【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 smears the windows. Car drivers, especially, are mixed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. The typical twentiethcentury traveler is the man who always says I39。ve been there. You mention the remotest, and someone is bound to say I39。ve been theremeaning, I drove through it at100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else. When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.（1）Anthropologists label man nowadays Legless Man because _____. A.people prefer cars, buses and trainsB.people use their legs less and lessC.lifts prevent people from walkingD.people travel without using legs（2）According to the passage, what might make people lose the right of using their eyes? A.the modern means of transportation.B.A bird39。seye view of the world.C.The unclear sight from the vehicles.D.The fastpaced life style.（3）From the passage, we know traveling at high speeds means _______. A.appreciating beautiful sceneryB.experiencing life skillsC.focusing on the next destinationD.feeling physical tiredness（4）What does the author intend to tell us? A.Modern transportation devices have replaced legs.B.Traveling makes the world a small place.C.Human39。s history develops very fast.D.The best way to travel is on foot.【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，由于種種現(xiàn)代化交通設(shè)施，人們不需用腳走路，甚至也不需要用眼看風(fēng)景，出門就坐汽車、公交車、地鐵、飛機…… 汽車、飛機速度飛快，外邊的景物難以看清，最終導(dǎo)致人們忘記用腳、用眼，成為“無腳之人”，一切都經(jīng)歷不到。作者建議最佳的旅游方法是徒步——經(jīng)歷現(xiàn)實。（1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“When the time es for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label‘Legless Man’. Histories of the time will go something like this:in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn39。t use their legs even when they went on holiday.可知，人類學(xué)家給人類貼上了“無腿人”的標(biāo)簽，因為人們使用腿越來越少了。故選B。（2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“The future history books might also record that we were deprived (剝奪) of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird39。seye view of the world.” 可知，根據(jù)這篇文章，快節(jié)奏的生活方式會讓人們失去使用眼睛的權(quán)利。故選D。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place.”可知，我們知道高速旅行意味著關(guān)注下一個目的地。故選C。（4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.”可知，旅行的最好方法是步行。故選D。【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷題型的考查，是一篇生活類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 While your pet fish may appear to be unaware of your presence, chances are that it knows you extremely well and can probably even identify you from a crowd of human faces! To test if this was accurate, some scientists decided to study archerfish（噴水魚）. These animals don39。t have a sophisticated（復(fù)雜的）brain that is necessary to recognize the slight differences between human facial features. They began by presenting four archerfish with images of two human faces. Initially, the fish spit at both. However, they soon learned spitting water at the one selected by the researchers earned them a food treat. After that, they focused primarily on that image. The researchers then took the experiment one step further by introducing 44 other human faces to the mix. To the researcher39。s astonishment, the trained archerfish were able to recall the learned image almost 81% of the time. And this accuracy improved to 86% when the researchers made the identification even harder, by replacing the colored photos with a set of black and white images and hiding the shape of the head. The results of the study suggest that though having tiny brains, archerfish may have developed high visual discrimination abilities. While it is contrary to the previous theory that a sophisticated brain is necessary to recognize human faces, the researchers believe they do not recognize faces by recalling plex facial information like gender and identity, but more likely by discriminating between detailed patterns. Even so, the fact that these archerfish could “remember” those faces demonstrates that they have an impressive memory for details that lasts much longer than the originallythought 3 seconds! This is not the first time researchers have realized how “smart” fish are. Previous studies have shown that fish can recognize those fish they have “socialized” with previously, and even recall plex threedimensional maps of their surroundings.（1）What is the purpose of the study? A.To describe archerfish are easy to teach.B.To tell people archerfish like to be rewarded.C.To prove archerfish can recognize human faces.16
