【点睛】细节理解题的类型：
1、直接信息题
对此类题型，考生可以首先从问题中找到关键词，然后以此为线索，运用略读及查阅的技巧在文中迅速寻找这一细节，找到后再把这一部分内容仔细阅读一遍，仔细比较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别，在准确理解细节的前提下，最后确定最佳答案。如第二小题，就是可以直接在文中找到有关信息。根据Stanstead College部分中It is an English school that embraces (包含) French in and out of the classroom.（这是一所在教室内外都接受法语的英语学校）可知Stanstead College与其他学院不同之处在于Stanstead College在课堂上涉及两种语言。故选B。
2、间接信息题
做这类题目时，考生需要对原文信息进行加工处理，然后再进行进一步的推理或鉴别，这是介于事实细节题和推理判断题之间的一种题型，对考生来说有一定难度。
3、数字计算题
数字计算题也是近几年高考中常考的内容，此类试题是在文章中直接表现出来细节事实，有的要经过具体的计算才能够得出正确的答案。具体的计算题可以是对年代的计算、月份的计算或比例的计算等。文章中经常会出现许多数字，它们对解题产生一定的影响。解答此类试题的方法是先来理解文章的大意，然后经过对比、分析、计算等就能够得出正确的答案。
4、排列顺序题
这种试题要求考生根据事件发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系，找出事件发生的正确顺序。做这种题时可采用“首尾定位法”，即最先找出第一个事件和最后一个事件，迅速缩小选择范围，从而快速选出正确答案。
5、图表图画题
在有图表图画的阅读理解中，有的图表图画出现在阅读理解文章中，有的出现在选项中，这些图片的出现增加了试题的直观性，同时也暗含着和文章内容相关的信息。在解答此类试题的时候，一定要把握图表图画中所暗含的信息，特别是有些事实是通过图片来叙述的，我们可以采用按图寻找正确答案的方法。
C
A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, D.C. Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. In a natural reflex, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”
In a moment, I realized what I had done. I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This incident re- awakened my belief in humility (谦恭), even though I’d lost it for a moment.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the U.S. at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.
In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice (偏见). I remember a time, at age 17 — I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. I have also witnessed the same treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.
But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets of Washington, D.C., cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open. By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writing this essay, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.
51. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _.
A. the author was a native American
B. the blind woman needed the money badly
C. the author was as poor as the blind woman
D. the author regretted his act of prejudice
52. According to Paragraph 4, hearing the father’s words, the author was probably _.
A. rather hurt B. very excited C. greatly inspired D. deeply moved
53. Which opinion does the author agree with?
A. One should try to experience different kinds of life.
B. One should think about one’s past as often as possible.
C. One should treat others equally with love and respect.
D. One should be nice to the elderly and the disabled.
54. Why does the author say he is thankful to the blind woman at the end of the passage?
A. She has made him value what he has right now.
B. She has reminded him of the past experiences.
C. He has got a chance to think about his past and future because of her.
D. He has regained his belief in humility with her help.
55. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. How my dream comes true
B. A priceless lesson in the street
C. A Belief that will never change
D. Learn from your past
【答案】51. D 52. A 53. C 54. D 55. B

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是一个盲人给作者上了生动的一课，让作者认识到自己的问题所在，即不能公平地对待每一个人。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段 In an instant, I realized what I had done．I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be．I hated what I saw in myself．可知，一瞬间，作者意识到自己做了什么。作者判断另一个人仅仅是因为作者认为她应该是什么样的人。作者讨厌看到的自己。由此判断出，作者对自己的偏见感觉羞愧。故选D。
【52题详解】

D
These days, being a teenager isn’t easy. Teens’ schedules often include doing after-school activities, sports practice, and homework, combined with working part-time for extra spending money or to contribute to household expenses, leaving many teens feeling overworked and stressed.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, close to a quarter of all U.S. high school students participate in the workforce. Most states place limits on the amount of hours teens can work, with 20 hours a week the standard limit. Research has shown that working over the standard limit negatively (负面地) affects teens in a variety of ways.
Researchers published a recent report finding that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year leads to academic problems. The more hours a student works, the more likely their grades are to be lower.
A study published in the Sociology of Education suggests that working more than 20 hours each week leads to higher dropout rates (辍学率). Another study in the American Educational Research Journal reports that students who work between 1 and 15 hours per week are more likely to complete high school; however, students who work more than 15 hours each week are more likely to drop out.
Working over the standard limit also causes sleepiness, which can be instrumental in the cause of injuries and deaths related to inattention while driving. It has been considered as a major cause in at least 100,000 police-reported traffic crashes each year, killing more than 1,500 Americans and injuring another 71,000, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Young drivers aged 25 or under are involved in more than one-half of fall-asleep crashes.
Work helps teens gain valuable experience, teaches them much needed skills, and provides necessary spending money—but basic rules should be followed. The student workweek should be limited to 20 hours or less and should not go past 10 p.m. on a school night. Safe and healthy youth work experiences don’t just happen—teens, parents, and employers must work together to make them happen.
56. What does the first paragraph tell us about today’s teens?
A. They are too busy. B. They are quite happy.
C. They have an exciting life. D. They have more confidence.
57. What percent of U.S. high school students work part-time according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics?
A. About 15%. B. About 25%. C. About 35%. D. About 50%.
58. What is a possible result for a high schooler working two hours every day?
A. Getting lower grades. B. Becoming a dropout.
C. Finishing high school. D. Having sleep problems.
59. What does the underlined part “be instrumental in” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Result from. B. Contribute to. C. Refer to. D. Give away.
60. What is the author’s attitude to the standard 20-hour-a-week limit?
A. Unfavorable. B. Worried. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive.
【答案】56. A 57. B 58. C 59. B 60. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。在文章中作者引用了研究结果论述了青少年兼职工作时间不应该超过每周20小时。
【56题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Teens’ schedules often include doing after-school activities, sports practice, and homework, combined with working part-time for extra spending money or to contribute to household expenses, leaving many teens feeling overworked and stressed.(青少年的日程安排通常包括课外活动、体育锻炼和家庭作业，再加上兼职工作以赚取额外的钱或补贴家庭开支，这让许多青少年感到过度劳累和压力)”可推知，作者认为当前青少年们太忙碌了。故选A。

【58题详解】

【59题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前的句子“Working over the standard limit also causes sleepiness(工作超过标准限度也会导致嗜睡)”以及划线词后的句子“It has been considered as a major cause in at least 100,000 police-reported traffic crashes each year, killing more than 1,500 Americans and injuring another 71,000, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. (据美国国家公路交通安全管理局的数据，它被认为是每年至少10万起警察报告的交通事故的主要原因，导致1500多名美国人死亡，另有7.1万人受伤)”可知，工作超过标准限度也会导致瞌睡，而瞌睡导致1500多名美国人死亡，另有7.1万人受伤。即表示瞌睡是导致死亡和事故的主要原因，由此推知，划线词组contribute to意为“导致”。故选B。
【60题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文并结合最后一段中“The student workweek should be limited to 20 hours or less and should not go past 10 p.m. on a school night. (学生每周的工作时间应限制在20小时或更少，而且不应超过晚上10点)”可推知，作者是支持这个标准限度的。故选D。
四、阅读表达(本大题共 1 小题，共 10.0 分)
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I had many experiences studying in groups. But the most impressive experience for me was an English singing competition.
Last term, we had to sing an English song in groups in the singing competition. The song our team chose was Try Everything.
Although most of the team members quickly learned the melody (曲调), there were still a few students who couldn’t sing it or were too shy to sing it in public. So, we taught those who couldn’t sing and encouraged those who were very shy. Finally, we sang it really well and got first prize.
From this experience, I realized that studying in groups has a lot of superiority. Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. When we work in teams, we can learn from each other and fill in teaming gaps. Also, it’s easy to give up when studying alone. And with each other’s encouragement,. We’ll be more likely to be able to persist. What’s more, when we discuss in groups, we can learn how to communicate with others and achieve the team goals together.
Just as the saying goes, “Alone we can run faster, but together we can go further?” So, let’s enjoy group study!
61. Which experience made the author feel it memorable in group learning? (no more than 5 words)
_____________________________________________________

3、数字计算题
数字计算题也是近几年高考中常考的内容，此类试题是在文章中直接表现出来细节事实，有的要经过具体的计算才能够得出正确的答案。具体的计算题可以是对年代的计算、月份的计算或比例的计算等。文章中经常会出现许多数字，它们对解题产生一定的影响。解答此类试题的方法是先来理解文章的大意，然后经过对比、分析、计算等就能够得出正确的答案。
4、排列顺序题
这种试题要求考生根据事件发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系，找出事件发生的正确顺序。做这种题时可采用“首尾定位法”，即最先找出第一个事件和最后一个事件，迅速缩小选择范围，从而快速选出正确答案。
5、图表图画题
在有图表图画的阅读理解中，有的图表图画出现在阅读理解文章中，有的出现在选项中，这些图片的出现增加了试题的直观性，同时也暗含着和文章内容相关的信息。在解答此类试题的时候，一定要把握图表图画中所暗含的信息，特别是有些事实是通过图片来叙述的，我们可以采用按图寻找正确答案的方法。
C
A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, D.C. Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. In a natural reflex, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”
In a moment, I realized what I had done. I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This incident re- awakened my belief in humility (谦恭), even though I’d lost it for a moment.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the U.S. at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.
In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice (偏见). I remember a time, at age 17 — I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. I have also witnessed the same treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.
But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets of Washington, D.C., cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open. By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writing this essay, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.
51. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _.
A. the author was a native American
B. the blind woman needed the money badly
C. the author was as poor as the blind woman
D. the author regretted his act of prejudice
52. According to Paragraph 4, hearing the father’s words, the author was probably _.
A. rather hurt B. very excited C. greatly inspired D. deeply moved
53. Which opinion does the author agree with?
A. One should try to experience different kinds of life.
B. One should think about one’s past as often as possible.
C. One should treat others equally with love and respect.
D. One should be nice to the elderly and the disabled.
54. Why does the author say he is thankful to the blind woman at the end of the passage?
A. She has made him value what he has right now.
B. She has reminded him of the past experiences.
C. He has got a chance to think about his past and future because of her.
D. He has regained his belief in humility with her help.
55. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. How my dream comes true
B. A priceless lesson in the street
C. A Belief that will never change
D. Learn from your past
【答案】51. D 52. A 53. C 54. D 55. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是一个盲人给作者上了生动的一课，让作者认识到自己的问题所在，即不能公平地对待每一个人。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段 In an instant, I realized what I had done．I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be．I hated what I saw in myself．可知，一瞬间，作者意识到自己做了什么。作者判断另一个人仅仅是因为作者认为她应该是什么样的人。作者讨厌看到的自己。由此判断出，作者对自己的偏见感觉羞愧。故选D。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段I remember a time, at age 17 —— I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me．可知，作者记得有一次，在作者17岁的时候——作者做服务员，作者听到一个父亲告诉他的小男孩，如果他在学校表现不好，他最终会像作者一样。由此判断出对方说这样的话是严重的看不起作者，让作者感觉很受伤。故选A。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段2,3行That blind woman on the streets of Washington, D.C., cured me of my blindness． She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open．华盛顿特区大街上的那位盲人治好了作者的失明。她让作者想起了对谦卑的信念，让作者时刻睁开眼睛，敞开心扉。根据文章第二段第二句This incident re-awakened my belief in humility(谦恭), even though I’d lost it for a moment．这件事重新唤醒了作者对谦卑的信念，尽管作者一度失去了。作者意识到自己的问题所在，根据外表去判断一个人，而没有公平地对待别人。所以判断出作者同意“一个人应该用爱和尊重平等地对待他人”的观点。故选C。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open. By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writing this essay, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.可知，她让作者想起了对谦卑的信念，让作者时刻睁开眼睛，敞开心扉。顺便说一下，作者帮那位女士去了邮局。在写这篇文章时，作者感谢她给自己上了宝贵的一课。所以作者感谢那个盲人是因为在她的帮助下，作者重拾了谦卑的信念。故选D。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述的是一个盲人给作者上了生动的一课，让作者认识到自己的问题所在，即不能公平地对待每一个人。所以短文的最佳标题为“大街上宝贵的一课”。故选B。
D
These days, being a teenager isn’t easy. Teens’ schedules often include doing after-school activities, sports practice, and homework, combined with working part-time for extra spending money or to contribute to household expenses, leaving many teens feeling overworked and stressed.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, close to a quarter of all U.S. high school students participate in the workforce. Most states place limits on the amount of hours teens can work, with 20 hours a week the standard limit. Research has shown that working over the standard limit negatively (负面地) affects teens in a variety of ways.
Researchers published a recent report finding that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year leads to academic problems. The more hours a student works, the more likely their grades are to be lower.
A study published in the Sociology of Education suggests that working more than 20 hours each week leads to higher dropout rates (辍学率). Another study in the American Educational Research Journal reports that students who work between 1 and 15 hours per week are more likely to complete high school; however, students who work more than 15 hours each week are more likely to drop out.
Working over the standard limit also causes sleepiness, which can be instrumental in the cause of injuries and deaths related to inattention while driving. It has been considered as a major cause in at least 100,000 police-reported traffic crashes each year, killing more than 1,500 Americans and injuring another 71,000, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Young drivers aged 25 or under are involved in more than one-half of fall-asleep crashes.
Work helps teens gain valuable experience, teaches them much needed skills, and provides necessary spending money—but basic rules should be followed. The student workweek should be limited to 20 hours or less and should not go past 10 p.m. on a school night. Safe and healthy youth work experiences don’t just happen—teens, parents, and employers must work together to make them happen.
56. What does the first paragraph tell us about today’s teens?
A. They are too busy. B. They are quite happy.
C. They have an exciting life. D. They have more confidence.
57. What percent of U.S. high school students work part-time according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics?
A. About 15%. B. About 25%. C. About 35%. D. About 50%.
58. What is a possible result for a high schooler working two hours every day?
A. Getting lower grades. B. Becoming a dropout.
C. Finishing high school. D. Having sleep problems.
59. What does the underlined part “be instrumental in” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Result from. B. Contribute to. C. Refer to. D. Give away.
60. What is the author’s attitude to the standard 20-hour-a-week limit?
A. Unfavorable. B. Worried. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive.
【答案】56. A 57. B 58. C 59. B 60. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。在文章中作者引用了研究结果论述了青少年兼职工作时间不应该超过每周20小时。

四、阅读表达(本大题共 1 小题，共 10.0 分)
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I had many experiences studying in groups. But the most impressive experience for me was an English singing competition.
Last term, we had to sing an English song in groups in the singing competition. The song our team chose was Try Everything.
Although most of the team members quickly learned the melody (曲调), there were still a few students who couldn’t sing it or were too shy to sing it in public. So, we taught those who couldn’t sing and encouraged those who were very shy. Finally, we sang it really well and got first prize.
From this experience, I realized that studying in groups has a lot of superiority. Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. When we work in teams, we can learn from each other and fill in teaming gaps. Also, it’s easy to give up when studying alone. And with each other’s encouragement,. We’ll be more likely to be able to persist. What’s more, when we discuss in groups, we can learn how to communicate with others and achieve the team goals together.
Just as the saying goes, “Alone we can run faster, but together we can go further?” So, let’s enjoy group study!
