【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 2）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的Because we most easily memorize whatever we can say or read within a twosecond period. And unlike English, the Chinese language allows them to fit all those seven numbers into two seconds.（因為我們最容易記住我們在一兩秒鐘內(nèi)能說或讀的東西。與英語不同，漢語允許他們把這七個數(shù)字放在兩秒鐘之內(nèi)）可推知，比起美國人，中國人的母語讓中國人更容易記住一列數(shù)字。故選B。（3）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中對亞洲孩子與美國孩子在基本數(shù)學運算方面的對比可知，亞洲兒童可以更快地在基本數(shù)學運算中找到答案，是因為他們不必先把語言翻譯成數(shù)字。故選C。4．閱讀理解 The year 3700, Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home. On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memoryif there is anything left to remember the wise man. But what about our wisdomwill any of it survive us? The conventional answer is no. Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn39。t quite dead but dormant(休眠), ready to bee alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or e to visit Earth in the distant future. At first sight, that seems to be reasonable: after all, we have done similar things with past knowledge. For example, we saved an ancient puter from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字). Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life. However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy(遺產(chǎn))of other humans. Without that link, the survival of objects and raw data doesn39。t guarantee the survival of knowledge. And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier. Knowledge is closely connected with language. When a language dies out, we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain. If that39。s lost, then it can39。t be recovered. All this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone. It is better to concentrate on not dying out in the first place.（1）How many opinions are mentioned in ?

But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn39。t quite dead but dormant(休眠), ready to bee alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or e to visit Earth in the distant ，在第二段中提出了兩種建議，故答案為B(2)詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中第二、三句For example, we saved an ancient puter from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字). Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to ，細心的工作可以將以前失去的智慧帶回生活。由此推知，上句At first sight, that seems to be reasonable: after all, we have done similar things with past ，讓失去的智慧活躍起來。故選A。(3)細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy(遺產(chǎn))of other ，我們有一定的文化延續(xù)性能使知識幸存。故選C。(4)主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段The year 3700, Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home. On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memoryif there is anything left to remember the wise man. But what about our wisdomwill any of it survive us?可知，本文講述的是，我們的智慧將會幸存嗎？根據(jù)句意可知答案為B【點評】考查閱讀理解，涉及推理判斷、猜測詞義、細節(jié)理解、主旨大意題。閱讀時要注意作者說明事物采用的是什么方式。例如：舉例、分類還是對比。無論采用什么方法，作者都是為了說明事物的本質(zhì)特征，清晰地展現(xiàn)說明的事物。理清了脈絡，就能理解文章，抓住原文中的信息點，并且和選項進行同意轉換。5．閱讀理解 Music is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere. Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers(揚聲器)and play the music loudly as they drive on the street. Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. But most of the radio broadcast is music. Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes es to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has bee a national star. Besides pop music, there are two other kinds of music that is important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the mon life of Americans. The other is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music. Serious m
