2026届高三英语二轮复习讲义：第3部分　语言运用精准篇　专题1　完形填空　类型2　体裁破解　第3讲　说明文

第3讲说明文●辨明题类说明文是以说明为主要表达方式，用来说明事物、阐明事理的一种文体。它通过揭示概念来说明事物的特征、本质及其规律性，给人准确的科学知识或传递某种思想。其基本模式是：观点—说明—总结。说明文要通读全文，明确作者是针对哪一个说明对象从不同的角度和侧面对其加以说明的。弄清说明顺序，把握作者态度。在说明的过程中作者会选择合理的说明顺序对说明对象进行有条不紊地解说。把握了说明顺序，就能准确把握文章的脉络，加深对整篇文章的理解。●技法点拨1．快速通读全文，明确作者从什么角度和侧面对哪一个说明对象进行说明的。2．把握每段的说明侧重点，厘清段落之间的逻辑关系，加深对说明对象的理解。3．清楚作者是按照时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑顺序还是认知顺序来展开说明的，进一步确定前后文的因果关系、先后主次、由此及彼、由浅入深、由局部到整体、由客观到本质等。4．抓住体现作者态度的关键词句，有利于掌握作者的写作情感和意图。●真题体验(2022·全国乙卷改编)Youngchildrenacrosstheglobeenjoyplayinggamesofhideandseek.Forthem,there'ssomethinghighlyexcitingabout1someoneelse'sglanceandmakingoneselfunabletobeseen.However,weallwitnessthatpreschoolchildrenareremarkably2athiding.Theyoftencoveronlytheireyeswiththeirhands,leavingtherestoftheirbodies3.Foralongtime,thisineffectivehidingmethodwas4asevidencethatchildrenarehopelessly“egocentric(自我中心的)”creatures.Butour5researchresultsinchilddevelopmentalpsychologycontradictedthatidea.Webroughtyoungchildrenaged2-4intoourMindsinDevelopmentLabatUSC.Each6satdownwithanadultwhocoveredherowneyesorears.Wethenaskedthechildifshecould7orheartheadult.Surprisingly,childrenrepliedthattheycouldn't.Thesame8happenedwhentheadultcoveredherownmouth:Nowchildrensaidthattheycouldn't9toher.Anumberof10ruledoutthatthechildrenmisunderstoodwhattheywerebeingasked.Theresultswereclear:Ouryoungsubjects11thequestionsandknewexactlywhatwasaskedofthem.Their12tothequestionsreflectedtheirtruebeliefthat“Icanseeyouonlyifyoucanseeme,too.”Theysimply13mutual(相互的)recognitionandregard.Our14suggestwhenachild“hides”byputtingablanketoverherhead,itisnotaresultofegocentrism.Infact,childrenconsiderthismethod15whenothersuseit.1．A．following

D．effective【解题示范】第一步：速读全文，从宏观上把握说明文的说明对象，弄清说明顺序，理清段落关系，把握写作意图，掌握文章大意1．文章主旨：文章主要通过实验证明孩子们捉迷藏时，只遮住自己的眼睛并不是自我中心主义的结果，而是孩子们坚持相互承认和尊重。2．说明对象：孩子们捉迷藏时，常常只遮住自己的眼睛而身体其他部位却暴露在外的现象。3．说明顺序：按照认知顺序展开说明。4．写作意图：通过实验说明孩子们捉迷藏时，只遮住自己的眼睛并不是自我中心主义的结果，而是孩子们坚持相互承认和尊重这一现象的本质。第二步：细读文章，从微观上破解三大层次题依据说明对象、说明顺序，理清逻辑关系，抓住关键词句，运用语言知识、文化背景、生活常识、上下文语境等作出选择。1．【句组层次】逻辑推理题。句意：对他们来说，避开别人的目光，让自己无法被别人看到，这是一件非常令人兴奋的事情。A.following跟随；B.taking取走；C.escaping避开；D.directing指导。根据上文“Youngchildrenacrosstheglobeenjoyplayinggamesofhideandseek.”可知，儿童喜欢玩捉迷藏，避开别人的目光。故选C。2．【句组层次】逻辑推理题。句意：然而，我们都看到学龄前儿童非常不善于隐藏。A.clever聪明的；B.bad不擅长的；C.scared害怕的；D.quick快的。根据下文“Theyoftencoveronlytheireyeswiththeirhands,leavingtherestoftheirbodies”可知，儿童不擅长隐藏，bebadatsth.为固定搭配，表示“不擅长某事”。故选B。3．【句内层次】逻辑推理题。句意：他们通常只用手遮住眼睛，其余的身体暴露在外。A.exposed无遮蔽的；B.examined已检查过的；C.untouched未受影响的；D.imbalanced失衡的。根据空前“Theyoftencoveronlytheireyeswiththeirhands,leavingtherestoftheirbodies”可知，儿童只是用手遮住了眼睛，身体的其余部分无遮蔽，是暴露在外的。故选A。4．【句内层次】逻辑推理题。句意：长期以来，这种无效的隐藏方法被解释为儿童是无可救药的“自我中心”生物的证据。A.supported支持；B.guaranteed保证；C.imagined想象；D.interpreted解释。根据“asevidencethatchildrenarehopelessly‘egocentric(自我中心的)’creatures”可知，此处表示这种无效的隐藏方法被解释为证据，证明儿童是以自我为中心的。故选D。5．【语篇层次】逻辑推理题。句意：但我们在儿童发展心理学方面令人惊讶的研究结果与这一观点相矛盾。A.disappointing令人失望的；B.mixed混合的；C.surprising令人惊讶的；D.desired渴望的。根据空后“researchresultsinchilddevelopmentalpsychologycontradictedthatidea”以及下文“Our14suggestwhenachild‘hides’byputtingablanketoverherhead,itisnotaresultofegocentrism.”可知，研究结果与之前的观点相矛盾，所以研究结果是令人惊讶的。故选C。6．【句组层次】逻辑推理题。句意：每个儿童都和一个成年人坐在一起，成年人遮住自己的眼睛或耳朵。A.parent父(母)亲；B.child儿童；C.researcher研究员；D.doctor医生。根据上文“Webroughtyoungchildrenaged2-4intoourMindsinDevelopmentLabatUSC.”可知，儿童参加实验，此处表示每个儿童和一个成年人坐在一起。故选B。7．【句组层次】逻辑推理题。句意：然后我们问儿童是否能看到或听到成年人的声音。A．see看见；B.help帮助；C.reach到达；D.fool欺骗。根据上文“anadultwhocoveredherowneyes”可知，成年人遮住了自己的眼睛，所以此处儿童被询问是否能看见成年人。故选A。8．【句内层次】逻辑推理题。句意：当成年人捂住她自己的嘴时，同样的事情发生了：此刻孩子们说他们不能和她说话。A.event大事；B.thing事情；C.action行动；D.accident事故。根据下文“childrensaidthattheycouldn't9toher”可知，此处表示同样的事情发生了，孩子们表示不能和捂住嘴的成年人说话了。故选B。9．【句内层次】生活常识题。句意：当成年人捂住她自己的嘴时，同样的事情发生了：此刻孩子们说他们不能和她说话。A.speak说；B.listen听；C.turn转；D.wave挥手。根据上文“whentheadultcoveredherownmouth”及常识可知，此处孩子们表示他们不能和成年人说话了。故选A。10．【语篇层次】词义辨析题。句意：许多实验排除了孩子们误解了他们被问到的问题。A.instructions命令；B.descriptions描述；C.experiments实验；D.assumptions假设。根据语境，此处表示上文中的许多实验排除了孩子们会误解问题这一情况。故选C。11．【句内层次】逻辑推理题。句意：结果很清楚：我们的年轻受试者理解了这些问题，并且确切地知道他们被问到了什么。A.comprehended理解；B.predicted预测；C.explored探索；D.ignored忽略。根据“thequestionsandknew11whatwasaskedofthem”可知，儿童理解了问题，并能确切地知道自己被问了什么。故选A。12．【句内层次】逻辑推理题。句意：他们对这些问题的回答反映了他们真正的看法：“只有你也能看到我，我才能看到你。”A.responses回答；B.approaches方法；C.contribution贡献；D.sensitivity敏感性。根据空后“tothequestions”可知，此处表示孩子们对于问题的回答。故选A。13．【句组层次】逻辑推理题。句意：他们只是坚持相互承认和尊重。A.holdback阻止；B.relateto有关联；C.insiston坚持；D.makeup弥补。根据上文“Icanseeyouonlyifyoucanseeme,too.”可知，孩子们的看法体现了他们坚持相互的承认和尊重。故选C。14．【语篇层次】逻辑推理题。句意：我们的研究结果表明，当孩子在头上盖一条毯子“隐藏”时，这并不是自我中心主义的结果。A.limitations限制；B.requirements必要条件；C.theories理论；D.findings调查发现。根据上文“Webroughtyoungchildrenaged2-4intoourMindsinDevelopmentLabatUSC.”可知，此处表示实验的研究结果表明孩子的“隐藏”并不是自我中心主义的结果。故选D。15．【句组层次】逻辑推理题。句意：事实上，当其他人使用这种方法时，孩子们认为它是有效的。A.tentative实验性的；B.impressive令人印象深刻的；C.creative创造性的；D.effective有效的。根据上文“Theysimply13mutual(相互的)recognitionandregard.”可知，孩子们坚持相互承认和尊重，所以当其他人使用这种方法时，孩子会认为它是有效的。故选D。第三步重读文章，从逻辑上修正错误初选之后，代入答案，把违背上下文逻辑关系的错误改正过来。A(2025·内蒙古赤峰市高三三模)YuKongjian,oneofChina'smostdistinguishedurbandesigners,canrememberthedayhenearlydiedintheriverattheageoftenwhenhewassweptintofloodwaters.1,banksofwillowsandreedsslowedtheriver's2,allowingYutograbthevegetationandpullhimselfout.Itwasa(n)3momentthatwouldimpactnotonlyYu'slife,buttherestofChinaaswell.HestudiedlandscapinginBeijinganddesignatHarvard,returningtoChinain1997.4byitsoutdatedbasicfacilities,he5anurbandesignphilosophybasedontraditionalChineseconcepts.Yu6thesponge(海绵)cityconceptofmanagingfloods.Unlikeconventionalfloodcontrol,Yu's7,inspiredbyancientChinesefarmingtechniques,emphasizes8rainfallandslowingdownsurfacerun-off(地表径流)．Thismethodnotonly9floodpressurebutalsocreatesgreenspaces,parks,andanimalhabitats,while10waterwithplantsremovingpollutingnutrients.In2015,theChinesegovernment11aplanandanambitiousgoal：By2030,80percentofChina'surbanareasmusthaveelementsofaspongecity,and12atleast70%ofrainfall.SomecitiesinSingapore,theUnitedStatesandRussiahavestartedemployingsimilar13.Thespongecityis14forusingnaturalprocessestosolvethecity'sproblems,saidsustainabledesignexpertDr.NirmalKishnani.“Wehavetofindourwaybacktoseeingourselvesasapartof15.”1．A．Gradually
