Big brands are frmally warned when their palm il suppliers engage in illegal expansin, which in turn has driven them t take actin, even if their actin seems inadequate currently. (一些組織正在通過各種做法努力整頓棕櫚油行業(yè)。當大品牌的棕櫚油供應(yīng)商進行非法擴張時,他們會受到正式警告,這反過來又迫使它們采取行動,即使他們目前的行動似乎不夠充分。)”和“There’s hpe n the hrizn(希望就在眼前)”可知,一些組織正在努力整頓棕櫚油行業(yè),而且一些大品牌棕櫚油供應(yīng)商會采取行動,作者認為希望就在眼前,由此可推測出,作者對他們的行動表示支持。故選C。 題型02 中心主旨題 【題型詮釋】 中心主旨題一般是在問文章的中心思想是什么、文章在討論什么或取什么樣的標題最好,題干中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的標志詞有:main idea、mainly talk abut/discuss、the best title/subject 等。 ①小心首段陷阱,尤其是文章第一段只有一句話、有問句或出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折的情況; ②關(guān)注各段首尾句,把各段首尾句串聯(lián)起來讀大概就能明白文章的行文脈絡(luò),同時也要注意轉(zhuǎn)折的情況; ③關(guān)注文章中出現(xiàn)頻率高的詞或句子,也就是中心詞/句,注意文章對詞或句子的同義改寫; ④關(guān)注文章中間單句成段的情況。主旨題的正確選項與文章主旨是全面匹配的。換句話說,正確答案里應(yīng)該包含所有的中心詞/句,而錯誤選項/干擾項往往只包含部分,或者包含范圍已經(jīng)大于文章范圍,信息是片面的。 除此之外,也不要覺得某個選項里的關(guān)鍵詞好像跟主旨詞長得像就選它,有可能是出題人故意用形近詞埋下的坑,形近詞比如像這樣:statistical, statisticians, statistics…… 還是要看選項跟文章主旨是否相符。 【典例】 (23-24高三上·天津和平·期末)Teenagers are self-cntradictry.

At the same time, nce cheerful-and bedient children becme rebellius teenage risk-takers. A new study published in the jurnal Child Develpment, by Eveline Crne f the University f Leiden and clleagues, suggests that the psitive and negative sides f teenagers g hand in hand. The study is part f a new wave f thinking abut adlescence. Fr a lng time, scientists and plicy makers cncentrated n the idea that teenagers were a prblem that needed t be slved. The new wrk emphasizes that adlescence is a time f pprtunity as well as risk. The researchers studied “prscial”(親社會)and rebellius traits in mre than 200 children and yung adults, ranging frm 11 t 28 years ld. The participants filled ut questinnaires abut hw ften they did things that were selfless and psitive, like sacrificing their wn interests t help a friend, r rebellius and negative, like getting drunk r staying ut late. Other studies have shwn that rebellius behavir increases as yu becme a teenager and then fades away as yu grw lder. But the new study shws that, interestingly, the same is true fr prscial behavir. Teenagers were mre likely than yunger children r adults t reprt that they did things like unselfishly help a friend. Mst significantly, there was a psitive crrelatin between prsciality and rebelliusness. The teenagers wh were mre rebellius were als mre likely t help thers. The gd and bad sides f adlescence seem t develp tgether. Is there sme cmmn factr that underlies these apparently cntradictry develpments? One idea is that teenage behavir is related t what researchers call “reward sensitivity.” Decisin-making always invlves balancing rewards and risks, benefits and csts. “Reward sensitivity” measures hw much reward it takes t utweigh risk. Teenagers are particularly sensitive t scial rewards—winning the game, impressing a new friend, getting that by t ntice yu. Reward sensitivity, like prscial behavir and risk-taking, seems t g up in adlescence and then dwn again as we age. Smehw, when yu hit 30, the chance that smething exciting and new will happen at that party just desn’t seem t utweigh the effrt f getting up ff the cuch. 20.What is the text mainly abut?

While we appreciate such wrds f wisdm, we rarely try t fllw them in ur lives. Mst peple prefer t live a gd life themselves, ignring their respnsibilities fr the wrld. This narrw perceptin f a gd life may prvide shrt-term benefits, but is sure t lead t lng-term harm and suffering. A gd life based n cmfrt and luxury may eventually lead t mre pain be-cause we spil ur health and even ur character, principles, ideals, and relatinships. What then, is the secret f a gd life? A gd life is a prcess, nt a state f being : a directin, nt a destinatin. We have t earn a gd life by first serving thers withut any expectatin in return because their happiness is the very surce f ur wn happiness. Mre imprtantly, we must knw urselves inside ut. Only when we examine urselves deeply can we discver ur abilities and recgnize ur limitatins, and then wrk accrdingly t create a better wrld.

Hwever, when we d that same jb ut f lve, we nt nly enjy what we d, but als d it with an effrtless feeling. Hwever, lve alne is insufficient t lead a gd life. Lve smetimes blinds us t the reality. Cnsequently, ur gd intentins may nt lead t gd results. T achieve desired utcme, thse wh want t d gd t thers als need t equip themselves with accurate wrld knwledge. False knwledge is mre dangerus than ignrance. If lve is the engine f a car knwledge is the steering wheel(方向盤). If the engine lacks pwer, the car can’t mve; if the driver lses cntrl f the steering, a rad accident prbably ccurs. Only with lve in heart and the right knwledge in mind can we lead a gd life.

The drawback t being specialists is we ften cme t knw mre and mre abut less and less.(成為專家需要對特定的職業(yè)、研究領(lǐng)域的投入。成為專家的缺點是我們常常對越來越少的知識領(lǐng)域了解得越來越多。)”根據(jù)“knw … abut less and less”可知,要成為一名專家,了解到的知識領(lǐng)域會越來越少,會縮小他的知識范圍。故選A。 7.細節(jié)理解題。第三段中提到“Sme peple seem willing t wrk arund the clck in their narrw specialty. …These specialists culd wrk at the ffice until ten each night (有些人似乎愿意在他們狹隘的專業(yè)領(lǐng)域夜以繼日地工作。…… 這些專家可以每天晚上在辦公室工作到十點。)”由此可知,這些專家往往花大部分的時間在工作上。故選C。 8.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段中“The dctr wh is als a pet and philspher is a superir dctr, ne wh can give s much mre t his patients than just gd medical skills. (這位既是詩人又是哲學(xué)家的醫(yī)生是一位優(yōu)秀的醫(yī)生,他能給他的病人提供比良好的醫(yī)術(shù)更多的東西。)”可知,作者認為一名優(yōu)秀的醫(yī)生可以將其他領(lǐng)域的知識帶到工作中。故選D。 9.推理判斷題。文章第五段中提到“Things are cnnected. Let yur expertise in ne field fuel yur passins in all related areas. Sme f yur interests may nt appear t be cnnected but, nce yu explre their depths, yu discver that they are.(事物之間是有聯(lián)系的。讓你在一個領(lǐng)域的專長激發(fā)你在所有相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的熱情。你的一些興趣可能看起來沒有聯(lián)系,但一旦你深入探索,你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)它們是有聯(lián)系的。)”;下文舉出Tni的例子“My editr Tni, wh is als a writer, has edited several histry bks. She has decided t study Chinese histry. Fascinated by the structural beauty f the Frbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested t learn mre abut Chinese philsphy.(我的編輯Tni也是一位作家,她編輯過幾本歷史書。她已決定學(xué)習中國歷史。作為一名畫家,她癡迷于紫禁城的建筑之美,同時也對更多地了解中國哲學(xué)感興趣。)”由此可以推斷,作者想通過Tni的例子說明看似不相關(guān)的興趣,如果深入探索的話,在某種程度上是有聯(lián)系的。故選D。 10.主旨大意題。文章第一段提出觀點“There is smething t be said fr being a generalist, even if yu are a specialist.”作者提出即使你是一個專家,也應(yīng)該當一個通才;文章第二段提出“The drawback t being specialists is we ften cme t knw mre and mre abut less and less. ”說明成為專家的不足之處是我們常常對越來越少的知識領(lǐng)域了解得越來越深;第四段中提到“Generalists, …, knw a lt abut a wide range f subjects and view the whle with all its cnnectins.”說明當通才的優(yōu)點往往對廣泛的學(xué)科了解得很多,并從整體上來看其中的所有的聯(lián)系。作者的觀點是應(yīng)該當一個通才。因此文章的標題應(yīng)為“Be Mre a Generalist Than a Specialist(做一個通才,而不是專家)”。故選A。 (2020·天津·高考真題)After years f bserving human nature, I have decided that tw qualities make the difference between men f great achievement and men f average perfrmance curisity and discntent.

We are seeing urselves but the picture isn’t exactly clear!The mirrrs have been fgged up thrugh different life experiences and memries as we have grwn up, and nw blend tgether t frm ur wn definitin f ur beauty.(我常常認為這就是我們看待自己美麗的方式——透過霧蒙蒙的鏡子。我們看到了我們自己,但是畫面不是很清楚!隨著我們的成長,鏡子已經(jīng)被不同的生活經(jīng)歷和記憶所模糊,現(xiàn)在融合在一起,形成了我們自己對美的定義。)”可知,第一段中提到的被霧遮住的鏡子指的是人們對美的模糊認識。故選C。 57.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“I remember being tld that I was a cute child, s that when I gt a little lder and was arund six r seven and anther child tried t tell me I was ugly- everything within me rse up against the statement because my self-belief in what my parents had said std strng.(我記得有人告訴我,我是一個可愛的孩子,所以當我長大一點,大概六七歲的時候,另一個孩子試圖告訴我我很丑——我內(nèi)心的一切都站起來反對這種說法,因為我對父母說的話的自信是堅定不移的。)”可知,當有人說作者丑時,她完全否認這種說法,故選B。 58.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“We are ften faced with numerus images in the media, ppular culture, sciety, peers and scial media, which can create a false ideal f beauty in ur eyes.(我們經(jīng)常在媒體、大眾文化、社會、同齡人和社交媒體上面對大量的形象,這些形象會在我們眼中營造出一種錯誤的美的理想。)”可知,從社會建構(gòu)的美的觀念可能會誤導(dǎo)人們對美的看法。故選C。 59.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Hwever, real beauty cmes frm within. It is acceptance f yurself, perceived flaws and all. Yu are a masterpiece, a unique blend f genes and life experiences. It’s essential t appreciate yurself like any ther wrk f art r natural wnder, withut judgement. Maybe it’s time t create a furth mirrr, a new mirrr that is wiped clean and is minus the fg f cmparisns, accusatins, judgments and expectatins.(然而,真正的美來自內(nèi)心。這就是接受你自己,接受你自己的缺點和所有的一切。你是一個杰作,一個獨特的融合基因和生活經(jīng)驗。像欣賞其他藝術(shù)作品或自然奇觀一樣欣賞自己是必不可少的,不要妄加評判。也許是時候創(chuàng)造第四面鏡子了,一面被擦得干干凈凈、沒有比較、指責、判斷和期望的迷霧的新鏡子。)”可推知,作者認為第四面鏡子是一面不受外界影響的鏡子,故選A。 60.推理判斷題。通讀全文,尤其是最后一段中“Hwever, real beauty cmes frm within. It is acceptance f yurself, perceived flaws and all. Yu are a masterpiece, a unique blend f genes and life experiences. It’s essential t appreciate yurself like any ther wrk f art r natural wnder, withut judgement. (然而,真正的美來自內(nèi)心。這就是接受你自己,接受你自己的缺點和所有的一切。你是一個杰作,一個獨特的融合基因和生活經(jīng)驗。像欣賞其他藝術(shù)作品或自然奇觀一樣欣賞自己是必不可少的,不要妄加評判。)”可知,在我們成長中,不同的生活經(jīng)歷和記憶賦予了我們對美的定義。在我們的成長過程中有三面鏡子,第一面鏡子是在孩童時期形成的,通常是基于父母和周圍人對我們的評價;第二面鏡子是青春期的鏡子,在成長的歲月里,我們被推進大自然的世界,脫離了家的保護,意識到自己的不同;第三面鏡子來自社會建構(gòu)的美的觀念。作者通過介紹這三面鏡子,告訴我們真正的美來自內(nèi)心,要接受自己的一切。由此可推知,這篇文章的主要目的是告訴我們要擁抱我們真正的內(nèi)在美,故選D。
