　　高考英语阅读文章篇一：交友
　　Many of us mistakenly believe that it's wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed(有缺陷)?

　　If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.

　　Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some o f the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.

　　You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior(自卑) because you don't have much money and you don't drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don't have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes yo u as a person.

　　The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.

　　36. According to the author ___________ plays an important role in making friends.

　　【答案】A

　　【解析】细节理解题。根据The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.既然找到了交不上朋友的原因 ，那么就应该找出自己的好的品质，下面就应该写如何找到自己好的品质，故选A。
　　高考英语阅读文章篇二：太阳能
　　Sunny countries are often poor. A shame, then, that solar power is still quite expensive. Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to get round this. In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity, a battery that can deliver a three amp(安培) current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light-emitting diode(二极管). The firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to light two small rooms and to power a mobile-phone charger for seven hours. Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.

　　The trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the system's keeper must buy a scratch card—for as little as a dollar—on which is printed a reference number. The keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the household solar unit, by SMS to Eight19. The company's server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit.

　　Users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. In fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. After buying around $80 worth of scratch cards—which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 m onths—the user will own it. He will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10-watt solar cell.

　　In that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a slightly higher rate. Users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably.

　　According to Eight19's figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around $10 a month on oil—enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps—plus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of one of Eight19's basic solar units will spend around half tha t, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar tech nology falls, it should get even cheaper.

　　41. The underlined word “get round” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _______ .

　　A. make use of B. come up with C. look into D. deal with

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】词义猜测题。make use of利用; come up with想出; look into调查; deal with处理。根据solar power is still quite expensive及Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to因为太阳能仍然很贵，所以Eight19发明了一个新的 方法 来解决这个问题，故选D。

　　42. What should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up?

　　A. Buy a scratch card.

　　B. Recharge it outside.

　　C. Buy another solar cell.

　　D. Return it to the company.

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.可知没有电了，你可以把它放在外面重新充电，故选A。

　　43. How much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a 2.5-watt solar cell?

　　A. Around $10. B. Around $80. C. Around $90. D. Around $180.

　　【答案】C

　　【解析】细节理解题。根据文章1,3段After buying around $80 worth of scratch cards—which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 months—the user will own it. 和In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity可知在你拥有这些之前，你要花费90元。故选C。

　　44. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________ __.

　　A. Kenyan families would find it difficult to afford the solar cell

　　B. using the solar cell would help Kenyan families save money

　　C. few Kenyan families use mobile phones for lack of electricity

　　D. the company will make a great profit from selling solar cells

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around $10 a month on oil—enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps—plus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of one of Eight19's basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper.可知这样做会让太阳能的成本降低，会给肯尼亚的人来到好处。故选B。

　　45. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Solar Energy: Starting from Scratch.

　　B. Eight19: a creative British Company.

　　C. Kenyan Families: Using Solar Energy for Free.

　　D. Poor Countries: Beginning to Use Solar Ene rgy

　　【答案】A

　　【解析】标题归纳题。根据文章主题段第一段内容可知本文讲述的是Eight19,这家英国的公司所采用的使用太阳能的一种新的方法，故选A。
　　高考英语阅读文章篇三：加薪
　　While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.

　　The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal(一向节俭的)Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!

　　Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!

　　Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.

　　After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”

　　Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.

　　The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.

　　31. What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?

　　A. To request a wage increase from his boss.

　　B. To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.

　　C. To celebrate his success with his wife at home.

　　D. To ask his boss to come for dinner.

　　【答案】A

　　【解析】细节理解题。由“he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise.”可知他打算要求老板给他加薪。故选A。

　　32. On his way back home, Andrew _________.

　　A. felt weak in the knees

　　B. was punished by the traffic policeman

　　C. was too anxious to share the news

　　D. couldn’t wait to enjoy a meal

　　【答案】C

　　【解析】细节理解题。由“Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits”中“尽管超出了城市及国家的最高车速”可 知Andrew车开的很快，说明他很急切地回家去分享这个好消息。故选C。

　　33. Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE?

　　A. Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster.

　　B. Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the company.

　　C. Andrew’s boss agreed to his request.

　　D. One of Andrew’s colleagues had told his wife the good news.

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】推理判断题。第五段“a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor.”提到妻子还写了一封信。根据后面信的内容，妻子不知道他加薪的要求是否取得了老板的同意而准备了两封信。所以没有人告诉他妻子这个好消息。故选D。

　　34. Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day?

　　A. She was confident of his getting a pay raise.

　　B. She meant to show her support whatever the result would be.

　　C. She believed t hat her husband was the best in his company.

　　D. She wanted to express her gratitude for his devoti on to the family.

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】细节理解题。“Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work. ”说明Tina对他的支持不是基于他在工作上的成功。无论结果如何她都会支持他。故选B。

　　35. We can conclude from the text that ______.

　　A. we should never be afraid to ask for what is due to us

　　B. work hard and you will be rewarded

　　C. many fears turn out to be unfounded

　　D. unconditional love brin gs courage and strength

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】推理判断题。最后一句“we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our su ccess or failure.”说明无条件的爱带来勇气和力量。

高考英语阅读文章的文体分类

一、英语阅读文体类型简析

高考英语阅读常见的文体类型有：记叙文、议论文、说明文和应用文。

[1]记叙文。

英语记叙文以描写叙述为主，主要描写人物、事件、地点、或过程。特点是，其主题往往潜伏在字里行间，没有直接地表白出来;文章主旨要透过体察所揭示的人物、事件来进行提炼。描写手法大多按时间跨度、空间顺序、上下顺序来展开。阅读记叙文体应采取略读和扫读的方法，快速抓住文中描写的主要内容，从整体上去把握文章的连贯性，进而大体上揣测出作者的写作意图及情感主线。高考阅读就记叙文设题大多以细节理解为主。

[2]议论文。

英语议论文通常为三段式，即“论点、论据、结论”三部份组成。首先借助某一现象引出论点，然后通过一定论据从各个层面上加以推理论证，最后得出结论。议论文体主要考查学生对论点及论据的把握。因此，遇到议论文体时，应采取抓主题句的方法来把握文章主旨，弄清作者的观点。一般来说，作者的论点通常在文章首段被引出，接着是对这一论点的逻辑推理和论证，最后为结论。还应注意的是：在对论点论证的过程中，每一段的首句都是该段的主题句。把握全文论点、弄清论证各段的主题句、理解文章层次、找出中心论点的位置是理解议论文的关键。

就议论文而言，其论证的常见结构方式有：

1，总分式 总---分;分----总;总----分---总;

2，并列式 几个论据之间属于平等关系;

3，递进式 几个论据之间属于递进关系;

4，对照式 把两种事物加以对比，以彰显其中一种。

[3]说明文。

英语说明文的总体结构通常为三部份，说明对象、说明过程和归纳总结。常见的说明方法：

1，定义与诠释说明;

2，举例与引用说明;

3，分类与图表说明;

4，比较与比喻说明;

5，分析与综合说明;

就高考英语说明文的阅读而言，首先要抓住文章说明的要点，也就是要抓住被说明对象的实质性特征;弄清作者从哪个角度、哪个层面开始说明;并明白文章最后的说明结论。高考说明文阅读材料通常介绍最新科技、重大成就、生活时尚、流行现象等。了解说明文的写作手法、说明方法，理清短文结构及段落中心思想是答题关键。

[4]应用文。

英语应用文属于实用型文体，如书信、通知、日记、广告等。应用文阅读要注意文中具体细节的把握与理解，弄清作者所传达的实际信息及表达的具体内容。阅读时采取速读与精读相结合的方法，力求快速精确地查出试题所设置的关键内容。

二、英语阅读理解答题技巧

高考阅读理解常见的设题形式有：词义猜测题、主旨大意题、细节理解题、推理题和推断题。题型不同，答题技巧也就有差异。下面就不同题型的答题技巧作一点简分析。

1、词义猜测技巧。

这种题型要求对文章中的划线生词进行词义猜测。这类题型不仅要求具备一定构词法，而且也要求对上下文具有比较全面的理解。做词意猜测时，应注意划线生词后面的定语从句、同位语从句。定语从句、同位语从句通常用来解释生词的词意。另外，还要应注意生词后的标点符号，如逗号、破折号、引号、括号都可用于提示词意。有时，词意隐藏在全文或某一段中，这就需要把握文段的意境来加以透知该词的含义。

2、抓主旨大意的技巧。

一般来说，议论文的主旨大意要么在首段，要么在尾段。文章主旨位于首段时，其后的段落通常是演绎论证的过程;在段尾时，其前的段落通常是在摆事实、讲道理，最后归纳出全文主旨。说明文的主旨也通常位于首段;记叙文的主旨有的位于开首段(如新闻报道、时事经纬等文章的主旨均置于开场白的位置，达到开门见山、直奔主题的效果)，但大多数记叙文的主旨隐藏在文章之中，需理清文章脉络，挖掘文章内涵，把握作者意图。

3、推断题型答题技巧。

推理是在既有信息的基础上得出合乎文章内容的内涵意义，即某一问题、某一观点没有直接表述，而寓意在文章的字里行间，要求通过文中信息分析推出某种符合作者思想、符合文章逻辑的内涵意义。推断则是指通过对文章进行符合逻辑的综合分析，推出文章未直接陈述的言外之意。推断题推断得正确与否，很大程度上取决于是否能正确把握作者潜隐在字里行间的语气及观点。

4、细节题型的答题技巧。

细节题型的解答通常是借助对文中的具体信息的`查寻来解决。答题时要采取略读、扫读、析读和精读的办法从文中找出问题答案。细节题型多问及时间、地点、人物、数量和特征等。

拓展阅读：

一、阅读的方法可以使用以下几种：

（1）跳读：就是快速的一步阅读法。实际上是有选择阅读，找关键词。用这种阅读方法回答who、what、when、where之类的问题最为有效。

（2）略读：指比跳读慢些的二步阅读法。即泛泛地、粗略地快速阅读，目的是了解大意，对文章有个总的概念。此种阅读方法能回答why、how之类的问题。

（3）精读：即最细致、最慢的深层阅读方法，目的是求得对所读文章的全部意义的理解与掌握。

2、在使用阅读技巧时尽量做到以下几点：

（1）带着问题阅读短文。

（2）找出主题句、确定中心思想。

（3）推断单词、句子和文章的含义。

（4）尽快选择答案。

二、不同体裁文章的'特点

1、记叙文

记叙文又可分传记类和故事类。

传记类文章在阅读中时间是全文的关键，根据时间我们可以找到相关的事件，抓住文章的主要内容。

故事类文章情节性较强，阅读时要注意故事中的时间、地点、人物和发生的事件，这些都是文章中的主要内容和信息，对于准确理解文章十分重要。

2、说明文

说明文是对事物的形状、性质、特征、成果或功用等进行介绍，解释或阐述的文章。把握所说明事物的特征和本质是理解说明文的关键。说明事物特征的方法很多，主要有定义法、解释法、比较法、比喻法、数字法、图表法、引用法和举例法等。

（1）数字说明文

在阅读数字说明文时要特别注意文中数字的含义，从这些数字中可以找到文章的主要内容。

（2）解释说明文

解释说明文着重说明事物的本质、特征和功用等。许多科普文章都属于这一类。在阅读这类文章时要学会解决what, how, why 等一类的问题。它们是文章的关键。如能带着这些问题阅读，将会更迅速抓住文章的主题。

（3）比较说明文

比较说明文是通过对比方法说明问题。在阅读这类文章时要善于把握全篇陈述的基本倾向。作者在谈论一个有争议的问题时总要顾及到争议的各个方面。但是，在一般情况下，作者的陈述总要倾向于某一种观点。

3、应用文

应用文涉及的范围比较广，包括广告、通知、书信等。应用文一般语言简洁，省略及不规范的句子较多。阅读时一般要求考生全面掌握文章中提供的信息，并运用这些信息去解决问题。因此对题干的理解尤为重要。

阅读理解的考题分为客观理解题(是指在短文中客观存在的事实，客观信息的答案一般都可以在原文中找到。即理解文中的具体事实或抽象概念)和主观理解题(这类问题都不可能直接从原文中找到答案，须通过阅读文章对文章主旨和深层含义有更深理解，并据此进行判断和推理)。

其中细节理解题和猜测词义题属于客观题；主旨大意题和推理判断题属于主观题。

针对不同类型的题目，要在平时的练习过程中，结合具体的题目，给学生进行解题方法的指导和讲解。对于客观题，要提醒他们阅读时关注文章的细节，如时间，地点或一些具体数字，在选择答案时，务必从原文中找到确切的依据。

Why do we have in a camera a lens(镜头)instead of a simple hole?

The reason can be seen from the figures(图像).

In Figure 1, the hole is small. Rays of light from a point (P1)outside reach a very small part of the wall opposite, and we see there a small point. But when the hole is bigger, as in Figure 2, rays from the point(P2)can cover a larger part of the wall opposite, and we don’t see a clear point, Rays from other points(Q) outside can also fall on the same place inside. Therefore the picture is not clear when the hole is big and it is not bright when the hole is small because very very little light can pass through it.. We can get better result with a lens. If the lens is made in the shape shown in Figure 3, all the rays of light from the point(P3) are thrown on point(P’) inside. The picture which we see, therefore, is clear, and it is also bright because more light can pass through a lens than through a small hole.

1. In Figure 1 we see a faint small point on the wall because .

A. the point(P1) is very small B. the hole isn’t big enough

C. light rays don’t travel in straight lines D. light rays can’t pass through a small hole

2. Figure 2 shows that the bigger the hole is, .

A. the more light can pass through B. the clearer the picture will be

C. the better result we will get D. the faster the light rays travel

3. From figure 3, we can see a lens .

A. can form a clear picture B. can make light go in a straight line

C. can help light rays to go faster D. cannot give the picture more light than in Fig. 2

4. The main idea of the second paragraph of the article is that .

A. a smaller hole is better than a bigger one

B. big holes are better than small ones

C. both a big hole and a small one have their weak points

D. light rays are sure to pass through a hole no matter it is big or small

5. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Light can go through all kinds of materials

B. A camera can’t be made without a lens

C. The lens is only used in a camera

D. Most of the light we get is from the lens

Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.

The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians (行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient (效率高的) although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrains use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.

The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking (冒…危险) their lives by dashing across the road. Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.

Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.

1. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?

A. Taller trucks can pass under them.

B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.

C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.

D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.

2. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?

A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.

B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.

C. Because they save money for the government.

D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.
