【正文】 最新高二英語閱讀理解(社會文化)技巧 閱讀訓(xùn)練策略及練習題(含答案)含解析一、高中英語閱讀理解社會文化類1．閱讀理解 There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at , you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others. TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a onetime event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spinoff conferences address narrower issues. The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to offer free knowledge from the world39。s most inspired thinkers, as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages. The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world. TED, of course, isn39。t immune to criticism. It39。s been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It39。s been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference39。s host afterward. The plaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, longrunning organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED39。s website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.（1）What is the main topic of the article? case against TED39。s on TED today. and cons of . is TED（2）Which of the following statements is NOT true?

It39。s been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices.”當然，TED也免不了受到批評。它因其高昂的票價被稱為精英主義；以及最后一段中的“And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED39。s website.”而當這么多東西在泰德的網(wǎng)站上免費贈送時，精英主義的指責就顯得空洞了。可推斷出，TED因給予富人或有權(quán)勢的人特殊待遇而受到批評，故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.”不管它的缺點是什么，TED都是那些尋找它的人鼓舞人心的信息來源?？赏茢喑觯@位作者可能認為TED是有益的，故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。2．閱讀理解 In Korea, it is rude to wear shoes inside someone39。s house because it is considered dirty. In Saudi Arabia, you should not bring food to someone39。s house because taking food or drink suggests that you think the host cannot afford the meal. More and more people around the world are travelling abroad to study, to go on vacation, or to work, and while it can be a great way to learn about other cultures, there may be times when travelers accidentally annoy their host. The same gesture can have very different meanings in different countries. The gesture meaning OK in the United States means something pletely different in Brazil as Ella Yao discovered. Ella had travelled to Brazil to study and was living with a host family. During dinner, her host asked Ella if she was enjoying the meal. Because her mouth was full of food, Ella made a sign with her hand that to her meant OK. Although Ella meant the food was good, this symbol in Brazilian culture is extremely rude and her host was deeply annoyed. While travelling in Thailand, Elizabeth Brown learned that there are differences in food in the United States and Thailand. She stopped at a small, familyowned restaurant in Chiang Mai and ordered spring rolls. She was really enjoying eating them until she got the last one and noticed that there was an insect inside. She plained to the server. Later, she discovered that although insects are disgusting to most Americans, they are considered a delicacy(佳肴) in some countries. All these mistakes can be avoided with some research on cultural differences before you go abroad. However, if you do accidentally annoy someone, quickly apologize, and learn from your mistake.（1）For what reason did Ella make her host angry?A.She spoke with her mouth full.B.Her host misunderstood her gesture.C.She didn39。t like the meal her host prepared.D.Her host didn39。t like using body language.（2）What happened to Elizabeth Brown in a Thai restaurant?A.She ate an insect.B.She was badly treated.C.She argued with the server.1
