高考复习(英语)专项练习:(阅读理解)细节理解题——间接信息类【含答案及解析】

考点分类练(二)细节理解题——间接信息类A(2021·山东日照一模)A Bangladeshi boy has won the International Children’s Peace Prize for his work to fight cyberbullying(网络欺凌) in his country.The prize winner, Sadat Rahman, promised to keep fighting online abuse until it no longer exists.“The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a fearless fighter,” Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony. He added,“If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying.”Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report relevant cases. He said he began his work on the project after hearing the story of a 15-year-old girl who took her own life as a result of cyberbullying.“I will not stop until we receive no more cases through the app,” Rahman said at the ceremony.The award comes with a fund of over $118,000, which is invested by the KidsRights Foundation. The group chooses projects to support the causes that are closely linked to the winner’s work.Past well-known winners of the prize include Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. And the students who organised the March for Our Lives event in 2018 after a deadly mass shooting at their school in the American state of Florida also won the prize.Yousafzai praised Rahman’s work during the ceremony. She spoke through video conferencing.“All children have the right to be protected from violence no matter if it is physical or mental, offline or online,” she said.“Cyberbullying is a violation of that right.”1.What does Sadat Rahman devote himself to?A.Battling online violence.B.Helping poor children.C.Being a brave fighter.D.Removing school bullying.2.What caused Sadat Rahman to start his project?A.People’s lack of education.B.His own experience of being bullied.C.A girl’s death from cyberbullying.D.The wide use of mobile phone apps.3.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A.The March for Our Lives event.B.Human rights activists in the world.C.A horrible school shooting.D.Some previous winners of the prize.4.What can we infer from Yousafzai’s words?A.Rahman’s efforts have paid off.B.Cyberbullying should be got rid of.C.All children have the right to fight against violence.D.Children are faced with physical and mental bullying.B(2021·广东肇庆三模)True, people remember what you wear. After a social event, we all remember the woman in red, or the man with the top hat. But in terms of making a good impression, being memorable is not just about novelty or fashion, but attraction, both physical and emotional.In a 2020 study, Andre Ndobo found people tended to remember the extremes: both attractive and unattractive faces. He acknowledged that one suggested explanation was that both are characterised by distinctive features that promote facial recognition when compared with faces of average attractiveness. But while distinctiveness is memorable, beauty is skin-deep. Accordingly, the way you are remembered by others is often not about what you wear and how you look but about the way you make people feel.Professional interaction can create positive personal memories. Adrie A.Koehler, in a piece entitled “In the Eye of the Beholder” (2017), found that when asked to recall their best learning experience, many students discussed a memorable teacher. What made the teachers memorable? According to the students, memorable qualities included not only teaching styles, but also interpersonal skills and positive qualities such as a sense of humour.We can relate to the results of this study when recalling people who are memorable in our own lives. They are not always people who we believed to be the smartest or most believed, but often those who made us feel the most comfortable, and who were most interested in us. Sincere interest is uniquely attractive. Not only will you remember what someone said, but they will also remember you.Regardless of what we wear or how we look, we are always naturally more appealing and approachable when we focus on others and when we are genuine rather than simply sociable. Remember that, and others will remember you.5.Why is an unattractive face remembered according to Andre Ndobo?A.It creates positive memories.B.There’s something special about it.C.It makes people feel uncomfortable.D.People often try hard to avoid seeing it.6.What can we infer from the text?A.Smart people are especially attractive.B.Teaching styles impress students most.C.The best learning experience is hard to gain.D.Sincere attention is useful in communication.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.You are what you wearB.Mind the impression you makeC.How can we improve our self-image?D.What do people remember about you?C(2021·吉林高三下学期第三次调研)In an effort to fight the throw-away culture and promote reuse and repair, the city of Berlin has taken the unique step of opening its own second-hand department store.This isn’t your grandma’s thrift shop. It resells perfectly good items that would otherwise be thrown away. B-Wa(h)renhaus sells a wide variety of products. Far from simply selling old items, the electronic goods have been fixed by expert technicians and come with a year’s guarantee. And, to reach more second-hand shoppers, the store was set up right in the middle of the famous Karstadt department store.With the success of its initial six-month trial run, the city plans to open four more similar operations in other parts of Berlin. By 2030, it hopes to have at least one location in each of Berlin’s 12 districts. Since 2008, city policies and educational campaigns have reduced average annual household waste by about 25 pounds per resident. It also recycles about 49% of its mineral construction waste. Currently, the city estimates that 8% of abandoned electronic goods and 6% of huge items thrown away can actually be reused. The goal is to expand the market for these items beyond the usual bargain hunters and eco-conscious consumers.“Three years ago, we started collecting all kinds of used goods,” city spokesperson Dorothee Winden said,“There are lots of things that are well-preserved but aren’t being used anymore. The goal is to give these things a new life with somebody who can use them.” The store also includes an education centre to encourage more sustainable lifestyles, and gives an award to a project that recycles school uniforms, so that parents don’t have to buy new ones every year.8.Why has Berlin opened its own second-hand department store?A.To attract more shoppers.B.To promote recycling.C.To promote traditional culture.D.To sell insurance.9.In which aspect is B-Wa(h)renhaus different from the traditional second-hand store?A.The variety of the goods.B.The location of the store.C.The quality of the products.D.The operation of the store.10.What can we infer from paragraph 3?A.Berlin currently has 4 second-hand stores in construction.B.Berlin has been successful in cutting its waste since 2008.C.It is not easy to make the goal to expand the market a reality.D.It is estimated that Berlin will be a zero-waste city by 2030.11.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A.To introduce Berlin’s new second-hand store operation.B.To raise people’s awareness of reasonable shopping.C.To persuade people to become eco-friendly shoppers.D.To encourage more people to donate to second-hand shops.考点分类练(二)细节理解题——间接信息类【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。

2023届高考英语阅读理解指导 细节理解题 定位信息找答案 讲义

英语阅读理解指导细节理解题——定位信息找答案一、题型特点需了解(一)明命题,懂考查方式和考查角度[命题解读]1.命题人员会要求学生根据不同的要求阅读文章,以获得某些特定的信息或准确地寻找所需的细节。
2.细节理解题有时比较直接,理解字面意思即可答题;有时则较为间接,需要归纳、概括和推理才能答题。
细节理解题占阅读理解总题量的60%左右,是最重要的得分点。
[考查特点]1.把握细节理解题常见的考查方式。
(1)特殊疑问句形式:以when,where,what,which,who,how much/many 等疑问词开头引出的问题;(2)填空题形式:通常涉及与主题有关的事实或细节;(3)就文中数字、排序等进行提问。
2.掌握细节理解题的考查角度。
(1)高频考点:直接信息题、间接信息题。
(2)低频考点:数字计算题、正误判断题、细节排序题。
(二)细节理解题的解题捷径采用寻读法,解题分三步:(1)先读题干,抓住关键词。
(2)带着问题快速阅读文章,找出与问题有关的词语或句子。
(3)仔细对比选项和原文信息,继而找出答案。
(三)细节理解题的正确选项特征同义替换①指对原文句子中的关键词进行同义替换,如把lose one's job换成be out of work。
②有些细节理解题把原文中的一些词变换一下词性,如把important变换成of importance。
③改变原文中句子的语态,如主动语态与被动语态的转换信息归纳用精炼的语言来概括原文中比较分散或复杂的信息,设置为正确答案正话反说把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项原文原词利用原文原词作为正确选项(四)细节理解题的干扰选项特征张冠李戴是原文信息,但不是题目要求的内容无中生有符合常识,但不是文章的内容曲解文意与原文的内容极其相似,只是在某个细节处有些变动颠倒是非在意思上与原文大相径庭,甚至完全相反正误参半部分正确,部分错误二、方法技巧要知晓题型一直接信息题在解答直接信息题时,可以采取“关键词定位法”,即“带着问题找答案”的方法,通过定位找题眼[典例](2022·全国乙卷)Admission£4.Children under 12 years accompanied by an adult are admitted free.22.How much would a couple with two children under 12 pay for admission?A.£4.B.£8.C.£12.D.£16. [解析]本题是直接信息题。
(完整word)高考英语阅读理解细节理解类型题

1.题型特点与命题方式所谓细节题,是指原文提到了某事物、现象或理论,题干针对原文具体叙述本身发问。
一般包括直接理解题(在原文中可直接找到答案,常用who, what, when, where, why和how等提问。
)、语义转化题(需要将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语义上的转换,两者存在表达上的差异,有时需要进行加工或整理后方能得出结论)、数字计算题、排列顺序题、图表图画题等抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键,也是做好其他类型问题的基础。
这类题型的题干常为:When / Where did the story happen?Which of the following statements is (NOT) correct?Which of the following statements is (NOT) mentioned in the passage?Which is the right order of the events given in the passage?All the statements are true EXCEPT…该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息,或是其变体。
所以,搜查信息在阅读中非常重要,它包括理解作者在叙述某事时使用的具体事实、数据、图表等细节信息。
在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。
做这类题一般采用寻读法,即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案。
2.解题思路与应试技巧细节题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题,正确答案的根据一定可以在原文中找到,即原文的改写往往成为正确选项。
通常细节题的正确选项有以下特征:(1)对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。
把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词,成为正确选项。
(2)词性或者语态的变化。
把原文中的一些词变换一下词性,或者改变原文句子的语态,给考生制造障碍。

A member to be admitted into the project should ________.A. know English and Spanish wellB. have college certificatesC. be over 17 with enthusiasmD. afford a holiday of one year〔注意:根据题目直接定位,如何将题目中的关键信息进行提取〕BA U.S. dad quit his job, giving up a massive salary, after his 10-year-old daughter gave him a 22-point list outlining all the events he missed so far during the year. As the CEO of the $2 trillion global investment fund PIMCO, Mohamed El-Erian shocked the finance industry when he quit in January.El-Erian said it was about a year ago when he was repeatedly asking his daughter to brush her teeth, but she wasn’t listening. When he asked her why, she responded with a list of 22 milestones he had missed: like the first day of school and the first soccer game of the season.“And the school year wasn’t yet over,” El-Erian wrote. “I felt awful and got defensive: I had a good excuse for each missed event! Travel, important meetings, and urgent phone call, sudden to-dos. But it dawned on me that I was missing an infinitely more important point. My work-life balance had gotten out of whack, and the imbalance was hurting my very special relationship with my daughter. I was not making enough time for h er.” El-Erian explained he was struggling with the same thing so many parents do—work-life balance.Dads who are quitting their profit-making jobs to improve work-life balance is a subject that is getting more traction as some high-profile executive have recently written about their experiences.Last month, former MongoDB CEO Max Schireson wrote a blog post for Time about his decision to step ’s top job. He wrote that he struggled to make time for his three children because he was flying around half a million kilometres a year for work.“I was not with my kids when our puppy was hit by a car, or when my son had an emergency surgery,” Schireson wrote.On an overnight flight to Texas he woke up in Arizona to discover the plane made an emergency landing and some traumatized crew members had to be replaced. He decided it was time to address his work-life balance.Quitting is something El-Erian and Schireson were financially able to do, but El-Erian recognizes most people don’t have this luxurye mployees.El-Erian now manages “a portfolio of part-time jobs” that don’t require as much travel. He alternates morningswith his wife taking their daughter to school and he often picks her up from school.“So far, it’s been the right decision for me,” he wrote. “I’m so grateful that this is providing me greater opportunity to experience key moments in my daughter’s life before they’re all too quickly gone.”60. What can be inferred from the passage?〔每个选项可能存在的错误是什么?〕A. It’s never too late to see ch ildren grow up healthily.B. Many working parents can balance their career and family life well.C. CEOs are occupied with work and have no time for their family.D. Parents’ love cannot be replaced by money or jobs.CWith only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone〔克隆〕 the animal and save the endangered species〔物种〕. That’s a move similar to what a Texas A & M Universityresearchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos〔胚胎〕, semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should die out, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in TexasA & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks toreintroduce the species in the future.It is estimated extinctThis week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.“The nuclear transfer〔核子移植〕 of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do sev eral hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy 〔having a baby〕.〔猜词〕 It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds K raemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that f ace extinction 〔灭绝〕. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”64. From the passage we know that _______.〔四个选项可能存在的错误是什么〕A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dogB. scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbitC. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researchesD. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a centuryCCopying is also suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. Couples might choose to have a copy of a film star, baseball player or scientist, depending on their interest. But because personality is only partly the result of genetic inheritance 〔基因遗传〕, conflicts original. What if the copy of Einstein shows no interest in science? Or the baseball player turns to acting? Success also depends upon fortune. What if the child does not live up to the hopes and dreams of the parents simply because of bad luck?65. W hat, in the author’s opinion, affects the success of parents’ dreams?〔如何将题目的关键信息提取出来〕A. The efforts of the parents.B. The cloned child’s personality.C. The cloned child’s interest in Einstein.D. The cloned child’s natural talent.AWhen t raveling, it’s important to learn about the customs and etiquette of the global village. What we consider polite behavior at home isn't always accepted outside our borders.Etiquette of Gift GivingGift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands, don't purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky. Becareful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship break up. Traditionally, red carnations are placed on the tombs of the dead. Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of your pen's ink color. Writing a person's name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed away-an important point to remember when giving a birthday card.Eating Customs’t use the salt shaker 〔盐瓶〕. It's insulting to your host to spread salt on your food, which means that you find the meal terrible. Japan is a very polite nation, and their fondness for etiquette extends to the use of chopsticks. According to Japanese custom, if you're in the middle of eating, use the opposite end of your chopsticks to secure food from a shared plate. When doing business in Turkey, it’s the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Requests to split the bill won’56. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Giving a fancy kitchen knife to a friend from Russia is a good choice.B. You can use blue ink to write notes to your friend from South Korea.C. Dining with Japanese, one can use either end of the chopsticks to get food from shared plates.D. Invited to a meal, one should arrive earlier to show respect for the host.BRecently the barbican museum in London held an exhib ition called the rain room. “rain room@ the barbican!” and a location attachment to prove that they were indeed in the rain room.This got me thinking. What were people actually saying by Tweeting about their visit? I think all they were doing was fulfilling the obligation that we have to share. Not sharing in the sense of treasuring a moment with people close to us, but sharing in the sense of “tell the world that I am doing a thing”.It’s not sharing; it’s showing off. When we log in to Facebook or Twit ter we see an infinitely updating stream of people enjoying themselves. It’s not real life, because people only post about the good things whereas all the dull or deep stuff doesn’t get mentioned. But despite this obvious fact, it subconsciously makes us f eel like everyone is having a better time than us.This is the curse of our age. We walk around with the tools to capture extensive data about our surroundings and transmit them in real-time to every friend we’ve made. We end up with a reduced understandin g of reality because we’re more concerned about choosing a good Instagram filter〔过滤器〕 for our meal than how it tastes.I don’t think that it’s inherently wrong to want to keep the world updated about that you’re doing. But when you go through life robotica lly posting about everything you do, you’re not a human being. You’re just a prism that takes bits of light and sound and channels them into the cloud.The key thing to remember is that you are not enriching your experiences by sharing them online; you are detracting from them because all your efforts are focused on making the look attractive to other people. Once you stop seeing things through the eyes of the people following you on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, you can make your experiences significant, because you were there and you saw the sights and smelled the smells and heard the sounds, not snapped a photo of it through a half-inch camera lens.60. It seems to the author that ___________.A. Facebook or Twitter is a good place where we share personal experienceB. people seldom show depressing stuff on the social networking websitesC. most of people tend to show off that they are having a better time than othersD. sharing experience on the social networking websites is not real lifeC“Tear them apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee!”react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual behavior. I see the term “opponent”The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “enemy”, or “one who opposes your interests.” Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. I remember an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player went away to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then screamed, “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the effect that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent's intentional and illegal blocking by hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which differs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated〔提升〕the game to the level where it belongs, setting an exampleto the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be a good way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “friend” or “” You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent”.62. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed to change his gloves?A. He refused to continue the game.B. He angrily hit the referee with a ball.C. He insisted that the referee was unfair.D. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.63. According to the passage, players in a game may ______.A. throw the ball at the opponent illegally blocking their wayB. keep on screaming and shouting throughout the gameC. 1ie down on the ground as an act of protectionD. kick the ball across the court with forceC—sand, obviously water, clay and salt. Together these materials form a structure resembling a house of cards, with large water-filled gaps between the sand particles, which are loosely glued in place by the clay. As long as it’s left alone, the structure remains stabl e. But as soon as it’’s enough salt present, as soon as the clay particles liquefy, electrical charges make them begin to stick together to form bigger particles and these also settle with the sand. Quicksand is a mixture which looks like solid, but behaves more like a liquid.Despite its murderous reputation, quicksand does not such people under and swallow them, although it can hold a person in firm grip. The human body is more buoyant〔有浮力〕 in quicksand than in water, and sooner or later anyone trapped in it will float.Unlike most liquids, quicksand’s viscosity, or “runniness”’s grip〔紧握〕 requires a large amount of force. Without something solid to pull at, people often find they are stuck fast. Pulling at one leg simply makes the other one sink further.So how do you escape from quicksand’s control? Stay still and call for help. Staying still stops you sinking any further, until--with luck--help arrives on the scene. If no one appears and you need to draw yourself out, gently lie down on your back until your body is floating on the sand. Next, roll over onto your stomach and pull yourself forwards with your hands, so that you gradually “swim” towards firmer ground. It is a slow and dirty business, but it works.This technique has one barrier: it goes against a very powerful human nature. Faced with danger in the open, nine out of ten stay on their feet so that they can run away, in which case it can worsen the situation.63. From the passage we can learn that ________A. as long as you are strong enough, you can pull yourself up from quicksand on your ownB. clay glues sand particles loosely, which makes quicksand stable, unless it is disturbedC. because anyone trapped in quicksand will float, there is little possibility of him dyingD. looking like solid ground, quicksand is actually liquid64. If someone is trapped in quicksand, what should he do?A. Remain calm and wave for helpB. Stand in quicksand and get ready to run away as quickly as possibleC. “Swimming” is one of the best choices he can use to e scapeD. Once in quicksand, lie down on his stomach immediately and swim slowly to safetyAMid-IB Summer SchoolThe summer vacation is the time to prepare for the year ahead. In July and August, Oxford Study Courses will once again hold its Mid-IB Summer School for students to help students get their IBDiploma〔国际预科证书〕successfully.The Mid-IB Summer School is held at Cambridge University in the UK 〔between June 20th and August1st〕 and at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 〔MIT〕 in Boston, USA 〔between July 6th and July 25th〕.◆ “The classes have shown me new ways to learn. I’ve also learned how to answer exam questions and now feelconfident in doing so.”◆ “It was cool creating tight and close relationships with other students from around the world, realizing we allhad a connection to each other.”◆ “I really enjoyed the level of independence, although I felt like people were watching out for us. I also felt likean Oxford student!”◆ “I have enjoyed the learning style and the course work has been very useful for my study.”56. The Mid-IB Summer School is meant for the students who ________.A. have finished their first year of collegeB. plan to apply for Oxford UniversityD. don’t know how to spend their summer vac ationA. Meeting new people.B. Seeing new places.C. Improving the study.D. Getting new ways of learning.。
