That39。s the future our foremothers fought for.”每個人都應(yīng)該很幸運,能夠決定自己穿什么,如何度過時間。這就是我們的祖先為之奮斗的未來,可知,作者認為在日常生活中擁有選擇的自由是我們的祖先為之奮斗的未來。故選B。 (2)考查代詞指代。根據(jù)第十三段中的“If you were taking care of a family, waiting on your husband, you had no time to follow your dreams, unless you made that your dream.”如果你要照顧一個家庭,服侍你的丈夫,你就沒有時間去追求你的夢想,除非你把它當成你的夢想,可知,that指代的其實是前面的內(nèi)容,也就是taking care of a family, waiting on your husband。故選C。 (3)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第十四段中的“A lot of women took that approach. We call it Stockholm Syndrome now.”很多女性采取了這種方式。我們現(xiàn)在稱之為Stockholm Syndrome,可知,我們現(xiàn)在把1950s很多女性接受了這個方式生活下去的這個現(xiàn)象稱作Stockholm Syndrome。根據(jù)上文可知,1950s很多女性的生活方式則是——照顧家庭、服侍丈夫、沒有時間去追求自己的夢想,這對女性來講是不公平的,故選A。 (4)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“I think it39。s important to remember that being a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothers and mothers fought against.”我認為重要的是要記住,作為一個50年代的家庭主婦實際上是非常糟糕的,這是我們的祖母和母親所反對的。可知,作者認為20世紀50年代家庭主婦的生活很糟糕。故選C。 (5)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段中的“Holte has the chance to live out her fantasy. Not every woman in America is so lucky.”霍爾特有機會實現(xiàn)她的夢想。不是每個美國女人都這么幸運??赏浦?,在美國,并不是所有的女性都有機會追逐自己的夢想。故選B。 (6)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段“We still don39。t have pay equality and in many states, we still don39。t have autonomy over our own bodies. Poor women and women of color still lack the opportunities of their wealthy and white peers.”我們?nèi)匀粵]有薪酬平等,在許多州,我們?nèi)匀粵]有對自己身體的自主權(quán)。貧困婦女和有色人種婦女仍然缺乏與富裕和白人婦女同等的機會。由可知,作者寫這篇文章的主要目的是讓讀者注意到女性所面臨的情況,尤其是那些貧窮和有色人種的情況。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,代詞指代,詞義猜測和推理判斷四個題型的考查,是一篇教育類閱讀,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,從而選出正確答案。4.閱讀理解 Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of being better readers than those who don39。t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills. A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them, Donna George said. They are sadly mistaken. George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. It is better for children to hear things at a high level than where they are, George said. Parents are their child39。s first teacher. Parents help their children build listening, phonics, prehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them. Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy—television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Jones said that while her 14yearold daughter and 10yearold son enjoy reading, the television sometimes bees a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series. Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents39。 job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.(1)According to George, reading aloud to children ______. them correct mistakes helpful to their reading parents39。 first duty to their children get children out of television39。s attraction(2)The underlined word distraction (in Paragraph4) means something that can _____. children39。s reading skills children form the right habit of reading children interested in reading children concentrating on reading(3)What is important according to the fourth paragraph? skills. speed. materials. environment.(4)The best title for the passage would be ______. Spend More Time Reading with Parents Are Their Child39。s First Teacher Parents Make Their Child a Better Reader to Improve Children39。s Reading Ability【答案】 (1)B(2)D(3)D(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了經(jīng)常與父母一起閱讀的孩子更容易成為優(yōu)秀的閱讀者,在父母的幫助下,孩子們會提高閱讀技巧,并詳細闡述了父母如何使孩子成為更好的閱讀者。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Parents help their children build listening, phonics, prehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.”可知家長對孩子大聲的閱讀,會幫助他們建立聽力、發(fā)音、理解和詞匯技能。即家長對孩子大聲的閱讀對孩子的閱讀是有幫助的,故選B。 (2)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第四段中的“Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy—television and limit the time their children spend watching television.”可知電視是影響孩子閱讀的敵人,所以當Louise Joines14歲的女兒和10歲的兒子享受閱讀的快樂時,電視就會成為使他們分心的東西,所以distraction的意思是“分心”,故選D。 (3)考查推理判斷。第四段主要講了為了避免電視成為孩子閱讀的障礙,不建議在孩子的臥室安裝電視,而且列舉了Louise Jones的例子,為了避免電視使孩子分心,Louise Jones營造全家都讀書的氛圍。所以從本段可以知道閱讀環(huán)境是很重要的,故選D。 (4)考查主旨大意。主要講述了經(jīng)常與父母一起閱讀的孩子更容易成為優(yōu)秀的閱讀者,在父母的幫助下,孩子們會提高閱讀技巧。并詳細闡述了父母如何使孩子成為更好的閱讀者。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,詞義猜測,推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查,是一篇教育類閱讀,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。5.閱讀理解 There are around 600,000 vegans (素食者) in the UK. That39。s just over 1% of the population — an amount expected to increase to 25% by 2025. And if there39。s one type of food that Brits love, it is fast food. People in the UK love it so much that there was a 34% increase in the number of fast food outlets from 2010 to 2018. It39。s no surprise, then, that vegan fast food is also on the rise. Vegan fast food has bee big business. At Just Eat, an online food delivery pany, vegan orders more than doubled in 2018. Greggs, a chain of highstreet bakeries, named its vegan sausage roll the fastest selling product in six years. And big franchises such as McDonald39。s and KFC have announced meatfree chicken nuggets (雞塊) to e in the future. What39。s. driving this popularity? Katrina Fox, founder of Vegan Business Media, believes it39。s the result of the breaking down of stereotypes (成見). Vegan food is no longer seen as a bi
