新高考英語總復(fù)習(xí)提升題 閱讀理解：說明文（解析版）

大題03閱讀理解說明文

s?@?

說明文所選材料題材豐富多樣，涉及社會(huì)、科技、文化、生活、人物、教育、生態(tài)、安全等方面。在

高考英語閱讀理解中，說明文所占比重尤為突出。它既要求考生能熟練運(yùn)用詞匯和語法知識、理解文章語

句、把握語篇整體結(jié)構(gòu)，還要求學(xué)生有大量的閱讀積淀和知識儲備，熟悉不同的話題和不同的題目考查方

式。即便是細(xì)節(jié)理解題，大多數(shù)情況下考生也無法從文章中直接找到與選項(xiàng)表述完全一致的信息，而是需

要在理解文章細(xì)節(jié)信息后作出歸納和判斷。通常一套卷中主旨大意、詞義猜測、寫作意圖/觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度類高難

度試題的考查數(shù)量為2道左右，說明文考查此類題目的頻率較高，且命題點(diǎn)呈多樣化。

【答案】28.B29.D30.C31.D

【導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。沒有人是一座孤島，文章陳述了“群體智慧”效應(yīng)。實(shí)驗(yàn)表明，在某些情況下大量獨(dú)

立估計(jì)的平均值可能是相當(dāng)準(zhǔn)確的。

28.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容“Thiseffectcapitalizesonthefactthatwhenpeoplemakeerrors,thoseerrors

aren'talwaysthesame.Somepeoplewilltendtooverestimate,andcometounderestimate.Whenenoughofthese

errorsareaveragedtogether,theycanceleachotherout,resultinginamoreaccurateestimate.Ifpeoplearesimilar

andtendtomakethesameerrors,thentheirerrorswon'tcanceleachotherout.Inmoretechnicalterms,the

wisdomofcrowdsrequiresthatpeople'sestimatesbeindependent.Ifforwhateverreasons,peopleserrorsbecome

correlatedordependent,theaccuracyoftheestimatewillgodown.（這種效應(yīng)利用了這樣一個(gè)事實(shí)，即當(dāng)人們犯

錯(cuò)誤時(shí)，這些錯(cuò)誤并不總是相同的。有些人常常會(huì)高估，或者低估。當(dāng)這些誤差中有足夠多的誤差被平均

在一起時(shí)，它們會(huì)相互抵消，從而產(chǎn)生更準(zhǔn)確的估計(jì)。如果相似的人傾向于犯同樣的錯(cuò)誤，那么他們的錯(cuò)

誤不會(huì)相互抵消。從更專業(yè)的角度來說，群眾的智慧要求人們的估計(jì)是獨(dú)立的。如果由于任何原因，人們

的錯(cuò)誤變得相關(guān)或依賴，估計(jì)的準(zhǔn)確性就會(huì)下降）”可知，本段闡述了人們所犯的錯(cuò)誤不總是相同的，各不相

同的誤差平均在一起，相互抵消就會(huì)產(chǎn)生更準(zhǔn)確的估計(jì)，討論了獨(dú)立估計(jì)的平均如何由于誤差的消除而產(chǎn)

生更準(zhǔn)確的預(yù)測。因此本段主要解釋了“群體智慧”效應(yīng)這一現(xiàn)象的基本邏輯。故選B。

29.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“Inmoretechnicalterms,thewisdomofcrowdsrequiresthatpeople'sestimatesbe

independent.（從更專業(yè)的角度來說，群眾的智慧要求人們的估計(jì)是獨(dú)立的）”和第三段的“Thekeyfindingofthe

studywasthatwhencrowdswerefurtherdividedintosmallergroupsthatwereallowedtohaveadiscussion,the

averagesfromthesegroupsweremoreaccuratethanthosefromanequalnumberofindependentindividuals.For

instance,theaverageobtainedfromtheestimatesoffourdiscussiongroupsoffivewassignificantlymoreaccurate

thantheaverageobtainedfrom20independentindividuals.（這項(xiàng)研究的關(guān)鍵發(fā)現(xiàn)是，當(dāng)人群被進(jìn)一步劃分為允

許進(jìn)行討論的小組時(shí)，這些小組的平均值比同等數(shù)量的獨(dú)立個(gè)體的平均值更準(zhǔn)確。例如，從四個(gè)五人討論

組的估計(jì)中獲得的平均值明顯比從20個(gè)獨(dú)立個(gè)體獲得的平均值更準(zhǔn)確）”可知，人們在沒有獨(dú)立的情況下，

分成更小群體，平均值是更準(zhǔn)確的，說明即使在估計(jì)數(shù)字并非完全獨(dú)立的情況下，準(zhǔn)確率提高也是可以做

到的。故選D。

30.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的“Inafollow-upstudywith100universitystudents,theresearcherstriedtogeta

bettersenseofwhatthegroupmembersactuallydidintheirdiscussion.Didtheytendtogowiththosemost

confidentabouttheirestimates?Didtheyfollowthoseleastwillingtochangetheirminds?（在一項(xiàng)針對100名大

學(xué)生的后續(xù)研究中，研究人員試圖更好地了解小組成員在討論中的實(shí)際行為。他們是否傾向于選擇那些對

自己的估計(jì)最有信心的人？他們追隨那些最不愿意改變主意的人嗎）”可知，在后續(xù)研究中，研究人員試圖更

好地了解小組成員在討論中實(shí)際做了什么。結(jié)合兩個(gè)問題，因此可知后續(xù)研究的重點(diǎn)是小組內(nèi)的討論過程。

故選C。

31.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容“AlthoughthestudiesledbyNavajashavelimitationsandmanyquestions

remain,thepotentialimplicationsforgroupdiscussionanddecision-makingareenormous.（盡管Navajas領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的研

究有局限性，仍存在許多問題，但對小組討論和決策的潛在影響是巨大的）''可知，作者認(rèn)為雖然Navajas領(lǐng)

導(dǎo)的研究有局限性也存在許多問題，但對小組討論和決策的潛在影響巨大。因此推斷作者對于Navajas的研

究表示一定的贊許和支持。故選D。

說明文閱讀量大，生僻詞匯多，句式結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，這就需要考生有方法有技巧地去閱讀。一般我們采用

的方法有三個(gè)：細(xì)讀、略讀和跳讀。

(1)細(xì)讀重點(diǎn)。重點(diǎn)，就原文而言，就是文章的基本結(jié)構(gòu)、內(nèi)容和態(tài)度；就答題而言，就

是問題所對應(yīng)的題源句。以這個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來衡量，需要重點(diǎn)閱讀的原文詞句就不會(huì)很多。

宏觀方面：文章結(jié)構(gòu)；文章主題句；各段首末句；體現(xiàn)作者觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度的詞句。

微觀方面：有轉(zhuǎn)折處；重要標(biāo)點(diǎn)；句子主干。

(2)有選擇地略讀或跳讀。在快速瀏覽了題干，初步把握了文章大意及結(jié)構(gòu)的基礎(chǔ)上，可大膽進(jìn)行略讀或

跳讀，這樣不但可以加快閱讀速度，還更容易總體把握全文。在閱讀中可略讀或跳讀的內(nèi)容包括：

①繁瑣的例證。為了說明問題，作者可能會(huì)借用形象的例子，有時(shí)候會(huì)比較繁瑣，雖能說明問題，但需要

讀者花很多時(shí)間去閱讀。如果例子所說明的問題不明了，可通過略讀來理解；若例子所說明的問題比較明

T,則例子部分可一帶而過。

②并列多項(xiàng)列舉。有時(shí)許多功能相同的項(xiàng)目并列列舉，那么只讀其中一兩項(xiàng)即可，無需

全讀。

③無關(guān)大局的生僻詞匯。閱讀中經(jīng)常會(huì)遇到一些生詞，如果這些生詞對理解全文沒有影響或影響不大就可

略過。

④較長的人名、地名。有許多較長的表示人名、地名等的專有名詞，閱讀時(shí)可一掃而過或干脆用其首字母

代替，不必試圖把整個(gè)專有名詞讀出來。

在略讀過程中，要特別注意對解題有重要意義的詞、句、段等，并將其儲存在大腦里，以免回頭再查

看費(fèi)時(shí)費(fèi)力。

【答案】28.B29.A30.D31.A

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了“稟賦效應(yīng)”的現(xiàn)象，并建議消除對物質(zhì)財(cái)富的情感依戀，更準(zhǔn)確

地評估物品的價(jià)值。

28.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)上文“Foryou,eachitemhasastory（對你來說，每件物品都有一個(gè)故事）”和下文的

emotions可知，此處是指一些物品可能會(huì)“喚起”一些情感，所以推知?jiǎng)澗€詞是“引起、喚起”的意思。故選B

項(xiàng)。

29.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段"Let'ssayyou'resellingapairofspecialeditionsportsshoesthatyoutookcare

ofandreallyenjoyedwearingonspecialoccasions.Withthesesweetmemoriesinmind,youputapricetagof$130

ontheshoes.（假設(shè)你正在銷售一雙特別版的運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋，你很喜歡在特殊場合穿它。帶著這些甜蜜的回憶，你給

這雙鞋標(biāo)上了130美元的價(jià)格。廣可知，你對這雙鞋的喜愛讓你給這雙鞋貼上了130美元的價(jià)格標(biāo)簽。故選

A項(xiàng)。

30.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“Economistssuggestthisdynamicoccursthroughtheendowmenteffect

（稟賦效應(yīng)）一people'stendencytovaluethingstheyownmorehighlythantheywouldiftheydidnotownthem.（經(jīng)

更有價(jià)值。）”可知，一個(gè)人對某物收取比平常更高的價(jià)格，最能說明稟賦效應(yīng)的結(jié)果。故選D項(xiàng)。

31.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Thepastisthepast,though.Removingyouremotionalattachmentto

過去的就讓它過去吧。消除對物質(zhì)財(cái)富的情感依戀可以幫助你更準(zhǔn)確地評估你的物品到底值多少錢。）”可知，

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了神經(jīng)學(xué)家艾瑞斯?亞當(dāng)對于為什么鳥唱得這么多歌的研究。

28.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段中"Theymayhavetosingaloteverydaytogivetheirvocal（發(fā)聲的）musclesthe

regularexercisetheyneedtoproducetop-qualitysongs.（它們可能每天都要唱很多歌，讓它們的聲帶肌肉得到

定期鍛煉，從而創(chuàng)作出高質(zhì)量的歌曲）”可知，亞當(dāng)認(rèn)為鳥兒每天都要唱很多歌，是為了更加完美地演唱。故

選C。

29.詞句猜測題。由戈!J線詞上文“Shepreventedthemfromsingingforaweekbykeepingtheminthedarkcage

almostaroundtheclock.（她把它們關(guān)在黑暗的籠子里，整整一個(gè)星期不讓它們唱歌）“和下文"soshehadto

worktokeepthemwarbling”可知，光是刺激鳥兒歌唱的東西，所以她必須努力不讓它們鳴叫，她把它們

關(guān)在黑暗的籠子里。由此可知，劃線詞的含義為“刺激”。A.Prepares準(zhǔn)備；B.Stimulates刺激；C.Forbids

禁止；D.Frightens使驚嚇。故選B。

30.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第四段“Afteraweek,thebirds5singingmuscleslosthalftheirstrength.ButAdam

【答案】28.C29.A30.A31.B

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了銀杏樹的歷史、特點(diǎn)、傳播以及現(xiàn)狀，通過科學(xué)家和專家的

觀點(diǎn)和研究來闡述銀杏樹在自然界和人類文化中的重要地位，同時(shí)也探討了銀杏樹面臨的一些挑戰(zhàn)和未來

發(fā)展的趨勢。

28.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第——段“Scientistsaredocumentingevidenceoftheeventhappeninglaterandlater,apossible

indicationofclimatechange.（科學(xué)家們正在記錄這一事件發(fā)生得越來越晚的證據(jù)，這可能是氣候變化的一個(gè)

跡象）”可推知，全球變暖現(xiàn)象可能是導(dǎo)致銀杏落葉時(shí)間進(jìn)一步推遲的原因。故選C項(xiàng)。

29.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段“Onetheoryforthedeclineoftheginkgospeciesbegan130millionyearsago,when

floweringplantsbeganspreading.Theygrewfasterandattractedmorepollinators（傳粉者）thanginkgos."It's

possiblethatginkgoswereelbowedoutoftheway,“saysCrane.Alreadycompetingtosurvive,ginkgosbeganto

11,000yearsago,theremainingsurvivorswerefoundinChina.（關(guān)于銀杏物種衰落的一種理論始于1.3億年前，

當(dāng)時(shí)開花植物開始傳播。它們的生長速度比銀杏快，吸引了更多的傳粉者。“有可能銀杏被擠出了生存的道

路，”克雷恩說。已經(jīng)在為生存而競爭的銀杏，在全球變冷時(shí)期開始消失，這一時(shí)期大約始于6600萬年前。

到最后一個(gè)冰河時(shí)代結(jié)束前的nooo年，剩下的幸存者在中國被發(fā)現(xiàn)）”可知，本段主要講述了銀杏樹幾乎滅

絕的原因，包括與其他植物的競爭以及全球變冷等因素。因此，本段的主要內(nèi)容是關(guān)于銀杏樹幾乎滅絕的

原因。故選A項(xiàng)。

30.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"Thosesameseedsmayhavehelpedginkgofindfavorwithhumans1,000years

ago.Oncecleanedoftheirouterlayer,ginkgoseedsaresafetoeat.Ifsthen,whenthetreeshadlongsince

用。然后，當(dāng)這些樹在其他地方早已消失的時(shí)候，中國人可能已經(jīng)開始種植它們并食用它們的種子。然后

銀杏逐漸傳播到世界各地?，F(xiàn)在它似乎對昆蟲和高水平的空氣污染具有天然的抵抗力）”可知，銀杏樹能夠生

存下來，部分原因是因?yàn)樗鼈兊姆N子可以被人類食用。故選A項(xiàng)。

31.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段"Craneisn'tworriedaboutitsfuture,though:Thepopularityofthespecieswill

helpitsurvive."Thoughitsstatusinthewildmaybedifficulttoaccess,it'saplantthafsunlikelytoevergo

extinct,"hesays.（不過，克雷恩并不擔(dān)心它的未來：這個(gè)物種的受歡迎程度將有助于它的生存?！氨M管它在野

外的地位可能難以評估，但它是一種不太可能滅絕的植物，”他說）”可知，專
