I told the shopkeeper. ?Please do not do that, sir?, said Mr. Hopkins. ?This is a special place for special people. You must keep this shop a secret.?

浙江卷高考英语真题及答案(word精校版)(3)

许多人把英语学科看成文科，以为不需要数学思维。但高考英语阅读理解中的数学题，恰是一种将语言和数学相结合的题目。从数学角度看，高考英语阅读理解中的数学题难度不高，但陷阱不少。下面以一些历年高考英语真题、模拟题的相关题型为例，分析题目特点，总结解题方法。

2019年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试2卷C篇第28题如下：

What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?

A. Food variety.

B. Eating habits.

C. Table manners.

D. Restaurant service.

此题问的是第2段中的数据反映什么。原文第2段如下：

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half（53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore，74 percent，according to statistics from the report.

原文讲的是46%的人独自用餐（被动语态），超过53%的人独自吃早餐，46%的人独自吃午餐。74%的人会群聚吃晚餐。由此可知这些数据反映的是人们的用餐习惯，因此对应的是B。

2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试1卷阅读理解C篇第30题如下：

How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present

A.About 6 800 ?

B.About 3 400

C.About 2.400 ?

D.About 1-200

题干中的关键词是languaged, spoken , at present以及重要的数字6000。 在一篇英语文章中找数字比找单词容易，我们可以很容易找到原文中的6000这个数字。

原文The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6.000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.

此段讲的是语言使用者的中位数是6000，这意味着世界上一半的语言被少于那（个数字）的人所使用。

能否做对此题便取决于考生能否理解“中位数”这一概念。哪怕考生不懂统计学，也可以从字面义大约推断出来。百度百科对“中位数”的定义解释是：“中位数（Median）又称中值，统计学中的专有名词，是按顺序排列的一组数据中居于中间位置的数。” 套回这篇文章，按使用人数从低到高排列，每种语言各有不同的使用人数，那么排在中间的语言的使用人数就是中位数。那么总共有多少种语言呢？本段首句已经揭示----At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. 因此本题答案就是6800的一半即3400，选B。

有的考生会思虑深远。因为这段话中间部分列举了不同地区多种语言的使用人数，于是考生可能会花时间去计算出这些语言的使用总人数，再来除以2。这样虽然也能算出正确答案，但是绕了远路，答案其实就是本段首句。

2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试1卷D篇第34题如下：

Which of the following uses the least energy?

A. The box-set TV.

B. The tablet.

C. The LCD TV.

D. The desktop computer.

这道题看起来不是直接的数学计算题，但实际上对应的是不同年代的电器。原文如下：

We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.

此段最后一句非常关键，即在做同样的事情时，过时的电器比新电器消耗更多的能源。也就是说，最新发明的电器，耗能越少。由常识可知，上述四类电器中，最新发明的是tablet平板电脑，因此选B。

2020届天河区普通高中毕业班综合测试（二）英语卷阅读理解A篇有一道数学题：

How much should they pay if a school party of 15 persons book tickets?

A.$135

B.$126

C.$90

D.$84

这篇文章主要讲了一个剧院的票价。如果要正确解出答案，由于文章里包含了面对不同人群的多种优惠标价，因此考生第一是要锁定哪一荐是对就school的，第二是看看具体细则。

原文：Schools:school parties of ten or more can book $9 tickets in advance and will get every 10th ticket free.

翻译：大于或等于10人的学校团队可以享受每张9美元的预订票价，并且每10张票的第10张免费。

分析：这句话代表如果买10张票，那么实际付的是9张票的钱。15人买票，则要支付14张票的钱，即9美元*14=126美元。

最后来一道与时间有关的练习题，欢迎大家在留言区回答哦！

2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试2卷A篇

23.How?long?does?Potty?about?Potter?last?

A. Two?days. B. Four?days.

C. Five?days. D. One?week.

原文

Potty about Potter(POT)

Visit Warner Bros Studio, shop stop to buy picnic, stay overnight in an approved Youth Hostel in Streatley-on -Thames, guided tour of Oxford to see the film locations, picnic lunch outside Oxford’s Christchurch, boating on the River Cherwell through the University Parks, before heading back to Exeter.

As Mac pedaled (骑行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday.

上海高中英语阅读理解及答案

Can a small group of drones guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today's "eyes in the sky" technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.

一小群无人机可以保证铁路的安全和可靠性，同时帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元吗？这就是应用当今“空中之眼”技术确保全世界数百万公里的铁路轨道和基础设施全天候安全的未来。

Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient across the board.

无人机已经被用来检查高压电线。它们可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面，如铁路轨道和变轨点的正确位置。越是定期检查，铁路的安全性、可靠性和准时性就越高。全面削减成本，提高运营效率。

That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.

这可以节省大量维护成本，更好地保护铁路人员安全。据计算，仅欧洲铁路维护每年就要花费约200亿欧元，包括派遣维护人员（通常在夜间）检查和维修铁路基础设施。这是件危险的工作，无人机协助工作人员则可以避免。

By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.

通过使用最新技术，无人机还可以开始为铁路提供更高价值的服务，在铁路或道岔出现任何安全问题之前检测出故障。为了执行这些任务，铁路无人机不需要在头顶飞行。工程师们现在正在研究一个新概念：未来的轨道无人机。它们将在列车前方的轨道上移动，编制好程序自动运行。配备先进传感器和人工智能的微型无人机可以像副驾驶一样引导列车前行。凭借它们的前瞻能力，它们可以发出任何问题的信号，以便快速行驶的列车能够及时做出反应。

　2015上海英语高考真题阅读理解

　(A)

　Look to many of history?s cultural symbols, and there you?ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity?s earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.

　For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion?s courtyard.

　The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing weeks called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen?an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and . Some were a reflection of people?s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of artistic freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.

　If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don?t worry: I?ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over?the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.

　66. According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?

　A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.

　B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.

　C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.

　D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.

　67. ?The heyday of the snowman? (paragraph 4) means the time when___________.

　A. snowmen were made mainly by artists

　B. snowmen enjoyed great popularity

　C. snowmen were politically criticized

　D. snowmen caused damaging floods

　68. In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.

　A. the start of the parade

　B. the coming of a longer summer

　C. the passing of the winter

　D. the success of tradesmen

　69. What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?

　A. They were appreciated in history

　B. They have lost their value

　C. They were related to movies

　D. They vary in shape and size

　参考答案：66. C 67. B 68. C 69. A

　(B)

　Scary Bunny

　The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) is the first full-length feature film made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazing plasticine (粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you?ll understand why. It?s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.

　Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the town?s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.

　The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.

　To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and adults. If you liked Wallace and Gromit?s previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, you?ll love this film. Don?t miss it!

　70. In the film review, what is paragraph A mainly about?

　A. The introduction to the leading roles B. The writer?s opinion of acting

　C. The writer?s comments on the story D. The background information

　71. According to the film review, ?the monster? (paragraph B) refers to ______.

　A. a gun-crazy hunter B. a brainy dog

　C. a scary rabbit D. a giant vegetable

　72. Which of the following is a reason why the writer recommends the film?

　A. It?s full of wit and humour.

　B. Its characters show feelings without words.

　C. It is an adventure film directed by Peter Sallis.

　D. It is about the harmony between man and animals.

　参考答案：70. D 71. C 72. A

福建高考英语阅读训练题及答案解析？

In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N. Y. - Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood - traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff's granddaughter.

1916年，两个来自纽约州奥本富裕家庭的女孩，好朋友——多萝西·伍德拉夫和罗莎蒙德·安德伍德来到落基山脉的一个定居点，在只有一间教室的校舍里教书。女孩们毕业于史密斯学院，服饰昂贵。因此，对她们来说，搬到科罗拉多州埃尔克黑德教那些用绳子将鞋绑在一起的孩子们让人惊讶。她们在埃尔克黑德的逗留是《无所畏惧：两个社会女孩在西部的意外教育》一书的主题，作者多萝西·威肯登是一名杂志编辑，也是多萝西·伍德拉夫的孙女。

Why did they go then? Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken.

她们为什么要去？她们想做些有意义的事。然而，她们很快意识到了要承担的责任。

They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.

她们搬进了当地的哈里森一家，和他们一样，几乎没有隐私，很少洗澡，早上醒来时被子上覆盖着一层雪。有几个早上，罗莎蒙德和多萝西来到学校，发现孩子们因寒冷而哭泣。春天，雪成了混着冰水的泥。

In Wickenden's book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course influenced the girls' decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy's return to Auburn.

在威肯登的书中，她提及了西部历史和女权主义，这些影响了女孩们去埃尔克黑德的决定。令人恐惧的一部分涉及到铁路建设，需要在落基山脉钻探，常常是在暴风雪中。这本书以罗莎蒙德和多萝西回到奥本结束。

Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: "When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter."

威肯登很会讲故事，大地的辽阔和人们的坚忍让她写出了一些美丽的作品。这是一张多萝西·伍德拉夫骑着马从山顶往下看的照片：“当太阳下山后，它的周围发出玫瑰色的光芒。然后，满月升起。雪地上只有小动物：狐狸、郊狼、老鼠和各种各样的野兔，冬天一片白色

　福建高考英语阅读训练题***一***

　Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot***行李箱***.

　Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch***沟渠*** at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to e in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would e flooding in.”

　Mr. Johnson, a sweet sale *** an of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”

　It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”

　His hands and arms cut and bruised***擦伤***, Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

　福建高考英语阅读训练题***二***

　We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard ***柜厨*** outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it, ” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.”

　What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.

　In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.

　After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.

　“Right, sir, ” he said. “Do you need any more help?”

　I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer, ” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”

　He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well, ” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”
