re described…”可知,文章提出的話題是閱讀小說;第二段中的“Short Edition… has set up more than 30 story dispensers in the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices.”可知,法國文學(xué)出版商Short Edition過去幾年在美國建立了30多個小說分發(fā)機,在餐廳,大學(xué)和政府辦公室只需按一下按鈕即可以閱讀小說。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查,是一篇科技類閱讀,考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。Imagine your clothing could release enough heat to keep you warm and cozy, allowing you to stay fortable in a cooler room. Or, picture a car windshield that stores the sun39。According to a team of researchers at MIT, both cases may be possible before long, thanks to a new material that can store solar energy during the day and release it later as heat. This transparent polymer film could be applied to many different surfaces, such as window glass or clothing. s energy through a chemical reaction and releasing it later as heat. Such chemicallybased storage materials, known as Solar Thermal Fuels(STF), have been developed before. But those earlier efforts were designed to be used in liquid solutions and not able to make durable (耐用的) solidstate films. The new approach is the first based on a solidstate material, in this case a polymer, and the first based on inexpensive materials and widespread production technology.(1)What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? show the main idea of the passage. practice readers39。 (1)考查推理判斷。s energy and then releases it as heat to make the ice on the windshield disappear. ”想象一下你的衣服可以釋放足夠的熱量讓你溫暖和舒適,讓你可以在冰冷的房間里保持舒適。故選C。根據(jù)第二段中的“thanks to a new material that can store solar energy during the day and release it later as heat. This transparent polymer film could be applied to many different surfaces, such as window glass or clothing. ”多虧了這種能在白天吸熱之后以熱能形式釋放的新型材料,這個透明的聚合物膜可以應(yīng)用于許多不同的表面,如窗戶玻璃或服裝)可知,這種聚合物膜可以吸熱,此后再以熱能的形式釋放出來。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。故選A。根據(jù)第四段中的“But heat will disappear over time no matter how good the material around it is, so the team set up a chemical storage system that can keep the energy in a stable molecular configuration. ”但是熱量會隨著時間的推移而消失,不管周圍的物質(zhì)有多好,所以研究小組建立了一個化學(xué)儲存系統(tǒng),可以將能量保持在一個穩(wěn)定的分子結(jié)構(gòu)中)可推斷,這種分子結(jié)構(gòu)的優(yōu)勢是相對穩(wěn)定。 【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,是一篇科普類閱讀,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。I39。t have a good track record when it es to making them grow. 39。ll know that it39。ll give you what you need most.39。 She walked me through the process of planting them. I thanked her — trying to show my gratitude for her gift. d planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there. Day after day I noted the flowers39。一位朋友送來了一盒郁金香球莖,這種花的種植,給作者帶來了希望。根據(jù)第一段中的“I39。t have a good track record when it es to making them grow.”我不是個好園丁,我喜歡漂亮的花,但我在種植方面沒有良好的記錄,可知,作者雖然喜歡花,但不擅長種花。 (2)考查推理判斷。d planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.”那是一個漫長的冬天——又冷又黑……枯葉、霜和最后那場雪覆蓋了我種那些花的地方,我很快救忘記了它們的存在,可知,冬天很冷、很長,故推測作者忘記它們是因為覺得它們熬不過這個冬天,即沒對它們抱有希望。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。 progress. And day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. ”我日復(fù)一日的關(guān)注這花的成長。故選A。根據(jù)第二段中的“She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would e out in the spring. 39。When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you39。s almost time for your son to e home. ”她說這些郁金香球莖秋天種下,整個冬天都在土里。當(dāng)你看到這些小花的葉子朝著太陽的方向生長時,你就知道你的兒子差不多該回家了,可知,本文主要講述了冬天種下的郁金香球莖在春天會長出來,這也意味著作者的兒子快要回來,即花代表著作者兒子回來的希望。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查,是一篇故事類閱讀,考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息,同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。 During this shopping season, salesmen will e up with different strategies to get your business. Many product panies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and pete for a sale. However, sight is not the only sensory (感官的) retail that panies use. Sounds and smells can also influence consumers39。 Nobel Prizewinning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response. A study published earlier this year pared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender (薰衣草) was given off and when it wasn39。 purchasing items and the amount of their purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of smell, many stores apply artificial scents (氣味) through their heating and airconditioning vents (通風(fēng)口) or place scent machines above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.s fastpaced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer39。 moods. One study found that when subjected to loud music, consumers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers39。 Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isn39。 experience. Online retailers (零售商) use a variety of other strategies to get your business, but you can always neglect those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.(1)The passage is mainly about ________. A. favorite sounds and smells while shoppingB. strategies for satisfying consumersC.two factors affecting consumers39。Decorating stores with flowers bees a fashion.B.Smells can actually help businessmen gain more profits.D.It controls consumers39。It influences how long consumers stay in a shop.C.Whether consumers are willing to buy things depends on it.(4)Which of the following can replace the underlined word “frenzied” in Paragraph 3? A.B.C.D.Online shopping is being more and more popular nowadays.B.People can choose to get rid of salesmen39。Smells and sounds are important for consumers39。這篇文章主要介紹了影響消費者購物決定的兩個因素。根據(jù)第一段中的Sounds and smells can also influence consumers39。故答案選D。根據(jù)第二段中的It found that the smell increased th
