2024届全国高考(新高考)英语复习历年真题好题专项(阅读理解+读后续写)练习(附答案)

2024届全国高考(新高考)英语复习历年真题好题专项(阅读理解+读后续写)练习Ⅰ.阅读理解A2023ꞏ济南市高三检测说明文258词★★★☆☆The AIDA model is the foundation of modern marketing and advertising practice. It outlines the four basic steps used to persuade potentials to make a purchase. The first three steps lie in creating attention (A), decorating interest (I), and building desire (D) for the product, before the fourth step—the “call to action” (A)—tells them exactly how and where to buy. AIDA can channel the customer's feelings through each stage toward reaching a sale.Attracting the customer's attention is the first challenge and this may be achieved by using an attracting phrase or picture. Once someone's attention has been clutched,__it must be turned into real interest. This is best done by providing a brief description of the product's benefits to the consumer rather than simply listing the product's main features or problem-solving claims.Now, it is time to transform that interest into a desire for a product or service. This is where consumers need to believe their lives could be better by possessing the product. It could be a vital step towards turning a potential into a real customer.“Call-to-action” is where all of the initial hard work pays off and leads to the action from a potential customer. For example, they might pick up the phone to discuss the idea of a trial of the services or, alternatively, they may just buy that product or service that has been promoted to them all along.And AIDA is used to great effect in the movie industry. Movie studios begin their marketing campaigns months in advance. The campaigns develop by offering attractive flashes of the movie without giving too much away. Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview which is fully designed to show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue on the opening weekend. Advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie's release, inviting the consumer to go and buy a ticket.1.What is the purpose of practising AIDA?A.To create jobs.B.To increase sales.C.To research markets.D.To introduce products.2.What does the underlined word “clutched” mean in Paragraph 2?A.Seized. B.Freed.C.Cheated. D.Affected.3.In which stage of the AIDA model may a customer call to try the service?A.Action. B.Interest.C.Desire. D.Attention.4.Why does the author mention the movie industry in the last paragraph?A.To design an AIDA model.B.To display how AIDA works.C.To show how to make a movie.D.To advertise the movie industry.B2023ꞏ济南市高三检测议论文349词★★★☆☆According to a study done by University of Michigan, shopping to reduce stress was 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad than those only looking at items.More than half of the 1,000 consumers surveyed by Credit Karma, head researcher of the study, said they have shopped to deal with feelings of stress or depression. About 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress shopping said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. About 82 percent of women spend on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead shopping for jewellery, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men.In some sense, stress shopping can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. The survey found 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood was long-lasting. However, stress shopping, for many, could grow into a drive that uses up money, causes conflict, and therefore adds great stress to life.Despite the in-time joy from purchases, stress shopping never proves a long-lasting cure to stress or depression. Actually it needs to be avoided anyhow. Whether you're purchasing presents or buying groceries, having the items you need written down will provide you with brightness while shopping. Reward yourself for sticking to your list and you'll be more likely to commit to it.In addition always think about what you struggle with most financially. Do you spend too much money at the mall? Eating out? Vacations? Make a list of where your money is going and take necessary steps to resist your desire. For example, if you spend too much money on dining out on weekends, stuff your cupboard with food on Friday. So you'll be more likely to stay in and cook. And you need to give up the need to keep up with others. Everyone's financial situation is different and comparison may lead to debt and dissatisfaction with what you already have.5.Why does the author mention those numbers in Paragraph 2?A.To support an idea.B.To attract readers.C.To call for actions.D.To introduce a topic.6.Which of the following may help deal with stress shopping?A.Stimulating desires.B.Recording spending.C.Turning to medicines.D.Comparing with others.7.What is the author's attitude to stress shopping?A.Unclear. B.Doubtful.C.Objective. D.Negative.8.What is a suitable title for the text?A.Does shopping benefit us?B.More stressed, women or men?C.Should we compare with others?D.Can stress shopping reduce stress?Ⅱ.读后续写[2023ꞏ武汉市高三调研]阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

高中英语阅读A篇集锦(一)

高中英语阅读集锦(一)1 2012北京卷AThe Basics of Math—Made ClearBasic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer.

White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised ~70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle(车座)and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end.

But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes,accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales (童话).The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained €10,000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名)envelopes, each containing €10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least €190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper 's own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of € 500 inside with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.“I was driving when I heard the news," Claudia Neumann, the boy's mother, told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless."The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for."For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.Henning Noske,the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: "Maybe it is an old。

He told his brother: "Receive this scholar and treat him well!Don't say a word to him,and everything will be OK."The monk left the temple. Upon returning, he went to meet his guest."Did my brother receive you properly?" asked the monk."You brother is outstanding. He's a great theologian!" exclaimed the theologian with great enthusiasm."What do you mean? My brother---a theologian?" stuttered(结巴地说)the surprised monk."We had a passionate conversation," replied the scholar." We communicated professionally by means of gestures. I showed him one finger and he replied by showing me two. Logically, I answered with three fingers and then he astonished me by raising a closed fist, ending the debate. With one finger, I implied the unity of Buddha. With two fingers, he expanded my point of view by reminding me that Buddha was inseparable from his theory. Delighted by the reply, with three fingers I expressed: Buddha and his theory in the world. Then he suggested a wonderful response, showing me his fist: Buddha, his theory and the world, all together as one whole. "A little later, the monk went to look for his one-eyed brother."So how did it go earlier with the theologian?" he asked."Very simple," said the brother. "He made fun of me; he show me one finger emphasizing that I have but one eye. Not wanting to fall into the conflict, I showed that he was fortunate enough to have two eyes. Critically, he continued, 'Be that as it may, between us, we have three eyes.' That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Showing him a closed fist, I threatened to lay him out right then and there if he didn't stop his insulting challenges."(1)According to the passage, the monk's brother is a person__________.A. who was a great theologianB. who was a three-eyed idiotC. who was a one-eyed theologianD. who was a fool with only one eye(2)The theologian thought the monk's brother as a great theologian because ______. A. the brother was a one-eyed idiot B. the brother could communicate properly and politely by means of gesturesC. the brother had deep thoughts of BuddhismD. the theologian himself misunderstood the brother's gestures(3)What would the monk do after he heard of his brother's explanation on how it went earlier with the theologian?A. The monk would be very angry with his brother and beat him.B. The monk would be very happy and praise him.C. The monk would apologize to the theologian and his brother.D. The monk would thinkwhat a funny misunderstanding it was.(4)According to what the theologian said, he considered the monk's brother's fist to be the meaning of _____________.A. a threat to himB. an encouragement to himC. a unity of the Buddha, theory and the worldD. one eye of himself【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,神学大师站在自己的角度误解了和尚的傻瓜弟弟的手势语言,让人读着忍不住发笑。

【英语】高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven't given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. "It's a silent extinction," said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist."The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places," said Hennessy, "as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence." You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece.Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids' books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies (亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of "least concern" but two subspecies as "endangered". "It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information," Hennessy says. "And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after." He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become.(1)By saying "It's a silent extinction", Hennessy tells us that ______.A. giraffes are unpopular in AfricaB. the giraffe is always silent in daily lifeC. the ecology of Africa needs more attentionD. the extinction occurs without enough attention(2)What has caused the high price of giraffe meat in Tanzania?A. The country's custom.B. The illegal international trade.C. The cost of hunting a giraffe.D. The idea that it's a cure for AIDS.(3)The misconception in Para. 3 can be corrected by ______.A. preventing illegal hunting in AfricaB. rewriting kids' books about giraffesC. providing reliable data about giraffesD. spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS(4)The final purpose of Hennessy's great effort is to ______.A. collect more information about giraffesB. raise public awareness of protecting giraffesC. prove giraffes will disappear in the next few yearsD. work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了长颈鹿濒临灭绝的原因,并指出提供准确的数据,提高人们的保护意识至关重要。

The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm, Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered( 发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well —Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground,“ Paris’ s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “ She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life.”Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “ I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “ I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”56.What happened to Paris on a March day?A.She caught a bad cold.B.She had a sudden heart problem.C.She was knocked down by a ball.D.She shivered terribly during practice57.Why does Paris say she was lucky?A.She made a worthy friend.B.She recovered from shock.C.She received immediate CPR.D.S he came back on the softball team.58.Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?A.Enthusiastic and kind.B.Courageous and calm.C.Cooperative and generous.D.Ambitious and professional.【2017 江苏卷】ACHRONOLOGICA——The Unbelievable Years that Defined History DID YOU KNOW…In 105 AD paper was invented in China?When Columbus discovered the New World?The British Museum opened in 1759?CHRONOLOGICA is a fascinating journey through time, from the foundation of Rometo the creation of the internet.

2021年新高考i卷英语阅读理解a篇

2021年新高考i卷英语阅读理解a篇

2021年新高考i卷英语阅读理解a篇In recent years, the concept of education has undergone significant changes. With the development of technology and the advancement of society, the traditional methods of teaching and learning are being challenged. As a result, there has been a growing emphasis on the importance of critical thinking skills in education. This article will explore the significance of critical thinking skills in the context of the 2021 New College Entrance Examination (NCEE), also known as the "new gaokao" in China.The New College Entrance Examination, implemented in 2021, aims to promote a more comprehensive and holistic approach to education. One of the key changes in the NCEE is the inclusion of more open-ended questions that require students to think critically and analytically. This shift reflects the recognition that memorization and regurgitation of facts is no longer sufficient in the modern world. To succeed in the NCEE, students need to develop their critical thinking skills.Critical thinking is the ability to analyze and evaluate information objectively and independently. It involves questioning assumptions, considering different perspectives, and forming reasoned judgments. In the context of the NCEE, critical thinking skills are essential for understanding and interpreting complex texts, making inferences, and solving problems.One of the main benefits of critical thinking skills is their application in real-life situations. In today's society, individuals are faced with an overwhelming amount of information from various sources such as the internet, social media, and traditional media. Being able to critically evaluatethis information is crucial for making informed decisions and avoiding misinformation. The NCEE aims to equip students with the skills necessary to navigate this information-rich environment effectively.Furthermore, critical thinking skills are closely associated with independent and creative thinking. By encouraging students to question and explore different ideas, the NCEE promotes a culture of intellectual curiosity and innovation. These are vital attributes for success not only in the examination but also in higher education and the workforce.To develop critical thinking skills, students need to be exposed to a range of texts and perspectives. The NCEE reading comprehension section provides an excellent opportunity for students to engage with various types of texts, including articles, essays, and literary works. By analyzing and interpreting these texts, students can enhance their comprehension skills and develop their ability to think critically.In addition to reading, writing also plays a crucial role in the development of critical thinking skills. Through writing, students are encouraged to organize their thoughts, construct coherent arguments, and communicate their ideas effectively. The NCEE writing section, therefore, serves as a platform for students to practice and refine their critical thinking and writing abilities.In conclusion, the introduction of critical thinking skills in the 2021 NCEE reflects the changing demands of education in the 21st century. By emphasizing critical thinking, the examination aims to equip students with the skills necessary for success in the modern world. The development of critical thinking skills not only benefits students in the examination but alsoin their future academic and professional endeavors. Therefore, it is essential for students to embrace and cultivate these skills to thrive in the new gaokao and beyond.。

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Mexico sites on an island plateau (高原) surrounded by volcanic peaks, which makes air quality a constant concern for people who live there.In April, the country took a decisive step toward improving air quality by enacting a temporary ban on private and Federal vehicles in the city. The rule forbids people from driving in the city one day each week and one Saturday each month. Electric vehicles, government service vehicles, public transport options and school buses are not included in the ban.Mexico City isn't the first urban center to be involved in car-free living. But the ban is more than an awareness-raiser. It was enacted with the direct aim of solving air pollution. In March, the city sank into a deep brown haze of smog when the pollution levels passed the 200 mark. The city ordered some 1.1m of the area's 4.7m cars off the streets and also offered free bus and subway rides.Mexico City's temporary vehicle ban raises questions about the best ways to improve urban air quality. India, whose citizens breathe some of the world's dirtiest air, has tried a variety of solutions. Earlier this year, the Indian government started a 4% sales tax on new-car purchases. Beijing also has experience with cleaning the air. The city introduced alternate-day rules in advance of the 2008 Olympic Games, which produced good results. And then there is the London congestion (拥挤) charge, introduced in 2003. The charge has had a measurable effect on air quality.For now, Mexico City — named by the United Nations as the most polluted city on the planet in 1992 — can look forward to the start of the region's rainy season, when daily showers will help lo clean the air.(1)How did Mexico ban vehicles in the city?A. By banning private and Federal vehicles one day a week.B. By forbidding private and public vehicles every Saturday.C. By limiting the number of new cars.D. By prohibiting the vehicles except public ones.(2)What did the government of Mexico do when carrying out the ban on vehicles?A. Raised the number of public vehicles.B. Offered free bus and subway rides.C. Introduced more travel options.D. Encouraged citizens to leave the city.(3)What may contribute to improving the air quality in Mexico?A. Alternate-day rules.B. Tax rises.C. Congestion charge.D. The rainy season.(4)What's the best title for the passage?A. Mexico —an Island PlateauB. A Variety of Bans on Vehicles in MexicoC. Should Cities Be Car-free ZonesD. How to Improve Air Quality【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,墨西哥墨西哥政府为了提高空气质量,在实施车辆禁令时提供免费巴士和地铁。

People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字) rate in England was under50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters —from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A. his reputation in FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To remember a great writer.B. To introduce an English novel.C. To encourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.【江苏卷】【北京卷】AMy First Marathon(马拉松)A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was“not athletic”.The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s,I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带)became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile3, I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself,, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签),I can now call myself a "marathon winner”.36.
