国的作家在作品里一直都在讨论这个话题。故事我们不同的美国人对于死亡的不同的态度和看法。
1. 【答案】B
【试题分析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句Much of
the American anxiety about old age is a purposeful distance from the reality of
death.可知本文主要讲述的是美国人对于死亡的态度和看法。故B正确。
2. 【答案】C
【试题分析】推理题。根据文章第一段2，3,4,5行One of
the striking qualities of the American character is the unwillingness to face
either the fact or meaning of death. On the contrary, in the novels of many
famous American writers―from Hawthorne to
Faulkner and Hemingway―one finds a tragic depth that is under the
surface thinness of the ordinary American death attitudes.可知在现实生活里美国人回避死亡，但是在文学作品里他们却与现实生活恰恰相反，愿意讨论和死亡有关的话题。故C正确。
3. 【答案】B
【试题分析】推理题。在文章第二段1,2行Out of
fear of the emotional sufferings, the American ordinary people avoid topics
about death. They surround death with word avoidance. Americans never “die”.
They “pass away.可知很多美国的普通人都回避死亡的话题，而在文章第一段里很多美国的作家都在自己的作品里谈论这个话题。故B正确。
4. 【答案】D
【试题分析】推理题。根据文章最后4行“To my
disappointment, we, American people, sing over birth and dance at weddings,”
says Margaret Mead, a famous American anthropologist (人类学家), “but
more and more push the death off the scene without ceremony, without an
opportunity for young and old to know that death is as much a fact of life as
is birth.”可知Margaret Mead认为我们要美国人要把死亡当成生活中的现实情况来接受。故D正确。
【长难句解析】
fear of the emotional sufferings, the American ordinary people avoid topics
about death.
【翻译】出于情感痛苦的恐惧，美国的普通人总是避免与死亡有关的话题。
【分析】本句中的介词短语out
of….出于…；有很多固定结构：out of ambition.出于野心；out of
curiosity出于好奇.另外本句中的动词avoid避免，后面经常要接动名词doing的形式。

（高二英语）阅读理解C
Have you ever made contact with
the creative spirit, that certain something hard to describe, but full of
good―and sometimes great―ideas　 It is more than an occasional great thought.
When we feel the moving of the creative spirit, it brings to life a style of
being: a lifetime filled with the desire to invent, to explore new ways of doing
things, and to turn dreams into reality.
That flash of inspiration is the
final moment of a process marked by unique stages―the basic steps in creative
problem-solving. The first stage is preparation, when you look for any
information that might be important. It's when you let your imagination run
But one barrier(障碍) is the inside voice of judgment that locks
up our creative spirit within the limits of what we think acceptable. It's the
voice that whispers to you, &They'll think I'm foolish,& or &That
will never work.& But we can learn to recognize this voice of judgment and
have the courage to discount its unhelpful advice.
Once you have thought about all
the relevant(相关的) pieces and pushed your mind to
the limits, you can let the problem remain and take in all you have gathered.
It's a stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness.
As the saying goes, &You sleep on it.&
We are more open to creative
thoughts from the unknowing mind when we are not really thinking of anything.
That is why daydreams are so useful in the search for creativity. Anytime you
can just daydream and relax is useful in the creative process: a shower, long
drives, a quiet walk, etc.
With luck, daydreaming will lead
to a light turning on above your head, when all of a sudden the answer will
come to you as if from nowhere. This is the popular stage―the one that usually
gets all the glory and attention, the moment that people sweat and long for,
the feeling &This is it!& But the thought alone is still not a
creative act. The final stage is translation, when you take your creative
thought and tran it becomes useful to you and others.
Paragraph 1, “the moving of the creative spirit” probably means ________.
A. preparation　　　　B. exploration　　　　 C. problem-solving　　　 D. inspiration
According to the article, what keeps us from creativity　
A. Having less information to form a good
B. Relying on others during the creative
C. Caring about other people’s opinions about
D. Thinking about too many ideas at the same
can we learn from the fifth paragraph　
A. The unknowing mind is very difficult for
us to understand.
B. Creativity arrives when we aren’t focused
on any one thing.
C. Daydreaming is useless and has nothing to
do with creativity.
D. Showers, long drives and quiet walk are
good for our bodies.
does creativity become useful to us and others　
A. When thought is turned into action.　　　　　B. When people understand our ideas.
C. When the popular stage is reached.　　　　　　D. When we think “This is it!”.
of the following would the author probably support　
A. The creative spirit means an occasional
great thought.
B. Others’ voice of judgment allows us to
ignore barriers.
C. Creative problem-solving calls for
barrier-free imagination.
D. Daydreaming is sure to bring a sudden
answer to a problem.

站长：朱建新英语阅读理解标题判断题解题答题策略
本文行家：
英语阅读理解标题判断题解题答题策略&历年高考英语阅读理解考查实践表明,标题判断题是高考英语阅读理解的必考项目, 它主要考查考生对文章主题思想的把握和抽象概括语言的能力, 解标题判断题应注意下列几点:一、熟悉标题, 提高解题的针对性标题能高度概括文章内容, 点明文章主题的文字, 往往短小精悍, 言简意赅。它既可以是单词、短语, 也可以是简短句子, 甚至可以是疑问词加不定式结构或名词加同位语结构。除有介绍功能外, 不少标题情感浓烈,可以表示鼓励、劝告、建议、批评、讽刺、赞美、表扬等感情, 教育意义强, 感染度高。高考英语阅读理解所配标题常见形式如下:1. 短语型标题Noble Companions. ( 08 北京70, 表示赞扬)A Race Against Death ( 08 湖北72, 表示介绍)All for a Nap ( 08 四川46, 表示介绍)Grandmother’s Quilt ( 08 重庆59)Harmonyin family (07 北京71, 表示介绍)Win-Cube Program ( 07 湖南59, 表示介绍)Cross-Cultural Differences ( 07 安徽75,表示介绍)Happiness through Honorable Actions( 07 广东50, 表示劝告)Toni Morrison and her novel Love ( 06山东61,表示介绍)2. 祈使句型标题:Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech ( 07 辽宁75, 表示劝告)Test Your Reading ( 05 重庆62, 表示建议)We’re Alone Together on the Internet( 07 江苏63, 表示介绍)Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time( 07山东75, 表示介绍)3. 名词性从句型标题What He Valued Most ( 08 江苏70, 表示介绍)Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon ( 08 山东66, 表示介绍)Chocolate May Cure Coughs ( 08 全国II56, 表示介绍)What T-shirts Can Teach US ( 06 全国卷II 60, 表示介绍)4. 疑问词+ 不定式型标题How to Mend a Troubled Friendship ( 06全国卷II 53, 表示介绍)5. 同位语型标题Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.( 08天津43, 表示介绍)TheSilk Road: East Meets West ( 08 陕西56, 表示介绍)Christmas: Not a Good Festival for Santas( 05 江西59, 表示介绍)二、熟悉标题配备原则, 提高解题命中率1. 标题应具备高度的概括性标题的最大特点就是要体现主题思想,因此标题必须具备高度概括性, 一看到标题, 往往要使读者知道文章主要介绍什么内容。2. 标题应具备强烈的针对性尽管标题是对文章内容的概括和总结,但也不能太过于抽象、乏化、笼统, 而失去对文章具体内容的指向性, 否则标题就不具有个性, 无论你将标题阅读多少遍也无法弄清文章到底是介绍哪一方面的具体内容。3. 标题应具备一定的醒目性标题是文章首先映入读者眼帘的内容,为打动读者的内心, 标题必须使用精彩的语言。这种语言要么情感浓烈, 真挚感人; 要么新颖时尚, 引领潮流; 要么短小精悍, 言简意赅; 要么对称和谐, 丰满匀称, 给人美感, 醒目。三、提炼主题, 解答试题提炼主题配备标题有下列三种途径:1. 由首节提炼主题配备标题因为首节往往是作者最想给读者介绍的内容, 是作者最想打动读者、震憾读者的内容, 因此往往体现了文章主旨。显然认真阅读文章首节, 领会其精神实质, 往往可以提炼出文章主题, 从而成功地给文章配备标题。例1: Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effectivemedicines, say UK researchers. ( 2008 全国卷II 阅读D篇首节)试题( 56 题) :Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Codeine: A NewMedicineB. Chocolate May Cure CoughsC. Cough Treatment: A Hard CaseD. Theobromine Can Cause Coughs分析:B。认真阅读文章首节不难发现这是文章主题句, 主要介绍巧克力中的某些成份可以用来制药止咳, 因此以Chocolate MayCure Coughs 为题准确贴切。另外该标题短小精悍, 言简意赅, 也具有一定的醒目性。例2: Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones. ( 2008 山东卷阅读B 篇首节)试题( 66 题) : Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting StudentsB. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless IndustryC. Cell Phone Alerts of National DisastersD. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon分析: D。认真阅读分析原文首节可以推断其是文章主题句, 它介绍一个利用手机短信功能发布紧急警报的系统已形成计划, 因此以Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon 为题十分妥当。2. 由末节提炼主题配备标题因为末节是作者想给读者留下最后的印象, 是作者给读者所做的最后嘱托, 因此末节常常体现文章的主题。显然认真阅读文章的末节内容, 领会作者的写作目的, 常常可以准确地获得文章主题, 顺利地给文章配备标题。例如:Theshops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding ( 资助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.( 2008 天津卷阅读B 篇末节)试题( 43 题) : Which of the followin& may be the best title for the passage?A. What to Buy at Charity Shops.B. CharityShop: ItsOrigin&Development.C. CharityShop:Where You Buy toDonate.D. The Public’s Concern about Charity Shops.分析: C。认真阅读分析末节内容不难发现,What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment. 体现作者写作目的是告诉人们慈善商店是花钱购物资助困难者的好地方,因此以Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.为标题准确贴切, 而且该标题句式对称, 富有美感。3. 同时由首节和末节提炼主题配备标题不少情况下文章首节提出主题, 而末节重现主题, 因此认真阅读首节与末节可以提炼主题并检验主题, 从而成功给文章配备标题。首节: When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate ( 照亮) me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.末节: It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist ( 心理学家) , who The empt y vessels make t he great est sound. 满瓶不响, 半瓶咣当。will only fill up the healing ( 愈合的) silencenecessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. ( 2008北京卷阅读D 篇) 试题( 70 题) : What is the best title for the passage?A. Unforgettable ExperiencesB. Remarkable ImaginationC. Lifelong FriendshipD. Noble Companions分析: D。认真阅读仔细分析原文首节可以发现作者把朋友看成能分享其快乐、指点其道路、培养其对生活的爱的对象, 可见作者把朋友看成高贵的同伴。认真阅读末节可以发现, 与朋友这么好的同伴相处是作者一生最大的愿望, 由此不难发现这是文章的点题之处。4. 由全文提炼文章主题配备标题不少情况下文章主题不在首节或末节集中体现, 而是隐含在文章通篇语言中。因此, 为成功提炼主题, 同学们应通读原文, 弄清作者在介绍什么内容, 赞扬或批评什么现象, 歌颂或批评哪些人, 文章叙述线索是什么, 表达手段是什么, 从而提炼概括出文章主题, 并且成功给文章配备标题。原文: Runners in a relay(接力) race pass a stick in one direction. However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road. The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 B.C, to about A.D, 1300, when sea travel offered new routes (路线). It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe.The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much fond in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect onthe West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft (嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science onto others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web. The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy (外交), and religion (宗教). ( 2008 陕西卷阅读D 篇)试题:What is the best title for the passage?A. The Silk Road: Past and PresentB. The Silk Road: East Meets WestC. The Silk Road: Routes Full of DangersD. The Silk Road: Pathways for Learning分析: B。认真阅读分析原文不难发现,本文自始至终介绍丝绸之路是东西方贸易往来的重要通道, 因此以B 项为题准确贴切, 且因为句式对称协调, 句意简洁明确而具有一定的醒目性。

Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of London's main tourist attractions.&&& Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process doctors say could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5.&&& A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.&&& Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.&&& In 1999, he was buried in a coffin for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.&&& "I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they're able to do what they can do," he said. "They don't realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation."&&& But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see. Had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.&&& 1. It is&&&& for David Blaine to eat food after such a long starvation.&&& A. pleasant&&B. delicious &&& C. dangerous&&D. important&&& 2. Having spent such a long time in the glass box, he suffered the following EXCEPT that&&&&&&& .&&& A. he had become blind&&& B. he had serious back pains&&& C. he lost his sense of taste&&& D. he was in weak health&&& 3. Which of the following can best describe David Blaine?&&& A. Serious&&B. Adventurous& &&& C. Mad&&&D. Crazy &&& 4. Which of the following is not true of David Blaine?&&& A.

In Blaine's opinion, people can create a wonder.&&& D. Blaine didn't have any food for 44 days.&&& ( B )&&& A lot of us lose life's tougher battles by starting a frontal(正面的)attack - when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒)about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late - serious illness at home - he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.&&& Yes, the boss was, as Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sam's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!"he said. "I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job. Which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"&&& The room exploded in laughter. The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job - with the only tool that could win, a laugh.&&& Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected(忽视的)means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance(忍受力)than people in any other forum.&&& 1. Why was Sam late for his job?&&& A. Because he was ill.&&& B. Because he got up late.&&& C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.&&& D. He was busy applying for a new job.&&& 2. The main idea of this passage is ______.&&& A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor&&& B. Humor is important in our lives&&& C. Early bird gets the worm&&& D. Humor can solve racial discriminations&&& 3. The phrase clamped off in paragraph 3 means______.]&&& A. tried to hold back&& B. tried to &&& C. set charged &&& D. gave out&&& 4. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?&&& A. Many lose life's battles because they are lacking in a sense of humor.&&& B. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for work &&& C. Sam was supposed to arrive at his office at 8:30.&&& D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.&&& (议论文)&( C )&&& Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障碍)to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa's government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.&&& Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travelers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travelers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.&&& Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.&&& Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.&&& 1. The examples in paragraph 2 are used to tell the readers that _______.&&& A. people have been allowed to travel freely within the country&&& B. people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasons&&& C. travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas&&& D. customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countries&&& 2. Some governments limit the freedom of communication because _______.&&& A. they intend to keep their national secrets unknown to others&&& B. they think such freedom will lead to wars&&& C. they often disagree with each other on important matters&&& D. they want to show their authority over communication&&& 3. We may learn from the passage that _______.&&& A. people do not care about the removal of barriers between countries&&& B. people can not remove the obstacles made by themselves&&& C. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones&&& D. barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist&&& 4. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?&&& A. Barriers Made by People&&& B. Functions of Communication&&& C. Restrictions on Transportation&&& D. Progress of Human Society&&& (科普篇)&&&&&& ( D)&&& In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Homes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They found out that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress - it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you deal with these events has a great effect on your chances of staying healthy.&&& By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women's magazines ran headlines like "Stress causes illness!" If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many - like the death of a loved one - are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription(处方)for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.&&& The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of what we know about people. It is supposed that we're all weak and passive in the face of difficulty. But many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental damage.&&& 1. The result of Holmes-Rahe's medical research tells us ______.&&& A. the way of dealing with major events may cause stress&&& B. what should be done to avoid stress&&& C. what kind of event would causes stress&&& D. how to deal with sudden changes in life&&& 2.

But similar thoughts might be worrying US President George W. Bush as he prepares for election year with the world's most wanted man still out of his reach.&&& The hunter for Osama bin Laden, leader of the al-Qaida group, has been going on since the attack on New York's World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Progress has been slow and, with Democrat Senator John Kerry winning the race last Tuesday to challenge Bush in November's presidential elections, the president needs results. If Osama bin Laden can be caught before the presidential election, Bush will gain an obvious advantage.&&& The American public's support for the war in Iraq has been falling, especially as the Bush government cannot find the banned weapons(武器)that it said were in the country. But the way the president's popularity rose following the capture(捕获)of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in December shows how useful it would be if bin Laden could be caught.&&& The latest polls suggest the election will be close, with 48 per cent of Americans saying they will vote for Bush and 46 per cent backing Kerry.&&& In order to capture the Saudi Arabia-born al-Qaida leader, thousands of US soldiers were moved from Iraq to Afghanistan earlier this week. Further efforts have been made to strengthen Afghanistan's border(边境) area with Pakistan, with soldiers inspecting nearby villages more frequently than before. However, Pakistan has denied(否认)reports that US soldiers will be allowed to search for bin Laden on its land. Bush's battles, both at home and abroad, will not be won easily.&&& 1. Why does the writer mention the rule of life for computer game players in cyber-world?&&& A. Because catching Osama bin Laden is another game.&&& B. Because real life can be similar to life in cyber-world.&&& C. Because this is also one of the rules in the American presidential election.&&& D. Because a game like this has become a real life situation for Bush.&&& 2. We can learn from the passage that Osama bin Laden _______.&&& A. was born in Afghanistan and lives in Saudi Arabia&&& B. is sure to be captured since Saddam Hussein has been caught.&&& C. must be found so that 48% of the Americans will back Bush&&& D. is probably hidden in the border area of Afghanistan and Pakistan&&& 3. The underlined word "inspecting" (paragraph 6) can be replaced by _______.&&& A. seeking&&B. searching& &&& C. bombing&&D. visiting&&& 4. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.&&& A. the Bush government has great difficulty in seizing bin Laden&&& B. Kerry is more likely than Bush to win the coming presidential election&&& C. more and more people are supporting the war in Iraq&&& D. Pakistan will allow US soldiers to search for bin Laden on its land&&& (社会文化篇)&&&& ( F )&&& Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets. The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million. That was the second largest lottery jackpot(累积奖金)in history.&&& More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80. The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million. But that little chance certainly didn't affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.&&& Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they'll probably never have.&&& But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized(合法化的)gambling. Some critics(批评家)note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts(成瘾者)who take the game seriously. They may pour their life saving into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.&&& Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice(恶习), under the name of social progress.&&& No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.&&& 1. The main idea of the passage is that _______.&&& A. lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys them&&& B. playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock market&&& C. a lot of people buy lottery tickets, but lotteries cause disagreement&&& D. lotteries are just legalized vice&&& 2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?&&& A. Politicians like lotteries because they don't have to pay extra tax.&&& B. The popularity of lotteries in American actually is social progress.&&& C. Some critics don't like lotteries because many poor people waste their money on them.&&& D. People love the lottery because it is a stock market.&&& 3. In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling ________.&&& A. $ 1.62 million&B. $ 90 million&&& C. $ 9.6 million&D. $ 87 million&&& 4.

But it is not good to escape from problems by giving up or by making excuses for failures. You may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through: meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities.&&& If you are unhappy about something, face it. Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are up against. Then see if you can "put your finger" on the cause of your unhappiness.&&& In many cases, we only "think" there is no solution to a particular problem. But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.&&& For example, a boy wanted to be a debater(辩论家). When he tried out for the debating team as a freshman, the coach thought he was hopeless. H he had a high- and his posture(体态)was poor. Although he was given little hope of success, he took advantage of every opportunity to debate. He studied successful speakers and sized up his own weaknesses and assets. Then he spent many hours learning all the facts on the topics for debate, and worked at developing good posture and at speaking clearly. By his junior year, he made the school debating team, and in his senior year he was on the winning team in his state. He achieved his goal because he had made a direct attack upon his problem.&&& Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic in judging situations. Sometimes it is necessary to change the tactics(策略)or the goal .&&& A girl who has plain features may decide that she cannot win popularity with her face, and so she may try to develop an interesting personality, which eventually will get her much further. In this situation, she must change her method of achieving her goal.&&& So, although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do.&&& 1. What is the main idea discussed in the first paragraph?&&& A. Giving up a puzzling problem.&&& B. Escaping from problems by making excuses for failures.&&& C. Going through the same difficult process.&&& D. Testing people's abilities.&&& 2.

What's the writer's attitude towards…?& Which of the following is the best title of the article ? 和What can we& infer from the passage? 等等问题是相当有益的。绝对不能像有的学生那样一个词一个词地慢吞吞地看,甚至用手一个单词一个单词地指着读,而应该通过眼球的移动对所给材料进行快速浏览,这样更易于把握所读材料的主要逻辑线索,时间和空间顺序。&&& 二、猜测生词,促进思考。&&& 做阅读题时常会碰到生词和猜测词意的习题,有的学生习惯地把字典放在手边,碰到生词就停下来查,这样,既影响了阅读速度又打断了思维,不利于对文章的整体理解,况且在真枪实弹的高考中是不可能这么做的。必须学会:I.根据上下文猜测.例如:The bright sunlight reflected in the water dazzled my eyes.这里dazzled一词似乎非查不可,但我们可从全句所提供的词语情景 "强烈的阳光" "反射在水中"对 "我的眼睛",会产生什么样的感觉呢?显然是耀眼.通过这种猜测方法既使自己有了一个思考过程,又使自己通过这样一个思考过程加深了记忆.。II. 根据逻辑或常识来猜测词义. 例如:Since she first apologized to you for it, it is meet that you do the same. 这里 meet显然不再是 "遇到"或 "接见", 从词义情景和逻辑线索可猜测其意为suitable。III.根据构词法猜测生词词义。 例如:As the disease developed to its advanced stage, the cancer is inoperable.根据词缀与词干的结合常规可将inoperable分成in-oper (ate)-able三个词素,其中前缀in-表否定意义,词干oper (ate)基本意思为 "手术", 后缀able表示 "能够的",则我们就不难猜测inoperable意为 "不可动手术的"。& &&& 三、明确目的,加强理解。&&& 对于一些篇幅较长、较难的阅读材料,尤其是一些科普读物,我建议先看题目再去阅读。&&& 这样带着任务去阅读,一方面确立了阅读的目的, 同时也训练了学生的阅读技能。就像出门游历时可直达目的地,既可加快解题速度,同时又可加深对文章的印象。当然,所谓先看题目是指先看材料后的题干,而不包括选项,要不然会造成相互干涉和相互影响。&&& 四、分析结构,积累知识。&&& 阅读能力的提高,还依赖于学生知识面的扩大,这就要求我们在平时的阅读训练时要有意识地加强对某些句子结构的比较,帮助学生掌握和积累知识点。大家知道,语言这东西比较灵活,同一个短语在不同的句子里会有不同的意义,同一个结构可能有截然相反的两种概念。如too…to结构,乍一看到,学生会不假思索地认为是"太…而不能",但是有时理解成"非常"/"极其"/"十分"。英语里的比喻,双关语,典故等等,更是举不胜举。只有通过大量的阅读,仔细的分析,广泛地积累,不断的扩大知识面,才能在阅读时得心应手。&&& 五、认真复查,避免错漏。&&& 针对目前高考阅读题的变化,要想避免非智力因素的失分,必须认真做好复查这一步。因为阅读题目中有这种类型:Which of the following is mentioned?& Which statement is also right besides A? Which of the following is wrong? Which cannot we infer from the passage? Which topic will following the passage above?& 如果盲目作答,很可能就会中出题人的圈套,落入出题人事先设下的陷阱,而自己还未发觉,窃以为喜。&&& 高考阅读理解的应对措施&&& 1. 考生在考前的知识准备中,应加强下列几个方面的训练:&&& A. 养成良好的阅读习惯。良好的阅读习惯包括:宽视幅阅读、快速默读,眼脑同时活动、将整体阅读和理解放在首位等。&&& B. 应掌握个单词,应熟练掌握已学过的单词、词组、句型及其搭配。&&& C. 应学会根据上下文猜测词义和短语意义的能力。&&& D. 应知晓一些热门科技话题、跨文化差异等必备的知识。&&& 2. 考生在应试时,应做到:&&& A. 心平气和、呼吸正常,保证大脑有氧运动。&&& B. 先看文后附给的几个考题以及备选答案,以便带着问题阅读。&&& C. 第一遍阅读应是快速的,从所带问题入手,以快速阅读所带来的语感为契机,初步确定2~3个答案。&&& D. 未能立即确定的答案,应仔细分析四个备选项在语意上、上的差异,先排除1~2个备选项。&&& E. 备选项难以区分差异时,应从逻辑上来推断,亦可用反证法加以区分或逐一排除干扰项。&&& F. 尽可能地将短文所涉及的5W、1H弄清楚(并非所有短文均有5W、1H),它们是who, what, when, where, why及how。&&& G. 考查文章深层含义或具体细节时,应迅速搜集自己平时的中文、英文积累,去粗取精,去伪存真,由此及彼,以表及里,认真答题,切不可随意放弃机会。&&& 综上所述,解答阅读理解题,主要依靠平时的积累,即知识能力、智力因素;同时沉着镇静、临场发挥,即心理素质,非智力因素,亦不可小嘘。&&& ( A ) 1-4. CABB&&& 美国魔术师David Blaine 多次挑战人体极限,这次又进行了44天的饥饿实验。人们对此众说纷纭。&&& 1. C. 推测题。根据He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process doctors say could be life threatening 可知,进食是个威胁生命的过程。&&& 2. A. 细节题。文中说at times he was unable to see,是说他有时看不见东西,但不等于说他的眼睛瞎了。故A的说法不符合事实。&&& 3. B. 推断题。根据buried in a coffin for one week…spent 62 hours in a giant top of a 25-meter pillar in the center or New York for 35 hors before jumping into a pile of boxes 等细节描写,我们可以得出这个结论:David Blaine 喜欢冒险。故选B.&&& 4.B. 细节题。根据A native of Brooklyn, New York 我们可以知道Blaine 是地地道道地美国人。&&& ( B ) 1-4. CBAB&&& 本文通一个小故事讲述了幽默的重要性。&&& 1.C.细节题。根据who hit a traffic jam on his way to work 可知,他迟到的原因是,他碰上了交通堵塞。&&& 常见的考查细节类的题目措辞如下:&&& Choose the right order of the events given in the passage.&&& Which of the following gives the correct relation between…and…?&&& Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?&&& The story happened in ___.&&& Which of the following was the cause of the accident _________?&&& 2.B.主旨题。短文第一句是主题句A lot of us lose life's tougher battles by starting a frontal attack when a touch of humor might well enable us to win .(在人生很多场激烈的争斗中,我们如果与人硬碰硬正面交锋的话,可能败得一蹋糊涂。而幽默往往使我们反败为胜)可见,整篇短文讲的幽默的重要性。&&& 常见考查文章或段落主题与中心思想的题目如下:&&& The best title of the passage might be ___.&&& The main idea of the passage is ______.&&& The passage is mainly about __.&&& The writer's main thought is that ___.&&& Which title best gives the idea of that passage ____?&&& Which of the following supports the main idea ___?&&& Which of the following can be the best headline of the passage______?&&& 3.A.词义猜测题目。前面提到老板连辞退他的话都想好了,而Sam开的这个开玩笑使人们哄堂大笑。而老板为了树立他的威严,仍然强忍着他的笑容。故答案A。&&& 常见的考查词句理解的题目如下:&&& When the woman said…, what she meant was _______.&&& The phrase… means ______.&&& The underlined words … refer to ________.&&& What do you think the expression … stands for?&&& The word… has the same meaning as the word _______.&&& 高考阅读理解词义句义猜测题应试技巧&&& 阅读理解中,经常出现一定量的生词,并且每年总有二至四题直接考查词义、句义猜测。这充分体现了《教学大纲》和《说明》的要求,意在考查考生根据上下文推测生词短语含义的能力,突出考查语境的分析和把握能力。猜词能力不仅涉及到学生的语言知识水平,还涉及到学生的语言应用能力和综合素质水平。在阅读理解中,猜测词义、句义题的特点是对生词、短语,指示代词和句子的猜测。其应试技巧作如下简单介绍:&&& (一)词义猜测题&&& 1.同义法:通常在词或短语之间有并列连词and或or,这些词或短语在句中作相同的成分,并且and或or连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的,由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域,甚至推知它的大致词义。&&& 2. 反义法:利用反义词说明生词的意义。如反义词hot and cold. Give and receive, perfect and imperfect, 甚至前、后句为肯定与否定、或是与不是等,在句内词与词之间,在段内句与句之间的关系上起着互为线索的作用。&&& 3.释义法:在文中的字里行间,对生词以定语(从句)、表语甚至用逗号、破折号等标点符号引出并加以解释说明的方式。&&& 4.情景推断法:猜测任何词义都离不开文章的语言情景,词义可以从上下文的具体语言环境中推断出来。&&& 5、代词替代法:一般来讲,代词所指代的内容多在这一句话的前后句中。找到指代的内容后把它放在那个代词的位置上,看一看这句话是否合理,与前后的内容是否一致,然后再判定它是否为正确答案。&&& 4. B. 推断题。根据shortly after receiving an ultimatum ( 最后通牒)about being late on the job 我们可以了解到,Sam 不是第一次上班迟到了。&&& ( C ) 1-4. BACA&&& 本文陈述人类自己设置交通和交流的障碍这一现象,并阐述原因和目的。&&& 1. B. 本题考查考生对议论文行文逻辑结构的分析。本文第一小节是摆出论点,同时列举现象来证明。第二小节列举了国家与国家之间set up costoms posts, customs inspection, passports and visas, limit the number of visitors等现象,说明为什么不同国家之间的居民不能自由进出别的国家,正是因为有这些人为的barriers,这些barriers就是原因。&&& 2. A. 本题是细节题。从第三小节的最后一句话: Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret. 可以直接得出答案。&&& 3. C. 细节与主旨考查结合题。这正是最后一小节的观点:The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome。&&& 4. A. 主旨考查题。文章既讲到transportation又论述了communication,因此B、C选项有以偏盖全之嫌。至于D,对本文来说无疑太大了。&&& ( D ) 1-4. CACD&&& 1. C. 细节考查题。第一小节的前半部分提到any major change can be stressful"任何大的变故",包括negative events和positive life-changing events都在名单之列。&&& 2. A. 细节考查题。第二小节的第一、二句中指明了时间,其中的millions of Americans则表示这种忧虑波及范围之广,较为明确地说明了本题的答案。&&& 3. C. 推断题。第三小节But many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before.这句话意思说:经受过stress阶段的许多人在体质和意志上都更坚强。可以推断这种坚强表现在当他们再次经历时会比较容易应付这些变故,因为有了经验。&&& 4. D. 归纳主旨题。本文通过讲述stress包括的情况、影响、人们对此作出的积极和消极的反应,来阐述最后一小节中的一个观点:The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of what we know about people. 由此可以看出作者对stress的辩证态度。&&& ( E ) 1-4. DDBA&&& 本文以时事评论的形式介绍了影响布什总统选票的一个重要因素:能否抓住本o拉登。&&& 1. D. 推断题。推测作者的意图和观点。由网络游戏 → 本o拉登 → 抓本o拉登的布什,互有联系、互为影响的关系来说明布什所处的环境:抓不到bad guy,就得不到胜利。&&& 2. D. 也是推断题。由最后一小节交代的信息:美军从伊拉克进入阿富汗,又加强对巴基斯坦的边境布防,说明本o拉登可能在这两个国家的边境活跃。&&& 3. B. 词义辨析题。由inspecting的宾语villages,以及下文出现的表示美军行动的search for,可知是搜查村庄找本o拉登。&&& 4. A. 态度、观点推断题。从最后一小节,作者对美军花了大力气但依然没有收获的描述,表明这种努力的结果到底如何还很难预料。&&& 考查寓意与结论的题目常见的题干有:&&& The writer doesn't say but we can know __________.&&& The author's purpose in writing this passage seems to be__________.&&& This passage is probably taken from ____________.&&& We can infer from the passage that _______________.&&& The author probably feels that ___________.&&& Which of the following conclusions can we draw according to the passage?&&& The writer of this passage is probably a _____________.&&& The writer's attitude toward ….is __________. &&& ( F ) 1-4. CCAB&&& 本文举Pennsylvania为例,介绍了彩票这一社会现象,同时说明这一现象对社会和个人的影响。&&& 1. C. 归纳主旨题。通过文中的experts和critics对彩票这一社会现象的不敢苟同的态度和看法,可知彩票对社会造成不和谐disagreement。&&& 2. C. 细节判断题。可用排除法解此题。根据文章中提供的信息对四个选项进行一一判断。&&& 3. A. 计算题。从第二节最后一句:In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second. 那么一小时= 3600秒,因此算式是 3600× 500× 0.9 = 1.62million&&& 4. B. 细节考查题。由倒数第三节最后一句话可知。&&& ( G ) 1-4. CBBD&&& 本文作者意在就面临问题或困境应采取什么态度及措施表达看法和作出建议。&&& 1. C. 归纳题。从第一小节的语气可以推断A、B两个选项都是作者文章中持否定态度的做法,D项只是作者赞同的做法步骤之一。只有C,作者告诉大家:所有年轻人都要经历同样的困难。&&& 2. B. 句意词意理解题。 这里作者就如何解决问题提出了建议:用几句话说说困难到底是什么,这样一来就知道自己究竟要奋起跟什么作斗争。因此 be up against = be faced with。&&& 3. B. 行文结构题。第三小节提出一个解决问题的方法:making a direct attack,第四小节是举例来说明。&&& 4. D. 主旨归纳题。本文的重点是提出建议如何解决问题,A项是对某种做法的判断;B项是面对问题时应采取的基本态度,但并未涉及具体做法;C项用realistic不够具体,而且未讲具体措施;只有D项较全面、详细,是根据本文最后一句中出现的关连词So, although…可见是对上文的总结。&&& 巧借连接词,提高英语阅读效率&&& 篇章连接词(以下简称连接词)是指在文章中用来说明上下句或前后句两个意思之间关系的词或词组。连接词通常用于开篇,引出扩展句;也可用于句中,尤其是用于较长的复杂句子中,以作为上下文的连接纽带;还可以用于文末或段末,用于总结上下或结束本段内容。在阅读过程中,倘若我们能够利用这些连接词,快速理清文章的思路,就能在一定程度上提高英语阅读效率。&&& 常见的连接词通常可以用来表示以下几种关系:1平行或递进关系;2转折关系;3目的或因果关系;4层次、顺序关系;5例举关系;6解释说明关系;7概括、总结关系。下面本文结合例句来谈谈英语阅读中的这些连接词。&&& 一、表示平行或递进关系的连接词通常有:and, also, as, well (as), at the same time, besides, both…and…,furthermore, in addition (to),likewise, moreover, similarly, worse stll等。&&& 在阅读过程中,当你看到其中的任何一个连接词时,你应该明白:下文将出现与前边差不多的、同类性质的内容,或是对前面内容的进一步阐述。请看下边例句。&&& 二、表示转折关系的连接词通常有:although, but, however, neverthe-less , on the contrary, otherwise, to the opposite, while, yet等。&&& 这些词表示作者在向读者发出一种信号,下文所述的将是一种全新的或是相反的内容、见解和观点,需要引起读者的格外注意。在阅读过程中,当你阅读到其中任何一个表示转折关系的连接词时,你应该放慢阅读速度,多留心下文在意义上的变化。&&& 三、表示目的或因果关系的连接词通常:as, as a result, because(of), consequently, due to, for, now that, since, so, so…that…, such…that…, therefore, thus等。&&& 在阅读过程中,这些连接词也是帮助读者理解作者行文思路的有用信号。&&& 四、表示层次、顺序关系的连接词有:after (that),another, before first(ly), second (ly), third(ly), at last, finally, later on, next, then, on the one hand…on the other hand 等。&&& 抓住这些连接词,读者能快速地把握作者的行文思路。比如:first, second, third, …finally这些词,表明了一种顺序,读者能通过它们迅速从大体上理清文章的脉络。&&& 五、表示例举关系的连接词通常有:for example, for instance, for one thing, for another, such as等。在阅读过程中,当你阅读到其中任何一种时,你应该明白,作者在下文将举出一个类似情形的事例。&&& 六、表示理解说明关系的连接词通常有:in other words, that is 等。&&& 七、表示归纳、总结的连接词通常有:as a result, briefly, in a word ,in brief, in short, on the whole, to sum up等。&&& 作者通过这些连接词给读者一种暗示,下面的内容将是对前面所述内容的概括或总结。在阅读过程中,当你看到这些连接词时,你应该明白;作者将在下面的篇幅中作出一种归纳或总结。&&& 总而言之,篇章连接词就像一个信号,像一盏导航引路的明灯。在阅读过程中,它们时时在给你提示和指引。看懂它们,你就会明白那些隐藏在字里行间的行文思路,从而提高你的英语阅读效率。&&& ( H ) 1-3.
