一线教学专家谈2024英语备考
启发一：加快答题速度。阅读速度过慢，就会挤压后面两篇作文的答题时间。本次考试中，不少考生的读后续写作文第二段来不及写，非常可惜。
启发二：夯实核心词汇。尤其对答题起关键作用的词汇，如杭州二模阅读理解,考生不清楚它们的准确含义，就很容易答错题：23题 C选项中
的newsletter（某组织的内部简讯）；27题 B选项中的vision（眼力；远见卓识）；28题 A选项中的adapted（进化或适应）。
启发三：多阅读话题陌生的文章。话题陌生的文章难度大（比如C篇），在考场上，考生需要“现学现卖”，即学即用，根据上下文处理和整合信息，这时候，他们的背景知识根本起不了作用。
启发四：多阅读话题抽象的文章。这类文章往往涉及哲学、书评、心理学等领域的最新发现，话题抽象，内容虚无，看不见摸不着，容易让考生困惑。
启发五：多熟悉常见题型的解题方法。杭州二模阅读理解还有段落大意、添加标题、猜测词义、举例论证、作者态度、文章出处等经典题型。在平时的阅读训练中，建议对各个题型进行有针对性的专题训练。
启发六：研究五年高考真题。研究高考阅读理解真题有助于学生了解高考的命题规律和特点。高考作为全国性的重要考试，其命题有着一定的规律性和科学性。通过深入研究真题，学生可以更清晰地认识到高考阅读理解的题型、难度、考点以及答题技巧，从而在备考过程中更加有的放矢，提高备考效率。

（2023全国乙卷）PRACTITIONERS
Jacqueline Felice de Almania (c.1322) highlights the suspicion that women practicing medicine faced.

In spite of the court hearing testimonials (证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine. James Barry (c.1789 — 1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.
Tan Yunxian (1461 — 1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831 — 1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves.

Mike Shepherd(2011) Skiddaw in Winter Cumbria, England It was an extremely cold winter's evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black—and—white image（图像）.
Timothy Smith(2014) I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe, a local high point, I
Macclesfield Forest Cheshire, England came across a small clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh snow. The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest.

（2021全国乙卷）The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the
Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities(容量)slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
21. How many people could the Circus Maximus hold
A. 104,944. B. 107,601.
C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000.
22. Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest

23. What do the listed stadiums have in common

22. C。细节理解题。根据文章最后部分中的“Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U.S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened October 7, 1922.” (美国俄亥俄州哥伦布市俄亥俄体育场，容纳人数：104,944人。1922年10月7日开业。)及其他四个著名竞技场的开放时间介绍可知，Ohio Stadium开放时间最早在1922年，属于年代最久远的。

模拟专区 8
技能专区：冲刺备考名师提醒，洞悉高考命题规律，提供高效提分干货
一、阅读理解应用文细节理解题居多，落实“定位原文”和“同义替换”。
二、数据计算题注重“原文定位”“细节理解”，弄清来龙去脉再计算。
三、文章出处题注意利用首尾段相关关键词作答。
四、写作意图题要结合试题内容类型，尤其是首尾段做出合理推测判断。
五、写作对象题需要结合首尾段关键信息，对象可能是家长、游客等。
六、规范训练目标：做标记，留痕迹；零失误，限时7分钟/每篇。
一线教学专家谈2024英语备考
启发一：加快答题速度。阅读速度过慢，就会挤压后面两篇作文的答题时间。本次考试中，不少考生的读后续写作文第二段来不及写，非常可惜。
启发二：夯实核心词汇。尤其对答题起关键作用的词汇，如杭州二模阅读理解,考生不清楚它们的准确含义，就很容易答错题：23题 C选项中
的newsletter（某组织的内部简讯）；27题 B选项中的vision（眼力；远见卓识）；28题 A选项中的adapted（进化或适应）。
启发三：多阅读话题陌生的文章。话题陌生的文章难度大（比如C篇），在考场上，考生需要“现学现卖”，即学即用，根据上下文处理和整合信息，这时候，他们的背景知识根本起不了作用。
启发四：多阅读话题抽象的文章。这类文章往往涉及哲学、书评、心理学等领域的最新发现，话题抽象，内容虚无，看不见摸不着，容易让考生困惑。
启发五：多熟悉常见题型的解题方法。杭州二模阅读理解还有段落大意、添加标题、猜测词义、举例论证、作者态度、文章出处等经典题型。在平时的阅读训练中，建议对各个题型进行有针对性的专题训练。
启发六：研究五年高考真题。研究高考阅读理解真题有助于学生了解高考的命题规律和特点。高考作为全国性的重要考试，其命题有着一定的规律性和科学性。通过深入研究真题，学生可以更清晰地认识到高考阅读理解的题型、难度、考点以及答题技巧，从而在备考过程中更加有的放矢，提高备考效率。

Mike Shepherd(2011) Skiddaw in Winter Cumbria, England It was an extremely cold winter's evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black—and—white image（图像）.
Timothy Smith(2014) Macclesfield Forest Cheshire, England I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe, a local high point, I came across a small clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh snow. The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest.

People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities(容量)slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.

（2024·青海西宁·二模）Dublin is one of Europe’s smaller capital cities, but it has an outsized number of places to see. Here’s a decent sampling of the great attractions that await when you come to Dublin to play.
National Gallery of Ireland
Ireland is a country known for its literary contributions, but don’t overlook its contributions to the artistic world. It houses a number of works by Rembrandt, Goya and Monet. The collection’s 15,000 Irish and European works date from the 13th to mid-20th centuries and include paintings, prints and national portraits (肖像). Particularly prized is the Yeats Collection, consisting of works and other materials related to Irish painter Jack B．Yeats, brother of poet and playwright W. B．Yeats.
Ha’penny Bridge
This modest cast-iron bridge over the River Liffey has become the symbol of Dublin, with its wonderful design and old-fashioned lampposts. Before it became a tourist attraction,
Ha’Penny Bridge was a welcome addition for local people. Before its construction, most of them had to ferry (摆渡) across the river. When it was built in 1816, Ha’penny Bridge was the first iron bridge across the Liffey.
Dublin Castle
You’re in Europe. It’s hard to resist a good castle. And you have one right in the heart of Dublin. And like all good castles, it has a storied history—from its start in the 1200s on the site of a Viking settlement to 1922, when it was handed over to the new Irish government after independence from the United Kingdom. A fire in 1684 damaged a good bit of the castle, and in reconstruction, parts of it took on the look of a Georgian palace, making for an interesting mix of styles today.
St. Stephen’s Green
As a treasured part of the city for centuries, the park, which is in the heart of Dublin, has important sculptures of major figures in Irish history and well-maintained Victorian grounds in the center. A variety of trees line the perimeter (周边) to help block city noise, and it’s a haven for birds as well as people.

B．Works about painter Jack B．Yeats.
