09年高考英语二轮阅读理解专项训练9
2009年高考英语阅读理解专项训练——文化类(1)A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.1. From paragraph 1, we can know that in America _________.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their won effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersC. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors.2. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________.A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food3. The expression “ wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_________”.A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurant4. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. A Respectable Self-made FamilyB. American Attitude toward Manual LaborC. Characteristics of American CultureD. The Development of Manual Labor【答案解析】本文介绍了崇尚自我奋斗，尊重体力劳动的美国文化。
09年高考英语二轮阅读理解专项训练13
2009年高考英语阅读理解专项训练——自然类(1)The blue tits(山雀) have been inspecting the nest-box again this year. The male is the house-hunter but the female will make the final choice. He lands at the hole and turns his head to expose his white cheeks as a signal to attract the female from where she has been feeding.Among many birds that nest in holes, the male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage(鸟羽) which acts as signal for drawing the female’s attention to a suitable nesting-place. Unlike the blue tit, the redstart(红尾鸲) may be only the male that strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful.A few years ago I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood. The male was leading an interested female to holes that he had previously(先前) checked out. He sat at the entrance of each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to reveal(显露) his tail.If the female failed to react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while gliding towards her on spread wings and tail. Once the female accepts by following the male through the hole the displays stop, you must be at the right place at the right time to watch them.1. How do the blue tits choose their nest?A. They choose their nest together.B. The male chooses their nest.C. The house-hunter chooses their nest.D. The female chooses their nest.2. The writer was lucky to see ________.A. how the male made his tricksB. how an interested female played with the male happilyC. what the male displayed and won the femaleD. that the male tried his best but failed to attract the female3. You can spot a pair of redstarts in a Walsh wood ________.A. at any timeB. regularlyC. in AprilD. occasionally4. The writer is probably ________.A. a bird expertB. a bird-hunterC. a bird raiserD. a scientist【答案解析】本文主要是讲the male redstart 是怎样使出浑身解数吸引the female入巢的。
09年高考英语第二轮热点专题复习3
2009年高考英语第二轮热点专题复习——动词的时态和语态内容解读1．高考考查的八种动词时态是：①一般现在时；②一般过去时；③一般将来时；④现在进行时；⑤过去进行时；⑥现在完成时；⑦过去完成时；⑧过去将来时。
2．容易混淆的三组动词时态是：①一般过去时和现在完成时；②一般过去时和过去完成时；③过去完成时与现在完成时。
3．各种时态及含情态动词的被动形式和应用。
能力解读1．了解动词时态的时、体概念；2．了解常考八种时态的基本用法并能够在真实的情景中恰当使用八种时态进行交际；3．能够区别容易混淆的时态的用法；4．掌握各种时态及含情态动词的被动语态的形式和应用；①分清动词的词性，熟悉并掌握常见的不及物动词happen, take place, occur, exist 等，它们不能用被动语态；②分清主语与谓语之间的关系；③变被动语态的动词一般为及物动词，但有些不及物动词与介词所形成的短语动词也可有被动形式，此时，变被动语态后介词不能丢；④熟悉并掌握主动形式表被动意义的情况。
规律方法1．试题的立意由简单直接的“结构立意”（如状语从句、宾语从句等）转向了“情景立意”。
试题创设的语境明确，交际情景（对话形式占有一定比例）多是发生在学生学习或日常生活中的真实情况。
这样的情景设置实质上是对语法知识、语义理解和语言交际能力的综合考查，体现了高考试题由“知识立意”向“能力立意”转变人命题原则。
2．题干中的有效信息由“外显的”转向“隐藏的”。
3．试题的设问多以中学生普遍感到难以把握的几组时态来相互干扰。
命题趋势毫无疑问，对于动词时态的考查仍交进高考的测试重点。
试题将继续呈现“情景立意”和“能力立意”的原则，即在考查固定句式中的时态和语态的同时，注重在上下文中考查时态和语态，注重在语境中考查时态和语态。
突破方法1．学习动词的时态和语态时，切不可脱离实际运用的语言，一味死记硬背语法规则的条条框框。
了解了八种时态的一些常见规则之后，要留心以英语为母语者在实际生活中是如何使用各种时态的语态的。
2009高考英语第二轮复习专题阅读理解
2009高考英语第二轮复习专题阅读理解一、题型解读从2009年英语科《考试大纲》对考生阅读理解能力测试的要求看，09年高考英语阅读理解的命题思路会依然保持稳定，突出“得体地使用英语的能力；用英语获取和处理信息的能力；用英语分析问题和解决问题的能力以及批判性思维的能力”。
按体裁划分，英语的阅读理解文章可分为记叙文、应用文、说明文和议论文，其中记叙文包括新闻报道、人物传记等，应用文包括广告、通知、申请书、图表文章等，说明文中科普类文章在高考试题中出现的比较频繁，议论文包括文化、历史、教育、文学，还有社科类题材。
1.记叙文全品高考网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、发展和结局展开叙述。
记叙文的阅读要注意：1)注重对人物和事件的分析。
了解记叙文的六要素，即时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、发展和结果，从整体上把握文章的内容2)理清文章的线索。
记叙文都有一个贯穿全文的线索，以人物、事件、行踪为线索，或以人物的思想感情变化为线索。
分析线索有利于把握文章的行文思路和文章的结构3)弄清文章的记叙顺序4)分析各种描写的方法并理解不同方法对不同主题的表达作用全品高考网5)注意分析记叙文中的议论和抒情文字2.议论文议论文是高考英语阅读理解中必考的体裁，文章内容涉及人文类题材，如文化、历史、教育、风俗习惯，以及社会科学类，如社会学、心理学、经济学，以及自然科学、生命科学等。
在做这类阅读理解试题时要注意把握文章的论点、论据和论证。
议论文的文章一般来说有一定的难度，试题多为观点辨认题、推理判断题、写作宗旨题和细节理解题，解题时要立足语篇，寻找与试题有关的关键词句，把握文章的内涵，不能主观臆断或凭空想象，更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点。
3.应用文高考英语阅读理解的内容更生活化、信息化、时代化，较多涉及广告等应用文体。
应用文是贴近生活的文体，包括广告、通知、申请书、图表文章等，形式多样，题材各异，是英语阅读理解中出现得较多的文体。

（A）A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of? him. When the final student was seated he picked up a large and empty glass bottle and proceeded tofill it with rocks about 2 inches in diameter(直径). He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.He then picked up a box of pebbles（鹅卵⽯）and added them to jar, shaking it lightly. The pebbles , of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. "Is the jar filled now?" "Yes," the students said.But then he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into the bottle. The sand filled in everything else. Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.The professor then took two cans of beer from a bag at the side of the desk and opening them both, poured their entire contents into the jar. The students roared at this demonstration.After the laughter subsided the professor spoke again: "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things in your life; your family, your partner, your health, your children...things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, yourlife would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter... like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.""The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, or rewire the lamp.Take care of the rocks first...the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The else is just sand."After the impact of what he had said settled, one of the students raised her handand __________"I'm glad you asked." he replied."

2009年高考英语第二轮热点专题复习——阅读理解考情动态分析多年来阅读理解一直是高考英语测试的重头戏。
近几年的高考考试说明反复强调：阅渎是我国学生接触英语的最主要途径，也是高中外语教学的重点，在试卷设计和试题难度方面应该予以重视。
这一观点在近几年的高考试题中得到了充分的体现。
全卷l 50分，阅读理解占40分，更何况其他题型如完形填空、短文改错甚至单项选择等都是对阅读理解能力的间接考查。
没有人会怀疑今后相当长的时间内阅读理解能力仍将是高考考查的重点。
可以毫不夸张地说，做好阅读理解题，是获得高考英语高分的关键！1．高考对阅读理解的要求(1)《考试大纲》对阅读理解的要求：要求考生能读懂一般性话题的简短文字材料，例如公告、说明、广告以及书、报、杂志中的简短文章。
考生应能：①理解主旨大意；②寻找具体信息；③识别不同文体特征；④根据上下文提供的语境推测生词词义；⑤作出简单的判断和推理；⑥理解文章的基本逻辑结构；⑦把握作者的意图和态度；⑧理解文章的文化信息。
(2)《新课程标准》对阅读理解的目标要求：《新课程标准》在语言技能部分中对“读”的八级目标是这样要求的：①能识别不同文体的特征；②能通过分析句子结构理解难句和长旬；③能理解阅读材料中不同的观点和态度；④能根据学习任务的需要从多种媒体中获取信息并进行加工处理；⑤能在教师的帮助下欣赏浅显的英语文学作品；⑥除教材外，课外阅读量应累计达到30万词以上。
2．近几年高考阅读理解的题型设置、命题特点及预测(1)题型设置阅读理解是历年高考英语的必考题型，在整个试卷中占的分值最大。
一般是4～5篇短文，共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分。
阅读理解的主要考查题型有：①细节理解：主要考查对支持文章主题细节的理解，以考查考生准确理解细节的能力。
一篇文章必须通过许多细节的信息来解释或表达主题，体现主题思想。
弄懂这些细节对于理解全文的作用是不容忽视的。
因此要在阅读时准确把握所提供的信息。
这类考题是比较直接的，理解字面意思就可答题，有时则是比较间接的．要通过归纳、综合才能得出答案。
②词义理解：主要考查对文章中某些单词或词组的扩展意义的理解，以考查考生根据上下文对词义理解的能力。
此题型要求考生正确理解文章中个别关键词句的含义．其中有词语替换或句型转换的表层理解题．也有联系全文意义来判断有关词句含义及寓意的深层理解题。
一般情况下．考生认真辨析各项含义后即可选出正确答案：但也有些试题要求联系全文意思才能判断其含义及寓意．做题时耍反复推敲，特别要理解该词在文章中前后句的意思。
③推理判断：主要考查对文章某个细节或事实的延伸理解，以考查考生根据文章事实作出推理判断的能力。
此题型要求考生纵观全文．在汇集全文提供的各项信息的基础上，进行正确的逻辑推理．判断作者的意向．人物的动机、目的、性格特征．事件的前因后果．语言中的语气等。
此类题属于深层理解题，要做好此类题．必须透彻理解全文，认真探究句意，注意逻辑关系及有关的生活常识。
每篇文章都有一定的写作目的．作者往往期待读者渎了文章后知道该怎样去做某些事情或按某种方式去思考问题。
这层意思通常并不是在文章中明确表达出来．而是隐含在文章中。
考生要在通渎全文的基础上去领会作者的言外之意．对原文中没有提及的情况进行推理想像．对题目中提出的各种可能性进行推敲，从而得出与原文所给信息相吻合的、合乎逻辑的最佳答案。
④主旨大意：主要考查对文章的主题思想、大意的理解，以考查考生整体理解文章、把握文章主旨大意的能力。
此题分为两大类型：一类是要求考生在理解全文后归纳短文要点，概括中心思想。
这时要特别注意文章的第一句或最后一句．或者第一段。
第一段往往是故事的梗概，表达了主题思想。
另一类是概括文章的话题或议题，即高度概括文章所涉及的中心内容。
话题往往可用很少几个词加以概括。
困难的是有时为了行文需要，可能涉及数个话题。
这时要注意分析比较，弄清哪是最重要的中心话题，哪是次要话题。
⑤图形识别：主要考查根据文章内容对地图、图表的理解，以考查对图形的理解能力。
(2)命题特点①阅读材料的选择贴近生活，广泛多样近六年阅读短文题材一览表(以全国卷I为例)从短文的选材上看，文章的内容都非常贴近生活，非常现代，重视实用，特别强调时代气息。
重视语言文化背景，所涉及的内容非常广泛，有一定的知识性、趣味性和思想性，体裁多样。
重在语言知识的实际的应用。
②近五六阅读理解试题词汇量的相关数据：从上表可以看出，高考阅读量与阅读速度近五年来保持基本稳定，基本上符合《全日制普通高级中学英语教学大纲》上“二级目标与要求”所规定的要求。
能以每分钟70~80个词的速度，读懂生词率不超过3％的材料，应付高考还是绰绰有余的。
③所选短文多是外国人写的反映外国事物的内容，文章结构严谨，逻辑性强，英语语言地道、标准，话题适合当代中学生。
④问题的设置科学合理，检测重点放在考查考生获取信息、解决问题的语言运用能力上。
(3)高考预测通过对近几年高考试题的分析，加上某些省份《新课程标准》的试用，可知今后阅读理解题的命题趋向：①更加重视词汇量的扩大，注意新增词汇；②更加重视语篇分析、推测能力，而减少对事实、细节的考查；③更加重视阅读量和阅读速度；④采用原版英文材料，内容新颖，语言更加地道⑤取材更加广泛，题材和体裁更加灵活多样。
真题回放例2008(I)It is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don‟t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.Don‟t‟ use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don‟t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.—Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water.
