课时练1阅读理解提速练Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·沈阳市高三模拟)Wild elephants can tell whether a voice comes from a man，a woman or a boy，a new study says.That’s what researchers found when they played recordings of people for elephants in Kenya.Scientists say this is an advanced thinking skill that other animals haven’t shown.It lets elephants figure out who is a threat and who isn’t.The result shows that the clever animals are also studying people，said study author Karen McComb.“Basically，they have developed this very rich knowledge of the humans that they share their habitat with，”said McComb，a professor at the University of Sussex in England.“Memory is key.They must build up that knowledge somehow.”The study was released on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.It’s clo se to but not quite like the Dr.Seuss’s book，where the elephant Horton hears something that others can’t hear.McComb and colleagues went to Amboseli National Park in Kenya，where hundreds of wild elephants live among humans，sometimes coming in conflict over scarce water.The scientists used voice recordings of Maasai men，who on occasion kill elephants，and Kamba men，who are less of a threat to the elephants.As a result，the elephants reacted more defensively—retreating and gathering in a bunch—to the Maasai language recording because it was associated with the more threatening human tribe，said study co－author Graeme Shannon.They repeated the experiment with recordings of Maasai men and women.Since women almost never spear elephants，the animals react ed less defensively to the women’s voices.The same thing happened when they substituted young boys’ voices.“Making this kind of fine distinctions in human voice patterns is quite remarkable，”said Emory University animal cognition expert Frans de Waal，who was not part of the study.【解题导语】研究表明野生大象能够识别男人、女人和男孩的声音，它们通过思维区分声音并判断谁能对他们产生威胁。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Microsoft announced this week that its facial-recognition system is now more accurate in identifying people of color, touting (吹嘘)its progress at tackling one of the technology's biggest biases (偏见).But critics, citing Microsoft's work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, quickly seized on how that improved technology might be used. The agency contracts with Microsoft for cloud-computing tools that the tech giant says is largely limited to office work but can also include face recognition.Columbia University professor Alondra Nelson tweeted, "We must stop confusing 'inclusion' in more 'diverse' surveillance (监管)systems with justice and equality."Facial-recognition systems more often misidentify people of color because of a long-running data problem: The massive sets of facial images they train on skew heavily toward white men. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology study this year of the face-recognition systems designed by Microsoft, IBM and the China-based Face++ found that facial-recognition systems consistently giving the wrong gender for famous women of color including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, Michelle Obama and Shirley Chisholm, the first black female member of Congress.The companies have responded in recent months by pouring many more photos into the mix, hoping to train the systems to better tell the differences among more than just white faces. IBM said Wednesday it used 1 million facial images, taken from the photo-sharing site Flickr, to build the "world's largest facial data-set" which it will release publicly for other companies to use.IBM and Microsoft say that allowed its systems to recognize gender and skin tone with much more precision. Microsoft said its improved system reduced the error rates for darker-skinned men and women by "up to 20 times," and reduced error rates for all women by nine times.Those improvements were heralded(宣布)by some for taking aim at the prejudices in a rapidly spreading technology, including potentially reducing the kinds of false positives that could lead police officers misidentify a criminal suspect.But others suggested that the technology's increasing accuracy could also make it more marketable. The system should be accurate, "but that's just the beginning, not the end, of their ethical obligation," said David Robinson, managing director of the think tank Upturn.At the center of that debate is Microsoft, whose multimillion-dollar contracts with ICE came under fire amid the agency's separation of migrant parents and children at the Mexican border.In an open letter to Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella urging the company to cancel that contract, Microsoft workers pointed to a company blog post in January that said Azure Government would help ICE "accelerate recognition and identification." "We believe that Microsoft must take an ethical stand, and put children and families above profits," the letter said.A Microsoft spokesman, pointing to a statement last week from Nadella, said the company's "current cloud engagement" with ICE supports relatively anodyne(温和的)office work such as "mail, calendar, massaging and document management workloads." The company said in a statement that its facial-recognition improvements are "part of our going work to address theindustry-wide and societal issues on bias."Criticism of face recognition will probably expand as the technology finds its way into more arenas, including airports, stores and schools. The Orlando police department said this week that it would not renew its use of Amazon. com's Rekognition system.Companies "have to acknowledge their moral involvement in the downstream use of their technology,"Robinson said. "The impulse is that they're going to put a product out there and wash their hands of the consequences. That's unacceptable."（1）What is "one of the technology's biggest biases" in Paragraph 1?A. Class bias.B. Regional difference.C. Professional prejudice.D. Racial discrimination.（2）What can we know about the improvement of facial-recognition technology?A. Justice and equality have been truly achieved.B. It is due to the expansion of the photo database.C. It has already solved all the social issues on biases.D. The separation of immigrant parents from their children can be avoided.（3）What is the focus of the face-recognition debate?A. Data problems.B. The market value.C. The application field.D. A moral issue.（4）What is David Robinson's attitude towards facial-recognition technology?A. Skeptical.B. Approval.C. Optimistic.D. Neutral.（5）We can infer from the last paragraph that Robinson thinks _____.A. companies had better hide from responsibilitiesB. companies deny problems with its technical processC. companies should not launch new products on impulseD. companies should be responsible for the new product and the consequences（6）Which can be the suitable title for the passage?A. The wide use of Microsoft systemB. Fears of facial-recognition technologyC. The improvement of Microsoft systemD. Failure of recognizing black women【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）D（4）A（5）D（6）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，微软面部识别技术改进了肤色识别，宣布其人脸识别技术将会更加精确，但是人们却认为它会带来更大的问题，希望微软把道德置于其利润之上，并且能够为产品以及其带来的后果负责。

高考英语一轮总复习必修第一册提能训练：Unit 5 Languages Around the World Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2023·沈阳市一模) It is an unpleasant extinction that will change the world and how people communicate: Within 20 years, two thirds of all the planet's languages will be dead.Experts agree that nothing can stop it happening but one academic is trying her hardest to slow it down.Professor Antonella Sorace is one of a growing number of people who believe learning a second language has enormous untapped benefits for the human brain.This is true not only for young children but also for adults and people at risk from dementia (痴呆), where research consistently shows that learning a new language could delay the start of the disease for 4 to 5 years—a better result than with any medication to date.It is those benefits of bilingualism (双语) that should encourage us to preserve and protect European minority languages—Gaelic, Manx, Cornish and Ulster Scots, she says.Already her work and the project she founded in Edinburgh Bilingualism Matters—now expanding across Europe and in the U．S.—have convinced the Scottish government to introduce languages to primary schools.From 2023 all Scottish children are learning a language other than English in their first year at school, with two other languages to be introduced later.Bilingualism Matters is also working to encourage businesses to consider the benefits of their staff learning languages.“In business, people say‘English is the language of business, why would I need to learn another language？’”said Sorace.“Maybe it would mean you could do better business.”Just as disappearing forests take with them secrets of undiscovered medicines, disappearing languages can take the key to a longer and better quality of life.The first battle is to unpick the popular assumption that bilingualism might damage children's brains.There were even suggestions it could encourage schizophrenia(精神分裂症)．“Study after study has shown the opposite to be true，” says Sorace.“These prejudices are deeply rooted, but we are perhaps halfway to persuading people thatthe brain can cope.Then we have to persuade people that it is actually of benefit.”语篇导读：文章主要介绍了安东内拉·索拉切教授认为学习第二语言对人类的大脑和健康都有着巨大的好处，并鼓励人们拯救并保护小语种。

营口市（辽宁）2017高考英语一轮阅读理解统编题（一）附参考答案（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。

Masses of floating ice are so large that they dwarf__your__ship，making you question whether your ship still can be spotted among such floating mountains.They are so improbable looking that you simply look in wonder.It seems that nothing that large could be natural—and then it strikes you that something so large could only be natural.Now，people realize that as climate change is raising global temperatures，more icebergs are being born.Antarctica creates far more of them than Greenland，the source of bergs in Arctic waters.Antarctica's are also much larger，sometimes reaching the size of small countries.Recent data show the averagestern Antarctic Peninsula since the 1940s，making the region，among the fastest warming on earth.This jump has been shown in the recent breaking of major ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula.As a result，thousands of new icebergs have broken off，from ice shelves into the Southern Ocean at an accelerated rate.Even as more icebergs are being created，scientists are learning that they are far from inactive masses of ice.In fact，they strikingly alter their environments biologically，chemically，and physically，making them islands of life in the open sea.Observers at sea have long remarked that they attract seals，and seabirds，and divers have noticed that fish are more numerous near them than in the surrounding sea.Now scientists are learning just what the attraction is all about.Depending on their size，location，and the season，icebergs can be nurturers (培养者) or destroyers.During their existence—typically years from breaking off from an Antarctic or Greenlandic glacier to their gradual melting as they float into lower altitudes，they support animals on，around，even inside their splendid ice castle.They fertilize the ocean with nutrients，increasing sea creature production.Grounded bergs can shelter areas of the seafloor，protecting bottom－living creatures from free－floating icebergs.However，large bergs can also trap sea ice，preventing its annual breakup and thus stopping phytoplankton (浮游植物) from getting life—giving sunlight，breaking the food chain at its first link.Icebergs will continue to astonish and attract visitors to the polar regions.But now these frozen large masses are taking on a new dimension of wonder as we uncover their vital role in the environment of polar seas.Nolonger can we look at icebergs as mere passive white mountains floating in the sea.They are active agents of change，each one is an icy oasis with awake of life as it floats on its unstoppable oceanic journey to melting. 【语篇解读】本文为说明文，介绍了随着全球气温不断上升，冰山数量不断增多。

沈阳市高考英语试卷阅读理解题分类汇编(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Demand for the Chinese tech company's devices(设备) is red hot even though the country's overall market for smartphones is getting smaller Huawei's China sales rocketed more than 20% in the final quarter of 2018, and experts say that's partly due to the US government's global campaign against the company.“The latest tension between the US and China raised the patriotism(爱国主义) in Chinese consumers, said Jusy Hong, an analyst at research firm IHS Markit.He pointed out that some Chinese companies encouraged employees to buy Huawei phones late last year. The moves were a gesture of support after the firm's chief financial officer was arrested in Canada in early December at the request of the United States.Huawei's booming sales show how major parts of its business continue to increase even as the United States tries to persuade other countries to shut Huawei products out of 5G wireless networks and pursues(追究) criminal charges against it. The company expects to overtake Samsung as the world's biggest smartphone maker by next year.Huawei sold 30 million phones in China in the last three months of 2018, nearly three times as many as Apple(AAPL), according to data published this week by research firms Canalys and IDC. Apple's sales plunged almost 20%.Huawei's success in China, the world's largest smartphone market, is more than about geopolitics(地缘政治). Chinese consumers love its flagship, high -end- phones because they have great cameras, cutting edge technology and cost less than the latest iPhones, according to analysts. And by offering a selection of cheaper phones, Huawei is able to target a bigger market. It also benefited from the troubles this year at ZTE (ZTCOF), a rival Chinese smartphone and telecommunications equipment maker. ZTE was banned by the US government from buying vital American parts for months last year.（1）Why did Huawei's China sales increase greatly according to the article?A. Because the company's devices are always popular worldwide.B. Because Chinese consumers' patriotism was aroused.C. Because the government encourages people to buy Huawei devices.D. Because the country's overall market for smartphones is getting bigger.（2）What can we conclude from the third paragraph?A. Huawei's chief financial officer was arrested in Canada due to the US's request.B. All Chinese companies showed their support to Huawei with their purchase.C. Jusy Hong thought the United States arrested Huawei's chief financial officer.D. Jusy Hong thought the arrest of Huawei's chief financial officer is unfair.（3）How do you understand the underlined word in the fifth paragraph?A. increased greatly by.B. reduced greatly to.C. dropped greatly by.D. remained steady.（4）Why is Huawei's success in China more than about geopolitics?A. Because Huawei has the largest smartphone market in the world.B. Because Huawei's success is only limited within China mainland.C. Because Huawei has the ability to target a bigger market in the world.D. Because Chinese consumers are quite satisfied with Huawei smartphones.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）C（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了华为公司在手机市场日益缩小的中国仍然火爆的原因。

沈阳市高考英语试卷阅读理解题分类汇编(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解An experimental cleanup device called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a dummy (仿真的) satellite, imitating a technique that could one day collect spaceborne garbage. The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a satellite can cause critical damage.Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low-Earth orbit, already the most crowded area.The RemoveDEBRIS experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the U. K.'s Surrey Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbus-owned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France's ArianeGroup.Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long.The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris.Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said the success of this week's experiment was exciting, but he cautioned against "over- publicizing" it. There are still enormous barriers to clear before operational cleanup tasks are underway, he said, and the most discouraging is figuring out how to fund such projects.Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said "The challenge will lie in persuading the relevant authorities to sponsor these tasks." Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.（1）What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite?A. Demonstrating space technology.B. Imitating a developing technique.C. Collecting wastes existing in space.D. Symbolizing great progress in space.（2）How does the RemoveDEBRlS satellite work?A. By throwing a net to take the junk from orbit.B. By fastening it to the main satellite tightly.C. By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long.D. By targeting large pieces of junk carefully.（3）What does the underlined word "sponsor" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Accomplish.B. Support.C. Oppose.D. Provide.（4）What's the best title for the text?A. The RemoveDEBRIS Project Is PerfectB. How RemoveDEBRIS Is Invented in the LabC. Why the RemoveDEBRIS Satellite Is InventedD. Satellite Collects Space Junk for the First Time【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“卫星首次收集太空垃圾。
