very spring. That migratory behavior is acpanied by some human behavior. In Englishlanguage Wikipedia (維基百科), the online searches for migratory species tend to increase in spring when those birds arrive in the United States, said the lead author John Mittermeier. And not just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly billion Wikipedia search records, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search rates for insects, horsetails and flowering plants. Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in Wikipedia behavior for many species of plants and animals. This finding suggests new ways to monitor changes in the world39。s biological diversity. It also shows new ways to see how much people care about nature, and which species and areas might be the most effective targets for conservation. Mittermeier is encouraged by the search results. He mented, I think there39。s a concern among conservationists (生態(tài)環(huán)境保護(hù)者) that people are losing touch with the natural world and that they39。re not interacting with native species anymore. And so in that sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see people39。s Wikipedia interest closely related to changes in nature. Richard Grenyer, Associate Professor from the University of Oxford, says search data is useful to conservation biologists, By using these big data approaches, we can direct our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help.(1)What have researchers found about species searches? strengthen ties among people. affect the animal movements. differ in language backgrounds. reflect animal migration seasons.(2)What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 3? summarize the research process. further support the research findings. show the variety of species searches. present researchers39。 heavy work load.(3)How does Mittermeier feel about the search results? with Wikipedia39。s service. about Wikipedia behavior. at people39。s care about nature. about people39。s not getting close to nature.(4)Why does Richard think such search data is useful? helps to aim at conservation targets. increases interest in big data approaches. keeps track of trends in biologists39。 work. pushes people to solve difficult problems.【答案】 (1)D(2)B(3)C(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,牛津大學(xué)的一個(gè)國(guó)際研究小組發(fā)現(xiàn),人們使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的方式與自然界的季節(jié)性運(yùn)動(dòng)密切相關(guān)。他們的在線物種搜索遵循季節(jié)性動(dòng)物遷徙的模式。這一發(fā)現(xiàn)提出了監(jiān)測(cè)世界生物多樣性變化的新方法。它還展示了一種新的方式來(lái)了解人們有多關(guān)心自然,以及哪些物種和地區(qū)可能是最有效的保護(hù)目標(biāo)。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Their online species searches follow the patterns of seasonal animal migrations (遷徙).”可知關(guān)于物種搜索,研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)了他們遵循季節(jié)性動(dòng)物遷徙的模式。故選D。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in Wikipedia behavior for many species of plants and animals.”可知在維基百科上,許多動(dòng)植物的行為似乎都有季節(jié)性趨勢(shì)。即第三段的寫(xiě)作目的是為了進(jìn)一步支持研究結(jié)果。故選B。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see people39。s Wikipedia interest closely related to changes in nature”可知Mittermeier看到人們對(duì)維基百科的興趣是與大自然的變化密切相關(guān)的,感到非常興奮和意外。故選C。 (4)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“By using these big data approaches, we can direct our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help.”可知Richard認(rèn)為通過(guò)使用這些大數(shù)據(jù)方法,我們可以將我們的注意力轉(zhuǎn)向現(xiàn)代保護(hù)中的難題:哪些物種和地區(qū)正在發(fā)生變化,哪些人最關(guān)心這些問(wèn)題,哪些人能夠提供最多的幫助。即他認(rèn)為這些搜索數(shù)據(jù)可以有助于設(shè)定保護(hù)目標(biāo)。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇科研類(lèi)閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。5.犇犇閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 The clock always seems to be ticking rather too fast in the doctor39。s office and the queue of patients outside the door seems to be pressing rather too hard. Some say it39。s high time for the model of short, sharp onetoone appointments to give way to shared medical appointments (SMAs共享醫(yī)療預(yù)約). SMAs are doctorpatient visits in which a group of patients receive patient education and counseling (咨詢(xún)), physical examination and medical support in a group setting. Typically SMAs are designed to have one or more doctors attend to a group of patients who share a mon illness or medical condition. In contrast to onetoone visits, SMAS provide a longer appointment timeframe as well as the opportunity for patients to have improved access to their physicians and meanwhile pick up additional information and support from peers. However, doctors who have pioneered the shared appointment approach report that there are significant challenges involved. Dr. Sumego, director of shared medical appointments, Cleveland Clinic, identifies culture change as the most significant challenge. Physicians and nurses are trained in a model of personal service and privacy。 the SMA approach is a fundamental challenge to those fixed ideas. They need shared goals and a way of testing the innovation against agreed standards. Dr. Sumego says, The physicians may be worried about the possible chaos and efficiencies that are marketed. They also have to make the patients understand what their appointment is, and what the expectation is. So, if an organization was looking to start shared medical appointments, I would advise them to start the buyin from a few champion physicians, develop the workflow and develop some experience. Provide some support behind what that best practice should look like. Create some standards so that, as the concept spreads, you can employ that experience to start the next shared medical appointments and the next.(1)What is the purpose of the SMA approach?
