(英語)高中英語閱讀理解(教育文化)技巧(很有用)及練習題一、高中英語閱讀理解教育文化類1.閱讀理解 Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to build a bridge with things you know about, and then bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics. Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a milliondollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? Most of us believe that the universe makes sense, Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox (悖論) is open for future physicists to solve. When asked how physics could bee more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren39。t yet ready, perhaps, to learn maths. When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. The basic stuff is important, Greene said. But I think it39。s really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details. Greene has followed Albert Einstein39。s lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is not just a matter of solving problems in an exam. It39。s about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena (現象)—and having fun!(1)A milliondollar question is probably very . (2)The books by Weinberg and Susskind . boring to read mainly about maths popular science books only popular among kids(3)According to Paragraph 4,which of the following does Greene agree with? physics is a boring subject. plays an important role in studying. is not necessary to learn all about physics. is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang.(4)In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that . can love science and physics can do well in physics exams can have fun with experiments can find more strange things in life【答案】 (1)B(2)C(3)B(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,物理和數學教授Brian Greene希望更多的孩子可以對現代物理學感興趣。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據第二段Greene對這個問題的解釋以及他說需要未來的物理學家去解決可知,作者提出的這個問題非常難。故選B。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據第三段中的“…books by…‘make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren39。t yet ready, perhaps, to learn maths39。.”可知,Greene認為Weinberg和Susskind等物理學家寫的書淺顯易懂,適合普通大眾閱讀,故這些書屬于受歡迎的科普讀物。故選C。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據第四段可知,當作者指出一些學生覺得物理無聊時,Greene說重要的是向孩子們講述一些稀奇古怪的事,并描述一些諸如黑洞和宇宙大爆炸的現代物理現象,如果孩子們知道了這些,他們中的一些就愿意了解所有詳細的內容。因此可推知他認為興趣在學習過程中起著非常重要的作用。故選B。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據最后一段中的“Greene has followed Albert Einstein39。s lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the he wants kids to do the same.”可知,Greene希望孩子們可以像他一樣對科學和物理感興趣,去探索宇宙的奧秘。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇教育類閱讀,考生需要根據上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。2.閱讀理解 Limiting kids39。 recreational(消遣的) screen time to less than two hours a day, along with enough sleep and physical activity, is associated with improved cognition(認知), according to a study published in The Lancet Child amp。 Adolescent Health. The study included about 4,500 US children aged 8 to 11 and measured their habits against the Canadian 24Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth. It found that 51% of the children got the remended(建議) nine to eleven hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, 37% met the recreational screen time limit of two hours or less per day, while 18% met the physical activity remendation of at least 60 minutes of accumulated physical activity a day. Only 5% of the children in the study met all three remendations。 30% met none at all. The researchers found that as each remendation was met by a participant, there was a positive association with global cognition, which includes memory, attention, processing speed and language. Those who met all three had the most superior global cognition, followed by those meeting the sleep and screen time remendation and finally the screen time remendation alone, according to the study. Other organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics have guidelines in place to help with the management of children39。s screen time. The organization suggests putting realistic rules or limits in place for how long your children are on their screens, knowing who they are talking to and what they are doing. The amount of remended screen time depends on the age of the child. Besides, parents should also make sure to encourage physical activity and have bedroom rules such as creating techfree zones.(1)Who are the target readers of this passage? ....(2)What is the main idea of this passage? study on children39。s screen time is published. US children fail to meet movement guidelines. are concerned about children39。s cognition. on children39。s screen time is linked to better cognition.(3)According to the passage, which of the following might contribute least to cognition? screen time limit. hours. physical activity time. hours and the screen time limit.(4)Why does the American organization suggest creating techfree zones? make sure children have enough physical playtime. make sure children have enough sleep time. make sure children have recreational time. protect children against radiation.【答案】 (1)C(2)D(3)C(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,建議父母們要把孩子的屏幕消遣時間限制在2小時之內、保證孩子有足夠的睡眠和鍛煉,因為這樣做可以讓孩子有更好的認知能力。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據第一段中的“Limiting kids39。 recreational(消遣的) screen time to less than two hours a day, along with enough sleep and physical activity, is associated with improved cognition(認知), according to a study published in The
