2025年高考英语作业考试化40分钟组合卷之 阅读理解A篇
最新全国各地真题模拟题（河北省邯郸市） 教师版
新变化——2024年高考全国I卷 阅读理解A篇
命题素材的外向型和丰富性
选取的文章体裁多样，内容丰富，新课标Ⅰ卷阅读A篇介绍了一个地区生物栖息地修复工作队的工作内容和招募志愿者的要求，引导学生热爱劳动、参与劳动、享受劳动。引导学生培养科学探究精神，提升发现问题、分析问题、解决问题的能力，拓宽了学生的知识视野。
2024新高考全国I卷考查了一篇应用文、一篇记叙文、一篇议论文和一篇说明文。阅读语篇的主题涉及到社会、历史、心理、人文、地理；文体风格有叙事、记录、说明等等，绝大多数都是非虚构类（non-fiction）阅读素材，考查整体阅读与深度阅读的能力，需要从头到尾理解文章，而不单单从字面搜寻信息。素材大都来自外媒报刊以及原版读物，素材相比去年而言，派生词增多，长难句多，难度有所提升。
题型设置梯度保持合理性
2024新高考全国I卷和2023年在题型上维持一致，四大题型（细节理解、推理判断、词义猜测、主旨要义）均有涉及，而且侧重细节理解和推理判断题。。
教学建议——2024年高考全国I卷 阅读理解A篇
加强词汇的积累的深度和高度
每年阅读中都会出现一些高难度的词汇，2024新高考全国I卷亦如此，尤其是新课标词汇的派生词，如restore→restoration，remove→removal，guard→guardian，defense→defensive，information→informative ，identify→identification，proper→improper，observation→observational，engineer→engineering，function→functional等。
要注重英语思维能力的培养
比如今年听力第6段材料出现Yeah, you cannot be too careful。该句是英语特殊句式，表面上是否定形式，实际表达肯定含义。该句型意为“你越小心越好。”可见，现在高考卷对学生思维能力要求很高，因此老师和学生应该在解决学生词汇、语法等基础语言能力的基础上，提升学生的思维能力，比如可以让学生归纳段落大意、画文章结构的思维导图、把阅读题改成7选5再操练、让学生自己出题等等。总之，单词量不够的学生务必先过单词关，语法不过关的先学会分析长难句。之后就是思维、文化的问题，多读原著看外刊、做思维练习。

（2023·河北邯郸·一模）Book Reviews
Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility By Rebecca Solnit and Thelma Young Lutunatabua (Haymarket Books, 2023) Hope isn’t a lottery ticket, says activist and writer Rebecca Solnit. Rather, it’s a tool, and an essential one for anyone living through climate change today. This essay collection from scientists, policymakers, and activists balances showing the very real stakes (利害关系) of the climate crisis with making the case for possibility. Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock By Jenny Odell (Random House, 2023) “What is time ” we’ve all asked ourselves and each other. For most of us the question is just a question, but not for Odell, who urges us to seriously reconsider the ways we spend it. Not bad advice, but her observations on, say, the importance of rest or the limitation capitalism has on the hours in our collective days can feel more like a mix of other people’s ideas than a new way forward.
Science Fiction: Voyage to the Edge of Imagination By Glyn Morgan (Thames & Hudson, 2022) Science Fiction, writes Nalo Hopkinson in this catalogue for the London Science Museum’s 2022 exhibition, “is the literature of social and technological change… it tests in order to discover the truth.” It upends our brains visually, too, as the images here will prove. Meganets: How Digital Forces Beyond Our Control Commandeer Our Daily Lives and Inner Realities By David B. Auerbach (Public Affairs, 2023) Auerbach defines meganets as autonomous digital forces that have brought an unheard-of level of chaos to our politics, economy, and social lives. We might think that Microsoft, Google, etc. are in control of these networks; Auerbach suggests that what chatbots might really indicate are new modes of mass control and cheat.
13. Which book is related to climate
A. Not Too Late. B. Saving Time. C. Science Fiction. D. Meganets.
14. Whose book came out first
A. Jenny Odell’s.
B. Glyn Morgan’s.
C. David B. Auerbach’s.
D. Rebecca Solnit and Thelma Young Lutunatabua’s.
15. What is David B. Auerbach’s attitude toward meganets
A. Worried. B. Excited. C. Disappointed. D. Satisfied.

【答案】13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
13. 细节理解题。由“Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility (《还为时不晚》：将气候故事从绝望变为可能)”中“Rather, it’s a tool, and an essential one for anyone living through climate change today.

(相反，它是一种工具，对于今天生活在气候变化中的任何人来说都是必不可少的。这篇来自科学家、政策制定者和活动家的论文集在展示气候危机的真实利害关系和证明可能性之间取得了平衡)”可知，Not Too Late这本书与气候有关。故选A项。
14. 细节理解题。对比其它三本书出版时间为2023年，由“Science Fiction: Voyage to the Edge of Imagination (《科幻小说》：想象力的边缘之旅)”中“By Glyn Morgan (Thames & Hudson, 2022) (Glyn Morgan（泰晤士和哈德逊出版社，2022）)”可知，Glyn Morgan的书于2022年出版，为最先出版。故选B项。
15. 推理判断题。由“Meganets: How Digital Forces Beyond Our Control Commandeer Our Daily Lives and Inner Realities (Meganets：数字力量如何超越我们的控制，主宰我们的日常生活和内心现实)”中“Auerbach defines meganets as autonomous digital forces that have brought an unheard-of level of chaos to our politics, economy, and social lives. (奥尔巴赫将巨网（meganets）定义为自主的数字力量，它们给我们的政治、经济和社会生活带来了前所未有的混乱)”可知，David B. Auerbach’s认为巨网（meganets）给人类的政治、经济和社会生活带来了前所未有的混乱，可得出他对巨网（meganets）持担忧的态度。故选A项。

最新全国各地真题模拟题（河北省邯郸市） 学生版
新变化——2024年高考全国I卷 阅读理解A篇
命题素材的外向型和丰富性
选取的文章体裁多样，内容丰富，新课标Ⅰ卷阅读A篇介绍了一个地区生物栖息地修复工作队的工作内容和招募志愿者的要求，引导学生热爱劳动、参与劳动、享受劳动。引导学生培养科学探究精神，提升发现问题、分析问题、解决问题的能力，拓宽了学生的知识视野。
2024新高考全国I卷考查了一篇应用文、一篇记叙文、一篇议论文和一篇说明文。阅读语篇的主题涉及到社会、历史、心理、人文、地理；文体风格有叙事、记录、说明等等，绝大多数都是非虚构类（non-fiction）阅读素材，考查整体阅读与深度阅读的能力，需要从头到尾理解文章，而不单单从字面搜寻信息。素材大都来自外媒报刊以及原版读物，素材相比去年而言，派生词增多，长难句多，难度有所提升。
题型设置梯度保持合理性
2024新高考全国I卷和2023年在题型上维持一致，四大题型（细节理解、推理判断、词义猜测、主旨要义）均有涉及，而且侧重细节理解和推理判断题。。
教学建议——2024年高考全国I卷 阅读理解A篇
加强词汇的积累的深度和高度
每年阅读中都会出现一些高难度的词汇，2024新高考全国I卷亦如此，尤其是新课标词汇的派生词，如restore→restoration，remove→removal，guard→guardian，defense→defensive，information→informative ，identify→identification，proper→improper，observation→observational，engineer→engineering，function→functional等。
要注重英语思维能力的培养
比如今年听力第6段材料出现Yeah, you cannot be too careful。该句是英语特殊句式，表面上是否定形式，实际表达肯定含义。该句型意为“你越小心越好。”可见，现在高考卷对学生思维能力要求很高，因此老师和学生应该在解决学生词汇、语法等基础语言能力的基础上，提升学生的思维能力，比如可以让学生归纳段落大意、画文章结构的思维导图、把阅读题改成7选5再操练、让学生自己出题等等。总之，单词量不够的学生务必先过单词关，语法不过关的先学会分析长难句。之后就是思维、文化的问题，多读原著看外刊、做思维练习。
真题例析——2024年高考全国I卷 阅读理解A篇

（2023·河北邯郸·一模）Book Reviews
Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility By Rebecca Solnit and Thelma Young Lutunatabua (Haymarket Books, 2023) Hope isn’t a lottery ticket, says activist and writer Rebecca Solnit. Rather, it’s a tool, and an essential one for anyone living through climate change today. This essay collection from scientists, policymakers, and activists balances showing the very real stakes (利害关系) of the climate crisis with making the case for possibility. Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock By Jenny Odell (Random House, 2023) “What is time ” we’ve all asked ourselves and each other. For most of us the question is just a question, but not for Odell, who urges us to seriously reconsider the ways we spend it. Not bad advice, but her observations on, say, the importance of rest or the limitation capitalism has on the hours in our collective days can feel more like a mix of other people’s ideas than a new way forward.
Science Fiction: Voyage to the Edge of Imagination By Glyn Morgan (Thames & Hudson, 2022) Science Fiction, writes Nalo Hopkinson in this catalogue for the London Science Museum’s 2022 exhibition, “is the literature of social and technological change… it tests in order to discover the truth.” It upends our brains visually, too, as the images here will prove. Meganets: How Digital Forces Beyond Our Control Commandeer Our Daily Lives and Inner Realities By David B. Auerbach (Public Affairs, 2023) Auerbach defines meganets as autonomous digital forces that have brought an unheard-of level of chaos to our politics, economy, and social lives. We might think that Microsoft, Google, etc. are in control of these networks; Auerbach suggests that what chatbots might really indicate are new modes of mass control and cheat.
13. Which book is related to climate
A. Not Too Late. B. Saving Time. C. Science Fiction. D. Meganets.
14. Whose book came out first
A. Jenny Odell’s.
B. Glyn Morgan’s.

D. Rebecca Solnit and Thelma Young Lutunatabua’s.
