考点29阅读理解之说明文
"英语说明文",顾名思义,就是一种以"说明、解释"为主要表达方式的英语文体。
它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等作科学解说的。
它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写,也不像议论文那样,重在阐明主张和论点论据;更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。
说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理,使人们增长知识和技能。
说明文是高考英语阅读理解题中的重点内容之一。
说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法,因此说明文结构复杂,专业术语多,易于拉开考生分数档次,便于高校分层次选拔人才。
然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高,解题难度大。
高考对说明文的考查多为科普知识,动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文,文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。
因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点,叙述方式,以冷静的心态阅读原文,重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系,以便对其做出准确的语意理解。
说明文阅读理解的特征
一般说来,英语说明文与其他文体一样,文章所涉及的内容不外乎以下几个方面,即who→what→when→where→how→why。
1.who:
问的是这篇文章的主体是谁?
(即所要说明和描述的人或事物)
2.what:
问的是主体做了什么事情?
(即主体表现出的特性、功能和用途)
3.when和where:
是在何时何地发生的?
(即何时何地所表现出的特性、功能和用途)
4.how:
通过什么方式表现出来的?
5.why:
这种特性功能用途的原因是什么?
做说明文阅读理解题的时候,一定要记住上面的wh-word。
边阅读,边搜记,牢记要点,把握全文。

【答案】30.D31.D32.A33.A
【解析】模式化观念就是我们把人们放在某一个群体里,产生固有印象。
模式化观念既有优点,也有缺点。
优点是它能使我们迅速处理各种情况,简化社会世界;缺点是它会让我们忽视每个个体之间的差异。

【31题详解】
推理判断题。
根据短文第三段“Oneadvantageofastereotypeisthatitenablesustodealwithsituationsrapidlybecausewemayhavehadasimilarexperiencebefore.”可知,模式化观念的一个优点是使我们根据以前的相似经历,快速处理各种情况。
结合生活常识可知,红色会起到警告的作用,D选项符合文意,故选D。
A、B和C三项都是模式化观念产生的不好的影响。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。
根据语境“Itmakesusignoredifferencesbetweeneachsingleperson,thatis,weusuallythinkallthepeopleinonegrouparethesamebutthatmightnotbetrue.”“它使我们……每个个体之间的差异,认为一个群体里所有人都是一样的”,由此可猜测ignore意为“忽视”,即“没能注意到……”,故选A。
【33题详解】
