(英语)高三英语阅读理解技巧(很有用)及练习题

（英语）高三英语阅读理解技巧(很有用)及练习题 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 American college students are becoming more adventuresome as they study abroad, showing less interests in English-speaking destinations such as Great Britain and Australia and more in such countries as China, India, Argentina and Brazil. Britain remained the most popular study destination in 2005, according to annual figures from the Institute of International Education, followed by Italy, Spain and France. But the number of American students studying in Britain and Australia descended a little, even as the number of American students abroad rose by 8%. The growth came in non-English speaking European countries and in Asia. China is now the eighth most popular destination for American students, attracting nearly 6,400 in 2005, up 35% from the number of the year before. Argentina and India saw increases of more than 50%. Allan Goodman, president of the Institute of International Education, said that a range of factors contributed to the trend, from growing awareness of globalization after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, to programs such as former President Bush's National Security Language Initiative, which trains soldiers, intelligence officers and diplomats in foreign languages. “What Americans are doing is waking up and discovering there's a world out there,” he said. Other figures showed the flow of students in the opposite direction, from foreign countries into American universities. The institute found that international enrollment (入学) in American higher education remained steady at about 565,000. The figures are of keen interest to universities, which depend on foreign students for teaching and research help, and to policy-makers, who consider it important, as future foreign leaders may be familiar with the United States. The year of 2005 saw big increases in students from South Korea, Mexico and Taiwan of China. India sends the most students and China is No.2. Other countries that show large percentage increases in the number of students sent to the US include Nepal and Vietnam, while Japan, Turkey and Malaysia saw declines. About 58% of international students in the US come from Asia. （1）What does the underlined word “descended” in Paragraph 2 means? A. Changed. B. Declined. C. Multiplied. D. Increased. （2）Why do more American students study in Asia? A. They expect to get more teaching and research help. B. They lose confidence in English-speaking countries. C. They are afraid that terrorist attacks will happen again. D. They prefer to explore a different world from their own. （3）Where were most foreign students in America from in 2005? A. China. B. India. C. Argentina. D. Britain. （4）What can we infer from the passage? A. There were 6,400 American students studying in China in 2005. B. Chinese students to America will overpass Indians in the future. C. International enrollment in American higher education changed a lot. D. Asian students

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

高考英语阅读理解高分技巧

高考英语阅读理解高分技巧 英文阅读是目前国内英语(精品课)各种类考试中，分值最高，难度较大的一种考试题型，其中绝大多是的都是选择型阅读题，也就是大家经常见的给一篇文章然后选择正确答案的那一类型的题目，那么问题来了，做阅读题都要有哪些注意事项呢? 首先，阅读理解的选择题型共分为三种： 细节理解(包括图形识别题); 推理判断(其中包括根据上下文推理文意题，筛选对错题，以及词义推断题); 主旨大意(包括段落大意和全文大意或给文章取题目) 根据不同的题型我们要“具体问题，具体分析” 其次，这些题型分别爱出现在三类文章中： 社会类文章，人物类文章，科普类文章。 所谓社会类文章多以社会现象和社会生活为主，贴近生活但涉及范围很广，这类文章大多爱考细节理解题和推理判断题，这些题会经常提问具体的人物(who)、地点(where)、原因(why)、什么事情或者东西(what)、哪一个(which)、如何(how)以及什么时间(when)。而做这些题有“正做法”与“反推法”，正做即画出题干关键词，带有针对性的回文章直接找答案，反推即把ABCD四个选项逐个带入原文进行检查筛选，而同学们在考试时需要注意的是，“正做的反推查，反推的正做查” 所谓人物类文章则以人物传记和人物经历为主，多具有故事性，趣味性以及教育性，文章大部分是外国人写的外国人物，文章严谨性和逻辑性较强，因此除了细节理解题之外多会考察推理判断中的词义推断和文意推理，主旨大意题一般会出现在这篇文章的最后一题。主旨大意题多是以这样进行提问的“According to the passage…?”或”What can we learn from…?”对于这样的题型，同学们应做到抓住每个段落的中心句(一般位于首句或末句)总结归纳文章的中心思想。 所谓科普类文章是以人生哲理、先锋科技和史地文化为主，内容最多涉猎面最广，也是多以主旨大意题和推理判断为主，但由于这类文章的特殊性，它们多是以说明文或议论文的文体出现，所以中心思想很好把握，大部分位置集中在首段一二句的位置或者尾段收尾的句子中。 那么问题又来了，在我们阅读文章的时候需要哪些方法才能提高阅读速度? 首先，如果您不是在考试，而是平时自己在家阅读外文读物或者做小练习的话，就必须认真阅读，并且把新单词和好句型收集起来，养成做读书笔记的好习惯，其实通过阅读而背下的单词才是真正能直接打到掌握类层次的，即便只是达到一个认知类层次也是无可厚非的。 考试，随即我们来说一下，考试时为什么不能通读全文。有些基础好的学生发现，即便自己把文章每一处细节都读懂了，在做题时依然会出错，尤其是出错在推断题上和大意题上。其实原因很简单，相同的文章不同的人阅读完都有自己不同的见解，因为思想和切入点不同，所以我们往往都会下意识的选择自己认为对的那个选项，极具主观性，从而忽略了题目的客观性。太傅经常跟同学们说：“人家文章问的是作者的意思，不是你的意思”说的就是这么个理儿。 略读法，推读法，概读法，跳读法，细读法等等都是学生们能从教参教辅上查阅到的阅读技巧，其实就是“能否读懂文章和能否做对题是两回事”太傅在这里不做细说，只跟大家说在平常的学习中如何养成好的阅读习惯，那就是做到精读和泛读，所谓精读就是通过仔细查阅文章中的每个单词和句法了解文意，而泛读即指的是广泛阅读大量文章，前者指的是深度，后者指的是广度。而文章来源除了学校老师给大家发的卷子和习题之外，还有一个很重的但容易被大家忽视的资料——听力原文。个人观点认为，阅读理解也好，完型填空也罢，没有任何人能在“临阵磨枪后出奇制胜”，这是除了“最强大脑”以外，平常人根本不可能完成的，也在此斗胆奉劝各位同学：学习没有捷径，更不要相信所谓短期内突飞猛进的大招，有的只是你日复一日所带来的日积月累的收获，正所谓“君子终日乾乾，夕惕若，厉无咎。” 1

高考英语阅读解题技巧强化

高考英语阅读解题技巧强化：推理与复述 衡东县第一中学罗咏凌 高三下期经过一系列的强化训练后，学生对于英语各题型的解题能力大有提高，不少学生的英语成绩也取得了突破性的进展。但是越接近高考，特别是在最后一个月里，有的学生就越感到迷茫，心情也越来越焦躁。因为他们感觉到阅读训练花的时间最多，而且有关阅读的各项专题我们都已复习到位，但是这一段时间所取得的进步相对于以前却慢多了。有的同学甚至形成一种错误的观点觉得阅读训练的越多，得分反而越少。特别是五月份衡阳市联考的英语阅读试题中第二篇第63题，大部分同学包括一些英语成绩平时非常优秀的同学选错答案，这种现象不禁引起了我的深思。就其原因，尽管我们已经做过有关阅读细节理解，推理判断等专题训练，却忽略了阅读理解选项中复述句与推理句的区别及相关训练，使得学生此方面能力仍然比较薄弱，能够取得的进步当然也就受到了限制。 （衡阳市2009年五月联考题阅读理解第二篇） 63. Which of the following can be inferred? (正确答案为 A) 但是绝大部分同学选D.（A qualified pilot has to pass comprehensive examinations on political and military

theory）.即使在已经给出正确答案后，他们还是觉得无法理解。其实这个句子是对原文They had also passed comprehensive examinations on political and military theory, flight skills, management and mental health的复述，而非推断。 因此加强此题型的分析与训练是非常必要的。我制作了两个多媒体课件作为对学生的一个专题训练，并取得了很好的效果。在课件中我采取了以下几个步骤： 一．从概念上着手辨析复述与推理的区别。 复述（Restatement）是用另一种表达方式来表达句子，但它所表达的观点与原文是一致的。而推断（inference）是根据原文所给的信息得出的一个推断或结论。 二．强调推理判断题的设问方式。 1. What is implied in the sentence(s) ... ? 2. It is implied in the passage that 3. The passage implies/suggests that 4. It can be inferred/seen/concluded from the passage that 5. Which of the following can be inferred from this passage? 6. Which of the following can be concluded from this passage?

高三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析

高三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 When you go to the doctor, you like to come away with a prescription．It makes you feel better to know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo. A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or ail empty capsule. Even though they have no medicine in them, these things seem to make people well. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen? The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it. But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better. Placebos do not always work. The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all. A placebo can also have bad effects. If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine, then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebo. This would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your body. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it. The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo． （1）What do we know about placebo according to the passage? A. It contains some sort of medicine. B. It won't function if you are negative about medicine. C. People who don't believe placebo can't be healed by it. D. Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body. （2）Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo? A. The patient needs help badly． B. The patient believes in the doctor． C. The doctor knows better about your body． D. The doctor has carefully studied medicine． （3）What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The placebo. B. The bad effect. C. The body. D. The medicine.（4）What is the passage mainly about? A. Placebo：Work on Your Mind B. Placebo：The Most Powerful Medicine

2017届全国高考英语阅读理解汇编（1）英语试卷SYS201708100601 一、阅读理解 详细信息 1. 难度：中等 阅读理解。 Many of us still tend to think that emotions can affect reasonable thought，and sometimes land us in trouble. But in recent years psychologists have taken quite a different view. Keith Oatley，Professor of Psychology at Glasgow University，is involved in the research which shows the fundamental importance of emotions. He believes we are very ambivalent about them：we think of our emotions as being unreasonable，but we also consider them as essential to being human.For example，Mr Spock，a character in the television series Star Trek，is superintelligent and he has no emotions at all.However，he is never made captain of the spaceship.Maybe，this is because Mr Spock is not the kind of person you can share your feelings with—a person who shows his emotions. As Professor Oatley points out，our emotions have very important functions，for example，fear.If we cross the road and a car approaches，we usually stop moving or step back.We stop what we are doing，check what we have done and pay very careful attention to the environment.The emotion of fear makes us take this small series of actions which，on average，help preserve our safety. On the other hand，if things are going well and small problems come up，we find we can solve them with the resources we have to hand.As a consequence，we tend to feel happy and usually continue doing the job. Anger is an emotion that tends to occur when someone is preventing us from doing something.Then this small “kit” of reactions enables us to prepare ourselves to be quite aggressive to that person，or to try harder，and so on. Professor Oatley believes emotions generally occur at these important moments in actions.With fear and anger our emotions make us decide to start doing something else，while with happiness they “suggest” we continue what we are already doing. 1.What’s Keith Oatley’s opinion about emotions?
