n be warm when we need them to be. Many models feature smartphone apps that allow you to control temperature remotely, so we can warm up the house before we arrive home. According to , Tado39。s model features voice control, while the Nest 39。leans39。 your habits and automatically heats the home for you. Clothes have been given an upgrade, too. Electronic thermal jackets, sweaters and coats heat up when you turn them on. What better way to keep warm in the dead of winter? At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside. Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours. . Finally, there is the clothing for the head, beanie s and Earmuff, that feature speakers included in the fabric using Bluetooth technology so we can listen to our favourite music or, in some cases, have a phone callusing the inbuilt microphone. All while keeping the head warm and avoiding a cold. For many, the thought of winter used to be enough to make their blood run cold. But using technology, life needn39。t freeze up.

You had to bundle up just to keep warm when you went outside. 可知,在我的記憶中,冬天總是很不令人愉快。你外出時(shí)必須穿得暖和一點(diǎn)。所以通過 keep warm可知,外出時(shí)要想暖和一些,就要多穿衣服。故判斷出第1段中帶下劃線的單詞bundle up是多穿點(diǎn)衣服。故選D。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的 At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside. 可知,只要按下按鈕,或者通過手機(jī)上 應(yīng)用程序,安裝在衣服內(nèi)部的電子元件就會產(chǎn)生熱量。所以電子保暖服裝工作的原理是安裝在衣服內(nèi)部的電子元件產(chǎn)生熱量。故選A。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的Fortunately, things don39。t have to be so challenging any more. Technology, engine ring and design have advanced giving us new solutions to old problems可知,幸運(yùn)的是,事情不需要再這么有挑戰(zhàn)性了。先進(jìn)的技術(shù)、引擎環(huán)和設(shè)計(jì)為我們提供了解決老問題的新方法。所以C選項(xiàng)科技無法讓冬天變得不那么難熬不符合短文說明的內(nèi)容。故選C。 (4)考查主旨大意。通讀全文可知,在科技并不發(fā)達(dá)的過去,人們可能會為如何在嚴(yán)寒天氣里更好地保暖而倍感困擾?,F(xiàn)如今,每到嚴(yán)冬時(shí)節(jié),雖然溫度驟降、天氣惡劣,但隨著各類智能保暖產(chǎn)品的問世,冬天也能變得舒適宜人。人們憑借科學(xué)技術(shù)發(fā)明了各式各樣的防寒方法。比如,用智能電子設(shè)備調(diào)節(jié)屋內(nèi)和衣物的溫度;使用無線科技制造會自動發(fā)熱的服飾。所以短文的最佳標(biāo)題為讓現(xiàn)代科技溫暖你的冬日。故B選項(xiàng)讓現(xiàn)代科技溫暖你的冬日符合題意。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇科普類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)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 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.
