【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 was giving a presentation about my science, one of the audience surprised me with a question that didn39。t grow out of the information I39。d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the yes, and approach accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it.The benefits of improvisation go beyond munication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell one that isn39。t behaving as expected.I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it39。s worth finding out whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn39。t to challenge data that support a preconceived (預(yù)想的) story, but to say yes, and. did the author attend the improvisation class?A. To get a different experience.B. To finish her PhD.C. To give up her job as a science municator.D. To improve her speaking and municating ability.【答案】D 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的As a quiet and shy girl, I feared to improvise.......learn how to speak and municate with others effectively可知,作者參加即興表演課是為了提高她開(kāi)口說(shuō)話和溝通的能力。注意:D項(xiàng)為原文內(nèi)容的同義轉(zhuǎn)述,為正確選項(xiàng)。25. What was the author39。s change after attending the improvisation class?A. She formed her own idea quickly.B. She came up with lots of creative responses.C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers.D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion.【答案】D 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的”I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and municating clearly可知,作者變得更善于傾聽(tīng)、理解談話伙伴,并且能夠清晰地溝通。由此可知,作者參加了即興表演課之后,學(xué)會(huì)了在發(fā)表意見(jiàn)之前先成為一個(gè)好的傾聽(tīng)者。26. The author mentioned applying the yes, and approach to her scientific experiments toA. explain the process of using the methodB. prove the benefits of the improvisation classC. share her own research experiences with readersD. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class【答案】B 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的Before attending the class...keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell可知,在參加這門(mén)課之前,當(dāng)實(shí)驗(yàn)出現(xiàn)了意想不到的數(shù)據(jù)時(shí),作者會(huì)認(rèn)為自己犯了錯(cuò)誤。但現(xiàn)在,作者會(huì)繼續(xù)探索數(shù)據(jù),最終確定一種新的細(xì)胞類(lèi)型。由此可推知,作者提到在她的科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)中運(yùn)用”yes, and”的方法,是為了證明即興表演課的好處。27. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph?A. They should attend the improvisation class.B. They should question all preconceived ideas.C. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.D. They should try to improve their professional knowledge.【答案】C 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的As scientists, our job isn39。t to challenge data... but to say 39。yes, and39。”可知,作者認(rèn)為科學(xué)家所做的工作不是挑戰(zhàn)以前的數(shù)據(jù),而是運(yùn)用yes, and的方法,先承認(rèn)早期數(shù)據(jù),再繼續(xù)進(jìn)行研究。CThe annual award scheme run by the James Dyson Foundation announced the UK national winners of 2020 edition on Thursday. The Tyre Collective will receive amp。 2,000 in prize money to develop a tool that cuts down on pollution by capturing tyres39。 particles(微粒).Every time a vehicle moves, microplastic from tyres is released small enough to account for up to 50% of pollution from road transport and 10% of all by device invented by the team is fitted to the wheel and uses static electricity(靜電)to collect up to 60% of all particles, which, once captured, can be recycled for new tyres or used for other applications like 3D printing and soundproofing.Recent research from the Norwegian Institute for Air Research shows that, over 200,000tons of microplastic from tyres ends up in oceans and other remote areas of the world each year.Roads are a very significant source of microplastic to remote areas, including the oceans. lead researcher Andreas Stohl told The Guardian. According to DEFRA, tyrewear accounts for nearly 50 percent of global road transport particulate emissions(排放物)and it is the second largest microplastic pollutant in oceans (after singleuse plastic).The team is made up of students from the Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art. We are passionate about the environment and trying to make a meaningful impact on society, said one of the team members. And Siobhan Anderson, another team member, added, We39。re excited about having the backing of such a prestigious award and we39。re looking forward to continuing this journey and developing our innovation further.28. What can we know about the collected particles?A. They have been polluted.B. They are soundproof.C. They can be used again.D. They will be used to produce electricity.【答案】C 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段最后一句話”The device invented by the team is fitted to the wheel and uses static electricity(靜電) to collect up to 60% of all particles, which, once captured, can be recycled for new tyres or used for other applications like 3D printing and soundproofing可知,收集起來(lái)的塑料微?？捎糜谥圃煨螺喬?還可用于3D打印和隔音等其他應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域。由此可知,本題選C項(xiàng)。29. What makes up almost half of global road transport particulate emissions?A. Microplastic from tyres. B. Gases from factories in remote areas.C. Singleuse plastic particles D. Industrial emissions. 【答案】A【解析】 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段中的”According to DEFRA, tyrewear accounts for nearly 50 percent of global road transport particulate emissions(排放物)”可知,輪胎磨損產(chǎn)生的塑料微粒幾乎占全球公路交通產(chǎn)生的微粒排放物的一半,故本題選A項(xiàng)。30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The team members are from the same college.B. The team will keep working on the invention.C. The team won the most prestigious award.D. The team will sell their invention.【答案】B【解析】 推理判斷題。由最后一段中的”we39。re looking forward to continuing this journey and developing our innovation further可知,這個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)會(huì)針對(duì)其發(fā)明進(jìn)行進(jìn)一步的研發(fā),故本題選B項(xiàng)。 is the best title for the text?A. Tyre Production Is Responsible for Air PollutionB. Fewer Tyres39。 Particles, Better WorldC. Best Invention to Reduce Ocean PollutionD. Awardwinning Device Reduces Pollution from Tyres【答案】D【解析】 標(biāo)題歸納題
