一 、考情概述
推理判断题在近几年高考阅读理解中的考查数量仅次于细节理解题,是历年高考英语阅读理
解的核心考点和命题集中点,考查方向以推断细节隐含意义为主。在阅读测试中属于深层次
理解题,它要求考生在理解全文的基础上,从文章本身所提供的信息出发, 运用逻辑思维,并借
助一定的常
识进行分析、推理和判断。其答案一般不会在原文中直接呈现,要把文章提供的信息进行分
析、提炼和归纳之后才能得出。
推理判断题涉及的范围很广,主要包括:推断细节隐含意义;推断文章出处或者读者对象;推断
作者的写作意图;对文章内容进行预测;推断作者或文中人物对某个人或事物的态度或评价
等。
二 、命题特点
推理判断题涉及的文章内容可能是一句话或几句话,也可能是一个或两三个段落,甚至是整篇
文章,所以此类题目难度比较大,考生很容易失分。其设问特点为:
1.考查暗含的信息,文章中没有明说;
2.一般在文章中可以找到提示信息;3.设问内容含义深刻,不像细节题那么直白。
三 、选项特点
1.正确选项的特点
(1)在文章中可以找到信息支持,并且可以推断出正确选项。
(2)大多含义深刻,不是常识选项。
2.干扰项的特点
(1)颠倒是非:选项的结果与推断出来的正确结果相反。
(2)照搬原文:原文里有相关的直接信息,不需要经过推断。
(3)推理过度:把文章中的一些个案绝对化、扩大化。
(4)无中生有:捏造原文中并不存在的信息,并以此作为依据进行推断。

高考真题
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely
contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer
Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But
the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and
one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes
race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of
exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations,
race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per
hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than
running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says.
According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight perstep, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body
weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are
uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the
ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the
sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or
experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
28.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A. They must run long distances.
B. They are qualified for the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
29.What advantage does race walking have over running?
A. It's more popular at the Olympics.
B. It's less challenging physically.
C. It's more effective in body building.
D. It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
30.What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A. Getting experts' opinions.
B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach.
D. Doing regular exercises.
31.Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking?
A. Skeptical. B. Objective.
C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
Passage 2 [2018浙江,A]
语篇类型:说明文 主题:英国作家狄更斯 词数:314 难度:★★
建议时间:6分钟
高考真题
In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People
had been writing novels for a century — most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in1719 — but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in
its early stages; the literacy(识字)rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared
without the names of the authors, often with something like "By a lady." Novels, for the most
part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.
In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and
publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and
their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim — were held up as moral
touchstones. Today Dickens' greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon (名人
堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.
How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a
numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were
published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901; today a casual reader might be able to
name a half-dozen of them. It's partly true that Dickens' style of writing attracted audiences from
all walks of life. It's partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress.
But it's also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever
know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer.
But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own
culture — to understand how he made himself a lasting one.
21.Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?
A. They were difficult to understand.
B. They were popular among the rich.
C. They were seen as nearly worthless.
D. They were written mostly by women.
22.Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress .
A. his reputation in France
B. his interest in modern art
C. his success in publication
D. his importance in literature
23.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To remember a great writer.
B. To introduce an English novel.C. To encourage studies on culture.
D. To promote values of the Victorian age.

If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one — take advantage of Apple Day
to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day
itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October
around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To
people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in
supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of
classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it
doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head
which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best
varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect
soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your
conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed
fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately
gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try
visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
31.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To show how to grow apples.
B. To introduce an apple festival.
C. To help people select apples.
D. To promote apple research.

Bees play a vital role in the world. Unfortunately, bees are dying very fast.
The main purpose of keeping bees is to make honey. Honey, shockingly, isn't used for human
consumption; it is essential to the insects. Bees store honey in their hives(蜂箱) in order to haveenergy for their flight muscles and for heating the hives in the winter. They collect pollen(花粉)
which supplies protein for young
bees to grow.
According to honey.com, the production and quality of crops
as a result of pollination by bees have increased a lot. These insects are responsible for over 70
kinds of the fruits and vegetables we eat today, including apples, grapes, beans and broccoli(西兰
花).
So if they are so valuable to agriculture, why do they keep dying off? A key factor seems to
be pesticides(杀虫剂). Bees who
are exposed to pesticides suffer from the damage to their neurological(神经系统的) functions,
specifically to their memory or behavior. And that's why the majority of worker bees disappear
and leave behind a queen bee, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining
immature bees and the queen bee. There are several other causes of the decline of bees, including
the destruction of natural habitat, like woodlands, forests and other habitats for bees. The climate
change is also a factor in the decline of the bees' population.
Actually, there are a variety of methods to help the bees' population grow. One way is to start
your own organic garden by planting bee-friendly plants. Pesticides are used in both industrial
practices and even in your home, so it is best to find organic seeds.
35.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Another way to save bees.
B. Other tips for choosing seeds.
C. More methods to plant green organic fruits.
D. Causes of the decline of the bees' population.

记叙文 父亲推着残疾儿子参加比赛 348 ★★ 6分钟
It’s been a long journey from 1962 when Rick was born as a spastic quadriplegic(四
肢瘫痪者) with cerebral palsy(脑瘫). Doctors told the young Hoyts that their son had no
hope of a normal life.As Rick developed, his parents noticed he was far from a "vegetable" as doctors had
called him. "We could tell by looking in Rick’s eyes that he understood everything we
were saying. We taught him the alphabet and numbers and did a lot of reading with
him," says Dick, the father.
Then with the help of the Tufts Interactive Communicator(TIC), Rick was able to use
his head movement to tap out words and phrases.
As Rick was tapping out his first words, his parents debated over what he’d say. To
their surprise, his first words were "Go, Bruins!" "We knew right then and there that he
understood everything, and that he loved sports and followed the game just like anyone
else," says Dick.
When Rick was in high school he wanted to take part in a 5-mile road race and he
did finish the race.That night Rick tapped out a message that would change the course of
his life. He wrote, "Dad, when I’m running, it feels like I’m not disabled."
"That was a very powerful message for me," recalls Dick. He knew he wanted to
loan Rick his arms and legs so he could compete in races.
With the father pushing his disabled son in a wheelchair, the father-son "Team Hoyt"
began running races. Dick says that some people thought he was selfish, pushing his
disabled son in races. "They thought I was doing it for myself. They didn’t understand
Rick was the one wanting to race," he says.
Team Hoyt has completed to date over 1,075 running events including marathons
and Ironman triathlons(三项全能运动).

议论文 保护老树 346 ★★★ 7分钟
One of the costs of being a lover of old trees is the all-too-frequent loss of a
beautiful soul you ’ ve grown fond of . Last summer was harder than most for old trees and
their human supporters. The spring’s nonstop rain flooded soils and caused root systems of
many large, old trees to rot in part. Then, when the summer came, trees could not tap
deep sources of water that would normally have maintained(维持) them. Many valuable
old trees died.
When I volunteered for the Mount Rainier Tree Commission, I heard from many
people concerned about their trees. We had little to offer them. That’s because public and
private urban tree resources and programs were aimed almost entirely at planting trees but
not at maintaining trees. No state or province program that I could find provided any
financial resources for maintaining tree health. Small and under-resourced cities such as
ours were on their own.
This is backward. Scientists are learning that large, old trees are the most valuable,
especially in cities. They put on wood fastest and take the most carbon out of the air.
They harbor the most wildlife. They can lower summer temperatures by 20 degrees or
more. In a recent study, researchers found that Boston would get more benefit from
keeping the trees it has alive than from planting new trees. There’s reason to think this
finding would apply in other cities, too.
Now, our public and private tree programs often ignore old trees until it is too late.
As long as we abandon our old trees, planting more is merely to keep pace with growing
losses. We want trees to help protect us, but we leave them unprotected. Consider this inthe human world: Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make
it. Children need caring for and it’s why we have schools and child health-insurance
programs. We could get so much more out of our trees if we just put a little more into
them.
1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 suggest?
A. Strong determination to plant trees.
B. Real regret at growing old trees.
C. Great concern about tree problems.
D. Deep love for valuable old trees.
2.Why was the author almost powerless to help people worried about their trees?
A. The urban tree programs were faced with financial problems.
B. The author’s knowledge of maintaining tree health was limited.
C. The focus of the tree resources and programs was on tree planting.
D. The organization the author volunteered for was short of tree experts.
3.The author argues in Paragraph 3 by .
A. comparing different cases
B. presenting research findings
C. referring to scientists’ sayings
D. carrying out some experiments
4.Why does the author give the example of nursing babies in the end?
A. To stress the importance of tree insurance programs.
B. To show the close connection between trees and babies.
C. To advocate protecting trees as humans care for babies.
D. To persuade human beings to pay more attention to babies.

China is one of the first countries to breed a medical culture. In comparison with
Western methods, traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) adopts a vastly different approach.
For thousands of years, Chinese people have accumulated rich experience in fighting all
sorts of diseases, therefore forming a unique medical theory under the guidance of ancient
Chinese philosophies.The core behind TCM is that the human body’s life is the consequence of the
balance between yin and yang. Yang functions to safeguard us against outer harm, and yin
is the inner base to store and provide energy. When the balance between the two aspects
is disturbed, people fall ill.
One of the traditional techniques of TCM, acupuncture(针刺疗法), means insertion of
needles into superficial structures of the body — usually at acupoints(穴位) — to restore
the yin-yang balance. It is often accompanied by moxibustion(灸法), which involves
burning the mugwort on or near the skin at an acupoint.
The first known text that clearly talks about something like acupuncture and
moxibustion as it is practiced today is Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon. It is the earliest
and most important written work of TCM and is considered the most representative
medical text in China.
Acupuncture and moxibustion have aroused the interest of international medical
science circles. And TCM is gradually gaining worldwide recognition. The WHO issued a
document in 2002 that appealed to more than 180 countries to adopt TCM as an
alternative in their medical policies. In 2010, acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional
Chinese medicine were added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage
of Humanity by the UNESCO. Presently, TCM has been back in the news for its
effectiveness in improving the cure rate of the COVID-19 since its outbreak in January
2020.
1.What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. TCM. B. Acupuncture.
C. Yin-yang balance. D. Moxibustion.
2.What can we learn about Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon from the text?
A. It distinguishes acupuncture from moxibustion.
B. It’s a foundation of world medical research.
C. It stresses the importance of using acupoints.
D. It greatly boosts the development of TCM.
3.What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To introduce TCM to the world.
B. To review the development of TCM.C. To tell TCM and Western medicine apart.
D. To comment on TCM in fighting COVID-19.
4.What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text?
A. Why TCM gets recognition from WHO.
B. Why TCM is gaining popularity.
C. How TCM helps in the current situation.
D. How other countries adopt TCM well.

My best friend travelled to stay with my family last weekend. When she arrived, she
went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate some dried fruit. She wasn’t being
rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can
eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks
at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was simple. I was recovering from surgery and couldn’t
go to shopping malls. But there were no quiet moments. We’ve lived in different cities
for almost a decade. Reunions demand conversation.
Our personalities are matched, to be sure,and a shared history is indescribably(难以形
容地)valuable. We were competitors at high school before bonding. Then we discovered
the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship developed itself quickly. We
stayed companions and supported each other through law school and through our first
jobs. Ours is a friendship for the ages.
There is something special about friends who know everything about you. They are
rare. They have seen your achievements, your desperation and your boring routine of the
in-between. It’s special to unpack feelings without wasting time filling in the blanks. As
my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to do well, but we simply
have to be ourselves. We drop the act, the performance and the public version of
ourselves. The special friendships are those which never fail to delight us, whose
continuation is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference in our separate lives.I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this
friend, and to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.

3.What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A. Real friends are easy to make.
B. Good friendships need devotion.
C. Special friendships may fail to delight us.
D. Distance and difference bring a friendship.
4.Why does the author write this text?

Everyone needs to be safe, loved and to have a sense of belonging. These are inborn
and natural basic needs. In an effort to have these needs satisfied, many of us tend to
please others. And it works for a while. We find that we experience less conflict with
others, but the conflict within ourselves grows. Saying "no" produces a feeling of guilt
and saying "yes" brings anger.
My father was in the military, so we moved frequently. Being shy, I didn’t make
friends. What’s more, I grew up in a household where grades, image and how others saw
our family were very important. In our household a "C" was unacceptable, a "B" should
have been an "A" and an "A" meant the lesson was too easy. I was too skinny, my sister
was too fat and my brother’s lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.
To stop pleasing others is easier said than done. It’s a long process, one in which I
am consistently working to be perfect. The turning point for me came shortly after I got
married. The very first thing we did to end the cycle of catering to others was develop
our own identity as individuals and then as a couple. And then we developed a strong set
of core values and a vision for our future. The third and one of the most valuable things
we did during this process was developing our own personal influence on others and we
valued deeply the opinions of the wiser and more successful people around us.
Besides, we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts them. The
struggle is necessary for success. The struggle strengthens the character, making people
determined. So sometimes allowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for
them.
