专题限时集训(八) 主旨大意之确定文章标题A(2020·衡水市第一次联考)The world's first hydrogenpowered trains have begun running in Germany. They began carrying passengers Monday in Germany's northern Lower Saxony.The new train will run 100kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 k ilometers an hour.A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains.Teams in Germany and France cooperated on the project，which was supported by the German government.The new train model，called the Coradia iLint，signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollutionproducing diesel(柴油) trains.The Coradia iLint is designed to run on nonelectrified train lines with low levels of noise.It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power.If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time，it can store the extra energy in batteries.The only emissions(排放物) are water and steam.A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1，000 kilometers.This is very similar to the distance a dieselpowered train can run on a single tank of diesel.Hydrogenpowered trains cost more than diesel trains to build，but Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower.The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2021.The head of railroad operations in the area，Carmen Schwab，praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen trains.She said the move was an important first step in using cleanburning technologies to reach climate protectio n goals.Officials say many of the area's wind turbines(涡轮机) will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains.Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems.France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operating by 2022.【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普类说明文。

高考全国卷英语阅读理解专项训练（八）广告类应用文5篇1European Day of Languages falls on 26 September. BBC News Online reported the attitudes across several European Union countries to languages.Tamsin Smith, Rome, ItalyItalians attach very high importance to language learning, particularly English. Twenty years ago it was quite difficult to find an English speaker here but today it is quite easy. The strong influence of American and English culture helps young people to learn the English language. They often become familiar with it through Harry Potter books or Disney movies. English schools, where Italian children are taught all their lessons in English, are also becoming popular among rich Italians.Lucien Libert, Paris, FranceLanguages are very important in France. A good knowledge of the English language is necessary for many Frenchmen to get a good job and the more languages you can learn, the better. English is the first language you learn in school and you start very young. Most people have at least eight years of English learning at school. Learning German or Spanish comes next and Latin is also taught in most schools. While French people learn languages, there is also a movement to protect the French language.James Helm, Dublin, IrelandThe English language predominates in Ireland, but the ancient Irish language is a lasting source of pride and interest, and it remains a living tongue that is used in several areas. Schools are required to teach ancient Irish, and most students learn it as part of the subjects. There is a continuing discussion about how to protect the language best. In recent years some primary schools have introduced foreign language classes for younger students, and the Irish government has tried to encourage schools to offer more languages such as French, Spanish, German and Italian.21. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Tamsin Smith?A. English learning in Italy has been popular for more than a century.B. Some popular books and movies help young Italian people with their English a lot.C. Only children from rich families like to learn English in Italy.D.

Since then, it has grown to cover 104km.Folgaria is proud of its history and culture. You’re unlikely to hear English spoken here and in some bars, it won’t even be Italian, but Cimbro, the ancient so uthern Bavarian language brought to these mountains by settlers. It’s also reflected in the food culture. Pure local mountain honey is a key element(原料) of many of the desserts. You can enjoy it when you come to ski. Beyond the bars, restaurants and a few small hotels, the community is also seeking to develop mountain biking.Where to eat?Chocolate and ice-cream are served at La Baita del Gelato, and they also serve the pizza, made with local cheese(€6.50).Where to stay?The modern three-star Hotel Luna Bianca is one of the most popular hotels in Folgaria, with big, clean rooms, and good service. The ski bus stops outside the front door. Half-board(住宿含早餐和正餐) doubles from €360 for three nights.The ski resort has 104km of runs with 22 lifts.

Although it’s small enough to fit into your pocket, the Mini Vax is very powerful and you’ll be amazed at how much dust and dirt it manages to suck up(吸取) from your computer keyboard.

另附高考复习方法和考前30天冲刺复习方法。
[技法指导]在做完形填空题时,学生只有先明确全篇的行文脉络,抓住主干上,才能有理有据地去补全设空部分;也只有掌握了全文的逻辑关系才能理清句间的起承转合,抓住上下文逻辑关系进行逐一解题。
如果在把握行文脉络上出现偏差,结果就会造成部分题目的失分。
我们做完形填空要遵循4个原则：1.上下一致。
每个选择项必须从全文出发,避免孤立地分析每一空格,造成误选。
2.语法正确。
从语法的角度去考虑动词的时态、语态以及词类用法。
3.逻辑合理。
在完形填空题中,逻辑推理非常重要,有时每个选择项从语法上讲都正确,但是有的是不符合语境逻辑的。
4.符合搭配。
英语中固定搭配很多,需要熟练掌握,才能做好此类题目。
【示例】本文的发展脉络:作者的丈夫患糖尿病→在路边发病→两个年轻人提供帮助→作者的丈夫停止呼吸→有位医生主动帮助做人工呼吸和胸部按压→救护车到达→心脏开始跳动→上了救护车→作者心怀感激。
2020年高考英语阅读理解专题训练及解析(八)(8篇)
2020年高考英语阅读理解专题训练及解析（八）（8篇）（一）Are you looking forward to watching some great films in this summer? Here are four films you won't miss.Wonder WomanWonder Woman is this summer's most exciting film. Though being a superhero film, it is the most unique: you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot. On general release from 1 June.The MummyTom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now become a mummy. Cruise jumps from the sky, runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag — but it's Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention. Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy: “If you look at her eyes, there's a whole performance going on here. Even not saying anything, she can convey something ver y emotional to you.” On general release from 8 June.Baby DriverAnsel Elgort is a getaway driver, who is forced to work for a crime boss. This is a action-romantic-comedy from British writer-director Edgar Wright. The sound in the film is as great as the visuals, which makes it much like a musical, but it is quite different from La La Land. Baby Driver isn't just a series of song pieces. Instead, it finds its form in the elegant, rapidfire combination of movement and sound. Released on 28 June in Canada and the US.A Man Called OveThis film has become one of Sweden's most popular comedies. In the film a lonely retiree who has given up on life, was trying to kill himself, but all his attempts failed. Meanwhile, he developed an unlikely friendship with his neighbors. It is really a tearjerker (催人泪下的电影), which is funny, tragic, and heartwarming as well. Released on 25 May in Hong Kong, 30 June in the UK.语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。
