专题16 科普类说明文2018高考题D【2018·全国I】We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new， but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices （装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using， Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life - from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s。

P99-101BSo much work and too little play is not good for anybody, especially school students. That’s what we have—too much work and too little play. Getting more vacation is a way to correct this problem.I think that we students should be given much more vacation time than we get right now. At the present time, we’re off only three weeks in winter, two months in summer, and all national holidays. It's not enough. We work hard in school, and we need time to relax. We need more time than we get now. In fact we need a lot more time.Students should get more vacation time because I feel we go to school too much during the year. I've only checked with my best friend Matt, but I think the whole school would agree with me on this. They all understand the importance of time away from books and homework. They would agree that more time for ballgames and television would be a good idea.Adults who work in business get vacation, so why shouldn't kids? Yes, school is important, but so is vacation. It's something that all kids deserve. Now is the time to see that we get what we deserve.29.What is the writer’s opinion in the passage?A.Students should get more school time.B.Students should have more vacation time.C.Students should spend more time on ballgames.D.Students should understand the importance of play.30.How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A.By describing many details.B. By telling true stories.C. By expressing their thoughts.D. By showing some numbers.31.It's something that all kids deserve. The word “deserve” in the sentence means “”.A.should be givenB. should be toldC. should be taughtD. should be allowedCSonia looked at the dry cereal(麦片) in her bowl. Themilk carton was across the table in front of Sonia's little brother, Trenton. Sonia was quietly waiting for Trenton to stop talking so she could ask him to pass the milk."I hope I have enough pencils," Trenton said. It was Trenton's first day of school. He was very excited as well as a little nervous.A growl(咕噜声)came from Sonia's stomach, and she decided not to wait any longer. She couldn't understand what all the excitement was about. All she wanted to do was to eat her cereal but she needed the milk."Trenton—" said Sonia."I think Jorge is in Ms. Rick's class too," Trenton said. He had not even heard his sister call his name. He was too busy talking to his father about what might happen on his first day of school."Trenton—" said Sonia a little louder."I wonder if I'll be able to find the lunchroom. What should I do if I am late for lunch?""Trenton!" Sonia said a little more loudly.Trenton stopped talking. Dad looked up from his cup of coffee."I'm sorry, but I need Trenton to pass the milk," Sonia said, "He talked for an hour!""I didn't talk for an hour," Trenton said. "Youdid," Sonia said."I didn't," Trenton said."That's enough," Dad said to Trenton.Dad turned to Sonia, "I remember breakfast on your first day of school."Sonia thought back to that day. She had been nervous, and she had asked Dad a million questions. Dad had answered every one. Maybe she needed to show a little more understanding towards her younger brother. "Don't worry about getting lost.Sonia waits while Trenton is talking.Your teacher will take you where you need to go. I can check your backpack to see if you have everything you need," she said.Trenton’s face brightened. "Really?""But you have to do something first," Sonia said. "What's that?" Trenton asked.Sonia smiled at her little brother. "Pass me the milk!" 32. Which question does Paragraph 2 answer? A. Who is Trenton’s teacher? B. How does Trenton go to school? C.

Sonia tries to speak to TrentonC. Sonia tells Trenton about school.D. Sonia eats her breakfast without milk.34. Based on the story, why does Sonia decide to help Trenton? A. She wants Trenton to pass the milk. B. Her dad asks her to take care of Trenton. C. Her teacher wants her to be kind to Trenton. D. She begins to understand how Trenton feels. 35. Why is Dad important to the story? A. He passes the milk to Sonia at breakfast. B. He makes breakfast for Trenton and Sonia. C. He helps Sonia remember her first day of school. D. He shows Trenton where his lunchroom is at school.DDid you know that some students don’t do their reading assignments (作业), not even short texts? There are many reasons for this. Students may be bored or not willing to give special attention. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why.Reading makes your mind active. It is like the exercise for your brain. When people get old, they become weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get older. Brain power and speed decline (衰退) with age. Reading can prevent these declines.You can get help from reading in the near future too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way is to practise.Read everything that you can at school, whether you find it interesting or not. Reading adds to your vocabu lary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more wisely.Do not just consider a text unimportant because you don’t know about it. Each time you read, you are provided with new ideas. Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader way of thinking. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures different from your own.Reading is good for your feeling. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can get away from your troubles for a moment when you read. So the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Then move on to the next one.36.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A.Reading is exciting and relaxing.B.Exercise keeps your body in shape.C.Reading prevents your mind declining.D.Age influences the body in many ways.37.Why does the writer think that you should read boring books?A.You will make your teacher very happy.B.You will learn new words through reading.C.You will get better grades in the reading tests.D.You will finally love them if you read them through.38.What doesn’t the writer mention in the text?A.Reading has a calming effect.B.Reading teaches you about cultures.C.Reading can lower your stress levels.D.Reading helps you prepare for your job.39.Which is the writer’s main purpose in writing this text?A.He is teaching students how to become better readers.B.He is telling readers fun facts about the mind and body.C.He is trying to advise students to do their reading work.D.He is explaining why students don’t do their reading work.40.What is the best title for this text?A.Reading: The Key to a Successful FutureB.Reading: Good for the Mind in Many WaysC.Reading: Improve Your Vocabulary While Having FunD.Reading: The Best Way to Improve Your Writing Skills秦淮区：阅读理解（共15 小题；每小题1 分，满分15 分）阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

In the 1920s, Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget proposed that children's cognitive (认知的) abilities unfold （8）, like the blooming of a flower, almost independent of what else is（9）in their lives.

So how much would it actually cost to 1 every animal on Earth? A pair of Brazilian scientists has crunched (详细计算) the numbers and 2 up with an answer: $263 billion.That's way more than the $5 billion that famed Harvard University biologist Edward O. Wilson estimated back in 2000—and that was for every species on Earth, not just animals. But even $263 billion would be a 3 price to pay to understand the creatures that 4 such essentials as agriculture, fisheries, new drugs, and energy sources, says ornithologist (鸟类学家) Joel Cracraft of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. "Literally, the world economy runs on biodiversity," he says. "People don't understand really, deeply how much we depend on biodiversity."Most biologists agree that with extinction rates 5 and climate change looming, the 6 to document the planet's biodiversity—or biota (生物区)—is urgent, 7 considering the essential role these life forms play in crop pollination, clean air, and other aspects of human 8 . "We are losing species by extinction faster than we are describing new species" according to some estimates, says biologist Antonio Marques, who 9 the new paper with Fernando Carbayo, both at the University of St. Paulo in Brazil. "We have to know the biota to preserve and conserve the biota," he says.Besides the money, another huge 10 to a complete understanding of the animal kingdom is a global shortage of taxonomists (分类学家), experts say.III.

Moreover, most adult children 1 every bit as much care and support to their aging parents as was the case in the “good old days”, and most older people do not feel 2 .About 80% of people 65years and older have living children, and about 90% of them have 3 contact with their children. About 75% of elderly parents who don’t go to nursing homes live within 30 minutes of at least one of their children.However, 4 having contact with children does not guarantee happiness in old age. In fact, some research has found that people who are most involved with their families have the lowest spirits. This research may be 5 , however, as ill health often makes older people more 6 and thereby increases contact with family members. So it is more likely that poor health, not just family involvement, 7 spirits.Increasingly, researchers have begun to look at the quality of relationships, rather than at the frequency of contact, between the elderly and their children. If parents and children share interests and values and agree on childrearing practices and religious 8 , they are likely to enjoy each other’s company. Disagreements on such matters can 9 cause problems. If parents are agreed by their daughter’s div orce, dislike her new husband, and disapprove of how she is raising their grandchildren, 10 are that they are not going to enjoy her visits.III.

Researchers in the Netherlands report that children who get more exercise, whether at school or on their own, 1to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests. In a 2of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic 3 , investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school, 4in the basic subjects of math, English and reading.The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to 5on smaller budgets. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from study time. With standardized test scores in the U.S. 6in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be 7exclusive. Physical activity can improve blood 8 to the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity, which are 9 to learning. And exercise releases hormones that can improve 10 and relieve stress, which can also help learning. So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when they’re running around,III.
