细节理解专练(二)——间接信息类A[2019·成都第二次诊断] Author Walter Dean Myers died at the age of 76 after a brief illness. Walter Dean Myers was the author of more than 100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards.The prolific author was loved for his vivid description of the lives of African American children, and for writing books for young people that covered different subjects. “Myers has written about all those subjects with deep understanding and a hard-won, qualified sense of hope,” said Leonard S. Marcus in 2008.He was born in 1937 and was adopted by Florence Dean and Herbert after his mother died while giving birth to his younger sister. They loved him very much and his mother read to him from a very young age. Reading pushed him to discover worlds beyond his landscape.He began writing at an early age. He wrote well in high school and an English teacher recognized this and advised him to keep on writing no matter what happened to him. “It's what you do,” she said.He dropped out of high school at 17 and joined the army. After finishing his service, he entered a dark period in his life. Myers began writing at night to pull himself through that miserable time.In an essay published in The Ne w York Times earlier this year, Myers described how a short story by James Arthur Baldwin helped change the course of his life. “I didn't love the story, but I was lifted by it,” he wrote, “for it took place in Harlem, and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew. By humanizing the people who were like me, Baldwin's story also humanized me. The story gave me a permission that I didn't know I needed, the permission to write about my own landscape, my own map.”“I write books for the troubled boy I once was,” he wrote, “and for the boy who lives within me still.”体裁:记叙文题材:人物传记主题:著名作家Walter Dean Myers【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了美国著名作家Walter Dean Myers的生平。

B[2019·湖南六校联考]Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists, runners and walkers, but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear. It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears.Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs vision-and hearing-impaired (视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.Jane Britt, president of Achilles Brisbane, who isvision-and hearing-impaired, said, “When we go out, it's much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what's there.”Ms. Cullen and Ms. Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the free five-kilometer park run. Their partnership is built on trust, but Ms. Britt said that it took time to develop.Ms. Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms. Cullen completely. “There was violent rain, my glasses were broken and we were walking together. I suddenly had to tell her I couldn't see anything, and I was going to have to completely trust her. From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in,” she said.Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane. Ms. Allen kept active by rowing, running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse. After nearly giving up completely, she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.Ms. Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane. “But, they found people and matched me to them,” she said. “It's the best thing I've ever done.”体裁:记叙文题材:社会生活主题:残疾人帮扶锻炼组织【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

2020新课标高考英语二轮专题强化训练:专题一第二部分题型应对策略 第三讲 理解主旨要义——主旨大意题
主旨大意题——标题归纳题(建议用时:25分钟)A(2019·青岛质量检测)Recently whenever I turned on my computer or mymobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey on thousands ofpeople caught my eye. I saw many unfortunate events. However, there was alsothe bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many humaninterest stories during my career. That’s why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eye.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn’t sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that they took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent, “Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn. Instead, we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。
2020高考英语大二轮复习冲刺经典专题语篇部分专题一阅读理解第1讲细节理解类教学案
专题一阅读理解阅读策略读文方式(一)问题→文章→问题先看问题,然后带着问题去读文章,再答题。
这种方式能够节省答题时间,针对性强,适用于解答细节性和事实性的题目。
(二)文章→问题→文章粗读文章,然后看题目,再精读来答题。
这种方式有利于把握文章主旨及作者的观点意图,对文章理解度较深,但速度较慢。
上面两种读文方式无优劣之别,一旦选择了适合考生自身的方式,就要持之以恒。
化解生词在此,我们首先强调考生必须要注意词汇的积累,因为它是提高阅读水平最基础也是最重要的一步。
但一般来说,在文章中总会碰到一些生词,这也符合《考试大纲》(允许出现3%的超纲词)的要求。
对于生词我们一般可通过以下三种方式来破解:1.跳过无关紧要的词高考的阅读理解中出现的生词有相当大的一部分是没必要精准知道词义的,它的具体含义对文章或基本句意的理解不会有什么影响。
如,同时出现的几个首字母大写的单词,很可能是专有名词,只需知道它是某个名称即可;再如,斜体的单词很可能是某书、电影等的名称或某个专业术语,只需知道它代表何物即可。
对于类似这样的词汇,考生不必过多纠缠,跳过便是。
我们建议考生在平时练习时,要加强对生词的容忍度并进行跳过技巧的训练,这样临场时才能保证做题的速度和准确率。
2.猜测有影响的词阅读中有些生词对文章理解至关重要,必须要知道它的准确含义,这类词通常是“词义猜测”类试题的设题重点。
对于它的破解我们会在下文“第4讲词义猜测类”中具体阐述。
3.拆分长难句阅读中出现的长难句经常是考生对文章理解的障碍,这是因为它一方面结构复杂,经常多种从句套用,另一方面是因为它分隔现象比较普遍,常将从句隔离开,有时还出现省略、倒装、虚拟等特殊句式用法,这些无疑都增加了理解的难度。
长难句的破解关键在于要能找出句子的主干成分,分清从属成分。
即将“枝叶”——介词短语、插入语、定语(从句)、状语(从句)、同位语(从句)、非谓语等去掉,留下的便是“主干”。
[典例] Rachel Liang (梁文音), a Taiwanese singer, who once competed in a series of Taiwanese singing contests, such as the Blackie Show (《我爱黑涩会》), and One Million Stars (《超级星光大道》), rose to fame while playing Kojima Tomoko (友子) in the Taiwanese block Cape No.7 (《海角七号》).去枝叶:同位语(a Taiwanese singer),定语从句(who once competed in a series of Taiwanese singing contests, such as the Blackie Show, and One Million Stars),状语从句的省略(while playing Kojima Tomoko in the Taiwanese block Cape No.7);留主干:Rachel Liang rose to fame. (S+V)梁文音成名了。
高考英语二轮复习核心专题精讲精练:专题2 阅读理解记叙文(考情分析+真题回顾+最新模拟试题)
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。

Go to buy yourself a ticket to Sweeney Todd tomorrow. It'll change your life,’” Elder said. Elder never got the man's name—just $200 and a photo.Elder had never seen Sweeney Todd, so he bought “a great seat”. Starring in that production was the legendary Patti LuPone. “That did not seem real. Patti LuPone... she seemed like a person you read about in a book or heard about somewhere, but not someone you saw perform,” Elder said.He th en tried his best to earn a place on the stage. LuPone is now his costar in the hit musical Company—a turning point of fate that goes back to the stranger who gave him the means to watch one of Broadway's biggest productions. “It takes that kind of generosity to show you what generosity can be, to turn around and do it again,” Elder said.Giving back is now a big part of his life. Once a month, he and his 4yearold son pay for a stranger's meal at their local diner. Recently, he has started giving away free tickets to his show through social media.After every performance, Elder takes a picture with the strangers he buys tickets for and hangs the photos in his dressing room. “I hope that it awakens something in them, just like it did in me,” he said. “What I hope happens is that these people are shown some sort of sincere kindness from a stranger and hopefully in turn go out and do something kind for somebody who they don't know.”4.How did Elder feel when he saw Patti LuPone perform?A.Moved and grateful.B.Inspired but worried.C.Curious but doubtful.D.Surprised and excited.5.What did Elder do after seeing Sweeney Todd?A.He took Patti LuPone as his teacher.B.He tried to contact the stranger.C.He trained hard to become an actor.D.He created Company with Patti LuPone.6.Why does Elder give free tickets to those strangers?A.To get personal popularity.B.To take photos with them.C.To inspire them to do good deeds.D.To help them know more about his show.7.What is the best title for the text?A.An Act of Kindness Goes FarB.Hard Work Always Pays OffC.Luck Falls in an Unexpected WayD.A Good Play Can Change Your LifeCSherry Gao is pouring coffee made from singleorigin beans, hoping that her Mandarin Coffee Stand in the city of Pasadenawill, California introduces you to your new favorite coffee and turns your preconceptions about Chinese coffee beans upside down.Much of the Western world imports its coffee from Africa and South America. But Gao hopes that throwing light on Yunnansourced coffee could expose customers to the coffeeproducing region and help to break down prejudice against the beans, which for decades, until only a few years ago, were primarily used for instant products.“We wanted to highlight Chinese coffee because a lot of people nev er had Chinese coffee before,” Gao said. “Some have the mindset that it's bad or it's cheap, but that's not the case anymore. It's been changing so much over the last decade.”Recent experimentation with processing, such as the addition of fruit or sugarcane molasses during the production, is leading Yunnan's coffee to more flavorful results. “Every time a new product comes in, it tastes better than the last one,” Gao said.Farmers in China have grown tea for more than 3,000 years, but coffee has been grown there for only about a century in small quantities, with an uptick in the 1980s with government involvement. And the turn of the century and the 2010s saw a sharp growth with international corporations investing in the region's crops, initially for use in instant coffee.But in the last 10 to 15 years, tastes and demand for specialty and highgrade coffees emerged, especially from local growers and shops. The domestic demand for Chinagrown coffee has risen so dramatically that Gao says it's now much more expensive.To further connect with the community, Gao hopes to one day host classes for interactive howto events.

But the new strip uses a passive system to generate electricity from sweat in your fingertips, even if you are sleeping or sitting completely still. This is because the finger tips are the sweatiest part of the body. So, thanks to a smart sponge material, this can be collected and processed by conductors.The energy harvester produced small amounts of electricity when the wearer presses down or starts to sweat, or from light finger tapping. It does this by converting activities like typing, texting, or playing the piano into extra charge.Finger tips have one of the highest concentrations of sweat grands in the body, with coach finger producing between 100 and 1,000 times more sweat than most other areas, according to the researchers.Cofirst author doctoral student Mr. Bin said: “The reason why we feel sweatier on other parts of the body is that those spots are not well ventilated (通风的). By contrast, the finger tips are always exposed to air, so the sweat evaporated as it comes out. So rather than letting it evaporate, we use our device to collect this sweat, and it can generate a significant amount of energy.”The device is equipped with electrical conductors or electrode (电极) made from a carbon foam, which absorbs any finger sweat. Enzyme (酶) on the electrode then cause a chemical sweat molecule to generate electricity.The device only stores up a little bit power at the moment, and would take about three weeks of constant wear to power a smart phone, but the researchers hope to increase capacity in future.12.How is the new device different from other wearables?A.It is costeffective.B.It is harmless to skin.C.It required no exercise.D.It produced electricity.13.What does the underlined word “evaporate” in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Changes into a gas.B.Freezes in the air.C.Drops to the ground.D.Becomes bigger in amount.14.What is the disadvantage of the device?A.It is extremely small in size.B.It is very difficult to operate.C.It has a very limited power capacity.D.It relies much on temperature changes.15.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Sweats FingertipsB.Power from FingertipsC.An Electrical ConductorD.A Rechargeable Device[答题区]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。
