高考英语二轮复习专题二阅读理解第三节主旨大意题课后综合提能
- 1 - 第三节 主旨大意题 A (2019·郑州毕业班第二次质测)Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin (普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind. “I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin，” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinesespeaking friends. While it's a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power，” he said. Many experts agree that proficiency (熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy. “People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast，” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We're seeing it in all parts of the country.” Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an “important needs” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for economic competitiveness，” Abbott added. At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.

The reasoning: It stresses children out and it steals “precious family time”． Hmm...I wonder. As a teacher, one of the problems I often come across is that students attach far too little importance to their studies, resulting in bad or incomplete work. I also wonder about the “precious family time”. If homework were abolished, would the time freed up be used for reading poetry aloud at the dinner table or having hearttoheart discussions about the social and political landscapes (局面)? In the age of the Internet and games such as Candy Crush Saga, which have absorbed the time and interest of otherwise intelligent adults, I am doubtful. When I was a kid, homework actually created precious family time. I still remember, after supper, clearing the table and replacing the dishes with my schoolbooks. And then, in swing shifts, my workingclass parents would sit down with me and, to the best of their abilities, help me when and where they could. I've often thought that the homework question could be dealt with if one thought of homework in terms of learning to play a musical instrument. For me, this was the clarinet (单簧管), which I began learning to play at age 9. Every week I took a 30minute lesson from an old Polish man, Mr. Markiewicz. “Practice an hour a day, and you'll be playing the clarinet before you know it.”Because my motivation was strong, I did practice an hour a day, and I did learn to play it in a reasonable amount of time. Let's get rid of homework, but only the word “homework”， and replace it with “practice”. As a teacher, it's all I ask: that my students listen up in class and then go home to practice, so that when they return to me to show me how much they understand, I—and their parents—can be proud of them.

高考英语二轮复习专题突破精练：阅读理解(主旨大意类)
文章大意类A(2021·山东烟台一模)The paper, published in May by the Journal of Marketing Research, analysed purchases made from a single large European retailer and found that free shipping did encourage customers to buy more. But it also increased purchases of items that historically have higher return rates, such as clothing or products from lesser-known brands. Thus, returns also increased as a result of the promotions, to the point where profits were erased.In one part of the paper, during the typically four-week periods when free shipping was offered, online order volumes rose 11%. But when the cost of returns was compared with the sales proceeds(收入), the authors calculated that on balance the results for the promotion periods amounted to an average 0.7% loss.In one analysis that ran for two months, the researchers found that the return rate for customers who bought low-risk products—like office supplies, or products from well-known brands—averaged about 22%.In another analysis, the researchers attempted to better understand motivations of online shoppers by measuring their attitudes towards free shipping. They found two things were happening. First, consumers saw free shipping as compensation for taking a risk on a product. Second, feelings of gratitude for having shipping costs eliminated(消除) made them happy and thus more willing to make a risky purchase.Prof.Neslin advises companies to look at whether their own free-shipping promotions are profitable before they launch such campaigns. Also, he advises companies to identify which products get returned more often than others and try to provide customers with more information about those products, so they can make more informed choices.1.What erased the profits according to the first paragraph?A.The risky customers.B.The European retailer.C.The returned items.D.The lesser-known brands.2.What can we learn from the passage?A.Consumers risked purchasing a product when free shipping came along with it.B.Free shipping encouraged customers to buy products from well-known brands.C.Online order volumes rose only when free shipping was offered as compensation.D.Purchases of office supplies also increased during the typically four-week periods.3.What is the passage mainly about?A.Low-risk products.B.Return rates.C.Increased purchases.D.Free shipping.B(2021·湖北黄冈高三4月模拟)An advance in electronic publishing could make the e-book you are reading seem as dated as a silent film. Publishers hope to explore the growing success of e-books by releasing versions with added soundtracks(电影原声音乐) and musical accompaniments.The noise in the first multimedia books—released in Britain—include the rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part, background scores will create tension.Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for e-books and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noise will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency, said the new generation of computer-literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said,“Young people have split computerscreens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that’s wh at the market wants then we should respond to the market.”Booktrack’s sound effects work by estimating the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of sync(同步), a click on any word will reset it.Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of Our Day, the best-seller now released as a film, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. I have enough trouble reading an e-book because I’m constantly distracted by emails.”Stuart MacBride sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said,“If I’m reading, I will d o the noise in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what teacups clinking sounds like. That would irritate me.”4.What do publishers expect an e-book soundtrack to do?A.Help to release an e-book as a film.B.Help readers improve reading speed.C.Add tension at a book’s exciting point.D.Get readers familiar with the background.5.Who is in favour of added soundtracks for e-books?A.Sherlock Holmes.B.Caroline Michel.C.David Nicholls.D.Stuart MacBride.6.What do we know about Stuart MacBride?A.He was a person who was easy to get angry.B.He knew a great deal of tea.C.Eighty-two percent of his books described crime.D.He imagined sounds related to the story when reading.7.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Opinions about e-books with soundtracks.B.Response to the need of the book market.C.Reasons for traditional e-books becoming outdated.D.Suggestions on encouraging readers’ imagination.C(2021·湖南长郡十五校高三联考)For most people, graduation is an exciting day of the celebration of years of hard work. My graduation day was not.I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to attend the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse. What I thought would take a week dragged into two, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same spot as I was before. And the due date to begin paying back my student loan was drawing closer.You know that feeling when you wake up in fear? That feeling became a constant in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months. And the most frustrating part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any progress.So what did I do to maintain my sanity(理智)? I decided to write. Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter. Something about writing gave me hope. And if you want something badly enough, sometimes a little hope is all you need! So I put my thoughts into a children’s book. And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world—just a lot of hard work and perseverance—I was offered a publishing contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into place. I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview and was hired shortly.The moral of this story is... don’t give up. Even if things look bleak now, don’t give up. If you work hard, things will always get better. Oftentimes all we need is the courage to overcome difficulties.8.From paragraph 2, we can learn that the author probably .A.was having an exciting graduationB.was getting into financial difficultiesC.missed the life in the universityD.had just applied for the student loan9.How did the author change the frustrating situation?A.By sending applications.B.By offering contracts.C.By keeping writing.D.By publishing books.10.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “bleak” in the last paragraph?A.Unattractive.B.Hopeless.C.Thrilling.D.Promising.11.What is the passage mainly about?A.Success belongs to the persevering.B.A contented mind is a permanent feast.C.A smooth sea never makes a skillful mariner.D.Misfortunes tell us what fortune is.1.C解析:细节理解题。

CB(2021·重庆七中高三学情检测) When an editor called to ask if I could photograph a story about fireflies in Mexico,I didn’t check my schedule before I said yes.I’d seen these insects light up the forests in Tlaxcala once before,and I jumped at the chance to go back.While studying,I began exploring Mexico,crossing the country several times by bus.Now I work as a photojournalist in Mexico and along the border,documenting desperate situations that rarely seem to improve for everyday Mexicans.Though necessary and important,news stories don’t reflect the Mexico that I fell for and that is home to so many people I love.An assignment focused on the country’s natural beauty was a welcome reprieve.I had three nights to film the magical scene in the forest.According to our guides,visitors are usually not allowed to photograph the fireflies because the presence of artificial light from electronics can affect their habits.As I started shooting,I adjusted my exposures constantly to account for the fading light.In order to get the composition that I wanted,I placed my tripod (三脚架) on a steep,rocky path and had to steady it during the long exposures.Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal,but the fireflies were very interested in the camer a and,by extension,in me.I stood completely still while they crawled (爬) all over me—my arms,my hair,my face.From what I observed,peak firefly presence happens for only about 20 minutes each night,so I had time for just a few tries.On the last night everything came together.The weather cooperated.I had improved my method for focusing and composing in the dark with quick flashes from a powerful flashlight—and I’d grown accustomed to insects on my face.I was rewarded with the image you see here.Each dot of light is one of several bursts thata firefly makes as it travels within a 30-second exposure.You can trace the insects’ paths: Some make small loops (环),like those in the bottom centre of the frame,while others move steadily in one direction or another.24.How did the author feel about the editor’s request?A.Upset.B.Delighted.C.Confused.D.Embarrassed.25.What can best replace the underlined word “reprieve” in Paragraph 2?A.Relief.B.Return.C.Trend.D.Victory.26.What did the author focus on during the first two nights?A.Learning about the local travel rules.B.Researching the habit of the fireflies.municating constantly with the guides.D.Finding the suitable spot and time to photograph.27.What is the purpose of the text?A.To tell stories about fireflies.B.To introduce a photo to readers.C.To record a travelling experience.D.To show the author’s working conditions.CShould we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic reasons—why they should be preserved.So,let’s assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an olderstyle.Indeed,there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much,it often improves attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,though that might be the more risky choice.28.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.30.By “move things forward” in the last paragraph,the author probably means “”.A.destroy old buildingsB.put things in a different placeC.choose new architectural stylesD.respect people’s feelings for historical buildings31.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.DDuring those barren winter months,with windows overlooking long-dead gardens, leafless trees,and lawns that seem to have an ashy look about them,nothing calms the uneasy nerves more than the vibrant green of plants surrounding the living spaces of one’shome.People browse through garden stores just to get a smell of chlorophyll (叶绿素) and to choose a plant or two to bring spring back into their winter-gray lives.Now there is even more of a need for “the green”,in light of recent articles warning us of the dangers of chemicals that we,ourselves,introduce into our homes.Each time we bring clothes home from the cleaners,we release those chemicals into the closed-in air of our homes.Every cleanser releases its own kind of fumes.Some of the chemicals are formaldehyde (甲醛),chlorine,benzene,etc.Read the labels on many home products,the ingredients aren’t even listed! During the winter,when those same windows are shut tight,we breathe in these chemicals—causing symptoms much like allergies (过敏).In fact,most people probably dismiss the effects of these chemicals simply as some allergy or other.The truth is that we are experiencing a syndrome that is called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.Now,what has this got to do with green plants? Everything is healthy! Research has been conducted with two types of plants that have actually removed much of these harmful chemicals from the air.The two plants that seem to be the best bet for ridding one’s home of such chemicals are ferns (蕨类植物) and palms.These plants release moisture as part of photosynthesis and,as they do,pull chemicals from the air into their leaves.Even NASA has conducted some greenhouse experiments for long-term space exploration.Within hours,their plants [palms] had removed almost all traces of formaldehyde in the room.Both species of plants are ancient,dating back more than a hundred million years.Another trait they share is that they both live long lives,100 years or more.This we expect from trees,but ferns and palms are plants; plants that can grow to 65 feet in the proper setting! Even their individual leaves live for one to two years [ferns] and one to nine years [palms].Perhaps it is their primary qualities that have contributed to their ability to purify their environment.32.Why does the author think we are in greater need of “the green” in our homes?A.To bring our long-dead gardens back to life.B.To get rid of harmful chemicals trapped there.C.To make us feel calmer and less worried.D.To serve as decorations as well as refresh us.33.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The source of thes e chemicals released in our homes hasn’t been identified.B.The chemicals can be removed immediately as soon as the two plants are put into use.C.People tend to underestimate the effects of the chemicals in the closed places.D.People usually buy household products without referring to the ingredients on them.34.As for the two plants,their primary qualities friendly to indoor environmentinclude .A.the ability to absorb chemicals and live longB.their adaptability to indoor environmentC.the fast growth and attractiveness of their leavesD.the release of their moisture and fumes35.Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A.Research in the New Millenniummon Houseplants May Purify Your HomeC.Hidden Dangers in Your HomeD.NASA Experiment Finds the Cure第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AA young executive was traveling down a neighborhood street. He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed（猛撞）into the Jag’S side door! He slammed on the brakes. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and who are you?”The young boy was apologetic. ”Please, Mister. . . Please, I’m sorry (I)didn”t know what else to do. I threw the brick because no one else would stop…”With tears dripping down his face, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “It’s my brother, ”he said. “He fell out of his wheelchair and I can’ t lift him up. ”Now sobbing, the boy asked the executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me. ”Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the boy back into the wheelchair, then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts.A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. “Thank you and may God bless you. ” the grateful child told the stranger.1．The executive slowed down because .A．he saw a boy throw a brick to his carB．he saw a boy rush out from between carsC．he was afraid some boys suddenly rushed outD．a brick smashed into the Jag’s side door2．The boy threw the brick to the car in order to .

Forget your studies for a while. It's time to enjoy yourselves!At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat.But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop. The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election. Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.If you like the idea of a prom, why don't you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?6．What does the word “prom” probably mean in the passage?A．A dancing competition. B．A party held to celebrate graduation.C．A fashion show. D．An election.7．Which of the following is an economical way to hold the prom?A．Renting a ballroom.

The prom is to mark the graduation and after it they will be independent.CColleges are starting to wake up to how sleep deprivation(剥夺) cuts into the academic and athletic performance of their students. All-nighters have become a habit in higher education, but a handful of small new studies help document the consequences.A study at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., showed what may seem obvious to most: All-nighters are not an effective way to succeed in school.“You can’t do your best work when you’re sle ep-deprived,” says psychology professor Pamela Thacher, who wrote the study. Thacher, studied the sleeping patterns and grades of 111 students to see the relationship between sleep and their GPAs.Two-thirds of the students reported that they had pulled at least one all-nighter during a semester. Many students believe that it’s a “rite of passage”(标志) to stay up all night during college and that “it’s kind of fun,” Thacher says.But “if you use all-nighters, your GPA is slightly lower on average,” Thacher s ays. “Pulling all-nighters gives in your (overall) sleep” and makes it difficult to reach full academic potential.Short-term side effects of sleep deprivation include delayed reactions and tendencies to make mistakes.A Stanford University study may help persuade at least student athletes to make more time for bed. Cheri Mah, a graduate researcher at Stanford, worked with six basketball players, who all ran faster and made more shots over a period in which they slept at least 10 hours a night.“Athletes wh o get an extra amount of sleep are more likely to improve their performance in a game,” says Mah, who released results from an ongoing study in June. “It’s not common knowledge, because if people understood how much of a difference (getting more sleep could make athletically,” they’d apply it more to their lives and not focus solely on nutrition and exercise.11．According to the study at St. Lawrence University, ___________.A．one can reach his potential by staying up lateB．it takes one all night to recite a passageC．the less one sleeps, the more effective his work isD．all-nighters affect one’s academic performance12．The underlined word “document” in the first paragraph probablymeans ___________.A．prove B．check C．oppose D．improve1 3．Which of the following statements is true?A．All-nighters are a short-cut to success in school.B．All-nighters can make one’s GPAs much higher.C．Staying up late tends to react slowly and make mistakes.D．The study may help persuade all students to sleep well. 14．According to Cheri Mah, _______.A．athletes improve their performance only by means of nutrition and exerciseB．it is known to all that those who get extra sleep perform better C．people don’t understand getting more sleep can make a difference D．athletes should sleep as much as possible to run faster 15．What is this passage mainly concerned about?A．A study on all-nighters at St. Lawrence University.B．College students’ performance suffering from lack of sleep.C．Short-term side effects of sleep deprivation.D．A Stanford University study on athletes’ sleepDLast year, on report card day, my son and a bunch of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for thelast-day-of-school party at McDonald’s. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight A’s, and Laurie got a cellphone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPod Nano, and she’s only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $ 10 for each A.”I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cellphone, and the portable DVD player?I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle vanish before my eyes-no more of those $ 5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns, runs-batted-in? What about orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? I’d be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that’s about it.”Don’t you just hate that? We’re all running around looking f or the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation.1 6．The sentence “As the homework load increased, my income would decrease.” in the third paragraph probably means _____________.A．taking care of the children would influence my workB．I would spend more money on my children’s homeworkC．reducing children’s homework load would cost me a lotD．more rewards would be needed as the children grew up17．We can tell from the passage tha t the author’s son was in ___________.A．primary school B．junior middle schoolC．high school D．university18．It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.A．if you pay the children for good grades, they would take it for grantedB．if you buy children pizza for good grades, they would work harder C．children would not ask for rewards when they enter high school D．children would not ask for rewards when they enter university 19．The example of the author’s neighb or shows that ____________.A．pizza is the best way to motivate childrenB．reward is not the only way to motivate childrenC．the author’s neighbor was very poorD．the author’s neighbor’s son didn’t like reward20．What is the author’s attitude toward paying children reward for good grades?A．Favorable B．Ambiguous C．Disagreeable D．Unknowable参考答案CDBBD BCBDD 11-20 DACCB DBABC。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校第二部分阅读理解专题十七主旨大意Passage 1(2013·广东，A)Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.Children know this very well. Fred Epstein，in his book If I Make It to Five，tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom，a fouryearold boy with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.Tom loved to pretend，and he particularly loved to play superheroes.Dr Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.The day before his third trip to the operating room，Tom was terribly afraid.“Maybe I could go as Superman，”he whispered to his mom.Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while.She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装)，but finally she agreed.The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman，showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.And Tom，with the strength of his fantasy，successfully made it through the operation.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible，to go through those things that seem impossible，and to achieve what we never believed we could.Just as Dr.Epstein puts it，“If you can dream it，you can do it.”It doesn t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview.But，next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it.Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.So，let your imagination run wild，and dare to dream.【语篇解读】本文用事例说明想象力在我们面对害怕的事情或完成具有挑战性的工作中起着重要的作用，并鼓励我们的想象力自由驰骋，敢于梦想。

How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution（解决方案）. “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager."There are no tests," Gordon says. "There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than 'Are you working towards your goal?' Basically, it’s 'I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.' Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and... it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product."Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact（影响）on college admissions and practical life skills. "These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach." And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.32.

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。

第二步：分析各选项，进行斟酌判断，揣摩哪个选项能准确概括主 旨：根据第一段“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another
teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools ． The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles．(起初是这样的，艾比·哈 拉米洛说，她和另一位老师在四所低收入学校启动了Urban Sprouts学校 花园项目。该项目旨在帮助学生培养科学技能、环保意识和健康的生活 方式。)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Abby Jaramillo等老师在 低收入学校发起的培养学生科学能力、环保意识以及健康生活方式的 Urban Sprouts花园项目，让学生体验乡村生活，对学生影响深远。因此 推断B项“体验乡村生活”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。故选B。
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes．“We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're eating differently，” Jaramillo says．
