2020版新高考英语考前保分训练江苏版练习：专题3 阅读理解 第5节
第5节 文学作品题组训练一1话题：小说介绍难度：★★★建议用时：15分钟How is it that sunlight gives us such joy？Why does this bright light when it falls on the earth fill us with the joy of living？The whole sky is blue，the fields are green，the houses are all white，and our eyes drink in those bright colors which bring delight to our souls.And then there springs up in our hearts a desire to dance，to run，to sing，a happy lightness of thought；we feel a desire to take the sun in our arms.The blind，as they sit in the doorways，expressionless in their everlasting darkness，remain as calm as ever in the midst of this fresh joy，not understanding what is taking place around them.I knew one of these men.As long as his father and mother lived，he was more or less taken care of；but as soon as the old people were gone，a terrible life started for him.Dependent on a sister of his，everybody in the farmhouse treated him as a beggar.Although his brother-in-law had taken possession of his share of the inheritance(遗产)，he was helped only to soup，getting just enough to save him from starvation.His face was very pale with two big white eyes.He remained unmoved at all the bad remarks on him，so unkind that one could not tell whether he felt them.Moreover，his mother had always treated him unkindly and cared very little for him；for in country places useless persons are considered a trouble，and the peasants would be glad to kill the weak of their species，as chickens do.As soon as he finished his soup，he went and sat outside the door in summer and in winter beside the fireside，and did not move again all the evening.For some years things went on in this fashion.But his incapacity for work eventually angered his relatives.At last he was forced to beg.But the peasants weren’t generous，and for weeks he didn’t bring back a penny.One winter the ground was covered with snow，and it was freezing hard.His brother-in-law led him one morning a great distance in order that he might do his job better.The blind man was left there all day；When night came on，the brother-in-law told the people of his house that he couldn’t find the beggar.Then he added：“Never fear！He’ll turn up soon enough tomorrow to eat the soup.” But he never came back.After long hours of waiting，feeling that he was dying from coldness，the blind man began to walk.Being unable to find his way along the road，his only object being to find some house where he could take shelter.But the falling snow made him unable to walk farther，so he sat downin the middle of an open field.He did not get up again.The snow which fell continuously buried him，and nothing was left to indicate the place where he lay.His relatives made a pretence(假象) of searching for him for about a week.They even made a show of weeping.The winter was severe，and the snow didn’t melt quickly.One Sunday，some farmers noticed a great flight of crows，which were flying above the open field，and then falling like a shower of black rain at the same spot，ever going and coming.The following week these birds were still there.A young fellow went to see what they were doing and discovered the body of the blind man，already half eaten.And I can never feel the glad rays of light of sunlit days without sadly remembering and thinking about the fortune of the blind man who was such an abandoned person in life that his horrible death even made all who had known him greatly relieved.语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文，节选于法国作家莫泊桑的小说《瞎子》。

2020届高考英语江苏版二轮习题：第三篇 考前20天 任务型阅读专练4篇
任务型阅读专练4篇Passage 1(2018江苏)How Arts Promote Our EconomyWhen most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning performance in the theater. But arts groups bring broader value to our communities. The economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged.The arts create jobs that help develop the economy. Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills.Another group of folks is needed to help market the event.“If you build it they will come”is a misleading belief. Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and promote the event. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full-or part-time employees or independent contractors.A successful arts neighborhood creates a ripple effect(连锁反应) throughout a community. In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the building, we began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs in 2008. Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.No doubt the theater has contributed to the area’s development and economic growth. Today, there are galleries, studios, restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences, where there is renewed life and energy. In this way, arts and culture also serve as a public good.TeCo Theatrical Productions Inc. made use of Bloomberg’s investment of $35,000 to get nearly $400,000 in public and private sector support during the two-year period.Further, Dallas arts and arts-based businesses produce$298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a metro area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an economic impact of almost $3 billion and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry, including accountants, marketers, construction workers, hotel managers, printers, and other kinds of art workers.The arts are efficient economic drivers and when they are supported, the entire small-business community benefits.It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. But in order to stay in business, arts groups must produce returns. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B. But those who truly understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.答案[语篇解读]本文为说明文。

A．People from Spain. B．People from France.C．People from the USA. D．People from China.解析：选A 细节理解题。
在整篇文章的右上角，(一个女人的画像下面)此部分内大部分是西班牙语，但是英文和数字“Spain only” “78”可知西班牙单价78欧，而不论欧洲还是其他地区，单价都高于78欧元，可知西班牙订购是最便宜的。
2．How much will your school pay for one set of Hot English for students and one for teachers for class use totally?A.185.4.B.217.8.C.267.8.D.235.4.解析：选 C 细节理解题。
首先题目问的是“your school”，而我们是中国学生，符合文章中的ROW (rest of the world)，因此单价为108.9欧元，此外题目中表明老师买后是要给全班用的“for class use”，由文章最后一部分可知，是需要额外支付50欧元。
108.9×2＋50＝267.8欧元。
因此选C。
B(2019·苏、锡、常、镇二模)In Florida, a group of parents known as “the break moms” has been fighting to pass a law guaranteeing the state's elementaryschool students at least 20 minutes of daily free play.In a survey of schooldistrict administrators, roughly a third said theirdistricts had reduced outdoor play in the early 2000s.Disadvantaged kids have been the most likely to be shortchanged (克扣)．According to a 2003 study, just 56 percent of children living at or below the poverty line had break, compared with 83 percent of those above the poverty line; a similar disparity (差异) existed between black children and their white peers.The benefits of break might seem obvious — time to run around helps kids stay fit.But a large body of research suggests that it also promotes cognition (认知)．Many studies have found that regular exercise improves mental function and academic performance.And an analysis of studies that focused specifically on break found positive associations between physical activity and the ability to concentrate in class.In one series of experiments, researchers controlled break start times.Some days children were let out at 10 a．m., and other days at 10：30.The kids' attentiveness decreased when they had to wait longer for break, and refreshed themselves after they played.And when fourthgraders in a breakfree school w ere given a weekly break, another group of researchers found that they had an easier time staying on task and were much less restless.These experimental findings are supported by an analysis of 10,000 questionnaires filled out by thirdgrade teachers: Even a single 15minute daily break was connected with morepositive ratings of classroom behavior.Perhaps most important, break allows children to design their own games, to test their abilities, to roleplay, and to settle their own conflicts —activities that are key to developing social skills and managing complicated situations.Initial results from an ongoing study in Texas suggest that elementaryschool children who are given four 15minute breaks a day are significantly more sympathetic toward their peers than are kids who don't get break.A．Pupils' lack of outdoor play.B．Poor school management.C．Absence of education laws.D．Inequality among students.解析：选A 细节理解题。
