江西进贤县2020高考英语阅读理解【二轮】精练选编（4）2020高考训练-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Many people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “ people person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Crucially(至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.5.When it comes to going to college the author thinks _.A. financial situation is the first to consider B. students are unwilling to leave their homeC. students will become homesick D. students are eager to attend their ideal university6.What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Students can be independent at college. B. A long distance will make students upset.C. The location of the college is a main factor. D. The climate must be taken into consideration.7.What does the underlined part “ people person” in the passage mean?A. A person of great capacity. B. A very particular person.C. A very sociable person. D. A person of great importance.8.Which is the most important factor when choosing a college?A. The location of a college. B. The examination result.C. School size. D. The coming challenges.参考答案5-8 ACCB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia.I was looking forward to having five days off from duty.Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left.So I thought Id hitch a ride (搭便车)I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me.Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon.He said that although he couldnt give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch.He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry.I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured(使放心) me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards.When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches.After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twentyfive years later, in 2020, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride.I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour Id been given decades earlier.I pulled over and picked him up.I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You havent changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”I couldnt remember where Id met him.He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago.It was Gordon.50The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because _Aher work delayed her trip to SydneyBshe was going home for her holidaysCthe town was far away from SydneyDshe missed the only train back home51Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?AHe helped the girl find a ride.BHe gave the girl a ride back home.CHe bought sandwiches for the girl.DHe watched the girl for three hours.52The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that _Ashe realized he was GordonBshe had known him for decadesCshe was going to the nearby townDshe wanted to repay the favour she once got53What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?AGiving sometimes produces nice results.BThose who give rides will be repaid.CGood manners bring about happiness.DPeople should offer free rides to others.【要点综述】 俗话说：好心有好报。本文讲的是一个人在25年前帮助过别人，而25年后他又得到了那位受助者的帮助。50D细节理解题。由第一段的最后两句可知，作者站在路边搭便车的原因是：通往她家唯一一趟列车已经开走了，选D。51A推理判断题。根据第二段的最后一句可知，Gordon帮助作者搭上了顺风车回家，而其他三个选项文中并未提及。52D细节理解题。由第三段中的“I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour Id been given decades earlier.”可知选D。53A作者意图题。本文作者的写作目的就是想要告诉读者一个道理：给予有时会产生很美好的结果，选A。阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。As children reach kindergarten and early grade-school age, they continue to become increasingly more aware of the wider world beyond home, school and their neighborhood. If you havent already done so, this can be an excellent time to teach your child about the environment, and how you can work together to go green as a family. If youve already introduced some eco-friendly habits in your home, here are some ways your growing child can contribute more to the greening of his world and beyond.My 7-year-old son discovered a magazine cover on the table that featured a cover line about polar bears being endangered because of global warming. I decided to be straight with himI said yes, there is a danger to polar bears and other wildlife because of pollution. But I told him that we can all do something to go green and help make a difference, and perhaps help the polar bears and all living things on our planet.My grandmothers were immigrants(移民)who lived through wars in South Korea. They used to constantly remind me to turn off the lights, and even not to use too much toilet paper. As it turns out, these were great lessons. Have your child get into the habit of turning off lights and electronic equipment when hes not using them. A nice bonus(意外收获): reducing electricity use can help cut down your bills. A grade-schooler is old enough to understand that water comes from lakes and pools. Explain that wasting it can affect everyone who depends on that water. Wasting water also means wasting energy. A tap that runs for five minutes is equal to letting a 60-watt bulb run for 14 hours, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.Make it easier for your grade-schooler to go green by choosing different baskets for glass, metal, paper, and plastic. Have your child draw pictures of recyclable types to mark each basket. Once a season or more, have your child help you look for used clothing, books, toys and other things around the house to give away to local shelters(避难所).【文章大意】本文作者以自己的亲身经历告诉其他母亲应该如何在生活中帮助孩子变得更有环保意识, 让他们从小就有保护环境的观念。1. The underlined word“contribute”in Paragraph 1 means.A. buyB. useC. giveD. find【解析】选C。词义猜测题。由于本句里的introduced说明如果你已经介绍给孩子一些环保习惯了, 而且在接下来的三个段落中作者本人又给出一些关于绿色生活的建议。所以这里的contribute的意思是“给出”。2. What makes polar bears in danger according to the passage?A. The global warming at present and in future.B. The pollution of the air in developed countries.C. The loss of the forest all over the world at present.D. The hunt for them by people from across the world.【解析】选A。细节理解题。第二段第一句里的being endangered because of global warming是本题的解题线索。需注意的是B选项, 虽然第二段说到了污染危及一些野生动物的生存, 但并不是针对空气污染而言, 所以不能选B。3. What does the author learn from her grandmothers?A. Make peace with any other country.B. Not moving to other foreign countries.C. Turn off the lights and the water to go green.D. Live a simple life without spending too much.【解析】选C。推理判断题。第三段作者提到了自己的祖母和外祖母经历过战争后尤其重视节省, 本段的第二句话是解题线索, 第三、四句是作者的体会和经验, 第五句开始给出了自己也身体力行的理由, 所以答案选C。但是注意D项虽然不错, 但是和第二句作者的祖母和外祖母的要求相比, 没有确切说明为了环保而做的具体措施, 所以不能选。4. What is the best title of the passage?A. Ways to Help Your Child Make Money.B. Ways to Help Your Child Go Green.C. Setting up a Recycling Centre for Your House.D. Setting up Eco-friendly Habits Is Necessary.【解析】选B。主旨大意题。首先要明确这篇文章的作者是一个母亲, 她在以自己的经历告诉别的母亲应该帮助自己的孩子更环保, 所以选项里的关键词是child和green。【技法导练】多学一点棋高一着阅读理解“圈点信息”的细节理解题细节理解, 就是在原文中能找到的信息, 可以采用“圈点信息”法, 把涉及的信息“圈点”出来, 以便分析利用。做细节理解题时, 可使用如下方法:1. 细心审题, 带问题“圈”答案。先从问题中抓住关键性词语(题眼), 然后以此为线索, 运用略读及跳读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的段落、语句, 仔细品味, 对照比较, 确定答案。2. 变通理解, 间接转述“圈”答案。高考设题常对原句细微处进行改动, 选取原文词语或结构进行改造, 因果倒置, 把A的观点说成B的观点等。所以正确理解题干和信息句的意义是关键。3. 多点归纳, 综合事实“圈”答案。全面捕捉相关信息, 进行综合分析、归纳, 切忌根据“一面之词”草率地得出结论。上篇文章中的第2题为细节理解题。审题发现此题要求寻找_, 这样带着这个问题去原文中“圈点信息”就可以发现“_”为原因, 由此可以找到答案。答案: 造成北极熊濒临危险的原因 全球变暖阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。(2020天津，C)Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. Theyd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waisthigh grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识)We eventually arrived at my parents doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journeyand the best part of yourself.文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文，因为旅途中要照料刚出生的小羊羔，所以作者不得不选择绕行路，作者发现绕行路增添
