8篇分类高考阅读理解及答案详解科普类Passage 1Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment(环境)friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass,paper,plastic,and metal containers are produced,and these are difficult to get rid of.However,today,more and more consumers are choosing“green”，and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product,they ask questions like these:“Will this shampoo damage the environment?”“Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it.This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are“green”,that is,friendly to the environment.Only a few years ago,it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets,but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing (生产) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize_it in their advertising.The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it,use it,throw it away, and forget it.”The public pressure is on,and gradually business is cleaning up its act.1.It becomes clear from the text that the driving force (动力) behind green products is_.A.public caring for the environment B.companies desire for bigger salesC.new ways of doing business D.rapid growth of supermarkets 2.What would be the best title for the text?A.Business and People B.Business Goes GreenC.Shopping Habits Are Changing D.Supermarkets and Green Products 3.The underlined word“it”in the fourth paragraph refers to_.A.a selling point B.the company nameC.a great demand for health foods D.the manufacturing of green products 2.新闻报道类Passage 2A newspaper in Helsinki,Finland,recently published a cartoon of a baby with a mobile phone,telling his parents that his diaper(尿布) needed changing.But its hardly a joke.Helsinki is home to Nokia,the mobilephone maker.Its one of the most “mobile”cities in the world.About 92 percent of its households have at least one mobile phone.And the kids start young.“A relatively normal age to get a mobile phone is now 7,”says Jan Virkki,marketing manager for a mobile phone company.Among the second graders at the Kulosaari Elementary School,the most popular object of desire this year is not a Barbie or a Gameboy.It is a Nokia mobile phone with a picture of their own choice on the screen.“One of the first things we discuss when school starts is the rules for mobile phones,”says Tiia Korppi,a teacher.Among the rules:You have to put it away out of sight.You cannot turn it on.You cannot send text messages to your friends,or play amusing tunes(令人发笑的曲调)in class,or call your parents or call for a pizza during history.1.The author uses the newspaper cartoon to show that _ .A.he is good at telling jokesB.he cares much for children C.mobile phones are toys for newborn babiesD.mobile phones are widely used in Finland2.The passage is mainly about_A.different uses of mobile phones B.a successful mobilephone maker C.effect of mobile phones on childrenD.school rules for the use of mobile phones 3 故事类 Passage 3New York, 10 November5:27pm,yesterday. Biggest power failure in the citys history. Thousands of people got stuck in lifts. Martin Saltzman spent three hours between the 21st and 22nd floors of the Empire State Building. “There were twelve of us. But no one panicked. We passed the time telling stories and playing word games. One man wanted to smoke but we didnt let him. Firemen finally got us out.”“It was the best night weve ever had,”said Angela Carraro,who runs an Italian restaurant on 42nd Street.“We had lots of candles on the tables and the waiters were carrying candles on their trays. The place was fulland all night, in fact, for after we had closed, we let the people stay on and spend the night here.”The zoos had their problems like everyone else. Keepers worked through the night. They used blankets to keep flying squirrels and small monkeys warm. While zoos had problems keeping warm, supermarkets had problems keeping cool.“All of our ice cream and frozen foods melted,” said the manager of a store in downtown Manhattan.“They were worth $50,000.” The big electric clock in the lobby(大厅)of the WaldorfAstoria Hotel in downtown Manhattan started ticking(滴答) again at 5:25 this morning.

I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourthso I decided that my approach must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?”“Twenty pounds,”I said. “OK,”he said. “Ill give you twenty pounds.”“Its got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, its nothing.”Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean?” “Youve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. I am sorry. Ill give you twentyseven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “Youre right,”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,Would you mend this chair for me?”“I wouldnt have agreed to do it,”he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But Ill mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused(感到有趣) by the whole thing.1.We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair 2.The underlined word “approach” in the second paragraph means _.A. plan for dealing with thingsB. decision to sell thingsC. idea of repairing thingsD. way of doing things 3.The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper _.A. changed his mind B. accepted the offerC. saw the writers purpose D. decided to help the writer 4. How much did the writer pay?A. 5. B. 7. C. 20. D. 27.5. From the text, we can learn that the writer was _.A. honest B. careful C. smart D. funny 科普类【解析】11.这是一道细节题。从第二段所讲述的越来越多的顾客选择“绿色”而要求他们所买的产品对环境是安全的，说明绿色产品的生产动力来自大众对环境的关心。答案为A。2.这是一道主旨题。通读全文可以看出，这篇短文主要讲述了产品的生产向绿色化转变。答案为B。 3.从第四段最后一句话可知it指的是manufacturing green products.答案为D。【解析】21.考查理解作者意图的能力。文章一开始作者提到一个婴儿手持手机的卡通形象，引出在芬兰手机使用广泛，孩子们很小就拥有手机这一事实。答案为D。 2.考查归纳主旨大意的能力。通篇文章叙述的是手机对孩子的影响。C是正确的。A选项文中未提及；B选项不是文章描写的重点；D只是文章第三段的主要内容，属细节。答案为C。【解析】31. 文中第二段说“There were twelve of us.But no one panicked,we passed the time elling stories and playing word games.”从此句中可以看出他们并不“panicked(惊慌)”，而且讲故事、玩字游戏，说明他们很镇静。答案为C。2. 第三段中说Angela Carrara是一个餐馆老板，停电的那天晚上，他家餐馆整晚爆满。“The place was fulland all night.”答案为C。3.这是一道时间推算题。从文中提供的线索，从“10 November527 pm，yesterday.Big gest power failure.”到“The big electric tickingstarted ticking again at 525 this morning”，可以算出答案为A。【解析】41.可用排除法，根据文意B、C很容易被排除，而A“作者很无礼”，并没有这样的提示，故答案为D。2.这是一道语意猜测题。根据上下文猜词义，作者前四次的境遇基本相同，当他走进第五个店时“I entered with a plan Would you like to buy a chair?”我们知道他这次改变了方法，不再说修理，而是问店主是否愿意买他的椅子，所以答案应该是D，“做事的方式”。3.这也是一道猜词义题，根据“the penny dropped”的前后店主所说的话“You must be crazy”，店主认为作者给他27磅买自己的椅子是不可理喻的，但是很快他又说“I know what you want.You want me to repair your chair.”表明他明白作者并不是真的自己掏钱买自己的椅子，而是希望他能帮他修理椅子，这才是他的目的。答案为C。4.这是一道细节题。fiver意思是五英镑钞票，文章倒数第二句说明作者须付五英镑的劳务费。答案为A。5.这是一道概括总结题。纵观全文，作者在前四次碰壁后，马上调整一下自己的行为方式，最终达到了自己的目的，说明他很聪明。答案为C。 .广告类Passage 1Many people imagine that Cover up means you dont get a tan.
