一、题型说明
阅读理解题型为选择题,共15个小题。本题向考生提供3至4段短文,总阅读量不少于1000个词。短文题材涉及日常生活、史地、文化、科技常识、人物传记等。体裁有记叙文、说明文、应用文等。每篇短文后有数量不等的问题或不完整的句子。要求考生在仔细阅读短文以后,从每个问题或不完整的句子下面的4个选项中,选出可以用来回答问题或补全句子的最佳选项。
二、解题指导
“阅读理解”题考查的是考生的阅读理解能力。考生应能通过阅读掌握每篇短文的主旨大意、主要事实、有关细节以及上下文的逻辑关系等;既能看懂字面意思,又能推论出隐含意思;既能回答就文章局部细节提出的问题,又能回答有关文章总体内容的问题。在具有一定的词汇知识和语法知识的基础上,考生需要进行大量的阅读训练,以提高阅读能力和速度。
解题方法主要有:
(1)先看问题,后读文章。带着问题阅读,具有针对性,解题较快,比先读完全文再逐道做题要节省时间。
当然这样做,对考生要求较高,适用于进行过一定量的阅读训练的考生。考生 刚开始进行阅读训练时,可以先读文章再看问题,当训练达到一定程度,考生开始熟悉作者的思路和出题者思路之后,即可采用先看问题后读文章的方法。
(2)抓住文章的第一段和每段的第一句,不可放过最后一段和每段最后一句。一般来说,文章的第一段是提纲挈领的关键段,每段的第一句是此段的关键句,而最后一段和每段最后一句往往起到总结作用,抓住了它们,就可以预测话题,并有助于理解全文。
(3)抓住关键词。关键词主要是动词,找出了谓语动词和非谓语动词,就弄清了句子的脉络结构,有助于迅速抓住句意,而连词、副词等,也是理解语段的关键,不可轻易放过。
(4)遇到生词或看不懂的地方,不要停步不前,可以先做个记号,跳过去,读完全文。这样往往不会影响理解全文大意。如果感到这些部分影响了对全文的理解,可以回过头来细读,通过上下文和分析句子结构等来推测其含义。
(5)要特别注意文中的信息点,如时间、人名、地名、数字等。读时最好做上标记,以免做题时搞混。
下面举出一篇实例。
Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry.(注意开篇第一段,点出本文展开的话题)
In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm
family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived
nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became
smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move
again whenever necessary. And large families cannot be moved from place to place as smaller families
can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.(注意连词 because 和 And 引出的句子)
In the future, because of industrialization,a typical family will be required to move even more often
than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists only
of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take child raising as their chief work. At the
same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to
job.(注意 also引出的细节内容)

A. Development of science and industry in America.
B. Influence of science and industry on American families.
C. The harmful effect of industrialization.
D. Social problems resulting from the highly developed science and industry in America.(注意第一段)
2. According to the writer, what is one of the reasons why families are getting smaller in America?
A. Children tend to leave their parents when they grow up.
B. People no longer want to have children.
C. The need for workers who are able to move at any time has been increasing.
D. Both old and young people prefer to live by themselves.(注意第二段中的 because)
3. Who will take the chief responsibility of raising children in the future?
A. Parents themselves. B. Grandparents.
C. Social workers. D. A small number of families.(注意最后一段的最后一句)
4. What can you infer from the passage?
A. Science and industry have caused thousands of families to split.
B. Children do not like to live with their parents or grandparents.

I love traveling. When I was a child, my parents used to take me to explore and learn about my little country, Israel. My first trip abroad was at the age of ten to Paris, France, and I fell in love with it. One thing I knew already— the world is big, and for me, it was just the beginning of a long journey to come.
Some of my best trips took place when I was young and traveled with my family. However, as I grew up and started traveling on my own, I realized how traveling had changed me. The planning, the traveling itself, being all alone, meeting new people, spending hours in airports and on buses, trying new things— all have taught me so much. Most important of all, it shaped me to be the person I am today. Meanwhile, I made new friends, started speaking new languages, discovered new places. But it is never enough— the excitement of traveling is priceless.
Since the end of 2015, I have been living in New York City ( NYC) with my husband and our beautiful dog. We enjoy exploring NYC, as well as traveling around the world.
Nothing in my life has stopped me from traveling, but I am still learning how to balance (平衡) my daily work and hobby(爱好). My traveling patterns have changed through the years, but the fire inside keeps burning, and I know I' ll never stop going on new trips.

Kondo's way of tidying up things is known as the KonMari method. It sets out how to organize things. Its followers must first sort out(分类处理) clothes, then books, papers, and at last objects that are connected to a special memory. Anything that doesn't spark (激发) joy should be thanked and then thrown out.
Kondo has gathered many fans. She says,“ If you want to lead a life that sparks joy, there's only one thing you must do. And that is to tidy your home.”
However, some people said that the KonMari method is too harsh, especially when it comes to books. When Kondo said she only kept about 30 books in her home and had thrown away all the rest, many people were against her. They said that having books makes them happy. When they think of someone throwing away books or having only a few books, they become angry. But Kondo replied becoming angry shows how much they love books. That in itself is a very important advantage of tidying up.

David was earning money for college by working at a store in the late afternoon and early evening.

He did not tell his boss that he had an important test early the next morning.
On Thursday morning David slept through the alarm (闹钟). But, luckily, he was woken up by the telephone half an hour later. He arrived at the exam as the test papers were being handed out.

A number of children with special educational needs are home educated when schools cannot meet their needs.
As a parent, you must make sure that your child receives a full- time education suitable to their age and ability from the age of five. You do not need to be a good teacher and your child does not have to follow the National Curriculum (国家课程标准) or take national tests. There is no money directly from the central government for parents who decide to educate their children at home, but the local (当地的) governments do provide guidance for parents, including free National Curriculum materials.

“ Most children carry their phone in their back pocket, and when someone reaches for it, in my mind they’ re reaching for a gun,” said Della Fave, a spokesman(发言人) for New Jersey police. Della Fave shared a photo of the iPhone case(外壳) that he found on a social website (网页). In the photo, a model stands with her phone in her back pocket, and the case looks like a gun.
Della Fave said,“ If a child draws the phone with the gun- like case before policemen, the first thing they' re going to see as it's coming up is a gun. This doesn't seem like a good idea at all to a policeman.”
The phone case is sold online by various sellers at prices from about $5 to $49 and comes in several different colors.“ The case is popular. That's why we sell it. If you have the case, you can play games of shooting at parties,” said the Trend Shop.“ Don't worry. You can't actually shoot anyone!”
A policeman gave a few words of advice,“I would NOT suggest buying this kind of phone case, which was designed to look like a gun.”
It is not clear who makes the case.“ If it's on the web, then it's out there somewhere; that's the bottom line,” said Della Fave.

A zoo is a place where animals are kept and displayed (展示) to the public. Some people argue that a zoo need not be a place for animal display alone, and may also include raising animal species(物种) which are becoming less and less.
Animal rights groups are divided on the matter of keeping animals in zoos—— with some in favor of this practice, and others calling for a ban(禁令). The most important reason that those in favor of this practice put forward is that it offers protection for animals. For those species which are fighting for their life, zoos are the best places where they get plenty of food, water and medical care when needed.
Those who are against the practice argue that the idea of“ displaying animals to the public” is itself a strong enough reason for banning. They further add that the practice of using animals for our own selfish gains cannot be a good reason under the excuse of protection. The treatment of animals in these zoos is yet another big worry, with quite a few reports about ill- treatment(虐待) of animals once in a while.
It's very difficult to come up with a clear idea on whether it is right to keep animals in zoos or not. It is true that the animals are protected in these places as they don't get into conflict with humans. But, at the same time, one has to admit that keeping them in zoos equals a disrespect for nature. These animals are born to live in the wild, and we should accept this fact.
43. Some animal rights groups are in favor of the zoo because it can .
A. attract visitors B. make money C. train animals D. protect animals
44. Those who are against the zoo think that people should .
A. let animals live in the wild B. sell animals in zoos
C. use animals for fun D. raise animals at home
45. Which is the closest in meaning to conflict ( Para. 4)?
A. Fight. B. Connection. C. Argument. D. Company.
46. What would be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Zoos— Best Places for Wild Animals B. Is It Right to Keep Animals in Zoos?
C. Zoos— Places or Fun to the Public D. How Should Animals Be Treated in Zoos?

物的保护。故本题选D。 44.【答案】A
【应试指导】推理判断题。根据第三段可知,反对动物园的人认为,“向公众展示动物”本身就是个足够有力的 反对理由,利用动物牟取私利的做法不能成为保护动物的正当理由,且动物园虐待动物的情况时有发生。由 此可推断,反对的人认为,人们应该让动物回归自然。故本题选A。

Lid your child's brain become smaller last summer? Probably not, according to a study by Dr. Harris Cooper, professor at the University of Missouri- Columbia. The study found that when students return to school after a long summer vacation, they' ve lost one to three months worth of learning.
This is more harmful for math than it is for reading.“ All students lose math skills, ” says Cooper. It may be because kids(小孩) have more chances to practice reading than math. Middle- class children actually learn more in reading than lower- income students over the summer. Cooper feels that this results from the variety of activities that many middle- class kids take part in over the summer, such as camping(野营) and trips.
“ Parents can help their kids keep educational skills,” says Cooper. He suggests the following tips to have a learning- filled summer.
1. Keep lots of books around and make regular trips to the library. Most libraries offer special summer events for kids.
2. Think about what your kids may be learning next year when you plan the family vacation. Talk with teachers to find out what they’ll be covering in class.
3. Keep math in mind. Since kids lose more math skills than anything else over the summer, try to do some special planning to find math- related activities.
4. Consider summer school. Struggling kids can get a lot of different kinds of help from summer school programs. Summer school can also enrich and quick them learning in areas where kids show a special interest.
Remember to keep it fun! You don't want to make your kids unhappy with learning during the summer break.
47. What did Dr. Harris Cooper find in his study?
A. Kids love reading more after the summer.
B. Kids show a special interest in math after the summer.
C. Kids’math skills become weaker after the summer.
D. Kids have a lot of fun in the summer.
48. Some kids gain in reading over the summer probably because they .
A. join in a variety of activities B. go to the library every day
C. spend their vacation in a school D. receive a special training in reading
49. Parents can find out what their kids will study next year by .
A. doing math- related activities B. having a learning- filled summer
C. reading the textbooks D. talking with the teachers
50. What are parents advised to do for their kids in the summer vacation?
A. Let their kids work in the library. B. Keep their kids studying at home.
C. Help teachers prepare for new lessons. D. Send their kids to summer schools.

四、阅读理解:共15 小题;每题3分,共45分。阅读下列短文,然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选择项中选出最佳的一项。
A
Some farmers in California are having a hard time picking their crops. There are not enough workers to help them with the harvest.
One farmer used to grow peaches (桃子), but will soon grow almonds (杏仁) instead. Peaches require more labor to harvest. They are easy to be damaged and need careful hand picking. He is now removing his peach trees. Then he will plant almond trees in their places. Almonds are harvested differently. It does not take as many workers to pick them because a machine shakes the almond trees. The nuts fall on the ground and then are gathered up. The farmer does not have to hire many workers.
Some farmers think there are two reasons why they can't find enough farm workers. One reason is that there are a lot of well- paid construction jobs in the area. Many people are taking these jobs instead of picking fruit. The other reason is that it has become more difficult for workers to come from Mexico into California. Fewer workers are allowed to get into the country to work on the fruit farms. To settle the problem, farmers hope the government might allow these workers to work as guests. That would help workers provide for their family and help farmers harvest their crops. When the harvest season is over they’ ll go back home. Farmers say that unless things change , more fruits will come from other countries. This is because labor is cheaper in those countries than in the United States.
36. What problem do some farmers have?
A. They have no workers to remove fruit trees. B. There is little land for growing fruit.
C. Their crops were badly damaged last year. D. It's difficult to harvest their crops.
37. Why does the peach farmer start to plant almonds?
A. There is a greater demand for almonds. B. Growing almonds takes much less land.
C. A machine can help get almonds off the trees. D. Almonds will fall on the ground when ripe.
38. Why can't some farmers find enough workers to pick fruit?
A. They grow too many peach trees. B. People prefer well- paid construction jobs.
C. Few people want to work in California. D. They don't want to hire workers from Mexico.
39. What will happen if the situation does not improve?
A. The government will hire workers to help with the harvest.
B. More people will move to California from Mexico.
C. Other countries will provide cheaper labor for US farmers.
D. More fruits will be bought from other countries.

Scientists have long tried to be able to know more about floods. So far, the best that scientists can do is to recognize the conditions for flooding.
Although deep snow alone seldom causes floods, when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather, it can lead to serious flooding. If there is a fast snow melt (融化) on top of frozen or very wet ground, flooding is likely to occur. Melting snow also causes high water levels in rivers. Whenever rivers are already at their highest possible levels, heavy rains will result in the rivers' flooding the nearby land.
Rivers covered in ice can also lead to flooding. When ice begins to melt, it breaks into large pieces. These pieces of ice move and float down the river. They can block the river, causing the water to rise and flood the land up the river. If the ice dam (坝) breaks suddenly, the large quantity of water held behind it can flood the areas down the river too.
Broken ice dams are not the only problem that can cause flooding. When a large human- made dam breaks or fails to hold the water collected behind it, it will also cause serious damage.
Although scientists cannot always know when floods will occur, they do know a great deal about when floods are likely, or probably, going to occur.
40. What have scientists achieved in dealing with floods?
A. They have prevented many rivers from flooding.
B. They have reduced the damage caused by floods.
C. They have learned much about conditions for flooding.
D. They have found most of the ice dams on the river.
41. When will deep snow lead to floods?
A. The snow suddenly gets frozen.
B. The top of the ground becomes wet.
C. It rains hard with a big rise in temperature.
D. The snow melts gradually into a river.
42. What happens when ice dams break?
A. They may quickly block the river.
B. The ice covering the river may melt fast.
C. A larger ice dam may soon be formed.
D. The areas down the river may be flooded.

It was Sharing Day! The teacher had asked the students to bring something interesting to class.
Jimmy found the little box he and Dad had made. Inside was a piece of rock, a sand dollar and a shark (鲨鱼) tooth. Nobody could have anything as interesting as these!
In class, Jimmy waited anxiously, hoping to be called on first by the teacher. But Kara was first. She held
up a sand dollar. Jimmy's eyes grew big.
“I found this on the beach,” Kara said.“ It's interesting. The little holes that make the sand dollar look like a flower are breathing holes. See all the needles? They help the sand dollar move and dig into the sand.”
Jimmy was a little uneasy. Oh, well, he still had his rock and shark tooth.
Then Mark stood up.“ This is my favorite rock, called pumice (浮石).” Then Mark dropped the rock into
a glass of water.“ Look! Pumice is the only rock that floats!”
Jimmy put up his hand and waved , but the teacher called on Justin instead.
“I found this shark tooth in Hawaii last Christmas,” Justin said.
The class was excited, but Jimmy lowered his head.
“ Sharks have rows of teeth. Every time a shark loses a tooth, another one takes its place.” Justin passed the tooth around.
Jimmy heard the teacher call him. He stood on one foot and then the other.“ Well, ah, see... my treasure
box is interesting! It was just a piece of wood until Dad and I cut it into pieces and finally made a box out
of it. It smells good, reminding us of camping.”
“ What’s inside?” asked Lisa.
Jimmy opened his box.“A sand dollar, a piece of pumice and a shark tooth.”
His classmates' mouths dropped open. The teacher looked at the objects in the box and smiled.“ Now
that's interesting!” he said.

Nineteen- year- old Melissa Goza couldn't figure out why she failed to get a bank card time and time again. It only became clear when she was unsuccessful while looking for a new job in a Target store: Three different people are using her Social Security number (社会保障号).
Target is one of the companies using credit (信用) reports when hiring new workers. At least one credit report didn't favor Goza in getting the job. A very low credit rate (评价) was under Goza's Social Security number. Target, as required by law, told Goza why the company couldn’t offer her the job.
Sacramento lawyer Jennifer Shaw, a specialist in workplace law, says credit reports are just one more way employers use to find dishonest job seekers.“I think we need to know that, right now, there's more information out there. And that means, there's more information that can be used against us,” said Shaw.
Goza's dark cloud may, however, have a silver lining. Target told her she'd be considered again for the job if she could get a letter from the Social Security Department proving that she's the right owner of the Social Security number.
Now that Goza knows she's suffered from other people's wrongdoings, she will order copies of her credit reports to see what she can do to put things right.
47. What do we know about Goza?
A. She got the job from Target. B. She has had three bad friends.
C. She doesn't have a bank card yet. D. She was not honest with Target.
48. What did Target first do when refusing to offer Goza the job?
A. They asked her for credit reports.
B. They told her why she couldn't get the job.
C. They found out her wrongdoings.
D. They reported it to the Social Security Department.
49. What does“a silver lining” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. A hopeful future. B. A bank report.
C. An official letter. D. A Social Security number.
50. What does Goza have to do next?
A. Clear up her wrong credit reports. B. Get a new Social Security number.
C. Find a job in another company. D. Apply for a new bank card.
2019年阅读理解真题(D)答案
47.【答案】C
【应试指导】推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知,梅丽莎 · 戈札已经十九岁了,她不明白为什么她每次申请 银行卡都以失败告终。由此可知,戈扎还没有银行卡。故本题选C。

【应试指导】事实细节题。根据第二段最后一句可知,塔吉特公司拒绝给戈扎提供工作后,按照法律的规定, 告诉了戈扎原因。故本题选B。
49.【答案】A
【应试指导】词义猜测题。根据第四段可知,塔吉特公司告诉戈扎如果社会保障部门愿意给她开一封信,证明 她是社会保障号码的合法所有者的话,就会重新考虑她的求职申请。由此可知,此处表示情况的反转,因此 a silver lining和前面的 dark cloud意思相反,dark cloud表示“乌云”,而a silver lining应该表示“乌云周围的白 光”,引申义是“一线希望”,说明情况出现了转机,戈扎的工作有了希望。a hopeful future意为“充满希望的未 来”,与a silver lining意思相近,故本题选A。
50.【答案】A
【应试指导】推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,戈扎知道她现在是在为他人的错误行为买单,于是她决定申请 自己的信用报告的副本,看看自己能做些什么,以便将问题解决。由此可知,戈扎接下来决定解决自己的信用 报告有误这个问题。故本题选A。
