高考练场
题型简介1. 推理判断题是高考英语阅读理解中的重要题型,着重考查考生在理解文章字面意思的基础
上,对文章深层含义的推理和判断能力。它要求考生依据文章提供的信息,通过逻辑推
理、归纳总结、分析判断等思维过程,得出文章隐含的意义、作者的意图、观点态度等内
容。这种题型难度相对较高,因为答案不能直接从原文中获取,需要考生具备较强的综合
理解能力。
2. 文章题材广泛,无论是记叙文、说明文还是议论文都可能涉及推理判断题。考生需要在理
解文章主题、结构、细节等多方面内容的基础上进行推断。
命题类型
1. 推断隐含意义:这类题目要求考生从文章的字里行间推断出没有明确表述的深层含义。例
如,通过对人物的语言、行为和所处环境的描写,推断出人物的性格特征或潜在情感;或
者根据事件的发展,推测事件可能带来的潜在影响。通常提问方式有 “What can be
inferred from the passage about...?”“The passage implies that...”
2. 推断作者意图:主要是判断作者写这篇文章的目的,是为了提供信息(inform)、进行娱
乐(entertain)、表达观点(express opinions)、发出呼吁(appeal)还是其他意图。例
如,在一篇关于环保问题的文章中,作者可能是在呼吁人们关注环境,减少污染。提问方
式如 “What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?”“The author's intention is to...”
3. 推断观点态度:要求考生领会作者或文中人物对某一事物的看法或态度,这种态度可能是
积极的(positive)、消极的(negative)、中立的(neutral)、怀疑的(skeptical)等。例
如,通过分析作者在描述某个新科技产品时所使用的词汇,如 “remarkable”“ground -
breaking” 可能表示作者持积极态度;而 “problematic”“controversial” 可能暗示消极或质疑
的态度。提问方式有 “What's the author's attitude towards...?”“The tone of the passage can be
described as...”
4. 预测文章后续内容或事件发展趋势:根据文章已有的内容和情节发展,猜测接下来可能发
生的事情或者文章下一部分可能讨论的主题。比如,在一个故事的情节发展到主人公面临
一个艰难的抉择时,题目可能会问 “What's likely to happen next according to the passage?”
解题思路
5. 立足原文内容:推理判断必须以文章内容为依据,不能脱离原文进行主观臆断。仔细阅读
文章,理解文章的主题、结构和细节信息,找出与题目相关的关键部分。
6. 寻找线索和暗示:关注文章中的关键词、连接词、修辞手法等,这些可能是推理的重要线
索。例如,“however”“therefore” 等连接词可以帮助我们理解作者的思路和观点变化;比
喻、象征等修辞手法可能暗示作者的情感倾向。
7. 分析逻辑关系:考虑文章中的因果、对比、类比等逻辑关系。如果文章提到某种现象是由
某个原因引起的,那么在推理时可以依据这个因果关系进行推断;如果是对比不同事物的
特点,就可以从对比中得出对这些事物的评价。
8. 排除干扰选项:对于不符合原文逻辑和信息的选项要果断排除。有些选项可能本身内容正
确,但与题目要求的推理判断无关;有些选项可能是过度推断,超出了原文所提供的范围。
命题方式
【常见考法】推理题经常使用的提问方式有:
It can be inferred/ concluded that _________.
Which of the following conclusions can we draw according to the passage?
In which of the following publication would this passage most likely be printed?
The passage implies, but doesn’t directly state that _________.
The writer suggests that _________.
What’s the author’s attitude toward _________?
The writer probably feels that _________.
The author uses the examples of... to show that _________.
除此之外,还要注意几个误区:
原文信息的简单重复,并不是推断出来的结论。
文中无关紧要或片面推出的结论。
①
与文章内容不符的推论或相反的推论。
②
不合常理或不合逻辑的推论。
③
虽然符合考生的常识,但文中并没有支撑的依据。
④
⑤
题型01 细节推断题
要求考生根据语篇关系,推断具体细节,如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件等。一般可根据
短文提供的信息,或者借助生活常识进行推理判定。考生只有正确把握文章的内在关系,理解文章的真正
含义,才可能作出准确的推断。一般题干主要包括六个动词:infer(推断),indicate(象征,暗示),
imply(暗示),suggest(暗示),conclude(作出结论)和assume(假定,设想)。

Think of a typical college physics course: notetaking, homework struggles and studying for difficult exams.
Now imagine access to a tutor (导师) who answers questions at any hour, never tires and never judges. Might you
learn more? The AI-supported tutor is surprisingly more effective. That’s the unexpected conclusion from a
Harvard
study examining learning outcomes for students in a large physics course.
..........
“We went into the study curious about whether our AI tutor could be as effective as in-person instructors,”
Kestin said. “I certainly didn’t expect students to find the AI-powered lesson more engaging. But that’s exactly
what happened: Not only did the AI tutor seem to help students learn more materials, the students also self-
reported more engagement when working with AI.”
.........
9. What did Kestin most probably think of their findings?
A. Valueless. B. Doubtful. C. Confusing. D. Surprising.

Two years after ChatGPT took the world by storm, generative artificial intelligence seems to have hit a
bottleneck. The costs of building and using larger AI models are rising sharply, and breakthroughs seem to be
becoming increasingly difficult.
Currently, the development of AI has entered a difficult period. Researchers and entrepreneurs are competing
to find ways to change the current situation. Their creativity will not only transform AI but also determine which
companies will succeed, whether investors can make profits, and which country will be best able to seize the
bonus brought by this technology.
..........
However, there is no need to panic. Many technologies have hit bottlenecks before but eventually continued
to thrive thanks to human creativity. The oil price shocks in the 1970s encouraged energy efficiency and
alternative methods, including nuclear power generation, developed well in some countries. Thirty years later,
fracturing technology made the extraction of oil and natural gas more economically sustainable.
29. How is paragraph 5 mainly developed?
A. By illustrating results. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparison. D. By listing figures.

Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our
phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a
three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco
Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like
short story.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched
last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to
artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120
submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short
stories save transit?
Trost thinks so.“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider
experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
4. Why did BART start the kiosk program?
A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use.
C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs.

(2024年新课标高考英语I卷B篇)
“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am
ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally
laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing
number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine – combining traditional Western
treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became
interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-
relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that
he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients.
So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she
was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to
keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more
easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication,
he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown
from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an
animal. That’s my job.”
25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?
A. He was trained in it at university.
B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C. He benefited from it as a patient.
D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.
27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?
A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance.
C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection.
题型03 人物态度及观点判断题
(2024年新课标高考英语甲卷C篇)The Saint Lukas train doesn’t accept passengers—it accepts only the sick. The Saint Lukas is one of five
government-sponsored medical trains that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia. Each stop lasts an
average of two days, and during that time the doctors and nurses on board provide rural(乡村)populations with
basic medical care, X-ray scans and prescriptions.
“People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morning,” says Emile Ducke, a German
photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint Lukas for a two-week trip in November through the vast
regions(区域)of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia.
Russia’s public health care service has been in serious need of modernization. The government has struggled
to come up with measures to address the problem, particularly in the poorer, rural areas east of the Volga River,
including arranging doctor’s appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors
to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk.
The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve the situation. For 10 months every year,
the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks, before returning to the regional capital to refuel and
restock(补给). Then it starts all over again the next month. Most stations wait about a year between visits.
Doctors see up to 150 patients every day. The train’s equipment allows for basic checkups. “I was very impressed
by the doctors and their assistants working and living in such little space but still staying focused and
very concerned,” says Ducke. “They were the best chance for many rural people to get the treatment they
want. ”
11. What is Ducke’s attitude toward the Saint Lukas’ services?
A. Appreciative. B. Doubtful C. Ambiguous. D. Cautious.
题型04 猜测想象推理题
(2024年新高考II卷C篇)
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 orview 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.
31. 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.

(2024年新课标高考英语II卷D篇)
Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-
powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This
absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the
forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that
powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady
into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic,
making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost
as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving
from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says,
will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its
future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we
keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they
are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history
and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future
with Al to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness
rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To recommend a book on AI. B. To give a brief account of AI history.
C. To clarify the definition of AI. D. To honor an outstanding AI expert.A
(24-25高三上·江苏南京·阶段练习)Poems for high schoolers
If
The poem is written by Rudyard Kipling. In this poem, a father talks of several values and advises his son to live
with moderation and constraint (克制) to continuously maintain calm and avoid overreacting. The poem is full of
positivity for personal growth in difficult times. Anyone struggling with a lack of desire in life can still benefit
from it.
The Laughing Heart
The poem advises readers to take control of their own life and make the most of their time. At the beginning of the
poem, Charles Bukowski talks about how one shouldn’t let others take their “light” out of them. Bukowski says
that once you begin to show up for your own life, “amazing” things will begin to happen to you. The Laughing
Heart, which focuses on risk and making decisions in life, is attractive to youth as it serves as an encouragement
to them to stand up for themselves in difficult times.
Fifth Grade Autobiography
Through the poem, Rita Dove discusses the good memories of her most significant life influences as a child. By
using language and pictures, she recalls how great and significant her family is as she looks at a photograph. Based
on Dove’s poetry, an excellent activity would be to ask children to select a photo that’s significant to them and
write their own Fifth Grade Autobiography.
The Rose That Grew From Concrete
The poem is about achieving our life goals despite the challenges we experience along the road. In this
poem, Tupac Shakur compares himself to a neglected rose who went from being a marginalized (被边缘化的)
teenager to one of the most influential singers the world has ever known. The poem will inspire readers to focus
and realize their dreams.
1.What is the Rudyard Kipling’s poem about?
A.Difficulties in life. B.Teenager education.
C.Emotional expression. D.Parental advice.
2.How does the poet start The Laughing Heart?

B.They are based on the poets’ own life.
C.They are about important life skills.
D.They stress the importance of dreams.B
(2024·浙江绍兴·一模)On Dec. 26, Gelinne, 60, was gazing out his back windows of his home in
Maryland, at frozen Beards Creek when he spotted a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude.
As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander, realized it was going to
land in the creek (小海湾). He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept.11, 2001, he was at
work when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could
have stayed inside and helped.
On this day, he didn’t hesitate. Racing down to the waterfront, he saw the plane had slid to a stop on the
broad, frozen creek, far from the shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew that
the icy water could kill the pilot.
Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So, he rushed back
and swiftly pulled out a kayak (橡皮船) from his back deck.
He set off. His initial attempts left him circling on the spot. But with some muscle, he made progress. It was
physically-demanding work. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was
standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest. Gelinne edged his kayak off the ice and into the water,
paddling toward the pilot. To keep the pilot calm, he joked, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your
wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water immediately. But
all their desperate attempts ended in failure.
By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the Maryland Department of Natural
Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot, Steve Couchman, 71, and rushed him
to safety; he would be treated for minor injuries.
Rescue had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old. There was no way I could get him to
shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day.
4.What happened to the small aircraft?
A.It ran out of fuel. B.It sank into the icy water.
C.It flew off the course. D.It was attacked by terrorists.
5.Why did Gelinne set out to help without hesitation?
A.To make up for regret. B.To carry out his mission.
C.To earn others’ respect. D.To demonstrate his power.
6.Which word best describes the situation the pilot was in?
A.Favorable. B.Life-changing.
C.One-sided. D.Critical.
7.What is the best title for the story?
A.Dragging the Pilot B.Braving the Elements
C.Seizing the Chance D.Fighting the Currents

(2024·湖南长沙·模拟预测)Artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated competence across various
sectors, but matching human creativity remains hard to achieve. However, companies like StoryFit are using AI ina much novel way.
Initially, Monica Landers, founder and CEO of StoryFit, used AI technology to aid publishers in narrowing
down their “slush piles (手稿集合)” to a shortlist of promising books. However, StoryFit found the publishing
industry’s growth potential insufficient and targeted the film industry instead. Consequently, it has become the
force behind several successful films and TV series in recent years.
Primarily, StoryFit analyzes a script’s marketability, assessing where a story fits with the audience and how
each storytelling element resonates. The film industry is high-risk, with considerable investments required before
generating returns. StoryFit provides data on whether those risks are likely to be fruitful. StoryFit’s AI technology
checks character traits (特点) to evaluate audience responses, determining how heroic or relatable a main
character might be. This information allows creative professionals to identify potential character imbalances. As
film lovers, the StoryFit team often applies their technology to beloved TV series.
Story Fit analyzes audience connections to the storyline, offering insights into aspects such as the
audience’s emotional journey throughout an episode or the impact of a favorite character’s departure. The
company also reports on plot inconsistencies, such as characters behaving inconsistently with their established
traits or disappearing from the storyline. Nevertheless, Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw insights from
the data rather than comment on the script. She stated, “You have people whose whole careers are based on
making those decisions. But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or
not happening in the script.”
Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry demonstrates artificial intelligence’s potential to
enhance storytelling. As the technology advances, its impact on the film industry will only grow, paving the way
for more engaging and resonant cinematic experiences.

D(24-25高三上·湖北·阶段练习)Science should guide policy, but caution is needed when technologies
like CRISPR have the potential to exclude rather than assist people to live their lives.
CRISPR can be used to treat disease. Yet the far-reaching, more worrying promise of this technology —
one about which scientists seem at once excited and cautious — lies in its ability to eliminate from the gene pool
what medical science identifies as faulty or abnormal genes that cause difference in individual people. Certainly,
goes the logic of CRISPR’s promise, the goal of ridding future generations of terrible diseases that cause suffering
and death and exhaust resources, seems an unquestionable enterprise.
This logic is consistent with wider societal views. The idea that ridding society of genetic differences that
count as defect is an undeniable “good” continues to be pervasive. Editing out a gene-linked condition, supporters
may argue, is different from editing out a person, and curing disease is a good thing. But our genetic conditions are
not simply entities that can be clipped away from us and our genetic conditions form a fundamental part of who
we are.
Using genome manipulation tools and performing genetic selection is equal to a new form of eugenic
thinking grounded in what the communications studies scholar James L. Chemey calls “common sense” ableism, a
belief system that allows people to simultaneously deny any commitment to distasteful eugenic principles while
also holding them up. Ultimately, “common sense” ableism embodies a similar goal of cleansing unacceptable
human variations that the campaigns to eliminate the supposedly inferior have held in the past.
People with “bad” genes shouldn’t be edited out of existence in some version of a utopian future.
Evaluating the quality of life of another person is morally questionable in a society based on the concept that all
people are of equal value regardless of their individual differences.
Expanding diversity in all its forms, including disability, strengthens the human community ethically and
biologically because it opens the public and private sphere to a variety of perspectives, experiences and ideas to
live together with mutual flourishing.
Genome editing is powerful in reshaping medical treatments, but it can also be harmful by editing out the
kinds of people that medical science, and the society it has shaped, categorize as diseased or genetically
contaminated — people who are understood as having bad genes. We should be reminded that bad genes don’t
necessarily lead to bad lives, just as good genes don’t necessarily lead to good lives. If CRISPR is put to use to
eliminate rather than to treat genetic difference, we as a society would essentially instrumentalize this moralistic
and reductionist assumption.
12.According to the passage, which of the following best describes the author’s view on the use of CRISPR to
eliminate genetic defects?
A.The author fully supports the use of CRISPR for the betterment of human health.
B.The author is concerned about the potential misuse of CRISPR to exclude individuals with genetic
differences.
C.The author believes that CRISPR should only be used for treating severe diseases with clear genetic
causes.
D.The author argues that CRISPR technology is inherently flawed and should not be used at all.
13.What can be inferred from the author’s discussion about “common sense” ableism?
A.The author believes that ableism is a rational approach to genetic diversity.
B.The author suggests that “common sense” ableism is a subtle form of discrimination that is widelyaccepted.
C.The author thinks that “common sense” ableism is a new concept introduced by James L. Chemey.
D.The author argues that “common sense” ableism is a positive development in the field of genetics.
14.The author employs the term “utopian future” to describe a society that edits out “bad” genes. What is the
rhetorical effect of this term?
A.It evokes a sense of idealism and progress in genetic engineering.
B.It highlights the potential dangers of overreaching in genetic modification.
C.It suggests that such a future is impossible and therefore not worth discussing.
D.It emphasizes the author’s support for a future free of genetic diseases.
15.What is the main argument of the passage?
A.CRISPR technology has the potential to cause more harm than good if not used cautiously.
B.Genetic diversity should be preserved because it enriches society ethically and biologically.
C.The societal view that genetic defects should be eliminated is morally and ethically flawed.
D.The use of CRISPR to treat diseases is a clear and unquestionable good.
