2021高考英语(四川专用)二轮复习-第4部分-阅读理解解答技巧-专题3-.docx

Ⅰ.体验高考
(2022·湖北)You've flown halfway around the world；you've sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of；so what on earth is there to do here？You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.
It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee.By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out，it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.
Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin，about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok，down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand.Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.
There's an apparent laziness that surrounds you here.It's what this place offers，and it's free of charge.The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down.You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest.You sit there and watch the sea.
It's early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what you'd like to eat this evening.Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered－every meal fresh and to order.No menu here.
There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm，clear blue sea.There's no street noise.The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.
For now you just count your blessings (福祉)，listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾)．You don't have to worry about being late for work.You don't have to do anything.
The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线)，slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re­emerge again on your left，now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you.Sand to your left and sand to your right；it's unbroken，endless.No start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace.Step off it，and you re­enter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry.
Normally you're the type who can't sit still for more than ten minutes，but you're on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and，in the right frame of mind，it stretches all the way around the world.
“How could it take me so long to find it？”you wonder.
【语篇导读】　文章描述了 Huaplee Beach的大体位置、饮食和在这里度过的奇特时间。
1．When the author first went to Huaplee Beach，_______________________.
A．he found it unworthwhile
B．he failed to sort himself out
C．he became sensitive to smell
D．he had difficulty in finding it
解析　推理推断题。依据文章其次段It was a long journey...it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland，第三段其次句Not many tourists find this place.可知这个地方不好找，作者找到这个地方耗时很长，因此答案为D。
答案　D
2．What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?

C．Self service. D．Quick delivery.
解析　细节理解题。第五段文章涉及饮食，依据该段最终一句No menu here 可知答案为A。

3．In the author's opinion，a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ______.
A．sits in a beach chair

解析　推理推断题。文章第七段：For now you just count your blessings，listing them in the sand with your toe.You don't have to worry about being late for work.You don't have to do anything，和第八段：No start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace.Step off it，and you re­enter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry.都描述了在Huaplee Lazy Beach享受的奇特时间。但第八段的最终一句Step off it，and you re­enter the world of traffic，stress，work and hurry，一旦走出这里，人们又要回到日常生活中，面临工作、交通、压力和快节奏的生活，而要享受Huaplee Beach则需要临时抛开这些，即答案为B。
答案　B
4．What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?
A．He shouldn't have counted his blessings.
B．He should have understood the wonder of nature.

答案　D
Ⅱ.仿真、模拟
Passage 1
体裁：谈论文　话题：健康生活　时间：7分钟
A new study suggests you are where you live—at least in terms of weight.
A rural address could be a risk factor for being overweight，according to the research published in the fall issue of The Journal of Rural Health.
The study，led by researchers at the University of Kansas，analyzed data from the National Center for Health Statistics.They said it is the first in more than 30 years to use actual measurements of height and weight，rather than self­reported data，which can be unreliable.
About 70 million Americans，or 23% of the population，live in rural areas.The researchers found that 39.6% of them are obese(肥胖的)，while 33.4% of urban residents are obese.Including overweight people as well，the comparative totals are 70.8% and 67.1%，the study said.
The factors at work could be the “cultural diet” of rural America，as well as the isolation(隔离) that often exists，said the lead researcher，Christie Befort，assistant professor of preventive medicine and public health at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
That diet includes “rich homemade foods” with lots of meat and desserts，she said.Rural Americans typically consume more fats than their urban counterparts，the study found.
Another factor could be the increased mechanization(机械化) of farm work，Befort said.Older generations showed less difference in weight than younger ones—older farmers would have put in more physical labor，she said.
“Although some intervention(介入) research has begun to address obesity among rural adults and families，great attention needs to be focused on widespread effective programs in rural areas，which contain some of the largest medically underserved communities in the nation，” the researchers said.
【语篇导读】　肥胖症的争辩有了新的发觉——居住地也是造成肥胖症的重要因素。39.6%的美国乡下居民患有肥胖症，这与油腻的饮食、农场机械化、落后的医疗服务等有很大的关系。
1．What do we know about the study about weight in the passage?
A．The new study is the first study of rural obesity in the past 30 years.
B．The new study is the first time to research into the cause of obesity.
C．Results in the past years can be inaccurate as they haven't adopted actual measurements.
D．The result of the new study is not reliable at all.
解析　推理推断题。依据第三段可知，这个争辩分析了国家健康中心的数据，是近30年来第一次使用身高和体重的实际测量数据，而不是使用未必牢靠的“自我报告的数据(self­reported data)”，从这些信息可推知，过去的争辩数据不是很精确     ，不太牢靠。因此选C。
答案　C
2．What do we know from the fourth paragraph?
A．The rural population in America has increased by 23%.
B．About 27.72 million rural Americans have the problem of obesity.
C．Obese people have moved to live in the countryside for its natural environment.
D．23% of the 70 million Americans live in the countryside.
解析　推理推断题。第四段说美国人口的23%，即七千万美国人，住在农村，其中39.6%是肥胖者，因此B正确(39.6%×70 million＝27.72 million)。C项文章未提及，A、D项均是对第四段第一句话的曲解。
答案　B
3．What does the report suggest to deal with the problem?
A．Calling on the farmers to do more physical work.
B．Paying attention to widespread effective programs in rural areas.
C．Getting farmers connected with each other.
D．Persuading people to move to the urban area.
解析　细节理解题。依据最终一段可知，争辩者认为应当更关注向农村——那里有医疗服务极其低下的地区——推广有效的项目，由此推断选B。
答案　B
4．What does the underlined word“address” in the last paragraph mean?
A．deal with　　 B．write down　　
C．refer to　　 D．cure
解析　猜想词义题。最终一段争辩员介绍了如何应对肥胖问题，因此该词的含义应当是“应付，处理”，而不是“治疗”。
答案　A
【长难句解读】　
原文　“Although some intervention(介入) research has begun to address obesity among rural adults and families，great attention needs to be focused on widespread effective programs in rural areas，which contain some of the largest medically underserved communities in the nation，” the researchers said.
译文　争辩者称：“尽管已经开头了一些介入性的争辩来解决乡村成年人与家庭的肥胖问题，但也需要关注向乡村地区大范围地推广有效的项目，在乡村有些地方医疗水平极其低下。”
分析　Although在句中引导让步状语从句，which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词rural areas。
Passage 2
体裁：记叙文　话题：关爱动物　时间：7分钟
My husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year.Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month.We were busy through those hot summer months，driving between visits.Our services were strictly held at the pet owner's home.It was almost too busy for the two of us，but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meeting before the owner leaves.
One day，we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave.We met the family，filled in a form，and spent some time with their dog，Hercules.He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue.The family laughed as he did this，showing us that he was very loving.
Two days later I appeared at the house，alone.I came up to Hercules and said hello happily.I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made.Meanwhile，he was so lovely sitting beside.I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners，a usual service.After the light and “click” sound went off，Hercules rushed at me.I didn't know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood.I ran out and did the only thing—calling my husband.
Then I went to neighbors for help.My husband arrived after ten minutes.The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen(圈)．Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital.The nurses quickly moved me to a room.I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner，“Am I going to die？” He replied，“Finally.”

Passage 3
体裁：记叙文　话题：助人为乐　时间：15分钟
On a cold winter day，a group of strangers band together to save three children.
The 30 miles of switchbacks(急转弯) that snake through the pine­covered mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat.
But Roger Andersen，a 46­year­old father of four，wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve，when he set off for an unexpected ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nine­year­old daughter Mia，four­year­old son Baylor，and nine­year­old neighbor Kenya Wildman.Andersen had driven through the canyon hundreds of times over the years.
“We ski in that area at least 20 times a year，” says Andersen.“I know the spots that ice up a lot in the winter.”
The weather was glorious for hitting the slopes—30 degrees and sunny—but the higher they drove，the slicker(滑溜溜的) the roads became.Rounding a sharp turn at mile maker 473，Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and tapped his brakes(刹车) suddenly.In an instant，the Honda Accord was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway，then slipping down a steep ten­foot embankment(路堤) toward the cold Logan River.As it hit the water，the car tipped toward the passenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.
There was no time to tell the kids what to do.The crash had broken a few windowsand within seconds，the cab of the upside­down car was filled with water.“It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater，” remembers Andersen，a soft­spoken product development manager.“You're thinking，‘Is this how it's all going to end？'”
Then，Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids.Mia had been right next to him in the front seat；now，in the blackness，he couldn't find her.“I thought，if I don't get out，maybe none of us is going to get out.” Andersen untied his seat belt，swam through a broken window，and gasped for air at the surface.That's when he saw a group of men，about ten in all，appear at the top of the embankment.One after another，they jumped into the water，shouting,“Who else is in the car？”Andersen says respectfully,“It was like the sight of angels.”
【语篇导读】　Andersen的车不幸落入冰冷的河水中，一群素昧平生的人对车里的人开放了一场生死营救……
1．Which word can best describe the feelings of most drivers when driving on this slope?
A．Nervous. B．Curious.
C．Excited. D．Puzzled.
解析　推理推断题。其次段提到这段30英里的路急转弯多，足以让多数司机手心出汗(are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat)，据此可推知，多数司机开车走在这段路上的时候应当都格外紧急，故选择A。
答案　A
2．What Andersen says in Paragraph 4 shows that ______.
A．he is used to driving on such a dangerous road
B．he has great confidence in driving on this steep road
C．he likes to ski on such a steep downhill road
D．he would not meet such trouble as other drivers did
解析　推理推断题。由Andersen说的话可知，他一年要在该地区滑雪至少20次，也对该地区冬天的状况很了解，由此推想他走这条路时格外有信念，故选择B。
答案　B
3．How did Andersen escape from the crashed car at last?
A．He was saved with the help of some passers­by.
B．He swam out of a broken window.
C．He broke a window nearby.
D．He drove his car out of the water.
解析　细节理解题。从文章最终一段可知，Andersen在车里找不到孩子，自己松开平安带，从一个破的车窗里游了出来，故选择B。
答案　B
4．Andersen's attitude toward these men's rescuing the children might be that of______.
A．doubt B．satisfaction
C．sympathy D．appreciation
解析　推理推断题。从最终一段Andersen的回答“It was like the sight of angels.”可推知，Andersen 对这些人的见义勇为是格外感谢的，故选择D。
答案　D
【长难句解读】
原文　As it hit the water，the car tipped toward the passenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.
译文　当接触到水面时，车子向副驾驶那一边倾斜，稍停了一下，然后底朝天跌入河中。
分析　这是一个复合句，As引导时间状语从句，the car tipped...为主句，其中的四个动词为并列谓语，表示按时间依次发生的动作。

One of those big social networking sites，Facebook，has attracted over 58 million members.Commentator Melody Cramer is no longer one of them.Here is what she shares with us about her story.
I deleted all 1,281 of my co­workers，second­grade classmates and people who I don't know at all.I shut down my account，completely.I'm 25，and I've been on Facebook since March of 2004，which makes me one of the website's earliest users.

At first，I used it obsessively.If I had a free moment，I'd log on to see whether my friends had updated their profiles.I'd sit alone scrolling through these updates and then run into someone at a coffee shop and have nothing to say because I already knew everything about them，and they knew everything about me.
In November，I went to my five­year high school reunion and was not pleasantly surprised.Lauren became a model，Josh went to law school，Dina was a teacher.I hadn't talked to any of them since graduation，but I knew exactly what they were doing，both now and last week.But lately，I'm overwhel
