【正文】 le, we saved an ancient puter from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字). Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life. However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy(遺產(chǎn))of other humans. Without that link, the survival of objects and raw data doesn39。t guarantee the survival of knowledge. And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier. Knowledge is closely connected with language. When a language dies out, we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain. If that39。s lost, then it can39。t be recovered. All this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone. It is better to concentrate on not dying out in the first place.（1）How many opinions are mentioned in ? A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.（2）What does the underlined phrase similar things in Para 3 probably refer to? A.Making lost wisdom alive again.B.Rescuing disappearing knowledge.C.Preserving future knowledge.D.Gaining new knowledge.（3）How can we make knowledge survive? A.We know a lot about human beings.B.We learn ways to draw conclusions.C.We have a certain cultural continuity.D.We protect the legacy of other humans.（4）What39。s mainly talked about in the text? A.Can human beings live on?B.Will our knowledge survive us?C.What will the earth be like in the future?D.How can we protect our culture?【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文講述的是，我們的智慧將會幸存嗎？(1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn39。t quite dead but dormant(休眠), ready to bee alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or e to visit Earth in the distant ，在第二段中提出了兩種建議，故答案為B(2)詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中第二、三句For example, we saved an ancient puter from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字). Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to ，細(xì)心的工作可以將以前失去的智慧帶回生活。由此推知，上句At first sight, that seems to be reasonable: after all, we have done similar things with past ，讓失去的智慧活躍起來。故選A。(3)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy(遺產(chǎn))of other ，我們有一定的文化延續(xù)性能使知識幸存。故選C。(4)主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段The year 3700, Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home. On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memoryif there is anything left to remember the wise man. But what about our wisdomwill any of it survive us?可知，本文講述的是，我們的智慧將會幸存嗎？根據(jù)句意可知答案為B【點評】考查閱讀理解，涉及推理判斷、猜測詞義、細(xì)節(jié)理解、主旨大意題。閱讀時要注意作者說明事物采用的是什么方式。例如：舉例、分類還是對比。無論采用什么方法，作者都是為了說明事物的本質(zhì)特征，清晰地展現(xiàn)說明的事物。理清了脈絡(luò)，就能理解文章，抓住原文中的信息點，并且和選項進(jìn)行同意轉(zhuǎn)換。7．閱讀短文，從短文后每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 Over the years, cheerleading has taken two primary forms: gametime cheerleading and petitive cheerleading. Gametime cheerleaders39。 main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. However, petitive cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment. It is really a petitive sport. Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻騰) ability. It39。s a very mon thing for gymnasts, so it39。s easy for them to go into petitive cheerleading. Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform lifts and throws. This is where the fliers are thrown in the air, held by bases in different positions that require strength and working with other teammates. Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique, creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better the score is. That39。s why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance. Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be pleted in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid. Another reason for the fact that petitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, petitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders don39。t use protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck. There can be no doubt that petitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports. It should
