「God made the world, but the Dutch made Holland.」 True to this saying, the people of the Netherlands are again 「making」 their land.
About 1980 the Netherlands will complete a project begun in the 1920』s: transforming the Zyuder Zee, an inlet (小港) of the North Sea into dry land and a freshwater lake. By stages, 550,000 acres of land will serve several purposes: instrial, recreational, military, and agricultural. Fed by the river Yssel, the remaining water basin Lake Yssel, about 300,000 acres will irrigate the surrounding land and help in the fight against salination (鹽化作用). Excess water will drain through sluices into the sea.
As the first stop a nineteen-mile-long barrier dam, rising twenty-five feet above sea level, closed the entrance to the Zuider Zee. Then the experimental polder of a hundred acres preceded the first and smallest of the main polders fifty thousand acres that became dry land in 1930. The fifth and largest polder 150,000 acres will be the last of the Zuider Zee works.
Farmers for the new polder (開拓地) come from every province. The Eastern Flevoland polder, completed in 1957, became farmland for many from the province of Zealand which was badly hit by the disastrous floods of 1953.

During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the intriguing story was reported of a tramp(流浪漢) who, apparently through no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Presumably all the proper Security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last minute Christmas presents
However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor and philosophic temperament---as indeed vagrants(流浪漢) very commonly arc. Everyone also was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He submitted, cheerfully enough, to being taken way by the police. Perhaps he had bad a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for Seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television. Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas too.
1. The tramp was locked in the store____
A. for his mistakes. B. e to a misunderstanding. C. by accident. D. through an error of judgment.

4. When the tramp was arrested, he _____
A. laughed at the police. B. looked forward to going to pr)son.

『貳』 高考英語閱讀理解怎樣可以不看文章就選答案,而且保證正確率
文章再怎麼說還是要看的 抓與答案相關的關鍵句 我覺得你還是在高考前稍微連些閱讀 不管水平多差 總對你又幫助的 至少稍微能培養下你猜題的感覺
『叄』 高考英語閱讀理解,能看懂,卻總是選不對答案,包括推斷和主旨,覺得他的答案奇怪!我想控制在錯一個以下。
首先這種題不抄能想歪想怪,要選最直截了當的答案。推斷題我不知你說的是哪種,如果猜詞意句意,要聯繫上下文,在要求猜測的文段周圍仔細閱讀。如果問「從文段中能推測出什麼信息」,千萬不可選那些文章中直接出現的語句,因為問題就是「推斷」,要選那種文段中沒直接提但是一目瞭然的選項。
主旨題本身難度就大。正確的選項對文段主旨概括的范圍不能過大,一般可從文章首句,末句,段首句,段尾句,首段,末段找到答案。
關鍵在於多加練習,我以前這種題也常錯的,你可以專門強化一下這類題。祝你成功!
『肆』 高考英語閱讀怎麼選對答案
閱讀理解要天天練,而且要看細解,弄明白為什麼你選錯了,一定要改變自己的習慣思維,要從出題人的和作者的角度去選擇。我下面幫你推薦一篇關於閱讀理解的解題技巧的文章,希望能幫到你,加油!!!
高考英語閱讀理解題型的分值要佔高考英語總分的40/150,是所有題型中佔分比例最大的一道題,在閱讀理解上是否得高分,是能否取得高考英語好成績的關鍵。閱讀理解部分主要測試考生以下能力:
1、掌握所讀材料的主旨和大意;
2、了解用以闡述主旨的事實和有關細節;
3、根據上下文判斷大綱附表以外的某些詞彙和短語的意義;
4、既理解個別句子的意義,也理解上下文之間的邏輯關系;
5、根據所讀材料進行一定的判斷,推理和引申;
6、正確領會作者的觀點和態度。
有鑒於此,本文將討論高考英語閱讀理解中針對以上情況設計的題型,幫助考生熟悉常見題型,掌握解題策略和技巧。
一、主旨題——考分辨和提綱挈領的能力
主旨題是閱讀理解中最常見的題型之一,測試閱讀理解的基本能力;掌握所讀材料的率是和大意。這種題型考查學生在語言水平上對文章的把握:能否分辨主題和細節、是否具備提綱挈領的能力。解答這類題可以運用如下方法:
1、把握文章邏輯結構
把握文章邏輯結構對於做主旨題很朋幫助,因為文章主題出現的位置對應於文章邏輯結構中的一個部分。高考閱讀理解文章的主要邏輯結構有:
1)時間順序。按時間先後說明某一理論的發展,或某一研究成果由過去至現在的情況。屬於這種結構的主題通常在首段或末段。
2)一般 一般。首段做總的說明,其他段落分別說明或具體論述首段的觀點。屬於這種結構的文章主題在首段。
3)具體 一般。前面幾段分別說明,末段總結。主題在末段。
4)對比。進行對比的各事物之間的基本共同點或差異為主題。
5)分類。分類說明的各大項相加為主題。
2、抓主題句
主題句表達中心思想,其它句子均圍繞它進行說明或議論。它在文章中的通常位置為第一段首句、第一段末句和全文末句等地方。所以閱讀時對這些地方要特別關注。
3、概括段落大意
4、根據論述詳略確定
通常與主題有關的部分有較詳盡的論述,而與主題關系不夠密切的部分論述較簡略。
主旨題除了上述形式之外,還有如下變體:
1、標題
問標題的題也是一種主旨題,與主旨題的解題主法和技巧完全一樣。二者的差別主要體現於選項的形式:主旨題的答案通常以一句話表示,而問標題的答案大多為一個名詞片語。此外,標題必須反映文章的中心大意,而且只能反映文章的中心大意。這就要求選項的歸納范圍要恰如其分,既不能只提及文中的一個細節,也不能將本文以外的內容概括於其中。
2、寫作目的
寫作目的與文章主題不同,但與它關系密切,所以也可以算作主旨題的一種變全體。二者的異同可以從下面的對比中看出:文章主旨問中心思想、文章大意,而寫作目的則闡述文章為何表達這個中心思想,等於文章大意+論述方法(或+作者口吻)。文章大意可以根據前面所述的方法找到。至於論述方法,可以根據高考閱讀理解的主體文章確定一些。
advice…(建議,勸告)
argue for(論證),argue against(駁斥)(這兩種答案僅適用於議論文體裁)
convice…(說明)
present…(闡述)
propose…(建設)
warn…(警告)
既然全文的寫作目的與文章的主旨密切相關,那麼段落的寫作目的也與段落的大意密切相關,只有反映了段落大意的答案才是段落的寫作目的。
3、作者態度
解作者態度(attitude)或語氣(tone)題,關鍵在於把握作者對全文主體事物(與主題有關)或某一具全事物的態度。表達作者態度——褒義、中性和貶義的手段主要有1)加入形容詞定語;2)加入副詞狀語;3)特殊動詞。英語中有些動詞也表明說話者的正負態度,如:fail(未能)、ignore(忽視)、overestimate(估計過高)等動詞表示一種負態度。由上可知,確定作者態度,可以有兩種思路:問全文主體事物的(包括主題),可以根據闡述主題或有關主體事物的相關句中的形容詞、副詞或動詞確定作者的態度;如果問的是對某一具體事物的態度,則可以定位到具體相關句,然後確定答案。
二、細節題——多種多樣,細心對待
所謂細節題,是指原文提到了某事物、現象或理論,題於針對原文具體敘述本身發問。這類題的表現形式多種多樣,不妨總結如下:
1、是非題
出題形式:
三正一誤(三項正確,只有一項不符合原文內容):
Which of the following is true except…?
Which of the following is mentioned except…
三誤一正(三項錯誤,只有一項符合原文內容):
Which of the following is true?
解題方法:
1)定位法
根據題干或選項中的線索詞回原文,找到相關句,與選項相比較確定答案。
2)固定思路
這種做題方法主要與三正一誤的下列問法相聯系:
Which of the following mentioned except…
Which of the following is not mentioned…?
這種問題的正確選項所包含的信息通常連續出現在同一段,而且往往無列舉標志詞,如first,second,third等。做題時只需閱讀有關段落,根據一個選項中的關鍵詞在其前後找其他兩個正確先項,剩下一個原文中未提到的,為正確答案。
2、例證題
例子為高考閱讀理解的常見考點之一,這類題的基本結構為The author provides in line…(或Paragraph…)an example in order to…意思是問文中舉出某現象或例子的目的。高考閱讀理解文章如果是說明文和議論文,文章中舉出一些例子無非是為了說明一定的道理。關鍵在於這個例子在原文出現的位置,但不管如何,這個例子之前或之後不遠處通常都有一句總結說明性的話,這句話就是答案,即舉例的目的。如果例子與全文主題有關,則例證主題,答案為主題句。如果例子與段落主題有關,就例證段落主題,則答案為段落主題句;此外,答案為例子前後總結說明性的話。
3、其他形式的具體題
1)定義
定義可以分為兩種:
a.與主題有關的篇章定義,理解它有助於做主旨題。
b.具體定義對中某個現象或術語加以定義,有時成為詞義題的考試內容。
2)年代與數字
這個考點有幾種出題方式,但不管以何種形式出現,只要題干問年代與數字,答案就對應於文章中的年代與數字。
3)比較
比較考點的表現形式主要有:
a.比較級與含有比較意義的詞彙手段和句型結構;
b.表示絕對意義的字眼:
first(第一),least(最不),uttermost(最)等;
c.表示惟一性的詞彙:only,unique等;
閱讀最最好能圈草表示最高級、惟一性和絕對意義的詞彙,便於做題對回原文定位。
4)原因
這種題的答案在原文通常有一些表示因果關系的詞彙手段提示:1)表示因果關系的名詞:result,reason;2)表示因果關系的動詞:result in(結果),result from(由於,由),base…on…(以……為基礎),be e to (由於);3)表示因果關系的連詞或介詞:because,for,why;4)表示因果關系的副詞;as a result,consequently等,閱讀時對這些提示詞應該予以注意。
除了上述原文有因果關系提示詞的顯性原因考點之外,隱性原因(兩個句子之間為因果關系,但無有關提示詞)也是常見考點。不管是顯性原因考點,還是隱性原因考點,原文相關句出現的格式都是先說原因,後說結果,而在題干中通常給出結果,就其原因提問。
三、詞義題——學會推斷
要做好這類題,首先必須熟練掌握中學英語教學大綱列出的約2000個詞彙與一定數量的短文,這是最起碼的要求。其次,掌握必要的做題技巧也很重要。不過詞義題中所考單詞的意義通常超出大綱,所以根據上下文推斷詞彙的能力在考試中顯得尤其重要。這種能力可以通過下列幾種方法加強:
1、破解詞彙本身的意義
如何破解詞本身的意義呢?方法之一是掌握構詞法的基本知識。不僅平時可以用這個方法記憶大綱中的詞彙,考試時也可以用這個方法推測詞彙意義。假如對英語詞彙中包含的前綴、後綴和詞根的含義或功能比較了解,就能較准確地推測出它們相互組合形成的整體詞義。
2、利用一下文線索
除了以構詞法破解詞彙的意義以外,做詞義題用得更多的方法是根據上下文所提供的線索詞義。這里的上下文指該詞所在的句子本身,也包括這個句子的上下句或更遠的上下文。一般而言,上下文線索所提示的意義與所考詞彙的關系要麼為同義關系,要麼為反義關系。假如二者為同義關系,那麼所考詞彙的意思就是線索提示詞的意思;假如二者為反義關系,所考詞彙的意思就是線索提示詞的反義。
3、利用語法和邏輯
有時根據上下文提代的線索或者其他方法,仍然不能得到唯一答案,就可以利用語法和邏輯方面的規則來判斷,符合語法和邏輯規則的可能為正確答案,反之則不是正確答案。
4、指代題
指代題作為詞義題的一種,也是常見題型之一。解這類題,要注意代詞批代總的原則——就近指代:代詞指代在性(陰性或陽性)、數(單數或復數)、格(主格或賓格)、邏輯、意義、位置等方面與之接近的名詞。就位置而言,如上所述,代詞所指代的名詞通常在本句或其上句之中;就數而言,單數代詞指代單數名詞,復數代詞指代復數名詞,例如:it 指代單數名詞(單數可數名詞或不可數名詞),也可指代一個句子;they指代復數名詞主格;them指代復數名詞賓格;one指代單可數名詞等。除了位置、性、數和格等方面的要求外,邏輯和意義也是衡量的標准,也就是說,正確的答案應該從意義(主要指語法搭配)上和邏輯(主要指思想內容)上而言都通順。
四、推理題——考識別能力
推理題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎上,作出一定判斷和推論,從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義。推理題所涉及的內容可能是文中某一句話,也可是某幾句話,但做題的指導思想都是以文字信息為依據,既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根據的推理,也不能根據表面文字信息做多步推理。所以,推理題的答案只能是根據原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即對原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫(paraphrase)或綜合。推理題的目的是考識別能力,並不涉及復雜的判斷和推理。因此,其主要做法是:根據題干中的關鍵詞或選項中的線索找到原文的相關句,讀懂後,比照選項,對相關句進行同義改寫或綜合概括的選項為正確答案。做題時要注意題乾的語言形式,如According to the passage,——It can be inferred from the passage that——;It can be concluded from the passage that——等,雖然從表面上看是問有關全文的題,但實際上不用看全篇,仍然只需要根據選項中的線索找到原文中與之相關的一句話或幾句話,然後得出答案。針對推理題的不同形式,可以採取以下做法:1.假如題干中有具體線索,根據具體線索找到原文相關句(一句或幾句話),然後做出推理;2.假如題干中無線索,如It can be inferred from the passage that——;It can be concluded from the passage that——等,先掃一下4個選項,排除不太可能的選項,然後根據最可能的選項中的關鍵詞找到原文相關句,做出推理;3.如果一篇文章中其他題都未涉及文章主旨,那麼推理題,如infer, conclude題型,可能與文章主旨有關,考生應該定位到文章主題所在位置(如主題句出現處);假如其他題已經涉及文章主旨,那麼要求推斷出來的內容可能與段落主題有關,如果如此,應該找段落主題所在處;如果不與段落主題有關,有時與全文或段落的重要結論有關,這時可以尋找與這些結論相關的原文敘述。

Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri?鄄beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (細菌) caused beri?鄄beri. He raised some chickens. He didn』t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精煉米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (維生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person』s food.
Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don』t, they can also take vitamin pills.

C ★★
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don』t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
66. The writer of this passage must be ______.
A. an American B. a Chinese
C. a professor D. a student
67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
68. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.
A. warmly welcomed at the airport
B. offered a ride to his home
C. treated hospitably at his home
D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
69. The underlined words 「generous with our time」 in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.
A. strict with time B. serious with time
C. careful with time D. willing to spend time
70. A suitable title for this passage would probably be 「______」.
A. Friendships between Chinese
B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans』 hospitality
D. Americans』 and Chinese』s views of friendships

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
「I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can』t even understand a bit of music.」
「I』m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.」
But, one younger musician said, 「There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I』m trying to find other places to play. I』m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.」
I』ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they』re positive or negative, they』re rubbing off on you. If you』re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (責怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it』s time to take a look at the people you call 「friends」.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (標准) for yourself and don』t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you』re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
71. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed
B. How to make friendship last for ever
C. You are who your friends are
D. Friends are the most important in one』s success
72. The underlined sentence 「they』re rubbing off on you」 in Paragraph 6 means ______.
A. they』ll push you ahead
B. they』ll influence you
C. they』ll cover your shortcomings
D. they』ll help you achieve your goal
73. The musicians』 words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A. the musicians』 living conditions are quite poor
B. people have poor taste in music
C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing

Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia』s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile』s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.
Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (撲), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.
Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.
Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (傷口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.
Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called 「What Color is Your Parachute (降落傘)?」 by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (職業) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world』s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let』s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren』t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探討它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don』t fing, grocers don』t groce, and hammers don』t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn』t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That』s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看見的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
71. According to the passage ______.
A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
B. there should be egg in an eggplant
C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
D. boxing rings should be round
72. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.
73. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. A wise man and a wise guy.
B. Overlook and oversee.
C. Quite a lot and quite a few.
D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
74. The underlined words 「wind up」 in the last paragraph probably mean 「______」.
A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish
75. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.
A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. ll
