1.(2023·新高考Ⅱ卷·阅读理解B篇)
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids.And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden programme
at four low-income schools. The programme aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness,
and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighbourhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food
restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of
soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though
some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil
testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year,
students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Programme evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes.“We have students who
say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the programme’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that
they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming
effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,”
she says, “and they feel successful.”
( )27.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Rescuing school gardens
B.Experiencing country life
C.Growing vegetable lovers
D.Changing local landscape
【答案】C
【解析】主旨大意题。 通读全文并根据第一段中“The programme aims to help students develop science
skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.”和第四段中“Programme evaluations show that kids eat
more vegetables as a result of the classes.”可知,该项目旨在帮助学生发展科学技能、培养环境意识和养成健康
的生活方式。计划评估显示,学生们由于这些课程吃了更多的蔬菜。C项“Growing vegetable lovers”一语双
关,其中growing既能表明蔬菜爱好者正在增加,也可指爱好种植蔬菜的人。
(一)理解标题的三大特点:1. 概括性——准确而又简短;2. 针对性——标题外延正好与文章内容相符;
3. 醒目性——能引发读者的阅读欲望。
(二)确定文章标题:1. 正面肯定法:在理解文章主旨的基础上,看哪个选项能准确概括主旨;2. 反面否
定法:撇开原文,拿各个备选项去设想用它们写出来的“文章”将是什么内容,然后和原文章对照,一
一排除不符选项;3. 研读、比较四个选项:研读四个选项里面的中心词、修饰词的变化、概括性等。

According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown
rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a
lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to beinstalled near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought
to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control
weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation
and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and
contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar
development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the
easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over
the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws
related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness
guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a
shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-
friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B.Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C.InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D.Solar Farms: A New Development
【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have
transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil
improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里,许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造
成各种传粉媒介的庇护所,从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知,现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里
已经得到了很大的发展,更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保,这将是未来发展农业的新趋势,再结
合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断,本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D。

1.(2023年1月·浙江卷·阅读理解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 outhow 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.
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】C
【解析】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。
记叙文的文章大意:纯记叙文通常没有主题句,需要读者自己领悟,从中归纳提炼;但有的在文尾作者
会发表感慨、感悟或就此发表议论,主旨也就在此;还有的先发表某种议论或感慨再讲一个故事或经历,主
旨就在文首。
本题是一篇记叙文,文章大意需要归纳总结文中的主要内容。
2.(2020·全国新课标II·阅读理解B 篇)
Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help
children with math-related skills.
Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children the University of
Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle playwas found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents’ income,
education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.
The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and
found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at
54 months of age.
“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their
ability to rotate(旋转)and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement.
The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of children in the
study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more
frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play
with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more
active during puzzle play than parents of girls.
The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.
27.What is the text mainly about?
A.A mathematical method. B.A scientific study.
C.A woman psychologist D.A teaching program.
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。本文是关于孩子们玩智力游戏的研究,介绍了研究考虑的因素,研究过程和结果。
所以是关于科学研究的。B. A scientific study(一项科学研究)符合以上说法,故选B项。
科研报告或调查报告:反映科学实验或调研结果的报道或科普类说明文,内容主要包括“科研实验
结果或调查结果+实验研究过程或调查的具体情况”两大部分,文章主旨就是科研或调查结果,因此主题
句通常在首段,且常伴有 according to a study, a study showed/proved, this is suggested by the results of new
research on, scientists recently reported, a study claimed 等。

This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same. Some
people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together,
they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same
errors, then their errors won’t cancel each other out. 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.
( )32.What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A.The methods of estimation.
B.The underlying logic of the effect.
C.The causes of people’s errors.
D.The design of Galton’s experiment.【答案】B
【解析】段落大意题。根据第二段内容“This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those
errors aren’t always the same…the accuracy of the estimate will go down.”可知,本段阐述了人们所犯的错误不总
是相同的,各不相同的误差平均在一起,相互抵消,就会产生更准确的估计,独立估计的平均因误差的消除而产
生更准确的预测。因此本段主要解释了“群体智慧”效应这一现象的基本逻辑。故选B。
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。一个主题句常常是一个段落的开头,其后是论证性细节。在说明文、论述文
或新闻报道中多采用这种形式

Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the
content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in
society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from
machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates
and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.
31.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B.The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C.Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D.Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.
【答案】A
【解析】段落大意题。根据最后一段的“Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of
computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not
just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations.(意义的

最后一段我们能了解到社会互动是理解符号的关键。故选A。
阅读理解之主旨大意考点的必备知识:
一、命题规律:
1.命题规律:主旨大意题旨在考查考生归纳概括以及辨别主要信息和次要信息的能力,是阅读理解
中的高难度题,一定要把它作为最后一道题来做。概括全文大意最简单的方法就是把每段的大意串起来考
虑。2.考查类型:主要考查文章标题、段落大意题、文章大意题。
3.考查趋势:主旨大意题是高考阅读理解中的必考点,每年必考,一般考查1——2题。
二、 常用的解题方法
1. 如何判断文章标题
(1)思维导图
(2)文章标题类设问方式
·The best title of the passage is ________.
·Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
·What would be the best title for the passage?
·The most appropriate title of the passage is ______.
(3)文章标题的特点
1.概括性:能概括全文并体现文章的主旨;
2.针对性:内涵相符,范围一致;
3.新颖性:新颖奇特,吸引眼球;
4.精准性:不改变原文的意思和感情色彩
5.简短性:名词短语,动名词短语或祈使句。
(4)错误选项的特点
断章取义(仅为文中一细节);以偏概全;离题太远。
(5)解题技巧:
关键词法 反复出现的词语,多次重复的观点就是体现主旨的关键词
主题句法 根据文章主题句,确定中心词充当标题
串联法 分析文章细节,确定共同点,如同穿珠般,串联细节共同点,确定标题
逆向法 根据四个选项,考虑其可能内容,对照原文,最相似者为最佳选项
(6)思维方法:
要首先找出文章的主题句,然后根据文章主题句确定文章标题,如果没有主题句再寻找全文重复性强
的关键词或者概括全文。
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。
2. 如何判断文章大意
(1)思维导图
(2) 文章大意类设问方式
·What's the main idea/point of the passage?
·The passage is mainly about ________.
·The passage is mainly concerned about ________.
·Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?
·Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea/theme of the passage?
·In this passage the author discusses primarily ________.
·The subject discussed in this text is ________.
·The general/main idea of the passage is about ________.
(3)解题技巧:
方法1:主题句法
解答主旨大意题,找准文章的主题句是关键。下面介绍两种快速找出主题句的方法。
(1)根据文体和写作手法来定位主题句
(2)根据行文标志来定位主题句
转折词 如but,however,in fact,actually等时,其后的内容往往是作者真正想要表达的观点。
总结词 如therefore,thus,in short,conclude 等,其后的内容往往是文章的主题。
疑问句 若首段出现疑问句时,对该问题的回答可能是文章的主题。
方法2:高频词法
全文中无明显主题句时,我们可以利用文章中的高频词。任何一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的,因
此,有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词,即高频词,也叫做主题词。抓住了它,便
容易抓住文章的中心。
方法3:逆向思维法
在两个选项看上去都十分正确无法选择时,试着从选项出发,想象一下如果自己以此选项来写文章会
有哪些内容,然后把它与文章的内容比较,接近的即为正确选项。
3. 如何判断段落大意
(1)思维导图
(2)段落大意类设问方式
·What does the author tell us in Paragraph ...?
·The main idea of the second paragraph probably is ________.
·The first paragraph is mainly about ________.
·Which of the following can best summarize Para.1?
·What is the first paragraph mainly about?
(3)解题技巧:
段落大意题主要考查段落的主要意思,是对一个段落的基本内容的简缩和概括。概括、总结、归纳段
落大意就是用准确的、简练的语言把一个段落的主要意思明确而完整地表达出来。
做题时要特别注意“首尾兼顾”,即所问段落的首句和尾句。一是因为它们往往体现主旨要义,二是
因为利用这些信息可以迅速提炼段落结构框架,在框架下的主旨判断,其准确性更高。【2024年高考命题预测】

1.(2024·广东省高三联考·阅读理解C)
Electric vehicles (EVs) are widely considered a strong weapon in efforts against global warming. But are they
like what people believe? The Radiant Energy Group (REG) stated effects of EVs vary with countries. In some
nations, EVs lead to the release of more carbon gases than gasoline cars. The group reckoned gas emissions caused
by a gasoline vehicle and from charging an EV. Countries where charging an EV is cleaner than driving a gasoline-
powered car use a lot of nuclear or solar power.
Sales of electric cars are rising the fastest in Europe. Data from REG suggests EVs in Poland actually create
more carbon emissions because their electrical systems depend so much on coal. In other European countries,
however, EVs result in fewer emissions. The countries with the biggest carbon gas reduction use much clean power.
The first was Switzerland at 100 percent carbon reductions over gasoline vehicles.
Germany and Spain create lots of electricity from the sun and wind. But the sun and wind don’t add to a
country’s electrical system equally throughout the day. For this reason, carbon emissions saved by driving an EV
aren’t fixed. Charging in the afternoon, when there’s more sun and wind, saves 16 to 18 percent more carbon than
at night when electrical systems are more likely to be using gas or coal.
The gap in emissions between electric and gasoline-powered vehicles has narrowed in recent years. In Europe,
carmakers have been required to meet EU CO2 emissions of performance standards. They’ve made their gasoline
engines more fuel-efficient. As a result, carbon emissions of new gasoline-powered cars in Europe have fallen an
average of 25 percent in the past years. But EV sales in Europe are backed by government spending and rules
against new gasoline engine cars after 2035. Major automakers have set targets to sell mainly EVs in Europe in the
coming years.
Which can be the best title for the text?
A.What Benefits Do EVs Bring? B.Will EVs Replace Gasoline Cars in Europe?
C.How Do EVs Affect Carbon Emissions? D.Do Electric Cars Really Help the Environment?【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Electric vehicles (EVs) are widely considered a strong weapon in
efforts against global warming. But are they like what people believe? (电动汽车被广泛地认为是一种对抗全球
变暖的利器。但是他们真的像人们认为的那样吗?)”可知,作者在第一段提出了这个话题,后续段落对这
个话题进行了分析、解释,由此可知,本文主要讲的是电动汽车并不一定对环境有益,故选D。

Mishra, an Indian-born student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, was picking up alcohol
bottles after an evening party with friends, when he dropped a bottle. As Mishra swept up the glass, he wondered,
“Where does this go after the bottle is broken?” After researching, Mishra learned that 77% of glass bottles, even
those that are put in a recycling bin, end up in landfills after the glass breaks.
Mishra spent hours learning how to neatly cut and create all sorts of new items from old glass. Then, together
with a few other peers, he founded a start-up called Rescued Glass YVR. The group browsed beach cleanups and
restaurants to gather used glass bottles, which we returned into a variety of platters, candles, glasses, and other
items in their micro factory, When they sell these items in local markets, they got positive feedback, “It turns out
that people are really enjoying it,” said Mishra, “They like the product,”
The student start-up built a name for itself and grew in size. By the end of 2022, it had a team of nearly two
dozen students and had already succeeded in rescuing more than 6, 000 bottles. That’s when Rescued Glass YVR
decided to rebrand and comeback bigger.
The business gave themselves another name-Mosa. Mishra said, “In those house parties the alcohol that we
were drinking was Mosa, The name really helps us when we are thinking about larger conversations. It’s always
important that you remember where you’re coming from and where the process of this entire idea ever started.” In
addition to producing beautiful decor items and saving glass from landfills, Mosa has inspired other Vancouverites
to get involved in making the world a better place.
It is said that glass producing is responsible for 86 million tons of carbon emissions(排放)yearly, in addition to
the garbage glass that ends up in landfills, Mosa is making good use of glass, and inspiring others to do so as well.
All because of a little inspiration after a college party.
What can be the best title of this text?
A.Turn Trash Into Treasure B.Make Every Penny Count
C.Inspiration Leads to Success D.Create Something From Nothing
【答案】A
【解析】主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了Mishra创立公司,将旧酒瓶变成生活用品的故事,算是变废为宝。
所以用A项“Turn Trash Into Treasure”作为本文题目,与文章主题相符合。故选A项。

(2024·广东省高三联考·阅读理解D)
Poet Wadsworth Longfellow said “music is the universal language of mankind”, and there’s growing evidence
that he was right. New research shows people with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆) disease often respond to familiar music
or song lyrics, even when their memories and ability to participate in conversation may be flagging.Jonathan Graff-Radford,Doctor of Medicine,explains on The Mayo Clinic website why this may be: “Musical
memories are often preserved in Alzheimer’s patients because key brain areas linked to musical memory are
relatively undamaged by the disease.”
When English senior Ted McDermott was diagnosed with Alzheimer in 2016, his son Simon McDermott
found Ted became verbally and physically violent as the disease progressed. Grateful for the resources provided by
the Alzheimer’s Society, Simon and 80-year-old Ted made videos of their daily car duets (二重唱) for a fundraising
‘‘Singing for the Brain” program in 2019. Truly remarkable,considering that some days Ted didn’t recognize
Simon.
The songs brought them to the attention of the public. In just a few months their efforts had considerable
success on YouTube, raising over 100,000, and resulting in a contract with Decca Records for 80-year-old Ted.
Although Ted has begun to decline a little in the last years, he always remembers the words to his favorite songs
and is happy to go with Simon daily in the car to sing. Different music-related programs and projects are offered by
the U.K. Alzheimer’s Society organizations. These programs are designed for people with Alzheimer to provide
mental stimulation in a supportive social environment.
Social engagement and keeping your brain active, along with a healthy diet and exercising, may seem like
obvious good habits to follow for your health in general. They’ve also been proven to be factors in reducing the risk
of developing Alzheimer.
It’s never too late to start taking care of your body and your brain — so make music appreciation or singing
part of the routine of your loved one struggling with Alzheimer. As William Shakespeare said, “If music be the food
of love,play on.”
What is the text mainly about?
A.80-year-old Ted defeats Alzheimer’s disease.
B.The power of music for Alzheimer’s patients.
C.Poets inspire Alzheimer’s patients with music.
D.A good habit to follow for your physical health.
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Poet Wadsworth Longfellow said “music is the universal language of
