【文章內容簡介】
…再一次說明了蝙蝠與鳥運動方式的不同。綜上所述,可知,蝙蝠與鳥運動方式的不同是本文的主題。故選D。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的 In the past it was believed that, in terms of flying mechanics, there was little difference between bats and birds. This belief was based only on assumption, however, because for years nobody had actually studied in detail how bats move their wings…This makes coordinating (協(xié)調) their limbs more difficult for bats and, as a result, they are not very good at flying over longer distances.可推斷出,過去人們認為蝙蝠與鳥在飛行運動方式與鳥沒有區(qū)別,最近的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),這是不正確的,故也是要糾正的,故選C。 (3)考查代詞指代。劃線部分的上下文說蝙蝠在自我調節(jié)的能力上要好得多:蝙蝠可以迅速改變飛行方向,或者完全與它(正飛行方向)相反的方向飛行,這是鳥不容易做到的。由此可知,此處的it指的是飛行的方向。故選C。 (4)考查推斷判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats landupside down! Unlike birds which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. One downside to this landing routine is that the bats often land with some force, which probably causes pain.可知,蝙蝠飛行的另一個有趣特征是蝙蝠倒立著降落的方式!不同于那些降落在地上或樹枝上的鳥,觀察到蝙蝠可以四處飛行,然后突然倒掛在頭頂?shù)奈矬w上。這種降落方式的一個缺點是蝙蝠經(jīng)常用力降落,這可能會導致疼痛。因此蝙蝠與鳥不同,蝙蝠可以倒掛著。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷,代詞指代和主旨大意三個題型的考查,是一篇科研類閱讀,要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。4.閱讀理解 A new study suggests a link between exposure to greenery and reduced desires for alcohol cigarette and junk food. The study is the first to investigate the possible relationships between exposure to nature and desires and negative emotions. Researchers at the University of Plymouth39。s School of Psychology surveyed 149 respondents (應答者) aged 21 o 65 about the proportion( 比例 )of green space in their neighborhood, the presence of green views from their home, their access to a garden and how often they use public green space. The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety, as well as desires for things like caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. Participants rated the intensity( 強度), imagery, and intrusiveness(侵擾性) of their desires on an 11point scale. Researchers found the presence of visible green space contributed to decreased desires for junk food. The effect was particularly noticeable when more than 25 percent of a respondent39。s view was greenery. Previous scholarship(學術研究) has dealt mostly with exercise in nature: A 2015 study out of the University of Michigan found 90 minute group nature walks were effective at batting depression and relieving other mood disorders. But for people who struggle with accessibility or don39。t have time for a 90minute walk, this new study suggests just looking out a window at a tree can help fight off a bad habit. It has been known for some time that being outdoors in nature is linked to a person39。s wellbeing, lead author Leanne Martin said in a statement. But for there to be a similar association with desires from simply being able to see green space adds a new dimension to the previous research. A 2018 study from Denmark39。s Aarhus University for example, found that. Having access to green space throughout childhood decreased a person39。s risk of developing mental health problems as an adult.(1)What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? results of the new study. purpose of the new study. significance of the new study. content of the new study.(2)What does the underlined word batting in paragraph 4 probably mean? ...(3)According to the passage, the new study _____. referred to exercise in nature enriched the previous research to some degree carried out by the University of Michigan exposure to greenery helped cure mental problems(4)n which section of a newspaper may this passage appear? World amp。Science【答案】 (1)D(2)A(3)B(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了一項新的研究成果多看綠色植物和吃垃圾食品這兩者看似風馬牛不相及,可研究結構卻表明它們之間存在著一種奇妙的關系:多看綠色植物能幫助人們克制吃垃圾食品的欲望。 (1)考查段落大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“Researchers …surveyed 149 respondents aged 21 o 65 about the proportion of green space in their neighborhood…”研究人員調查了年齡在21~65歲之間的149名參與者小區(qū)內的綠植比例……;以及“The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety…”研究中還問了與抑郁及焦慮有關的問題……等可知,第二段主要介紹了新研究的調查內容,故選D。 (2)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)常識可知,在大自然中散步對人體有各種各樣的好處,再結合句中出現(xiàn)的“relieving other mood disorders(緩解其他情緒紊亂)”不難推斷出, batting depression應表示“減輕抑郁”。故選A。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“…adds a new dimension(方面) to the previous research”為以前的研究增加了新的方面,可知,新的研究在某種程度上豐富了之前的研究成果。故選B。 (4)考查推理判斷??v觀全文可知,本文介紹了一項科學研究的研究成果,所以該文章最有可能出現(xiàn)在“技術與科學”版塊。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,詞義猜測,推理判斷和段落大意四個題型的考查,是一篇科研類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上,進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 It is the ideal way for traveler to ensure they wake up with the perfect view — a portable Ecocapsule that can be set up anywhere in the world. The eggshaped pod (獨立艙) ensures travelers can camp in the most extreme corners with all the luxury of a hotel room. Looking like something in a scifi movie, the pod is equipped with solar panels, which guarantee solar energy as its power. In this way the tiny home can let you live fortably wherever you travel. It even has its own shower and toilet, sleeping area for two, and a small kitchen. The 3,306 ib pods can be transported in a seacontainer, meaning the possibilities are endless. Bratislavabased Nice Architects are behind the extraordinary Ecocapsules and said they initially designed them for people who stay in the nature for a long time. However, it quickly became apparent that they could be opened up to the wider public and even used in urban areas to fight against high rent and placed on roofs for studio space or living quarters. The Ecocapsule can serve as a cottage, a popup hotel or even as a charging station for electric cars.The Ecocapsules could even be quickly imported for housing for emergency teams who have been quickly arranged to help with natural disasters. Described by the website as a Swiss Army knife — it packs everything you need, the selfcontained unit can sustain long periods of time without external resources. The 86 sqft pods are able to sleep two people for up to year and for those worried about a cold night39。s sleep, the Ecocapsule has a thick layer which significantly reduce heat loss. The pod is designed to cope with extreme weather conditions due to its innovative (創(chuàng)新的) design and materials used. No wonder the Nice Architects are so confident about its future and the producers are receiving heavy orders.(1)Where does the Ecoca
