【正文】 ready, perhaps, to learn maths. Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a milliondollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? Most of us believe that the universe makes sense, Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox (悖論) is open for future physicists to solve.高三英語閱讀理解(教育文化)技巧 閱讀訓練策略及練習題(含答案)及解析一、高中英語閱讀理解教育文化類1．閱讀理解 Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to build a bridge with things you know about, and then bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics. When asked how physics could bee more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren39。 When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. The basic stuff is important, Greene said. But I think it39。 Greene has followed Albert Einstein39。s about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena (現(xiàn)象)—and having fun!（1）A milliondollar question is probably very . （2）The books by Weinberg and Susskind . boring to read mainly about maths popular science books only popular among kids（3）According to Paragraph 4,which of the following does Greene agree with? physics is a boring subject. plays an important role in studying. is not necessary to learn all about physics. is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang.（4）In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that . can love science and physics can do well in physics exams can have fun with experiments can find more strange things in life【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，物理和數(shù)學教授Brian Greene希望更多的孩子可以對現(xiàn)代物理學感興趣。根據(jù)第二段Greene對這個問題的解釋以及他說需要未來的物理學家去解決可知,作者提出的這個問題非常難。 （2）考查推理判斷。t yet ready, perhaps, to learn maths39。故選C。根據(jù)第四段可知,當作者指出一些學生覺得物理無聊時,Greene說重要的是向孩子們講述一些稀奇古怪的事,并描述一些諸如黑洞和宇宙大爆炸的現(xiàn)代物理現(xiàn)象,如果孩子們知道了這些,他們中的一些就愿意了解所有詳細的內(nèi)容。故選B。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Greene has followed Albert Einstein39。故選A。2．閱讀理解 Talk it out Let music calm your mind Take a walk Have a life beyond the workplaceknow what causes stress firstswim a lot when we are freeC.pay more attention to work（2）To relieve work stress, you39。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。故選A。根據(jù)第二段中的”Talking to others helps relieve work stress especially when you and the person you talk to are in the same boat and under the same work stress.“可知，與別人交談可以緩解工作壓力，尤其是和自己有相同遭遇或者相同壓力的人。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。故選D。根據(jù)第四段 中的”故選B。結合文章所給的幾個緩解工作壓力的方法和第一段的”Working with a stressed mind is like swimming with a jacket on, while a mind free from work stress is light like the wind and it can help you acplish your daily tasks easily.“可推測本文的作者可能是處理工作壓力方面的專家。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。 When someone is rude to you, it can put you in a bad mood. It may even lead you to be rude to someone else, creating a chain of rudeness. In fact, this troubling chain may even be caused by simply seeing someone be rude to another person. You don39。 The researchers worked with 81 persons, with occupations ranging from security to business to medicine, who were asked to plete online surveys over a 10day period. Participants recorded their moods when they woke up。 Each morning the participants also viewed a short video, describing workplace interaction of some kind. Half of the mornings, the video included some kind of rudeness while the other half had some kind of warm interaction in the workplace. Rudeness was conveyed through various means, including a lack of eye contact or unpleasant language. Not all participants were affected by the rudeness videos, however. A few weeks before the study began, the participants pleted an evaluation that measured their selfconfidence and emotional stability among other things. The participants who scored higher on this evaluation were significantly less likely to be influenced by the rudeness.The popularity of rudeness.A regular cause of rudeness.C.D.To make them spread rudeness.B.To expose them to various aspects of rudeness.D.Being unwilling to work.Poor ability to do their work.C.Less interaction with others.（4）Who may not be affected by the rudeness videos? positive and kind to themselves. keeping calm in stressful situations. owning confidence in others39。 （1）考查推理判斷。t even have to be the target of the bad behavior”你甚至不必成為不良行為的目標，可知，第一段前半部分在描述了這種無禮行為的“傳染性”之后，是在引出一項關于這種行為的新發(fā)現(xiàn)。 （2）考查推理判斷?？芍?，讓參與者觀看視頻是為了讓他們受到更多的影響而研究他們的情緒變化。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。他們報告說，他們的整體工作因此受到影響。故選D。根據(jù)第五段中的“A few weeks before the study began, the participants pleted an evaluation that measured their selfconfidence and emotional stability among other things.
