专题05 阅读理解（七选五 ）（期末真题汇编，湖南专用）高二英语上学期

专题05 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 人与社会——旅游 （24-25学年高二上·湖南长沙市雅礼中学·期末） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nearsightedness is a common vision condition in which close objects look clear but far objects look blurry. 36 Myopia happens when the shape of the eye — or the shape of certain parts of the eye — causes light rays to bend or refract. Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that about half of the world’s population will have myopia, or nearsightedness, by 2050. It’s clear that our vision is becoming increasingly blurry, but researchers are only now beginning to understand why. While our first response is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. 37 . A 2017 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology found a link between increased UVB(中波紫外线) exposure and a decrease in myopia, particularly in children and young adults. 38 . Most screens are high contrast-like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background. It’s still a theory, but some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a dark room might be overstimulating our retinas(视网膜), causing more eye growth in children. Most people’s vision will stabilize in their teens, but some people develop myopia later in life, typically between ages 20 and 40. 39 . People with myopia are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age, such as glaucoma, early cataracts and macular degeneration. That’s why regular eye examinations are important. 40 , such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light, choosing non-glare screens for your computer or TV and taking frequent breaks. A．Blurry vision isn’t the only problem. B．There is a sharp increase in nearsightedness. C．The medical term for nearsightedness is myopia. D．Natural light is essential for healthy eye development. E．That said, our increased use of screens is still a problem. F．Researchers are working on ways to slow down rising myopia rates. G．You can also prevent eye issues by making a few simple lifestyle changes. 【答案】36-40．C D E A G 【导语】这是一篇说明文，近视现象在我们生活中非常普遍，可是，导致近视的真正原因是什么呢？ 【解析】36．第一段主要介绍什么是“近视”，又根据该空后一句“Myopia happens when the shape of the eye — or the shape of certain parts of the eye — causes light rays to bend or refract.(当眼睛的形状或眼睛某些部位的形状导致光线弯曲或折射时，就会发生近视)”可知，C项“近视的医学术语是myopia”符合语境，故选C。 37．该空后面一句“A 2017 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology found a link between increased UVB (中波紫外线) exposure and a decrease in myopia, particularly in children and young adults.(2017年发表在《美国医学会眼科学》上的一项研究发现，中波紫外线暴露增加与近视减少之间存在联系，尤其是在儿童和年轻人中)”指出，接触中波紫外线会降低近视发生的概率，这正好说明D项“自然光对眼睛的健康发育至关重要”，故选D。 38．根据后文“some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a dark room might be overstimulating our retinas (视网膜), causing more eye growth in children.(一些科学家认为，在黑暗的房间里看书或看明亮的屏幕的对比可能会过度刺激我们的视网膜，导致儿童的眼睛生长更快)”可知，本段主要说明文电子屏幕对我们视力的负面影响，因此E项“话虽如此，我们电子屏幕使用率的增加仍然是一个问题”符合语境，可以作为本段主旨，故选E。 39．根据该空后“People with myopia are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age, such as glaucoma, early cataracts and macular degeneration.(随着年龄的增长，近视患者患青光眼、早期白内障和黄斑变性等眼部疾病的风险更高)”可知，近视带来的问题不仅仅是视力模糊这么简单，A项“视力模糊并不是唯一的问题”符合语境，故选A。 40．该空后“such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light, choosing nonglare screens for your computer or TV and taking frequent breaks(比如确保你在良好的光线下阅读或工作，为你的电脑或电视选择小屏幕，经常休息)”列举了一些保护视力的具体方法，这显然是对G项“你也可以通过一些简单的生活方式改变来预防眼睛问题”的进一步补充说明，故选G。 Passage 2 人与社会——文学艺术 （24-25学年高二上·湖南省百师联盟·期末） There tend to be two types of teachers when it comes to poetry: Ones who love it and bring it into the classroom freely and often. Then, others stay clear. ___36___ If the love is not there yet, I challenge you to try it! Here are several reasons to teach poetry in the classroom. Build Reading, Speaking & Listening Skills Why teach poetry? Children need to learn to read various texts, and poems are one of those forms. The unique thing about poetry is that we often read aloud, repeat often, and share in groups. When children listen to poems orally, they are building their listening skills. ___37___ When sharing poems in a classroom, look at them and read them together. Children strengthen their reading skills and build reading fluency through repeated reading. Inspire Poetry Writing Teach how poems are constructed and the words they contain. It is the first step to writing. ___38___ We learn how to choose the right words to create imagery and effect. The simple patterns found in some poems are fun to follow and great places for children to start learning to write. ___39___ Poetry is a form of expression. Writing lets us express our feelings and thoughts on a subject, while reading encourages us to connect and find meaning in our experiences. Poetry can have a positive impact on children's social and emotional learning. It may offer them a new way of thinking about something. Build a Love for Reading Expose children to various styles and types of text as they learn to read. As teachers, we want them to love the act of reading and what they read as they learn. Reading can be hard work, and the books children learn first often lack that unique ingredient. Poetry is different. ___40___ Poems provide enjoyment and laughter. They are engaging and fun to read! A. Encourage Creative Thinking B. Explore Language and Vocabulary C. Poetry offers a memorable and motivational way to teach. D. It has that special sauce that children long for and so much more! E. Poetry teaches us how to combine words to form meaning and context. F. They learn to attend to the words they hear and think about what they mean together. G. This may be because they don't think it fits with the curriculum and what they are teaching. 【答案】36. G 37. F 38. E 39. A 40. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了教授诗歌的原因和意义。 【解析】 【36题详解】 根据上文“Then, others stay clear.

Writing lets us express our feelings and thoughts on a subject, while reading encourages us to connect and find meaning in our experiences. Poetry can have a positive impact on children's social and emotional learning. It may offer them a new way of thinking about something. (诗歌是一种表达形式。写作让我们表达对某个主题的感受和想法，而阅读则鼓励我们在经历中建立联系并找到意义。诗歌可以对儿童的社交和情感学习产生积极影响。它可能会为他们提供一种思考事物的新方式。)”可知本段主要讲述诗歌是一种情感思想的表达方式，它可以提供一种新的思考方式。选项 A“鼓励创造性思维”与段落中心相符，文章关键词thinking about something与选项词语creative thinking一致。故选A。 【40题详解】 根据下文“Poems provide enjoyment and laughter.

It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit tricky. ___36___ First, download an app with a comprehensive map of the public charging points showing their locations, how powerful they are, and whether they’re working. All this is vital information because, even if you have public charging points nearby, you will need alternatives in case they’re in use. ___36___ A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and driveways to other local EV drivers when they’re not using them. ___36___ Thus, your car gets charged, the owners make money, and emissions are reduced. ___36___ For example, when your car is running out of juice, you’d just pull up to a battery-change station from your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in. The Chinese EV brand Nio does this, but isn’t available in the UK as yet. For now, if charging access remains difficult for you, it’s still possible to go electric — in part. ___40__ Many hybrid (混合的) cars are now good for 50 miles of electric running before you need to use the engine. So, if most of your driving is local, you might only need to find a charger once or twice a week, while you have the backup of a fuel engine for long journeys. A. It actually worked out much cheaper. B. However, it may be easier than you think. C. There are also other innovative ways to get your EV going. D. A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller battery. E. A “fast” charger usually takes eight hours to fully charge an EV. F. So you need to get a good feel for where your nearest points are. G. You can find a map of homeowners whose charging points are available. 【答案】36. B 37. F 38. G 39. C 40.

Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that about half of the world’s population will have myopia, or nearsightedness, by 2050. It’s clear that our vision is becoming increasingly blurry, but researchers are only now beginning to understand why. While our first response is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. 37 . A 2017 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology found a link between increased UVB(中波紫外线) exposure and a decrease in myopia, particularly in children and young adults. 38 . Most screens are high contrast-like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background. It’s still a theory, but some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a dark room might be overstimulating our retinas(视网膜), causing more eye growth in children.
