今天是2024年高考的第一天，正在备考GMAT和GRE的你是哪年高考的呢？可以评论区留言，也为今年的高考学子祝福呀~
今天我们就从GMAT和GRE老司机的阅读和解题视角来看看《2024年高考综合改革适应性测试：英语科新课标试卷》的其中一篇阅读，感受一下现在国内高考的难度吧。
Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots behavior in your house more than any other.
Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground, membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.
As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively(本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves. Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird's mind.
As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptableto change.
你可以先尝试自己做一下题目，然后对照看看帮主的分析。
Q24
读题：对parrots而言，要更好地在野外攻击中存活下来，哪一个很重要？
破题：目标是在野外受到攻击能存活，观察选项发现四个选项都是动作，所以这道题的逻辑是“做什么，有助于parrot在野外受到攻击能存活”。
解题：带着这个预判回文，可以发现第二段提到了parrot易受伤害：Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground, membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators。高亮部分很好地回答了做什么可以提高受到攻击的存活率，那就是“membership in a group小组行动”，答案应该和这个意思一致，因此选A。
Q25
读题：遇到紧急危险时，parrots的第一反应是什么？
破题：题目问的是遇到危险，当下的第一反应，而不是其他反应，所以带着这个限定回原文，发现第三段第一句提到了danger，所以答案大概率在第三段。
解题：As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively(本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight.第三段前两句说parrots会持续关注危险，并本能地回应危险。这里instinctively应该是高考超纲词汇，所以命题人给了意思，而instinctively刚好对应问题中的first response，因此答案一定对应黄色高亮这句话：第一选择是起飞。
接下来看选项，会发现没有一个选项直接说了起飞，很明显这里命题人设置了陷阱：C和D可以直接排除，因为定位句子没说；有同学可能会选A，因为第三段第三句话写“However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves. ”即如果不能起飞，那就战斗。A有原文对应没错，但是A这个动作并非第一反应，而是第一反应无法开展后的第二反应，所以无法回答问题。
这样就只剩B选项了，get away的意思是“逃跑”，相当于escape，我们看一下collins词典的解释：When someone or something gets away, or when you get them away, they escape. 结合语境，起飞就是为了逃避攻击，因此用get away可以接受，虽然不直接对应意思，但直接对应目的。因此本题选B。
Q26
读题：为什么气球会吓到parrots？
破题：关键词是“气球”和“吓到”，据此回文定位到第三段最后一句，发现是“举例”，我们学过GMAT和GRE阅读，知道“举例”一定是为了例证，所以我们需要再往前寻找例子支持的论点。
解题：Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk…第三段这三句话高亮加粗的部分，表达了这三句话的逻辑关系：parrot最大敌人是hawk-->hawk容易从parrot上方或后方快速行动-->所以parrot对此类动作迅速反应（这类反应是本能反应）-->无害的家庭设备能让parrot极端害怕-->比如气球也许像hawk。
所以本题的解题逻辑是：气球像hawk，那么气球让parrot恐惧的原因=hawk让parrot恐惧的原因，这里的原因就是上一段分析的：hawk容易从parrot上方或后方快速行动。因此惊吓parrot的原因就是“快速行动”，选D。A/B/C原文定位点都没有提到，不选。
Q27
读题：作者写文章的目的是什么？
破题：本题类似咱们GMAT和GRE的主旨题，所以需要关注每一段的主题
解题：文章第一段介绍parrot是什么动物，第二段介绍parrot的敌人和在敌人攻击时存活下来的方法，第三段介绍parrot本能的应对危险的方式，然后转向了家庭中可能会让parrot觉得危险的要素，第四段开始给如何能更好养好家里的parrot的建议。所以通过主题转向，可知主要目的不是介绍，而是通过介绍给建议，因此选B。
小结
分析完高考阅读题，我们会发现命题有逻辑，选项设置有梯度（部分题目含陷阱），不知道备考GMAT和GRE的你回看是什么感觉呢？欢迎评论区留言。
