Yet health officials say ecigarette users have reported shortness of breath and other breathing problems, such as coughing and chest pain. Some have been sick to the stomach, felt very tired, suffered weight loss or developed high body temperatures. One report noted that most of the 53 illnesses reported in Illinois and Wisconsin were related to THC vaping(氣化) products. But nearly 20 percent of the patients inhaled(吸入)substances like nicotine from ecigarettes. Most of the reported cases were of young men. On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA gave a warning to JUUL Labs, maker of the bestselling ecigarettes. The FDA accused the pany of illegally marketing its products as being safer than cigarettes without the agency39。s acting missioner said that, JUUL has ignored the law, and has made some of these statements in school to our nation39。s ments and will fully cooperate.（1）Which of the following can best describe ecigarettes? ....（2）What change will be caused when smokers inhale ecigarettes containing THC? will be healthier. will lose weight. will feel excited. will be peaceful.（3）What information about JUUL Labs can we get from the last paragraph? became its main marketing targets. didn39。并介紹電子煙是怎樣危害人們健康的。根據(jù)第一段中的“United States health officials are urging people to stop using electronic cigarettes, known as ecigarettes. The call to action came after such products were linked to health problems. Five deaths have also been reported.” 美國(guó)衛(wèi)生官員敦促人們停止使用電子煙。另外報(bào)道有五人死亡。 （2）考查推理判斷。THC是存在于大麻植物中的自然化學(xué)物質(zhì)，給予使用者一種“high”的心理狀態(tài)。 （3）考查推理判斷。s approval. ”周一，美國(guó)食品和藥物管理局(FDA)向暢銷(xiāo)電子煙的制造商JUUL Labs發(fā)出了警告。由此可知FDA不同意其銷(xiāo)售此產(chǎn)品，故選B。本文主要講述美國(guó)衛(wèi)生官員敦促人們停止使用電子煙，電子煙同人們的健康問(wèn)題有關(guān)并介紹電子煙是怎樣危害人們健康的。D選項(xiàng)Ecigarettes—a potential killer“電子煙—一個(gè)潛在的殺手”，符合本文中心思想，故選D。4．閱讀下列短文，從短文后每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超導(dǎo)體技術(shù)). The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水銀) to temperatures below 269℃ with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at 243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助產(chǎn)士) to a new technology.（1）As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity ____________. A.B.will be used only in specialized equipmentwill be used in daily lives in a few years（2）The new technology differs from the others in that ____________. A.B.it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldit is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich（3）From the passage, we may conclude that ____________. A.B.IBM scientists39。D.The Prospect of a New TechnologyB.A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesA New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了超導(dǎo)體技術(shù)的發(fā)展?jié)撃芎桶l(fā)展?fàn)顩r。根據(jù)第一段中的“ A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. ”一項(xiàng)新技術(shù)即將成熟，它可以改變我們的日常生活，幫助形成新的產(chǎn)業(yè)，甚至將世界經(jīng)濟(jì)強(qiáng)國(guó)從其目前的地位上移除；以及第三段中的“The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money”技術(shù)還處于早期階段，那些決定投資于人才和資金的國(guó)家仍然可以獲得這項(xiàng)技術(shù)，可知選B。根據(jù)第一段中的“Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront.”與開(kāi)始于西方，后來(lái)傳播到世界其他地區(qū)工業(yè)化的浪潮不同，全球各地的研究實(shí)驗(yàn)室都在進(jìn)行新的研究——亞洲人走在最前線(xiàn)。（3）考查推理判斷。（4）考查主旨大意。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科普類(lèi)閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。 Recent summer temperatures in parts of Australia were high enough to melt asphalt. As global warming speeds up the heat and climatic events increase, many plants may be unable to cope. But at least one species of eucalyptus tree can resist extreme heat by continuing to “sweat” when other essential processes stop, a new study finds. conditions in their natural environment, little is known about how
