might look exclusively (獨有的)red and orange, but there39。s still some green and even blue light hidden in there, just far less than the other colors. But for us to notice the remaining green light, it needs to hit something that reflects green light much better than red. That39。s where water es in. Big tall threatening storm clouds are made of water droplets, and even though water is best at reflecting blue light, it can still reflect green pretty well, much better than reds and oranges, so under just the right conditions, the water in and around a cloud can bounce the green light hidden in the sunset right into our eyes making the sky look green. Still, none of the conditions that can turn skies green are unique to the clouds that produce tornadoes. Sometimes they just lead to lots of rain, and maybe some hail. So if you see huge storm clouds rolling in and a green tint (色調(diào))in the sky, it doesn39。t necessarily mean there39。s about to be a tornado, but it does mean you should probably head indoors.(1)What can be the best title for the text?

Sometimes they just lead to lots of rain, and maybe some hail.”可知,本文主要話題是關(guān)注綠色的天空是否意味著即將來臨的龍卷風展開的,故選B。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Daytime skies are blue because blue shorter wavelengths of visible light tend to bounce off (反 射)air molecules better than red longer wavelength light.”可知,白天天空是藍色,因為藍色短的波長的可見光會反射空氣分子比紅色的長波長光。故選C。 (3)考查代詞指代。根據(jù)第二段中的“The sunset might look exclusively (獨有的)red and orange, but there39。s still some green and even blue light hidden in there, just far less than the other colors.”可知,選A。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“But for us to notice the remaining green light, it needs to hit something that reflects green light much better than red. That39。s where water es in.”可知,水既能反射藍光,也能反射紅光,故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,代詞指代,推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查,是一篇科普類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。5.犇犇閱讀理解 Kaitlin Woolley and Ayelet Fishbach report in Psychological Science that a meal taken familystyle from a central plate can greatly improve the oute of later negotiations. Having conducted previous research in 2017 revealing that eating similar foods led to people feeling emotionally closer to one another, Dr Woolley and Dr Fishbach wondered whether the way in which food was served also had a psychological effect. They theorized that, on the one hand, sharing food with other people might indicate food scarcity(短缺)and increase a feeling of petition. However, they also reasoned that it could instead lead people to bee more aware of others39。 needs and drive cooperative behavior as a result. Curious to find out, they did a series of experiments. For the first test they recruited 100 pairs of participants from a local cafe, none of whom knew each other. The participants were seated at a table and fed tortilla chips with salsa. Half the pairs were given their own basket of 20 grams of chips and a bowl of 25 grams of salsa, and half were given 40 grams of chips and 50 grams of salsa to share. As a cover for the experiment, all participants were told this snack was to be consumed before the game began. The game asked the participants to negotiate an hourly wage rate during a fictional strike. Each person was randomly assigned to represent the union or management and follow a set of rules. The researchers measured cooperation by noting the number of rounds it took to reach an agreement, and found that those who shared food resolved the strike significantly faster(in 8. 7rounds)than those who did not( rounds). A similar experiment was conducted with 104participants and Goldfish crackers(餅干), this time negotiating an airline39。s route prices. The results were much the same, with the foodsharers negotiating successfully 63. 3%of the time and those who did not share doing so 42. 9%of the time. (1)What does the familystyle meal in the report refer to? A.A meal taken at home.B.A meal shared with others.C.A meal consumed by oneself.D.A meal taken in a family atmosphere.(2)For what purpose did the researchers carry out the present experiments? A.To show the way food is served.B.To prove sharing food increases petition.C.To confirm sharing food can promote cooperation.D.To find out whether sharing food can get people close emotionally.(3)Why were participants asked to eat up the snack before the game? A.To add to their energy.160
