專題一 閱讀理解 第3講 主旨大意題

[真題演練]

A(2016·全國卷Ⅲ，閱讀理解D)(導(dǎo)學(xué)號 58210008)Bad news sells.If it bleeds，it leads.No news is good news，and good news is no news.Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored(監(jiān)控)in different ways，researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people's e－mails and online posts，scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The‘if it bleeds’rule works for mass media，”says Jonah Berger，a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling.But when you share a story with your friends，you care a lot more how they react.You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”

Researchers analyzing word－of－mouth communication—e－mails，Web posts and reviews，face－to－face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消極的)，but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility，Dr.Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories：thousands of articles on The New York Times' website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the“most e－mailed”list for six months.One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non－science articles.He found that science amazed Times' readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny，or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety，but not articles that left them merely sad.They needed to be aroused(激發(fā))one way or the other，and they preferred good news to bad.The more positive an article，the more likely it was to be shared，as Dr.Berger explains in his new book，“Contagious：Why Things Catch On.”

【語篇解讀】 人們常說“沒有消息就是最好的消息”，類似的傳統(tǒng)說法只適合于大眾媒體。在網(wǎng)絡(luò)普及的時代，好消息在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的傳播速度比壞消息要快很多。

B(2016·全國卷Ⅰ，閱讀理解D)The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful，or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness，uneasiness，or worry.Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable；therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(間隙)with conversation.Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people，just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore，when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops，what may be implied(暗示)is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures，silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways，particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.For example，Russian，F(xiàn)rench，and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion.However，Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.In still another use，persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect，particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care－givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing(治愈)value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.【語篇解讀】 本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了沉默在不同文化背景下的不同內(nèi)涵。32．What does the author say about silence in conversations?

C(2015·廣東卷，閱讀理解C)(導(dǎo)學(xué)號 58210009)

Daniel Anderson，a famous psychologist，believes it's important to distinguish television's influences on children from those of the family.We tend to blame TV，he says，for problems it doesn't really cause，overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world.While watching TV，children do not merely absorb words and images(影像)．Instead，they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.Actually，children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows.Furthermore，as many teachers agree，children understand far more when parents watch TV with them，explaining new words and ideas.Yet，most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment.But according to Anderson，the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability.TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children；it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation，such as listening to the radio and playing sports.Things like parents' educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading.“A child's reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads，”Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television－watching lowers IQ(智商)scores and affects school performance.But here，too，Anderson notes that no studies have proved it.In fact，reasearch suggests that it's the other way around.“If you're smart young，you'll watch less TV when you're older，”Anderson says.Yet，people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children.However，by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed，Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.【語篇解讀】 本文為議論文，題材為社會生活類。傳統(tǒng)觀念認為，看電視會對孩子思維能力的培養(yǎng)產(chǎn)生負面的影響，還會讓孩子遠離閱讀。而著名心理學(xué)家安德森對此提出了不同的看法。

The whole team worked together；carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman.There was a 3－month－old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother's dead body.Obviously, the woman had made a sacrifice for saving her son.When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son.The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy.After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone.There was a text message on the screen.It said，“If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.”This cell phone was passing around from one hand to another.Everybody that read the message wept.“ If you can survive，you must remember that I love you.”Such is the mother's love for her child!【語篇解讀】 本文為記敘文。作者講述了一個感人的真實故事。在地震中一位普通而又偉大的母親在危難時刻為自己的孩子開辟了一條生命通道，她把死留了自己，把生留給了自己的孩子。

B(2017·濟寧高三模擬)(導(dǎo)學(xué)號 58210010)Giving Mary Poppins's magic umbrella some serious competition is the all high－tech “Oombrella”—not only can it predict the weather，it's also impossible to lose.The smart umbrella syncs(同步進行)with a smartphone app，sending users updates about weather conditions 30 minutes in advance，and reminders if they happen to leave the device behind.And here's the added bonus—it won't ever flip inside－out.Designed by French company Wezzoo，the rainbow－colored umbrella comes in two

versions—classic and modern.The classic is 3.1ft long with a curved handle，while the modern version is 0.8ft long with a straight handle.The company describes the device as a‘portable weather station’，made of a reflective surface with built in sensors that record real－time data such as light，humidity，pressure，and temperature.The umbrella collects and processes this data as well as information from a social media community before sending out alerts about when it's going to start raining.And if the user happens to accidentally forget it at home on a potentially rainy day，or leaves it in a restaurant，similar alerts will be sent out using GPS technology to make sure you don't lose it.“We wanted to make this umbrella unforgettable in terms of design，too，”explains Alexandre，of Escabo design studio.“We developed an exclusive material.It makes you feel you are holding an aurora borealis(北極光)in your hands.It has effects that are amazing with the light and always changing.It really makes the umbrella special.”The‘capsule' that integrates all the technology，making the umbrella smart，is located in the handle.The umbrella is all set to hit global online and physical stores this fall.According to a company spokesperson，it will retail at79($86)，but the early bird price on Kickstarter is59($64)．For those who are rather attached to their current umbrellas，the company will also release an‘Oombrella capsule' that can transform any umbrella into a smart device.Now，if only it could make us fly like Mary Poppins!【語篇解讀】 文章介紹一種新型的智能雨傘，它既可以提醒用戶要下雨了，還能防止丟失。

C(2017·南昌十校聯(lián)考)In 1800，only three percent of the world's population lived in cities.Only one city—Beijing—had a population of over a million.Most people lived in rural areas，and never saw a city in their lives.In 1900，just a hundred years later，roughly 150 million people lived in cities，and the world's ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million.By 2000，the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion;and in 2008，the world's population crossed a tipping point—more than half

of the people on Earth lived in cities.By 2050，that could increase to over two－thirds.Clearly，humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries，many people viewed cities negatively—crowded，dirty environments full of disease and crime.They feared that as cities got bigger，living conditions would worsen.In recent decades，however，attitudes have changed.Many experts now think urbanization(城市化)is good news，offering solutions to the problems of Earth's growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser，author of TriumphoftheCity，is one such person.Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people” reduces the cost of transporting goods，people，and ideas.While the flow of goods has always been important to cities，what is most important today is the flow of ideas.Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily，and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand.Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow half of the world's population to live on about four percent of the land.This leaves more space for open country，such as farmland.City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside.Their roads，sewers，and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate.City apartments require less energy to heat，cool，and light.Most importantly，people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it's a mistake to see urbanization as evil;it's a natural part of development.The challenge is how to manage the growth.【語篇解讀】 本文講述了隨著人們對城市看法的改變，城市化進程不斷加快。許多專家認為這是好事。

★8.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A．The history of modern cities.B．Changes taking place within cities.C．How cities have grown over time.D．Why modern cities are changing.解析：段落大意題。第一段講述了隨著時間的推移，城市人口激增。故選C項。答案：C

9．How have experts' attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?

答案：A

11．According to Paragraph 4，what would be the result of moving people out of cities? A．Economic production would be reduced.B．There would be less farmland available.C．People would travel less frequently.D．House values would fall greatly.解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow half of the world's population to live on about four percent of the land.This leaves more space for open country，such as farmland”可知，城市居民居住面積占地少，能夠留出更多的土地進行耕種；由此可以推斷：若讓人們搬出城市，耕地的面積將大大減少。故選B項。

答案：B

D(2017·九江十校聯(lián)考)(導(dǎo)學(xué)號 58210011)A cute white cat peeks out of a hole with only its head visible.A long－eared rabbit licks its lips while looking up at a carrot.These aren't real scenes in a natural park.Instead，they're paintings in tree holes on a road in Shijiazhuang，Hebei Province.Hundreds of people are visiting the artistic road to take photos of

the new paintings.The creator of these eye－catching paintings is Wang Yue，23.She describes her tree hole paintings as“a beautiful journey”through which she adds fun and vitality(活力)to her hometown.“When I saw the trees by the roadside had lost all their leaves，and the ugly tree holes became obvious，I thought that if I could paint some interesting scenes in these holes they might add some color to the city，”said Wang Yue.But Wang was worried that her watercolor paints could hurt the trees.When Wang got permission from city officials，she gathered her color palette，brushes and a stool and got to work.Her first painting was of rosy clouds，but many passers－by couldn't understand it.“Perhaps it was too abstract，”said Wang Yue.After that，she began to paint animals.Using her paintbrush she creatively placed a raccoon(浣熊)，a squirrel and a cat in the holes.Wang's friends shared her works on their micro blogs and she became a hit.Her next aim is to tell stories rather than painting individual animals.“I was glad to let people see life's beauty.I hope more artists can join me in painting the tree holes，”she said.【語篇解讀】 石家莊女孩王月用“樹洞畫”讓栩栩如生的小貓、松鼠以及各種風(fēng)景在樹洞“安家”，為黯淡的冬季帶來了色彩。

答案：D

13．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
