Once upon a time in a land far away, there was a wonderful old man who loved everything:animals, spiders, insects...One day while walking through the woods the nice old man found a cocoon(茧)of a butterfly. He took it home. A few days later, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon.The butterfly then came out with ease.But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled(萎缩的)wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.What the kind-hearted man did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid(液体)from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any hardships, it would fail us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly.【写作内容】1.以约30个词概括上文的主要内容。

Volunteering in Nursing HomesAccording to the National Center for Health Statistics,“Over 50% of those living in nursing homes do not have close relatives and 46% have n o living children.” Life in a nursing home is lonely,confusing,and frightening for many residents.Volunteering at a nursing home is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone else’s life.Playing cards,sitting with and talking to a resident,taking a walk,or sharing a meal makes a huge difference,especially when they have no other sole on earth to visit them.The three examples above are only a small fraction of institutions in which volunteers are needed.Giving of oneself,especially during the holidays blesses and cheers others.【语篇解读】本文介绍了人们在假期中可以选择去做志愿活动的三个地方。

【2016高考训练】At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour. In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it.They reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car, but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him. “Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car.“Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp.“One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking at it with interest.“Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.“I’ve often wanted a ride in one, but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.“Jump in,” said Rolls.“Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitting down, “You can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”1.The po licemen were told “to look the other way” so that _______.A. they could watch the car coming from the other directionB. Rolls’s car could go faster than four miles an hourC. they could make sure no one was in the wayD. the car would not hit them on the road2.In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?A. They greeted Rolls when the car came along.B. They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.C. They pretended to be attracted by something else.D. They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.3.The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to _______.A. teach Rolls a lessonB. take a free ride homeC. have a talk with RollsD. have a car ride experience4.After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls _______.A. dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed toB. could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distanceC. could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journeyD. drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to Cambridge参考答案1—4、BCDB阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

2024届高考英语(新高考通用)压轴真题专项练习——阅读理解CD篇(观念、事理、现象类)含答案

2024届高考英语(新高考通用)压轴真题专项练习——阅读理解CD篇(观念、事理、现象类)含答案

2024届高考英语(新高考通用)压轴真题专项练习——阅读理解CD篇(观念、事理、现象类)命题预测强的时代感。

从近年全国卷和各地高考试卷中科普类阅读命题的统计来看,高考阅读理解科普类文章的理论性和逻辑性强、生词多、句式结构复杂体现。

命题尊重语篇的文体特征和行文特点,考查了考生理解说明文语篇的能力,以及灵活运用各种阅读策略提取、归纳所读信息的能力,尤其加大了对概括能力和推断能力等高阶思维能力的考查。

预测1、说明文基本规律及解题要领高考中科普类阅读理解一般不给标题,反而经常要求考生选择最佳标题。

说明文一般采用如下四部分:首段:一般即是文章的主题段,开门见山点明新发明或研究对象。

背景: 交代问题的现状或研究的起因。

主干: 部分介绍研究所取得的突破,作者往往会详细介绍研究对象、研究方法、研究理论或具体的实验、统计等过程。

结尾: 通常会再次对中心进行概括、重述研究成果、预计的市场未来等与主题呼应。

二、说明文的解题技巧1. 运用语篇结构(text structure),了解文章大意科普说明文主题鲜明、脉络清晰,行文结构模式较为固定。

弄清文本结构有助于把握文章主旨和阅读重点。

观念事理现象类说明文阐述抽象事理、现象的成因、原理、本质、规律等内容。

结构上一般采用上述四个部分,说明手法上常使用以下说明方法:描述法(包括举例子、下定义、列数据等)、因果法、问题与比较法。

实验研究型文章一般会以实验的过程进展为线索,多用描述法、问题与对策法等方法,通过列数据、做对比等来说明新的科学研究发现及其产生的影响。

阅读时,首先用略读法快速浏览每段的首尾句,根据英语说明文思维模式特征,作者一般都会开门见山,直奔主题。

结尾通常也是中心思想的概括,并与导语相呼应。

因此在做主旨大意、写作意图和最佳标题等题目时,需要重点关注首尾段落里面高频复现的词汇和内容。

2. 定位标志词,分析长难句,进行逻辑推理判断每一个问题,在原文中,都要有一个定位。

然后精读,找出那个标志词或者中心句。

AFifty has never looked better.It’s been 50 years since the first James Bond film, Dr. No, premiered (首映) in cinemas. As first embodied by Scottish actor Sean Connery, Agent 007 was a fearless, cool-as-ice spy who excelled at sleuthing(侦查), fighting and saving the world.Since then, more than 20 films featuring the iconic spy have been released–making it one of the longest-running franchises (授权) in the history of cinema. On Nov 9, the 23rd Bond movie, Skyfall, celebrated the legend’s 50th birthday.Over the years, audiences have changed. It doesn't matter. Six different actors have acted 007 and it doesn't matter. Even shocking technological and cultural cha nges can’t bend Bond. Why? Is it the action, the sexy women, the cars, the gadgets and the exotic locations? Yes, but the most important reason is still the man himself. Bond can challenge his boss and shoot a bad guy in mere minutes. He is an expert in literature, languages, art and fine wines. He has a sharp tongue besides his wits.In the first film Dr. No, as Connery lit a cigarette, we heard James Bond’s voice and saw his café for the first time. The simple scene and short phrase have defined the character for half a century.“Next to the Beatles and Stones, James Bond was the greatest British import of the 1960s,” David Kamp, a US contributing editor for Vanit y Fair, wrote in a recent article about the birth of Bond and its influence on the US.The Bond phenomenon has clearly affected movie culture, pop culture and spy culture. But perhaps the most amazing thing is that 007 has survived in the age of feminism(女权主义). “Talking of objectifying women, Bond is essential Huge Henfner (founder of Playboy magazine) with a gun,” movie critic Xan Brooks told The Guardian. “But women liked Bond, too. He couldn’t have run for 50 years with male fans alone.”We love Bond for many reasons—after all 50 years, Bond is still breathtaking. thrilling ride into the very heart of an icon like no other.But most of all, we may love him for one reason: “he always gets away with it.” one said.【文章大意】本文叙述了詹姆斯邦德电影50年来一直受欢迎。

ALONDON (Reuters) — Children are dying for lack of drugs tailored to their needs, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which launched a global campaign on Thursday to promote more research into child medicine.More than half of the drugs currently used to treat children in the industrialized world have not been specifically tested on youngsters.The problem is even worse in developing countries where price remains a major barrier and 6 million children die each year from treatable conditions.In the case of HIV/AIDS, the few existing pediatric therapies(儿科的疗法)developed for children generally cost three times more than adult ones.As a result, clinicians lack clear guidelines on the best drug to use and often have to guess at the correct dose.Fortunately, the WHO has drawn up the first international List of Essential Medicines for Children, containing 206 products considered safe for children.“But a lot remains to be done. There are priority medicines that have not been adapted for children’s use or are not available when needed,” said Dr Hans, the U.N. agency’s director of medicines policy and standards.Medicines that need to be adapted to children’s needs include many antibiotics, pain drugs as well as combination pills for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.The agency is building an Internet entrance linking to clinical trials carried out in children and will launch a Web site with the information early next year.Testing medicines on children has always been a controversial issue, since good ethical (伦理的)practice requires informed agreement from people participating in clinical trials, which is difficult to obtain in the case of children.As a result, research-based drug companies have been wary of developingchild-friendly medicines and general companies have been slow to produce them at lower cost.In an attempt to deal with the issue, both Europe and the United States now have special rules offering extended patent protection for drugs that have been tested on children. 【文章大意】本文叙述了儿童急需适合他们需要的药物。

高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练题(14)[人物型阅读理解]----- (二)American actor Johnny Depp can best be described as unconventional.From his early life,his path into acting and even in his choice of movie roles,we can see that Depp has seldom taken the easy road.His willingness to take risks and do the unexpected has made Depp one of the few Hollywood actors able to achieve huge commercial success while maintaining his artistic reputation.Born in 1963,Depp was somewhat troublesome as a youth,occasionally turning to petty crime and drugs.When his parents divorced in 1978,Depp dropped out of school against his mother's wishes and started a music band called the Kids.Although the band achieved some success,they were seldom able to make_ends_meet,with Depp often unable to pay his rent,sleeping rough on friends' sofas and even in his car.In 1983,the everoptimistic Depp and his new wife,Lori Anderson,moved to Hollywood California to further Depp's m usical career.But life there continued to be a struggle and Depp was forced to take a job selling pens door to door to support his new family.His luck changed when Lori's exboyfriend,the fam ous actor Nicholas Cage,impressed by Depp's good looks and intelligence,suggested he become an actor and helped him get a small part in a movie.Several other minor movie roles—and a divorce from Lori—followed,before Depp got his big break three years later.He landed the leading role in the television series 21 JumpStreet,playing a youthful undercover police officer.The hugely popular sho w turned Depp into a teenage heartthrob overnight.He appeared on the cover of countless magazines and was much sought after by movie producers,eager to exploit his popularity with teenage girls.But Depp left 21 JumpStreet after three years, w hen it was at the height of its popularity,later admitting that he hated the show's unoriginal storylines and his “pretty boy” character.In the decade that followed,Depp rejected repeated offers of “pretty boy” roles in big budget Hollywood films.Instead he established himself as a serious,somewhat dark,peculiar performer,consistently selecting roles in smaller,independent films that surprise critics and audiences alike.Even in the movie that made Depp an international superstar,ThePiratesoftheCaribbean(2003),he was barely recognizable as Captain Jack Sparrow,the British,longhaired goldentoothed pirate(海盗).This and subsequent(随后的) hit movies have placed Depp at the very top of the commercial film industry (with a paycheck of $20 million for each such movie) but he still co ntinues to make the smaller,stranger films for which he is so greatly admired.1.As a youth,Depp could be described as a ________.A. serious criminalB. trouble makerC. drug addictD. successful musician2.The underlined expression “make ends meet” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.A. get together after a showB. meet their audienceC. play to the endD. earn enough to live3. In which order did the following events take place in Depp's life?a.met Nicholas Cageb.started a band called the Ki dsc.played a British pirated.sold pens door to doore.got married to Lori Andersonf.starred in a TV showA. d,b,e,a,c,fB. b,e,d,a,f,cC. a,b,f,c,d,eD. e,d,a,c,f,b4.Why did Depp leave the TV show 21 JumpStreet?A. The show was no longer popular.B. He wanted to perform in movies.C. He thought th e s how was terrible.D. He rejected planned changes to his role.5.Depp's choice of movie roles throughout most of his career suggests that________.A. he valued interesting work over moneyB. he believed he couldn't play “pretty boy” roles wellC. he was very popular with Hollywood movie producersD. he was more interested in shocking audiences than entertaining(二)【要点综述】本文主要介绍了从20世纪80年代到21世纪维持声名的美国的一位豪放不羁且拥有迷人性格的演员约翰尼·德普。

1.B细节理解题。

根据第二段第一句“Born in 1963, Depp was somewhat troublesome as a youth,occasionally turning to petty crime and drugs.”可知,戴普是一个麻烦制造者,故选B项。

A、C两项均不符合题意。

2.D词义猜测题。

根据画线词所在句“…with Depp often unable to pay his rent,sleeping rough on friends' sofas and even in his car.”可知,戴普付不起房租,睡在朋友的沙发上,甚至是他的车子里,故可推出 make ends meet 应该意为“不能赚够维持生计的钱”。

3.B细节理解题。

根据第二段第二句“When his parents divorced in 1978, Depp dropped out of sc hool against his mother's wishes and started a music band ca lled the Kids.”可知b项发生在1978年;根据第三段第一句“In 1983, the everoptimistic Depp and his new wife, Lori Anderson, moved to Hollywood California to further Depp's musical career.”可知e项发生在1983年;根据第三段第二句“But life there continued to be a struggle and Depp was forced to take a job selling pens door to door to support his new famil y.”可知d项发生在婚后,到此答案基本上确定了,应该选B项。
