高考英语阅读题都出自哪些报刊网站

昨天在后台收到一位小伙伴的私信，说，ivy你聊聊高考英语吧，这两年的高考英语阅读越来越难了。我很少关注高考英语。不过，昨晚收到这条私信之后，随意上网搜索了一下，不由得感叹出题人的“国际眼光”。很多阅读篇章都选自外刊或者新闻网站，包括但不限于时代周刊、纽约每日新闻、基督教箴言报，当然，还有大家非常熟悉的经济学人。比如，2017年高考的一篇阅读理解：A new commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urging antitrust(反垄断) regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago ,the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns ares being raised by the giants(巨头) that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.这篇阅读讲大数据，就选自去年的经济学人杂志，原标题是

还有2016年高考的一篇阅读，讲的是温室效应：El Nino, a Spanish term for ＂the Christ child＂, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nino sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.这篇阅读也选自经济学人，标题是 Disaster foretold：

除了经济学人之外，类似CBS这样的新闻网站也成了高考阅读的选题库。比如2017年高考英语全国卷的一篇阅读：Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle-named the Transition – has two seats， four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.这篇就节选自CBS网站：

还有2017年高考全国卷的这篇阅读：I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.选自网站Newsday:

当然，有时候出题老师也会去一些比较冷门的博客找文章，比如2017年新疆高考英语的一篇阅读：I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.这篇文章选自国外一个博客：

如果还要挖坟，应该还能挖出很多出处。虽然这些年类似“取消高考英语”之类的调调不绝于耳，几分真几分假这里不去讨论，但从过去两年各地高考英语阅读的选题来看，出题老师的意图已经很明显了：他们没有从国内蹩脚的英文教材中改编出题，而是直接从国外各大报刊新闻网站中就地取材，就是希望考生能扎扎实实地打好阅读、语法乃至词汇基础，适应原汁原味的英文文章。押题没有意义，多阅读、多思考、多积累，才是笑傲大小英语考试的王道。
