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。各类阅读理解中的长难
句日益增多,因此,在复习备考中,我们应该着重从题型、体裁和微技能三方面进行高效复
习。
第 1 讲 题型突破——细节理解题
细节理解题相对比较简单,但在高考阅读理解中占了 60%的比重。细节理解题常分为直接信息题、间接信息题、数字计算题、细节排序题和正误判断题。分析近三年的高考真题
可知:直接信息题和间接信息题为高频考点,其他皆为低频考点。
设问方式
1.特殊疑问句形式。以when,where,what,which,who,how much/many等疑问词引出
问题。
2.判断是非形式。含有TRUE/FALSE,NOT true或EXCEPT等的判断是非问题。此时要注
意题干中是否含有否定词,如not,never等。
3.以“According to...”开头的提问形式。
4.填空形式。如The biggest challenge for most mothers is from ________.
选项特征
技法一 直接信息题
——定位比对找答案
直接信息题常以应用文的形式出现在考题中,涉及的话题有:广告类、活动安排类、书
籍或电影介绍类、演出信息类等。设问方式多为以 5W1H(what,who,when,where,why
和how)等开头的特殊疑问句。
解此类试题常用“定位比对”法。解题流程如下:
(2022·新高考全国Ⅰ·A片段)
Late Work
An essay not submitted in class on the due date will lose a letter grade for each class period it
is late.If it is not turned in by the 4th day after the due date,it will earn a zero.Daily assignments
not completed during class will get a zero.Short writings missed as a result of an excused absencewill be accepted.
23.What will happen if you submit an essay one week after the due date?
A.You will receive a zero.
B.You will lose a letter grade.
C.You will be given a test.
D.You will have to rewrite it.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。一、在题干中标注定位词submit an essay one week after the due date,二、
在原文中找出信息句,即 Late Work部分“If it is not turned in by the 4th day after the due
date,it will earn a zero”,三、比对选项与信息句,可知答案为A。
技法二 间接信息题
——同义转换定答案
间接信息题常在记叙文、说明文或议论文中考查,会涉及“人与自我”“人与社会”和
“人与自然”三大主题语境。
设问方式
1.According to the author/passage,...
2.What can we learn about...?
此类试题相比直接信息题,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:一是同义词替换或释义,即把文中的语言(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:
(2022·全国甲·B片段)
Goffin’s cockatoos,a kind of small parrot native to Australasia,have been shown to have
similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old.Though not known to use tools in the
wild,the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage.In a recent experiment,
cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it.The clear front of the box had a
“keyhole” in a geometric shape,and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” tochoose from.Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut.
24.How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment?
A.By following instructions.
B.By using a tool.
C.By turning the box around.
D.By removing the lid.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。一读题干,锁定关键词,即 How,get the nut;二扫原文,锁定信息区
间,即第一段中的“Though not known to use tools in the wild,the birds have proved skilful at
tool use while kept in the cage.”和“...the birds were given five differently shaped ‘keys’ to
choose from.Inserting the correct ‘key’ would let out the nut.”,B项是对信息区间的同义
描述,即在实验中,凤头鹦鹉是通过使用工具从盒子里取出坚果的。故选B。
技法三 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。但是英语阅读中的数字计算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。
解此类试题常用“整合推算”法。解题流程如下:
(2022·全国乙·A片段)
Admission
£4.Children under 12 years accompanied by an adult are admitted free.
22.How much would a couple with two children under 12 pay for admission?
A.£4. B.£8.
C.£12. D.£16.
答案 B解析 数字计算题。一读题干寻找关键词 a couple with two children under 12,二在
Admission部分中标记£4.Children under 12 years accompanied by an adult are admitted free,
三用加法推算答案,即一对夫妇应付4+4=8(英镑),两个12岁以下的儿童在成人陪同下免
费,即入场费为8英镑。故选B。

(外刊阅读·原创题) 选自(https://www.nowtolove.com.au/news/real-life/vitiligo-aboriginal-
model-65734)
The afternoon sun shone down on my daughter,Syriah,13,while I painted.I watched as
the warm rays lit up her skin,creating a beautiful pattern.But Syriah was born with vitiligo,a
condition that causes the loss of skin colour in patches(小块) all over her body.
Although a lot of people with vitiligo struggle with confidence issues,Syriah was not one of
them,comfortable from the moment it started showing at four years old.It was inspiring.The older
she got,the more she told me about her hobby of modelling but living in a small town,it
wasn’t easy.
Painting had always been a big part of my life.Although I did it for fun,people were always
asking me if my works were for sale.Then I decided to go for it,making a Facebook page to sell
my creations.I wanted to set up a legacy(遗产) for my kids and help build them something for their
future.
One day,I received a message from a woman named Ana.Interested,I contacted her and she
explained she was the creator of London Pacific Fashion Week,an event where designers can
launch their brands during London Fashion Week.“I want you to create a fashion line for a runway
show,” she said,explaining that they’d get to search for their own models too.
Suddenly,I thought of Syriah’s modelling ambition.What if this could get her started? Soon
after,Ana connected with me on Facebook and came across the photos I’d taken of Syriah.
“How would you feel about your daughter modelling in the show? I love her smile with
confidence!”she messaged.
“Yes!”I replied excitedly,“that’s her dream!”
When I told my girl the news,she cried with excitement.
Now,we can’t wait for Syriah’s first modelling performance.Hopefully her image will
make a difference to girls,just like her,who’ve never seen people like them represented in the
fashion industry.She’ll show everyone that beauty comes in many forms.

Despite Kyle Tianshi being only a 15-year-old US high schooler,he has published five sci-fi
novels.His fifth book Eventide was released in July.However , this may not be his most
impressive achievement as Kyle just received the “Hero Award”,a $20,000 grand prize.It is
the top honor in the California Youth Sustainability Awards.The competition aims to encourage and
support young community leaders who are making a difference for sustainability in their
communities by taking action for the planet.
Kyle,a sophomore from the Cambridge School in the US,received the honor for his
portable invention called NEREID.The device can detect microscopic particles(粒子) in water by
using a laser and microscope.These particles can be harmful to people and the environment.
Kyle came up with the idea for the invention based on his experience growing up in San
Diego,California,US.People had no access to unpolluted drinking water and his parents asked
him not to drink tap water.Kyle spent about $60 buying the tools needed to analyze the tap water:
a laser,a microscope and a micro-computer.“It’s incredibly powerful for the price,”Kylesaid.Then he used their family’s garage as his laboratory,doing research on the pollution of
drinking water caused by micro-plastics.
Kyle hopes to bring to market a low-cost alternative tool for detecting micro-plastic pollution
levels in drinking water.In this way,he can offer help to people who don’t have access to water
filtration(过滤) systems.He has applied for a patent.
Kyle said his sister Emily,a freshman at Stanford University,inspired his interest in
environmental research.She was recognized nationally for developing a water collection
device.They have founded the Clearwater Innovation program to advocate for clean water through
social media platforms and organize community cleanup events.

The global population growing,the climate is warming,and,no surprise,the demand for
energy is steadily increasing.We need to use less energy in any way that we can.
German design student Tobias Tribenbacher,from the University of the Arts Berlin,has
created a street light called Papilio in response to global sustainability initiatives,saying that he
initially chose to create a city-facing street light due to such lights’ role in tight pollution.
Papilio can be mounted to walls or set up as a freestanding lantern.The lamp should ideally be
placed between three to six metres above ground,where ground-level winds are the strongest.The
lamp is shaped like a pinwheel that acts as a wind turbine(涡轮),catching the wind to produce its
own energy.It also has a rechargeable battery that stores electricity,so the lamp can operate even
on less windy days.
Another key component of the lamp is the light itself.The warm-colored light doesn’t draw
the attention of insects,and it uses an infrared(红外线的) sensor so that the light is only started by
nearby motion,reducing its contribution to light pollution.
Aside from saving public space and beautifying streets,the street light’s design is also a
visual signal of clean energy in action.“Design not only determines how street lights are
working.It can also shape our attitude towards them and consequently affect how we use
them,”Tobias Tribenbacher says.“Because energy creation is often an invisible process,
projects such as these help the production of electricity become comprehensible.”
The lamp’s ability to change wind power into electricity can also be a huge benefit to
naturally windy areas.And since it doesn’t require any electrical infrastructure(基础设施),there
will be an opportunity to fix the street lights in remote settings or places where infrastructure
innovations can be cost-prohibitive.
Just as lanterns create the character of streets and squares,Papilio is envisioned as a public
sustainability statement that motivates residents to take part in transforming our cities into climate-
friendly,future-proof environments.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新型的路灯,这款路灯是由风能转化为
电能,因此可以减少能源使用,从而减少对环境的污染。
8.Why did Tribenbacher choose to create the street light?
A.To tackle light pollution.
B.To reduce biodiversity loss.
C.To beautify the city he lives in.
D.To draw public attention to waste.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段以及第四段第二句可知,这款路灯最初设计的目的就是用来
应对光污染问题。故选A。
9.Which of the following is the feature of the street light?

B.It can be fixed anywhere.
C.It is switched off by hand.
D.It is unattractive to insects.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知,这款路灯不会吸引小昆虫。故选D。
10.What do Tribenbacher’s words in paragraph 5 imply?
A.The climate crisis is tough to address.
B.Design can facilitate our comprehension.
C.We must take action to save clean energy.
D.We know little about electricity generation.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Design not only determines how street lights...the
production of electricity become comprehensible.”可推断出,这样的设计可以促进我们对于能
源生产的理解。故选B。
11.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To stress the importance of innovation.
B.To introduce a wind-powered street light.
C.To advocate environmental sustainability.
D.To analyze the sustainability of the street light.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段以及下文对这款路灯的作用、工作原理的介绍可知,本篇文

There are few places on Earth that humans haven’t messed up.Now even Antarctica,the
only continent with no permanent human inhabitants,is being altered by us.A study found that the
increasing human presence in Antarctica is causing more snowmelt—bad news for a frozen world
already battling the effects of human-caused global warming.
Black carbon,the dark dusty pollution that comes from burning fossil fuels has settled in
locations where tourists and researchers spend a lot of time,scientists found.Even the smallest
amount of the dark pollutant can have a significant impact on melting because of its very low
reflectiveness:things that are light in color,like snow,reflect the sun’s energy and stay cool;
things that are dark,like black carbon,absorb the sun’s energy and warm up.
“The snow albedo(反射率) effect is one of the largest uncertainties in regional and global
climate modeling right now,”Alia Khan,a snow and ice scientist at Western Washington
University,told CNN.“That’s one of the motivations for the study,to quantify the impact of
black carbon on regional snowmelt,which is important for quantifying the role of black carbon in
the global loss of snow and ice.”
“Antarctica is sitting there pretty much silently all year.But,if it weren’t there,in thestate that it is meant to be,the balance that we have in the climate system will no longer
be,”Marilyn Raphael,a geography professor said.“Antarctica’s sea ice is also important to
maintain a balance in atmospheric circulation,”he added.As waters get warmer,some Antarctic
creatures are finding their homes more and more unlivable.
“Everything we do has consequences,”Raphael said.“We need to educate ourselves
about those consequences,especially in systems that we know relatively little about.We have to be
careful that we don’t upset the climate balance.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了由于人为造成的全球变暖,南极洲的环境发
生了变化。

Ever wondered if dogs can learn new words?Yes,say researchers as they have found that
talented dogs may have the ability to grasp new words after hearing them only four times.
While previous evidence seems to show that most dogs do not learn words,unless eventually
very well trained,a few individuals have shown some extraordinary abilities,according to a
study published in the journal Scientific Reports.
“We wanted to know under which conditions the gifted dogs may learn novel words,”
said researcher xuekw Claudia Fugazza from the Eötvös Lornd University in Hungary.For the
study,the team involved two gifted dogs,Whisky and Vicky Nina.The team exposed the dogs to
the new words in two different conditions.
In the exclusion-based task,presented with seven known toys and one new toy,the dogs
were able to select the new toy when presented with a new name.Researchers say this proves that
dogs can choose by exclusion when faced with a new word,they selected the only toy which did
not have a known name.
However,this was not the way they would learn the name of the toy.In fact,when they were
presented with one more equally new name to test their ability to recognize the toy by its name,
the dogs got totally confused and failed.
The other condition , the social one , where the dogs played with their owners who
pronounced the name of the toy while playing with the dog,proved to be the successful way to
learn the name of the toy,even after hearing it only 4 times.“The rapid learning that we observed
seems to equal children’s ability to learn many new words at a fast rate around the age of 18
months,”Fugazza says.“But we do not know whether the learning mechanisms(机制) behind
this learning are the same for humans and dogs.”
To test whether most dogs would learn words this way,20 other dogs were tested in the same
condition,but none of them showed any evidence of learning the toy names,confirming that the
ability to learn words rapidly in the absence of formal training is very rare and is only present in a
few gifted dogs.
8.What was the purpose of the study published in Scientific Reports?
A.To better train dogs’ ability to learn new words.
B.To further confirm previous evidence about dogs.C.To prove extraordinary memory abilities of gifted dogs.
D.To explore favorable conditions for gifted dogs’ new-word learning.

Here’s a look at our four favorite state parks in Colorado,and what to do at each one.Eleven Mile State Park
Eleven Mile State Park is about 40 miles west of Colorado Springs.The highlight here is a
huge reservoir(水库) and nearby wetlands that are a huge draw to boaters,fishers,paddlers,and
windsurfers.While you can’t go swimming,you can go sailing or kayaking.Even in winter,
Eleven Mile is big for fishing.It hosts an annual,statewide ice fishing tournament.
Roxborough State Park
Roxborough State Park is where to go for the natural unique scenery.The park is home to 300-
million-year-old red sandstone formations.They appear from the earth at a shocking 60-degree
angle that makes you wonder how they don’t fall down.With dramatic geological masterpieces,
it is no surprise that this is one of Colorado’s official National Natural Landmarks.
State Forest State Park
If you want to spot a moose(驼鹿) (safely,from a distance),explore the 71,000-acre State
Forest State Park in the small town of Walden.The State Forest State Park is Colorado’s moose
capital,home to more than 600 of the big guys.Moose aren’t the only attraction in this large,
adventure-filled park.It’s also home to black bears and elk(麋鹿).It has lakes and lots of
trails(about 90 miles of hiking trails,plus more for biking),and to top it all off,there are sand
dunes here.

From crystal-blue lakes to snow-capped mountains and thousand-year-old trees,Canada’s
nature is admired around the world.Now it might also be just what the doctor ordered.An ambitious
new programme allows doctors to write prescriptions(处方) for free annual passes to Canada’s
national parks,encouraging their patients to improve their health—both mental and physical—by
taking a stroll in nature.
The prescriptions are provided by PaRX,in partnership with Parks Canada.The first passes
were handed out last month,giving holders access to more than 80 national parks,historic sites
and nature reserves.PaRX,a health initiative(倡议) launched in 2019 by the British Columbia
Parks Foundation,notes on its website that spending time in nature can lead to longer lives,
increased energy,reduced stress and anxiety,improved heart health,less pain and better
mood.Vitamin D from the sun’s rays has proven health benefits.The organization also hopes that
the prescriptions will boost investment in conservation in Canada.
The initial provision covers four Canadian provinces:British Columbia,Saskatchewan,
Ontario and Manitoba.Participating doctors have only 100 annual passes to hand out for now,but
PaRX hopes that the programme will be expanded.
“Medical research now clearly shows the positive health benefits of connecting with
nature,” Steven Guilbeault,the environment minister,said.“I am confident this programme
will quickly show its enormous value to the well-being of patients as it continues to expand
throughout the country.”
Canada’s physicians are already in the habit of prescribing “nature therapy” as a
treatment for anxiety,depression,high blood pressure,immune function and insomnia(失眠).
Previously,though,they would write more general prescriptions,such as spending time in
nature twice a week,for at least 20 minutes at a time.This is the first time that they have been able
to equip their patients with tickets.
4.Why does the author mention Canada’s nature in paragraph 1?A.To recommend doctors’ prescriptions.

(2022·福建百校联合测评)
Some events have been added to the 2024 Olympics,with surfing,breakdancing and sport
climbing among the recent additions.With them come a group of terms that are foreign to the
French language.For some French-language purists,it’s too much to bear to rely on English topraise surfers on their “noseriding”—standing on the front of the board.They’ve decided they
need a French solution.
The French government has created a team of language experts devoted to promoting the
national language.They will meet periodically over the next couple of years to identify and define
new sports terms.The French battle against the influence of other languages isn’t new.In 1994,
the Toubon law was passed,forcing the use of French in all government publications,contracts
and advertisements.Yet it contained several loopholes,which allow brands and companies to
extensively use English.As a result,Anglicisms are becoming more obvious.
Julie Neveux,professor of linguistics at Sorbonne University in Paris,said Anglicisms are
“sometimes estimated at just under 5% of the present vocabulary,but they are disturbing
because they show that we follow an economic and cultural model other than our own”.They are
particularly present in sports competitions and events,during which athletes from around the
world are used to communicating in English.“Sport was one of the first areas to be
globalized,”said sports historian Michael Attali.“This phenomenon has strengthened English as
the official language.”
Despite their best efforts,no committee has successfully prevented English from infiltrating
everyday language.By the time French officials agreed on a translation and its definition,the
English version has already spread throughout the nation.“Similar committees have been put in
place in the past,but nothing has changed so far,”said Attali.
“There are far fewer Anglicisms in French than there are French words in English,”said
Neveux.Adding these exchanges should not be seen as a threat.“All living languages exist by
borrowing from each other.Languages only exist thanks to their impurity.”
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了法国政府成立了一个语言专家团队,致力于推
广法语。他们将在未来几年定期开会,以确定和定义新的体育术语。文章还介绍了历史上法
语对抗其他语言影响的事件以及人们的看法。

解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知,巴黎索邦大学的语言学教授Julie Neveux说,
Anglicisms “有时估计在现有词汇中只占不到5%,但它们令人不安,因为Anglicisms表明,
我们遵循的是一种除了我们自己的模式以外的经济和文化模式”。故 they 指的是
“Anglicisms”,故选A。
10.What’s the result of previous efforts to stop English from infiltrating French?
A.Unimportant. B.Successful.
