第三讲推理判断题A(2017·湖北武汉高三调研)I felt like I had clicked my heels three times and come to a country away from home every morning as I walked through the doors at the Embassy of Australia in Washington.Musical Aussie accents and Aboriginal art exhibits made me wonder if I had entered without a visa. In fact I was a temporary employee，a public affairs unpaid intern(实习生) for three months during the summer in order to engage myself in the culture of the country where I planned to study the next spring.During the summer I read the Australian news every day. Working at the embassy allowed me to escape the U．S.for six hours per day and learn about what was going on across the planet.After reading the daily Australian and U．S.news I usually helped prepare a PowerPoint presentation for school kids who visited the embassy as part of a school activity. Depending on whether an embassy event was going on，I would attend weekly meetings to listen to planning and see what I could do to ually there were smaller tasks to be done such as creating visitors’ guides.The most fantastic event in which I participated was the visit of the Australian Prime Minister. As the only American among countless Australian media and staff, I felt comfortable and was kept busy taking pictures and recor ding doorstop interviews at famous sites such as the Capitol. As an intern, you will not be exposed to top­secret information, but you are on the inside when it comes to special events.Government work is a useful addition to one’s experience.

专题强化练(三) 推理推断题——观点看法类A(2024·广州市高三调研测试)Our planet quakes thousands of times a year，but we still can't predict exactly when and where earthquakes will strike.What if animals' odd behaviors could warn us?Researchers have reviewed hundreds of reports on pre­packed abnormal animal behaviors，but more were just anecdotes．Geologist Jim Berkland counted newspaper ads looking for runaway cats and dogs.On October 13，1989，he told a newspaper reporter a big quake would strike in a week.Four days later，the Loma Prieta earthquake hit! But the scientific community still rejected Berkland's theory.He didn't document every prediction，so nobody could measure his accuracy rate.Actual scientific evidence has to be repeatable.And a connection between a cause and an effect has to be shown to be stronger than random chance through careful experimentation and data collection.California researchers in the 1970s happened to have built controlled habitats to monitor the wheel­running activity of pocket mice.These habitats happened to be in an active earthquake area.Then the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake struck nearby.The researchers checked their data and found no big changes in how long the animals ran in their wheels or stayed underground before the earthquake activity.What might the next experiment show?Researchers from 150 universities worldwide are working on a new study called the ICARUS project.The project tracks many small animal species such as birds，bats，and turtles for the purpose of scientific research.One group of researchers are looking for possible connections between animal behaviors and earthquakes.If they find a reliable connection，this could save hundreds of thousands of human lives.ICARUS aims to power an app that will give people hours to get to safety.However，not everyone is hopeful.Geologist Wendy Bohon said that ICARUS is doing some “cool things”，but she knows animal behaviors are hard to pin down.“My cat could act crazy before an earthquake，”she says.“But it also acts crazy if somebody uses the can opener.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。
