方法3 根据文章的结论推断作者或文中人物的态度及意图
作者或文中人物的态度、倾向是指其对自己或他人陈述的观点是赞同、反对还是中立，对叙述或描写
的人、物或事件等是赞颂、同情、冷漠还是厌恶、憎恨。这种思想倾向和感情色彩往往隐含在文章的结论
中，或流露于修饰性的词语中。因此，在推断过程中，应特别注意文中总结全文的措辞，尤其是带有感情
色彩的形容词。常见的表达态度的词语有:
(1)、表示积极态度的词： support((支持), supportive(支持的), approve((赞成), approving((赞同的),for(支持), in
favor of(支持), optimistic((乐观的), positive((积极的), pleasant((愉快的), humorous((幽默的), confident((自信的),
impressive((令人钦佩的), praise((赞扬)等。
(2)、表示消极态度的词：disgusted((厌恶的), critical(批评的), negative((否定的), doubtful(怀疑的),
disappointed(失望的), pessimistic((悲观的), opposed((反对的)等。
(3)、表示中立的词： objective((客观的), factual((事实的),neutral((中立的), impartial((不偏不倚的)等。

【浙江2020年1月·A】 I never knew anyone who' d grownup in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs. Calloway,
our librarian. She ran Jackson's Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in big black letters was on signs
hung everywhere. If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your
clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read....
My mother shared this feeling of mine. Now, I think of her as reading so much of the time while doing
something else. I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a game of "Little Red Riding
Hood"with my brother's two daughters. She'd just look up at the right time, long enough to answer-in character-"The
better to eat you with, my dear," and go back to her place in the magazine article.
23. Where is the text probably from?
A. A guidebook. B. An autobiography. C. A news report. D. A book review.
【解析】通读全文可知,本文是作者在回忆自己童年时在图书馆阅读的经历，所以本文最可能出自一部自传。
故选B项。
（一）
（2022年·全国新高考I卷真题）Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula
(芝麻菜)was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then
friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad.
Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as
Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story. It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away
— from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into
restaurant garbage cans.
Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes foodwaste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest
producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”
If that’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin
sees my arugula story all the time — but for him, it's more like 12 bones of donated strawberries nearing their last
days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D．C．, which recovers food and turns it into healthy
meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有
瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and
freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.
Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don’t think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste,
whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not
include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.
1．What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?
A．We pay little attention to food waste. B．We waste food unintentionally at times.
C．We waste more vegetables than meat. D．We have good reasons for wasting food.
2．What is a consequence of food waste according to the test?
A．Moral decline. B．Environmental harm.
C．Energy shortage. D．Worldwide starvation.
3．What does Curtin’s company do?
A．It produces kitchen equipment. B．It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.
C．It helps local farmers grow fruits. D．It makes meals out of unwanted food.
4．What does Curtin suggest people do?
A．Buy only what is needed. B．Reduce food consumption.
C．Go shopping once a week. D．Eat in restaurants less often.

（2022年·全国新高考II卷真题）As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in
processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among
people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become
dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to
the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser,getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were
otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of
nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-
intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second
group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And
the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot
more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he
says.
“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has
flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing
happened to them at all.”
Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great
start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which
aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.
5．What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band?
A．The right way of exercising. B．The causes of a heart attack.
C．The difficulty of keeping fit. D．The aging process of the heart.
6．In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design?
A．Diet plan. B．Professional background.
C．Exercise type. D．Previous physical condition.
7．What does Levine’s research find?
A．Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.
B．High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young.
C．It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.
D．The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get.
8．What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest?
A．Making use of the findings. B．Interviewing the study participants.
C．Conducting further research. D．Clarifying the purpose of the study.
（三）（2022年·浙江6月高考真题）Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success,
but research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job.
In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a
new a made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than
those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional
ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower
job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.
How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many
workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who
chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value
relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer”, says Art
Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift
mood(情绪) and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort.
Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly
unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says. “Also,
there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So,
when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.”
9．What does Ellen Langer’s study show?
A．It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist B．Translation makes people knowledgeable.
C．Simpler jobs require greater caution. D．Moderate effort produces the best result.
10．The underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refers to someone Who_______.
A．is good at handling pressure B．works hard to become successful
C．a has a natural talent for his job. D．gets on well with his co-workers
11．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．A good thinker is able to inspire other people. B．Experience unrelated to your job is useless.
C．A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind. D．Focusing on what you do raises productivity.
12．What does the text seem to advocate?
A．Middle-of-the-road work habits. B．Balance between work and family.
C．Long-standing cultural traditions. D．Harmony in the work environment.

（2023届福建省福州市高三下学期毕业班第二次质量检测）In August, Jason M. Allen’s piece “TheatreD’opéra Spatial”-which he created with Al image generator Midjourney -won first place in the emerging artist
division’s “digital arts photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. The definition for
the category states that digital art refers to works that use “digital technology as part of the creative process”.
Allen’s award-winning image has led to debates about what, exactly, it means to be an artist and whether AI
can truly make art. “It felt bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics, “ one
Twitter user wrote. ”This is the literal definition of ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’, “ another
tweeted.
Yet while Allen didn’t use a paintbrush, there was plenty of work involved, he said. First, he played around
with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in elegant dresses and space helmets, in an attempt
to mix Victorian-style costuming with space themes. Over time, with many slight changes to his written prompt (提
示符), he created 900 different versions of what led to his final image. Then he improved its resolution through
Gigapixel AI and finally had the images printed.
Allen is glad the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is attracting so much attention. “Rather than
hating on the technology, we need to recognize that it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move
forward, ” Allen said.
Cal Duran, one of the judges for the competition, said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of AI, he
didn’t realize that when judging it. Still, he sticks by his decision to award it first place. “I think the AI technology
may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way, ” he said.
13．Why has Jason’s work led to debates?
A．It was a copy of a photograph. B．He challenged the older artists.
C．It was created with the help of AI. D．He broke the rule of the competition.
14．What can best describe Allen’s creating process?
A．Cooperative. B．Energy-consuming. C．Straightforward. D．Imagination-lacking.
15．What can we learn about AI from the last paragraph?
A．It is a double-edged sword. B．It attracts conventional artists.
C．It strikes art judges as no surprise. D．It may open a new world to artists.
16．What is the text mainly about?
A．A trend to be AI artists. B．An AI-generated art contest.
C．Responses to a winning AI artwork. D．Curiosity about an image generator.

（2023届湖北省·华中师范大学第一附属中学高三第二次学业质量评价检测）You might have heardsomeone say that a song changed their life. And maybe you used to hate tomatoes, but now you like it. No one
doubts that we change as we grow older. But do we change in major ways? Can we really change who we are?
People used to believe we stay pretty much the same throughout our lives, but researchers are increasingly finding
that we can and do change in big ways.
Psychologists have identified five dimensions that help us understand someone’s personality, which are called
the “Big Five.” They are: 1. Openness: How open are you to trying new things? 2. Conscientiousness (尽责性):
How responsible are you? 3. Extroversion (外向):How friendly, outgoing, and enthusiastic are you? 4.
Agreeableness: How caring, trusting, and generous are you? 5. Emotional stability: How calm are you, especially
when problems arise? Everyone has different levels of the big five dimensions. For example, Harry Potter has high
levels of openness to experience, while Hermione Granger would score high in conscientiousness.
Scientists used to think that each person’s “Big Five” stayed the same their whole life, but newer research
suggests that the dimensions do change. People who took a personality test as teen-agers scored very differently
when they took the same test 50 years later. Three dimensions usually changed more than the others, which are
emotional stability, conscientiousness, and agreeableness. In fact, most adults were more emotionally stable, more
conscientious, and more agreeable than when they were younger. Researchers considered this a sign that we mature
over time, perhaps learning to get along better with others.
Even though people change over time, the relationship between dimensions often remains similar. For
example, someone who was very open to new experiences but who was not agreeable as a teenager was likely still
more open to new things than agreeable as an adult. Scores changed, and sometimes changed a lot, but they didn’t
change randomly.
17．Why does the author mention Harry Potter and Hermione Granger in Paragraph 2?
A．To identify the impact of the big five dimensions.
B．To stress the value of openness and responsibility.
C．To analyze some main characters in popular fiction.
D．To illustrate various degrees of personality dimensions.
18．Which of the following is the most likely result of people’s aging?
A．Becoming more hot-tempered. B．Becoming more considerate.
C．Becoming less responsible. D．Becoming less generous.
19．What does the last paragraph suggest about one’s personality dimensions?
A．Personality dimensions change accidentally. B．One is likely to be more open than agreeable.
C．Relationship between dimensions stays unchanged. D．Changes in personality dimensions follow somepattern.
20．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．The Effects of Changing. B．What Are the “Big Five”?
C．Do People Really Change? D．Personality Dimensions Matter.

（湖南省长沙县、望城区、浏阳市、宁乡市平江县2022-2023学年高三3月调研考试）A growing
number of Americans are turning gas-powered vehicles into electric ones by using a process called an electric
power train conversion. Such conversions are becoming more popular as battery technology gets better and the
world turns toward cleaner energy sources.
Kevin Erickson owns a 1972 Plymouth Satellite that he renamed “Electrollite” after conversion. Now, the car
can go from a still position to 97 kilometers per hour in about three seconds. Its top speed is almost 250 kilometers
per hour.
Jonathan Klinger is vice president of car culture for Hagerty Insurance. He said converting classic cars into
EVs is “definitely a trend”, although research on the activity is limited. In May, the Michigan-based company did a
web-based study of about 25,000 automobile lovers. The top three reasons for converting the vehicles were for
better performance, for a fun project, and because of environmental concerns. He doesn’t think electric motors will
replace all gas engines. Some car lovers want to keep the sound of older cars' original engines. Electric conversions
require special knowledge to complete. They also involve many difficulties like safety concerns. And then there is
the price.
Sean Moudry, who co-owns Inspire EV, a small conversion business near Denver, recently worked on a 1965
Ford Mustang. The year-and-a-half-long project cost more than $100,000. Moudry and his partners replaced the gas
engine with a motor from a crashed Tesla Model S. He says many people don’t have the resources necessary to
carry out this kind of project. As a result, he says, it will take 20 years for electric conversions to become common.
But that reality could be coming sooner than expected, says Mike Spagnola, president and CEO of the
Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), a trade group. He said that electric vehicle products took about
1950 square meters of marketing space at SEMA's yearly show in Las Vegas this fall. That was up from only 232
square meters at the 2021 show.
I’m John Russell.
21．In which aspect do electric vehicles benefit from the conversion?
A．Performing better. B．Cleaning energy sources.
C．Maintaining speed. D．Bettering battery technology.22．How many factors contribute to gas-powered vehicles not being replaced according to Klinger?
A．3. B．4. C．5. D．6.
23．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Selling an old car. B．Buying a gas-powered vehicle.
C．Doing a web-based study. D．Converting a car to an electric one.
24．What can we know about the writer of the passage?
A．He loves classic cars. B．He repairs old cars.
C．He is a broadcaster. D．He is good at engineering.

（2023届辽宁省沈阳市高三教学质量监测）A few days before Christmas 1944, Patricia Krueger received
a telegram from the U.S. Army. She hoped it would contain a belated birthday greeting from her husband, an army
flight engineer, Charles Krueger, whom she had not heard from for 2 weeks. Instead, the message said he wasn’t
coming home: His B-29 had been lost over Mukden and he was later declared MIA (missing in action). Their son,
John Krueger of Middleton, Wisconsin, now 78, still tears up when he recounts this story.
Decades later, the military continues to work to bring back the remains of soldiers like Charles Krueger. The
job of finding them falls to DPAA (Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency), created in 2015 after critics charged
that the previous MIA search process was slow, and behind on innovations in science and technology. Between
1973 and 2014, the remains of only 1849 missing service members were returned to their families; in 2021, the
agency accounted for the remains of 141 MIAs, according to DPAA figures.
To accelerate the work, Congress gave DPAA the authority to develop public-private partnerships with
scientists and groups outside government. “Teaming up with academic scientists introduces new ways of thinking,”
says military historian Michael Dolski. “Working with partners allows us to tap into their technologies and
capabilities in ways that we just can’t maintain.”
For scientists, the work is more than technically satisfying. “It’s the most rewarding aspect of my career,” says
Mires, a scientist working with the agency. “In other archaeology sites I’ve worked on, the history is remote,” he
says. “Here, you’re searching something not for a thing, but for a person, and all the people they touched.”
25．What was the telegram about in paragraph 1?
A．A Christmas dinner. B．Charles Krueger’s loss.
C．A birthday greeting. D．John Krueger’s memory.
26．Why did people criticize the previous MIA search process?
A．Because DPAA wants to continue the search. B．Because it took long and lacked creativeness.C．Because the work was stopped by the military. D．Because 141 MIAs’ remains was found in 2021.
27．What is Michael Dolski’s attitude to the cooperation with scientists and groups?
A．Patient. B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Approving.
28．What is a suitable title for the text?
A．A long search for MIAs. B．Achievements of DPAA．
C．Assistance from science. D．Consequences of wars.

（2023届河南省郑州市高中毕业年级第二次质量预测英语试题）Six months before she died, my
grandmother moved into an old people’s home and I visited her there. The room was clean and warm, and the care
assistants were kind and cheerful. A general knowledge quiz show was on the television, and the only other sound
was snoring. People moved only when they needed to be helped to the bathroom. It was disappointing.
Grandmother talked a lot about how much she missed seeing her grandchildren, but I knew from my sister that they
hated going to visit her there.
So I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people’s homes in France. The idea
is simple, but revolutionary — combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same
building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities. In the afternoons, the residents
enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit
on.
The advantages are huge for everyone concerned. The children are happy, because they get a lot more
individual attention. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. And the staff are happy because
they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to
help with the children.
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young in an increasing number of countries.
There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to
care for ageing relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the
result is the same-increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with
children, and more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young
children who desperately need more support. Ifs a major problem in many societies.
That’s why intergenerational programs, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in
popularity all over the world.
29．What does the underlined word “residents” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?A．Old people. B．School teachers. C．Assistants. D．Staff.
30．How were the old people at the home the author’s grandmother was in?
A．They felt lonely and useless. B．They weren’t allowed to be visited.
C．They weren’t looked after properly. D．They lived in a dirty and uncomfortable room.
31．What does the author think is a major problem in many societies today?
A．The extended family is broken down.
B．There isn’t much room for grandparents.
C．Working parents have no time to care for their children.
D．There isn’t much contact between the old and the young.
32．What will be probably talked about later in the passage?
A．Advice on how to communicate with children. B．Plans for setting up more homes for old people.
C．Examples of successful intergenerational programs. D．Ways of teaching entertainment skills to old people.
