閱讀理解—社會生活文化教育類3年高考2年模擬1年原創(chuàng)備戰(zhàn)高考精品系列之英語---精校解析 word版

1、<p>　　3年高考2年模擬1年原創(chuàng)精品系列</p><p>　　專題21閱讀理解——社會生活、文化教育類閱讀</p><p>　　【2018年高考命題預(yù)測】</p><p>　　預(yù)測一 高考閱讀理解所選材料通常都是國外網(wǎng)站上的地道的英語文章，然后經(jīng)過命題專家整合、改編而成。文章主要介紹國內(nèi)外的文化風(fēng)俗、歷史名勝、人文地理、著名人物等。</p>

2、<p>　　預(yù)測二 文章的篇幅較短，詞數(shù)多為280330，兼顧多種體裁，通常有記敘文、說明文、議論文、應(yīng)用文等，要求考生充分利用所給信息，回答文章提出的問題。通常文章難度不大，關(guān)鍵是考查考生高效處理信息的能力，還要求考生對文章有更深層次的理解。但是題目并不容易，很容易出錯。全國卷的命題逐漸向地方自主命題卷，尤其是新課標(biāo)地區(qū)的試卷看齊，不斷增加詞匯量和文章長度，向新課標(biāo)過渡。</p><p>　　預(yù)測

3、三 題目設(shè)置靈活多樣，通常以細(xì)節(jié)理解題為主，推理判斷題為輔，兼顧猜測詞義、句意題及目的意圖題和主旨大意題。這種命題特點(diǎn)要求考生更好地了解文章中的有用信息，提高閱讀速度。</p><p>　　【考點(diǎn)定位】2018考綱解讀和近幾年考點(diǎn)分布</p><p>　　社會文化包括經(jīng)濟(jì)、政治、文化、科學(xué)等各種題材，是高考英語閱讀理解的熱點(diǎn)題材。</p><p>　　它以中西文化差

5、 名師考點(diǎn)透析</p><p>　　考點(diǎn)一、細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)理解。</p><p>　　一篇文章必然是由許多具體的細(xì)節(jié)、具體的內(nèi)容構(gòu)成的，所有這些信息以某種順序（時間、空間、情感變化等）排列起來，來進(jìn)一步解釋或闡釋主題，體現(xiàn)文章的主旨大意。</p><p>　　細(xì)節(jié)理解題目主要考查學(xué)生對文章具體事實(shí)和細(xì)節(jié)的理解能力，屬于表層理解題范疇，難度較小，但在整個閱讀理解題中所占比

6、例最大，細(xì)節(jié)理解題多從文章的某個具體事實(shí)或細(xì)節(jié)出發(fā)來設(shè)計(jì)題目。此類題通常根據(jù)文章具體內(nèi)容來設(shè)問，也常使用下列方式來提問</p><p>　　Which of the following statements is(not) true correct?</p><p>　　Which of the following is not mentioned?</p><p&g

32、既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根據(jù)的推理，也不能根據(jù)表面文字信息做多步推理。做題時要注意題干的語言形，如According to the passage...,It can be inferred from the passage that...；It can be concluded from the passage that...等，雖然從表面上看是問有關(guān)全文的題，但實(shí)際上不用看全篇，仍然只需要根據(jù)選項(xiàng)中的線索找到原文中與之相關(guān)的一句

33、話或幾句話，然后得出答案。針對推理題的不同形，可以采取以下做法：1.假如題干中有具體線索，根據(jù)具體線索找到原文相關(guān)句(一句或幾句話)，然后做出推理；2.假如題干中無線索，如It can be inferred from the passage that...；It can be concluded from the pa</p><p>　　考點(diǎn)四、詞義、句義猜測。</p><p>　　詞

34、義猜測閱讀理解題考查對文中關(guān)鍵詞語的理解。在閱讀理解題中，所考查的詞或短語的意義往往不停留在字面上，要根據(jù)語境來判斷。</p><p>　　此類題的設(shè)問方式主要有</p><p>　　1.The word “...”in Line...means/can be replaced by...</p><p>　　2.As used in the passage,

35、the phrase “...”suggests...</p><p>　　3.From the passage,we can infer that the word/phrase “...” is/referred to...</p><p>　　4.The word “...” is closest in meaning to...猜詞是應(yīng)用英語的重要能力，也是高考中常用的題型。它

36、不但需要準(zhǔn)確無誤地理解上下文，而且要有較大的泛讀量，掌握或認(rèn)識較多的課外詞匯。我們要學(xué)會“順藤摸瓜”，通過構(gòu)詞、語法、定義、同位、對比、因果、常識、上下文等線索確定詞義。</p><p><b>　　1.定義法。如:</b></p><p>　　Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and th

37、en letting it cool very slowly.</p><p>　　句子給予annealing 以明確的定義，即 “退火”。</p><p>　　It will be very hard but also very brittle—that is,it will break easily.</p><p>　　從后面的解釋中我們可以了解到brittl

38、e 是“脆”的意思。</p><p>　　The herdsman,who looks after sheep，earns about 650 yuan a year.</p><p>　　定語從句中 looks after sheep 就表明了 herdsman 的詞義為“牧人”。</p><p><b>　　2.同位法。如:</b><

39、/p><p>　　They traveled a long way and at last got to a castle,a large building in old times.</p><p>　　同位語部分a large building in old times 給出了 castle 的確切詞義，即“城堡”。</p><p>　　We are on the

40、night shift—from midnight to 8 a.m.—this week.</p><p>　　兩個破折號之間的短語很清楚地表明night shift 是“夜班”的意思。</p><p><b>　　3.對比法。如:</b></p><p>　　She is usually prompt for all her class,b

41、ut today she arrived in the middle of her first class.</p><p>　　but一詞表轉(zhuǎn)折，因此but 前后的意思正相反。后半句的意思是“她今天第一節(jié)上了一半才來”，因此反向推理，可得出她平時一向“準(zhǔn)時”的結(jié)論。</p><p>　　4.構(gòu)詞法(前綴、后綴、復(fù)合、派生等)。如:</p><p>　　Perhap

42、s,we can see some possibilities for next fifty years.But the next hundred?</p><p>　　possibility 是 possible 的同根名詞,據(jù)此可以判斷定 possibility 意思是“可能性”。</p><p><b>　　5.因果法。如：</b></p><

43、;p>　　The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken.Sometimes the weakness was permanent.So the player could never play the sport again.</p><p>　　從后面的結(jié)果“永遠(yuǎn)不能再運(yùn)動”中，可以推測 permanent 的意思為“永遠(yuǎn)的，永久”。</p>

45、/p><p>　　Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural

59、and fall of jazz</p><p>　　C．The story of a jazz musician</p><p>　　D．Celebrating the Jazz Day</p><p>　　28. D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultur

60、al Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(聯(lián)合) voice across cultures.”可知，聯(lián)合國教科文組織把4月30號定為國際爵士樂日是為了讓人們重視爵士樂，意識到它的重要性以及它作為聯(lián)接各文化的紐帶的潛在

61、功能，也就是為了讓人們意識到爵士樂的價(jià)值。故選D。</p><p>　　29. C　代詞指代題。根據(jù)前文“Despite the celebrations, though, in the US the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generati

62、ons.”可知，盡管聯(lián)合國教科文組織為爵士樂設(shè)定了紀(jì)念日，但美國的爵士樂聽眾依然在減少，并且年齡在老化。爵士樂沒能將年輕一代人與老一代人聯(lián)接起來。再結(jié)合“It's Jason Moran's job to help change that.”可知，Jason Moran的工作就是幫助改變上述情況，所以可推測that指代的是前文中爵士樂在年輕一代人中失去吸引力的現(xiàn)象。故選C。</p><p>　　3

63、0. C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第五段中的“‘The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same…’”可知，Moran認(rèn)為爵士樂不能以1908或1958年的方式來呈現(xiàn)了，因?yàn)槭澜邕\(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的方式不同，所以爵

64、士樂必須繼續(xù)前進(jìn)才行。這說明隨著時代的發(fā)展，爵士樂也要跟上時代才不會被年輕一代所拋棄。故選C。</p><p>　　31. A　主旨大意題。通讀全文可知本文的主要內(nèi)容是聯(lián)合國教科文組織為提高人們對爵士樂的重視設(shè)立爵士樂日，但實(shí)際收效甚微。有人認(rèn)為爵士樂應(yīng)隨著時代的進(jìn)步而進(jìn)步，否則將失去吸引力。本文主要探索爵士樂的未來，故選A。</p><p><b>　　社會生活類</b&
