2017届高考英语二轮复习大题冲关秘籍阅读理解七选五：体验真题（含解析）

　　题组一（2016年高考真题）

　　新课标全国卷ISecret codes (密码) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years. Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography. For example, the first letters of ＂My elephant eats too many eels＂ spell out the hidden message ＂Meet me.＂　38

　　　You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message ＂Meet me＂ would read ＂13 5 5 20 13 5.＂A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. For example, ＂bridge＂ might stand for ＂meet＂ and ＂out＂ might stand for ＂me.＂ The message ＂Bridge out＂ would actually mean ＂Meet me.＂ However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.

　　B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.

　　C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.

　　D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.

　　E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.

　　F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.

　　G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.

　　【】.D 【解析】根据后面一句＂Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making＂可知，此空该选D(只要有密码的存在，人们就会试图去破解它们)。.E

　　【解析】根据后一句的＂For example， the first letters of ‘My elephant eats too many eels’ spell out the hidden message ‘Meet me.’＂可知，此空该选E(你可以拼写每个单词的第一个字母来隐藏信息)。 38.G 【解析】上一段介绍了第一种密码类型，本段介绍的是第二种类型，再根据空后的内容可知，空处选G(另外一种隐藏信息的方式是用符号来代表字母表中的特定字母)。 39.F 【解析】由前一句的＂a code book＂和空后的＂’bridge’might stand for...’me.’＂可知，此空该选F(有了密码书，你就可以写下代表其他单词的单词)。 .A 【解析】本段介绍的是密码书，根据空后的转折可知，此处该选A(没有密码书是很难破解密码的)。新课标全国卷IIA garden that’s just right for you

　　Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 　6 　. But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.● 　7 　 Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). 　8 　.However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.●Recall(回忆)your childhood memoriesOur model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 　9　 — how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 　0　. Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.A. Know why you garden

　　B. Find a good place for your own garden

　　C. It’s our experience of the garden that matters

　　D. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers

　　E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants

　　F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too

　　G. For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you have

　　【】6.F【解析】考查上下文的衔接。根据文章首句及下文的＂But it doesn’t happen by accident＂可知，这里是在讲＂你是否曾去过一个花园但是它不是偶然发生的＂。故F项＂You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden， too＂符合语境。 37.A【解析】考查子标题。根据下文中的＂a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden＂可知，本段的主题应与你想要种植花园的原因有关，故选A项。 38.E【解析】考查上下文的衔接。根据上文的＂Some people may think...＂和＂Others are concerned about...＂可知此处表达的是人们种植花园的不同原因，而E项中的＂Still others may simply enjoy...＂与上下文衔接自然，故选E项。9.C【解析】考查上下文的衔接。根据上文的＂...but that’s not what’s important＂和下文中的＂how being in those gardens made us feel＂可知此处讲的应是什么是重要的，故C项符合语境。0.G【解析】考查上下文的衔接。上文的＂the gardens of your youth＂以及下文的＂your childhood memories＂与G项中的＂those gardens＂和＂the strongest memory you have＂相呼应，故选G项。新课标全国卷IIIEveryone knows that fish is good for health. 　6 　But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 　7 　This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.　8 　Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 　9 　When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.There are many common methods used to cook fish. 　0 　First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.A. Do not buy it.

　　B. The easiest is to steam it.

　　C. This is how you can do it.

　　D. It just requires a little knowledge.

　　E. The fish will go bad within hours.

　　F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.

　　G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.

　　【】本文向大家介绍了如何用简单的方法购买和烹制鱼。6.G 【解析】考查与首句语意的一致性。由空后的句意表示转折可知，转折前的句子在语意上应该保持一致，即说明吃鱼对健康的益处。故选G。7.D 【解析】考查句子的承上启下作用。空前一句提到对鱼的选购、储存和烹制并不困难，空后一句讲本文是关于如何以一种简单的方式购买和烹制鱼的，故选D＂这只需要一点点知识就能做好＂。 38.F 【解析】考查主题句。段落的支撑细节始终围绕主题句展开，本段中第二、三句围绕如何通过嗅觉来鉴别鱼是否新鲜，因此可以判断F项正确。9.A

　　【解析】考查段落中句子间语意的连贯性和代词的正确使用。空前提到，浓烈的气味说明鱼已不新鲜，故不能买这种鱼。据此可知A项正确。0.B 【解析】考查段落中句子间语意的连贯性。本段的主题为如何烹制鱼，下文讲到了烹制鱼的步骤首先，洗净鱼其次，添加调料最后，将装有鱼的盘子放入蒸锅中，蒸8至10分钟即可食用(以重约为一磅的鱼为例)。故选B项＂最简单的方法是蒸＂。【名师点睛】

　　高考七选五解题方法：

　　1.通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。

　　2.分析句型，了解语法构成

　　3.当我们了解了文章大意后，要明确每一个空是填一个整句子还是半个句子。这一点十分重要，它能够帮助我们迅速确定某些空的选项范围，比如，有一个空的结尾处没有标点符号，后文紧跟着一个句子的后半部分，很显然这时我们需要填的是半个句子，这时便可以在七个选项中找到是半个句子的选项，从而缩小选择范围。

　　4.明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。例如第36空，第39空和第40空都与它们的前一句有联系。

　　5.带入通读，复查

　　做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做＂连错＂，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其它空。

　　Passage4(2016·北京卷The Science of Risk-Seeking

　　Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 　71　 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.

　　The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 　72　 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.

　　So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 　 73 　 No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 　4 　 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.　5 　 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.

　　A. It all depends on your character.

　　B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.

　　C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.

　　D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.

　　E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.

　　F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.

　　G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

　　【】这是一篇说明文，作者讲的是有关冒险的科学的探索方面的内容。1.F

　　【解析】选项F中的＂weigh risks and rewards＂与上文的＂weigh the risk and the reward＂相呼应，故F项符合语境。2.C 【解析】选项C中的＂Being better at those things＂与上文的＂were better at hunting fighting, or exploring＂相呼应，因此选C。 73.A 【解析】前文说人们有各种不同的性格，因此你可能喜欢赛车，或者讨厌赛车，故A项＂这完全是由你的性格决定的＂符合语境。 74.E 【解析】根据上文的＂your willingness...teenage years＂及下文的＂hunger for new experiences...＂可知E项符合语境。 75.G 【解析】根据空后的＂For the risk-seekers...becomes active＂可知，此处讲的是面对紧张的局面时我们的大脑会有不同的反应，故G项符合语境。【名师点睛】

　　 1先看选项。跟完形填空不一样，七选五的答案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的位置。另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子，这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。　

　　2再看空前空后。由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。

　　 3注意代词或定冠词。在做这类题目的时候，一定要注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词，因为我们知道，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型，我们要做的就是从选项中找这类句型就可以了。

　　  4注意一些特殊疑问词。如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的，比如对why的回答，后面要有because等表原因的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地点的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方式状语等。

　　 5注意一些连词。如一些表示转折的连词，but，However，yet，though，nevertheless等，另外还有一些表示并列关系的连词如and，also，aswellas，neithernor，eitheror，notonly...butalso，ononehand....ontheotherhand等。因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系，通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系。卷Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries.

　　36

　　In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.

　　One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women.

　　37

　　Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.

　　38

　　They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally ger sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.

　　39

　　Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency(向) to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly .

　　A.However, women, on average, live longer.

　　B.The biological factor plays an important part.

　　C. Women are also helped by their female genes.

　　D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way.

　　E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.

　　F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.

　　G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control carious body functions.

　　【语篇解读】本文介绍了女性比男性寿命长的原因。

　　36.A 根据空格下一句 ＂一般说，女性比男性多活6到7年＂可知此处的意思是：然而，女性平均比男性寿命更长。故选A。

　　7.G 根据空格上句＂男性和女性之间荷尔蒙的不同帮助女性活得更久＂可知此空的意思是：荷尔蒙是身体分泌的控制身体各种功能的化学物质。故选G。

　　题组二（2015年高考真题）

　　新课标全国卷IBuilding Trust in a Relationship Again

　　Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 　36　 Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.

　　Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore. It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.• 　3　 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.• If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a ＂victim mentality＂. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.•You didn’t lose ＂everything＂.Once trust is lost, what is left?

　　Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy.

　　71

　　They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.

　　But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.

　　72

　　Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?

　　So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?

　　First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.

　　73

　　And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.

　　It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. ＂Mindfulness＂, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.74

　　Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.

　　75

　　Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

　　A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.

　　B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.

　　C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.

　　D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.

　　E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.

　　F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.

　　G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.

So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1.Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 　7 　 2.Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 　8　It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3. 　9　This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

　　Hopefully that gives you a good start. 　0　And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Try new things.

　　B. Ability is easily improved.

　　C. Make three or four instead.

　　D. Understand your food better.

　　E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
