英语阅读高考真题说题稿,英语阅读高考真题

许多人把英语学科看成文科，以为不需要数学思维。但高考英语阅读理解中的数学题，恰是一种将语言和数学相结合的题目。从数学角度看，高考英语阅读理解中的数学题难度不高，但陷阱不少。下面以一些历年高考英语真题、模拟题的相关题型为例，分析题目特点，总结解题方法。

2019年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试2卷C篇第28题如下：

What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?

A. Food variety.

B. Eating habits.

C. Table manners.

D. Restaurant service.

此题问的是第2段中的数据反映什么。原文第2段如下：

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half（53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore，74 percent，according to statistics from the report.

原文讲的是46%的人独自用餐（被动语态），超过53%的人独自吃早餐，46%的人独自吃午餐。74%的人会群聚吃晚餐。由此可知这些数据反映的是人们的用餐习惯，因此对应的是B。

2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试1卷阅读理解C篇第30题如下：

How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present

A.About 6 800

B.About 3 400

C.About 2.400

D.About 1-200

题干中的关键词是languaged, spoken , at present以及重要的数字6000。 在一篇英语文章中找数字比找单词容易，我们可以很容易找到原文中的6000这个数字。

原文The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6.000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.

此段讲的是语言使用者的中位数是6000，这意味着世界上一半的语言被少于那（个数字）的人所使用。

能否做对此题便取决于考生能否理解“中位数”这一概念。哪怕考生不懂统计学，也可以从字面义大约推断出来。百度百科对“中位数”的定义解释是：“中位数（Median）又称中值，统计学中的专有名词，是按顺序排列的一组数据中居于中间位置的数。” 套回这篇文章，按使用人数从低到高排列，每种语言各有不同的使用人数，那么排在中间的语言的使用人数就是中位数。那么总共有多少种语言呢？本段首句已经揭示----At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. 因此本题答案就是6800的一半即3400，选B。

有的考生会思虑深远。因为这段话中间部分列举了不同地区多种语言的使用人数，于是考生可能会花时间去计算出这些语言的使用总人数，再来除以2。这样虽然也能算出正确答案，但是绕了远路，答案其实就是本段首句。

2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试1卷D篇第34题如下：

Which of the following uses the least energy?

A. The box-set TV.

B. The tablet.

C. The LCD TV.

D. The desktop computer.

这道题看起来不是直接的数学计算题，但实际上对应的是不同年代的电器。原文如下：

We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.

此段最后一句非常关键，即在做同样的事情时，过时的电器比新电器消耗更多的能源。也就是说，最新发明的电器，耗能越少。由常识可知，上述四类电器中，最新发明的是tablet平板电脑，因此选B。

2020届天河区普通高中毕业班综合测试（二）英语卷阅读理解A篇有一道数学题：

How much should they pay if a school party of 15 persons book tickets?

A.$135

B.$126

C.$90

D.$84

这篇文章主要讲了一个剧院的票价。如果要正确解出答案，由于文章里包含了面对不同人群的多种优惠标价，因此考生第一是要锁定哪一荐是对就school的，第二是看看具体细则。

原文：Schools:school parties of ten or more can book $9 tickets in advance and will get every 10th ticket free.

翻译：大于或等于10人的学校团队可以享受每张9美元的预订票价，并且每10张票的第10张免费。

分析：这句话代表如果买10张票，那么实际付的是9张票的钱。15人买票，则要支付14张票的钱，即9美元*14=126美元。

2018年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试2卷A篇

23.How?long?does?Potty?about?Potter?last?

A. Two?days. B. Four?days.

C. Five?days. D. One?week.

原文

Potty about Potter(POT)

Visit Warner Bros Studio, shop stop to buy picnic, stay overnight in an approved Youth Hostel in Streatley-on -Thames, guided tour of Oxford to see the film locations, picnic lunch outside Oxford’s Christchurch, boating on the River Cherwell through the University Parks, before heading back to Exeter.

Can a small group of drones guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today's "eyes in the sky" technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.

一小群无人机可以保证铁路的安全和可靠性，同时帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元吗？这就是应用当今“空中之眼”技术确保全世界数百万公里的铁路轨道和基础设施全天候安全的未来。

Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient across the board.

无人机已经被用来检查高压电线。它们可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面，如铁路轨道和变轨点的正确位置。越是定期检查，铁路的安全性、可靠性和准时性就越高。全面削减成本，提高运营效率。

That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.

这可以节省大量维护成本，更好地保护铁路人员安全。据计算，仅欧洲铁路维护每年就要花费约200亿欧元，包括派遣维护人员（通常在夜间）检查和维修铁路基础设施。这是件危险的工作，无人机协助工作人员则可以避免。

By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.

通过使用最新技术，无人机还可以开始为铁路提供更高价值的服务，在铁路或道岔出现任何安全问题之前检测出故障。为了执行这些任务，铁路无人机不需要在头顶飞行。工程师们现在正在研究一个新概念：未来的轨道无人机。它们将在列车前方的轨道上移动，编制好程序自动运行。配备先进传感器和人工智能的微型无人机可以像副驾驶一样引导列车前行。凭借它们的前瞻能力，它们可以发出任何问题的信号，以便快速行驶的列车能够及时做出反应。
