【解析】
【分析】文章介绍了几本书,书中描写了遭遇不幸或身有残疾的人意志坚强与生命拼搏抗争的故事。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一部分Shivani had thrown a party one evening and awoke the next morning in hospital because of a car crash.和As the newly-married Shivani drove to Manali with her family, a truck crashed into her car.可知,No Looking Back这本书讲述的是一个不幸的女孩遭遇了两次车祸的故事,故选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三部分Blind since the age of four, the author led a lonely childhood in India可知,Face to Face.这本书中作者讲述了自己孤独的童年故事,故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。第一本书介绍的一个名叫Snivani的女孩经历的两次意外事故,拒绝伤痛阻止她实现抱负的励志故事;第二本书介绍的是10名体育运动员克服种种困难,为国争光,取得优异成绩;第三本书介绍的是作者本人因眼睛瞎后到美国求学并获得哈佛大学学位,成为一名作家的励志故事;第四本书介绍的是一位名叫Esther Earl的青少年被诊断患有癌症仍然很积极乐观并鼓舞成千上万的其他人的故事,故四本书都有激励他人的作用。故选D。
【点睛】做好细节理解题的几点建议:细节理解题属直接解答性问题,是阅读理解题中最简单的一种,多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大,应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是:对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解,一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案,而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下:略读材料,大概了解原文,掌握中心或主旨;如第1小题根据第一部分Shivani had thrown a party one evening and awoke the next morning in hospital because of a car crash.和As the newly-married Shivani drove to Manali with her family, a truck crashed into her car.可知No Looking Back这本书讲述的是一个不幸的女孩遭遇了两次车祸的故事,故选A.②按文章的体裁,作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实;将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读,全文扫视,找到细节出处,待找到含细节句子时,放慢速度,仔细核对比较内容,直至找到答案。如第2小题根据第三部分Blind since the age of four, the author led a lonely childhood in India可知这本书中作者讲述了自己的故事,故选A.打标签结果:
B
It was about seven years ago. I just picked up my three year old daughter from the nursery. I was weighed down with shopping bags, and with my daughter’s things. We arrived at a pedestrian crossing and she pressed the button. In the distance, I heard alarms, told my daughter to wait and watched a police car approaching.
Little did I know, as the_green_man flashed, that my daughter had begun to run into the road. I watched the police car speed toward us—that’s when you sounded your horn and waved wildly to me. My daughter was about a meter from the path of the police car, hidden from their view by your car.
I screamed her name and ran toward her. She stopped and was shocked by the rush of the police car as it sped past. She wondered why you had blown your horn, asking, “Mom, why was that woman so rude?” not realizing you had saved her life.
She wondered why I picked her up and burst into tears. My legs gave way as I reached the other side of the road. I should have followed my “wait” with a hand on her shoulder, or an explanation of why we were ignoring the green man this time, especially as I had in effect conditioned her to cross the road at the sight of the green flash.
I beat myself up for months, and still do, with flashbacks and horrible assumptions about what might have been. But for your sounding your horn, seeing what I hadn’t seen, I would have been left a mother on the other side of the road, totally broken. I apologize for putting you in that position—I can imagine that it upset you, too. You saved her life and I am so grateful.
4. What does the underlined part “the green man” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. A pedestrian. B. A policeman.
C. A traffic sign. D. A button.
5. Why did the woman sound her horn
A. To stop the police car.
B. To show her impatience.
C. To greet passing pedestrians.
D. To draw the mother’s attention.
6. What can we infer from the incident
A. The mother didn’t regret what had happened.
B. The daughter didn’t follow the traffic rules.
C. The woman responded quickly and properly.
D. The police drove beyond the speed limit.
7. How did the mother feel when taking hold of her daughter
A. Angry and shocked. B. Scared but relieved.
C. Guilty and confused. D. Grateful but sad.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者带女儿过马路时,在路旁等绿灯时,女儿忽然冲到了马路上,幸亏一位女士按喇叭提醒,才挽救了女儿的生命。这件事让作者至今难忘,心中充满感激。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Little did I know, as the_green_man flashed, that my daughter had begun to run into the road.”并结合常识可知,此处表示看到绿灯亮之后,“我”的女儿跑到了马路上;据此可推知,画线部分指代一种交通标志,故C项正确。A项意为“一个行人”,B项意为“一个警察”,D项意为“一个按钮”,都与语境不符。 故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句“I watched the police car speed toward us—that’s when you sounded your horn and waved wildly to me. My daughter was about a meter from the path of the police car, hidden from their view by your car.”可知,“我”看到警车向我疾驰而来,这时你按响了喇叭,疯狂地向“我”挥手。“我”女儿离警车的车道大约一米远,你的车挡住了他们的视线。据此可推知,那位女士按响喇叭是为了引起这位母亲的注意,提醒她注意她女儿的安全,故D项正确。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知,当看到小女孩面临危险时,那位女士按响喇叭,并疯狂地向小女孩的母亲挥手;并结合第三段第一、二句“I screamed her name and ran toward her. She stopped and was shocked by the rush of the police car as it sped past.”可知,警车疾驰而过,“我”的女儿安然无恙;据此可推知,那位女士反应快速、正确,挽救了小女孩的生命,故C项正确。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一、二句“She wondered why I picked her up and burst into tears. My legs gave way as I reached the other side of the road.”可知,女儿不知道“我”为什么把她抱起来并突然大哭;当“我”走到路的另一边时,“我”的腿软了;结合上文可知,一位女士的提醒使“我”的女儿避免了车祸;据此可推知,抓住女儿时,这位母亲既害怕,又感到宽慰,故B项正确。
C
English is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower, while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say boo to a goose.
None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of go-getting, high achievers, shy people don’t come first. Or that’s what the self-help industry would have you believe. Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.
Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life, being shy can also be "a gift". Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.
Indeed, many of the world’s great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人). Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.
Moran told BBC Future: "I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家), really-you are more likely to be an observer."
So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don’t necessarily have the best ideas.
If you’re shy, you’ve probably known this for a long time. You just don’t shout about it.
8. When someone is being called a wallflower, he is being ________.
A. praised for his grace B. admired for his character
C. laughed at for his shyness D. told off for his nervousness
9. The underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. going against the trend and succeeds
B. changing the public idea completely
C. becoming unpopular and unaccepted
D. becoming the major concern of people
10. The author mentioned many famous shy people in order to ________.
A. point out the harm shyness brings
B. disconnect shyness and success
C. shows the reasons for shyness
D. prove shyness contributes to science
11. What is the author’s attitude towards shyness
A. Opposed. B. Indifferent.
C. Supportive. D. Critical.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】作者通过畅销书和大量实例说明害羞不一定是坏事,它和成功没有必然联系。害羞是洞察世界的一种新方式。
【8题详解】
C推理判断题。根据第一段Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower和第二段None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions可知,被称为shrinking violet或 wallflower都不是积极的褒义的称谓,是别人在嘲笑自己的害羞,故选C。
【9题详解】
A猜测词义题。上句Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business.可知,书店畅销的都是帮助克服恐惧,在生活、爱和商业方面成功的巨著。下句It became a sudden success说明Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness这本书与畅销书内容不同,却很成功。所以划线词语“bucks the trend”指与社会潮流相违背却很成功,故选A。
【10题详解】
B推理判断题。根据第四段Indeed, many of the world’s great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).和下面列举的Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Keira Knightley和JK Rowling几个成功人士曾经也很害羞的例子,目的是为了说明成功和害羞没有必然的联系,故选B。
【11题详解】
C推理判断题。根据第二段Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success可知,这本书很成功。第三段being shy can also be "a gift",people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.可知,害羞是看世界的一种新方式。第四段Indeed, many of the world’s great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).可知,许多害羞的人很成功。最后一段内向和外向进行了对比。由此可知作者对害羞不是反对和批评,而是支持和赞成。故选C。
【名师点睛】
推理判断题属于主观题,是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上,做出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息,推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。
一、常见的推理判断题的考法:
1)推测作者写作目的或意图。小题3考查作者举例的目的,根据第四段Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).和下面列举的Charles Darwin,Albert Einstein,Keira Knightley和JK Rowling几个成功人士曾经也很害羞的例子,目的是为了说明成功和害羞没有必然的联系。
2)推测文章的观点或结论。小题1考查什么人被称为wallflower,根据第一段Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower和第二段None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions可知被称为shrinking violet或 wallflower都不是积极的褒义的称谓,是别人在嘲笑自己的害羞。小题4考查作者对待害羞的态度,根据第二段Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success可知这本书很成功。第三段being shy can also be "a gift",people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.可知害羞是看世界的一种新方式。第四段Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).可知许多害羞的人很成功。最后一段内向和外向进行了对比。由此可知作者对害羞不是反对和批评,而是支持和赞成。

Researchers are looking into new ways to generate efficient photovoltaic energy (光伏能源) and for this they have been inspired by the v-shaped posture of the Cabbage White butterfly(菜粉蝶).
Photovoltaic energy is the science behind solar power, where light is turned into electricity. It is a two-set process. Step one is a photoelectric effect, caused by sunlight. The second step is an electrochemical process, which generates an electric current.
To improve the collection of sunlight, a research group has been inspired by the resting posture of the Cabbage White butterfly. The species has a natural range across Europe, Asia, and North Africa. To many farmers, the butterflies are regarded as a pest; to others, they are pretty to look at. To one research group the butterflies are an inspiration.
The butterfly adopts a v-shape in order to heat up its flight muscles before taking off. By creating solar panels(太阳能电池板)in this formation,scientists think that the quantity of power that a solar panel can produce can be increased by around 50 percent.
The Cabbage White butterfly is different to many other butterflies in using the v-formation. On cloudy days butterflies need to wait to receive enough sunlight in order to fly. However, by using the v-posture, the Cabbage White butterfly is able to take in more energy more quickly than other butterflies. In addition, the butterfly can reflect sunlight from its wings, which allows its flight muscles to be warmed to an ideal temperature.
The new research was conducted at the University of Exeter's Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) and the Centre for Ecology and Conservation. Discussing the findings with Laboratory Manager magazine, lead researcher Professor Tapas Mallick stated :"Biomimicry(仿生学)in engineering is not new. However, this research shows pathways to develop low cost solar power that have not been done before. "
12. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The future of solar power
B. The butterfly effect theory
C. Cool things about the Cabbage White butterfly
D. Butterflies contribute to solar power revolution
13. What is the main purpose of Cabbage White butterflies using the v-posture
A. To look prettier. B. To take a good rest.
C. To prepare for flight. D. To protect themselves.
14. What is Tapas Mallick's attitude towards the research
A. Positive. B. Casual
C. Skeptical. D. Disapproving.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A lesson plan. B. A book review.
C. A science report. D. A personal diary.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为科普环保类阅读。为了提高阳光的收集,一个研究小组受到了卷心菜白蝴蝶休息姿势的启发,正在研究新的方法来生成高效的光伏能源,这项研究表明,开发低成本太阳能的途径是前所未有的。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,研究人员受到了卷心菜白蝴蝶休息姿势的启发研究高效的光伏能源,选项D符合题意。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据The butterfly adopts a v-shape in order to heat up its flight muscles before taking off. 可知,卷心菜白蝴蝶采用v型姿势是为了准备飞行,故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Tapas Mallick所说的话“Biomimicry(仿生学)in engineering is not new. However, this research shows pathways to develop low cost solar power that have not been done before.”可知,Tapas Mallick对这项研究持积极态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述利用仿生学研究光伏能源,因此这篇文章最有可能摘自于科学报告,故选C。

Early in the morning I went to the ocean beach to play my guitar.The usually crowded beach was deserted except for two people.On one side of the boardwalk (木板人行道)was a woman who was cleaning the beach with a broom;on the other side was a lone figure sitting and staring at the sea.I chose a spot between them and began to play.
As I played,the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me.She stopped sweeping and leaned on her broom,smiling at me.She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.
"You sure play beautiful music,” she said.“I think my friend would like your music.I want to hire you to play for her.” She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean, then produced a few coins from her pocket.“I don’t have much,and I know you’re worth a lot, but if I give this to you, will you play a song for her She’s going through a lot.I know the music will make her feel better.”
I told her I’d be happy to play for free.
As we walked over to her friend,the Broom Lady told me that her friend had not talked for weeks.We approached,and the Broom Lady introduced me,“Annie,I got you a present to cheer you up.It’s a guitar man who is going to play a song specially for you.”
Annie didn’t move.She was wearing dark sunglasses and had an old coat pulled up to cover most of her face.
I sat next to Annie and played.As I played I put every thought into having good things happen for this woman.I played for quite a while.
Suddenly,Annie turned toward me and said,“You make it so beautiful.I can feel it inside my heart.”

If there were a photographer passing by, I am sure he would not miss the opportunity to take a picture.
When I stopped playing and looked up,I was shocked to see a small crowed around us. They were watching and listening attentively to us.

It was about seven years ago. I just picked up my three year old daughter from the nursery. I was weighed down with shopping bags, and with my daughter’s things. We arrived at a pedestrian crossing and she pressed the button. In the distance, I heard alarms, told my daughter to wait and watched a police car approaching.
Little did I know, as the_green_man flashed, that my daughter had begun to run into the road. I watched the police car speed toward us—that’s when you sounded your horn and waved wildly to me. My daughter was about a meter from the path of the police car, hidden from their view by your car.
I screamed her name and ran toward her. She stopped and was shocked by the rush of the police car as it sped past. She wondered why you had blown your horn, asking, “Mom, why was that woman so rude?” not realizing you had saved her life.
She wondered why I picked her up and burst into tears. My legs gave way as I reached the other side of the road. I should have followed my “wait” with a hand on her shoulder, or an explanation of why we were ignoring the green man this time, especially as I had in effect conditioned her to cross the road at the sight of the green flash.
I beat myself up for months, and still do, with flashbacks and horrible assumptions about what might have been. But for your sounding your horn, seeing what I hadn’t seen, I would have been left a mother on the other side of the road, totally broken. I apologize for putting you in that position—I can imagine that it upset you, too. You saved her life and I am so grateful.
4. What does the underlined part “the green man” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. A pedestrian. B. A policeman.
C. A traffic sign. D. A button.
5. Why did the woman sound her horn
A. To stop the police car.

English is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower, while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say boo to a goose.
None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of go-getting, high achievers, shy people don’t come first. Or that’s what the self-help industry would have you believe. Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.
Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life, being shy can also be "a gift". Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.
Indeed, many of the world’s great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人). Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.
Moran told BBC Future: "I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家), really-you are more likely to be an observer."
So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don’t necessarily have the best ideas.
If you’re shy, you’ve probably known this for a long time. You just don’t shout about it.
8. When someone is being called a wallflower, he is being ________.
A. praised for his grace B. admired for his character
C. laughed at for his shyness D. told off for his nervousness
9. The underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. going against the trend and succeeds
B. changing the public idea completely
C. becoming unpopular and unaccepted
D. becoming the major concern of people
10. The author mentioned many famous shy people in order to ________.
A. point out the harm shyness brings
B. disconnect shyness and success
C. shows the reasons for shyness
D. prove shyness contributes to science
11. What is the author’s attitude towards shyness
A. Opposed. B. Indifferent.
C. Supportive. D. Critical.
D
Researchers are looking into new ways to generate efficient photovoltaic energy (光伏能源) and for this they have been inspired by the v-shaped posture of the Cabbage White butterfly(菜粉蝶).
Photovoltaic energy is the science behind solar power, where light is turned into electricity. It is a two-set process. Step one is a photoelectric effect, caused by sunlight. The second step is an electrochemical process, which generates an electric current.
To improve the collection of sunlight a research group has been inspired by the resting posture of the Cabbage White butterfly. The species has a natural range across Europe, Asia, and North Africa. To many farmers, the butterflies are regarded as a pest; to others, they are pretty to look at. To one research group the butterflies are an inspiration.
The butterfly adopts a v-shape in order to heat up its flight muscles before taking off. By creating solar panels(太阳能电池板)in this formation,scientists think that the quantity of power that a solar panel can produce can be increased by around 50 percent.
The Cabbage White butterfly is different to many other butterflies in using the v-formation. On cloudy days butterflies need to wait to receive enough sunlight in order to fly. However, by using the v-posture, the Cabbage White butterfly is able to take in more energy more quickly than other butterflies. In addition, the butterfly can reflect sunlight from its wings, which allows its flight muscles to be warmed to an ideal temperature.
The new research was conducted at the University of Exeter's Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) and the Centre for Ecology and Conservation. Discussing the findings with Laboratory Manager magazine, lead researcher Professor Tapas Mallick stated :"Biomimicry(仿生学)in engineering is not new. However, this research shows pathways to develop low cost solar power that have not been done before. "
12. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The future of solar power
B. The butterfly effect theory
C. Cool things about the Cabbage White butterfly
D. Butterflies contribute to solar power revolution
13. What is the main purpose of Cabbage White butterflies using the v-posture
A. To look prettier. B. To take a good rest.
C. To prepare for flight. D. To protect themselves.
14. What is Tapas Mallick's attitude towards the research
A. Positive. B. Casual
C. Skeptical. D. Disapproving.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A lesson plan. B. A book review.
C. A science report. D. A personal diary.

Early in the morning I went to the ocean beach to play my guitar.The usually crowded beach was deserted except for two people.On one side of the boardwalk (木板人行道)was a woman who was cleaning the beach with a broom;on the other side was a lone figure sitting and staring at the sea.I chose a spot between them and began to play.
As I played,the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me.She stopped sweeping and leaned on her broom,smiling at me.She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.
"You sure play beautiful music,” she said.“I think my friend would like your music.I want to hire you to play for her.” She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean, then produced a few coins from her pocket.“I don’t have much,and I know you’re worth a lot, but if I give this to you, will you play a song for her She’s going through a lot.I know the music will make her feel better.”
I told her I’d be happy to play for free.
As we walked over to her friend,the Broom Lady told me that her friend had not talked for weeks.We approached,and the Broom Lady introduced me,“Annie,I got you a present to cheer you up.It’s a guitar man who is going to play a song specially for you.”
Annie didn’t move.She was wearing dark sunglasses and had an old coat pulled up to cover most of her face.
I sat next to Annie and played.As I played I put every thought into having good things happen for this woman.I played for quite a while.
Suddenly,Annie turned toward me and said,“You make it so beautiful.I can feel it inside my heart.”
Paragraph 1:
She took off her sunglasses.
