A story of cycles-of seasons, years, people, generations, stretches back centuries.A story of farming which only exists now in the remoter, wilder region of the UK, where the land is too hard and the environment too harsh for farming to be an "agribusiness". Where success, survival of farms, their sheep are dependent on knowledge passed down through generations and shared between farmers and shepherds in a small, close-knit and mutually-dependent community. A story of people hefted to their land every bit as much as their sheep are hefted to their fells.A Walk in the Woods by Bill BrysonReviewed by T. BentlyHaving read all of Bill Bryson's travel books, this was the last one left. I hadn't read this because I had been told it was one of his weakest one. But I decided, through no other reason that I needed a hit of Bryson, to read it. People couldn't have been more wrong. From the very beginning of assessing the feasibility, arranging for Katz to accompany him to the purchasing of his equipment and the purchasing of "a large knife for killing bears and hillbillies", Bryson is at his absolute best. His cute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile but fragile trail. His encounters along the trail and Katz anti-social, childish antics (滑稽动作) make the first 150 pages more than a laugh-out-loud-hike. I couldn't have been more surprised. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, A Walk in the Woods is destined to become a modem classic.5.In The Shepherd's Life, James Rebanks takes readers through a shepherds' life ______.A. little noticed, and deeply attached to the harsh landB. alternated by the seasons and changed by the generationsC. featuring a hard struggle in the remote and beautiful areaD. spent in a profitable agricultural and friendly community6.What does the reviewer wants to convey by saying "People couldn't have been morewrong."?A. Bryson's travelling experience is laughable.B. Bryson's travel book is the best seller in travelling literature.C. A Walk in the Woods combines artistic quality well with natural beauty.D. It's a pity that people turn a blind eye to Bryson's travelling experience.DBackJoy Orthotic Seat：Easy，Drug-Free Relief from Back PainWhy BackJoy？BackJoy is an innovative device that provides relief from back discomfort by aiding in maintaining your posture （姿势）anywhere you sit，hard or soft seats．● Proven effective � over 2.0 million units sold，durable to provide long-lasting support ● Recommended by doctors and nurses● Safe and effective � a natural alternativeBack Pain Is A Problem!● We average over 9+ hours of sitting each day!● 80% of adults will suffer from back pain in their life ● Back pain is the No．2 reason for visiting the doctor● Mom was right："Sit up straight!"How to useBackJoy is made small on purpose．It is designed to cradle the space around the two sitting bones at the base of your pelvis and must be smaller than your buttocks to do so．● Sit on top of itHandle goes in front and between your legs● Pull it tight & cup to fitFeel it cup & lift your hips above the seat from below youBACKJOY® FAQQ：When should I feel results？A：Many users experience immediate relief，and some require several weeks of regular use to feel the benefits of their BackJoy．Q：Will BackJoy work for my condition A：BackJoy will not cure your back pain，but it will relieve the pressures caused by sitting．*BackJoy seat products will not work for you if you have been confined to a wheel chair，or if you have trouble standing or walking for any length of time．7.Which of the following statements is True？______A.

Works in the underwater museum include a partially-submerged(半淹没的)figure that changes color as the sea warms and which can be seen from shore, and even a submerged coral-coveredgreenhouse.1．What do deCaires Taylor's underwater art exhibits have in common?A．Becoming National Geographic's Wonders of the World.B．Sharing names with gods in Greek myth.C．Changing colors with water temperature.D．Combining art with saving ocean creatures.2．Where can you see the largest underwater sculpture?A．Grenada.

The following international destinations are just a few of the countless choices to consider.Quebec cityQuebec city has long drawn admirers to its historic district the famed city wall, strange cobblestone lanes（鹅卵石小路）and handsome stone houses. This area transforms into a scenic Christmas village each December. The 403-year-old capital of Quebec province takes pride in the outdoors at Christmas time, when stone buildings shine with lights. Consider cross-country ski on the Plains of Abraham, or skate at the place D’ Youville square.EdinburghEdinburgh, a magic city full of staircases and hills as well as Georgian and neo-Classical buildings, is famous for its mixture of the modern and the old. This is evident in winter, when Scotland’s capital puts on a six-week festival lasting until Jan. 6 that goes way beyond Christmas markets. You can ride roller coasters, climb a wall of ice and attend a vivid Christmas themed show by the cabaret troupe（剧团）La Clique.ZurichIf buying gifts is on your travel schedule, Zurich is an impressive shopping center, particularly around the holidays, from multiple Christmas markets and the luxury（奢侈品）dress shops of Bahnhofstrasse Street, to the independent designers and antique shops in the merging industrial zones.

Here are four attractions you can see in a rush.Space NeedleRegular tickets for the Space Needle are $10 cheaper from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Order tickets in advance so you can go straight in line for the elevators. At the top, you can read fun facts about the Needle and interact with a huge, touchscreen “SkyPad”—- not to mention admiring incredible 360-degree views of the city.Chihuly Garden and GlassLocated right next to the Space Needle, this exhibit features the work of Dale Chihuly.

Order your Space Needle and Chihuly tickets together for even more savings.Pike Place MarketJust steps from the Space Needle, you can get on the bus to the famous Pike Place Market. Give yourself plenty of time to eat your way through this huge marketplace. Most places offer samples so you can try a wide variety of snacks before you buy.Post AlleyLocated under Pike Place Market, this street is home to Seattle’s stickiest attraction: the Gum Wall. This tradition started in the 1990s, when people waiting in line for Post Alley’s Market Theater would stick their chewedgum on the wall. Since then, thousands of others have added to the collection. The wall was swept clean in 2015, but you’d never know it now. It makes for a good photo opportunity—just don’t get too close.1．What can you do at the Space Needle?A．Taste some delicious snacks.

PISA is conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) every three years, and assesses the performance of 15-year-olds mainly in reading, maths and science.In England, the Government has prioritized（优先）climbing up the league tables in recent years. The latest tests were carried out last year, and showed that England was ranked 17 in the table for maths, up from 26 in 2015. Pupils in England also outperformed the OECD average in reading and science. On student well-being, 53 percent of 15-year-olds across the UK reported that they are satisfied with their lives—well below the 67 percent average across the OECD．Taking the UK as a whole, while there was only a statistically significant improvement in maths, the country still improved its position relative to other countries across all three of the subjects tested by PISA．In reading, the UK was 14th, up from 22nd three years ago. In science the UK was 14th, up from 15th, and in maths the UK roseto 18th from 27th.Across the rest of the league tables, East Asian countries like China and Singapore continued to be far superior. Today’s results also showed that Estonia outperformed all the major European economies.However, Geoff Barton, the general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, cautionedagainst concluding too much from the findings. There are many educational and non-educational factors which affect performance and it is not easy to find how these have impacted on youn g people’s attainment in a set of tests. What is worrying, however, is that this analysis shows that fewer students in the UK are satisfied with their lives than the OECD average. It is clear that many young people feel under great pressure in a society in which the risks often seem very high to them in terms of achieving their goals.12．Which aspect of England is under the average of the OECD?A．Reading. B．Science.C．Well-being. D．Maths.13．Which statement agrees with the UK’ performance in PISA?A．The UK did worse than before.B．The UK progressed a little in PISA．C．The UK hasn’t made any improvement.D．The UK pulled well ahead of the rest countries.14．Which of the following countries always holds a leading position in PISA?A．China. B．Estonia. C．The UK. D．England.15．What do the Geoff Barton’s words mean in the last paragraph?A．The PISA results are unbelievable for educators.B．Students in the UK are in need of more practice.C．Education quality can’t be fully reflected only by PISA．D．Young people take more risks of achieving their goals.8.（2020届河南省焦作市高三三模）Just like essays, all speeches have three main sections: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. 16．You need to write a speech in a way that keeps the attention of an audience and helps paint a mental image at the same time. Whatever type of speech you decide to write, find ways to make your words memorable.The structure of how to write your speech is just the start. 17．Start by paying attention to your audience and their interests. Write the words you’ll speak with passion and enthusiasm, which you also want your listeners to share. When writing your attention-grabbing statements, make sure you are writing what will get their attention, not just yours.18．Read famous speeches and look at the way they are constructed. Find things that stand out and figure out what makes it interesting. Oftentimes, speechwriters use rhetorical devices（修辞法）to make certain points easy to remember.Remember to begin and end your speech with something that will gain and hold the attention of your audience. If you spend too much time getting into your speech, people will zone out or start checking their phones. 19．20．When you give the speech, think about the tone you should use, and be sure to write the speech in the same flow that you’d use in conversations. A great way to check this flow is to practice reading it out loud. If you stumble（磕磕巴巴）while reading or it feels dull, look for ways to jazz up（使活泼）the words and improve the flow.A．You’ll also need to writ e the speech skillfully.B．How you deliver the speech is also important.C．You can gain inspiration from others’ speeches.D．Instead, if interested, they may stick with you until the end.E.So the essay form can offer a good foundation for the process.F.However, unlike essays, speeches are not to be read but to be heard.G.In other words, your speech should contain some color, drama, or humor.9.（2020届河南省六市第一次模拟）Christmas is coming early this year for “Downton Abbey”《唐顿庄园》fans.

The Darwin Awards website, which documents deaths which are foolhardy, urged people to log on to Internet broadcasts of the attempt. “Keep your eye s peeled for a live Darwin Award,” it said.However, the only body to make the news was the corpse (尸体) of an unknown mountaineer which Kamicar zipped past as he descended, one of an estimated 120 corpses, thought to litter the slopes.“This mountain is always full of surprises. Seeing a dead man out there was a really shocking experience,” he said.Thanks to strategically placed cameras on the mountain and one attached to his safety helmet, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed his descent on the Internet, which was one of the record highs ever. During the run more than 650,000 hits were registered on his expedition website jamming it for a time as others tried to access the site.Weather conditions were so severe that Kamicar had to abandon plans to rest on the summit before attempting to descend. Instead, suffering from fatigue, as soon as he reached the top he put on his skis and flung himself back down the mountain.Dealing with the mountain had already cost Kamicar two fingers when a previous failed attempt saw him get frostbite as a fierce storm lashed the peak.Kamicar comes from a skiing family and took part in his first Himalayan skiing expedition in 1989. Since then, he has been tireless in raising funds and sponsorship for more expeditions, with Everest as the permanent goal.32．Davo Kamicar made history by ________.A．skiing down Mount Everest without restB．descending Mount Everest within the shortest time everC．attracting largest number of audience online for his descentD．becoming the first to film his descent down Mount Everest33．The underlined word foolhardy in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.A．sudden and hard to accept B．taking unnecessary risksC．attracting public attention D．working hard to fool others34．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Kamicar saw about 120 dead bodies littering the slope.B．The broadcast of his descent online was cancelled because of the website jam.C．Kamicar’s family had a tradition to conquer Mount Everest.D．This was not Kamicar’s first attempt on Mount Everest.35．Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A．Mad man skis down Everest B．Darwin Award for Davo KamicarC．Extreme sports hero slides to a record D．Body of mountaineer found on Everest11.（2020届湖南省怀化市高三第一次模拟）Many people travel to enjoy and enrich themselves. As poet Jalaluddin said,“Travel brings power and love back to your life.”However, their travel methods may be different every year. Lonely planet listed three top trends of 2019. L et’s take a look.Solo travelTraditionally, travel seems to be a group activity to have fun together and avoid loneliness. But that changed in 2019. Traveling on your own means that you are the boss of everything, choosing wherever you want to go. For some people, it also shows a better, more confident person, ready to solve anything. Traveling alone in a totally foreign land can be challenging. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone,” Said Kristina, a traveler from the US.Augmented(增广的) attractionsWorld travel can be expensive. But virtual reality and augmented reality, or VR and AR, are giving more possibilities to “travel” for little cost. With ever-improving headsets, smart-phones and Wi-Fi connections, technologies have changed the way we travel, bringing the 360-degree experience of museums, theme parks and historical sites to our homes.In 2019, NASA provided a VR experience of Mars, allowing people to “walk” its surface with just a headset. Paris’ famous museum s, meanwhile, provided more applications with AR technology. This gives visitors more context and information about exhibits. With that, visitors can view a sea cow growing flesh before their eyes. These trends will help you beat the crowds and experience new kinds of travel.Getting off the beaten pathIn order to avoid the crowds, many liked to visit less famous places after searching online or following local agencies in 2019. With less transportation and fewer things to do, hitting upon small towns lets people slow down and notice the little things. Take a walk, ride a bike, drink coffee, take a deep breath and explore.1．The author’s main purpose of writing this passage is .A．to introduce the travel trends of 2019 B．to encourage more people to travelC．to recommend travel hot spots D．to explain what makes a good trip2．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A．Solo travelers are free to make their own decisions.B．Travelling alone benefits people a lot.C．NASA provided a real experience to Mars for people.D．VR and AR make it cheaper for people to “travel”.3．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Famous places are still popular with many travelers.B．Many people begin to explore new ways of travelling.C．Many people like to search for places online.D．Less transportation of small towns causes inconvenience.12.（2020届湖南省怀化市高三第一次模拟）You probably have not heard of Lu Zikuan, but recently the 11-year-old boy deeply touched Chinese netizens。
2020年高考英语重难点专练一 阅读理解之应用文(附答案解析)
重难点01 阅读理解之应用文【命题趋势】应用文一般分为两类：一类是叙述性应用文，例如书信、日记等，近两年高考试题较少涉及；另一类是说明性应用文，包括各种广告、产品说明、旅游指南、报刊书信、公共通告和备忘录等；而近两年高考试题中的阅读理解均侧重考查后一类。
【满分技巧】高考应用文阅读理解设题以细节理解题为主，因此，阅读这类文章时，应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，主要注意细节信息。
细节题的题干都是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等)，因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处，再把原文和选项相比较。
做题时，根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果。
同时，在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括。
具体答题策略如下：1. 先题后文先读试题，了解试题考点；明确目的，快速捕捉，获取信息。
2. 题干定向根据题干关键词到文中定位答案范围，按照题目顺序依次而下：问题与材料相同→对号入座；问题与原文相同→同义替换、归纳事实等。
3. 生词模糊遇到生词；如与答题无关，直接跳过；涉及答题，则根据语境、构词法等猜词。
4. 信息补全对于影响理解的省略句，可根据语境，将其补全。
总之，应用文类型的阅读文章一般说来比较易理解，文章类型以广告形式居多，设问根据文章的段落秩序，多以细节事实理解为主，答案的寻找可以根据问题中的关键字顺藤摸瓜，辅以适当的推理判断。
了解了应用文的措辞和内容特点，我们在实践中总结出解答应用文试题的关键是：抓信息。
提示：应用文阅读题做完后，不可轻易改答案，要相信第一感觉。
因为第一次解题时思路最清晰，假如没十分把握，以不改为好，防止弄巧成拙。
