2023年高考英语真题解析 阅读理解长难句分析

2023年高考英语真题解析 阅读理解长难句分析

2023年高考英语真题解析阅读理解长难句分析Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of everyday object —the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.接下来进行分析解释。

长难句解析:这个句子虽然看起来长而且结构复杂,但是实际上它的结构清晰明了。

第一步:理出来句子的主次,以做到主次分明。

represented之前是主干,主干是一个主系表结构。

represented之后是次要部分。

主干的内容是:Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of everyday object —the book. 意思是:《阅读的艺术:关于书籍爱好者的艺术》颂扬的是书籍这一日常物品。

主干理解疑难点:1,英语没有专门的书名号,书籍名称、文章名称,电影名称等等需要用斜体表示出来。

当然这篇文章后面也明确提到了这是一本书(book of books关于书籍的书)。

2 celebration表示:庆祝,庆典,还可以表示颂扬。

这里意思不是庆祝书籍,而是颂扬书籍的意思。

第二步,理解句子次要的修饰部分:represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.意思是:这种颂扬体现在《阅读的艺术:关于书籍爱好者的艺术》这本书里面,书里面有来自世界各地博物馆约300件艺术作品。

二,次要部分理解疑难点:1,represent的意思很多,可以表示:代表,体现,展示。

这里represented是过去分词表示被动,意思是:对书籍的颂扬被这些艺术作品体现了出来。

2,这个句子中的here(这里)到底是哪里?实际上,here(这里)指的是这本书。

And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. "The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks," she says. "They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful." Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.Urban Sprouts' classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. "We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're eating differently," Jaramillo says.She adds that the program's benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. "They get outside," she says, "and they feel successful."4.What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?A.She used to be a health worker.B.She grew up in a low-income family.C.She owns a fast food restaurant.D.She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.5.What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?A.The kids' parents distrusted her.B.Students had little time for her classes.C.Some kids disliked garden work.D.There was no space for school gardens.6.Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?A.Far-reaching.B.Predictable.C.Short-lived.D.Unidentifiable.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Rescuing School Gardens B.Experiencing Country LifeC.Growing Vegetable Lovers D.Changing Local Landscape阅读理解Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.In this "book of books," artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses — absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks — transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, "off-line" activity.8.Where is the text most probably taken from?A.An introduction to a book.B.An essay on the art of writing.C.A guidebook to a museum.D.A review of modern paintings.9.What are the selected artworks about?A.Wealth and intellect.B.Home and school.C.Books and reading.D.Work and leisure.10.What do the underlined words "relate to" in paragraph 2 mean?A.Understand.B.Paint.C.Seize.D.Transform. 11.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?A.The printed book is not totally out of date.B.Technology has changed the way we read.C.Our lives in the 21st century are networked.D.People now rarely have the patience to read.阅读理解As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant's experience of "We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while" was assigned the categories "sitting at beach" and "listening to waves."Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a "nature language" began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Backdowntown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break."We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it," said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.12.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?A.Pocket parks are now popular.B.Wild nature is hard to find in cities.C.Many cities are overpopulated.D.People enjoy living close to nature.13.Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?A.To compare different types of park-goers.B.To explain why the park attracts tourists.C.To analyze the main features of the park.D.To find patterns in the visitors' summaries.14.What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5?A.Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.B.Young people are too busy to interact with nature.C.The same nature experience takes different forms.D.The nature language enhances work performance.15.What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?A.Language study.B.Environmental conservation.C.Public education.D.Intercultural communication.二、任务型阅读(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。

下面我们来看一道高考真题。

Passage 1We have long admired animals for their physicalabilities and adaptability, but now many of us are paying closer attention to another trait: the simple kindess of animals.Who of us isn't touched by an affectionate dog who leans against us when we're feeling down? Or by gorillas (大猩猩), who tenderly groom and comfort one another? These animals do not have any material or selfish motives. Their kindess seems to spring simply from the heart. Not only do animals show kindness toward humans, they are often kind to other animals as well.There are many stories of animals coming to the rescue of other animals, despite the fact that they are not from thesame species and they will not benefit personally from their actions. For example, there is a well-known story of agorilla who rescued an injured bird and took care of it until it was healthy enough to fly away. The collection of such stories is growing rapidly, thanks to new technologies that record the activities of animals in their natural environments.These findings suggest that kindness is a natural behavior that transcends (超越)species boundaries. It also suggests that animals possess a kind of intelligence and morality (道德)that we might not even begin to understand. In comparison, human beings often let their selfishness and greed (贪婪)prevent them from helping others.This passage mainly discusses ________.A. how animals show physical abilities and adaptabilityB. the simple kindness of animals towards humansC. the intelligence and morality of animalsD. how animals rescue other animals答案及解析:B. the simple kindness of animals towards humans这篇文章主要论述的是动物对人类的简单友善。

Skillde at putting up shelves and piecing together fumiture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself.She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day's work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: "I'm sure I wasn't much of a help to start with painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and is was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills."Terri, who now rents abhouse with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy(租期)comes to an end. She adds: "I've moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures. So, it's been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I've moved out"With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done.

It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy(哲学).That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philososphy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you—and then try to explain them.Eric weiner's The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher's work in the centext(背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book abour learning touse philosophy to improve a life.He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most importantphilosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding(解读) their massages and adding his own interpretation.The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It's worth your time, even if time is something we don't have a lot of.8.Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?A.Foucault.B.Eric Weiner.C.Jostein Gaarder D.A college teacher.9.Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4?A.To compare Weiner with them.B.To give examples of great works.C.To praise their writing skills.D.To help readers understand Weiner's book.10.What does the author like about The Socrates Express?A.Its views on history are well-presented.B.Its ideas can be applied to daily life.C.It includes comments from readers.D.It leaves an open ending.11.What does the author think of Weiner's book?A.Objective and plain.B.Daring and ambitious.C.Serious and hard to follow.D.Humorous and straightforward阅读理解Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5m long and weigh over 400kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche-we revere(敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and the iranswer is often the same: a grizzly bear."Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range," says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven't been seen in a century or more, they're increasingly being sighted by humans.The western half of the U.S. was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de-list grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.Obviously, if precautions(预防) aren't taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. "Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits," says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.12.How do Americans look at grizzlies?A.They cause mixed feelings in people.B.They should be kept in national parks.C.They are of high scientific value.D.They are a symbol of American culture.13.What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?A.The European settlers' behavior.B.The expansion of bears' range.C.The protection by law since 1975.D.The support of Native Americans.14.What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from de-listing grizzlies?A.The opposition of conservation groups.B.The successful comeback of grizzlies.C.The voice of the biologists.D.The local farmers' advocates.15.What can be ierere from the last paragraph?A.Food should be provided for grizzlies.B.People can live in harmony with grizzlies.C.A special path should be built for grizzlies.D.Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.二、阅读理解第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, Beautiful Inside My Head Forever, at Sotheby’s in London on September 15th 2008. All but two pieces sold, fetching more than £70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, filed for bankruptcy. 在2008年9月15日伦敦苏富比拍卖行举行的“在我心中,美丽永恒”拍卖会上,Damien Hirst的56部作品成功售出,随着这些作品的售出,艺术品市场一个世纪以来最长的牛市戏剧性地落幕了。

所有作品中只有两件没有售出,销售额超过了7,000万英镑,创造了单个艺术家的拍卖纪录。

这是最后的胜利。

(因为)就在拍卖师喊出报价的时候,纽约华尔街上历史最悠久的银行之一雷曼兄弟申请破产。

At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, a research firm – double the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have come down to $50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries. 世界艺术品市场在经历了2003年起的急剧上升后,一段时间以来其发展势头已经开始丧失。

Clare McAndrew 是一家名叫Arts Economics,研究公司的创始人,他估计在2007年的高峰期,世界艺术品市场的价值约为650亿美元,是五年前的两倍。

从那时起,它的价值可能已经降到500亿美元。

但是艺术品市场产生的利益远远超出它本身的规模,因为它汇集了巨大的财富、膨胀的自我、贪婪、激情和争议。

其方式几乎没有哪个产业能与之相提并论。

18.to stay away from: 远离19.sector: 领域,部门20.guarantee: (名词)保证金* In the weeks and months that followed Mr. Hirst’s sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector, they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008. Within weeks the world’s two biggest auction houses, Sotheby’s and Christie’s, had to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them. 在Hirst的作品拍卖会后的几个星期和几个月里,任何此类的投资都变得很不合时宜。

在艺术品领域,这意味着收藏家远离了画廊和销售店。

当代艺术品的销售额下降了三分之二,而在最热门的领域,那一年的销售额截止到2008年11月份下跌了近90%。

几周之内,世界上两家最大的拍卖行,苏富比和佳士得,不得不支付近两亿美元把那些早已把作品交与他们出售的客户,以作为担保费用。

This time experts reckon that prices are about40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more fluctuant. But Edward Dolman, Christie’s chief executive, says: “I’m pretty confident we’re at the bottom.” 当前艺术品市场的下滑是自1989年底日本停止购买印象派作品以来最糟糕的一次。

这一次,专家估计平均价位相对于峰值来讲下降了大约百分之四十,尽管有些价格波动的幅度更大。
