　　2024年陜西漢中市高考英語二輪閱讀理解選練（15）（含答案）

　　閱讀理解As children reach kindergarten and early grade-school age, they continue to become increasingly more aware of the wider world beyond home, school and their neighborhood. If you haven’t already done so, this can be an excellent time to teach your child about the environment, and how you can work together to go green as a family. If you’ve already introduced some eco-friendly habits in your home, here are some ways your growing child can contribute more to the greening of his world and beyond.

　　My 7-year-old son discovered a magazine cover on the table that featured a cover line about polar bears being endangered because of global warming. I decided to be straight with him—I said yes, there is a danger to polar bears and other wildlife because of pollution. But I told him that we can all do something to go green and help make a difference, and perhaps help the polar bears and all living things on our planet.

　　My grandmothers were immigrants(移民)who lived through wars in South Korea. They used to constantly remind me to turn off the lights, and even not to use too much toilet paper. As it turns out, these were great lessons. Have your child get into the habit of turning off lights and electronic equipment when he’s not using them. A nice bonus(意外收獲): reducing electricity use can help cut down your bills. A grade-schooler is old enough to understand that water comes from lakes and pools. Explain that wasting it can affect everyone who depends on that water. Wasting water also means wasting energy. A tap that runs for five minutes is equal to letting a 60-watt bulb run for 14 hours, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

　　Make it easier for your grade-schooler to go green by choosing different baskets for glass, metal, paper, and plastic. Have your child draw pictures of recyclable types to mark each basket. Once a season or more, have your child help you look for used clothing, books, toys and other things around the house to give away to local shelters(避難所).

　　【文章大意】本文作者以自己的親身經(jīng)歷告訴其他母親應(yīng)該如何在生活中幫助孩子變得更有環(huán)保意識, 讓他們從小就有保護(hù)環(huán)境的觀念。

　　1. The underlined word“contribute”in Paragraph 1 means　.

　　A. buy　

　　B. use　C. give　D. find

　　【解析】選C。詞義猜測題。由于本句里的introduced說明如果你已經(jīng)介紹給孩子一些環(huán)保習(xí)慣了, 而且在接下來的三個段落中作者本人又給出一些關(guān)于綠色生活的建議。所以這里的contribute的意思是“給出”。

　　2. What makes polar bears in danger according to the passage?

　　A. The global warming at present and in future.

　　B. The pollution of the air in developed countries.

　　C. The loss of the forest all over the world at present.

　　D. The hunt for them by people from across the world.

　　【解析】選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段第一句里的being endangered because of global warming是本題的解題線索。需注意的是B選項(xiàng), 雖然第二段說到了污染危及一些野生動物的生存, 但并不是針對空氣污染而言, 所以不能選B。

　　3. What does the author learn from her grandmothers?

　　A. Make peace with any other country.

　　B. Not moving to other foreign countries.

　　C. Turn off the lights and the water to go green.

　　D. Live a simple life without spending too much.

　　【解析】選C。推理判斷題。第三段作者提到了自己的祖母和外祖母經(jīng)歷過戰(zhàn)爭后尤其重視節(jié)省, 本段的第二句話是解題線索, 第三、四句是作者的體會和經(jīng)驗(yàn), 第五句開始給出了自己也身體力行的理由, 所以答案選C。但是注意D項(xiàng)雖然不錯, 但是和第二句作者的祖母和外祖母的要求相比, 沒有確切說明為了環(huán)保而做的具體措施, 所以不能選。

　　4. What is the best title of the passage?

　　A. Ways to Help Your Child Make Money.

　　B. Ways to Help Your Child Go Green.

　　C. Setting up a Recycling Centre for Your House.

　　D. Setting up Eco-friendly Habits Is Necessary.

　　【解析】選B。主旨大意題。首先要明確這篇文章的作者是一個母親, 她在以自己的經(jīng)歷告訴別的母親應(yīng)該幫助自己的孩子更環(huán)保, 所以選項(xiàng)里的關(guān)鍵詞是child和green。

　　【技法導(dǎo)練】多學(xué)一點(diǎn)　棋高一著

　　閱讀理解——“圈點(diǎn)信息”的細(xì)節(jié)理解題

　　細(xì)節(jié)理解, 就是在原文中能找到的信息, 可以采用“圈點(diǎn)信息”法, 把涉及的信息“圈點(diǎn)”出來, 以便分析利用。做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時, 可使用如下方法:

　　1. 細(xì)心審題, 帶問題“圈”答案。先從問題中抓住關(guān)鍵性詞語(題眼), 然后以此為線索, 運(yùn)用略讀及跳讀的技巧快速在文章中尋找與此問題相關(guān)的段落、語句, 仔細(xì)品味, 對照比較, 確定答案。

　　2. 變通理解, 間接轉(zhuǎn)述“圈”答案。高考設(shè)題常對原句細(xì)微處進(jìn)行改動, 選取原文詞語或結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)行改造, 因果倒置, 把A的觀點(diǎn)說成B的觀點(diǎn)等。所以正確理解題干和信息句的意義是關(guān)鍵。

　　3. 多點(diǎn)歸納, 綜合事實(shí)“圈”答案。全面捕捉相關(guān)信息, 進(jìn)行綜合分析、歸納, 切忌根據(jù)“一面之詞”草率地得出結(jié)論。

　　上篇文章中的第2題為細(xì)節(jié)理解題。審題發(fā)現(xiàn)此題要求尋找, 這樣帶著這個問題去原文中“圈點(diǎn)信息”就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)“”為原因, 由此可以找到答案。

　　答案: 造成北極熊瀕臨危險(xiǎn)的原因全球變暖閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

　　Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred nineteen spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

　　Fred, a lovely young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely differently different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.

　　Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.

　　“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

　　At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

　　1. This year________ teenagers will take part in the exchange program between America and other countries.

　　A. twenty three hundred

　　B. thirteen hundred

　　C. over three thousand

　　D. less than two thousand

　　2. The whole exchange program is mainly to_________.

　　A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America

　　B. send students in America to travel in Germany

　　C. let students learn something about other countries

　　D. have teenagers learn new languages

　　3. What is particular in America schools is that________.

　　C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all

　　D. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.

　　閱讀理解Bedford Castle: The Home of Bedfordshire Royalty

　　Bedfordshire in the south of England had its fair share of royal visits from the early stages of the 10th century onwards and the importance that the county placed on this is evident in the monuments, country houses, churches and any number of other structures that are still present there to this day. Bedford Castle is one of those structures and, although it is nowhere near its former glory today, it is an essential attraction to visit if you really want to grasp what its heritage means to the county!

　　Bedford Castle was built initially as a fortress to help protect Bedfordshire on the south of the River Ouse after the people in the local towns and villages had already been subdued. It was set up in 919 on the orders of King Edward the Elder, although it was destroyed by a Danish invasion years later. This was when it was rebuilt as the castle, of which the ruins exist today!

　　There is a long history behind the castle that involves several kings as a result of the Duke of Bedford being an ardent(熱心的)royalist(保皇主義者). Bedford Castle repeatedly offered the kings of England refuge against various storms in the form of onslaughts(攻擊)from abroad and various domestic threats against them, and this is where much of its fame lies, even though the castle itself is no longer there. There are various tours of the ruins that you can take when you visit though and all of the guides are extremely knowledgeable. They will happily tell you tales of the mound(土丘)and the castle that preceded it.

　　The mound is open to the public all year round and is a proud part of the area’s heritage. It is recommended by the majority of people that you visit Bedfordshire because it tells you much about why the county is currently how it is. You can view the river from the mound and the surrounding settlements as well as the remains of the castle, and every moment spent there is worth it so enjoy the history and the very nature of the county itself!
