of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope they39。ll go away, but I eventually went to the doctor.”可知,作者從小就被灌輸這樣的思維,處理疼痛的更好辦法就是不做任何事情,希望疼痛自行消失,但是卻最終不得不去看醫(yī)生,故可知,作者看醫(yī)生都是迫不得已,故選D。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“It trains you to use your body less severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort.”可知,亞歷山大技巧讓你更合理使用身體,用最小的努力來做那些習慣性的動作,故可知,該技巧的原則就是用最小的力來做習慣性的動作,故選D。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (聲音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results.”可知,弗雷德里克亞歷山大,一個出身于186年的澳大利亞演員,在年輕的時候聲音出了問題。他做了分析,意識到自己的姿勢不正確,因此致力于改善姿勢,結(jié)果很好,故可知,他通過矯正姿勢,解決了自己的聲音問題,故選A。 (4)考查主旨大意。本文介紹亞歷山大技巧的對于矯正身體的作用以及其發(fā)明者,故可知在介紹亞歷山大技巧的作用,故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個題型的考查,是一篇科普類閱讀,要求考生根據(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。4.犇犇閱讀理解 Wolves strike fear into the hearts of many species, humans included. Our fear of them has brought them to the edge of dying out, as we have cruelly killed them as petitors and troublemakers. But researchers are discovering that the very fear they put into prey(被捕食者)species is exactly what helps make ecosystems(生態(tài))healthy. Yellowstone National Park is a typical example of just how wolves can help repair an ecosystem. An October 2018 study analyzed 40 years of research on large animals inside the park. Yellowstone has benefited from the reintroduction of wolves in ways that we did not anticipate, especially the plexity of biological interactions(互動) in the park, explained Mark Boyce, a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. We were really surprised at that and we39。d never have seen these responses if the park hadn39。t adopted ecologicalprocess management—allowing natural ecological processes to take place with least human intervention. After the wolves were reintroduced at Yellowstone, willow and cottonwood trees increased in number. The population of bears and bison also rose and what was once a ruling deerwolf interaction is now more diverse. To learn more about just how wolves are beneficial, a short documentary from Quest explains how the presence of wolves influences the behavior of deer, which eventually makes entire ecosystems more biologically diverse and healthy. In this documentary, biologist Aaron Wirsing explored why wolves and other top predators (捕食者)were needed for diverse ecosystems to develop. Using a simple video camera, Wirsing is gaining a unique view point on predatorprey relationships and changing the way we think about wolves. The research is one more piece of evidence for why protecting these top predators is important not just for wolves as a species, but for hundreds of species at every level of an ecosystem. The fear they bring along may be the very angle that helps save them from dying out.(1)What does the underlined word anticipate in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Expect.B.Understand.C.Notice.D.Accept.(2)For what purpose was a documentary made? A.To introduce how wolves behave in the wild.B.To show how wolves benefit from ecosystems.C.To record how Aaron Wirsing observed wolves.D.To study what good wolves can do to ecosystems.(3)What is the significance of the research? A.It proves wolves feed on hundreds of species.B.It helps prove the importance of protecting wolves.C.It shows the plex relationships between species.D.It provides evidence that wolves are endangered animals.(4)What is the main idea of the passage? A.The fear of wolves is beneficial to ecosystems.B.The fear of wolves put them in danger of disappearing.C.Yellowstone National Park owes its healthy ecosystems to wolves.D.The introduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park is a success.【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)B(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,研究表明人類以及其他動物對狼的恐懼對維持健康、平衡的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)是有益的,其中黃石公園灰狼的引進就是一個典型的例子。 (1)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的We were really surprised at that可知,黃石公園在意想不到的方面從重新引入狼中獲益。故選A。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“To learn more about just how wolves are beneficial, a short documentary from Quest explains how the presence of wolves influences the behavior of deer, which eventually makes entire ecosystems more biologically diverse and healthy.”可知,拍攝紀錄片的目的是了解狼是如何對生態(tài)有益的。故選D。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The research is one more piece of evidence for why protecting these top predators is important not just for wolves as a species, but for hundreds of species at every level of an ecosystem.”可知,這項研究再次證明了為什么保護這些食肉動物不僅對狼這個物種很重要,而且對生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的各個層面的物種都很重要。故這項研究的意義在于它有助于證明保護狼的重要性。故選B。 (4)考查主旨大意。本文主要講述了人類以及其他動物對狼的恐懼對維持健康、平衡的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)是有益的,因為食草動物不會過度繁殖,從而保護了植物的生長。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,詞義猜測和主旨大意三個題型的考查,是一篇科研類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(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.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(yīng)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
