湖北黄冈市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮精练（39）及（解析）答案阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation.There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction.With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anymore.Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.I am not against modern technology.I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail system, and ane-mail account.Giving them up isn't wis e, they're a great help to us.It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation, or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn' t really have time to talk.The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier, or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts.So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell-phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home. 1．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A.The Advance of Communications TechnologyB.The Consequences of Modern TechnologyC.The Story of the Communications RevolutionD.The Automation of Modern Communications2．The sentence “Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent” means that _________.A．the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive phone callB．you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside youC．modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face-to-face talkD．people can now go to work without going to the office3．The writer feels that the use of modern communications is _________.A．satisfying B．encouragingC．disappointing D．embarrassing4．The passage implies that ________.A．modern technology is bridging peopleB．modern technology is separating peopleC．modern technology is developing too fastD．modern technology is interrupting our communication5．What does the underlined word “facilitating” mean?A．加深B．限制C．帮助D．装备【要点综述】本文主要论述现代技术的消极影响——现代技术的使用在疏远人与人之间的距离。
1. B主旨大意题。
本文主要论述了现代技的影响。
2. C句意理解题。
第一段作者提出：通讯革命使我们不再面对面地交谈；第二段作者举自己生活的一例来予以说明；第三段作者感慨“Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent”，即其意应为：现在技术使人们很难有面对面的交谈。
故选C项。
3. D推理判断题。
根据第五段可知，作者并不反对现代技术，也认为它极有帮助，只是某一些结果让他感到不安，比如第二段中他所举的生活例子。
由此判断他会认为使用现代技术有时令人感到尴尬，故选D项。
4. B推理判断题。
根据第四段可推断现代技术正在疏远人们之间的关系，故选B项。
5. A词义猜测题。
画线词所在的这一段主要在讲述现代技术对他的消极影响，因此他才决定限制自己对现代技术的使用。
由此判断画线词应意为“加深”，即：加重他的不爱交际的天性。
故选A项。
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

备考2023年高考英语二轮专题：阅读理解(体育)
备考2023年高考英语二轮专题：阅读理解（体育）一、阅读理解(共39题；共78分)阅读理解Cheerleading is the fastest growing women's sport, yet many Americans think it can't satisfy the standards and qualifications of a sport. In addition, they fail to distinguish between sideline cheerleaders and competitive ones. Sideline cheerleaders' main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. However, it is true of competitive cheerleading.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. Cheerleaders must learn to fall and perform many complex actions, like lifts and tosses. This is where the "fliers" are thrown in the air, held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. The whole routine has to be completed in less than three minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, technique, creativity and sharpness. Cheerleading is a team sport, so without cooperation, first place is out of reach.Cheerleading is the major cause of serious sports injuries to women due to the fact that cheerleaders always perform without any equipment to protect them. While many athletes in other sports are well protected, smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and fall down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliers must remain tight all the time so that their bases can catch them safely. Because cheerleading is not recognized as a sport by many schools, proper equipment isn't provided to ensure safety. Therefore, more recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.Competitive cheerleading is a physical activity governed by rules under which a winner can be declared and its primary purpose is to compare the skills of participants. Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.1．（2分）What do many Americans think of cheerleading?A．It is aimed at cheering the audience.B．It focuses on strength and teamwork.C．It does no good to women's health.D．It fails to meet the criteria of a sport.2．（2分）What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 2?A．Competitive cheerleading is a team sport.B．Cheerleaders must train hard to win first place.C．There are no limits to competitive cheerleading.D．Strength is essential to competitive cheerleading.3．（2分）Why is it easy for cheerleaders to get seriously injured?A．They are not skillful in performance.B．They don't wear protective equipment.C．They are exposed to some dangers.D．They always perform various techniques.4．（2分）Which of the following is the author's opinion of cheerleading?A．It consumes a lot of energy and strength.B．It will become more famous than football.C．It is likely to become well known in future.D．It should be equipped with various purposes.阅读理解Girls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, and the leaders of a group of girls' schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls deal with failure."All girls, not just the sporty ones, should take physical exercise," Ms. Fraser says. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms. Fraser will tell the group that she supports "sport for all". "That's why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond," she says.The GDST draws on research from the Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion of boys, the research suggests.Ms. Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who once was a skater and tennis player, and the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, who was in the French national swimming team. Ms. Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis and Katherine Grainger are excellent role models for young women but says women's sport needs more money and more news reports.Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School for Girls, part of GDST, said it was important to offer alarge number of sports to attract different types of girls. "Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey." said Ms. Dunsford.5．（2分）Which of the following ideas would Ms. Fraser agree with?A．Boys are born to be sport lovers.B．Girls are less confident than boys.C．More should be done to make girls do sports.D．Those taking part in the sport are always successes.6．（2分）What's the proportion of boys who never take exercise?A．1/10.B．1/5.C．1/4D．2/5.7．（2分）Ms. Fraser mentions those famous women to show__________.A．hard work will pay offB．it's not easy to be greatC．sport can help girls to succeedD．it's necessary to balance work and sport8．（2分）What's the purpose of the text?A．To explain the key to success.B．To show the importance of sport.C．To introduce more sports to girls.D．To encourage more girls to do sports.阅读理解I recall when I was a young girl back in Canada, I was sitting and watching a baseball game on TV with my father and we started to debate the importance of sports. Different from my father, I argued with all the overconfidence of a teenager that sports is more than just a hobby to keep us physically healthy and went as far as claiming that "There would be more wars if we didn't have sports!"As an adult, my teenage tendencies of exaggeration (夸张)may have faded but I still firmly believe that sports is more than just a hobby for both participants and audience. The challenging times we are all living through right now with coronavirus is proof to this. The effect of cancelling all sports from professional leagues right down to amateur budding athletic programs, can be felt by millions of people worldwide. To many the social emotional impact is stronger than the physical. The loss of the sense of community, of belonging, and of an extended family is real for many girls, boys, men and women everywhere. Others arefeeling physical challenges as well as they are struggling to stay active during these times.But the human race is incredible and adaptable in tough situations, and sports once again is playing a role. Sports teams are staying in touch online and are a source of much needed support, love and laughter in these times. So many professional athletes are playing vital roles through this crisis by sharing their messages of support and at times, making valuable monetary donations to the cause. Even in areas of isolation, people are coming out on their balconies and leading their neighbours through a workout programme to help them stay active. Others are turning to online workout programmes to follow. Once again, sports is finding its way.So, in challenging times such as now, people are still empowered to continue their sports journey and stay strong and healthy.9．（2分）What may the author's father agree about sports?A．It is a personal hobby.B．It boosts confidence.C．It affects social relations.D．It helps avoid wars.10．（2分）How does life without sports affect people?A．They lack family connection.B．They have lost their hobbies.C．They feel bored more than lonely.D．They suffer both in body and mind.11．（2分）How do isolated people respond to the tough situations?A．Struggle to be athletes.B．Try to stay physically active.C．Make donations to good causes.D．Design new sports programmes.12．（2分）What is the best title?A．Sports reduces risks in our livesB．Sports continues to offer strengthC．Sports makes the impossible possibleD．Sports has new functions in the pandemic阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sport might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep itscourses（球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in so me local areas.There are many environment friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.13．（2分）What do we know about golf from the passage?A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B．It causes water shortages around the world.C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.14．（2分）The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _______.A．it is an outdoor sport B．it improves our healthC．it uses fewer resources D．it is recommended by experts15．（2分）Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A．Cycling around a lake.B．Motor racing in the desert.C．Playing basketball in a club.D．Swimming in a sports center.16．（2分）The author writes the passage to _______.A．show us the function of major sportsB．encourage us to go in for green sportsC．discuss the major influence of popular sportsD．introduce different types of environment friendly sports阅读理解It's summertime. That means long hot days, no school— and summer camps. Lots of kids spend at leastsome of the summer at camps. Some kids spend the whole year playing one sport. And what do they do during the summer? They go to a camp and keep playing that sport. So what's wrong with that?A study published in the journal Sports Health found that "for most sports, there is no evidence that intense (集中的) training and playing one sport before 13 or 14 are necessary to achieve elite (精英的)status." How big is the risk of injury if you specialize in one sport? A Loyola University Chicago study of 1, 200 youth athletes found that kids who specialized in one sport were 70 percent to 93 percent more likely to be injured than multi-sport athletes. That's a lot. Kids who specialize in one sport also get burned out. An Ohio State University study found that kids who played a single sport were more likely to quit their sport and be physically inactive as adults.But don't you have to specialize in one sport when you're a kid to have a chance to play in college or be a professional? No! Sorry, but I have to talk about another study. This one was a survey of college athletes by the American Society of Sports Medicine. The study found that 88 percent of college athletes played more than one sport when they were kids.Look at this year's National Football League(NFL) draft, 26 of the 31 first- round picks, including Jared Goff, the player drafted ahead of all the others, had been multi-sport athletes in high school, according to Tracking Football. It wasn't just the first round: 224 of the 256 draft picks had played more than one sport in high school. More than a third of the drafted players were three-sport athletes.So if you are a year-round baseball kid, try soccer this summer. It will get you into great shape and help you move your feet in the field. Or if you're a soccer kid, try tennis or rock climbing. Have some fun, and try something new. It's summertime.17．（2分）What's the purpose of the author writing the text?A．To invite more kids to play sports.B．To inspire kids to play sports for fun.C．To encourage kids to try more types of sports.D．To give kids advice on becoming professional athletes.18．（2分）What has the study in Sports Health found?A．Playing one sport is suitable for adults.B．Too much training doesn't lift sport spirits.C．70%-93% kids get injuries from playing sports.D．Kids' sport specialization doesn't promise future success.19．（2分）What can we learn about NFL drafted players?A．Most of them were multi-sport players.B．They are college students.C．They are professional athletes.D．Most of them were summer-camping lovers.20．（2分）Which of the following shows the structure of the text? (P—paragraph )A．B．C．D．阅读理解The health benefits of staying active are already well-known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besides the named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn't. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket（球拍）sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.In addition to this, the study didn't find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack ofbenefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.21．（2分）How is the study conducted?A．By doing comparative experiments.B．By analyzing previous data.C．By evaluating survey information.D．By tracking participants for a long time.22．（2分）What does the underlined part "the named sports" refer to?A．Ball sports.B．Racket sports.C．Individual sports.D．Traditional sports.23．（2分）What can we infer from paragraph 5?A．Few people will play football.B．Tennis will become more popular.C．The result of this study is wrong.D．The study needs to be further improved.24．（2分）What does the author advise people to do?A．Stick to any sport that you like.B．Play badminton and tennis only.C．Stop running and playing football.D．Do any sport according to guidelines.阅读理解Goa is the official holiday destination of India.

2023届高三英语二轮复习外刊阅读训练激发孩子学习兴趣的方式
23年高考英语外刊阅读训练——阅读理解：激发孩子学习兴趣的方式——改编自Ways to stimulate children's interest in learning Intrinsic motivation, also known as natural curiosity, is key to children's learning. These inquisitive beings are more likely to excel when they find learning fun and important. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation, such as rewards and punishment, is not as effective with younger students. Therefore, experts suggest allowing children some degree of autonomy and freedom in their learning.When trying to stimulate a child's interest in reading, let them choose which books they want to read. It doesn't matter if it's a graphic novel, TV guide, or classic literature, as long as their appetite for reading is being stimulated. Additionally, building a relationship with the child as learners is crucial. Listen to their negative feelings about certain activities and explain why they are valuable, even if not exactly enjoyable.It may be time to abandon the use of threats and rewards and instead give children more choice in how they learn.

2020届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解细节理解类【分类真题】（2019年课表全国卷二，C）Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s "me" time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half（53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report."I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?" Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. "Today, I just wanted some time to myself," she said.Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction（交流）. "I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week," he said. "It's a chance for self-reflection, You return to work recharged and with a plan."That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. "It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology," said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.28. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A. Food variety.B. Eating habits.C. Table manners.D.Restaurant service.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。

专题1.2 高考阅读理解记叙文养成良好的答题习惯，是决定高考英语成败的决定性因素之一。
做题前，要认真阅读题目要求、题干和选项，并对答案内容作出合理预测;答题时，切忌跟着感觉走，最好按照题目序号来做，不会的或存在疑问的，要做好标记，要善于发现，找到题目的题眼所在，规范答题，书写工整;答题完毕时，要认真检查，查漏补缺，纠正错误。
总之，在最后的复习阶段，学生们不要加大练习量。
一、考情分析语篇阅读能力一直是高考英语的考查重点，因此阅读理解是高考英语试卷最重要的内容之一。
阅读理解和七选五在高考卷中分值达50分左右，是决定学生高考英语成绩的一个重要题型。
高考中的阅读理解按照文章体裁通常可以划分为应用文、说明文、记叙文和议论文。
文体不同，语篇结构、语言特点和阅读策略也各有差异。
在各类文体中，记叙文占了很大比重。
记叙文是一种以记叙为主要表达方式的文章体裁，分为写人的记叙文和叙事的记叙文，人不离事，事不离人，但写作对象和写作目的有区别。
写人的记叙文以人为写作对象，表现人物的品质特点，而叙事的记叙文以事件为记叙对象，揭示事件对人、对社会的思想意义。
本文将结合近几年高考试题，阐述记叙文阅读理解的命题特点和解题策略。
