2016届广东省高考英语二轮精华复习课件：阅读理解

　　Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. ［难句理解］ 结构分析：在I realized后的that引导一个宾语从句；在该宾语从句中，all those things是主语，其后的that，引导一个定语从句并在从句中作主语，no longer did是谓语；though引导一个让步状语从句。

　　汉语大意：在那期间的某个时候，我意识到，原来对我似乎非常陌生的或者不寻常的事再也不陌生或不寻常了，虽然我学习当地的语言并未取得进展，回到美国时已是一个不同的人了。 41. The underlined phrase “swap meets” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.

　　A. fitting rooms

　　B. trading fairs

　　A. what caused the shipping accident

　　B. when and where the shoes went missing C. whether it was all right to use their shoes

　　D. how much they lost in the shipping accident C

　　细节理解题。由第二段二、三、四句 “He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn’t.

　　A. By collecting information from beachcombers. B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber. C. By searching the web for ocean currents models. D. By researching ocean currents data in the library. A

　　细节理解题。选项D“打电话询问有关海 上任何有疑问的物体的情况”与文中call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean(打电话咨询关于所发现的海上漂浮的不寻常的物体)意思相近，故选D。选项A无中生有；选项B“记录了海上任何丢失物”，过于绝对，考生注意，凡是含any, all等过于绝对的选项，要重点核查文中是否有信息支持；选项C“管理一个全球洋流研究协会”与文中He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts (他甚至发起了一个海滨拾荒者与海洋专家协会)意思不同,应排除。 A.

　　B. He can write down the note he hears. C. He is a top student at the law school.

　　D. He can play the musical piece he hears. 26. What is special about Samuel Osmond?

　　D

　　细节理解题。由第一段中的However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them可知选D。正确选项是该句的缩写。顺便提醒，有however或but的地方往往是出题的地方，可要注意哟。

　　A. Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents. B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician. C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability. D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers. 27. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? B

　　细节理解题。由第二段最后两句 “Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish

　　of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music”可知，Samuel按父母的意愿想做律师，按音乐教师的建议又学音乐。可见，原计划是做律师而不是音乐家的，故选B。选项A(学法律是违背父母意愿意)与事实相反；选项C与“They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special.”不符；选项D错对各半，易误选，因学法律是父母的意愿而非老师的建议。 A. received a good early education in music B. played the guitar and the piano perfectly C. could play the piano without reading music D. could play the guitar better than his father 28. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he _____. C 细节理解题。由第三段最一句Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised和第 三四句 “I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music…”可知，他不识乐谱就能演奏钢琴，故选C。 A. He became famous during a special event at his college. B. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately. C. He plays the piano better than many professional pianists. D. He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces. 29. What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4? B

　　B. The Story of a Musical Talent C. The Importance of Early Education

　　D. The Relationship between Memory and Music 30. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? B

　　主旨大意题。也属主旨要义题。第一段第二句however后就是全文的主题句，再结合全文，都是说学法律的Samuel有音乐天才，故选B。 A. She knew the car drivers well.

　　B. She wanted to show kindness. C. She hoped to please others.

　　D. She had seven tickets. 31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her? B

　　推理判断题。第一段说Natalie Smith

　　为其后面的六辆车交费，第二段交待了其中的原因,

　　是她看到的 “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty”这句话给了她深刻印象，由此推断，她是受这句话的启发，她是在Practice random kindness，即show kindness，故选B。 32. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she _____.

　　A. thought it was beautifully written B. wanted to know what it really meant C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom A

　　细节理解题。由第三段第三句“I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters可知，选A。选项B文中无信息支持，无中生有；选项C“决定将其写在仓库墙上”与文中“在离家很远的一个仓库墙上看到这句话”意义不同，张冠李戴；虽然文中有她老公将其写在教室的墙上，但并不是她要他写的，更不是她抄写这句话的目的，与事实不符。 A. Judy Foreman. B. Natalie Smith.

　　C. Alice Johnson. D. Anne Herbert. 33. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage? D

　　细节理解题。本题是问“谁想出这句话来的”，由第四段中的 “It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper”可知，是Anne Herbert想出这句话来的。可用排除法，Natalie Smith是在朋友的冰箱上看到的，Judy Foreman是在仓库的墙上抄下来的，Alice Johnson是从她女儿那得知的，她女儿是因为Judy Foreman的老公将此句写在教室的墙上而得知的，故不是这三个人想出来的。

　　34. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?

　　A. Kindness and violence can change the world. B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior. C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves. D. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character. C

　　推断句子意义。推断词、短语或句子意 思，需结合上下文去理解。本段中先是Anne Herbert解释她想出的那句话的意思：你认为 (生活中或世界上)应该多一些存在的事，那么 你就随意去做这样的事。接着说她想象中的这类事包括“给破旧教室粉墙”“在穷人区的厨房 里留下热饭”等善举。那么该段结尾的话“善举和暴力一样可以在它们自己的基础上建立起来”，其真正的含义是什么呢？再看看接下来 这一段，特别是第一句“随意的善举是可以传 播或蔓延的”，可知“善举同暴力一样是可以自我繁衍的”，故选C。 A. People should practice random kindness to those in need. B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others. C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet. D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay

　　it back to the giver. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? B

　　adv.任意地 fantasy

　　n. 想象中的事

　　hand over交给

　　a local news reporter当地的一个资讯记者 pay your fare为你付了车费 some lady up ahead前方有个女士 It turned out that… 原来是 impress sb. 给某人留下深刻印象 be informed被告知 spot

His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge.

　　B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer.

　　C. He took pride in having contributed to the world.

　　D. He felt honored to study English literature.

　　36. What do we know about the author?

　　A

　　细节理解题。由第一段第二句 “My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical(我的学位是英国文学，尽管成绩优异，但并没有真正让我具备任何实用的东西)”可知，作者的大学教育注重的是理论知识，选A。 37. According to the Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author.

　　A. discussed his decision with his family

　　B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends A

　　推理判断题。由第二段最后两句In short,

　　I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family(总之，我并没有轻易决定申请灯塔计划，我的家人也一样没有轻易决定此事)和第三段首句Eventually, however, I won the support of my family(然而，最后我赢得了家人的赞同)可以推断出，申请灯塔计划，是作者与家人一起讨论商量决定的。 38. In his application for the volunteer job, the author ____.

　　A. participated in many discussions B. went through challenging survival tests C. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary work D. faced strong competition from other candidates

　　D

　　推理判断题。由第三段的第二句 “After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone”可推知，作者面临了与其他候选人的激烈竞争。选项A“参加了许多讨论”，文中无信息支持，是无中生有，应排除；选项B“经历了富有挑战性的生存测试”，特别是由survival可知，编题者利用了文中的只言片语(survive test)，编造与文中不符的信息，迷惑考生，应排除；选项C“写了相当多的有关志愿者工作的论文”与文中“sent in all the paperwork needed for the application(呈送申请所需要的所有文书)”不符，应排除。 39. On arrival at the village, the author was ___.

　　A. asked to lead a farming team

　　B. sent to teach in a schoolhouse C. received warmly by local villagers

　　D. arranged to live in a separate house C

　　细节理解题。由第四段Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family可知，一到达这个村庄时，他受到村民的热情接待，故选C。文中信息是具体细节，正确选项是对其概括。选项A (带一个农业团队)是对I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse(带领一小队当地人建一座新校舍)的曲解；选项B(派到一个学校教书)与文中大约一年后在这所学校教书不符；选项D(被安排住在单独的房子里)与they offered their homes…as if I were their own family不符。 40. What can we infer from the author’s experiences in Nigeria?

　　A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local culture. B. He had learned to communicate in the local language.

　　C. He had overcome all his weaknesses before he left for home.

　　D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students. A

　　推理判断题。由最后一段第一句all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did…and returned to the United States a different man可知，作者已适应了当地习俗，与之前相比，作者变化相当大，由此推断，作者为了适应当地文化是不容易的，故选 A。由though I did not get anywhere with the local language(虽然我学习当地语言并没有取得成效)可排除B(他学会了用当地语言进行交流)；选项C(在他回家前已经克服了所有的缺点)，文中既找不到任何信息依据，也因all使得此种说法过于绝对，应排除；选项C(他被选为最受尊敬的老师)在文中没有信息支持，无中生有，应排除。 with honors成绩优异 anything practical任何实用的东西 survive the test通过考查 desperately in need of 迫切需要 accommodation

　　n. 住处 report for the duty报到上班 presentation
