考点分类练(八) 词句猜测题(2)(限时:25分钟)Passage1(2023湖北武汉二模)Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone”thinks the same way?Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is pletely tailored to you and your beliefs,reading along without the immediate realization?A social media echo chamber(回音室) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leave out opposing viewpoints and differing voices.Social media sites like Meta,Twitter,and YouTube connect groups of likeminded users together based on shared content preferences.As a result,people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions.Social media panies therefore rely on algorithms(算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention.The algorithms focus on what we “like”,and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us fortable.In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media,we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our fort zone.While this bees increasingly challenging,there are things we can do.The first step is to beef up your media consumption sources.Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber.Next,read each thing you see with a critical eye.Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly stly,attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information.By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions,we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.1.What is a result of the social media echo chamber?A.People contact likeminded online users effectively.B.People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.C.People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.D.People only get information confirming their beliefs.2.Whatdoes“beefup”underlinedinparagraph3mean?A.Track.B.Improve.C.Provide.D.Identify.3.Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?A.Criticizing fake news on social media.B.Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.C.Researching primary sources of information.D.Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.4.What is the purpose of the text?A.To call on people to use algorithms frequently.B.To ask people not to take in information blindly.C.To promote the use of various social media sites.D.To inform people of new technology developments.Passage2(2023湖南邵阳二模)Our planet Earth is full of life and has incredible biodiversity.Biological diversity or biodiversity is the base of human existence and fundamental to its wellbeing.Species are the building blocks of this life on Earth,and it is believed that the species that are at present globally found have continuously evolved over 65 million years since the Last Mass Extinction.However,the nature and extent of our planet’s biodiversity at all levels have not been pletely evaluated y et.Thus,the exact number of species found in the world remains unknown.Over the years,with the advancement of scientific knowledge and the discovery of more new species,it has been approximated that there are,at present,10 million to 14 million species on Earth,of which 1.2 million species have been databased.This means that still more than 86% of the terrestrial(陆生的) and 91% of the marine species remain unknown.Every year,taxonomists(分类学家)describe thousands of species,some of which are pletely new to science,while in some cases,the species and subspecies are closely examined and determined whether they can be considered distinct species.A study has revealed that over 99.9% of all species amounting to more than 5 billion species that ever lived here,are believed to be extinct.At present,our planet houses millions of species,among which 86% live on land,13% in the deepsubsurface,and a mere 1% in the oceans.However,biodiversity is not evenly distributed on Earth,and its number varies greatly on different continents.The undiscovered and misidentified species slow our ability to understand patterns and changes in global biodiversity and the rate of species extinctions(灭绝).Even after several years of taxonomic studies,only 14% of terrestrial species and 9% of marine species have been officially added to the centraldatabase.Necessarily,some species will bee extinct before researchers realize they ever existed.5.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“marine”meaninparagraph1?A.Rare.B.Oceanic.C.Endangered.D.Novel.6.What do taxonomists usually do?A.Examine distribution of species.B.pare species from subspecies.C.Decide the situation of the species.D.Describe diversity of newfound species.7.Which of the following can describe the distribution of the Earth’s biodiversity?A.Unequal.B.Accumulative.C.Average.D.Maximum.8.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The central database covers all species.B.The rate of species extinctions is rather high.C.Many undiscovered species have been extinct.D.Humans know little about endangered species.Passage3(2023辽宁鞍山一模)Humans are developing new places to live in.In the south of Silicon Valley sits the Monterey Peninsula,where you’ll find a moveable munity that’s being designed as a rest region for the region’s tech elit es(精英).Walden Monterey was founded in 2016 by developer Nick Jekogian,who set out to turn the 609acre land into a coastal “agrihood” munity,a growing trend among the tech elites in which they avoid the idea of belonging to golf munities,unlike whatthe previous generations have done,and instead enjoy agricultural neighborhoods that focus on nature,farms,and outdoor living.The property plans to build 22 homes in total,with the lots they sit costing about $1 million each(three lots have been sold,as of September 2018).After the sales are made,buyers can work with a team of more than 20 architects assembled by Jekogian to then pay additional millions each for home construction.A key step in the buying process involves potential buyers actually visiting the land.Jekogian invites people to stay in “moveable rooms” or small moveable glass houses,which allow them to experience what living on the land would actually be like.But now,Walden Monterey will soon provide a new way to try out the land.The design studio DFA,founded by Laith Sayigh,was approached by Walden Monterey to design a house for potential buyers to stay each in while they think about purchase decisions.The 3Dprinted houses,named Galini Sleeping Pods,are 300 square feet in size,can be moved anywhere,are powered by solar panels,wind turbines and Tesla batteries,and will cost about $250,000 each.Sayigh told BusinessInsider that they’ re not just a future staple for the Walden Monterey munity,but that they represent the next generation of construction technology.9.What life do the tech elites like according to the text?A.Getting close to nature.B.Playing golf after work.C.Living in a big house.D.Having a house in Silicon Valley.10.What’s the purpose of designing Galini Sleeping Pods?A.To attract more people to visit the design studio DFA.B.To give a rule for the future construction technology.C.To call on architects to build more moveable munities.D.To offer buyers chances to try living in a moveable house.11.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“they”inthelastparagraphreferto?A.Solar panels.B.The 3Dprinted houses.C.Tesla batteries.D.The Walden Monterey munity.12.What can we infer from the text?A.The style of the houses depends on buyers’ own ideas.B.Buyers should pay off the expense of the houses in one attempt.C.The money spent on constructing the houses is more than the cost of the lots.D.Buyers of the houses are forbidden to get involved in the process of constructing. 答案：考点分类练(八) 词句猜测题(2)Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。

题型综合练(十九)一、阅读理解Athat would also help to increase my skills and confidence.Having previously suffered from depression and anxiety，I knew a full－time job would be more of a long－term goal.When I was introduced to V olunteering Matters，I was particularly interested in the handyperson service.I was a bit nervous though as it was brand new to me.After chatting with the project coordinator，I signed up and went through some initial training，which was really relaxing and enjoyable.In February，I took up the role as a handyperson organizer，which means it is my responsibility to speak to older people who require our service.After that，I assign the job request to the most appropriate volunteers，based on their location and skills.It usually takes about one hour per evening to complete my task.Having done this role now for six months，I have learned a great deal and am very proud to be a part of this project.I have seen first－hand how important it is to help older people，who would really struggle without our service.I really feel that I am doing my bit to help others and give something back.It has helped me to believe in myself and I have learned some new skills，wh ich I didn’t believe I could ever do，especially my communication，organization and interpersonal skills.It’s great to be able to build a relationship with our clients and volunteers and it is also a lot of fun.My confidence has increased and I absolutely love my volunteer organizer role.Most recently，I have also been helping the project coordinator with administration tasks and publicity(宣传)work for the service，which means I am improving my IT knowledge as well.It means a lot that I have received help and support from V olunteering Matters.At the same time，I am helping the organization and its beneficiaries(受益者)too.[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在失业多年之后，到一个慈善机构担任志愿者。

专题能力提升练十七限时30分钟(2015·浙江六校联考)When we asked Oprah to pick the 10 books she had read in the past decade that had mattered to her most, she was momentarily stumped. For someone who describes herself as “inspired, challenged, and sustained”by books, it was almost impossible for Oprah to stay within our limit of 10. Still, she offered up the following, but she emphasized that it was only a sampler of delightful titles that have also managed to teach her—and all of us—a few things.1. Discover the Power Within YouBy Eric Butterworth256 pages; Harper OneAdvice from the internationally known spiritual teacher.2. A New EarthBy Eckhart Tolle316 pages; PlumeThere’s a reason Oprah picked this for her Book Club in 2008—and that she gave audience members Post—it pens along with their copies. So much wisdom, so little time! A real-life guide to living your best life.3. The Poisonwood BibleBy Barbara Kingsolver576 pages; Harper PerennialThis novel is about a family involved in the political trouble of postcolonial Africa. It established Kingsolver as one of our wisest observers of history, politics, and human nature.4. NightBy Elie Wiesel120 pages; Hill and WangA memoir(回忆录)of a childhood suffered in concentration camps during the Holocaust. It’s horrific but uplifting. “I gain courage from his courage, ”Oprah says.5. A Fine BalanceBy Rohinton Mistry624 pages; VintageA Dickensian novel about India during the Emergency. Like the aftermath of September 11, it teaches us about cultures we haven’t understood. “It takes us out of our own little shell and exposes us to a whole other world out there, ”Oprah says.6. East of EdenBy John Steinbeck608 pages; PenguinThis classic is about good and evil as played out in alate-19th-century California ranch family. If you didn’t read it in high school, read it now. If you did, reread it!7. The Story of Edgar SawtelleBy David Wroblewski576 pages; Harper CollinsA kind of Hamlet on the prairie, this is the wrenching(令人痛苦的)story of a mute boy and his dog. Oprah compares it to East of Eden and To Kill a Micking bird.8. The Pillars of the EarthBy Ken Follett973 pages; PenguinAbout the challenges of building cathedrals in 12th-century England. This novel couldn’t be more different in setting, time, and plot from the author’s breakthrough success—Eye of the Needle. Oprah declares it simply “great”.9. The Bluest EyeBy Toni Morrison224 pages; PenguinHow to choose among the great Morrison’s novels? Start with this one about a girl who thinks she has to have blue eyes to be beautiful. Oprah considered it one of the best in a crowded Morrison field.10. The Known WorldBy Edward P. Jones400 pages, Harper CollinsWhen this book was published in 2003, it shocked everybody with its description of slave-owning blacks before the Civil War. A daring, unusual examination of race.【文章大意】当我们让奥普拉给出一些读书的建议时, 她推荐了10本她读过的书。

Panicked crowds move fast and let out a large amount of energy, usually compared to the energy made by a running train: once a crowd gets moving it is very hard to stop, and the flow of people could easily sweep you off your feet.It is interesting to see that the force of only 6 or 7 people pushing in the same direction can cause up to 1, 000 pounds of force—enough to break brick walls. During a deadly stampede, people can even die standing up. People die when pressure is put to their bodies in a front to back direction, causing them not to be able to breathe.If you are in a crowd, the first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and find different exits. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out.Make yourself aware of the type of ground you are standing on, and know that in a crowd of moving people wet ground can cause you to fall.When in danger, a few seconds can make a difference, giving you the possibility of taking advantage of your escaping route. Always stay closer to the escape route. If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure, do not stand still or sit down, because you could easily get trampled. Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd; take advantage of any space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.Keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxer—it gives you movement and protects your chest. If you fall, get up quickly. If you can’t get up because you are injured, get someone to pull you back up. If you have kids, lift them up.If you fall and cannot get up, keep moving in the same direction of the crowd, or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms; do not lie on your stomach or back.The worst thing is to be pushed by the crowd against an unmoving object. Try to stay away from walls, fences or something like this, as the crowd pressure can build up rapidly.【文章大意】人群中发生蜂拥事件会造成大量人员伤亡, 作者在本文中主要讲述了在处于人群中时, 应该如何去做以防意外发生.1. In a stampede people may die standing up mainly because______.A. they can’t breathe freelyB. they push in the same directionC. they are not able to get upD. they aren’t familiar with their surroundings【解析】选A.细节理解题.根据第二段可知, 在致命的蜂拥事件中, 人们甚至站着就死去了, 原因是当压力从他们的身体前方向后方施加时, 他们不能呼吸, 由此可知A项正确.【误区警示】本题可能会误选其他选项, 其实仔细阅读文章内容可知其他三个选项都不是其真正的原因.2. What will you do first if you are in a crowd?A. Move in the same direction with others.B. Find exits and know how to get out.C. Know about the type of ground.D. Keep your hands up by your chest.【解析】选B.细节理解题.根据第三段可知, 如果你在人群中, 首先的也是最重要的事情是熟悉周围的环境并找到不同的出口.无论你在哪里, 务必确保你总是知道怎么能出去.3. When in danger, to make a difference, you should______.A. fight against the pressureB. stand still where you areC. sit down covering your headD. move along the escape route【解析】选D.推理判断题.根据第五段可知, 处于危险中时, 确保你可以利用你的逃跑路线, 不要与人群的压力相对抗, 不要站着不动或坐下来, 由此可判断D项正确.4. The passage is mainly about______.A. how to stay far away from a crowdB. what to do when you are in a crowdC. where to go when you are in dangerD. how to get out of a big crowd【解析】选B.主旨大意题.第一、二段导入文章的话题, 拥挤的人群可能造成人的死亡, 后面详细叙述了当你处于人群中时, 应该如何去做以防意外发生, 由此可判断B项正确.【误区警示】本题可能会误选C、D项, “处于危险中时你应该去哪里”和“如何脱离拥挤的人群”只是文章内容的一小部分, 不可以用来概括文章的中心话题, 所以都不是作者的写作目的.5. The underlined words “sweep you off your feet”probably mean______.A. make you feel excitedB. make you fall downC. make you run awayD. make you stand still【解析】选 B.词义猜测题.根据上下文及常识可知, 在拥挤的人群中, 脚可能因压力而离开地面, 从而跌倒.这样的话就会导致人因踩踏而死亡.(2015·浙江五校联考) Ensure you are prepared for your exams by understanding the processes, dates and support information relating to examinations.

But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.The two-year study compared children who were read to this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.Shayne Piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most preschool teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read storybooks in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text.Ms Piasta says if you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling. But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.The report appears in the journal Child Development.More than three hundred children aged four and five were observed in classrooms in Ohio and Virginia. The children came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. This put them at risk of reading problems later.For thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR, for Sit Together And Read. The project is based in Ohio State. Ittests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to preschool children in their classrooms.Laura Justice in Ohio State was an investigator for the study. She heads the Preschool Language and Literacy Laboratory. She says one of the areas that interest researchers is known as the“locus of learn ing”. “Where is it that a child learns something? Where is that space? We think we have identified it pretty well in terms of fostering(助长)some children’s knowledge about print. ”says Laura Justice. She also says this knowledge can be gained by having focused discussions when reading a book to a child. Laura Justice says, “We think we understand how information about print is transmitted from the adult to the child. And we think we have centered on this intervention that really helps adults center on the things that children need and want to learn. ”There are different ways that teachers and parents can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word, “This is ‘dog’. ”They can discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the print—for instance, showing how words are written left to right in English.【文章大意】本文主要讲述的是幼儿教育方面的一个新的研究结果, 告诉我们要更多地关注文字和语言方面的教育, 而不仅仅是图片的教育.10.

专题能力提升练十八限时30分钟Robots are common in today’s world. They manufacture cars, work in space, explore oceans, clean up oil spills and investigate dangerous environments. And now, scientists at the University of Manchester are using a robot as a laboratory partner.The researchers at the university created the robot in 2009 and named it Adam. Despite the name, Adam is not a humanoid robot. It is about the size of a car.Adam was built to do science and make discoveries. Ross King is the leader of the University of Manchester research team. He says the robot made a discovery about yeast(酵母), a kind of fungus used in science as a model for human cells.“Adam hypothesized certain functions of genes within yeast and experimentally tested these hypothesizes and confirmed them. So it both hypothesized and confirmed new scientific knowledge. ”Adam’s success as a scientist led to the creation of another robot scientist named Eve. Researchers developed Eve to design and testdrugs for tropical and neglected diseases. These diseases kill and infect millions of people each year.Drug development is slow and costly. Experts say it can take more than 10 years and about $1 billion to discover and develop new medicines. Drug manufacturers are unlikely to get their investment money back.So the University of Manchester developed a low-cost test that shows whether or not a chemical is likely to be made into an effective medicine. Mr King says that other drug testing methods were not very effective.“How it works conventionally is you use robotics(机器人技术)as well and you have a large collection of possible drugs. You test every single compound(复合物). And you start at the beginning of your library and continue until the end, and stop. So it’s not a very intelligent process. The robotics doesn’t learn anything as it goes along, even if it’s tested a million compounds, it still doesn’t have any expectation of what will happen next when it tests a new compound. ”Mr King says that Eve is different because the robot learns as it tests different compounds. He says the robot is designed to ignore compounds that it thinks unlikely to be good. It will only test the compounds which have a good chance of working.Eve has discovered that a compound known to be effective against cancer might also be used to fight against malaria and other tropical diseases.Mr King says he hopes to completely automate the drug testing。
