Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Stephen Hawking’s book was a huge commercial success.Its achievements in bringing difficult scientific ideas to a wide audience are not so clear.Now the distinguished physicist has teamed up with his daughter Lucy to produce a children’s book designed to communicate contemporary physics.Will it capture the attention of young minds and teach them some real science？Will it be boring and over the heads of the prospective readers? https://www.360docs.net/doc/f212120720.html,
George’s Secret Key to the Uni v erse is an adventure story complete with villains(反面人物)and hero and is illustrated with enjoyable line-drawings.It involves a lost pig，a humorously portrayed(描写)intelligent computer，school bulies and a trip through the Solar System.Didactic discussions on aspects of modern physics，such as supernova explosions and black-hole physics are hung on this set-up.There are also fact boxes on physics and astronomy，and some photographs of astronomical phenomena：planets，comets，galaxies(星系)and so on.Overall，the book is a serious effort to convey facts and ideas in present day astronomy and astrophysics，within a science-fiction adventure story.
The mixture is great.Children love facts and adventure stories.The combination will catch their interest and keep them occupied for hours.After ten minutes of leafing through the book，my granddaughter Ruby was deeply absorbed and I had to promise to bring it back for her to read after I had completed my review.Like any educational tool，it will succeed for some and not for others.I suppose there should be more of the former.

18．What is the author’s attitude towards the book being reviewed?
A．It will be less successful.
B．It will be more successful.
C．It will be a complete failure.

Like most big projects, learning to manage your mother well is what you should do. Here are what I believe the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising or revolutionary, but they have worked for many people. Try them.
Remember your mother’s age.As children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Even when we become conscious of her as an individual，age does not change our view; she is still our mother.Knowing our mother’s age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better.
Listen to your mother.I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are remarkably useful. If your mother knows that you respect her point
Remember that your mother has a past. A key step in managing our relationship with our mother is to find out about her early life. Niclle’s mother suffered much during the Second World War. “My parents are both Jewish-Turkish. They met in France and married young for love. They were in their twenties when war broke out and because they were Jews，they had to go into hiding. She does speak to me about the war, and I think it is important to know what she went through. It is a part of her life that must have affected her deeply.”Sometimes, in learning about our mother’s past, we know that it can encourage us to think about her whole life.
Ask your mother about your childhood history.My grandparents died when I was young. If you are fortunate enough to have living family, think of your life as a jigsaw(拼图)puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother.
Keep a sense of humor about your mother. I have often listened to stories of difficult mothers and I have also listened to the following piece of advice which I have found most helpful：Don’t have a sense of humor failure about your mother.
Remember that managing your mother is really about managing yourself.No matter how difficult we find her, it is important to remember that it is not her behavior itself that is causing us discomfort, but the way we feel about her behavior. We should follow the way of her life. Only then are you able to accept your mother －with all her failings.
【解题导语】本文重点讨论了如何与母亲处理好关系的问题。身为人子，都要学会：记住母亲的年龄，倾听母亲的心声，了解母亲关于自己儿时的叙述，用幽默感染母亲，善待母亲其实就是善待自己。
20．The followings are the steps you can take to get on with your mother EXCEPT ________ .
A．remembering your mother’s age
B．sharing your roots and your childhood with your mother
C．having a sense of humor failure about your mother
D．managing yourself while managing your mother
解析：事实细节题。选项A直接可从第二段的标题中得出；根据第四段最后一句得出B 项(和母亲一起分享家族史和自己的童年)；C项应该是：Don’t have a sense of humor failure about your mother；D项与最后一条的标题吻合。
答案：C
21．What does the underlined word “them”refer to in the first paragraph?
A．projects. B．mothers.
C．steps. D．people.
解析：词义猜测题。可根据本句的上文“Here are what I believe the best steps towards
a better relationship with her”判断。
答案：C
22．Which of the following is implied but not stated in the passage?
A．It will help you have a better relationship with your mother if you respect
her opinion.
B．You should follow a most useful piece of advice－a sense of humor.
C．The key measure of managing our mother is how we manage ourselves.
D．It is unreasonable to expect our mother to change totally from the way she was brought up.
解析：推理判断题。选项A在第二条“Listen to your mother.”中有陈述；B项在第四条“Keep a sense of humor about your mother，”中可知；C项是最后一段中的事实陈述；D项文中并未直接陈述，但可根据全文及最后一条中的“We should follow the way of her life”一句推知。
答案：D
23．The main purpose of writing the text is ________.
A． to give information about how you think of your mother
B．to improve the relationship with your mother
C．to keep a sense of humor about your mother all day long
D．to accept your mother—with all her failings
解析：推理判断题。选项A不全面，文章不仅仅是给出有关这方面的信息；而B项(如何改善与母亲的关系)是本文的主要写作目的；选项C和D是改善这种关系的具体内容和细节。
答案：B

2012届高考英语二轮专题总复习 阅读理解精选(三)
2012届高考英语二轮专题总复习阅读理解精选（三） A AMSTERDAM (AP)－She’s not afraid of pirates(海盗). She’s packed plenty of school books. And she’s going to miss her family and her dog, Spot. Fourteen-year-old Laura Dekker jumped onto her boat Wednesday and sailed off from the Netherlands hoping to become the youngest person to make a voyage around the world by herself. About 100 supporters waved as Laura and her father Dick Dekker left the southern Dutch harbor of Den Osse in her 11.5-meter-long sailing boat Guppy, for Portugal wh ere she plans to leave her father and begin her attempt to travel around the world. Last week, Laura won a legal battle when a court released her from the guardianship(监护) of Dutch child protection agencies. They had blocked her initial plan to depart at age 13 over fears for her safety and psychological health during the trip, which will likely take around a year. “I can be sailing now, and that’s great！”she told reporters Wednesday. Laura raised the black Jolly Roger－like flag of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society above the two red masts(桅杆) before sailing out. Laura, who was born on a sailing boat off the coast of New Zealand, has been working to counter objections to her voyage since the authorities stepped in last year. She got a bigger, stronger boat, took courses in first aid and practiced coping with sleep deprivation(缺乏)．She also made at least one trip by herself across the North Sea to England. The Dutch court ruled that Laura’s preparations were adequate and it was up to her parents, who are divorced, to decide whether to let her make the attempt. Her mother, Babs Mueller, recently withdrew(撤销) her opposition to the plan. Dekker’s case has fueled a global debate over the wisdom of allowing ever-younger sailors to take on the great risks of sailing the high seas alone. 荷兰14岁少女Laura Dekker将独自驾驶帆船环球航行，挑战全球最年轻独自环球航行纪录。1．How did Laura feel when she was setting off? A．Embarrassed. B．Surprised. C．Excited. D．Anxious. 解析推理判断题。根据第五段的“I can be sailing now，and that’s great！”一句可知，Laura出发时非常激动和开心。 答案 C 2．Which statement is true about Laura’s mother? A．She thinks highly of Laura’s adventure. B．She no longer shows concern about Laura. C．She decides to disapprove of Laura’s voyage. D．She opposed Laura’s attempt at the beginning. 解析推理判断题。根据文章的倒数第二段可知，Laura的母亲最近撤销了对女儿独自航行计划的反对，可见最初母亲反对女儿孤身去环球航行。 答案 D 3．What is the text mainly about?
2013年高考湖北卷英语试题解析(版)(解析版)
[试卷总评]:2013年湖北英语试题总体难度较难。没有偏题、怪题。命题中，注意考查学生的英语素质，注意保证知识覆盖面，增加综合性和语境化的因素。听力部分：语音纯正，语速一般，试题难度适中。。单项选择：10个，21－30主要以考查词性为主（包括名词，动词和形容词），同时同时也考查了两个动词短语和一个介词短语。这一部分较难，特别是针对平时不认真去记忆和理解单词的部分考生来说，就更难了。比如，这第21题，27题，四个选项的单词又是不常用的单词，做的时候就不容易正确。完形填空：记叙文。以拟人的方式，记叙了Zigfried这只老鼠看到搬了一家新人来，圣诞过十分满意，却不知自己成了别人的圣诞礼物的故事，故事情节清晰，逻辑性强，易于理解。阅读理解五篇，总体难度适中，A 篇这是一篇说明文，介绍了作者的爱好就是记录下自己的经历，但作者后来感受到记录经历，不如享受现在。四个题较易。B篇是一篇记叙文，记叙了Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, 两母女作者的故事。C篇是一篇议论文，讨论了我们到一个了怪圈，不是饥饿，而是生活好，让我们死去的风险更大。D篇是一篇夹叙夹认的记叙文。Mrs. Almond 通过网上技术，她自认为得了喉癌，而实际上是肺结核。所以我们不能单一的依赖网络。这四篇较易。题也较易。D篇是一篇议论文。通过调查发现：随着年龄的增长，对生活的期望也就下降。文章具有一定的阅读难度。题也较难。信息匹配题，能很好地考查文章信息匹配和词形变化。完成句子这一部分，考查得较全面，是不可多得的一部分，能真正考查学生的知识与能力。作文是一篇开放式作文，给出写作的事例和要求，要求考生要有相应的知识储备，这一部分对考生的要求较高。总之，2013高考湖北英语试题能很好考查学生英语知识水平和英语素质的英语试题。 绝密★启用前 2013年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（湖北卷） 英语

2012年高考英语试题(湖北卷)解析
湖北卷 21. 答案：A 解析：句意：两位律师捐出5万美元来赞助我们学校的“救助贫困生”活动，这项活动是由我们的前任校长在三年前发起的。本题考查动词的辨析：sponsor“赞助”，launch“发射；发起”，organize“组织”，plan“计划”。sponsor最适合句意；launch有迷惑性，但此处选launch 的话与“我们的前任校长在三年前发起”相矛盾。 22. 答案：C 解析：句意：最后，我要感激我的老师，是他为我的论文提出了大量建议和意见，并为之润色。本题考查动词的辨析：approve“同意；赞成”，quote“引用”，polish“磨光；润色”，fold“折叠”。为每一页手稿“润色”最合句意。 23. 答案：B 解析：句意：一个人走在黑暗中，这个小男孩吹起了口哨好壮胆。本题考查含有up的短语动词的辨析：hold up“举起；阻挡”，keep up“保持”，set up“建起”，take up“拿起；开始”。此处易误以为take up courage“鼓起勇气”，但根据句意，此处应为“给自己壮胆；不害怕”，而keep up courage“保持勇气”就可以表示这层含义。 24. 答案：A 解析：句意：我非常高兴您能到这里来亲自处理这个问题。本题考查短语动词的辨析：lead to“通向；导致”，see to“处理；照顾”，turn to“转向；求助于”，refer to“提及；涉及；参考”。根据句意，此处应为turn to this matter in person“亲自处理此事”。 25. 答案：B 解析：句意：这件家具款式时尚、色彩亮丽，非常适合现代的花园楼房；不过，如果放在传统的家庭环境中就不协调了。本题考查含有out of的短语的辨析：out of question“没问题”，out of order“出故障；混乱；不整齐”，out of sight“在视野外；看不见”，out of place“不在恰当的地方；不合适；不恰当”。 26. 答案：A 解析：句意：父亲以试探的口气向来讨论这个难题的邻居建议道：“或许我们需要请来史密斯医生来讨论一下该怎么办？”本题考查副词的辨析：tentatively“试探性地”，thoughtlessly “草率地；轻率地”，definitely“清楚地；明确地”，rudely“粗鲁地”。“试探性地”提建议适合句意。 27. 答案：D 解析：句意：你能告诉我require和request这两个词的细微区别吗？本题考查形容词的辨析dramatic“戏剧性的；引人注目的；巨大的”，regional“区域性的”，relevant“相关的；切题的”，subtle“微妙的；细微的”。require和request是同义词，都有“要求”的意思，区别很小，很“微妙；细微”，所以答案选subtle。 28. 答案：C 解析：句意：该地区的房屋是否该拆除还存在争议，人们还在寻找别的可能的解决方案。本题考查形容词的辨析：unchallenged“不成问题的”，apparent“表面的；明显的”，controversial “有争议的”，contradictory“对立的；矛盾的”。根据句意，因为该问题存在争议，观点不一致，所以在寻求别的解决办法，controversial适合语境。 29. 答案：A 解析：句意：重要的是，要经常检查眼睛，看看有没有一些没有任何征兆的疾病。本题考查名词的辨析：symptom“征兆；症状”，similarity“相似性”，sample“样本”，shadow“阴影”。 30. 答案：B 解析：句意：警官坚持认为迈克尔并没有按照正确的程序申请护照。本题考查名词的辨析：
