Unit 4 Never too old to learn 高考真题练（同步练习）-【学而思·PPT课件分层练习】2025-2026学年高二英语选择性必修第四册（译林版）

高考真题练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024新课标Ⅰ,C) 　　Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper? And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material? The answers to both questions are often “no.” The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset(心态) and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content. When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks—like identifying the main idea in a reading passage—to ones that require mental abstraction—such as drawing inferences from a text.  The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper’s physical properties. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis(假说).” According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print. Audio(音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies—say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces. Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words. 1.What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean? A.Seem unlikely to last.　　　　　B.Seem hard to explain. C.Become ready to use.　　　　　D.Become easy to notice. 2.What does the shallowing hypothesis assume? A.Readers treat digital texts lightly.　　　　　 B.Digital texts are simpler to understand. C.People select digital texts randomly.　　　　　 D.Digital texts are suitable for social media. 3.Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers? A.They can hold students’ attention.　　　　　B.They are more convenient to prepare. C.They help develop advanced skills.　　　　　D.They are more informative than text. 4.What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A.Students should apply multiple learning techniques. B.Teachers should produce their own teaching material. C.Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education. D.Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored. 高考词汇站 派生/合成词汇 1.effect n.效应,影响,结果→ 　　　　 adj.有效的  2.concentrate v.集中(注意力)→ 　　　　 n.专心;专注  3.tend v.往往会;倾向→ 　　　　 n.倾向;趋势  4.equal adj.相同的,同样的→ 　　　　adv.同样地  5.engage v.吸引住(注意力、兴趣)→ 　　　　 adj.有趣的;迷人的  6.onscreen adv. 　　　  7.multitask v.　　　  熟词生义 8.cover v.　　　  9.say v.　　　  10.hold v.　　　  B (2023全国甲,C) 　　I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy(哲学). That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you—and then try to explain them. Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express:In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy. Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work in the context(背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life. He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding(解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation. The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is something we don’t have a lot of. 5.Who opened the door to philosophy for the author? A.Foucault.　　　　　B.Eric Weiner. C.Jostein Gaarder.　　　　　D.A college teacher. 6.Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4? A.To compare Weiner with them.　　　　　 B.To give examples of great works. C.To praise their writing skills.　　　　　 D.To help readers understand Weiner’s book. 7.What does the author like about The Socrates Express? A.Its views on history are well-presented.　　　　　 B.Its ideas can be applied to daily life. C.It includes comments from readers.　　　　　 D.It leaves an open ending. 8.What does the author think of Weiner’s book? A.Objective and plain.　　　　　 B.Daring and ambitious. C.Serious and hard to follow.　　　　　 D.Humorous and straightforward. 高考词汇站 派生/合成词汇 1.awaken v.唤醒;唤起→　　　　 v.再次唤醒  2.appeal v.有吸引力→　　　　 adj.有吸引力的;有感染力的  3.simple adj.简单的→　　　　n.简单(性);容易(性)  熟词生义 4.copy n.　　　  5.sharp adj.　　　  Ⅱ.七选五 (2024新课标Ⅰ) 　　Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(原稿). 　1　 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.  I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典). I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker. 　2　 Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.  　3　 It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.  In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it’s not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 　4　 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.  For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. “To make dictionaries is dull(乏味) work,” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of “dull”. 　5　 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.  A.I don’t often use this dictionary. B.It takes no account of the context. C.But I still don’t want to replace them. D.But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read. E.Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling. F.That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes. G.Dictionaries don’t always give you enough information. 1.　　　　　　2.　　　　　　3.　　　　　　4.　　　　　　5.　　　　　　   高考词汇站 派生/合成词汇 1.profession n.行业,职业→professional adj.专业的,职业的→　　　　 adv.专业地;内行地  2.define v.解释(词语的含义)→　　　　 n.(尤指词典里的词或短语的)释义,解释  3.different adj.不同的→　　　　 v.区分;区别  4.combine v.结合,组合→　　　　 n.结合;联合  5.influence n.影响;作用;影响力→　　　　 adj.有影响力的;有支配力的  6.spellchecker n.　　　　   熟词生义 7.cover n.　　　　   8.leaf through 　　　　   答案与分层梯度式解析 Ⅰ. A ◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同阅读媒介在理解和学习效果上的差异,并呼吁教育者在选择教学媒介时应充分考虑不同媒介的影响。 【篇章结构图】　1.more successful　2.mental　3.content 1.D　词义猜测题。根据第二段前两句可知,在阅读长文本时,纸质阅读比屏幕阅读优势更明显,大量研究证实了这一发现。再结合画线词组后面的“when experimenters move from posing simple tasks...to ones that require mental abstraction...”可知,当实验者从诸如识别文章主旨的简单任务转移到诸如从文章中得出推论的需要抽象思维的复杂任务时,阅读纸质媒介的优势尤其shine through。由此可以推知,画线词组意为“明显”。故选D。 2.A　细节理解题。根据题干关键词shallowing hypothesis可定位到第四段。根据最后一句“According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.”可知,根据这一理论,人们以适合社交媒体的心态对待数字文本,通常并不那么认真,且与阅读纸质内容相比,脑力投入更少。因此,“浅化假说”认为读者对待数字文本的态度不够严谨,not so serious与lightly是同义表达。故选A。 3.A　细节理解题。根据题干关键词audio and video和university teachers可定位到第五段。根据“Audio and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies...”可知,音频和视频比文本更具吸引力(engaging),也就更能够吸引学生的注意力,所以大学老师越来越多地借助它们来开展教学。故选A。 4.C　推理判断题。通读最后一段内容可知,该段就教学媒介的选择向教育者提出建议,而不是学生(故排除A项), 数字文本、音频、视频在教学中均起到重要作用,但是,为了在需要集中注意力和思考的学习上取得最好的效果,即使包含相同的内容,教育者也不应该认为所有媒介都是一样的。结合上文作者对纸质文本效果的认可可知,教育者在选择教学媒介时不能忽视纸质文本。故选C。B、D两项在文中均未提及,故排除。 【高考词汇站】　1.effective　2.concentration 3.tendency　4.equally　5.engaging　6.在屏幕上　7.同时做多件事情　8.包含,涉及　9.比如说　10.吸引住 B ◎语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章从作者读书经历入手,简单介绍了Eric Weiner的《苏格拉底快车:从死去的哲学家那里寻找人生教训》一书的主要内容以及作者对这本书的评价。 5.C　细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book.(大约在我13岁的时候,一个叔叔给了我一本Jostein Gaarder的《苏菲的世界》。书里充满了对我来说很新鲜的想法,所以我整个夏天都在不断翻看那本书。)”可知,是Jostein Gaarder的书让作者喜欢上了哲学。 6.D　 推理判断题。第四段最后一句是作者对这本书的作用的高度评价,列举这些哲学家主要是为了帮助读者理解这本书带来的收获。 7.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中“but an invitation to think and experience philosophy(而是邀请你去思考和体验哲学)”、第四段中“and then frames each philosopher’s work in the context of one thing they can help us do better(然后把每个哲学家的著作放在他们能帮助我们做得更好的一件事的背景下)”以及第五段中“He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences(他使哲学思考成为一种有吸引力的练习,可以提高我们体验的质量)”可知,《苏格拉底快车》这本书让人们学会把哲学思想用于生活实践,作者多次提到这一点,说明这是作者喜欢这本书的地方。 8.D　推理判断题。根据第五段第一句中“with plenty of humor”和最后一段中“The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and...(《苏格拉底快车》是一本有趣、犀利的书,以其明显的简单和……吸引读者)”可知,作者认为Weiner的书有趣、犀利,简单易懂。 【高考词汇站】　1.reawaken　2.appealing　3.simplicity 4.一本,一册,一份　5.(语言)尖锐的 Ⅱ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。作者通过分享个人对写作过程中准确拼写和语法的重视以及使用实体词典的偏好等内容,围绕“词典的重要性”这一主题进行阐述和反思。 1.F　设空前两句“Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript.(并不是所有伟大的作家都擅长拼写。如果你想发表,提交一份完美的、专业呈现的原稿是至关重要的。)”强调了正确拼写的重要性;F项(那意味着语法正确,没有拼写错误)中,That指代前文的“a perfect, professionally presented manuscript”,且句意很好地承接上文。再结合设空后一句“No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.(没有哪个编辑会容忍一个不愿花心思把单词拼写正确的作家。)”可知突出了错误拼写带来的不良后果。整个段落围绕关键词spelling展开。 2.B　第二段第一句“I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus.”讲了作者在书桌上放了两本参考书:词典和同义词词典。后面一句阐述作者这么做的原因:“I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker.(我不相信我的笔记本电脑的拼写检查程序)”。B项(它不考虑语境)承接上文。It指代前一句中的my laptop’s spellchecker。 3.E　根据设空后文“It should give you a precise definition of each word(它应该给你提供每个单词的精确定义)”可知,设空处需要一个承上启下的过渡句,从词典提供正确拼写的功能转向提供精确定义的功能。故E项(当然,词典不仅仅是用来拼写的)符合语境。 4.A　根据设空后一句“However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.(然而,如果我需要检查一个单词的来源或查找其用法的例子,没有比这更好的了。)”可知它与A项(我不经常用这本词典)构成转折关系。 5.D　最后一段介绍百余年来最有影响力的英文词典——1755年出版的塞缪尔·约翰逊的《约翰逊词典》。约翰逊在解释“dull”的一个定义时写道:“编词典是乏味的工作”。设空后“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.(花几分钟浏览一两页是一种有意义的体验。)”与前面内容截然相反,故设空处需要一个表示转折含义的句子。故D项(但是词典读起来是一种乐趣)符合语境,句中pleasure与上句中dull形成鲜明对比。 干扰项分析C项“But I still don’t want to replace them.(但我还是不想换掉它们)”中虽有表示转折的词But,但代词them在上一句中没有对应的具体指代。故排除。 【高考词汇站】　1.professionally 　2.definition 3.differentiate　4.combination　5.influential　6.拼写检查程序　7.(书刊的)封面　8.匆匆翻阅,浏览 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
