2017届河北省衡水名校高考英语一轮复习撬题对点练：专题18 主旨大意题（含解析）

　　Passage 1

　　限时：6分钟

　　体裁：记叙文　题材：社会生活类　难度：中词数：264

　　At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder.

　　It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

　　In my first literature class, Mrs Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

　　She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are no different from your classmates, young man.”

　　I tried, but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

　　In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me.

　　It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education. But Louis didn't give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

　　Wasn't I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed， I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

　　I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words：“See what you can do when you keep trying？”

　　作者讲述了自己克服阅读障碍，发现了一个新的自己的经历。

　　Passage 2

　　限时：6分钟

　　体裁：说明文　题材：食物文化类　难度：难词数：289

　　Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.

　　Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.

　　Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.

　　Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red­colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.

　　Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.

　　在特殊的场合提供食物有着不同的含义，本文介绍了不同的食物文化。

　　1．According to the passage, sharing bread ________.

　　A．indicates a lack of food

　　B．can help to develop unity

　　C．is a custom unique to rural areas

　　D．has its roots in birthday celebrations

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.”一句可知，分享面包可以促进团结及信任。]

　　2．What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?

　　A．Trust.

　　B．Success.

　　C．Health.

　　D．Togetherness.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“A coin is put into the cake, which signifies success in the New Year for the person who receives it.”可知答案。]

　　3．The author explains the role of food in celebrations by ________.

　　A．using examples

　　B．making comparisons

　　C．analyzing causes

　　D．describing processes

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。文章二、三、四段说明了在庆祝活动中分享食物的不同文化，作者使用的是举例的写作手法。]

　　★4.What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．The custom of sharing food.

　　B．The specific meaning of food.

　　C．The role of food in ceremonies.

　　D．The importance of food in culture.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。本文重点说明了食物在不同文化中的重要性，故D项全面地概括了文章的主旨。]

　　1．fundamental adj. 基础的

　　2．tradition n. 传统

　　3．celebration n. 庆祝，庆典

　　4．particular adj. 特别的，特殊的

　　5．symbol n. 象征

　　1．serve as 作为，充当

　　2．play a role in... 在……中扮演角色

　　原文：Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness.(whether...or...的用法)

　　Passage 3限时：7.5分钟

　　体裁：说明文　题材：健康类　难度：中词数：363

　　Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain (保持) a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging， yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins (内啡肽), and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.

　　Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor. If you're tired

　　of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!

　　If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!

　　Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.

　　本文介绍了集体锻炼对健康的好处。作者建议如果你希望有健康的生活方式，最好是有一群积极向上的人在你身边一起进行集体锻炼。

　　★1.The first paragraph focuses on________.

　　A．the greatest challenge of group exercise

　　B．the most effective way to improve physical fitness

　　C．the contribution of group exercise to psychological health

　　D．the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups

　　答案　C　[主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“...studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for physiological health.”可知，本段侧重介绍集体锻炼对心理健康的好处。]

　　2．The underlined word “upbeat” in the second paragraph probably means “________”．

　　A．cheerful

　　B．average

　　C．serious

　　D．temporary

　　答案　A　[词义猜测题。画线词前面提到在健身房锻炼受到打击，感觉失落，所以作者建议参加积极乐观的小组去锻炼。可知A正确。]

　　3．When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks it necessary________.

　　A．to sustain a colorful lifestyle

　　B．to party on weekends with positive people

　　C．to try a fun healthy restaurant regularly

　　D．to surround yourself with supportive people

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive.”可知D正确。]

　　4.What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Seeking Support

　　B．Supporting Health

　　C．Improving Your Strength

　　3．beneficial adj. 有益的

　　4．opportunity n. 机会

　　1．be good for 对……有益

　　2．surround sb. with... 用……包围/围绕着某人

　　3．provide sb. with sth. 给某人提供……

　　Passage 4限时：8分钟

　　体裁：夹叙夹议文　题材：人物心理类　难度：难词数：338

　　You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided. But that's not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us. Fear tells us about danger. Without fear,

　　we wouldn't know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff (悬崖)．

　　In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places, and activities. Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride (过山车)．

　　Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids. Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals， especially endorphins and dopamine, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr. In addition, when you're scared， your body produces a chemical which helps people bond_with each other.

　　“Watch people walking out of a haunted house (鬼屋), and you'll see lots of smiles and high fives (击掌)，”

　　Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don't worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.

　　Kerr said that things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear that makes us more confident. “You become more

　　comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you're better able to work through it during tense situations，” said Kerr.

　　So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.

　　本文主要讲述了人们为何会产生恐惧。它告诉我们，恐惧有时会帮助我们成功解决环境的压力，所以我们要学会爱上自己的恐惧，把不利转化为有利。

　　★1.What's the best title for the passage?

　　A．Ways to Build up Team Spirit

　　B．Fear, a Sign of Weakness

　　C．Love Your Fear

　　D．Different Ways to Deal With Fear

　　答案　C　[主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是最后一段，可以看出作者的观点是人应该先爱上自己的恐慌，然后坦然面对。故选C。]

　　2．Which of the following is True according to the passage?

　　A．Fear is harmful to our health.

　　B．Fear is something to be avoided.

　　C．Experiencing fear helps us to build a sort of endurance to fear.

　　D．People who get scared easily have no chances to get changed.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据文中第一段“Fear is something to be avoided. But that's not true...”“Fear can be good for us.”和倒数第二段“...help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear...”可知答案，故选C。]

　　3．The underlined phrase “bond with” is closest in meaning to ________.

　　A．get closer to

　　B．fight against

　　C．look down upon

　　D．be more careful with

　　答案　A　[词义猜测题。A项，get closer to“接近”；B项，fight against“反抗”；C项，look down upon“瞧不起”；D项，be more careful with“对……更小心/仔细”。根据文中“That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit.”可知是让人走的更近，故判断选A。]

　　4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned to experience fear?

　　A．Read scary books or see scary movies.

　　B．Take a scary roller coaster ride.

　　C．Attend challenging trips or physical activities.

　　D．Take some medicine containing endorphins and dopamine.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据文中第二段最后一句“...scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride (过山车)．”和第四段“...schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities...”，可知A、B、C均正确。故选D。]

　　1．scream n．/vi. 尖叫声；尖叫

　　3．scared adj. 害怕的；恐惧的

　　4．physical adj. 物理的；身体的

　　5．helpful adj. 有帮助的；有益的

　　Passage 5限时：7分钟

　　体裁：说明文　题材：经济类　难度：中词数：338

　　Fund Tianhong Zenglibao has become the first fund in China to hit 100 billion yuan ($16.30 billion) of sales thanks to its cooperation with Yu'ebao, Alibaba's wealth management product.

　　Alipay (支付宝), attached to the e­commerce giant Alibaba Group, announced in June it would offer its users the option to directly invest with the private Tianhong Fund using spare cash from Alipay accounts. The business is called Yu'ebao.

　　The past five months have seen this fund blossom, owing to the prosperous Internet e­commerce platform, and Singles' Day shopping spree on November 11 had helped Yu'ebao. In the process of a deal on Taobao, once the buyer pays for the order, his or her money is first accepted by Alipay, and then after he or she receives the goods, a final confirmation is made and Alipay then gives the money to the seller. If a buyer forgets to confirm payment, the money is transferred into the seller's account after 10 days by the system.

　　Singles' Day had a total volume of 35 billion yuan ($5.75 billion) and thus a large amount of money passed through Alipay's account. Analysts estimated that Alipay may have also bought the fund using the extra income, which powerfully enlarged the scale of Yu'ebao. Profit purchasing investors tend to choose safe financial management tools. The relatively stable yields of Yu'ebao is favored by most customers, the report said.

　　Chinese e­commerence giant Alibaba allows consumers to invest their spare cash in the money market funds through its Alipay online payment service. The product, called Yu'ebao, or “Leftovers Treasure”， has netted 130

　　billion yuan so far, making the fund's management firm, Tianhong Fund, the country's largest fund management company.

　　Meanwhile, due to the cooperation with Alipay, the management scale of Tianhong monetary fund has doubled from 55.653 billion yuan at the end of September to over 100 billion yuan. During Singles' Day, the frequency of payment of Alipay and Yu'ebao

　　exceeded 188 million and 16.79 million with total transaction volume at 35 billion yuan and 6 billion yuan.

　　本文主要介绍了天弘基金是如何成为中国第一大基金的。

　　1．The fund has been successful so far mainly because ________.

　　A．it is the country's largest fund

　　B．it was the first fund in China to cooperate with Yu'ebao

　　C．consumers can directly invest the spare cash in it through online payment service

　　D．the online shopping is prosperous and Singles' Day shopping makes a great contribution

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据第三段的“The past five months have

　　seen this fund blossom, owing to the prosperous Internet e­commerce platform, and Singles' Day shopping spree on November 11 had helped Yu'ebao”可知，基金的成功主要在于网购的繁荣和光棍节的购物，即D项正确。]

　　2．From the passage, we can know that Alipay ________.

　　A．allows sellers to invest their spare cash in the money market funds

　　B．is attached to Yu'ebao

　　C．has doubled to 55.653 billion yuan at the end of September

　　D．transfers the money from the buyer to the seller directly

　　答案　A　[推理判断题。根据第二段“Alipay (支付宝), attached to the e­commerce giant Alibaba Group, announced in June it would offer its users the option to directly invest with the private Tianhong Fund using spare cash from Alipay accounts. The business is called Yu'ebao.”可知，支付宝允许购买者将多余的钱投资到基金，即A项正确。]

　　A．Yu'ebao, the right choice to invest

　　B．Alibaba helps make China's largest fund

　　C．Celestica, the largest fund in China

　　Passage 6

　　限时：7分钟

　　体裁：议论文　题材：人与自然类　难度：中词数：290

　　According to the UN Intergovernmental Panel (专家咨询组) on Climate Change, global temperatures have risen by approximately 0.6 ℃ in the past century, caused mainly by emissions of greenhouse gases produced by human activities, such as

　　the

　　burning

　　of fossil

　　fuels

　　and

　　deforestation. Temperatures are to increase between 1.6 ℃ and 5.8 ℃ in the next century， accompanied by sea level rise and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events.

　　The best available evidence suggests that climate changes since the 1970s may already be causing over 150,000 deaths annually， and that greenhouse gas emissions would increase disease burdens

　　in

　　the

　　coming

　　decades.

　　The

　　risks

　　are concentrated in the poorest population, who have contributed least to the problem.

　　The Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书) is signed by 128 nations, and commits the participating industrialized countries to cutting emissions of greenhouse gases by over 5% below 1990 level by the period of 2008－2017.

　　“Over 600 thousand people died in weather­related disasters in the 1990s. Temperature and rainfall influence the rates of diseases and infections including malaria, and malnutrition, which together cause over 3.5 million deaths a year. The Kyoto Protocol is the first step towards protecting the climate system, which exerts such a strong influence on our health”， said Dr Kerstin Leitner, Assistant Director­General for Sustainable Development and Healthy Environments.

　　While acting to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is also essential to protect vulnerable (脆弱的) communities from the effects of climate changes.

　　WHO works to promote measures such as protection from malaria and other climate sensitive diseases, and reliable access to clean water and sanitation, for people in

　　the most vulnerable

　　developing countries. Increasing disease control efforts will also help to protect current and future generations from the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions.

　　这是一篇关于气候变化的文章。人类的某些行为导致的气候变化会危害人类自身，我们要采取必要的措施来拯救我们自己。

　　1．According to the passage, what is the reason for the rise of global temperatures?

　　A．The burning of fossil fuels.

　　B．The rise of sea level.

　　C．Extreme weather disasters.

　　D．The emissions of greenhouse gases.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“global temperatures have risen...emissions of greenhouse gases”可知，D项正确。A项是产生温室气体的行为之一，故可排除。]

　　2．Which of the following is true?

　　A．Weather­related disasters caused over 3.5 million deaths.

　　B．The climate system has a deep impact on human health.

　　C．The members of the Kyoto Protocol are all industrialized countries.

　　D．The poorest population are to blame because they contribute least to the problem.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。A项与文章第四段中的“Over 600 thousand people died in weather­related disasters...which together cause over 3.5 million deaths a year”不符；C项意为“京都议定书”成员国都是工业化的国家，与文章第三段的内容不符；D项与文章第二段的最后一句话不符。根据第四段中的“The Kyoto Protocol...on our health”可知选B项。]

　　3．In order to protect communities, WHO takes some measures except ________.

　　A．preventing diseases caused by climate changes

　　B．helping to provide clean water

　　C．aiding to offer sanitation

　　D．gaining access to vulnerable developing countries

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“such as protection...sanitation”和“Increasing disease control efforts”可知A、B、C三项正确。由“for people in the most vulnerable developing countries”可知D项错误。]

　　4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

　　A．Climate changes and the effects on human health.

　　B．Climate changes cause over 15,000 deaths annually.

　　C．WHO promotes measures such as protection from malaria.

　　D．The Kyoto Protocol helps to protect human health.

　　答案　A　[主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，B、C、D项均是文中某一方面的内容，比较片面，A项最能概括文章大意。]

　　1．global adj. 全球的；总体的

　　2．accompany vt. 陪伴；伴奏

　　3．annually adv. 每年

　　4．concentrate v. 集中；浓缩；全神贯注

　　5．participate v. 参加；参与

　　6．influence n．/vt. 影响

　　1．in the next century 在下个世纪

　　2．in the coming decades 在即将到来的几十年

　　3．in the 1990s 在20世纪90年代

　　原文：While acting to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is also essential to protect vulnerable communities from the effects of climate changes. (连词＋非谓语结构)

　　译文：在采取行动去减少温室气体排放的同时，保护脆弱的社区生活免受气候变化的影响也是很必要的。

　　仿写：We have to take environmental protection into account/consideration when_developing_the_economy.

　　发展经济的同时，我们必须考虑保护环境。

　　易错题：纠缠细节，忽视主题

　　[例]　Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.

　　You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.

　　Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating...

　　Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room...

　　Don't forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal..

　　Downsize the dishes.

　　Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat...

　　Q：What can be a suitable title for the text?

　　A．Is Your House Making You Fat?

　　B．Ways of Serving Dinner

　　C．Effects of Self­Consciousness

　　D．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

　　[错解]　D

　　[错因分析]　在解答主旨大意题时，如果考生过于纠缠文章中的细节，而不从总体上把握作者所要阐明的主要内容，就容易将文章中出现的细节误认为是文章或段落的中心思想，从而造成误选。

　　[答案]　A　本文主要介绍的是房屋的窗帘、灯光的设计、墙壁的颜色、餐具的大小、吃饭的速度等因素都会影响一个人的食欲和食量，进而影响节食效果和身材。故A项“你的房屋在使你发胖吗？”作为文章标题最佳。
