2018考研英语双语阅读：石黑一雄赢得2017年诺贝尔文学奖_毙考题
《关于2018诺贝尔奖得主》非连续文本阅读练习及答案
阅读下面的文字，完成7～9题。
材料一10月1日—3日，2018年诺贝尔奖三大自然科学奖项——生理学或医学奖、物理学奖和化学奖的逐一揭晓，为人类智慧文明的高塔，再次垒上耀眼的一层。
诺贝尔生理学或医学奖被授予两位免疫学家——美国的詹姆斯·艾利森与日本的本庶佑。
10月8号，诺贝尔经济学奖揭晓，获奖者分别是诺德豪斯和罗默。
评委会指出，他们把宏观经济学扩大到全球规模，以解决世界最大难题，藉由建构出能解释市场经济与自然及知识互动的模式，大大拓展了经济分析的范畴。
瑞典著名化学家诺贝尔设立的系列奖项，用于鼓励“为人类带来最大利益”的科学发现与发明成果。
从生物学家发现免疫系统制动机制而衍生癌症治疗新方法，到物理学家用光镊移动微小物体并制造最短最强激光脉冲，再到化学家掌控酶和抗体定向进化的力量，无一不是基础科学领域的发现，发展成提高人类生命质量和生产效率的有益工具、手段和方法。
今年的获奖名单，再次秉承了诺贝尔的遗愿，也让全球热爱科学的公众，对“人类的最大利益”究竟是什么有所感悟，对做出这样贡献的科学家有所敬重。
2018年10月8日《科技日报》材料二2018诺贝尔奖得主“背景”大揭秘2018年10月9日《新浪看点》材料三纵观诺奖百年来的奖励对象，大致可划为两类：发现问题者与解决问题者。
某种程度上也是科学与技术的分野与关联。
在这一个世纪的时间轴上，发现问题占据着前半篇的中心位置，以爱因斯坦为首的宗师们光芒万丈，用一系列触及因果、存在、时空等哲学位面的伟大问题，圈定了现代科学技术的基本命题与类别范畴。
但2008年金融危机及此后十年证明，人类依然面临着一系列老问题——气候变暖、能源危机、粮食供应、流行疫病……那些被寄予厚望的创新，核聚变、新能源、人工智能，与成为普及实用的“答案”尚有距离。
简言之，与畅想相比，用技术的突破解决世代交替期的新老问题，更为迫切。
无论有心或无意，本届诺奖把褒奖给予了技术应用的实践者，从某一角度上可谓顺应、抚慰了世界的焦虑，也鼓舞了致力于解决问题的实践者。
2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试语文试题(全国卷1)及答案解析
2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试语文试题（全国卷1）及答案解析一、现代文阅读（36分）（一）论述类文本阅读（本题共3小题，9分）阅读下面的文字，完成1~3题。
诸子之学，兴起于先秦，当时一大批富有创见的思想家喷涌而出，蔚为思想史之奇观。
在狭义上，诸子之学与先秦时代相联系；在广义上，诸子之学则不限于先秦而绵延于此后中国思想发展的整个过程，这一过程至今仍没有终结。
诸子之学的内在品格是历史的承继性以及思想的创造性和突破性。
“新子学”，即新时代的诸子之学，也应有同样的品格。
这可以从“照着讲”和“接着讲”两个方面来理解。
一般而言，“照着讲”主要是从历史角度对以往经典作具体的实证性研究，诸如训诂、校勘、文献编纂，等等。
这方面的研究涉及对以往思想的回顾、反思，既应把握历史上的思想家实际说了些什么，也应总结其中具有创造性和生命力的内容，从而为今天的思考提供重要的思想资源。
与“照着讲”相关的是“接着讲”，从思想的发展与诸子之学的关联看，“接着讲”接近诸子之学所具有的思想突破性的内在品格，它意味着延续诸子注重思想创造的传统，以近代以来中西思想的互动为背景，“接着讲”无法回避中西思想之间的关系。
在中西之学已相遇的背景下，“接着讲”同时展开为中西之学的交融，从更深的层次看，这种交融具体展开为世界文化的建构与发展过程。
中国思想传统与西方思想传统都构成了世界文化的重要资源，而世界文化的发展，则以二者的互动为其重要前提。
这一意义上的“新子学”，同时表现为世界文化发展过程中创造性的思想系统。
相对于传统的诸子之学，“新子学”无疑获得了新的内涵与新的形态。
“照着讲”和“接着讲”二者无法分离。
从逻辑上说，任何新思想的形成，都不能从“无”开始，它总是基于既有的思想演进过程，并需要对既有思想范围进行反思批判。
“照着讲”的意义，在于梳理以往的思想发展过程，打开前人思想的丰富内容，由此为后继的思想提供理论之源。
在此意义上，“照着讲”是“接着讲”的出发点。

人教版2017-2018学年高考语文一轮复习 大题精做：05 外国小说阅读(含解析)
外国小说阅读（2017年高考江苏卷）阅读下面的作品，完成问题。
一个圣诞节的回忆[美]杜鲁门·卡波特请设想一下二十多年前一个十一月的早晨，一个白发剪得短短的妇人站在窗口，大声说：“这是做水果蛋糕的好天气！巴迪，去把我们的车推来，我们要烤三十个水果蛋糕呢。
”那时我七岁，她六十光景，我们是很远的表亲。
从我记事起，我俩就住在一起。
她叫我“巴迪”，为了纪念她以前最好的朋友。
那个巴迪早死了，当时她自己还是个孩子。
她现在仍是个孩子。
我们把童车推进山核桃树丛。
童车是我出生时买的，快散了，轮子摇来摆去，像醉鬼的腿。
奎尼是我们养的一条小狗，她挺过了一场瘟疫和两次响尾蛇的噬咬，现在一路小跑跟在小车旁。
三个小时后我们回到厨房，把拉回家的满满一车风吹自落的山核桃的壳剥去。
欢快的裂壳声像是微弱的雷鸣，核桃肉散发着甜美的香气。
奎尼求我们给她点尝尝，我的朋友时不时偷偷给她一点，但我俩是绝对不可以吃的，“这些山核桃还不见得够做三十个水果蛋糕呢。
”明月高照，小车空了，碗满满的。
第二天，我最喜欢的事开始了：大采购。
樱桃，柑橘，香草，葡萄干，威士忌，大量的面粉和黄油……嗬，简直要一匹小马才能把车拉回家。
我们没钱，但每年总能用尽各种办法，筹到一笔水果蛋糕基金：卖破烂，卖摘来的一桶桶黑莓、一罐罐自制的果酱、苹果冻，为葬礼和婚礼采集鲜花。
黑炉子加足了煤和柴火，烧得像一只发光的南瓜。
打蛋器旋转着，调羹在一碗碗黄油和糖里搅动，香草让空气变得甜甜的，姜又增加了香味。
厨房里浓香扑鼻，弥漫到整幢屋子。
四天后，大功告成，三十只蛋糕放在窗台、搁板上晾着。
蛋糕给谁呢？朋友呗。
不一定是邻近的，大半倒是只见过一次，甚至素未谋面的，我们喜欢的朋友。
例如罗斯福总统，一年来镇上两次的小个子磨刀人，帕克（班车司机，他每天在尘土飞扬中嗖地一声驶过时和我们互相挥手招呼）。
是不是因为我的朋友太害羞了，才把这些陌生人当作真正的朋友？我想是的。
我们的纪念册里有用白宫信笺写的答谢信，有磨刀人寄来的一分钱明信片——它们让我们觉得和外面丰富的世界联系在一起。

三、萧红《生死场序》记得已是四年前的事了，时维二月，我和妇孺正陷在上海闸北的火线中，眼见中国人的因为逃走或死亡而绝迹。
后来仗著几个朋友的帮助，这才得进平和的英租界，难民虽然满路，居人却很安闲。
和闸北相距不过四五里罢，就是一个这么不同的世界，我们又怎么会想到哈尔滨。
这本稿子的到了我的桌上，已是今年的春天，我早重回闸北，周围又复熙熙攘攘的时候了，但却看见了五年以前，以及更早的哈尔滨。
这自然还不过是略图，叙事和写景，胜于人物的描写，然而北方人民的对于生的坚强，对于死的挣扎，却往往已经力透纸背；女性作者的细致的观察和越轨的笔致，又增加了不少明丽和新鲜。
2018高考真题阅读理解人物故事类
专题14 阅读理解人物故事类二、2018年高考真题（完成于2020-3-22）1. 【2018·全国卷III，C】While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize —which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said."Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think traditionmeans old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, " he said."Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, " said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.28. Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.A. following the latest world trendB. getting international recognitionC. working harder than ever beforeD. relying on foreign architects29. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A. Its hilly environment.B. Its large size.C. Its unique style.D. Its diverse functions.30. What made Wang’s architectural design a success?A. The mixture of different shapes.B. The balance of East and West.C. The use of popular techniques.D. The harmony of old and new.31. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A. Spread them to the world.B. Preserve them at museums.C. Teach them in universities.D. Recreate them in practice.2. 【2018·北京卷，A】My First Marathon（马拉松）A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.36. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. lost hope37. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A.

One is never too old to learn.3. 【2018·天津卷，B】When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, "Do you have the address? ""No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine. ""Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us."May I help you?" a man asked. "No, "I said. "We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sallyhad gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are? " he asked. I turned sharply. "The McNay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. "Well, it’s our home." My heart jolted(震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately! ""There’s some really good stuff(艺术作品) up there." She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, "Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place." Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. "Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum? ""Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone. ""That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you."41. What do we know about Marian McNay?A. She was a painter.B. She was a community leader.C. She was a museum director.D. She was a journalist.42.

People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.4. 【2018·浙江卷，A】In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字）rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the author s, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂）of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A. his reputation in FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To remember a great writer.B. To introduce an English novel.C. To encourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.三、2017年高考真题1. 【2017·全国卷I，B】I work with V olunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over andsaw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.24. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Efforts made in vain.B. Getting injured in his work.C. Feeling uncertain about his future.D. Creatures forced out of their homes.25. Why was the author called to Muttontown?A. To rescue a woman.B. To take care of a woman.C. To look at a baby owl.D. To cure a young owl.26. What made the chick calm down?A. A new nest.B. Some food.C. A recording.D. Its parents.27. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A. It’s unexpected.B. It’s beautiful.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.。

The Navy Department moved into the east wing in1879,where elaborate wall and ceiling stenciling and marquetry floors decorated the office of the Secretary.C.The State,War,and Navy Building,as it was originally known,housed the three Executive Branch Departments most intimately associated with formulating and conducting the nation's foreign policy in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century-the period when the United States emerged as an international power.The building has housed some of the nation's most significant diplomats and politicians and has been the scene of many historic events.D.Many of the most celebrated national figures have participated in historical events that have taken place within the EEOB's granite walls.Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt,William Howard Taft,Dwight D.Eisenhower,Lyndon B.Johnson,Gerald Ford, and George H.W.Bush all had offices in this building before becoming president.It has housed16Secretaries of the Navy,21Secretaries of War,and24Secretaries of State. Winston Churchill once walked its corridors and Japanese emissaries met here with Secretary of State Cordell Hull after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.E.The Eisenhower Executive Office Building(EEOB)commands a unique position in both the national history and the architectural heritage of the United States.Designed by Supervising Architect of the Treasury,Alfred B.Mullett,it was built from1871to1888to house the growing staffs of the State,War,and Navy Departments,and is considered one of the best examples of French Second Empire architecture in the country.F.Construction took17years as the building slowly rose wing by wing.When the EEOB was finished,it was the largest office building in Washington,with nearly2miles of black and white tiled corridors.Almost all of the interior detail is of cast iron or plaster;the use of wood was minimized to insure fire safety.Eight monumental curving staircases of granite with over4,000individually cast bronze balusters are capped by four skylight domes and two stained glass rotundas.G.The history of the EEOB began long before its foundations were laid.The first executive offices were constructed between1799and1820.A series of fires(including those set by the British in1814)and overcrowded conditions led to the construction of the existing Treasury Building.In1866,the construction of the North Wing of the Treasury Building necessitated the demolition of the State Department building.41.42.43.4445.。
