詞義猜測和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇科技類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。4.閱讀理解 It is the ideal way for traveler to ensure they wake up with the perfect view — a portable Ecocapsule that can be set up anywhere in the world. The eggshaped pod (獨(dú)立艙) ensures travelers can camp in the most extreme corners with all the luxury of a hotel room. Looking like something in a scifi movie, the pod is equipped with solar panels, which guarantee solar energy as its power. In this way the tiny home can let you live fortably wherever you travel. It even has its own shower and toilet, sleeping area for two, and a small kitchen. The 3,306 ib pods can be transported in a seacontainer, meaning the possibilities are endless. Bratislavabased Nice Architects are behind the extraordinary Ecocapsules and said they initially designed them for people who stay in the nature for a long time. However, it quickly became apparent that they could be opened up to the wider public and even used in urban areas to fight against high rent and placed on roofs for studio space or living quarters. The Ecocapsule can serve as a cottage, a popup hotel or even as a charging station for electric cars.The Ecocapsules could even be quickly imported for housing for emergency teams who have been quickly arranged to help with natural disasters. Described by the website as a Swiss Army knife — it packs everything you need, the selfcontained unit can sustain long periods of time without external resources. The 86 sqft pods are able to sleep two people for up to year and for those worried about a cold night39。s sleep, the Ecocapsule has a thick layer which significantly reduce heat loss. The pod is designed to cope with extreme weather conditions due to its innovative (創(chuàng)新的) design and materials used. No wonder the Nice Architects are so confident about its future and the producers are receiving heavy orders.(1)Where does the Ecocapsule get power? A.From a charging station.B.From a portable battery.C.From solar panels.D.From electric cars.(2)Whom may be the Ecocapsule initially designed for?

Is it possible that, along with these differences, my moral pass (指南針) also points in somewhat different directions depending on the language I39。m using at the time? Psychologists who study moral judgments have bee very interested in this question. The findings of several recent studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas (困境), they do indeed respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue. In a 2014 paper led by Albert Costa volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the trolley problem: imagine that a runaway trolley is moving quickly toward a group of five people standing on the tracks, unable to move. You are next to a switch that can move the trolley to a different set of tracks, therefore sparing the five people, but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks. Do you pull the switch? Most people agree that they would. But what if the only way to stop the trolley is by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path? People tend to be very hesitant to say they would do this, even though in both situations, one person is sacrificed to save five. But Costa and his colleagues found that presenting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person
