第一节单项填空(共15小题;每小题l分,共15分) 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 2010年高考北京卷的单项填空15个小题涉及了时态语态(22、24、26、28)、虚拟语气(34)、情态动词(23)、非谓语动词(21、25)、名词性从句(31、32、33)、定语从句(27)、状语从句(30)、介词(29)、冠词(35)。 今年单选最大的特点是考点集中:动词相关考点八道题目;从句相关考点五道题目,只有两道细节考点。具体如下: 1、时态考点以四道题目(其中一道和被动语态相结合)位居榜首,这一点承习了去年的局面。 2、非谓语动词的两道题目都是对基本点的考查,分量显得略轻。 3、情态动词的考查设定在特定的情境中,没有任何悬念。 4、虚拟语气重出江湖。以对话体给出,混合时间的虚拟句,有一定难度,考查学生对非真实条件句的整体把握。 5、名词性从句独放异彩,出题数量之多,覆盖面之广堪称往年之最。宾语从句、表语从句、主语从句各出一道。 6、定语从句只有一道,但考查的不是基本点。 7、唯一的一道状语从句也不是对常见从属连词的考查。 8、从2006年开始,介词考点每年都会光顾北京卷,今年考的是常见介词的基本点。21. at my classmates' faces, I read the same excitement in their eyes.A. Looking B. Look C. To look D. Looked21. 答案:A考点:本题考查非谓语动词。解析:look与句子主语I为主动关系,因此用looking.22. In the spoken English of some areas in the US, the "r" sounds at the end of the words . A. are dropped B. drop C. are being dropped D. have dropped 22. 答案:A考点:时态和语态解析:the "r" sounds应该使用被动。23. ---Good morning. I've got an appointment with Miss Smith in the Personnel Department. --Ah, good morning. You be Mrs. Peters. A. might B. must C. would D. can 23.答案:B考点:本题考查情态动词在语境中的运用。解析:第一个说话人说和史密斯小姐有约,那下面的人就回应说,"那您一定就是Mrs. Peters了"因此排除A,C.D24. --I'm not finished with my dinner yet. --But our friends for us. A. will wait B. wait C. have waited D. are waiting 24. 答案:D考点:本题也是在语境中考查学生对时态的灵活运用。解析:第一个说话人说"我还没吃完饭呢",而下面的人则说"但是我们的朋友们都在等我们了"根据第一个人还没进行完吃饭的动作,而第二个人又开始催促,我们得知朋友们此时正在等他们。所以用进行时are waiting更符合句意。25. I'm calling to enquire about the position in yesterday's China Daily.A. advertised B. to be advertised C. advertising D. having advertised 25. 答案:A考点:本题考查非谓语动词。句意:我打电话来咨询下昨天中国日报上刊登职位的信息。解析:the position肯定是被advertise,此处的分词可以理解为一个定语从句which was advertised26. --I'm sorry, but I don't quite follow you. Did you say you wanted to return on September 20? --Sorry, I myself clear. We want to return on October 20.A. hadn't made B. wouldn't make C. don't make D. haven't made 26. 答案:D考点: 时态解析:上文说没听清是几号回来。而下文则说很抱歉我没说清楚。根据句意我们只能选didn't make或者haven't made.那落在选项中我们只能选择D。A. hadn't made过去完成时表过去的过去,不符合题意。B. wouldn't make过去将来时时态不正确。C一般现在时不正确。27. Children who are not active or diet is high in fat will gain weight quickly. A. what B. whose C. which D. that 27. 答案:B考点: 本题考查定语从句关系副词的选择。解析:不爱运动或者饮食热量偏高的孩子们会很快发胖。较简单。本定语从句不缺成分,为主系表结构,因此只能在考虑填关系副词。A中的What不能引导定语从句。选B. whose谁的,符合题意。28. It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate what they __ for me. A. had done B. did C. would do D. were doing 28. 答案:A考点:本题考查过去完成时和一般过去时的区别。解析:整个句子时态用的是一般过去时,我能够表示感谢就已经是过去,而他们对我的帮助则是过去的过去。因此选A。29. Would you mind not picking the flowers in the garden? They are everyone's enjoyment. A. in B. at C. for D. to 29. 答案:C考点:本题考查enjoyment的习惯用语。解析:for enjoyment为了寻求乐趣。例如:We work in the garden for enjoyment.我们为寻求乐趣而在园子里劳作。30. they decide which college to go to, students should research the admission procedures. A. As B. While C. Until D. Once 30. 答案:D考点:本题考查连词。解析:此题重在句意的判断。"一旦学生们决定了去哪所大学读书,他们就得研究下办理入学的手续。"A. As当;因为...B. while做连词强调一件事发生时另外一个动作正在进行;C. Until直到...D. Once一旦。因此选D31. I want to be liked and loved for I am inside. A. who B. where C. what D. how 31. 答案:C考点:解析:我想别人喜欢我是因为我的内在。也就是我inside的品质。只有what可以指代是什么。很多同学误选A,错误的用中文语言习惯去做英文题。32. Part of the reason Charles Dickens loved his own novel, David Copperfield, was __ it was rather closely modeled on his own life. A. what B. that C. why D. whether 32. 答案:B考点:本题考查表语从句。解析:从句不缺成分,因此用that来引导。句意:狄更斯喜欢他自己的小说大卫科波菲尔的部分原因是小说创作非常贴近他本人的真实生活。33. some people regard as a drawback is seen as a plus by many others.A. Whether B. What C. That D. How 33. 答案:B考点: 本题考查主语从句。句意:一些人眼中的缺点是别人眼中的优点。解析:从句中缺宾语,只能用B. what来引导. C.中的That引导主语从句不做成分。 34. --The weather has been very hot and dry. --Yes. If it had rained even a drop, things would be much better now! And my vegetables . A. wouldn't die B. didn't die C. hadn't died D. wouldn't have died 34. 答案:D考点:本题考查虚拟语气中队过去的虚拟。解析:第二个说话人的If条件句是我们选择正确答案的关键。要是当时下雨了,现在的情况就好的多了!我的蔬菜也就不会死了。过去没有下雨,所以我的蔬菜干死了也是发生在过去。而将句子还原则为If it had rained even a drop, my vegetables wouldn't have died. If+ had done,主句为couldn’t/ shouldn't/ wouldn't have done. 35. First impressions are the most lasting. After all, you never get __ second chance to make __ first impression. A. a; the B. the; the C. a; a D. the; a 35. 答案:A考点: 冠词解析:很多同学错在第二个空to make a first impression上了。在做题的时候不够细心,因为此题的句意是:第一印象是最持久的。总之,你永远不可能有第二个机会去再给别人留一次第一印象。本题强调的重点是第二个机会a second chance;第二次留一个第一印象,make a first impression. first为干扰因素。 若句意改变为:你没有机会去改变你的第一印象You never get a second chance to change the first impression。此处再填the就合情合理了。36.B考察连词及句子理解。前面unpleasant voice 和 direct way of speaking是消极意向,后面encouraging 和 inspiring是积极意向,因此需填转折连词,四个选项中A表并列,C表结果,D表原因,只有B选项yet表转折。37.A 考察名词及篇章理解。第二段第二句话“她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事情”直接提示了这个空应该选观点opinion这个词. 第二段倒数第四句话中也出现了这个词从而验证了其正确性。B. impression 印象、C. information 信息、D. intention 意图均不符合题意。38.C 考察动词及篇章理解。根据文章主线选择“处理”事情。考纲要求考生掌握handle 的两种意思,名词是“柄、把”,动词是“处理”,这里考察后者。A, 做、创造 B 保持 D改变 均不符题意。39.D 考察代词及句子理解。开始我不知如何回答是因为我对舞台设计“一无所知”。 know nothing about sth 对某事一无所知。40.A 考察名词及篇章理解。解题关键词是本句的 ”respond 回答、响应”, 线索是第二段第一句中的 “ask 提问”及第四句中的“answer 回答”, 因此这里填 “question 问题”这个词。BD选项是评论,C是解释,不符题意。41.D 考察动词及篇章理解。本句的them指代opinions 。form opinion形成观点 。hold opinion持有某种观点,form 是个变化的状态,hold是个持续的状态,根据文意推断作者开始并没有观点,由于她相信我有观点所以我形成了观点,强调形成这个过程,另外Begin to后接有变化感的词,故选form不选hold. B. follow 遵照,C .evaluate评估与题意差别较大。42.C 考察形容词及句子理解。解题线索在后半句 “so I began to show up to paint more and more ” 作者做的事情变多是Mrs. Neidl信任的结果,说明我是个可信赖(reliable)的人,C选项符合题意。其他三个选项happy 高兴的 lively活泼的和 punctual 准时的都不能表达出这种合理的因果关系。另外迷惑性较大的lively通常用来形容物。 43. B考察名词及句子理解。引号里是一句鼓励性质的话,而且前面“that year”也是线索,说明这话是她的motto座右铭。迷惑性较大的C选项saying是谚语的意思,往往是人们长期形成的对生活及经验的总结,强调群体性及时间性,故不合适,message 信息,suggestion 建议,不合题意。44.D 考察副词及篇章理解。本题难度较大,解题关键词是介词“over”,表覆盖。选择later 可以理解为“如果没有画好,稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上。” more更多, Instead 代替, 不合题意。迷惑性最大的是again.表示“再一次、又一次”但是放在这里与over意思重复,paint over it later相当于 paint it again, 故不选A。45.D 考察名词及篇章理解。take risks 固定搭配,冒险。通读全文发现作者是开始很不自信,第四段开头也提示了作者“shy” ,“quiet”,因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险,是自我突破的过程,文章最后一段也提到了take chances冒险,因此选D。take steps是采取措施、步骤的意思,与文章主题不搭,control 和 charge 都有控制的意思,不合题意。46.A 考察动词及句子理解。Improve upon 改进。线索是本段开头的座右铭“试试吧,我们永远可以重画一次。”因此不存在失败,只存在改进。Act upon按照、对…起作用,look upon 看待、考虑,reflect upon 考虑、回顾,均不符题意。47.C 考察副词及篇章理解。本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程,根据前文提示作者曾很不自信,后来在Mrs. Neidl的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔,因此选confidently. A easily 容易的。作者超越自我的过程并不容易。B carefully 小心地。创作并不是个小心翼翼的过程。D Proudly 骄傲地。文章中没有任何体现。48.B 考察动词。Be recognized as“被公认为、被承认”。 Introduce 介绍、引入,be identified as“ 被确定是”,有验证身份的意思,be considered as “被认为、被当作”。其中 be recognize as 有“被大家承认、被普遍接受”的意思,表意更准确。49.C 考察动词。解题关键词是“want ”。作者意识到自己想要的是什么,所以用realized. 迷惑项是decided 决定。可以说决定要什么,但不可以说决定想什么,因为想法是不可控制的。Confirm 证实 acknowledge 承认,与题意差别较大。50.A 考察介词。Being with sb 与某人在一起。这里不能选of是因为全文第一句话,Mrs. Neidl是“ one of the directors”,所以不能说是她的团队。Below 和 by 搭配错误。51.B 考察动词。发现了一项爱好和一个未知的世界,选discovered. 迷惑项是developed , 这个词可以与interest 连用表示形成了某种爱好,但是不可以与world连用表示“形成一个未知世界,”故排除。Take interest 取利,foster 培养,均不合适。52.B 考察动词及篇章理解。“她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做”,care 在乎,符合文意。Accept 接受,judge 判断 ,wonder 怀疑 均不合文意。53.D 考察形容词及句意理解。Be afraid害怕。前面说Take chance 冒险,后面理所当然说不要怕(失败),而且前文反复出现了afraid 这个词,是全篇的关键词。Bored 无聊的,lazy 懒惰的,sad 伤心的,在文中均无体现。54.A 考察名词及篇章理解。Trust 信任。通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs. Neidl对作者的信任,并在第三段明确使用了trust这个词,因此推断出答案。Patience 耐心,curiosity好奇心,interest兴趣,文中均无体现。55.C考察形容词及篇章理解。“她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不可能的事情”, “never imagined possible” 等于 “imagined impossible.” 认为不可能的,贴合文意。Accessible 容易取得的 enjoyable 有趣的 favorable 有利的赞同的 均不合文意。 60.C 判断推理题,难题。原文He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights..要通过划线处的具体描述总结出ambitious这个词:有抱负的。 61.D 细节题,较难题。困难之处在于不好定位原文,故用排除法。从选项中找关键词,逐个排查,得出正确选项D. 62.A 推断作者身份,较难题。此类型题目把握方法很简单:文章对象(主编)+人称(our),不难得出正确答案作者也是主编。 63.C 考查文章写作目的,较难题。抓住文章结尾是王道:Our best hope Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---everyone--is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential再结合前面60题的答案,不难选出正确答案。 C篇 阅读技巧:开篇复杂的人物关系,以及第三段几个国家之间的复杂对比是学生阅读的最大困难。攻略:1.动笔:中国学生对英语名字太不敏感,请划出来。2.再难读说明文的目标不变:找出文章说明对象是什么。 答题技巧:包括3个细节题和一个词义猜测题,其中65题细节比较排序题是亮点,要求学生从复杂的表述中理清顺序,区别出哪国人的说话节奏最快。 64.C细节题,难题。难在弄不清谁是S谁是B,耐心读,动笔划,从第一段得出正确答案并不难:Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation65.B 细节排序题,难题。还是耐心读,动笔划。S代表美国人,B代表英国人(加起来?),S比B期待谈话间隙时间更短,又在以色列人(Israelis)说话时插不上嘴,故答案选说话嗒嗒嗒嗒的以色列人。 66.C 变态细节题,较难题。A不符原文,B无中生有,D无中生有,C关键要理解culturally determined,由文化决定或者受文化影响。 67.A 词义猜测题,较难。难点在于A选项的干扰作用。原文说那位MM的inability to speak up注意别人认为她没能力,不是说她不愿意。所以D比A好,此处用反义对比方法。 D篇 阅读技巧:此篇议论文难度较低。把握议论文的阅读两步:1.作者想说服你什么?2.分了几个并列的点来说服你? 答题技巧:此篇包括2个推断题和1个细节题。其中68题要求学生找出them的所指,对学生分析代词的所指提出了更高的要求,此项技能在完型和阅读中都有体现;70题属于基于议论文结构的设问,问最后一段的例子在文章中的作用,对议论文的结构和写作模式有了解的同学都可以轻松应答。 68.B 推断代词所指,较难题。There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. ww往前看,发现前句就一个复数名词,就它了。 69.D 细节题,简单题。根据题干关键词"full government funding"定位原文,根据"文题顺序一致"原则从上一题them后面去找,会找到Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities….and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy. "lazy"转换成"spendless time"不难得出正确选项。 70.A 结构推断题,简单题。题目问提到business有什么目的,就等于问议论文中的论据有什么用,地球人都知道:支持论点。马上从本段段首找论点:Many people believe that higher education should be free…从全文的哪都可以看出作者就是要反对free higher education. E篇 阅读技巧:1.找说明对象(Muzak)2.找文章讲了说明对象的那些方面。 答题技巧:第一年出题果然不难,7选5只有74题稍难,其余4空都可以根据相邻句子间的指代关系、因果关系、并列关系,较容易地选出正确答案。 71.C 王道:看前后邻句。找不到再扩大范围找。 此题,前句没看头,看后句:It's similar to the music you listen to…捉住主语it及它对应的music,从7个句子中选出唯一用music开头的C句。 72.B 同样用指代的原则。前句when people are more tired.根据指代原则,确定答案在B和F里面:B. The music gives them extra energy. F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used. F明显不符合文章发展,提钱,俗!选B 73.F 利用因果关系 前句Why?其他人高兴什么?钱啊!从剩下的A,D,E,F里找原因,只能找出"钱"来。 74.D 这是唯一单纯看一句话找不出答案的题,也是5题中最难的题。 利用并列关系。前一句描述tired office workers,后一句描述supermarket shoppers,后句出现Supermarketshoppersbuy38percentmoregroceries.由此推断D为正确答案。Factoryworkersproduce13percentmore.主语和百分数都是一一对应关系。 75.A 利用并列原则,后面有But other people enjoy hearing…,故选择A. Some people don't like Muzak.这是送分题。 第四部分:书面表达 (共两节,35分)第一节 (情景作文(20分) One possible version: Lst weekend, I helped my grandparents prepare their trip to Beidaihe. On Saturday morning, together with my grandparents, I seached the Internet for the train schedule, the weather in Beidaile, and some hotel information.

高考英语阅读理解题解题技巧详解
英语阅读理解题的难度在不断增大,考生们也大多知难而进。下面是我为大家带来的高考英语阅读理解题解题技巧,欢迎阅读。
一、四选一型阅读
高考阅读不同文体按照题型分类主要分为五大类:细节题、推理题、主旨大意题、词义句意猜测题、结构顺序题。
1、细节题解题技巧
细节题,顾名思义,就是指针对文章的某个细节而设置的试题。细节题的命题方法很多,如可能是对某个细节用同义结构转换后进行考查、也可能是将文章中的几个细节(通常是四个)放在一起要求考生判断是非(选出正确的一项或选出错误的一项)或对几个细节进行排序等。解答这类试题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干或选项中的线索词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案(此时要特别注意一些常见的同义转换)。
现在围绕上述的定位理论,引申出几个小的技巧:
(1) 关键信息定位法。这个主要是细节题,如涉及到数字(日期、时间、价格等),就可以在文章中快速圈出数字,再找出目标数字及相对应的细节作息,还有人物姓名、地点名词等等,其他的还包括一些提示情节发展,或条纲性关键字眼,如First, Next, Finally等等。
As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. (2011年高考英语北京A篇)
What happened to the author in 2011?
A. She flew an airplane
B. She entered a competition
C. She went on a hot air balloon ride
D. She moved into a retirement community
解析:此题属典型细节题,通过题干中的时间in 2011不难定位到文中粗体字部分,很容易可以锁定正解为C。
(2) 同义定位法。英文中可以用Paraphrase表示。同义定位就是指问题所用的关键词和文中的不一致,但属于同义性质,同义转换其实是在关键间的基础上拐了个弯。
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. (2010年高考英语北京B篇)
What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A. Finding the news value of his stories.
B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues.
D. Improving his good ideas.
解析:此题属细节题,定位方式为同义定位法。题干中的talks和文章中conversations对应,而want most和longs for对应,这样不难得出答案为D。
小结:在阅读中,精准快速的定位加上正确的理解力才能保证做题的量与质。定位法是需要在做题的过程中有意识的培养的,做题的技巧也是可以总结的,关键是要自觉培养这种分析归纳和总结的意识以及能力。
2、推理题解题技巧
推断题定义:在理解原文字面意思的基础上,通过对语篇逻辑关系的分析和细节的暗示,做出一定的判断和推理,从而得到文章的深层意义及隐含意义的过程。
出现特征:在考题中经常出现的词有infer, imply, indicate, conclude, learn from, probably, most likely, prove /according to等。
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We're moving house.'; “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house? (2010年高考英语北京A篇)
A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.
解析:由题目得知:是考察作者的态度题。首先定位到文章作者的话语和行为,即
(1) No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway.
(2) We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present.“
(3) People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
可知作者对它是正的情感,排除C,D.再由作者对它的不舍,答案选B
3、主旨大意题解题技巧
Topic/Title型-使用逆推法
(1) 要在阅读原文基础上,仔细考虑选项是否与文章主题有密切联系
(2) 再看选项对文章的概括性或覆盖面如何
(3) 要注意题目是否过大或者过小
(4) 要避免下列三种错误
概括不够(多表现为部分代整体,导致范围过小)
过度概括(多表现为扩大范围)
以事实、细节代替抽象概括的大意。
Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have been popular in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry's trade association, CTIA, estimates(估计) more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.
“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said, following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alert system by carriers -telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.
There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.
The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats”, which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be for child abduction (绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.( 2008年高考英语山东卷B篇)
66. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students
B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry
C. Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters
D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon
解析:D。主旨大意题。第一段开门见山,提出将创建一个全国性的短信警报系统;最后一段重申主题,对这种新系统的未来进行展望。因此最准确的标题是D。A项错在protecting students;B项错在by wireless industry;C项错在National Disasters。
4、词义句意题解题技巧
要求考生通过阅读上下文,结合中学生应有的赏识来推测尚不熟悉的词或者词组的意思。出现特征:划线或者引号
解题方法之一:根据上下文,往往是本句中的同位关系进行猜测。
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
62. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.(2012年北京,B篇,62,答案D)
A. annoyed B. ashamed C. ready D. eager
解析:从burning这个词来说,意为“发热的,强烈的,燃烧的`”,后面紧跟动词词组“find out”说明在寻找时刻的心情是很紧张和急迫的,最后是一个宾语从句,是我曾经做错过什么,那么这个题目显然就是选择和“渴望的,热切的”词义,显然为D选项。
5、结构顺序题解题技巧
常见提问方式:
How is the passage organized?
Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
The author develops the passage mainly by….
解题思路:
(1) 注意主题段。主题段通常在文章的开头,简要概括文章的中心思想,
(2) 找出或者总结每段的主题句。主题句可能在段落的开头,也可能出现在段落的中间或末尾。如何确定主题句的方法见主旨题之main idea型。
(3) 最后根据每段主题确定段与段之间的结构关系,承上启下,使文章行文连贯,逻辑严密。为突出主题,作者可能采用不同的写作手法来组织文章,通过举例、比较、类比等手法来透彻阐明主题观点。
The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place
Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically(身体上).
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calories only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them. (2008高考英语北京卷E篇)

二、七选五型阅读
考生需要在语篇信息存在缺失的情况下,准确理解整篇文章,特别是设题部位前后句的逻辑关系,通过上下文的线索进行判断,预测下文,然后做出正确判断。
命题分析:我们如果把整篇文章看成一个信息群,这个信息群实际上是由两大信息版块构成的:
已知信息:原文在五处空缺之外的没有被挖掉的信息
待选信息:七个待选选项中的信息
这两个信息板块间绝不是孤立的,而是有紧密的互动逻辑关系,连起来是一篇完整的文章。
考试题型对学生的考察能力来看无外乎两个方面:
(1) 把握整篇文章的布局和逻辑层次关系
(2) 把握微观信息间关联性(即空格前后句间关系)
解题方法:词汇同现、词汇复现、代词妙用、数字线索、逻辑线索。
Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? _____ (71) It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called “elevator (电梯) music” because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” everyday. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired.______ (72)
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? _____ (73)
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. _____ (74)Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.
_____ (75)They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!( 2010年高考英语北京卷)
A. Some people don't like Muzak.
B. The music gives them extra energy.
C. Music is playing in the background.
D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F. They ge t as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.
G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.
答案:CBFDA
代词妙用:代词指代前面提到的thing, 所以只要找到与代词含义一致的词就可搞定。
71空格后面出现“It's similar to the music you listen to,”那么我们只要分析出其中的“it”的具体指代即可,通过题目及略读下文,我们很容易知道该文介绍一种音乐,而且第一段故作悬念,一直未给出其名字,所以我们只要找到选项中包含音乐一词而没有点名缪扎克一词的即可,很容易锁定BC选项,因为B项意义与下文相去甚远,故舍B取C没商量。
75空格后出现“They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time.”,同理,我们就要确定“they”的具体指代,首先由于“say”的出现,我们锁定“they”为人的复数,所以轻松锁定ADF,所谓真金不怕火来炼,D显然逻辑不通,F由于其主语也为人,段落第一句永远不会出现意思不明的代词(we, you 除外,因为它们可以明确指代广义的人),故轻松排除F选出真金A。
72此题虽然不是明显的后文出现代词,但其前亦有代词出现,“It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning,”下文承接上文,肯定有联系,找出“it”的具体指代-the music, 轻松选出B项。(注:也可应用词汇复现法)
词汇复现法:情非得已时选择的一种方法,知道与前后文中有词汇重复的选项即可,有时也可指含义一致的词汇,如72
73前文中“but others are happy when their songs are chosen”有“their songs”, F项亦有相同词汇出现,放进去,意思通晓明白,搞定。
74后文中“Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.有”percent more“,D项亦有相同词汇出现,且意思连贯,选出即可。
72题中前句中出现”when people are more tired. “能够与”tired“相对应的四选项中只有”energy“,累了对应能量,亦可做出此题。
