- 1 -陕西礼泉县 2016 高考英语阅读理解（二轮）联练（1）科普知识（阅读理解）由 (2012 全国Ⅱ,C)改编Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships.For example,in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true feelings.It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures.For example,many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places;some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough.In Southeast Asian cultures,a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感),but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather,there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted.For example,in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do.When with friends,Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States.People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own cultural habits,we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.1.What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?( )- 2 -A.Love. B.Politeness.C.Joy. D.Thankfulness.2.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile can . A.show friendliness to strangersB.be used to hide true feelingsC.be used in the wrong placesD.show personal habits3.What should we do before attempting to “read” people?( )A.Learn about their relations with others.B.Understand their cultural backgrounds.C.Find out about their past experience.D.Figure out what they will do next.4.What would be the best title for the text?( )A.Cultural Differences B.Smiles and RelationshipsC.Facial Expressiveness D.Habits and Emotions语篇解读:本文为说明文。介绍面部表情在不同文化、不同地域的不同含义。答案及剖析:1.C 事实细节题。根据第一段“For example,in American culture(文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.”可知答案为 C 项。2.B 事实细节题。根据第一段“In Southeast Asian cultures,a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.”可知答案为 B 项。3.B 事实细节题。根据文章第二段第二、三句可知答案。4.C 主旨大意题。本文主要写在不同文化背景下,面部表情的不同含义。【疑难词汇解读】1.confusion n.困惑;慌乱The old woman looked at him in confusion.老妇人用迷茫的目光打量着他。2.cover v.掩饰;隐匿She laughed to cover her anxiety.她试图以笑来掩饰她的焦虑。- 3 -【长难句子分析】𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡主 语 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑜 𝑛𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟同位 语 从句𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑎𝑠 𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑠 𝑑𝑜 𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟同位 语 从句 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛谓语𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑑𝑜 𝑛𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠.宾语 从句事实上一种文化背景下的人不能像另一种文化背景下的人一样直率地表达他们的情感,这并不意味着他们不经历这些情感。[社会生活型阅读理解(二)] People turn to magic(魔力)chiefly as a form of insurance—that is, they use it along with actions that actually bring results. For example, hunters may use a hunting charm(咒语). But they also use their hunting skills and knowledge of animals. The charm may give hunters the extra confidence they need to hunt even more successfully than they would without it. If they shoot a lot of game(猎物), they credit the charm for their success. Many events happen naturally without magic. Crops grow without it, and sick people get well without it. But if people use magic to bring a good harvest or to cure a patient, they may believe the magic was responsible. People also tend to forget magic's failures and to be impressed by its surface successes. They may consider magic successful if it appears to work only 10 percent of the time. Even when magic fails, people often explain the failure without doubting the power of the magic. They may say that the magician made a mistake in reciting the spell or that another magician cast a more powerful spell against the magician. Many anthropologists(人类学家) believe that people have faith in magic because they feel a need to believe in it. People may turn to magic to reduce their fear and uncertainty if they feel they have no control over the outcome of a situation. For example, farmers use knowledge and skill when they plant their - 4 -fields. But they know that weather, insects, or diseases might ruin the crops. So farmers in some societies may also plant a charm or perform a magic rite to ensure a good harvest.1. From the passage, we can learn that the writer of the passage may be ________．A. a hunter B. a farmer C. a magician D. an anthropologist2. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Magic and Hunting B. Magic and FarmingC. Why Magic Works? D. Why People Believe in Magic?3. The underlined word “spell”(Paragraph 2) most probably means “________”. A. magic words B. magic events C. words or expressions D. magicians4. People believe in magic because________．A. magic powers are greater than natural powersB. magic can turn dreams into realityC. they are not sure of themselves D. magic can bring good results 5. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Even though magic fails, believers in magic will explain the reason.B. Believers in magic usually overstate the power of magic.C. People use magic to reduce their uncertainty and give them extra confidence.D. Magic can solve problems people can't deal with in a natural way.(三)【要点综述】 为什么有些人相信魔法咒语呢？魔法咒语真的灵验吗？这些人相信魔法咒语是因为他们缺乏自信。作者以人类学家的科学眼光分析了这种社会现象。1．D 2．D 主旨大意题。全文主要介绍了人们为什么相信咒语。- 5 -3．A 词义猜测题。同形异义词需要根据上下文语境来确定其具体意义，不可受原先所熟悉词义的约束。文中第二段的“spell”与“拼写”无关，而是指“咒语”可知。4．C 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，人们相信魔法咒语是因为人们需要相信它。当人们无法控制情况的后果时，就可能转向寻求魔法咒语来减轻自己的恐惧或不安，也就是人们缺乏自信。5．D 正误判断题。D 项意思为：咒语可以解决人们用自然的方式不能解决的问题。由文章内容可知，咒语只是人们解决问题时的一种寄托和心理安慰，并不能真正地帮助人们解决问题，故 D 项表述错误。其他三项均可从文中找到相应的依据。【2014 高考英语河南省内黄一中一模】DSome young Cambodians are learning a new sport---skateboarding.

The Treehotel, located in a place called Harads, will consist of four rooms when it opens on July 17th: the Cabin, the Blue Cone, the Nest, and the Mirrorcube.Two additional rooms are scheduled to open in October. The long term vision(想象) is even more expansive. “Our goal in five years is to have 24 rooms from 24 different architects,” says Treehotel co-founder Kent Lindvall.The first six rooms were designed by five different architects. The Mirrorcube which stands four meters high and four meters wide, and the walls of which are made with a mirrored glass, has drawn widespread attention as it will be attached to a single tree. “It’s an interesting building. You can’t find anything else like this in the world today. It’s unique(独特的),” says Lindvall. “Everything will reflect in it---the trees, the birds, the clouds and the sun in the forest. So it could hardly be seen in the forest. This is untouched forest and we want to keep it the same way.”Lindvall says the Treehotel’s vision proves a powerful draw, with enquiries(询问) coming in from far and wide. “I think what’s exciting here is that we’re just 60 km below the Arctic Circle. It means there’s a good possibility to have the northern lights in the winter and of course to have the midnight sun in the summer.”The motto of the Treehotel is “Feel Free in a Tree” and expense will cost up to about $555.50 for two guests in the Cube, which is designed to hold up to four guests. 47.

I hadn’t the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go .It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn’t know the way. I had been - 3 -driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone…even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩).”I wouldn’t leave her out in the cold!” he said.Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his.

A.why we cry when we are hurtB.why we cough when we suffer from a coldC.why we smile when we see someone else smileD.why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late2.The underlined word “triggered”in the third paragraph probably means “ ”. A.set off B.cut off C.built up D.broken up3.We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons . A.relate to human behavior and interactionB.control human physical actions and feelingsC.result in bad behavior and social disordersD.determine our knowledge and language abilities4.What is the passage mainly about?( )A.Ways to find mirror neurons.B.Problems of mirror neurons.C.Existence of mirror neurons.D.Functions of mirror neurons.语篇解读:本文是说明文,为科普知识类文章,主要介绍在人类大脑中无处不在的反应神经元的功能。答案及剖析:1.C 推理判断题。根据第二段第一、二句可知,反应神经元的存在表明了每次我们看见别人做什么时,我们的大脑就模仿,这足以解释我们是如何学会笑、说、走、跳- 6 -舞或是运动的。故答案为 C 项。2.A 猜测词义题。根据第三段最后一句意思,一组研究人员发现如果他们让被测试者听这样的句子(例如:“用手抓住球”),同样,当相应的实际动作在运转时,反应神经元也起作用。set off 激起,引起;cut off 切断;build up 增进;break up 散开,驱散。故答案为 A 项。3.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知,反应神经元的相关研究似乎为我们提供更多有关人类行为和互动的信息。因此,可以推断反应神经元与人类行为和互动有关联,故答案为 A 项。4.D 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍反应神经元的作用,故答案为 D 项。【长难句子分析】𝑀𝑢𝑐ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑐ℎ主 语 𝑠𝑢𝑔𝑔𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑠谓语 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 (𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑠𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏𝑒ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑙宾语 从句𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑠)定 语 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑖𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑟 𝑛𝑒𝑢𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑠 (𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙𝑦宾语 从句 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔).定 语 从句宾语 从句许多研究表明,社交和举止有问题的人,他的反应神经元功能没有充分发挥。谓语动词 suggests 后面跟着一个由 that 引导的宾语从句,其中 with social and behavioral problems 作 people 的定语;which 引导的定语从句修饰先行词 mirror neurons。阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Mr and Mrs Gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines.
