2019-2020年高考英語大二輪復(fù)習(xí) 第一部分 閱讀理解 專題一 閱讀理解 第4講 詞義猜測題即時演練xx重慶一診A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it es to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from Nat West that has started a fiveyear research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before. University tuition fees (學(xué)費) are currently capped at 3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to_raise_the_ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 percent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average 31,000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just 17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than 10,000. Average debts for graduates are 12,363.Stephen Moir, head of munity investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns Nat West, said. “The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they bee aware of them, the more likely they are to bee responsible， forwardplanning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively.”Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of students loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15, from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.本文是關(guān)于英國的研究機構(gòu)的一份調(diào)查，表明大部分青少年對錢的問題認(rèn)識不深，他們大多數(shù)過高估計了未來賺錢的前景，對他們以后可能要負(fù)擔(dān)的債務(wù)也沒有認(rèn)識。1Which of the following can be found from the fiveyear research project?AStudents understand personal finances differently.BUniversity tuition fees in England have been rising.CTeenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.DThe students payback ability has bee a major issue.答案：C 考查推理判斷。從第一段第一句話“most of them are ignorant when it es to money”可以得出答案，“青少年傾向于過高估計了他們未來賺錢的前景”而沒有意識到他們會在未來面臨的各種債務(wù)，故選C項。2The underlined phrase “to raise the ceiling” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”Ato raise the student loansBto improve the school facilitiesCto increase the upper limit of the tuitionDto lift the school building roofs答案：C 考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)上下文的意思，推測“raise the ceiling”的意思，很顯然，不是A項“增加學(xué)生的貸款”，不是B項“改善學(xué)校的設(shè)施”，也不是D項“增高學(xué)校建筑的屋頂”，他們都不是第二段里提到的意思，那么就只能選擇C項“提供學(xué)費的上限”。3.According to Stephen Moir, students_.Aare too young to be exposed to financial issuesBshould learn to manage their finances wellCshould maintain a positive attitude when facing loansDbenefit a lot from lessons on personal finance答案：B 考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段Stephen Moir說的話，來歸納出他的觀點，就是“學(xué)生們應(yīng)該學(xué)會更好地理財”。4What can we learn from the passage?AMany British teenagers do not know money matters well.BTeenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.CFinancial planning is a required course at college.DYoung people should bee responsible adults.答案：A 考查主旨大意。閱覽本文后，概括出大意，得A項為答案，即“很多英國的青少年沒有很好地認(rèn)識錢的問題”。B項是“英國的青少年有很沉重的債務(wù)負(fù)擔(dān)”，C項是“財政計劃是大學(xué)里的必修課”，D項“年輕人應(yīng)該對成年人負(fù)責(zé)”都偏離了文章大意，所以不選。1background n. 背景 2.burden vt./n. 負(fù)擔(dān)；責(zé)任3predict vt. 預(yù)測；預(yù)告 4.finance n. 財政；金融5personal adj. 個人的；私人的1in debt 負(fù)債 2.be concerned about 對擔(dān)憂3benefit from 從中受益原文：the younger they bee aware of them, the more likely they are to bee responsible.(the比較級， the比較級)譯文：他們越年輕意識到他們(經(jīng)濟問題)，他們越可能變得負(fù)責(zé)。仿寫：The_harder you work, the_greater_progress you will make.你越用功，進(jìn)步就越大。Bxx山西四校聯(lián)考二Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but the brave 32yearold man, plays football and golf, swims, and surfs. Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and enables him to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes.“I call it my chicken drumstick，” joked Nick. “Id be lost without it. When I get in the water I float because 80 percent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller (螺旋槳)” When Nick was born, his father was so shocked he left the hospital room to vomit. His distraught mother couldnt bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.“It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. My dad put me in the water when I was 18 months old and gave me the courage to learn how to swim，” said Nick.Throughout his childhood Nick dealt with the typical challenges. At the age of seven, Nick tried out some specially designed electronic arms and legs, in the hope that he would be more like other kids. During the short trial period of the electronic arms and legs, Nick realized that even with them, he was still unlike his peers at school, and they turned out to be much too heavy for Nick to operate, affecting his flexibility quite significantly.“When I was 13 I read a newspaper article about a disabled man who had managed to achieve great things and help others，” said Nick, “I realized why God had made us like thisto give hope to others. It was so inspirational to me that I decided to use my life to encourage others and decided to be thankful for what I do have, not get angry about what I dont.”“I tell people to keep on getting up when they fall and to always love themselves，” he said. “If I can encourage just one person then my job in this life is done.” By now, he has visited 35 different countries, touring the world as a motivational speaker.本文講述了演說家Nick Vujicic身殘志堅的故事。5What makes it possible for Nick to swim in the water?AHis small size. BHis small foot.CHis light weight. DHis big lungs.答案：B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段的第二句“Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and enables him to kick”并結(jié)合第二段中的“my drumstick acts as a propeller (螺旋槳)”可知，Nick的小腳使其游泳成為可能，故選B項。6The underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”Acoldblooded BbadtemperedCreally crazy Dextremely upset答案：D考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段的第一句“When Nick was born, his father was so shocked he left the hospital room to vomit”可推知，Nick剛出生時的樣子嚇到了父母，當(dāng)時Nick的母親應(yīng)該是很難過的，故選D項。7Nick abandoned the electronic arms and legs because_ _.Ahis family couldnt afford themBhis classmates didnt like themCthey were too heavy to handleDthey affected his appearance答案：C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段最后一句中的“and they turned out to be much too heavy for Nick to operate, affecting his flexibility quite significantly”可知，電動的胳膊和腿太沉了，使他的靈活性大受影響，因此在嘗試一段時間后，他不再使用它們了，故選C項。8Which of the following statements is true?ANicks parents were very strict with him.BNicks family accepted his disability at his birth.CNicks mother was to blame for his disability.DNick learned to be independent at a young age.答案：D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段的內(nèi)容可知，Nick在他18個月大時，他的父母就開始培養(yǎng)他的獨立性，故選D項。1shock v/n. 休克；震驚2independent adj. 獨立的3disabled adj. 殘廢的，有缺陷的4thankful adj. 感激的；欣慰的5encourage vt. 鼓勵1act as 充當(dāng)；擔(dān)當(dāng)2.try out 嘗試，試驗3turn out 結(jié)果是；證明是；生產(chǎn)原文：During the short trial period of the electronic arms and legs，., and they turned out to be much too heavy for Nick to operate, affecting his flexibility quite significantly. (too.to.結(jié)構(gòu))譯文：在他短期嘗試電子臂和腿時，這些電子臂和腿對Nick來說太重了而不能操作，在很大意義上嚴(yán)重影響了他的靈活性。仿寫：Because of the serious illness, she was too_weak_ to_join_us_in the outing.由于這場重病，她太虛弱了而不能加入到我們的旅行中。
