　　2017高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编（106）

　　阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　We don’t know how different our future will be in the year 2050. We can only try to imagine it.

　　At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.

　　Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.

　　Spending holiday will also be completely different. Travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.

　　We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.

　　Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

　　【文章大意】本文主要预测2050年的生活将会是怎样的。

　　1. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?

　　A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.

　　B. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.

　　C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.

　　D. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.

　　【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知, 在2050年, 人们主要通过电脑进行交流, 而很少进行面对面的交流, 人与人之间的关系也就淡薄了, 因此那时的人们会感到有点孤独。

　　2. The third paragraph mainly tells us　.

　　A. that computers will do all the things for human beings

　　B. how people will use computers to communicate with each other

　　C. that machines like computers and robots will help people a lot

　　D. how people will use robots to do the housework

　　【解析】选C。段落大意题。根据第三段的内容可知, 计算机和机器人等机器会给人类很大的帮助, 故选C项。

　　. The underlined word“sanguine”in the last paragraph most probably means　.

　　A. disappointedB. surprised

　　C. curious

　　D. optimistic

　　【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据文章最后一句可以猜测出作者认为我们对未来应该持积极乐观的态度, 故选D项。

　　. What does the passage mainly talk about?

　　A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.

　　B. What our life will be like in the year 2050.

　　C. How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.

　　D. What high technology will appear in the year 2050.

　　【解析】选B。主旨大意题。文章的第一段就是本文的中心, 即设想2050年的生活是什么样子的, 故选B项。

　　阅读理解As children reach kindergarten and early grade-school age, they continue to become increasingly more aware of the wider world beyond home, school and their neighborhood. If you haven’t already done so, this can be an excellent time to teach your child about the environment, and how you can work together to go green as a family. If you’ve already introduced some eco-friendly habits in your home, here are some ways your growing child can contribute more to the greening of his world and beyond.

　　My 7-year-old son discovered a magazine cover on the table that featured a cover line about polar bears being endangered because of global warming. I decided to be straight with him—I said yes, there is a danger to polar bears and other wildlife because of pollution. But I told him that we can all do something to go green and help make a difference, and perhaps help the polar bears and all living things on our planet.

　　My grandmothers were immigrants(移民)who lived through wars in South Korea. They used to constantly remind me to turn off the lights, and even not to use too much toilet paper. As it turns out, these were great lessons. Have your child get into the habit of turning off lights and electronic equipment when he’s not using them. A nice bonus(意外收获): reducing electricity use can help cut down your bills. A grade-schooler is old enough to understand that water comes from lakes and pools. Explain that wasting it can affect everyone who depends on that water. Wasting water also means wasting energy. A tap that runs for five minutes is equal to letting a 60-watt bulb run for 14 hours, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

　　Make it easier for your grade-schooler to go green by choosing different baskets for glass, metal, paper, and plastic. Have your child draw pictures of recyclable types to mark each basket. Once a season or more, have your child help you look for used clothing, books, toys and other things around the house to give away to local shelters(避难所).

　　【文章大意】本文作者以自己的亲身经历告诉其他母亲应该如何在生活中帮助孩子变得更有环保意识, 让他们从小就有保护环境的观念。

　　1. The underlined word“contribute”in Paragraph 1 means　.

　　A. buy　

　　B. use　C. give　D. find

　　【解析】选C。词义猜测题。由于本句里的introduced说明如果你已经介绍给孩子一些环保习惯了, 而且在接下来的三个段落中作者本人又给出一些关于绿色生活的建议。所以这里的contribute的意思是“给出”。

　　2. What makes polar bears in danger according to the passage?

　　A. The global warming at present and in future.

　　B. The pollution of the air in developed countries.

　　C. The loss of the forest all over the world at present.

　　D. The hunt for them by people from across the world.

　　【解析】选A。细节理解题。第二段第一句里的being endangered because of global warming是本题的解题线索。需注意的是B选项, 虽然第二段说到了污染危及一些野生动物的生存, 但并不是针对空气污染而言, 所以不能选B。

　　3. What does the author learn from her grandmothers?

　　A. Make peace with any other country.

　　B. Not moving to other foreign countries.

　　C. Turn off the lights and the water to go green.

　　D. Live a simple life without spending too much.

　　【解析】选C。推理判断题。第三段作者提到了自己的祖母和外祖母经历过战争后尤其重视节省, 本段的第二句话是解题线索, 第三、四句是作者的体会和经验, 第五句开始给出了自己也身体力行的理由, 所以答案选C。但是注意D项虽然不错, 但是和第二句作者的祖母和外祖母的要求相比, 没有确切说明为了环保而做的具体措施, 所以不能选。

　　4. What is the best title of the passage?

　　A. Ways to Help Your Child Make Money.

　　B. Ways to Help Your Child Go Green.

　　C. Setting up a Recycling Centre for Your House.

　　D. Setting up Eco-friendly Habits Is Necessary.

　　【解析】选B。主旨大意题。首先要明确这篇文章的作者是一个母亲, 她在以自己的经历告诉别的母亲应该帮助自己的孩子更环保, 所以选项里的关键词是child和green。

　　【技法导练】多学一点　棋高一着

　　阅读理解——“圈点信息”的细节理解题

　　细节理解, 就是在原文中能找到的信息, 可以采用“圈点信息”法, 把涉及的信息“圈点”出来, 以便分析利用。做细节理解题时, 可使用如下方法:

　　1. 细心审题, 带问题“圈”答案。先从问题中抓住关键性词语(题眼), 然后以此为线索, 运用略读及跳读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的段落、语句, 仔细品味, 对照比较, 确定答案。

　　2. 变通理解, 间接转述“圈”答案。高考设题常对原句细微处进行改动, 选取原文词语或结构进行改造, 因果倒置, 把A的观点说成B的观点等。所以正确理解题干和信息句的意义是关键。

　　3. 多点归纳, 综合事实“圈”答案。全面捕捉相关信息, 进行综合分析、归纳, 切忌根据“一面之词”草率地得出结论。

　　上篇文章中的第2题为细节理解题。审题发现此题要求寻找, 这样带着这个问题去原文中“圈点信息”就可以发现“”为原因, 由此可以找到答案。

　　答案: 造成北极熊濒临危险的原因全球变暖阅读理解Bedford Castle: The Home of Bedfordshire Royalty

　　Bedfordshire in the south of England had its fair share of royal visits from the early stages of the 10th century onwards and the importance that the county placed on this is evident in the monuments, country houses, churches and any number of other structures that are still present there to this day. Bedford Castle is one of those structures and, although it is nowhere near its former glory today, it is an essential attraction to visit if you really want to grasp what its heritage means to the county!

　　Bedford Castle was built initially as a fortress to help protect Bedfordshire on the south of the River Ouse after the people in the local towns and villages had already been subdued. It was set up in 919 on the orders of King Edward the Elder, although it was destroyed by a Danish invasion years later. This was when it was rebuilt as the castle, of which the ruins exist today!

　　There is a long history behind the castle that involves several kings as a result of the Duke of Bedford being an ardent(热心的)royalist(保皇主义者). Bedford Castle repeatedly offered the kings of England refuge against various storms in the form of onslaughts(攻击)from abroad and various domestic threats against them, and this is where much of its fame lies, even though the castle itself is no longer there. There are various tours of the ruins that you can take when you visit though and all of the guides are extremely knowledgeable. They will happily tell you tales of the mound(土丘)and the castle that preceded it.

　　The mound is open to the public all year round and is a proud part of the area’s heritage. It is recommended by the majority of people that you visit Bedfordshire because it tells you much about why the county is currently how it is. You can view the river from the mound and the surrounding settlements as well as the remains of the castle, and every moment spent there is worth it so enjoy the history and the very nature of the county itself!

　　A. The royals pay regular visits to Bedfordshire.

　　B. Bedfordshire had its fair share of royal visit.

　　C. Most of the ancient buildings are in use today.

　　D. Bedford Castle represents the history of the county.

　　【解析】选D。主旨大意题。文章第一段主要通过叙述英格兰南部贝德福德郡和皇室的渊源让我们了解它独特的历史, 而代表性建筑贝德福德城堡正是这段历史的见证物, 因此D项反映了本段文字的主旨。

　　2. The kings of England came to Bedford Castle　.

　　A. to seek temporary protection

　　B. to visit the Duke of Bedford

　　C. to enjoy the beauty of nature

　　D. to escape from the bad weather

　　【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第三段可知, 在历史上贝德福德城堡曾多次作为英格兰国王的避难所, 所以可以推断英格兰国王来此城堡多半是“寻求临时庇护”。

　　3. Why are visitors recommended to visit Bedfordshire?

　　A. It is the major heritage in that region.

　　B. It reflects the history of Bedfordshire.

　　C. The ancient castle is well worth visiting.

　　D. The castle is still in good condition.

　　【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据最后一段It is recommended by the majority of people that you visit Bedfordshire because it tells you much about why the county is currently how it is. 一句可知, 游客之所以被建议游览贝德福德城堡, 就是因为它反映了该郡的历史变迁。

　　4. The purpose of writing the text is　.

　　A. to introduce Bedford Castle

　　B. to tell the history of Bedfordshire

　　C. to attract tourists to Bedfordshire

　　D. to show where the kings used to go

　　【解析】选A。推理判断题。结合本文标题和内容可知, 作者写此文的目的主要是向人们介绍贝德福德城堡的有关情况。所以选A。

　　阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is, not surprisingly, his sense of humor. As far as I can tell, he’s the first American President to have one.

　　That’s because the term“sense of humor”really wasn’t in common usage until the eighteen sixties and seventies. In the eighteen forties and fifties, it was called“the sense of the ridiculous”, and didn’t have the positive connotations(隐含意义)that“sense of humor”has today. Back then, what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule(讥笑). Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand. Of course, they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well.

　　Lincoln’s humor was very different because, for one thing, it was actually“humor”as what the word meant in his time. We don’t make the distinction between“wit(风趣)”and“humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did. Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic. It’s the difference we note now when we distinguish between“laughing with”and“laughing at”. Lincoln was much more about“laughing with”than“laughing at”. And when“laughing at”, it was often himself he was teasing.

　　In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debate, when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced, Lincoln replied, referencing his plain looking, “Honestly, if I were two-faced, would I be showing you this one? ”And, in a way, Lincoln’s face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.

　　You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians, soldiers, and the like from Lincoln’s time and not find a single smile.

　　True, the long exposures(曝光)required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult. Yet Lincoln alone, as far as I can tell, overcame that difficulty.

　　Interestingly, while having a sense of humor, or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers, has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time, in the nineteenth century, too much humor was considered a problem. And that was the case for Lincoln. A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debate commented that“I could not take a real personal liking to the man, owing to an inborn weakness for which he was even then notorious and so remained during his great public career, he was extremely fond of jokes, anecdotes, and stories. ”

　　【文章大意】说起第16任美国总统亚伯拉罕·林肯, 很多人会立即想起他对解放黑奴和维护美利坚联邦完整所做出的巨大贡献, 想起他能言善辩的口才和妙语连珠的演讲, 但却很少有人知道, 林肯的“幽默感”也开创了一个新时代。

　　1. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that　.

　　A. the American President could influence the use of English

　　B. the term“sense of humor”wasn’t invented until the 1860s

　　C. what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else

　　D. the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time

　　【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据该段中“didn’t have the positive connotations that‘sense of humor’has today(没有今天幽默感所具有的积极的隐含意义)”和“Back then, what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule. (在当时, 好笑的事就是招致讥笑的事。)”可知C项正确。

　　. The underlined words“this one”in Paragraph 4 refer to　.

　　A. Lincoln’s unattractive face

　　B. Lincoln’s sense of humor

　　C. the debate they were having

　　D. cruelty that went with funniness

　　【解析】选A。词义猜测题。在林肯与道格拉斯的辩论中, 道格拉斯批评林肯是两面派, 而林肯提到自己相貌平平(his plain looking), 接着指出“如果我是两面派, 我还会向你展现我相貌平平的一面吗”。这说明林肯很幽默。

　　. We rarely see people from Lincoln’s time wear a smile in their photos because　.

　　A. being humorous was considered inappropriate

　　B. they found it quite funny to smile before the camera

　　C. not smiling for photographs was the fashion

　　D. photography technology then was not advanced

　　【解析】选D。细节理解题。从原文倒数第二段可知“当时摄影时, 照片曝光时间比较长, 这使得拍照时, 人们很难保持微笑”。

　　. What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debate?

　　A. His comment accurately reflected his time.

　　B. He created a false picture of Lincoln.

　　C. He was prejudiced and self-centered.

　　D. He was brave to point out Lincoln’s weakness.

　　【解析】选A。推理判断题。报道林肯与道格拉斯的辩论的记者所说的话准确地反映了当时那个时代。
