根据表格分析可知,近年来四选一阅读体裁类型以应用文、记叙文和说明文为主,夹叙夹议文、议论文等为辅,其中科普知识类和生态环保类的说明文是考生的难题;题型考查中细节理解和推理判断题所占比重较大,词句猜测和主旨大意题所占比重较小。各类四选一阅读中的长难句日益增多,因此,在复习备考中,我们应该着重从题型、体裁和题材等方面进行高效复习。
第1讲 题型突破——细节理解题
细节理解题相对比较简单,但在高考四选一阅读中占了60%的比重。细节理解题常分为直接信息题、间接信息题、综合信息题、数字计算题和细节排序题等。分析近三年的高考真题可知,直接信息题、间接信息题和综合信息题为高频考点,其他皆为低频考点。
设问方式
设问方式以特殊疑问句形式为主,常以when,where,what,which,who,how much/many等疑问词引出问题。
选项特征
直接信息题——定位比对找答案
直接信息题指的是其答案可以或几乎可以直接从原文中找出来,考生可先从问题中找到关键词,然后以此为线索,运用略读及查阅的技巧在文中寻找细节。广告类、活动安排类、书籍或电影介绍类、演出信息类等语篇中的直接信息题较多。设问方式多为以5W1H(what,who,when,where,why和how)等开头的特殊疑问句。如:
1.Where does the guided city tour start?(2023·新课标Ⅰ,23题)
2.What is the short talk at Artist Point about?(2023·新课标Ⅱ,22题)
3.Where will the participants meet for the July 10 photography workshop?
(2023·新课标Ⅱ,23题)
4.Which restaurant offers a large set menu?(2023·全国甲,22题)
5.Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?(2023·全国甲,28题)
6.Who was the first African American with a medical degree?(2023·全国乙,23题)
7.On which of the following dates can you cancel your registration with a full refund?
(2023·浙江1月,21题)
解此类试题常用“定位比对”法。解题流程如下:
真题体验 (2023·新课标Ⅰ·A片段)
Guided City Tours
The 2.5-hour tour covers the Gooyer Windmill,the Skinny Bridge,the Rijksmuseum,Heineken Brewery and much more.The tour departs from Dam Square every hour on the hour,starting at 1:00 pm every day.You can buy your ticket in a MacBike shop or book online.
23.Where does the guided city tour start?
A.The Gooyer Windmill.
B.The Skinny Bridge.
C.Heineken Brewery.
D.Dam Square.
答案 D
解析 直接信息题。一、在题干中标注定位词(where,the guided city tour,start);二、在原文中找出信息句(The tour departs from Dam Square every hour on the hour);三、比对选项与信息句,可知答案为D。
间接信息题——同义转换定答案
间接信息题通常不能直接从原文中找到对应的词或短语,但考生可以根据文章的隐含意义,如原因、前提或结果等仔细推敲得出正确答案。此类题型常在记叙文、说明文或议论文中考查。常以下列形式设问:
1.Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________.
(2023·新课标Ⅰ,33 题)
2.What are the selected artworks about?(2023·新课标Ⅱ,29题)
3.Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damián Blasi’s research focus on?
(2022·新课标Ⅰ,32题)
4.How did some drinks companies respond to the sugar tax?(2022·全国乙,33题)
此类试题与直接信息题相比,其命题的隐蔽性更强,正确选项一般都会在原文基础上进行改造。解答间接信息题时,要做到“两关注”“一防范”。“两关注”是指关注正确选项的两个特征:一是同义异构,即通过把文中的语言(词汇和结构)改头换面来表达相同的意思;二是对文章信息的归纳。“一防范”是指防范干扰选项的逼真性,稍有不慎就会落入命题人设置的陷阱中。
解此类试题常用“同义转换”法。解题流程如下:
真题体验 (2023·新课标Ⅰ·D片段)
...In more technical terms,the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent.If for whatever reasons,people’s errors become correlated or dependent,the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist(转折) on this classic phenomenon.The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion,the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals.For instance,the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
33.Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________.
A.the crowds were relatively small
B.there were occasional underestimates
C.individuals did not communicate
D.estimates were not fully independent
答案 D
解析 间接信息题。一读题干,锁定关键词,即“Navajas’ study,the average accuracy,increase”;二扫原文,锁定信息区间,即“The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion,the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals.”可知,D项是对信息区间的同义描述,即估计数字在并非完全独立的情况下,准确率提高也是可以做到的。故选D。
综合信息题——概括归纳定答案
综合信息题涉及一段内的多个信息或多段内容,且各个细节信息都能在文章中找到,因此考生要不厌其烦地认真分析、概括和归纳从而得出正确答案。设问形式如下:
1.What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?(2023·新课标Ⅰ,24 题)
2.What do Nahm and Issaya Siamese Club have in common?(2023·全国甲,21题)
3.What do the works by Shepherd and Smith have in common?(2021·全国甲,22题)
4.What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have?(2021·全国甲,26题)
5.What is the disadvantage of Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes?(2021·新课标Ⅰ,23题)
6.Of the following stadiums,which is the oldest?(2021·全国乙,22题)
7.What do the listed stadiums have in common?(2021·全国乙,23题)
解此类试题常用“概括归纳”法。解题流程如下:

Nahm
Offering Thai fine dining,Nahm provides the best of Bangkok culinary(烹饪的) experiences.It’s the only Thai restaurant that ranks among the top 10 of the world’s 50 best restaurants list.Head Chef David Thompson,who received a Michelin star for his London-based Thai restaurant of the same name,opened this branch in the Metropolitan Hotel in 2010.
Issaya Siamese Club
Issaya Siamese Club is internationally known Thai chef Ian Kittichai’s first flagship Bangkok restaurant.The menu in this beautiful colonial house includes traditional Thai cuisine combined with modern cooking methods.
21.What do Nahm and Issaya Siamese Club have in common?
A.They adopt modern cooking methods.
B.They have branches in London.
C.They have top-class chefs.
D.They are based in hotels.
答案 C
解析 综合信息题。根据Nahm部分的“Head Chef David Thompson,who received a Michelin star for his London-based Thai restaurant of the same name,opened this branch in the Metropolitan Hotel in 2010.”以及Issaya Siamese Club部分的“Issaya Siamese Club is internationally known Thai chef Ian Kittichai’s first flagship Bangkok restaurant.”可知,Nahm和Issaya Siamese Club的共同之处是它们都有一流的厨师。故选C。
数字计算题——整合推算得答案
数字计算题一般会涉及时间、年龄、价钱、数量、距离等的简单计算。一般来说,计算量都比较小,容易计算。但是解答英语阅读中的数字计算题必须要找出计算背后所隐含的信息。这些“暗”信息会涉及对某个难句的理解,从这个角度上讲,理解文中相应的复杂句是解这类题的关键。数字计算题的话题有:1.广告类;2.故事类;3.科普知识类;4.史地自然类;5.文化教育类。设问方式以when,in which year,how many/much等疑问词(组)开头引出问题。如:
1.How much do you pay for renting a bike with hand brake and three gears for two days?
(2023·新课标Ⅰ,22题)
2.How many hours of class will you have altogether if you register for a single week?
(2023·浙江1月,23题)
3.How many parts is a student’s final grade made up of?(2022·新课标Ⅰ,22题)
4.How much would a couple with two children under 12 pay for admission?

(外刊阅读·原创题)(From https://www.guideposts.org)
A dozen years ago,William noticed his six-year-old neighbor,Camran,seemed angry.He’d storm out of the house,shouting at his mom.One day,William saw the boy outside and started a conversation.Camran shared that his dad wasn’t in his life.
William asked Camran’s mom for permission to take him fishing.Camran was fascinated by that first trip.The two fished together several times a week,and William saw positive changes in Camran’s behavior.That inspired him to set up Take a Kid Fishing,Inc.,a non-profit organization,in Lakeland,Florida.
During the week,William works as a tire salesman.On weekends,he and a few other volunteers take 20 to 25 kids out fishing on a charter boat.William also reaches out to local foster(寄养) homes and group homes to invite the kids to spend the day on the water.Many have never been fishing or even on a boat,so William—or Big Will,as the kids call him—starts by teaching the basics.Then come the life lessons that fishing offers:patience,teamwork and the simple joy of relaxing in the outdoors.Up to now,it has taken more than 600 fishing trips with almost 2,000 kids who don’t have a father in their lives.
William grew up in Miami in a rough area.His dad ran a lobster business in the Florida Keys,and William helped with it.He and his dad had a great relationship.Fishing was a huge part of that. “Fishing was so peaceful,” William says.“It was like an escape.”
He wants to share his love of fishing with kids who don’t have a father to take them.“I just want to show them that I care about them,and that I’m there for them,” he says.Because many kids go on multiple trips,William is able to build relationships with them.He and Camran,now 20,still regularly fish together,and Camran sees Big Will as a father figure.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了William通过带领父爱缺失的孩子钓鱼来培养孩子的健全人格的故事。
1.Which can best account for Camran’s rude behavior?
A.His mother’s ignorance.
B.His father’s absence.

2.What does Take a Kid Fishing,Inc.most probably do?
A.Sell fishing equipment to kids.
B.Train volunteers to aid kids.
C.Help fatherless kids learn fishing.
D.Organize outdoor trips for the homeless.

解析 综合信息题。根据第二段最后一句中的“a non-profit organization”和第三段中的“On weekends,he and a few other volunteers take 20 to 25 kids out fishing on a charter boat...Many have never been fishing or even on a boat,so William—or Big Will,as the kids call him—starts by teaching the basics.Then come the life lessons that fishing offers...”可知,Take a Kid Fishing,Inc.主要是帮助父爱缺失的孩子学习钓鱼,以此来培养孩子的健全人格。故选C。

From Santa Barbara to Scotland,strangers are becoming friends by going on bike rides together.They get paired up by Cycling Without Age,an organization that helps seniors go for bike rides,even if they can’t pedal themselves.
Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence,who are roughly 20 years apart in age,have been riding together for years.The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”,driving the trishaw—a bike with a passenger seat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides.They go for rides about once a week,often discussing the history of their town.
“Despite my deceased parents,it gives me a connection with people from an older generation,” said Lawrence,“and I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.”
The pair have formed a friendship outside of cycling.Lawrence said he calls Lyon often and goes to the gym with him to help him with exercises he can’t do on his own.
Ole Kassow,who founded Cycling Without Age,said that’s the power of the program.“The truly powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new relationships,” he told CBS News.“In my friendships—and the ability to form new relationships at any age—are what define a good life,and often also a long and happy life.”
John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter.He has one rule for passengers.“They say,‘What does it cost if I’m going to go for a ride?’ I say,‘Here’s what it costs:You have to wave.If you don’t wave,I’m going to kick you out,’” he joked.He said he likes when they hit red lights,because it gives them a chance to connect with people on the road.“Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age,” Boettner said.“When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek,it doesn’t get any better than that.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲述“无年龄骑行”通过组织人们一起骑自行车把陌生人变成朋友,让人们在骑行的过程中体会到了幸福感。
4.What benefit did Lawrence get from Cycling Without Age?
A.Picking up forgotten stories.
B.Improving his health condition.
C.Understanding his parents’ love.
D.Creating a relationship with seniors.

A.To share the pleasure of cycling.
B.To state the nature of happiness.
C.To show the value of the program.
D.To introduce the definition of a good life.
答案 C
解析 间接信息细节题。根据第五段的“Ole Kassow,who founded Cycling Without Age,said that’s the power of the program.”以及卡索所说的话可知,后文卡索提到“友谊”是为了体现该项目的意义。故选C。
6.What can we learn from Boettner’s words in the last paragraph?
A.The program needs to be advertised.
B.Passengers have to pay for their rides.
C.Red lights connect people on the road.
D.Bike riders feel fulfilled by offering rides.
答案 D

7.What message does the passage convey?
A.A sweet friendship refreshes the soul.
B.Be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud.
C.Don’t go through life,grow through life.
D.Happiness is a journey,not a destination.
答案 B

Children are naturally curious about the world around them.When Chase Hansen was only 4 years old,he encountered homeless people for the first time while shopping with his dad at an outdoor mall in Salt Lake City,Nevada.It’s no wonder that he had a lot of questions.
“Chase looked at me and said,‘Dad,who are these people?Why don’t they have a place to stay?’” John Hansen recalled.“After I explained that they had run into hard times and were homeless,I knew that we were looking at an educational opportunity.My son wanted to help them.”
The father and son convinced a local Jamba Juice store to donate more than 100 smoothies(果汁) and the pair gave them out to homeless people in a park.
After that,they came up with an even better idea.“I wanted a way to get to know people better,” Chase said.“So,my dad and I decided to start taking some of the homeless people we’d met out to lunch.”
“A lot of people walk right past homeless people and don’t see the person,” he said.“I know now that they’re people just like us.They want to make a connection and not feel so alone in the world.”
Hundreds of lunches later,they run a self-funded charity called Project Empathy(同情)to help inspire others to meet and to create relationships with the homeless people in their neighborhoods.The organization provides a list of resources that can help homeless people with food,housing and employment.
John said that what started as a way to spend quality time with his son has turned into a passion for both of them.“Chase and I realized that the country needed an army of people to practice empathy,and that by doing something as simple as taking a homeless person to lunch,we could maybe inspire others to do the same,” he said.“Any time you can help to give someone a voice,it’s empowering.”

(2023·江西重点中学盟校联考)
There is no way they just drove into that water,thought Corion Evans.The 16-year-old was hanging out with friends in a parking area underneath a Moss Point,highway in July when a car with three teenage girls inside fell into the Pascagoula River.It came to rest some 20 feet from land,then sank.The driver,Evans would learn,had blindly followed wrong directions from her GPS.
It was around 2:30 a.m.by the time Evans and brothers Karon and Caleh Bradley got to the river’s edge.In the darkness,they could barely make out the girls clinging(抱住) to the roof,the only part of the car still,barely,above water.But they could hear screaming.
Evans took off his shirt and shoes,put his phone down,and then dived into the water,a river he knew alligators(短吻鳄) called home.He helped the first girl he saw and,keeping her head above water,led her ashore.
Just then,a man called out.Police Officer Garry Mercer had arrived.He dived into the river to help another of the girls.But halfway back to shore she panicked and went underwater,pulling Mercer down with her.Evans jumped back into the water and helped them until they could stand.“If he hadn’t been there,who knows?” Mercer told the Washington Post.
There was still one girl in the water.Cora Watson,19,could not swim.She was swallowing water,struggling to stay afloat.And scared.
“I heard Watson screaming ‘Help!’and I thought she was done,” Caleh told WLOX in Biloxi.
“I just knew my last breath was coming,” Watson said.“My mind said,You’re slowly losing yourself.” She began to go under.Then,a surprise.“Corion had grabbed me.”
All of them were taken to the hospital and released.They’re alive because Corion Evans risked his life to save them.They’re alive,says his mother,Marquita Evans,because Corion Evans broke his curfew(宵禁).But she’s not mad,she told the Post,“He had a good reason.”

(2023·湖北4月调研)
More cities,states and regions are committing to comprehensive climate plans to decarbonize(减少碳排放) transportation by 2040.The need for action is now,and we need to rise to the challenge quickly.Google technology is unlocking our ability to generate climate-related insights and impact on the globe.
The transportation sector is where global greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions are rising the quickest.In 2018,Google launched the Environmental Insights Explorer(EIE).Using AI,the systems analyze transportation trends in a city by mode,helping local governments assess their progress in tackling GHG emissions.GHG inventory processes(温室气体排放清单) traditionally take months and multiple data sources to collect,and are now highly efficient,allowing government staff to reduce the cost and personnel burden of reporting.
In pursuit of helping more cities take action against climate change,we will make transportation insights available in EIE for over 20,000 cities and regional governments by the end of the year,making it one of the largest ever collections of high-quality,globally consistent environmental data sources.
With EIE,cities have free access to Google’s unique mapping data and insights so they can decide on cleaner transport policies.As part of Google’s most ambitious decade of climate action,we’ve committed to helping more than 500 cities and local governments reduce a total sum of 1 billion tons of carbon emissions per year by 2030 and beyond.
As the window continues to narrow on carrying out policies and plans to reduce emissions,we’re collaborating with other associations,committed to addressing climate change.Our work with Cities Climate Leadership Group(C40) will help us better support the needs of cities.Together we can provide higher-quality transportation activity data to measure and track GHG emissions at a global scale,while also giving state and local governments resources to better understand what’s working at a local level.
