means dealing with winter needn39。t be like skating on thin ice. With a smart thermostat (溫度自動(dòng)調(diào)節(jié)器), our homes can 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(guò) 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(guò)手機(jī)上 應(yīng)用程序,安裝在衣服內(nèi)部的電子元件就會(huì)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(wèn)題的新方法。所以C選項(xiàng)科技無(wú)法讓冬天變得不那么難熬不符合短文說(shuō)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(guò)去,人們可能會(huì)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(lèi)智能保暖產(chǎn)品的問(wèn)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(wú)線科技制造會(huì)自動(dòng)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(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測(cè)和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇科普類(lèi)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.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(qiáng)度), imagery, and intrusiveness(侵?jǐn)_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(xué)術(shù)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 ma
