高中英语阅读理解解题策略与技巧
一、专题精讲
长难句分析 （考纲单词200句摘抄）：
1. Late in the 20th century, the world has witnessed that the modest and humble Chinese people made the best use of their diligence and intelligence to reform economic structure, develop their domestic industry, improve people’s living standard, provide more access to education, defense the territory and cooperate with any peace-loving country in the world.

2.The embarrassed computer talent felt guilty of sending a threatening mail to the security department simply for fun as the police were appointed to search every vacant seat in the airport and plenty of flights were canceled.

3.This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school.

4.While this program enabled many minority entrepreneurs to form new businesses, the results were disappointing, since managerial inexperience, unfavourable locations, and capital shortages led to high failure rates. Even 15 years after the program was implemented, minority business receipts were not quite two percent of the national economy’s total receipts.
5.When written alone, the specific name is meaningless since many different species in different genera have the same specific name. The specific name familiaris, for example, is commonly used to describe species. Therefore, when used by itself, it would not describe any one organism. When the genus is also given, however, as in Canis familiaris, we know that the name refers to a specific organism: the domestic dog.

二、专题过关
例1：
Opinion polls are now beginning to show that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely.
But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work?
The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now becoming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.
Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they live.
Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In preindustrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and families to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.
It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded~a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.
All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.
1. Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a factor contributing to the spread of employment?
A. Many people’s loss of their land
B. The development of factories
C. Relief from housework on the part of women.
D. Development of modem means of transportation
2. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. most people who have been polled believe that the problem of unemployment may not be solved within a short period of time
B. many farmers lost their land when new railways and factories were being constructed
C. in preindustrial societies housework and community service were mainly carried out by women
D. some of the changes in work pattern that the industrial age brought have been reversed
3. What does the word “daunting”in the third paragraph mean?
A. Shocking B. Interesting C. Confusing D. Stimulating
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Employment became widespread in the 17th and 18th centuries.
B. Unemployment will remain a major problem for industrialized nations.
C. The industrial age may now be coming to an end.
D. Some efforts should be devoted to coping with the problem of unemployment.
例2：
Teacher burnout (倦怠) and student stress may be linked, according to a University of British Columbia study. The study is the first of its kind to examine the connection between teacher burnout and students’ cortisol level (可体松水平), which are a biological indicator of stress.
Researcher collected saliva (唾液) samples from over 400 elementary school children and tested their cortisol levels. They found that in classroom in which teachers experienced more burnout, or feelings of emotional exhaustion, students’ cortisol levels were elevated. Higher cortisol levels in elementary school children have been linked to learning difficulties as well as mental health problems.
“This suggests that stress spreading might be taking place in the classroom among students and their teachers,” said Eva Oberle, the study’s lead author. Indeed, the relationship between student stress and teacher burnout is a chicken and egg question. It is unknown what came first –evaluated cortisol or teacher burnout. We consider the connection between student and teacher stress a cyclical problem in the classroom.
Oberle said a stressful classroom climate could be a result of inadequate support for teachers, which may impact teachers’ ability to effectively manage their students. A poorly managed classroom can contribute to students’ needs not being met and increasing stress. This could be reflected in elevated cortisol levels in students.
Alternatively, stress could originate from students, who may be more challenging to teach because of increases in anxiety, behavioral problems, or special needs. In this situation, teachers could feel overwhelmed and report higher levels of burnout.
“Our study is a reminder of the systemic issues facing teachers and educators as classroom sizes increase and supports for teachers are cut,” said Oberle.
“It is clear from a number of recent research studies that teaching is one of the most stressful professions, and that teachers need adequate resources and support in their jobs in order to battle burnout and relieve stress in the classroom,” said UBC education professor Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, the study ‘s co-author and director of HELP. “If we do not support teachers, we risk the collateral damage (附带损害) of students.”
1. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Relieve Stress in the class
B. A Puzzling Question of Egg and Chicken
C. The Most Stressful Profession in the world
D. The Link Between Students Stress and Teacher Burnout
2. Paragraph 4 and paragraph 5 are intended to make it clear that ______.
A. teacher burnout may be the cause of the elevated cortisol levels in students.
B. the connection between students and teacher stress is a cyclical problem.
C. students with higher stress level are more likely to have learning difficulties.
D. students’ behavioral problems may result in teacher’s higher level of burnout.
3. According to the writer, many British teachers face the problem that ______.
A. teachers are not well trained to deal with students’ problems.
B. teachers’ income increases but teaching resources are cut.
C. there’re more students in each class and less support for teachers.
D. there is a widening gap between students’ need and teachers’ ability.
4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The more burnout teachers experience, the higher cortisol levels in students.
B. Adequate support may help teachers manage students more effectively.
C. Students will benefit as a result of reduced teacher burnout.
D. High cortisol level indicates high level of burnout.

Dear Sir,
My name is Li Ming, a student of Qi Ming Middle school. I’m writing to apply for the fund for the project helping the children in poor areas. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit a school in a mountain area. What I experienced stimulated my eagerness to do something for them. The following is my plan.
We’ll hold a charity activity to get more people to know about the living and learning conditions of the kids in poor areas so that immediate action will be taken. Then we’ll raise money, collect books or daily necessities for those poor kids. Besides, a video play will be shot to convey the wishes, cheers and encouragement from us city people to them. Equally significantly, I’m planning to visit with those kids to establish a close connection between us.
If I were lucky enough to be granted the 2,000 Yuan fund, a quarter of it would be spared for the traffic and so costs, while the rest would be added to the money collected for the improvement of the teaching facilities.
Thanks for your consideration. I am looking forward to being your part of the project.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating (发电)and transmission(输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.
The 19th century saw land grants (政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.
Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the 
West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to readily take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.
      So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.
     The lasting effects of these tradeoffs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.
     The money set aside in negotiated tradeoffs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let's remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.

1. What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?
A. Small towns along the railways became abandoned.
B. Some railroad stops remained underused.
C. Land in the West was hard to manage.
D. Land grants went into private hands.
2. What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?
A. The transmission of power.          
B. The use of money and power.
C. The conservation of solar energy.       
D. The selection of an ideal place. 
3. What is the author's attitude towards building solar plants?
A. Cautious.  
B. Approving.
C. Doubtful.  
D. Disapproving.
4. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. How the Railways Have Affected the West 
B. How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West 
C. How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced 
D. How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled

Mapping Antarctica
Antarctica was on the map long before anyone ever laid eyes on it. Nearly 2, 400 years ago, ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle believed that a great continent must exist at the bottom of the world. They thought it was needed to balance out the continents at the top of the world. In the 1500s, mapmakers often included a fanciful continent they referred to as Terra Incognita ( Latin for"unknown land") at the bottom of their maps. But it was not until the 1800s----- after explore had sighted and set foot on Antarctica -----that mapmakers got down to the business of really mapping the continent, which is one-and-a-half times the size of the U.S.
While the coastline could be mapped by ships sailing around the continent, it took airplanes and later, satellites-to chart Antarctica's vast interior(内陆). That job continues today. And it is a job that can still require a mapmaker, or cartographer, to put on boots and head out into the wild.
Cole Kelleher is familiar with that. He is a cartographer with the Polar Geospatial Center(PGC) which is based at the University of Minnesota and has a staff at.-McMurdo Station. PGC teamed up with Google to use the company's Trekker technology to capture images of Antarctica for the Internet giant's popular feature, Street View. A Trekker camera, which is the size of a basketball, is set about two feet above a backpack. The camera records images in all direction “It weighs about 50 pounds. I was out for two and a half days, hiking 10 to 12 hours each day, ”says Kelleher. “It was hard work, but really an incredible experience.” According to Kelleher there are plans to use the technology to create educational apps for museums.
The PGC staff at McMurdo Station provides highly specialized mapmaking services for the U.S. Antarctic Program. For one project, Kelleher used satellite images to map huge cracks in the ice. That helped a team of researchers know whether they could safely approach their field camp on snowmobiles. Another recent project was to help recover a giant, high-tech helium (氦气）balloon used to carry scientific instruments high into the atmosphere. These balloons are launched in Antarctica because there is no danger that they will hurt anyone when they fall back down to Barth. Using satellite images, Kelleher and colleagues created maps of where the balloon could be found.
Antarctica may no longer be Terra Incognita, but it still holds countless mysteries.Cartographers and the maps they make will continue to be essential in helping scientists unlock those secrets.

64. From the passage, we can infer that Antarctic was on the map in the 1500s when________.
A. mapmakers knew it was much larger than the U.S.
B. Aristotle named the continent Tera Incognita
C.no one had ever seen or been to the continent
D. it was such an interesting continent as was often referred to
65. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It needs much work for the mapmakers to head out into the wild
B. The interior can only be mapped by planes and satellites.
C. It is relatively easy to. map Antarctica's coastline by ships.
D. Antarctic is a vast but still mysterious continent.
66. The Polar Geospatial Center(PGC)works with Google initially_________.
A. to capture images of Antarctica for Street View
B. to test the company’s Trekker technology
C. to create educational apps for museums
D.to hike for an incredible experienced

Our days are filled with continual interruptions. Email, texts, meetings, needy colleagues—and the list goes on. Many companies even encourage us to perform multiple things at once, creating open office spaces that promoteimpromptu(临时的) dialogues to go along with jobs that require us to handle totally different tasks at the same time.
But a growing number of researchers say that trying to perform multiple tasks makes you less productive. It turns out that you get more done when you focus on a single task.
That’s because our brains are hardwired to do one thing at a time. When we think we are multi-tasking, we’re really not. Instead, as far as our brains are concerned, we are fully switching back and forth between tasks.
Doing that repeatedly tires out the brain and lowers cognitive(认知的) ability, research shows. “It’s never multitasking,” says Devora Zack, author of the book Singletasking. “Andit completely backfires in every sense of the word.”
Multitasking “produces shallower thinking, reduces creativity, increases errors and lowers our ability to block irrelevant information,” says Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman, founder and chief director, Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas. Because the brain was not built to multitask, over time it can lead to heightened levels of stress and depression and lower overall intellectual capacity, she says.
Yet despite mounting evidence that multitasking isn’t effective, old attitudes combined with new technology make multitaskingpopular in most work places.
We have ourselves to blame, in part. When we do a lot of things at once, say, answering emails while writing a report or taking a call while we’re in a meeting, it makes us feel busy and productive, says Dr. Christine Carter, executive director of the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley.
“Busyness is a sign of importance, which serves the old guard,” says Carter. “There is the myth(误区) that the more time you spend in the office, the better worker you are.”
She sees that attitude as a hangover from the prime of industrialization when we clocked in and out of factories and offices. Back then the myth was manageable, because people usually left work at the office when they went home in the evenings. “The whole thing got blown out of balance with the rise of laptops and email,” she says.
“Complicating matters,” writes Chapman, “technology is actually rewiring our brains to be addicted to interruption, as we anxiously wait for the next ping signaling a new email, text or social media post.” In other words, like any addiction, even though we know interruptions are bad for us, they are hard to switch off.
“We suffer as a society from scattered brain syndrome(综合症)", says Singletasking author Zack. "It’s everywhere—throughout our work lives and personal lives."

63. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Multitasking works well in offices.
B. Multitasking produces opposite effect.
C. Multitasking is unavoidably a trend of today.
D. Multitasking has both advantages and disadvantages.
64. According to the passage, which of the following is not among the negative effects of multitasking?
A. Reducing creativity. B. Getting distracted.
C. Increasing stress. D. Feeling unimportant.
65. Dr. Christine Carter’s holds the view that________.
A. busyness is a sign of importance
B. things have changed with the rise of laptops and email
C. technology is resetting our brains to get used to interruption
D. the more time you spend in the office, the better worker you are
66. What can best describethe author’s opinion aboutmultitasking?
A. Popular but harmful. B. Once addicted, always addicted.
C.Technology helps. D. Multi or single, still a question.
