(英語)高考英語閱讀理解(社會(huì)文化)易錯(cuò)剖析一、高中英語閱讀理解社會(huì)文化類1.閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 Although not as much as in the past, grandparents are the teachers of the Navajo (納瓦霍人) youth. They make young people aware of life at an early age. The parents grant them the privilege of teaching the children, and the grandparents take great pride in raising the children or at least having a big part in raising them. Young children often stay with their grandparents for years at a time developing a close and trusting relationship. The grandparents teach the children Navajo legends and the principle of life, emphasizing both new culture trends and the preservation of traditions. The grandparents are also often the leading figures in teaching the youth the arts of weaving, caring for the livestock, using herbal medicine, and other arts and crafts. The children are taught to respect their elders, to care for them, to help them whenever they are in need, and to learn from them. Young people are urged to listen with care to the words of their elders and to keep as much wisdom as possible. Grandparents often go to social gatherings and traditional events, and the young have opportunities to learn more about their culture and traditions. I live with my grandmother for thirteen years, and she raised me in the old ways of our people. Although I was going to school, she taught me as much as she could about our traditions. She was a beautiful woman. If I had a chance, I would listen again to her wise teachings, expressed with kindness in a soft voice that touched my heart. We used to plant corn and pumpkin every summer. They never grew big enough to feed us, but we planted them anyway. I asked my grandmother why. She said, Grandson, our plants will be far more beautiful than the flowers outside the fence. I did not understand until one day I saw their beauty as I was ing over the hill with her. She said, Anything that is a part of you is always far more beautiful than the things which you pass by. We had some beautiful years together. I am glad she is a part of me and I am a part of her. Children used to be well disciplined, possessing more respect for culture, tradition, and beliefs than they do now. The world of the Navajo has been influenced by the western world, and the grandparents have less control and influence than they used to. But the young people who have been touched by their teachings have glimpsed a way of life beyond what most people know today.(1)What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

They make young people aware of life at an early age.可知,祖父母?jìng)兪悄贻p人的老師,使年輕人在很小的時(shí)候就認(rèn)識(shí)生活。故選D。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第六段中的Grandson, our plants will be far more beautiful than the flowers outside the fence.以及 Anything that is a part of you is always far more beautiful than the things which you pass by.可知,祖母種植玉米和南瓜是為了讓作者明白一個(gè)生活的道理:任何屬于你的東西,總是比你路過的東西更美。從而推斷出祖母是想讓她的孫子學(xué)到人生的一課。故選D。 (3)考查推理判斷。第一段提出“納瓦霍人的孫子輩主要由祖父母來教育,他們?cè)趽狃B(yǎng)孩子方面起了很大的作用”,接著對(duì)此進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)的介紹。最后一段“那些被他們的祖父母教導(dǎo)所感動(dòng)的年輕人,已經(jīng)發(fā)找到了一種大多數(shù)人今天所不知道的生活方式”。由此可推斷出本文主要介紹了納瓦霍人的一種文化:由祖父母?jìng)兘逃龑O子輩,讓他們認(rèn)識(shí)生活,學(xué)到其中的道理。故選A。 (4)考查主旨大意。第一段中的grandparents are the teachers of the Navajo (納瓦霍人) youth.

Beside him is a desperate mother yelling at the top of her lungs. Raising a wellbehaved kid is really a headscratching thing. If you took all the parenting styles around the world and ranked them by their gentleness, the Inuit (因紐特人) approach would certainly rank near the top. All the moms mention one golden role: Don39。t shout or yell at small children. Inuit39。s noyelling policy is their central ponent to raising coolheaded kids. The culture views scolding, or even speaking to children in all angry voice, as inappropriate, although little kids are pushing parents39。 buttons. Playful storytelling is another trick to sculpting kids39。 behavior. But this storytelling differs hugely from those fairy tales full of moral lessons. Parents retell what happened when a boy threw a tantrum(發(fā)脾氣)by way of what Shakespeare would understand all too well: putting on a drama. After the child has calmed down, the parents will review what happened when the child misbehaved, usually starting with a question: Can you show us how to throw a tantrum? Then the child has to think what he should do. If he takes the bait and performs the action, the mom will ask a followup question with a playful tone. For example: Does that seem right? or Are you a baby? She is getting across the idea that big boys won39。t throw a tantrum. Kids39。 brains are still developing the circuitry needed for selfcontrol. What you do in response to your children39。s emotions shapes their brains. So next time, seeing your boy misbehave, try using the Inuit39。s storytelling approach. And don39。t forget to keep cool. After all, boys will be boys.(1)Which of the following best explains pushing parents39。 buttons underlined in Paragraph 2? A.Talking with parents.16
