【正文】 （英語）高中英語閱讀理解解題技巧分析及練習(xí)題(含答案)一、高中英語閱讀理解1．閱讀理解 Three boys were enjoying themselves in their hometown of Bovina, Mississippi .However, their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齒乳象). Brothers Shawn and Caid Sellers and cousin Michael Mahalitc found the prehistoric bone in a piece of earth that was recently plowed (犁、耕).I thought it was a log, Caid said. I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it. The bone weighed about 50 pounds. They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone. They didn39。t expect to find that, Michael39。s mom said. Now that they have, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what they39。re digging up when they are digging and playing. We39。ve gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and that39。s what I thought it was, the brothers39。 mother said. This is our first set of teeth we39。ve found. So we thought it was their imagination. We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination. They were exploring near the brothers39。 home. Lo and behold (真想不到), they saw what they thought resembled a fossil. It was the curator of paleontology (古生物負(fù)責(zé)人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a very mature individual. The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric times. They had long tusks and trunks, like elephants. They were clearly different from their modernday counterparts, as well as woolly mammoths (猛犸).（1）How did they find the jawbone of a Mastodon? A.With great efforts.B.By chance.C.Instructed by an expert.D.Through imagination.（2）At first the brothers39。 mother thought the jawbone was . A.from people who died in the Civil WarB.the bone from a very mature individualC.like a log or somethingD.the prehistoric bone（3）The discovery of the jawbone of a Mastodon is important mainly because it . A.helps people to know more about the Civil WarB.teaches kids to be more aware of their surroundingsC.promotes the research on more prehistoric creaturesD.attracts the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A.Prehistoric Bones Recently Found in MississippiB.Not Petrified Wood Nor Civil War RelicsC.First Identifying Bone as a Very Mature IndividualD.Unexpectedly Discovering Mastodon Jawbone【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，美國(guó)密西西比的三個(gè)男孩在玩耍的時(shí)候無意中發(fā)現(xiàn)了齒乳象的顎骨，起初他們并不知道這是史前生物的遺骸，所發(fā)現(xiàn)的遺骸對(duì)史前生物的研究有較強(qiáng)的促進(jìn)作用。（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段“Three boys were enjoying themselves in their hometown of Bovina, Mississippi .However, their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齒乳象).”可知他們是在玩耍的時(shí)候無意中發(fā)現(xiàn)齒乳象的顎骨的。故選B。（2）考查判斷推理。根據(jù)第四段中的“We39。ve gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and that39。s what I thought it was”可知之前他們?cè)?jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)過一些石化的木材以及內(nèi)戰(zhàn)時(shí)的遺物，所以他的母親認(rèn)為這次他們發(fā)現(xiàn)的還是內(nèi)戰(zhàn)里死亡的人的遺物。故選A。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“ It was the curator of paleontology (古生物負(fù)責(zé)人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a ‘very mature individual.’”“可知齒乳象的顎骨的發(fā)現(xiàn)可以促進(jìn)對(duì)史前生物的研究。故選C。（4）考查主旨大意。本文是一篇記敘文，美國(guó)密西西比的三個(gè)男孩在玩耍的時(shí)候無意中發(fā)現(xiàn)了史前巨物齒乳象的顎骨，起初他們并不知道這是史前生物的遺骸，所發(fā)現(xiàn)的遺骸對(duì)史前生物的研究有較強(qiáng)的促進(jìn)作用。故選D?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。2．閱讀理解 Education is not a bystanders sport. Numerous researchers have shown that when students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudes toward school, and that positive attitudes promote learning. It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom discussion and score lower than boys on SATs. We found that at all grade levels in all munities and in all subject areas boys controlled classroom munication. They participated in more interactions than girls did, and their participation became greater as the year went on. Our research contradicted the traditional assumption that girls control classroom munication in reading while boys in math. We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math and science, boys got more than their fair share of teacher attention. That teachers talk more to male students is simply because boys are more aggressive in grabbing their attention by calling out answers to the teachers39。 questions first. While girls sit patiently with their hands raised or keep silent. Psychologist Lisa Serbin and O39。Leary, then at the state university of New York at stony brook studied classroom interaction at preschool level and found that teachers gave boys more attention, praised them more often and were at least twice as likely to have extended conversations with them. Years of experience have shown that the best way to learn something is to do it yourself. It is also important to give students specific and direct feedback about the quality of their work and answers. Teachers behave differently depending on whether boys or girls are active to provide answers during discussions. During classroom discussion, teachers in our study reacted to boys answers with powerful, precise and effective responses, while they often gave girls mild and unclear reactions because of their silence. Too often, girls remain in the dark about the quality of their answers. Active students receiving precise feedback are more likely to achieve academically. And they are more likely to be boys. This kind of munication game is played at work, as well as at school. As reported in numerous studies, it goes like this. Men speak more often and frequently interrupt women. Listeners recall more from male speakers th
