模块一
阅读理解细节题
· 考点一:直接信息题
题干定位直接破解直接信息题。细节的直接辨认不要求读者对客观的事实作解释或判断,只要求他们从阅读材料中直接获取信息。
题干定位法
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are on the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
72. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that ________.
A. they had no model in their mind
B. they did not have sufficient time
C. they had no ready-made components
D. they could not assemble the components
【答案】 C
【解析】细节理解题。由关键词difficulty定位至第二段最后一句话“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own.”意为这个项目的困难实际上在于所需的元件都没有现成的,需要我们自己开发。on the shelf(现货供应)与ready-made(现成的)同义。因此,正确答案为C。
· 考点二:间接信息题
同义互释破解间接信息题。间接辨认不仅要求读者能从阅读材料中直接获取信息,还要将获得的信息用同义或近义的语言形式复述出来。审读题干,提取关键信息→速读定位原文信息句,将试题信息与原文信息进行语义转换(同义或近义词语)→逐一核对选项,仔细辨别,得出答案。
同义互释法
New analysis of these scans revealed that activity in the same regions Chen’s group had accurately pointed out in mice, the aDCN, appeared to be significantly disturbed in humans with Prader-Willi syndrome. In healthy individuals, the aDCN were more active in response to food images while fasting than just after a meal, but no such difference was identifiable in participants with the disorder. The result suggested that the aDCN were involved in controlling hunger.
44. According to the project conducted by the researchers, ________.
A. the healthy testees were more likely to overeat after fasting
B. food images increased the appetite of the testees with Prader-Willi syndrome
C. the aDCN in the healthy testees responded to food images more actively after fasting
D. the aDCN in the testees with Prader-Willi syndrome made no response to food images
【答案】 44. C
【解析】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“ In healthy individuals, the aDCN were more active in response to food images while fasting than just after a meal, but no such difference was identifiable in participants with the disorder. (在健康个体中,与饭后相比,禁食时aDCN对食物图像的反应更为积极,但在患有这种疾病的参与者中没有发现这种差异。)”可知,健康受试者的aDCN在禁食后对食物图像的反应更积极。故选C。
· 考点三:数字计算题
查读分析破解数字计算题。宙读题干,提取关键信息→速读定位原文中包含该信息的相关段落一进行推算,得出答案。这种试题要求考生根据事情发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系,找出事件的正确顺序。此类试题在文章中直接表现出事实细节,但要经过具体的计算才能得出正确答案。具体可以是对年代、月份、费用等计算。此类题目宜采用“查读分析法”,即先阅读题干,然后对文中相关的数字、时间、年代等作出标记,按照一定的规律分门别类地列出相关数字,然后进行简单的计算。
So far, the world has relied on wood, oil, coal, and natural gas to produce energy for heating, lighting, transportation, and manufacturing. Since the 1950s, world consumption has been increasing persistently. In the year 2000, 80 percent of commercial energy was generated from the combustion of fossil fuels, and every day, 50 million barrels of oil are reined (支配) and converted to gasoline and other fuels. In addition to the rapid exhaustion of fossil fuels, the consequences of high consumption rates are pollution and global warming.
64. How long has the world been in high speed of burning fossil fuel for energy?
A. For half a century. B. For nearly sixty years.
C. For over 70 years. D. For more than a century.
【答案】 64. C
【解析】
细节理解题。根据该段“So far, the world has relied on wood, oil, coal, and natural gas to produce energy for heating, lighting, transportation, and manufacturing. Since the 1950s, world consumption has been increasing persistently. In the year 2000, 80 percent of commercial energy was generated from the combustion of fossil fuels, ... (到目前为止,世界依靠木材、石油、煤炭和天然气来生产用于取暖、照明、运输和制造业的能源。 20世纪50年代以来,世界消费持续增长。2000年,80%的商业能源来自化石燃料的燃烧,…)”可知,fossil fuels((煤、石油、天燃气等矿物燃料)自 20世纪50年代以来被高速消耗,至今应有70多年了。故选C项。
· 考点四:排列顺序题
首尾排除破解细节排序题。审读题干和四个选项的内容→利用首属,排除掉部分选项,缩小范围→如排序内容较多,再查看剩余选项的异同处,进一步缩小范用;如排序内容较少,一般即可快速得出答案。做此类试题时可采用“首尾排除法”,即先找出第一件事情和最后一件事情,使用排除法迅速缩小范围,从而快速选出正确选项;也可使用“代入淘汰法”按顺序逐一排除,得出正确选项。
【节选片段】
A schoolgirl saved her father’s life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic(过敏的) reaction which stopped his heart.
Izzy,nine,restarted her father Colm’s heart by stamping(踩) on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.
Izzy’s mother,Debbie,immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father,so decided to use CPR.
However,she quickly discovered her arms weren’t strong enough,so she stamped on her father’s chest instead.
Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions(按压) until the ambulance arrived.
Izzy,who has been given a bravery award by her school,said:“I just kicked him really hard.My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn’t strong enough to use hands.I was quite scared.The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse.My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest.”
40.What’s the right order of the events?
①Izzy kicked Colm.
②Debbie called 999.
③Izzy learned CPR.
④Colm’s heart stopped.
A.③①②④ B.④②③①
C.③④②① D.④③①②
【答案】 C
【解析】 事件排序题。根据文章的叙述可知,女孩以前就学会了CPR,在父亲的心脏停止跳动之后,她的母亲先拨打了999,女孩想要在救护车到来前对父亲进行急救,却发现自己的手臂力气不够用,才采用踩父亲胸部的方式。故选C。
模块二
阅读理解词义猜测题
· 考点一:单词或短语意义猜测
上下文猜词义。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文,所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。可利用下列方法:
(1)根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语,下面接着出现其定义或解释,这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。
(2)根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时下文紧跟一个同位语,对上文的词进行解释,这时可利用同位关系对上文或下文的词义或短语意义进行猜测。
(3)根据构词法进行猜测。在英语中,有很多词可以加前缀或后缀构成一个新词,如果掌握了一定的构词知识,就不难猜出它的词义。
(4)根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读文章中,根据原因可以预测结果,根据结果也可以找出原因。
(5)根据转折或对比关系进行猜测。根据上下句的连接词,如but,however,otherwise等可知上下句存在转折关系,从而依据某一句的含义,来确定另一句的含义。
The population of rare Atlantic puffins in Maine, US, took a hit this year, as the number of chicks to survive a tough summer collapsed. The state's coastal bays and the Gulf of Maine are among the fastest warming large water bodies on the planet, making the puffins' fate a test-case for how climate change could disrupt marine ecosystems worldwide.
56. The phrase “took a hit” (in the 1st paragraph) probably mean “________”.
A. suffer heavy losses B. escape bad fortune
C. increase on a large-scale D. decline moderately
【答案】56. A
【解析】词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“as the number of chicks to survive a tough summer collapsed”可知,今年,在这个艰难的夏天生存下来的雏鸟数量锐减,所以美国缅因州稀有的大西洋海雀遭受重大损失。故画线词意思是“遭受重大损失”,故选A。
· 考点二:猜测代替词所替代的内容
就近原则找指代。猜测代替词的指代内容,要求判断代词(it, one, they, this, that, these, those, which等)或助动词(do, does, did 等)具体替代什么。可按以下三步进行:返回原文,找到指代词→向上(有时向下)搜索,找最近的名词、代词,短语或句子→将找到的词、词组或句子代入替代该指代词,看意思和逻辑关系是否通顺,从而确定最佳选项。
They swim lovely along the shore, looking for underwater greens to feed on. But these days, along Florida’s western coast, something is mixing with the sea grass that manatees(海牛) like to eat. And it’s making them sick - even killing them.
56. The word “them” (in the 1st paragraph) probably refers to “________”.
A. underwater greens B. algae
C. manatees D. endangered animals
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。句意:但在最近日子里,沿着佛罗里达的西海岸与海草混合着海牛喜欢吃东西。而这正是海牛致病的东西,甚至杀了他们。此处“then”指代句子前文部分出现的“manatees(海牛)”。故选C。
· 考点三: 句意猜测题
意义吻合推句意。句意猜测要求通过阅读文章,用合适的语句对其进行解释性的描述。具体技巧如下:
(1)返回原文,找到该句,对原句进行语法和逻辑关系分析。对于需要猜测句意的情形,首先要理解句子的前后特定语境,然后根据语境对此句在文中的意思进行有依据的推理,最后再进行归纳总结,得出答案。
(2)一般来说,正确选项的意思和原句的意思完全相同,只不过是用其他的词汇或句式来转换表达而已。
(2019·浙江高考·B篇)Money with no strings attached. It's not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, “Give What You Can, Take What You Need.”
24.What does the expression “Money with no strings attached” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Money spent without hesitation.
B.Money not legally made.
C.Money offered without conditions.
D.Money not tied together.
【答案】C
【解析】句意猜测题。根据本段中的“Give What You Can, Take What You Need.(尽你所能,取你所需。)”可知,此处“Money with no strings attached”的意思是“无条件地提供钱”。故选C。

阅读理解主旨大意题
· 考点一:文章大意类
寻找主题句确定文章大意。主题句的位置一般有以下几种:
(1)主题句出现在文首。文章开门见山,给出了主题句,随之用细节对其进行解释、支撑。
(2)主题句出现在文末。文章先表述细节,之后在文末归纳概括出主题。
(3)主题句首尾呼应。为突出主题,作者先提出主题,结尾时再次升华主题。
(4)主题句出现在文章的中间。文章首先提出问题,对问题进行描述,讨论之后在文章的中间部分给出主题句,而后又做进一步的解释。
Too often, we measure our worth not by the results we achieve, but by how much of our time we spend. We live crazy lives, at least in part, because it makes us feel good about ourselves.
66. What does the passage mainly concerned with?
A. The measurement of wealth in the current society.
B. The evolution of people’s attitude towards busyness.
C. The hidden reasons and effects of people’s busyness.
D. The solution to prioritizing the crucial tasks in busyness.
【答案】 66. C
【解析】主旨大意题。根据最后一段Too often, we measure our worth not by the results we achieve, but by how much of our time we spend. We live crazy lives, at least in part, because it makes us feel good about ourselves.“很多时候,我们衡量自己的价值不是看我们取得了什么成果,而是看我们花了多少时间。我们过着疯狂的生活,至少在一定程度上是因为它让我们自我感觉良好。”可知,本文讲述的是人们忙碌背后的原因和影响。故选C。
· 考点二:段落大意类
通过结构或暗示概括段落大意。(1)根据逻辑结构概括段落大意:要准确概括段落大意,务必知道该段落的逻辑结构。如该段为总分顺序组织,则主题句在段首;如该段为分总顺序组织,则主题句在段尾;如该段为分总分顺序组织,则主题句在段中;如该段对比各事物,则其异同点即为该段大意。
(2)通过暗示揣摩段落大意:有时,作者不直接写出主题句,而是通过情感态度等方法暗示性地体现主题,此时要根据文中所叙述的事实和线索综合判断去揣摩并概括出段落大意。
The first thing we notice about new people are their faces.The next time we see these people, we remember them because we remember their faces. This seems like a simple process. However, scientists found that it is not such a simple process. The section of the brain that is responsible for face recognition seems to work differently for different people. Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces, while others almost never forget a face.
56. The first paragraph is mainly about ___________________________.
A. the way to improve one’s face-recognition skills
B. the fact that some people have face-recognition problems
C. the simple process of the brain to recognize others’ faces
D. the importance of face recognition in human communication
【答案】56.B
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces, while others almost never forget a face.”(有些人很难记住和辨认面孔,而另一些人几乎永远不会忘记面孔。)可知,第一段主要想说明,事实上,有些人有面部识别问题。故选B项。
· 考点三:标题归纳类
三大方法定标题。①正面肯定法:在理解文章主旨的基础上,揣摩哪个选项能准确概括主旨;②反面否定法:撇开原文,设想各选项写出来应是什么样的文章,然后和原文比对,逐一排除不符项;③研读备选项:认真研读备选项里的中心词、结构、概括性、修饰词的变化,查看与中心思想是否相符。
But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called "Daddy’s Day". On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees.
Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28,154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success.
Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down.
59. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Disneyland: How It All Began B. Disneyland: An Overnight Success
C. Disneyland: How It Developed D. Disneyland: A Park with a Long History
【答案】 59. A
【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第二段中句子“But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called "Daddy’s Day". ”(但实际上,迪士尼的故事始于20年前沃尔特·迪士尼所谓的“爸爸节”。)和倒数第二段第一句“Disneyland opened then.”迪士尼开业了可知,整篇文章都在写迪士尼是如何开始并建成的故事。所以短文的最佳标题为“迪士尼乐园:一切是如何开始的”。故选A项。

3.【浙江省强基联盟2024-2025学年高三上学期10月联考英语试题】
In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy(奖品) at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he’s the oldest living champi on of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year’s competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him.
Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D.C. , for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together.
When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross- shaped church.
Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t br ag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’ re careless about their thinking.”
“Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.
7.What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs?
A.He is the best ever spelling champion. B.He prepared alone for the spelling bee.
C.He used his spelling ability to help others. D.He preferred to show off his spelling talent.
8.What does the word “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Won. B.Declined. C.Removed. D.Gave.
9.How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore?
A.It helped him start his career. B.It strengthened his confidence.
C.It limited his way of thinking. D.It brought him lasting popularity.
10.What should we do to prepare for today’s spelling bee according to Cashore?
A.Learn multiple languages. B.Go abroad for language study.
C.Be a remarkable technician. D.Try to improve relevant skills.
【答案】7.C 8.A 9.B 10.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了威廉·卡索参加拼字比赛的经历以及取得的成就。
7.细节理解题。根据第一段“In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy at home to prove it.(在医学院和他作为新生儿学家的整个职业生涯中,威廉·卡索经常被要求阅读和纠正别人的工作。他们不知道他是一个拼写冠军,家里的奖杯证明了这一点)”可知,卡索用他的拼写能力来帮助别人。故选C。
8.词句猜测题。根据第二段“When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook.(当范围缩小到两名竞争者时,另一个男孩拼错了“uncinate”,意思是像钩子一样弯曲)”以及划线词上文“Cashore spelled it correctly(Cashore拼写正确了)”可知,当只剩下两位参赛者时,另一个男孩拼错了uncinated,而Cashore正确拼写了这个词,随后用transept这个词获胜。故clinched意思是“获胜”。故选A。
9.细节理解题。根据第四段““It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said.(他说:“这给了我更多的自信,也让我意识到,尽可能把事情做好是非常重要的。”)”可知,拼字比赛让卡索增强了信心。故选B。
10.推理判断题。根据最后一段““Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.(卡索说:“与几十年前相比,现在准备拼写比赛需要更多的注意力和技巧。这些词汇的词汇量要专业得多。与此同时,英语也从外语中引入了大量词汇,这些词汇在我上八年级的时候还不属于英语。”)”可知,根据卡索的说法,我们应该为今天的拼写比赛努力提高相关技能。故选D。
4.【浙江省新阵地联盟考试2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题】
As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s inevitable that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments.
But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals the wounds of your own inner child? A mom, who goes by Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other.
Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next. The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too.
That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children.
“I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a bagel instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.”
Soogia’s tearful video pulled at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments.
“These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone revealed.
11.What is the purpose of quoting at the beginning of the passage?
A.To illustrate the hard work of being a parent.
B.To stress parents’ consistent concerns about their children.
C.To introduce the story about a child’s growth that follows.
D.To contrast the different feelings between parents and children.
12.Why did the classmate’s mother call Soogia?
A.To ask for the lunch recipe her son loved.
B.To invite Soogia to prepare lunch for the children together.
C.To inform Soogia of her daughter’s understanding behavior at school.
D.To express her appreciation for the lunch Soogia’s daughter brought.
13.What makes Soogia feel comforted?
A.Her child can finally fit in with American society.
B.Her child has gained friendship and recognition at school.
C.Her child needn’t feel ashamed of their cultural background.
D.Her child can share their favorite food with their classmates.
14.What can we infer about Soogia’s opinion of the new generation of children?
A.Open-minded and inclusive. B.Adventurous and open-minded.
C.Tolerant and ambitious. D.Friendly and ambitious.
【答案】11.B 12.A 13.C 14.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过一个妈妈Soogia分享的故事,讲述了她的孩子在学校分享午餐的经历,以及这一小事如何治愈了她内心的创伤,并引发了对新一代孩子开放和包容特质的思考。
11.推理判断题。根据第一段中“As Elizabeth Stone once said, ‘Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.’ You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s inevitable that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments.(正如伊丽莎白·斯通曾经说过,“有了孩子就像你的心在体外行走。”你把他们送去学校,希望世界善待他们,因为当他们受伤时,你也会受伤。当然,你的孩子迟早会经历一些伤心的时刻。所以,为这些时刻做好准备是明智的)”可推知,文章开头引用Elizabeth Stone的话是为了强调父母对孩子持续的关心,即孩子受伤时父母也会感到伤心。故选B项。
12.细节理解题。根据第三段中“The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too.(同学的妈妈告诉她,她的儿子很喜欢Soogia的女儿带到学校的食物,也想学做这道菜)”可知,同学的妈妈打电话给Soogia是为了询问她儿子喜欢的午餐食谱。故选A项。
13.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children.(作为一个在加州长大的韩国孩子,Soogia的经历与她的孩子们不同)”及第五段中““I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears.(“我想我从来没有想过我的孩子们会成为这一代的孩子,他们上学时不仅骄傲地吃饭,而且还和其他孩子分享他们的食物,他们是如此开放和接受,”Soogia流着泪说)”和“They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a bagel instead or something like that.(他们不会独自坐在那里吃东西,感到羞愧,希望他们的炒饭是百吉饼或类似的东西)”可知,妈妈Soogia因为自己的韩国文化背景,曾经没有自信,而且时常为自己的饭菜感到羞愧,而女儿与之截然不同的行为,这让她倍感治愈。故选C项。
14.推理判断题。根据第五段中“I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it(我想我从来没有想过我的孩子们会成为这样的一代孩子,他们在上学的时候不仅自豪地吃东西,而且还和其他孩子分享他们的食物,他们是如此开放和欣然接受)”、最后一段中“‘These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,’ someone revealed.( “这些阿尔法世代的孩子们真的是一个不同的、更善良的一代。我非常爱他们,”有人说)”和前文提到的Soogia的女儿与同学分享午餐,以及同学想要学习做这道菜的事情,可推知Soogia认为新一代的孩子是开放和包容的。故选A项。

My wife always wanted a Vizsla, so when we got the house, the garden and everything sorted, we did some research and found a lovely breeder (饲养员) based in Scotland. He was in charge of everything, so a few months go by and the next thing I know, we’ve got a puppy!
I’ve grown up with animals all my life, and I’m so glad I have. I love the fact that I was never afraid of any animals. Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal.
And obviously for us, as a family, it’s brilliant because we take Pedro for so many walks. It’s a bit of a family bonding experience getting out in the fresh air; taking Pedro for a walk multiple times a day is just really lovely. Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective, so loving, and we are his world.
I think the most challenging aspects with Pedro were when he was a puppy (小狗). He was pretty hard work. He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary.
As a new puppy owner, you’re overloaded with advice from social media, magazines, other dog owners and friends, so finding a source of information you trust is so important and can be a real turning point. I know what it’s like to be bombarded with conflicting information, so I would have really welcomed Royal Canin’s “One in a Billion” platform as a new puppy owner. It’s a one-stop shop for new dog owners: a single source of credible information that is so helpful in navigating the early stages of your puppy’s life.
15.What do we know about the author?
A.He is inexperienced in raising pets.
B.He is unsupportive of his wife’s desire.
C.He feels it a pity that children shy away from pets.
D.He thinks one should be cautious about raising pets.
16.How does the author think of Pedro?
A.Dangerous but loyal. B.Playful and gentle.
C.Adorable but troublesome. D.Annoying and fierce.
17.What can we infer according to paragraph 4?
A.Dogs are man’s best friends.
B.It is worthless to have a dog.
C.Puppies are unfriendly to humans.
D.It is challenging to train a puppy.
18.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To recommend a reliable platform.
B.To share a fun experience.
C.To offer evidence for an argument.
D.To advertise a practical product.
【答案】15.C 16.C 17.D 18.A

15.细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal. (虽然当你把孩子介绍给他们不认识的狗时,显然必须小心,因为你不知道它会怎么表现,但当我看到孩子们走过佩德罗时害怕的时候,我总是很难过。我认为让孩子们学习如何照顾动物是很好的。)”可知,作者对于孩子们因不了解而害怕宠物感到遗憾。故选C。
16.推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective, so loving, and we are his world. (与此同时,我认为最有意义的是,看到他和孩子们相处得有多好。他很冷静,很有保护欲,很有爱心,我们就是他的世界。)”和第四段中“He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary.

2024年1月浙江卷B篇
When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
4.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.The play. B.The shared house.
C.The sofa. D.The telephone box.
5.Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006?
A.To place an urgent call. B.To put up a notice.
C.To shelter from the rain. D.To hold an audition.
6.What do we know about the “mini community library”?
A.It provides phone service for free. B.Anyone can contribute to its collection.
C.It is popular among young readers. D.Books must be returned within a month.
7.Why did the author start to use the “library”?
A.He wanted to borrow some love stories.
B.He was encouraged by a close neighbour.
C.He found there were excellent free books.
D.He thought it was an ideal place for reading.
【答案】4.B 5.A 6.B 7.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。随着手机的普及,电话亭渐渐地被人们遗忘,作者家附近的最后一个电话亭被改造成了“迷你图书馆”,作者偶然发现那里有很多不错的免费书籍,这让作者觉得很棒。

6.细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.(最后一个被改造成了一个“迷你社区图书馆”:任何路过的人都可以从它的书架上“借”书,以后还回来,或者用自己收藏的另一本书来替换。)”可知,任何人都可以为“迷你社区图书馆”的捐赠图书。故选B。
7.细节理解题。根据第四段最后四句“Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!(然后我注意到福克正在进行春季大扫除,把各种主题的大书一箱箱地扔到那里。而且这些书是免费的。这个无与伦比的价格点鼓励我尝试许多我通常不会考虑购买的标题。我还发现了一些很棒的书!)”可知,作者发现“迷你图书馆”里有很多免费的很棒的书,所以开始使用。故选C。

2023年1月浙江卷B篇
Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.
I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.
Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.
As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice: Lead by action.
24.What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph?
A.Share an apartment with you. B.Join you in what you’re doing.
C.Transform your way of living. D.Help you to make the decision.
25.What was the attitude of the author’s father toward buying groceries with jars?
A.He disapproved of it. B.He was favorable to it.
C.He was tolerant of it. D.He didn’t care about it.
26.What can we infer about the author?
A.She is quite good at cooking. B.She respects others’ privacy.
C.She enjoys being a housewife. D.She is a determined person.
27.What is the text mainly about?
A.How to get on well with other family members.
B.How to have one’s own personal space at home.
C.How to live a zero waste lifestyle in a household.
D.How to control the budget when buying groceries.
【答案】24.B 25.A 26.D 27.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者如何在家庭中过零浪费的生活方式。
24.词句猜测题。根据划线部分前文“Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to(如果你想过一种更可持续的生活方式,可能不是你周围的每个人都准备好)”及第二段中的“I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.(在这个过程中,我学到了一些东西,我希望如果你在一个不总是支持你的家庭中尽最大努力去弄清楚如何做出改变,你会感到鼓舞)”可知,如果你想过一种更可持续的生活方式,可能不是你周围的每个人都准备好加入这一运动。由此推知,划线词组jump on that bandwagon与Join you in what you’re doing.(加入你正在做的事情)意思接近。故选B。
25.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.(几天后,我带着第一罐零废物杂货回来了,我父亲评论说,我到处带着罐子是多么愚蠢。结果有点令人沮丧)”可推知,作者的父亲不赞成用罐子买食品杂货。故选A。
26.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. (然而,随着减少浪费的几个月的持续,我尽了自己力所能及的努力)”及“Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.(也许你的家庭不会完全改变,但你可以控制自己的个人空间,做出你想要的改变)”可推知,作者是一个意志坚定的人。故选D。
27.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.(如果你想过一种更可持续的生活方式,可能不是你周围的每个人都准备好加入这一运动)”及第二段中的“I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.(在这个过程中,我学到了一些东西,我希望如果你在一个不总是支持你的家庭中尽最大努力去弄清楚如何做出改变,你会感到鼓舞)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者如何在家庭中过零浪费的生活方式。故选C。
2022年1月浙江卷A篇
For nearly a decade now, Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist. Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis(危机)in the late 2000s. The downturn hit the real estate (房地产)firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job. One day, while driving near her home, she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly lost. She took it home, and her sister in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving home for sure, but 1, 600 miles away. It didn’t take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself. It was her first road trip to her new job.
Merebeth’s pet delivery service also satisfies her wanderlust. It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly. If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there. She travels in all weathers. She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming, heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas.
This wanderlust is inherited from her father, she says. She moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old, because he wanted them to explore a new place together. As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast, away from her parents, where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.
It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30, 000 per year before tax. She doesn’t work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning. As autumn comes, she gets restless—the same old wanderlust returning. It’s a call she must heed alone, though. Merebeth says, “When I am on the road, I’m just in my own world. I’ve always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I must help animals.”
1.Why did Merebeth changed her job?
A.She wanted to work near her home.
B.She was tired of working in the office.
C.Her sister asked her to move to Denver.
D.Her former employer was out of business.
2.The word “wanderlust” in paragraph 2 means a desire to _________?
A.make money. B.try various jobs.
C.be close to nature. D.travel to different places.
3.What can we learn about Merebeth in her new job?
A.She has chances to see rare animals.
B.She works hard throughout the year.
C.She relies on herself the whole time.
D.She earns a basic and tax-free salary.
【答案】1.D 2.D 3.C
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Merebeth从事的新工作。近十年来,她一直是一名自营宠物运输专家。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段中“The downturn hit the real estate (房地产)firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job.(她曾在一家房地产公司做了10年的办公室经理,经济低迷打击了这家公司。 公司破产了,她只好另寻新工作)”,可知,Merebeth之所以换工作,是因为她以前的雇主破产了。故选D。
2.词义猜测题。根据第二段中“It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly. If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there. She travels in all weathers.(她自豪地说,除了蒙大拿州、华盛顿州和俄勒冈州,她走遍了美国所有的州。如果她想去一个新的地方,她只需要找到一个有交通需要的宠物。 她风雨无阻地旅行)”,可知,划线词的意思是“渴望去不同的地方旅行”。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When I am on the road, I'm just in my own world. I've always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I mush help animals.(当我在路上的时候,我只是在自己的世界里。 我一直很独立,我强烈地觉得我必须帮助动物)”,可知,Merebeth在她的新工作中一直都是靠自己。故选C。

模块一
阅读理解细节题
· 考点一:直接信息题
题干定位直接破解直接信息题。细节的直接辨认不要求读者对客观的事实作解释或判断,只要求他们从阅读材料中直接获取信息。
题干定位法
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are on the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
72. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that ________.
A. they had no model in their mind
B. they did not have sufficient time
C. they had no ready-made components
D. they could not assemble the components
【答案】 C
【解析】细节理解题。由关键词difficulty定位至第二段最后一句话“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own.”意为这个项目的困难实际上在于所需的元件都没有现成的,需要我们自己开发。on the shelf(现货供应)与ready-made(现成的)同义。因此,正确答案为C。
· 考点二:间接信息题
同义互释破解间接信息题。间接辨认不仅要求读者能从阅读材料中直接获取信息,还要将获得的信息用同义或近义的语言形式复述出来。审读题干,提取关键信息→速读定位原文信息句,将试题信息与原文信息进行语义转换(同义或近义词语)→逐一核对选项,仔细辨别,得出答案。
同义互释法
New analysis of these scans revealed that activity in the same regions Chen’s group had accurately pointed out in mice, the aDCN, appeared to be significantly disturbed in humans with Prader-Willi syndrome. In healthy individuals, the aDCN were more active in response to food images while fasting than just after a meal, but no such difference was identifiable in participants with the disorder. The result suggested that the aDCN were involved in controlling hunger.
44. According to the project conducted by the researchers, ________.
A. the healthy testees were more likely to overeat after fasting
B. food images increased the appetite of the testees with Prader-Willi syndrome
C. the aDCN in the healthy testees responded to food images more actively after fasting
D. the aDCN in the testees with Prader-Willi syndrome made no response to food images
【答案】 44. C
【解析】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“ In healthy individuals, the aDCN were more active in response to food images while fasting than just after a meal, but no such difference was identifiable in participants with the disorder. (在健康个体中,与饭后相比,禁食时aDCN对食物图像的反应更为积极,但在患有这种疾病的参与者中没有发现这种差异。)”可知,健康受试者的aDCN在禁食后对食物图像的反应更积极。故选C。
· 考点三:数字计算题
查读分析破解数字计算题。宙读题干,提取关键信息→速读定位原文中包含该信息的相关段落一进行推算,得出答案。这种试题要求考生根据事情发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系,找出事件的正确顺序。此类试题在文章中直接表现出事实细节,但要经过具体的计算才能得出正确答案。具体可以是对年代、月份、费用等计算。此类题目宜采用“查读分析法”,即先阅读题干,然后对文中相关的数字、时间、年代等作出标记,按照一定的规律分门别类地列出相关数字,然后进行简单的计算。
So far, the world has relied on wood, oil, coal, and natural gas to produce energy for heating, lighting, transportation, and manufacturing. Since the 1950s, world consumption has been increasing persistently. In the year 2000, 80 percent of commercial energy was generated from the combustion of fossil fuels, and every day, 50 million barrels of oil are reined (支配) and converted to gasoline and other fuels. In addition to the rapid exhaustion of fossil fuels, the consequences of high consumption rates are pollution and global warming.
64. How long has the world been in high speed of burning fossil fuel for energy?
A. For half a century. B. For nearly sixty years.
C. For over 70 years. D. For more than a century.
【答案】 64. C
【解析】
细节理解题。根据该段“So far, the world has relied on wood, oil, coal, and natural gas to produce energy for heating, lighting, transportation, and manufacturing. Since the 1950s, world consumption has been increasing persistently. In the year 2000, 80 percent of commercial energy was generated from the combustion of fossil fuels, ... (到目前为止,世界依靠木材、石油、煤炭和天然气来生产用于取暖、照明、运输和制造业的能源。 20世纪50年代以来,世界消费持续增长。2000年,80%的商业能源来自化石燃料的燃烧,…)”可知,fossil fuels((煤、石油、天燃气等矿物燃料)自 20世纪50年代以来被高速消耗,至今应有70多年了。故选C项。
· 考点四:排列顺序题
首尾排除破解细节排序题。审读题干和四个选项的内容→利用首属,排除掉部分选项,缩小范围→如排序内容较多,再查看剩余选项的异同处,进一步缩小范用;如排序内容较少,一般即可快速得出答案。做此类试题时可采用“首尾排除法”,即先找出第一件事情和最后一件事情,使用排除法迅速缩小范围,从而快速选出正确选项;也可使用“代入淘汰法”按顺序逐一排除,得出正确选项。
【节选片段】

模块二
阅读理解词义猜测题
· 考点一:单词或短语意义猜测
上下文猜词义。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文,所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。可利用下列方法:
(1)根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语,下面接着出现其定义或解释,这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。
(2)根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时下文紧跟一个同位语,对上文的词进行解释,这时可利用同位关系对上文或下文的词义或短语意义进行猜测。
(3)根据构词法进行猜测。在英语中,有很多词可以加前缀或后缀构成一个新词,如果掌握了一定的构词知识,就不难猜出它的词义。
(4)根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读文章中,根据原因可以预测结果,根据结果也可以找出原因。
(5)根据转折或对比关系进行猜测。根据上下句的连接词,如but,however,otherwise等可知上下句存在转折关系,从而依据某一句的含义,来确定另一句的含义。
The population of rare Atlantic puffins in Maine, US, took a hit this year, as the number of chicks to survive a tough summer collapsed. The state's coastal bays and the Gulf of Maine are among the fastest warming large water bodies on the planet, making the puffins' fate a test-case for how climate change could disrupt marine ecosystems worldwide.
56. The phrase “took a hit” (in the 1st paragraph) probably mean “________”.
A. suffer heavy losses B. escape bad fortune
C. increase on a large-scale D. decline moderately
【答案】56. A
【解析】词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“as the number of chicks to survive a tough summer collapsed”可知,今年,在这个艰难的夏天生存下来的雏鸟数量锐减,所以美国缅因州稀有的大西洋海雀遭受重大损失。故画线词意思是“遭受重大损失”,故选A。
· 考点二:猜测代替词所替代的内容
就近原则找指代。猜测代替词的指代内容,要求判断代词(it, one, they, this, that, these, those, which等)或助动词(do, does, did 等)具体替代什么。可按以下三步进行:返回原文,找到指代词→向上(有时向下)搜索,找最近的名词、代词,短语或句子→将找到的词、词组或句子代入替代该指代词,看意思和逻辑关系是否通顺,从而确定最佳选项。
They swim lovely along the shore, looking for underwater greens to feed on. But these days, along Florida’s western coast, something is mixing with the sea grass that manatees(海牛) like to eat. And it’s making them sick - even killing them.
56. The word “them” (in the 1st paragraph) probably refers to “________”.
A. underwater greens B. algae
C. manatees D. endangered animals
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。句意:但在最近日子里,沿着佛罗里达的西海岸与海草混合着海牛喜欢吃东西。而这正是海牛致病的东西,甚至杀了他们。此处“then”指代句子前文部分出现的“manatees(海牛)”。故选C。
· 考点三: 句意猜测题
意义吻合推句意。句意猜测要求通过阅读文章,用合适的语句对其进行解释性的描述。具体技巧如下:
(1)返回原文,找到该句,对原句进行语法和逻辑关系分析。对于需要猜测句意的情形,首先要理解句子的前后特定语境,然后根据语境对此句在文中的意思进行有依据的推理,最后再进行归纳总结,得出答案。
(2)一般来说,正确选项的意思和原句的意思完全相同,只不过是用其他的词汇或句式来转换表达而已。
(2019·浙江高考·B篇)Money with no strings attached. It's not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, “Give What You Can, Take What You Need.”
24.What does the expression “Money with no strings attached” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Money spent without hesitation.
B.Money not legally made.
C.Money offered without conditions.
D.Money not tied together.
【答案】C
【解析】句意猜测题。根据本段中的“Give What You Can, Take What You Need.(尽你所能,取你所需。)”可知,此处“Money with no strings attached”的意思是“无条件地提供钱”。故选C。

解题指导:
(1)抓住特定信息进行逆向或正向推理:在原文中确定推理依据的位置或范围后,要善于抓住关键信息去分析判断;(2)整合全文/段信息进行推断:有时需要在弄懂全文或全段的基础上,整合与题目相关的有效信息去进行综合推断,才能确定最佳选项。无论哪种推断形式必须以文章所提供的事实内容为依据,切忌凭空想象。

(2)主题句出现在文末。文章先表述细节,之后在文末归纳概括出主题。
(3)主题句首尾呼应。为突出主题,作者先提出主题,结尾时再次升华主题。
(4)主题句出现在文章的中间。文章首先提出问题,对问题进行描述,讨论之后在文章的中间部分给出主题句,而后又做进一步的解释。
Too often, we measure our worth not by the results we achieve, but by how much of our time we spend. We live crazy lives, at least in part, because it makes us feel good about ourselves.
66. What does the passage mainly concerned with?
A. The measurement of wealth in the current society.
B. The evolution of people’s attitude towards busyness.
C. The hidden reasons and effects of people’s busyness.
D. The solution to prioritizing the crucial tasks in busyness.
【答案】 66. C
【解析】主旨大意题。根据最后一段Too often, we measure our worth not by the results we achieve, but by how much of our time we spend. We live crazy lives, at least in part, because it makes us feel good about ourselves.“很多时候,我们衡量自己的价值不是看我们取得了什么成果,而是看我们花了多少时间。我们过着疯狂的生活,至少在一定程度上是因为它让我们自我感觉良好。”可知,本文讲述的是人们忙碌背后的原因和影响。故选C。
· 考点二:段落大意类
通过结构或暗示概括段落大意。(1)根据逻辑结构概括段落大意:要准确概括段落大意,务必知道该段落的逻辑结构。如该段为总分顺序组织,则主题句在段首;如该段为分总顺序组织,则主题句在段尾;如该段为分总分顺序组织,则主题句在段中;如该段对比各事物,则其异同点即为该段大意。
(2)通过暗示揣摩段落大意:有时,作者不直接写出主题句,而是通过情感态度等方法暗示性地体现主题,此时要根据文中所叙述的事实和线索综合判断去揣摩并概括出段落大意。
The first thing we notice about new people are their faces.The next time we see these people, we remember them because we remember their faces. This seems like a simple process. However, scientists found that it is not such a simple process. The section of the brain that is responsible for face recognition seems to work differently for different people. Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces, while others almost never forget a face.
56. The first paragraph is mainly about ___________________________.
A. the way to improve one’s face-recognition skills
B. the fact that some people have face-recognition problems
C. the simple process of the brain to recognize others’ faces
D. the importance of face recognition in human communication
【答案】56.B
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces, while others almost never forget a face.”(有些人很难记住和辨认面孔,而另一些人几乎永远不会忘记面孔。)可知,第一段主要想说明,事实上,有些人有面部识别问题。故选B项。
· 考点三:标题归纳类
三大方法定标题。①正面肯定法:在理解文章主旨的基础上,揣摩哪个选项能准确概括主旨;②反面否定法:撇开原文,设想各选项写出来应是什么样的文章,然后和原文比对,逐一排除不符项;③研读备选项:认真研读备选项里的中心词、结构、概括性、修饰词的变化,查看与中心思想是否相符。
But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called "Daddy’s Day". On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees.
Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28,154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success.
Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down.
59. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Disneyland: How It All Began B. Disneyland: An Overnight Success
C. Disneyland: How It Developed D. Disneyland: A Park with a Long History
【答案】 59. A
【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第二段中句子“But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called "Daddy’s Day". ”(但实际上,迪士尼的故事始于20年前沃尔特·迪士尼所谓的“爸爸节”。)和倒数第二段第一句“Disneyland opened then.”迪士尼开业了可知,整篇文章都在写迪士尼是如何开始并建成的故事。所以短文的最佳标题为“迪士尼乐园:一切是如何开始的”。故选A项。

In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy(奖品) at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he’s the oldest living champi on of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year’s competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him.
Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D.C. , for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together.
When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross- shaped church.
Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t br ag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’ re careless about their thinking.”
“Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.
7.What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs?
A.He is the best ever spelling champion. B.He prepared alone for the spelling bee.
C.He used his spelling ability to help others. D.He preferred to show off his spelling talent.
8.What does the word “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Won. B.Declined. C.Removed. D.Gave.
9.How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore?
A.It helped him start his career. B.It strengthened his confidence.
C.It limited his way of thinking. D.It brought him lasting popularity.
10.What should we do to prepare for today’s spelling bee according to Cashore?
A.Learn multiple languages. B.Go abroad for language study.
C.Be a remarkable technician. D.Try to improve relevant skills.

As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s inevitable that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments.
But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals the wounds of your own inner child? A mom, who goes by Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other.
Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next. The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too.
That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children.
“I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a bagel instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.”
Soogia’s tearful video pulled at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments.
“These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone revealed.
11.What is the purpose of quoting at the beginning of the passage?
A.To illustrate the hard work of being a parent.
B.To stress parents’ consistent concerns about their children.
C.To introduce the story about a child’s growth that follows.
D.To contrast the different feelings between parents and children.
12.Why did the classmate’s mother call Soogia?
A.To ask for the lunch recipe her son loved.
B.To invite Soogia to prepare lunch for the children together.
C.To inform Soogia of her daughter’s understanding behavior at school.
D.To express her appreciation for the lunch Soogia’s daughter brought.
13.What makes Soogia feel comforted?
A.Her child can finally fit in with American society.
B.Her child has gained friendship and recognition at school.
C.Her child needn’t feel ashamed of their cultural background.
D.Her child can share their favorite food with their classmates.
14.What can we infer about Soogia’s opinion of the new generation of children?
A.Open-minded and inclusive. B.Adventurous and open-minded.
C.Tolerant and ambitious. D.Friendly and ambitious.

My wife always wanted a Vizsla, so when we got the house, the garden and everything sorted, we did some research and found a lovely breeder (饲养员) based in Scotland. He was in charge of everything, so a few months go by and the next thing I know, we’ve got a puppy!
I’ve grown up with animals all my life, and I’m so glad I have. I love the fact that I was never afraid of any animals. Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal.
And obviously for us, as a family, it’s brilliant because we take Pedro for so many walks. It’s a bit of a family bonding experience getting out in the fresh air; taking Pedro for a walk multiple times a day is just really lovely. Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective, so loving, and we are his world.
I think the most challenging aspects with Pedro were when he was a puppy (小狗). He was pretty hard work. He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary.
As a new puppy owner, you’re overloaded with advice from social media, magazines, other dog owners and friends, so finding a source of information you trust is so important and can be a real turning point. I know what it’s like to be bombarded with conflicting information, so I would have really welcomed Royal Canin’s “One in a Billion” platform as a new puppy owner. It’s a one-stop shop for new dog owners: a single source of credible information that is so helpful in navigating the early stages of your puppy’s life.
15.What do we know about the author?
A.He is inexperienced in raising pets.
B.He is unsupportive of his wife’s desire.
C.He feels it a pity that children shy away from pets.
D.He thinks one should be cautious about raising pets.
16.How does the author think of Pedro?
A.Dangerous but loyal. B.Playful and gentle.
C.Adorable but troublesome. D.Annoying and fierce.
17.What can we infer according to paragraph 4?
A.Dogs are man’s best friends.
B.It is worthless to have a dog.
C.Puppies are unfriendly to humans.
D.It is challenging to train a puppy.
18.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To recommend a reliable platform.
B.To share a fun experience.
C.To offer evidence for an argument.
D.To advertise a practical product.

When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
4.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.The play. B.The shared house.
C.The sofa. D.The telephone box.
5.Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006?
A.To place an urgent call. B.To put up a notice.
C.To shelter from the rain. D.To hold an audition.
6.What do we know about the “mini community library”?
A.It provides phone service for free. B.Anyone can contribute to its collection.
C.It is popular among young readers. D.Books must be returned within a month.
7.Why did the author start to use the “library”?
A.He wanted to borrow some love stories.
B.He was encouraged by a close neighbour.
C.He found there were excellent free books.
D.He thought it was an ideal place for reading.

2023年1月浙江卷B篇
Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.
I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.
Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.
As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice: Lead by action.
24.What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph?
A.Share an apartment with you. B.Join you in what you’re doing.
C.Transform your way of living. D.Help you to make the decision.
25.What was the attitude of the author’s father toward buying groceries with jars?
A.He disapproved of it. B.He was favorable to it.
C.He was tolerant of it. D.He didn’t care about it.
26.What can we infer about the author?
A.She is quite good at cooking. B.She respects others’ privacy.
C.She enjoys being a housewife. D.She is a determined person.
27.What is the text mainly about?
A.How to get on well with other family members.
B.How to have one’s own personal space at home.
C.How to live a zero waste lifestyle in a household.
D.How to control the budget when buying groceries.
2022年1月浙江卷A篇
For nearly a decade now, Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist. Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis(危机)in the late 2000s. The downturn hit the real estate (房地产)firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job. One day, while driving near her home, she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly lost. She took it home, and her sister in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving home for sure, but 1, 600 miles away. It didn’t take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself. It was her first road trip to her new job.
Merebeth’s pet delivery service also satisfies her wanderlust. It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly. If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there. She travels in all weathers. She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming, heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas.
This wanderlust is inherited from her father, she says. She moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old, because he wanted them to explore a new place together. As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast, away from her parents, where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.
It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30, 000 per year before tax. She doesn’t work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning. As autumn comes, she gets restless—the same old wanderlust returning. It’s a call she must heed alone, though. Merebeth says, “When I am on the road, I’m just in my own world. I’ve always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I must help animals.”
1.Why did Merebeth changed her job?
A.She wanted to work near her home.
B.She was tired of working in the office.
C.Her sister asked her to move to Denver.
D.Her former employer was out of business.
2.The word “wanderlust” in paragraph 2 means a desire to _________?
A.make money. B.try various jobs.
C.be close to nature. D.travel to different places.
3.What can we learn about Merebeth in her new job?
A.She has chances to see rare animals.
B.She works hard throughout the year.
C.She relies on herself the whole time.
D.She earns a basic and tax-free salary.
