专题限时检测(十八)阅读理解B篇保分练(一)(共4篇，限时28分钟)AVisa last year offered up to 50 small businesses a $10,000 reward to go cashless. Though it is still too early to know what will happen to the businesses that won the competition (Visa has not announced the winners yet), the key arguments in favor of cash-abandonment are that it would lead to more efficient service and carry a lower risk of theft. A recent Ne w York Times article covered restaurants in Manhattan that take plastic only, and supporters are looking forward to an entirely cashless society.Doing away with cash may indeed sound appealing. Supporters often note that China and India have already gone further in this direction than the United States. But a few drawbacks are obvious: Card companies such as Visa charge merchants high processing fees, the risk of fraud (诈骗) balances out the lower risk of theft, older consumers may not wish to make the change, and consumers will lose yet more privacy (large companies will have the ability to track every purchase made). Perhaps the less obvious one is that a cashless system will exclude the poor and the near-poor, for many poor people don't have credit cards or bank accounts.Conditions in the U. S. are nowhere near suitable for entering a cashless society; too many people would be left behind. Your young friend may be happy to accept money via PayPal or another app, your cafe may use an iPad instead of a cash register, but landlords in low-income areas still prefer money orders. It's convenient for consumers to charge, say, an outing to the nail salon — but when you add the tip to your credit card bill, it may never make it to the worker.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。
2020届高考英语二轮复习题型训练 阅读理解(二)(含答案)
题型训练阅读理解（二）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
ADay 1 ArrivalUpon arrival in Kunming, your Kunming tour guide will wait for you at the airport and help you to transfer to the hotel.Day 2 KunmingDay 3 Kunming →Dali (by air)21. What might the tourists be doing at 11:00 on the second day?A. Preparing for lunch.B. Relaxing in the hotel.C. Going to the Stone Forest.D. Visiting the Flower and Bird Market.22. What are the tourists recommended to do for evening activities in Kunming?A. To watch Dynamic Yunnan.B. To enjoy the local food.C. To buy handmade crafts.D. To wander about in the city.23. Why are tourists recommended to hike to the top while visiting Dali?A. Because it takes little effort to hike to the top.B. Because they can get full view of the old town.C. Because it is the only site to enjoy the scenery.D. Because they can take pictures of the three pagodas.BWhen I was about 5 years old, I experienced my very first random act of kindness. I was sitting at the roadside one evening, crying alone for some reason when suddenly, a boy came up to me and gave me a plastic rose, I remember the moment when I took the rose from his hand; I was smiling from ear to ear, whispering “I want to be like him” to myself as I watched him walking away.From then on, I made it as my life mission to do random acts of kindness whenever I can. I was very determined to make other people smile. That was the only reason why I joined myschool’s Red Crescent Society and became a volunteer. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks in the same way as I did. Whenever I do something nice to others, people around me will start to judge my actions. Often I will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a while, they do drive me up the wall.These people like to complain about how humans nowadays are lacking of humanities and compassion. However, when they actually see somebody doing a good deed in front of them, they start to question and criticize that person’s honesty. Perhaps it is the increasing crime rate and the never-ending rat race that caused them to be so suspicious to nice strangers. In other words, people nowadays have lost sight of the real meaning of kindness and just let it go unnoticed. That is why I think random acts of kindness are really important. These selfless acts are not only capable of bringing joy to the receivers but also to the givers. Because of this, I want to help spread the idea of these random acts to the whole world. I want to show the people how the little things they give could make a big difference in someone else’s life.24. What was the influence of the boy’s rose on the author?A. It made the author feel ashamed.B. The author decided to follow suit.C. The author said a lot to the boy.D. It gave the author strength and hope.25. Why did the author join the school’s Red Crescent Society?A. To be a volunteer.B. To live a happy life.C. To make others smile.D. To have a good time.26. Which can replace the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2?A. Make me very angry.B. Bring difficulty to me.C. Force me to climb the wall.D. Force me to the dead corner.27. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?A. Rats are always running on the streets.B. Those who do good deeds are respected.C. The author feels sad about other people.D. Trust between people is decreasing.CThe Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around theworld.Westerners’ understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage（针灸、拔罐和按摩）. For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps’ back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 WHO member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients（原材料）jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs.Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescription handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou’s winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or medicine for her research into malaria（疟疾）treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China’s TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.28. Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps?A. Because he was injured in his swimming.B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.C. Because westerners know a little about TCM.D. Because westerners attached great importance to TCM.29. Why don’t some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine?A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases.B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture.C. Because Western medicine is more effective.D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly.30. Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4?A. The methods of planting herbs.B. The effectiveness of prescription.C. Lacking in standardization.D. Its stable functions.31. The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that ________.A. Medicine-making companies lack creativityB. Prescriptions are got from the pastC. Western companies are more experiencedD. Medicine-making companies lack driving forceDAn exciting landing process of Chang’e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器）was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing, Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side never visible from Earth.China’s Chang’e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend, was launched on May 21, 2018, and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km fromthe earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang’e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth’s and moon’s gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can see both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space experts in the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星）hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang’e-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.32. What do we learn from the second paragraph?A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.B. Chang’e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.D. The relay satellite can handle data from Chang’e-4 probe.33. Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?A. To reduce the cost as much as possible.B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time.C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites.D. To follow American space experts’ advice.34. What made researchers suffer from great stress?A. Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.B. The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.C. Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.D. People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite35. What is the main idea of the text?A. China is a new space power after the USA.B.Change-4 probe lands on Moon’s far side.C. Chinese space engineers make much progress.D.

They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. “I instantly felt the urge to help out with that，” he said. Josh set a fundraising(筹款) deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100，000, but it didn’t shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.Josh’s fundraising efforts began to produce results.

The dark side of the change could be a much bigger breakdown of employment than in Victorian times, with professions such as accountancy(会计) among those at risk.A report by the accountancy firm PwC last month warned that more than 7 million jobs in Britain would lose over the next 20 years as technological change sweeps through workplaces.The majority of these jobs are in the retail, transport and manufacturing industries. However, other traditional professional sectors could also be at serious risk.Economists treat the arrival of increasingly intelligent computers and robots as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The first was the shift from agriculture to urban societies. The second saw the widespread use of electricity and steel, and the third was the digital revolution when computers, the Internet and mobile phones were developed.Mr.Haldane said the hollowingout(空洞化) experienced in the past years could be on a greater scale in the future, so it is important to learn the lessons of history and insure that people are given training to take advantage of new opportunities.“Jobs were effectively taken by machines of various types, and there was a hollowingout of the job market, which left many people for a long period out of work and struggling to make a living，”Haldane added. “That heightened social and financial tensions, and led to a rise in inequality. This is the dark side of technological revolution.”“That hollowingout is going to be potentially on a much greater scale in the future, when we have machines thinking and doing the cognitive and technical skills of humans.” Mr. Haldane said professions like accountancy could be among those hardest hit by the rise of AI. But he suggested economists could escape.8．What is the dark side mentioned in the text?A．The hollowingout has become a major social problem.B．Less and less people have the desire to learn accountancy.C．Intelligent computers and robots decrease good workers.D．The technological revolution causes people to lose jobs.9．Why are economists the lucky dog in the new technological revolution?A．The study about economy is at a low level.B．Economists work on a traditional professional job.C．There is no machine that can work as an economist.D．Economists have the chance to avoid technological revolution.10．What should be done to deal with the serious situation?A．Call for people to devote more to studying history.B．Teach people to grasp the chances technological revolution brings about.C．Warn people not to work on transport and manufacturing industries.D．Ask workers to develop and think as the intelligent computers and robots do.11．What attitude did Haldane have toward the future employment?A．Positive. B．Aggressive.C．Critical. D．Worried.D(2019·太原期末)We’re often reminded of the importance of preserving the planet as we see it for future generations—and children at St Oswald’s CE Primary School Chester certainly agree.Nineyearold Isobel Kelleher from the school’s Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note. “Sometimes they can be busy and I don’t think they think they can make a difference, but if everyone does a little bit it all adds up，”she tells HuffPost UK. “We started looking at plastic pollution in our oceans and the things like plastic bags that are polluting them，” she says. “Fish can eat the plastic and they can die, or we might even eat the fish ourselves.”Mr. Timms, Isobel’s teacher, has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly. The entire Hummingbirds class, which is made up of 9and 10yearold pupils, has been busy writing poems and creating online video advertisements to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.Mr. Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us. “We sometimes overlook how much we can really learn from children，” he says. “It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic, and to recycle more, and even stopping them using plastic straws.”Mr. Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class. “The message that they would like to send to the world is simple: stopping this isn’t someone else’s job, and it won’t be OK if we just leave it.”12．What can we infer about adults according to Isobel Kelleher?A．They just pretend to be busy.B．They haven’t done their part well.C．They can do nothing to stop pollution.D．They have started to care about the ocean.13．What is the purpose of the school project?A．To help adults to learn more about their kids.B．To remind adults to be friendly to the environment.C．To persuade students to stop using plastic bags.D．To teach students how to write poems creatively.14．Why does Mr. Timms mention parents in paragraph 4?A．To prove kids are creative in teaching.B．To attract people to support his work.C．To have adults care about education.D．To show the effects of the project.15．What is the text mainly about?A．An inspiring school project.B．An appeal to stop plastic bags.C．Serious situations of our planet.D．Adults’ ignorance of the environment.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020年高考英语二轮复习专题阅读理解
专题阅读理解高中英语教学大纲明确规定“侧重提高阅读能力”，这为我们的备考指明了方向。
分析近几年的高考英语试题，我们不难看出，阅读理解是高考试题中难度最大，区分度最高的题型，自始至终占据着主导地位。
阅读理解能力属于语言的领会技能，它不仅考查对语篇的整体把握能力，而且考查快速捕捉信息、准确理解特定细节以及复杂句子的能力。
不仅要准确理解文章表层的意思，还要通过表层去推理、判断。
除此之外，还涉及非语言因素，如：对所学语言国家的社会和文化背景知识的掌握、生活常识、逻辑知识和语言修养等。
Ⅰ.阅读理解题策略一、先看题干，带着问题读文章。
即先看试题，再读文章。
阅读题干，首先要掌握问题的类型，分清是客观信息题还是主观判断题。
其次，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。
二、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
近几年的高考阅读速度大约是每分钟40词左右。
必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速搜寻关键词、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。
速读全文对于主旨大意题的解决尤其有效，能快速抓住主干，确定好答案。
三、详读细节，理顺思路与文章脉络。
文章绝不是互不相干的句子的堆砌。
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；议论文则包含论点、论据、结论三大要素，通过解释、举例来阐述观点。
四、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
深层理解主要包括归纳概括题(中心思想，加标题等)和推理判断题，是阅读理解中的难点。
深层理解是一种创造性的思维活动。
它必须忠实于原文，以文章提供的事实和线索为依据，立足已知推断未知，不能凭空想像，随意揣测；读者要对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。
推理题在提问中常用的词有：conclude，infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

专题限时检测（二十六）任务型阅读（一）(限时24分钟)A(2019·南通模拟)Life can be overwhelming (令人不知所措的). We want to do as much as we can, see the world, learn new things — and it can all get a bit too much. Sometimes we reach a point when we feel that we can no longer be interested in everything. We have to shut some of life out, and we don't like that. We are living under the false assumption that to know anything worthwhile takes years of study, so we might as well forget it.But something inside us rebels. We still want to learn new things and make new things. They don't have to be big things. Coping with too big a challenge can be daunting (令人怯步的). The secret is to be a “micro-master” by perfecting lots and lots of small things — for a big payoff.A micro-mastery is a self-contained unit of doing, complete in itself, but connected to a greater field. You can perfect that single thing and move on to bigger things. A micro-mastery is the way we learn as kids. You never absorb all the fundamentals straight away — you learn one cool thing, then another. Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has written about “flow”—a state in which time seems to be suspended because our involvement in what we're doing is so great. A micro-mastery, because it is repeatable without being repetitious, has all the elements that allow us to enter a flow state，which produces great contentment.As we get older our default setting (默认设置) becomes “off”not “on”.We stop getting interested in new things because we haven't got enough time or energy. This is an excuse but who can blame us when we hear we need 10,000 hours to “master”something. Micro-mastery slices through all the excuses. You start with something so small and easy that it doesn't impact on your life except positively.We envy the person who has a perfect French accent, who can roll a kayak, or compose a poem that isn't laughable, who can lay a brick wall that doesn't fall down. These are regarded as hard things to learn which mean a greater mastery of the field concerned. But with micro-mastery you start with the test piece and then — and only then — do you go back upstream to learn anything more about the new world.Seeing the world in terms of micro-masteries makes anything seem possible. Fancy bookbinding? Yoga? Tap dancing or tank driving? All have their micro-masteries. It's very liberating — you no longer have to feel trapped in your day job. You will start, in a small way, to get your life back from the idea that the world seems to push on us that we should do just one thing all our lives.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种学习方法，从小事做起，然后慢慢积累，一步一步走向成功。

专题限时检测(二十四) 阅读理解D 篇增分练(二)(共2篇，限时20分钟)AThe United Nations Climate Change Conference takes place next week in Poland. About 20,000 people from 190 countries are expected to take part in the conference. There, world leaders will debate how to limit climate change — the weather events linked to slowly rising temperatures on Earth. They will discuss ways to reduce carbon emissions (排放物) and other pollution which, scientists say, can give rise to longterm changes to our planet.For environmentalists, one area of concern is South America's Amazon rainforest. Brazil holds about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest. It is also the most biodiverse country on Earth, with more than 56,000 species of plants, 1,700 species of birds, 695 amphibians, 578 mammals, and 651 reptiles. Studies have shown that the Amazon takes in as much as 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year and releases about 20 percent of Earth's oxygen.Scientists wonder whether the rainforest will be protected under Brazil's next president, Jair Bolsonaro, who began to take office on January 1, 2019. Bolsonaro had said that his country should withdraw from the 2015 Paris Agreement. Under the agreement, most nations promised to reduce carbon emissions by 37 percent over 2005 levels by the year 2030. The presidentelect claims a mandate (授权) from voters to develop land for agriculture and other purposes. He said that Brazil's rainforest protection is standing in the way of economic success.Scientists say deforestation is a major reason for climate change. Studies have linked rising temperatures to the destruction of forests. Scientists worry about the future of the Amazon. New Brazilian government records show the speed of deforestation has increased over the past year.Carlos Nobre, a climate scientist at the University of S a ～o Paulo, told theAssociated Press that it is almost impossible to say just how important the rainforest is to the planet's living systems. Some scientists call the Amazon “the lungs of the planet”. They liken it to human lungs. Each tree takes in and stores carbon dioxide from the air around it. The trees also release the oxygen we need to live. The Amazon, the world's largest rainforest, also creates weather. Billions of trees pull up water through their roots. Then the trees release water vapor into theair. The vapor forms a thick mist, made up of tiny drops of water. These water particlesmove up into the clouds and later return to earth as rain. Scientists estimate thatthe Amazon creates 30 to 50 percent of its own rainfall.During the election campaign, Bolsonaro promised to ease protection for areasof the Brazilian Amazon set aside for native peoples and wildlife. He said thatindigenous lands and nature reserves restrict economic growth.“All these reservescause problems for development，”he said. The presidentelect also talked abouttaking away the power of Brazil's environmental ministry to enforce laws forprotecting the environment.～Paulo Artaxo is a professor of environmental physics at the University of S ao Paul o. He said that if Bolsonaro keeps his campaign promises, then “deforestationof the Amazon will probably increase quickly —and the effects will be felt everywhereon the planet”．However, senatorelect Luiz Carlos Heinze, noted that farmers are not invad ers(侵略者), but producers. He blamed the past administrations for supporting nativerights at the expense of farmers. “Brazil，” he said，“will be the biggest farmingnation on Earth during Bolsonaro's years.”Scientists warn that if the Amazon and other rainforests lose too many trees,this could affect rainfall and global climate. Nobre and others estimate that the“tipping” point (引爆点) for the Amazon system is 20 to 25 percent deforestation.Without enough trees to support the rainfall, the longer and bigger dry season couldturn more than half of the rainforest into a tropical grassland.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

专题限时检测（十七）阅读理解A篇送分练(二)(共5篇，限时25分钟)AELECTRICITY IS AT THE CORE OF MODERN LIFE. DESPITE THIS, THE FULL STORY OF THIS REVOLUTIONARY FORCE HAS REMAINED UNTOLD — UNTIL NOW.Simply Electrifying offers the comprehensive story of one of mankind's most important journeys: from a time when only a few could even imagine a world with electricity to today when, for most of us, a world without electricity would be unimaginable.Since the birth of the modern science of electricity 265 years ago, mankind has built an impressive structure to produce, deliver, and use electricity, thanks to a combination of pioneering science, innovative technology, wise business strategy, and pervasive (到处存在的) economic and environmental regulation.Simply Electrifying brings to life the stories of the people that made it all possible — from early pathfinders like Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein to innovators such as Samuel Morse, Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla. In modern times, business strategists and economic and environmental regulation driven by many, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Rachel Carson, and even President Barack Obama, have shaped how we use and understand electricity in crucial ways. Today, Elon Musk and others are on the edge of again changing the way we think about and interact with it.Simply Electrifying is painstakingly researched and beautifully written, showing us how both profit-makers and policy-makers must use a wide-angle lens to truly understand the past and predict the future.语篇解读：本文是一篇广告，主要介绍了Simply Electrifying这本书。
