‎3年高考2年模拟1年原创精品系列 专题29 阅读表达、阅读简答（天津）‎ ‎【2017年高考命题预测】‎ ‎2009年,天津高考英语卷也采用了阅读表达这一题型。这种题型以阅读理解为基础,要求考生在读懂文章的基础上,用规定的词数简要地回答有关问题;考查考生的英语表达能力和概括能力,比传统的阅读理解题型更具综合性和主观性,更能体现对考生的综合语言运用能力的考查。所选用的阅读材料题材、文体与传统的阅读理解短文没有太大的区别,多以故事和说明文为主,长度一般为300词左右,结构清晰,通俗易懂。‎ 在问题设置上，阅读表达题一般设有五个小题(每小题2分),阅读简答题则一般设有三个小题(每小题2分)。在形式上,阅读表达题相对丰富些,有填空和问题简答等,而阅读简答题则主要以问题简答为主。考查的方向基本上可分为四大类:一是词汇语义类,要求考生从文中找到一个与所给生词或短语意义最接近的替换词,考查学生联系上下文理解词义的能力;二是细节查找类,针对文章某细节内容提问,要求考生用规定的词数回答问题;三是主旨大意类,针对文章主旨提问,考查考生对文章中心思想或作者态度、观点等的把握;四是考生个人观点类,问考生读完文章后对文中故事或人物的看法。 ‎ ‎ 总之,这种题型将答题主观性与客观性相结合,突出思维的开放性,给考生提供广阔的思维空间,能全面、客观地考查考生“读、写、思”等方面的能力。‎ ‎【考点定位】2017考纲解读和近几年考点分布 从近几年的天津高考阅读表达题来看，该题型的测试目的是从多方位多角度考查考生通过阅读获取信息、处理信息并进行书面表达的能力。比传统的阅读理解题型更具综合性和主观性，更能体现对考生的 综合语言运用能力的考查。‎ 其命题特点是：‎ ‎1.阅读表达的题材和体裁与传统的阅读短文没有太大的区别，文章长度大致相同或比传统的阅读短文略短，总阅读量不会太大（约200~300词）。‎ ‎2.生词量较大，有许多超“标”词汇，要求考生凭借上下文语境及生活常识予以推测感知。‎ ‎3.语篇意识和思维灵活性有所强化，文章的结构层次性更强。‎ 阅读表达题型具有多样性，概括起来一般采用以下7种形式：‎ 问题类型 常见问题 主旨概括【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ What’s the best title of the passage?‎ What is the purpose of the writer’s writing this passage?‎ What’s the main idea of the passage/article?‎ 填空 Please fill in the blank in the passage with a proper sentence / proper words or phrases.‎ 翻译句子 Translate the underlined sentence in the … paragraph into Chinese.‎ 同意句替换 Please find out the sentence in the passage which can be replaced by the following one.‎ 封闭性问题 Regular close-ended wh-questions based on the passage.‎ 开放性问题 What would you do if you …?‎ What other suggestions would you give?‎ How would you settle the problem if you…?‎ 其他类型 ‎…‎ 每年的高考题将会从以上的七种类型中选出五类,问题的顺序也会结合问题的信息点在文章中出现的顺序进行排列.其他类型的题目属于不确定题型,是根据文章题材和体裁的具体特点设计的,与以上六种题型不同的问题类型.为了控制考生在该试题上所花费的时间,在每一个需要考生回答的问题后面都有具体字数的要求(翻译句子题除外).‎ ‎【考点pk】 名师考点透析 高考题型:Fill in the blank in paragraph 3 with a propersentence.(within 10 words);Fill in the blank inparagraph 4 with proper words.(Please answer within 6words.)‎ 解题策略:整体理解,仔细推敲,注意上下文的逻辑性,关注文中表示对比、转折、递进、并列、因果等关系的关联词;分析句子结构,用适当单词、短语或句子的正确形式填空;把握作者的思路,简练表达,切忌偏离主题、断章取义;放回原文中检查,确保上下文连贯,语法正确。‎ 考点三、翻译句子该题型要求将短文中指定的句子翻译成通顺的汉语。‎ 高考题型:You are perfectly within the bounds of po-liteness in responding to a marathon e-mail with a brief reply 解题策略:分析把握句子结构;遵循忠实通顺的原则,表达完整;注意英汉语序的差异,译文要求符合汉语表达习惯;翻译关键词;语言简练。‎ 考点四、英文释义 该题型要求根据所给的英文释义句子,在短文中寻找相同的句子。此类试题较简单,相当于传统阅读理解中的转换理解,答案较固定。‎ 一般出题方式:Which sentence in the passage can breplaced by the following one?例如:Which sentence in tpassage is the closest in meaning to the following one?Tpossible existence of annoyance results from our inability sort out e-mails.‎ 解题策略:通过上下文,整体理解所给句子;分析所给句子的结构、含义、实际用意;在文中找相同含义的句子;不能增加或减少,所找句子必须准确、完整。‎ 考点五、封闭型问题 该题型要求学生结合文中某个问题进行解答。‎ 一般出题方式有:Regular Wh-Questions based on thpassage.例如:What advice is given in the ‎ last paragrap(within 10 words)(2007年高考);List three activities thmight develop into addictions based on the text.(Please aswer within 8 words.)(2008年高考)‎ 解题策略:面对该类问题,学生可以结合文中的具体依据进行回答,答案是固定的、唯一的。‎ 考点六、开放型问题该题型要求学生结合个人的观点、态度进行表述。‎ 一般出题方式有:what would you do if you were.What do you think...?Which of...do you think is the best fyou,why?‎ 解题策略:面对该类题型,学生可以依据自己的看法结合原文理解作出回答,注意扬长避短,避难就易。‎ 考点七、其他题型除了上述较为常见的题型外,高考命题人员还有可能根据阅读理解文章的题材和体裁设置其他题目。‎ 每年的高考题将会从以上的七种类型中选出五类，问题的顺序也会结合问题的信息点在文章种出现的顺序进行排列。其他类型的题目属于不确定题型，是根据文章题材和体裁的具体特点设计的与以上六种题型不同的问题类型。还有就是为了控制考生在该试题上所化肥的时间，在每一个需要考生回答的 问题后面都有具体字数的要求（翻译句子和句子填空题除外）‎ ‎【三年高考】 14、15、16年高考试题及其解析 ‎16年高考试题 ‎2016·天津卷] ‎ 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。‎ I'm a 34yearold man, married, live in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.‎ My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along. ‎ I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn't a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After ‎ about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.‎ Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practised reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I__was__literate．‎ Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I've got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.‎ ‎56．What made the author's school days difficult?

At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community. ‎ ‎ On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for—good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy. ‎ ‎ “Thank you for your nice words，” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isn't having it made; it's getting it made.”‎ ‎ “The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years ago, when we lived in a threeroom house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet. I rarely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still can't figure out is why I never got tired, never felt better in ‎ my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments, but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. It's the journey, not the arrival, that counts.”‎ ‎ The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up and get going, because I will have one less year to do things—and there are ten million things waiting to be done.”‎ ‎ Christina Rossetti, an English poet, once said: “Does the road wind uphill all the way?

Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature into braille(盲文) to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hearts and minds of blind readers. She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises for more than 40 years.‎ After working in the business world for a while, Low got fed up. So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.‎ Low's mother liked reading. As her eyes began to fail, Low read to her. Then“hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn braille, I decided to give it a try.” In 1973, she was certified as a braille transcriber(转译者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.‎ The job was strenuous—she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing again. For a number of years, Low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape. Three years ago, she took up proofreading(校对) at the CNIB's word factory.‎ In April, during Volunteer Week, the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions. Thanks to volunteers like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80，000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print. “ I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris' contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years—and she is still doing so，” said a CNIB official.‎ ‎“For me，” said Low, “the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer. Three things matter most in my life: a little play, a little work, a little love. I've found them all here.”‎ ‎56. What does Low still do at the age of 90 at the CNIB? (no more than 10 words)‎ ‎57. Why did Low learn braille? (no more than 15 words)‎ ‎58. What does the underlined word “strenuous” most probably mean？(1 word)‎ ‎59. What are Low's contributions to the CNIB? (no more than 15 words)‎ ‎60. What do you think of Low? Give your reasons. (no more than 20 words)‎ ‎【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了Doris Low从年轻时就成为一名志愿者为那些听力有问题的人读书，将书中的内容转在磁带上，还作为转译者将普通的书译成布拉耶文(即盲文)。现年她已经90岁了，依旧在做志愿工作。‎ ‎56. She helps transform literature into braille (for blind readers/the blind). 根据第一段中的“…where she helps transform literature into braille…”可知，Doris Low在90岁时依旧在帮忙把文学作品翻译成盲文。‎ ‎57. (Because) her mother's eyes began to fail and she heard an/the advertisement. 根据第三段中的“As her eyes began to fail, Low read to her…，‘hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn braille, I decided to give it a try.’”可知Low学盲文是因为她母亲的视力下降，而且正好听到了一则鼓励人们学盲文的广告。‎ ‎58. Difficult/Hard/Tiring/Tough. 根据画线单词后的内容“…she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing again.”可知将书译成盲文是非常难的，故用difficult/hard/tiring/though等词汇。‎ ‎59. She has brailled and proofread hundreds of books, and read books onto tape.根据倒数第二段中的“…the CNIB recognized Low for her great ‎ contributions.”可知contributions后面的内容都是Low作出的贡献。重点的贡献就是“…through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread…”将句子进行整合就构成本题的答案。‎ ‎2013年高考试题 ‎【2013天津卷】阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。‎ My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye. NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity.‎ I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…”‎ Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.‎ On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.‎ Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space.‎ People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.‎ ‎【文章大意】这篇文章介绍了作者为什么给火星探测器命名为Curiosity ‎：因为好奇才会进步、发展。‎ ‎56. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest? (no more than 10 words)‎ 答案]By reading a Time for Kids magazine. Or: From a Time for Kids magazine 解析]文章的第一段第二句话“I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine”明确指明了来源。对学生来说就是语言的组织问题了。题干中的the news暗示了答案可能出现的位置，又因为后面是谈论竞赛的内容，所以我们知道答案应该出现在前面那句话中。‎ 考点定位]考查对文章的细节理解能力。一般根据题干中的关键信息去定位答案，然后根据文章的意思就能很快的找到答案。‎ ‎57. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA? (no more than 10 words)‎ 答案]She won the essay contest held by NASA. Or: She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”. Or: “Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover.‎ 解析]题干中的关键信息“a front-row seat in NASA”告诉我们答案可能在第四段，第四段中有一个“the rover named Curiosity”再结合第二段中的“Curiosity is an…”的句子，我们就能得出正确答案了。‎ 考点定位]考查细节理解能力。一般根据题干中的关键信息去定位答案，然后根据文章的意思就能很快的找到答案。‎ ‎58. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma? (no more than 15 words)‎ 答案]She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about stars. Or: Her grandma told her stories about stars. Or: They sat together talking about stars.‎ 解析]关键信息“the time spent with Grandma”说明答案应该出现在倒数第2段：I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. 学生在组织语言的时候要把人物和事件都概括进来。‎ 考点定位]考查细节理解能力。学生在组织语言时必须把人物和事件概括好。‎ ‎59. What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean? (1 word)‎ 答案]Stay/Remain/Live/Hide 考点定位] 考查推测生词的能力。一定要把握好语境，有时要考虑搭配。‎ ‎60. In your opinion, why is curiosity important? (no more than 20 words)‎ 答案]Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or inventions. Or: With curiosity, we keep asking questions and exploring the world unknown. Or: Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyond our knowledge.‎ 解析] 这是一个开放性的问题，理解了原文之后，就比较容易回答了。但是，回答时一定不要偏离了文章的中心。文章多次提到curiosity或curious，我们要对除了专有名词之外的地方进行概括提炼，揣摩作者的意思。‎ 考点定位] 考查学生概括能力和组织语言能力。对出现关键词的对方要进行归纳总结，在揣摩了作者的意图之后，组织语言。‎ ‎2012年高考试题 ‎ 2012·天津卷] ‎ 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。‎ Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn't stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was wellconditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a longdistance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.‎ For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world's best longdistance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a tenmile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women's record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.‎ Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reaching Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.‎ When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things—travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.‎ ‎56．What prevented Nyad from taking part in the Olympic Games？(No more than 5 words)‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎57．What does the underlined word“obstacles” mean？(1 word)‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎58．What achievement did Nyad make in 1970？(No more than 10 words)‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎59．Why did Nyad believe that she had touched the other shore？(No more than 10 words)‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎60．Please explain how you are inspired by Nyad.(No more than 20 words)‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ 答案] ‎ ‎56．A serious illness (did)．‎ ‎57．Difficulties/Problems/Trouble(s)/Challenges.‎ ‎58．She swam a tenmile marathon and set the women's record./She swam a tenmile marathon, setting the women's record./She set the women's record for a tenmile marathon swimming.‎ ‎59．Because she had tried her best (to fulfill the task)．/Her strength of purpose was as important as reaching Cuba.‎ ‎60．I am encouraged by her determination and strong will./I am inspired by her courage and strong desire to succeed./From her I learned that once we set a goal, we should try hard to achieve it./We should never give up in the face of difficulty/failure./We should never stop trying new things and we may achieve success in different fields.‎ ‎【两年模拟】2015、2016名校模拟题及其答案解析 ‎2016名校模拟题 ‎【天津市河东区2016届高三一模】阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。‎ When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely lame ‎ and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would feel ashamed at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on, nor did he say anything about it. ‎ It was difficult to coordinate(协调) our steps—his pausing, my impatience—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”‎ Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and despite bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. A matter of pride.‎ When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, NY, on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would grasp the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.‎ When I think of it now, I wondered at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress. And at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.‎ ‎ He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.‎ Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know precisely what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.‎ My father has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about incident, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.‎ At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”‎ ‎56. What wouldn’t the author like others to see?(No more than 10 words)‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________ ‎ ‎57.

(No more than 8 words)‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎59. Find an example in the passage that shows the father was a man with a “good heart”.

As it turned out she was looking for the hospital. I felt wonderful just reaching out, and taking that extra moment to help.‎ Many times in these situations I end up walking a person to where he or she is going when giving directions would be too complicated. I like helping people this way due to my own experience. Many years ago, we travelled in Japan and needed directions. A kind Japanese who saw our problem came to us and helped us out. This man just took my heavy bags and guided us to where we needed to be. We could not speak any Japanese while the man could not speak any English. Although we could not communicate through words, we communicated through the heart.‎ Sometimes when I do a special favor for a stranger, the person will say, “I hope I can do something for you one day to return the favor.” They already have done something for me by giving me the opportunity to help them.

When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet regularly, but she couldn’t find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, I’d make it a really interesting site for teenagers.”‎ ‎ So, when Ashley was sixteen, she launched her own website, called GooseHead. Young people got excited when they searched on this website and step by step they introduced the site to others and made more friends.

It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees. ‎ ‎ After a few years, the website closed down.

So it is not an easy sport. But this may not be true for 20-year-old Sasha diGuilian. This fearless girl who has been dominating the sport ever since she entered this field is just getting warmed up.‎ The youngster who is also studying for a creative writing degree at Columbia University says that she began climbing even before she could walk. As a baby, she constantly escaped from her bed and led her friends to the nearest rocks or hills. Then at the age of seven she attended brother’s birthday party at a local rock climbing gym and found her gift for it.‎ Soon after, she joined the local center in her hometown of Alexandria, Virginia and began climbing— first once a week, then twice and soon, almost every day. At the age of nine, she won her first climbing competition by participating in an event that she hadn’t even been aware of, until she went to the gym for her normal climbing routine. Her competitive nature and love for the sport immediately reached the peak and she began training seriously, but this time outside the gym—climbing real mountains.‎ As a youngster, she dominated the Junior Continental Championships from 2004 to 2010. Then she went on to catch the Pan American Championship and the US National Championship as soon as she was old enough. And in 2011, at just 18 years old, she was crowned(加冕)Female Overall World Champion in Arco, Italy at her first attempt.【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ ‎ Sasha diGuilian is also the youngest woman who has completed the 5.14d graded climb in which climbers must climb rocks that are vertical.

High waves. Technical failures. Loneliness. After battling hard times and danger for over nine months, British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo around the world.‎ The 17-year-old made the record after he cleared the Panama Canal and then sailed through the Caribbean and home across the Atlantic.‎ Mike is only three months younger than Zac Sunderland, the 17-year-old American boy who had taken the crown as the youngest solo around-the-world sailor in July.‎ The two youngsters met in Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different directions. Mike insisted they were not rival. “No. It’s two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the adventure of a life time.” he said.‎ Mike may be young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures. He picked up the hobby at age 6 when his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake. Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo. That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge. ‎ On the recent journey, the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the southern Indian Ocean.‎ ‎“We were picked up by what felt like a 60-foot wave and threw down on our side at 90 degrees,” he said.‎ ‎“It felt like I was going right over. Stuff was flying around and I just thought ‘Oh no’.”‎ At other times, he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems. He tied himself to the boat, jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30-second dives underneath the boat to cut a rope away.‎ Mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true. “You’ve got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it,” he said.‎ ‎56.Which canal did Mike Perham cross? （No more than 3 words）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎57.What does the underlined word “taste” in the fifth paragraph mean? （1 word）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎58.What did Mike believe in? （No more than 10 words）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎59.What’s the main idea of the passage? （No more than 15 words）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎60.What do you think of Mike Perham? （No more than 10 words）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎56.The Panama Canal.‎ ‎57.Experience.‎ ‎58.Having confidence in yourself will make you successful.‎ ‎59.How a British teenager succeeded in sailing solo around the world as the youngest person.‎ ‎60.Open.‎ ‎57.Experience. 考查词义猜测能力。根据第五段“That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge.”可知，穿越大西洋的航行，给Mike的这次航行积累了经验。故填Experience.‎ ‎58.Having confidence in yourself will make you successful. 考查细节理解能力。根据最后一句“You've got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it.”可知，你需要有充分的自信，相信自己能成功。故填Having confidence in yourselves will make you successful.‎ ‎59.How a British teenager succeeded in sailing solo around the world as the youngest person. 考查理解概括能力。根据第一段“British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo (单独) around the world.”可知，文章讲述的是，一个英国青少年成功完成环球航行的故事。故填How a British teenager succeeded in sailing solo around the world as the youngest person.‎ ‎60.Open. 考查理解概括能力。本题是一道开放性题目。只要言之有理即可，注意不要超过十个词。‎ 考点：人物类短文阅读 ‎ ‎【天津市2015届高考压轴卷】阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）‎ Workplace wellness is a serious issue. With terms like "stress-related-illness" and "burnout" becoming household words, organizations are increasingly looking for ways to keep their workforce happy, healthy and productive. ‎ Up to now, most organizations tended to devalue the idea of laughter at work, seeing it as a distraction from getting the "real" job done. This attitude is also reinforced by the work ethic many of us were raised with: "No pain, no gain," "Work isn't supposed to be fun," and "It's only worthwhile if you have to suffer for it." ‎ However, we're starting to realize that all of this suffering is killing us. Not only that, but we're finding that it's actually counter-productive to the bottom-line results so sought after in this time of change and downsizing.‎ And amazingly enough, this is confirmed by scientific research. A recent study conducted at Canadian financial institutions found that managers who developed the highest level of employee performance used humor the most often.‎ The scientific data is also proving that laughter is a complete part of physical wellness. Dr. William Fry of Stanford University found that laughing 200 times burns off the same amount of calories as 10 minutes on a rowing machine. Another study found that after a bout of (一阵子)laughter, blood pressure drops to a lower, healthier level than before the laughter began. Laughter also oxygenates(氧化)your blood, thereby increasing energy level, relaxes your muscles and works out all your major internal systems. ‎ ‎______________, researchers are discovering that laughter also affects the immune system. According to Dr. Lee Berk of the Loma Linda School of Public Health in California, laughing makes it grow stronger, with the body's T-cells, natural killer cells and antibodies all showing signs of increased activity. ‎ ‎56.What does the passage mainly tell us ?

Laghter can burn off a certain number of calories , help lower your blood pressure ,oxygenate your blood, relax your muscles ,work out your major internal systems and affect the immune system.‎ ‎57.一个最近在加拿大财政机构所做的研究表明：使员工发挥最佳水平的是那些经常使用幽默的负责人。“A recent study conducted at Canadian financial institutions found that managers who developed the highest level of employee performance used humor the most often.”conduct意思是研究，所以整句话可以翻译成一个最近在加拿大财政机构所做的研究表明：使员工发挥最佳水平的是那些经常使用幽默的负责人。‎ ‎58.What’s more/In addition/Apart from that推理判断题。根据横线后一句话“researchers are discovering that laughter also affects the immune system.”可以知道这一段讲的是研究发现大笑还能影响人的免疫系统，属于研究的另一个发现，所以横线上要填表示递进关系的短语，而且是在三个单词以内，What’s more/In addition/Apart from that都表示而且、另外的意思。故填What’s more/In addition/Apart from that。‎ ‎59. Another study found that after a bout of laughter, blood pressure drops to a lower, healthier level than before the laughter began句意理解题。“It was found in another study that if you have laughed for a short period time, your blood pressure will come to a lower, healthier level than before you begin to laugh.”意思是另一个研究发现如果你大笑一会儿的话，你的血压会降到一个比你大笑之前更健康的水平。第五段第三句话“Another study found that after a bout of (一阵子)laughter, blood pressure drops to a lower, healthier level than before the laughter began.”正是此意。‎ ‎60. Laghter can burn off a certain number of calories , help lower your blood pressure ,oxygenate your blood, relax your muscles ,work out your major internal systems and affect the immune system列举概括题。本题要求概括工作时大声笑的好处，纵观全文，可以概括出Laghter can burn off a certain number of calories , help lower your blood pressure ,oxygenate your blood, relax your muscles ,work out your major internal systems and affect the immune system这六点。‎ ‎【考点】：考察说明类文章的阅读。‎ ‎【天津市七校2015届高三4月联考】阅读表达（共5小题； 每小题2分， 满分10分） 阅读短文， 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When my friends went to college in great delight, I restarted my senior high school life．My spirit sank．Surrounded by strange classmates, I felt like I was in a maze and was sorry about myself．There were some complex feelings in my minds．I was frightened, nervous and lonely． To make matters worse, I recalled my failure again and again, which put more pressure on me than I could bear．As a result, I was always feeling down during class time． My teacher found me spiritless．One day he asked me to come to his office and told me about his attitude towards life: we might suffer from mistakes, but it’s important to learn lessons from them．All the pains and the embarrassing things we experience are part of the process．So keep up your spirit!

But a new video campaign named Tell Them Now has launched to get people to show true emotions to their fathers on Father’s Day. Echo, who came up with the idea, said: “ We wanted to bring fathers and their kids face to face with each other. Many people don’t feel they express their love well enough to the people close to them. ”‎ ‎ In total, around a dozen children and their fathers were asked to take part in Echo’s short video. During the short film, a woman gets emotional as she speaks to her elderly father, who almost dies. “Dad I’m grateful, because we don’t know how long you are going to be with us,” she says. Meanwhile, a teenage girl considers how her views about her father will change in the future once she’s fled the nest. “ At the time when I’m graduating and leaving, it’s really going to hit me,” she says before giving her father a big hug.‎ ‎ But it’s not just children showing the love. Parents also take time to say why their children make them proud. One father clearly finds it a difficult task when he’s put on the spot. “ I’ve always been impressed by you. You made parenting easy.” Another man states how fatherhood helped him to seek help for alcoholism. “ Thank you”, he tells his son during the public heart –to-heart scene.‎ ‎ Echo hopes the campaign will encourage viewers to pick up the phone, and get the “L” word out to the fathers----“Tell him why you’re grateful; tell him why you’re proud.

Last year she helped a single mother with three children. The mother works as a cleaning lady in a nursing home.‎ ‎ "The list is always heartbreaking.

"Every child should have a Christmas that sticks with them for a lifetime."

It was also found that alcohol usually gives us a helping hand to let out secrets—with more than half admitting a glass or two of wine could get them to dish the dirt.‎ Michael Cox, UK Director of Wines of Chile, said, “It’s official that women can’t keep secrets.

More than four in ten think it is acceptable to share a friend’s secret with someone who doesn’t know him or her.‎ ‎ Private issues, true cost of purchases and affairs emerged top of the secret-keeping list, with girls most likely to share a secret chatting face-to-face, on the phone or via a text message.

Low levels of vitamin D can lead to problems like rickets (佝偻病)and osteoporosis（骨质疏松）. Rickets is a deformity mainly found in children. Osteoporosis is the thinning of bone, a common problem as people, especially women, get older. ‎ ‎〔2〕Studies in recent years have suggested that vitamin D may also have other uses. Studies have shown that low levels of D may increase the risk of heart attacks in men and deaths from some cancers. Other studies have shown that people with rheumatic diseases often have low levels of D.‎ ‎〔3〕The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight. The ultraviolet rays react with skin cells to produce the vitamin. But many people worry about skin cancer and skin damage from the sun. ‎ Also, darker skinned people produce less vitamin D than lighter skinned people. Production also decreases in older people and those living in northern areas that get less sunlight.Not many foods naturally contain vitamin D. Foods with high levels include oily fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel, and fish liver oils. Boston University researchers reported in two thousand seven that farmed salmon had a lot less vitamin D than wild salmon. ‎ ‎〔4〕Small amounts of D are found in beef liver, cheese and egg yolks. And some people take dietary supplements containing the vitamin. But most of the D in the American diet comes from foods like milk with the vitamin added.‎ ‎〔5〕These days, more doctors are testing for vitamin D levels in their patients. But as research continues, some experts worry that if people take too much D, it might act as a poison. Also, skin doctors warn people to be careful with sun exposure.‎ ‎〔6〕How much vitamin D does a healthy person need? Nutrition experts who advise the American government set the current recommendations in nineteen ninety-seven. The daily amount is two hundred international units from birth through age fifty. Then it rises to four hundred I.U.s through age seventy, and six hundred for those seventy-one and older.

Some schools were closed and sports activities were called off as the conditions pushed air pollution levels to 1500 times their normal levels – the highest on record.‎ Passengers at the busy Sydney Airport faced delays of up to six hours for international flights and three hours for domestic trips, and some international flights were cancelled as visibility was reduced to just a few feet.‎ Sydney ferries were also suspended for several hours for safety reasons.‎ Cars were cloaked, inches thick, in the orange dust and yachts on the harbor, usually gleaming white, had a dull yellowy sheen.‎ Locals, ringing in to radio stations to express their shock at the red dawn, compared the quiet streets and general sense of bewilderment to "Armageddon".‎ ‎"It's like a nuclear winter morning," tourist Peter Wilson, 53, at Circular Quay in central Sydney told Reuters. "It is so eerie." Daniel Hall told the Daily Telegraph that when he awoke in the Sydney suburb of Paddington the sky was "bright red" and "all the cars were covered in dirt".‎ The atmospheric anomaly, which measured more than 310 miles wide and 620 miles long, was caused by dust clouds blowing east from Australia's dry interior, which has been parched by the worst drought on record. It covered dozens of towns and cities in two states as strong winds snatched up tons of topsoil, threw it high into the sky and carried it hundreds of miles.‎ The dust hanging over Sydney had largely cleared by midafternoon, although national carrier Qantas said severe delays would last all day because of diverted and late-running flights.‎ Further north, in the Queensland capital of Brisbane, the sky remained red into the early evening.‎ The storms visible as a huge brown smudge in satellite photographs of Australia on Wednesday were the most severe since the 1940s, experts said.‎ ‎"These dust storms are some of the largest in the last 70 years," said Nigel Tapper, an environmental scientist at Monash University. "Ten very dry years over inland southern Australia and very strong westerlies have conspired to produce these storms."‎ ‎1．What is the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 1 0words．)‎ ‎______________________________________________________________‎ ‎2．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by thefollowing one?International flights have been put off more than six hours at theairport and flights at home may have to be put off about threehours．‎ ‎______________________________________________________________‎ ‎3．Please fill in the blank in the sixth paragraph with proper wordsor phrases to complete the sentence．(Please answer within 1 0words．)‎ ‎______________________________________________________________‎ ‎4．Why were children，the elderly advised to stay at home．'(Please answer within 20 words．)‎ ‎______________________________________________________________‎ ‎5．Translate the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph into Chinese．‎ ‎______________________________________________________________‎ 文章大意] 澳大利亚遭遇70年以来最严重的沙尘暴，悉尼等一些城市笼罩在红色沙漠中。‎ ‎1．Largest dust storm in 70 years covers Sydney dust storm是全文中心，地点也必不可少。而in 70 years说明的是程度。‎ ‎2．Passengers at the busy Sydney Airport faced delays of up to six hours tor international flights and three hours for domestic trips．第五段说的是沙尘暴给人们生活带来的不便，第二句话强调机场障碍。‎ ‎3．express their shock／surprise／astonishment第六段是市民的反应，有人用到了“世界末日”来比喻，说明人们对此事的震惊。‎ ‎4。Because the dirt in the red dust storm may cause breathing problems andother disease． 第三段有原因，第四段有因该原因产生的影响所举的例子。‎ ‎5．有的学校停课，有些体育活动被迫取消，因为这次大雾将空气污染指数提高了正常水平的1500倍，这是历史上的最高纪录。‎ It is a blow for the Ugly Bettys and Plain Janes - research shows that good looks lead to better pay.‎ A study of 4,000 young men and women found that beauty boosted pay cheques more than intelligence.‎ Those judged to be the easiest on the eye earned up to 10 per cent more than their less attractive friends and colleagues.‎ Applied to the average salary of ?25,000, the 'plainness penalty' would make a difference of ?2,500 a year - or around ?50 a week.‎ It is unclear what is behind the phenomenon but it may be that beauty breeds confidence. The self-assured may appear to be doing better than they are and will have fewer qualms about badgering for a pay rise.‎ Researcher Jason Fletcher, of Yale University in the U.S., rated the attractiveness of the young men and women. Just over half were judged average, while 7 per cent were felt to be very attractive and 8 per cent were judged unattractive or very unattractive.‎ The volunteers also sat an IQ test and disclosed their salary. It became clear that pay scales were far from fair.‎ For instance, a 14-point increase on the IQ score was associated with a 3 to 6 per cent increase in wage. But being of above-average looks boosted pay by 5 to 10 per cent.‎ For a plain person to be paid the same as a very attractive one, they would have to be 40 per ‎ cent brighter, the journal Economics Letters reports.‎ Dr Fletcher said: "The results do show that people's looks have an impact on their wages and it can be very substantial."‎ ‎1．What is the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 10words．)‎ ‎______________________________________________________________‎ ‎2．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by thefollowing one?People haven’t found the reasons why those with good looks havemore chances to get high wages but pleasant appearance may in。crease a person’s confidence．‎ ‎______________________________________________________________‎ ‎3．Please fill in the blank in the second paragraph with proper wordsor phrases to complete the sentence．(Please answer within 10words．)‎ ‎______________________________________________________________‎ ‎4．Why does the result say pay scales were far from fair?(Pleaseanswer within 20 words．)‎ ‎______________________________________________________________‎ ‎5．Translate the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph into Chi—i,1PRtm ‎______________________________________________________________‎
