新高考英语阅读强化训练(四)(含答案解析)

2024届高考英语（新高考通用）压轴真题专项练习——阅读理解CD篇（人工智能类）命题预测人工智能类、医疗健身健康类类、动植物研究时代感。

从近年全国卷和各地高考试卷中科普类阅读命题的统计来看，高考阅读理解科普类文章的理论性和逻辑性强、生词多、句式结构复杂体现。

命题尊重语篇的文体特征和行文特点，考查了考生理解说明文语篇的能力，以及灵活运用各种阅读策略提取、归纳所读信息的能力，尤其加大了对概括能力1、说明文基本规律及解题要领高考中科普类阅读理解一般不给标题，反而经常要求考生选择最佳标题。

说明文一般采用如下四部分：首段：一般即是文章的主题段，开门见山点明新发明或研究对象。

背景: 交代问题的现状或研究的起因。

主干: 部分介绍研究所取得的突破，作者往往会详细介绍研究对象、研究方法、研究理论或具体的实验、统计等过程。

结尾: 通常会再次对中心进行概括、重述研究成果、预计的市场未来等与主题呼应。

二、说明文的解题技巧1. 运用语篇结构（text structure），了解文章大意科普说明文主题鲜明、脉络清晰，行文结构模式较为固定。

弄清文本结构有助于把握文章主旨和阅读重点。

人工智能类说明文通过对人工智能AI的说明，介绍人工智能的发展、运用及可能的市场。

结构上一般采用上述四个部分，说明手法上常使用以下说明方法：描述法（包括举例子、下定义、列数据等）、因果法、问题与比较法。

实验研究型文章一般会以实验的过程进展为线索，多用描述法、问题与对策法等方法，通过列数据、做对比等来说明新的科学研究发现及其产生的影响。

阅读时，首先用略读法快速浏览每段的首尾句，根据英语说明文思维模式特征，作者一般都会开门见山，直奔主题。

结尾通常也是中心思想的概括，并与导语相呼应。

因此在做主旨大意、写作意图和最佳标题等题目时，需要重点关注首尾段落里面高频复现的词汇和内容。

2. 定位标志词，分析长难句，进行逻辑推理判断每一个问题，在原文中，都要有一个定位。

高一英语阅读理解强化训练Day 4Passage 1Wikipedia(维基百科) is a non-profit website funded by donations(捐赠), started on 15th January, 2001. "Wiki" means "quick" in the Hawaiian language. These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia(百科), to look something up. But how reliable is it?The site attracts 78 million visitors every month, and it is available(可用的) in more than 270 different languages. It's one of the most comprehensive(综合的) resources available, and it's got much more information than an ordinary encyclopedia. The site is updated on a daily basis by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with an Internet connection can look through and edit the contents or add a new page at any time. And you don't need any formal training.Of course, there are some controls. Wikipedia has a team of more than 1, 500 administrators who check for false information. And main targets for horrible comments (such as politicians) are forbidden to public editing. But with more than 16 million articles to keep an eye on, it isn't easy. So, while Wikipedia is constantly updated with information from all over the world, it's also open to "vandals ".Some of the damage is easy to notice. Someone drew a moustache(胡子) on Microsoft chairman Bill Gates' photo. But other things are harder to spot. The most common form of vandalism involves adding tiny items of false information into the biography(自传) of a famous person. Unbelievably, some of this misinformation has appeared in newspapers, with The Daily Mail, The Guardian and The Independent allhaving fallen victim(受害者) to the tricks. For example, in an obituary(讣告) for British comedian Sir Norman Wisdom, one newspaper claimed that he co-wrote Dame Vera Lynn's wartime song "There'll be Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover". In fact, he did no such thing.1. The underlined word "vandals" in Paragraph 3 refers to those who________ .A. damage things for fun on purposeB. get benefits from othersC. take responsibility for somethingD. take care of something2. The example of Norman Wisdom's obituary is used to show________ .A. some newspapers like The Guardian are irresponsibleB. Wikipedia affects people's lives greatlyC. Norman Wisdom is unpopular with some peopleD. Wikipedia sometimes contains false information3. What does the author advise readers to do? ________A. To look through Wikipedia frequently.B. To be careful when using the information from Wikipedia.C. To turn to other websites for detailed information.D. To update Wikipedia on a daily basis.Passage 2A mother has lost parts of both of her legs after she saved the lives of her two children by lying on top of them as a deadly tornado swept through their home.Stephanie Decker, 36, lost one leg above the knee and the other above the ankle, yet her son and daughter escaped without a single scratch after the tornado destroyed their Henryville, Indiana home.Henryville was nearly entirely destroyed by a series of tornadoes that hit the South and Midwest, killing 39and leaving thousands homeless. But while the Decker family lost their dream home to the severe weather, they are celebrating their safety. Mrs. Decker is now in a stable condition；her husband said, "What I told her was, ‘you are alive and you get to see your kids grow up. '"Joe Decker told the reporters.Mr. Decker said that he had sent a text message to his wife from his workplace to tell her a tornado was heading for their three﹣story home. She rushed their eight﹣year﹣old son Dominic and five﹣year﹣old daughter Reese into the basement, where she tried her best to protect them from the storm.Mrs. Decker typed out what had happened by using an iPad in the hospital. She saw part of the house collapse(坍塌)on her and pulled her daughter out of the way. She doesn't remember anything after that.The home, which was partly built by Mr. Decker and his wife's father, is now completely destroyed, with a bathtub 200feet away in a filed, the Courier Journal reported. The house took about nine mouths to build and four seconds to fall, Mr. Decker added.CEO Carl J. Tyler praised the Deckers who lost everything and said that the company has set up a trust fund to help pay their medical bills and the losses they suffered. He added, "They are some of the hardest working, giving people you couldever want to meet. "1. The Deckers'attitude towards their suffering from the tornado is________ .A. pessimisticB. optimisticC. angryD. unsure2. When the tornado was about to hit their home, Mr. Decker was________ .A. setting out to go back homeB. working by using an iPadC. sending text messages to other workersD. reminding his wife about the tornado3. What can we infer from the passage? ________A. Mrs. Decker's brave deed is thought highly of.B. Mrs. Decker was asked to apply for a trust fund.C. The Deckers are considered to be the hardest workers.D. The Deckers are under great pressure to pay medical bills.Passage 3How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry. Psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal.In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more.According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈电路) in the teens’ brains are particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were activated when they received “likes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally.So does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible?Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.In “Why do people crave (渴望) attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.1. You may find this text in a magazine about________ .A. technologyB. educationC. entertainmentD. social life2. Who will NOT naturally expect attention according to Radwan? ________A. People who are living with their parents.B. Those who lack social recognition.C. People who are the focus of attention.D. Those who want to blanket what they’ve done.3. We know from the last paragraph that________ .A. checking your Moments or Facebook page is a waste of timeB. it is helpful to set goals concerning making contributionsC. focusing on one’s self-esteem is quite naturalD. self-teem has a bad effect on one’s goals4. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s addiction to “thumbs up”? ________A. worriedB. objectiveC. criticalD. supportivePassage 4We 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 theenvironmental 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. Devices were grouped by generation--Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box--set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e--readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living--room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house, " said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices--we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.So what's the solution（解决方案）? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on--demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.1. What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment--friendly.B. They are no better than the old.C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly.2. Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?A. To reduce the cost of minerals.B. To test the life cycle of a product.C. To update consumers on new technology.D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.3. Which of the following uses the least energy?A. The box--set TV.B. The tablet.C. The LCD TV.D. The desktop computer.4. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?A. Stop using them.B. Take them apart.C. Upgrade them.D. Recycle them.Passage 5As the first black female representative of Alabama in Congress, Terri A. Sewell said she was raised to accomplish anything she wanted. “I never saw my limitations when it came to being a woman in anything, let alone political power. ” Sewell recently said to The Washington Post.
