閱讀理解之推理判斷題
【考試方向】推理判斷題主要考查學(xué)生根據(jù)文章的字面意思,通過(guò)語(yǔ)篇邏輯關(guān)系,研究細(xì)節(jié)的暗示,推敲作者的態(tài)度,理解文章的寓意等。推理判斷題屬于主觀性較強(qiáng)的高層次閱讀理解題。做這類題時(shí),考生應(yīng)在理解全文的基礎(chǔ)上,從文章本身所提供的信息出發(fā),運(yùn)用邏輯思維,同時(shí)借助一定的常識(shí)進(jìn)行分析、推理、判斷。
提問(wèn)整篇文章或某句某段的含蓄意思時(shí),問(wèn)句中都含有infer, imply, indicate, suggest (推斷,暗指)等詞。對(duì)付這類題時(shí)我們不僅要弄懂文章字面的意思,更重要的是要知道文章潛在的含義,和作者所給的提示。同時(shí)要對(duì)文章的含義和作者的暗示作合理的猜測(cè)和推論。這種問(wèn)題的提問(wèn)方式通常有:
1.From paragraph 4 we can infer that. / What can be inferred from the passage? / From the last paragraph we can infer that .
2.We can infer from the text that…/ What can we learn from…? / We can conclude from the
passage that…
3.The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that.
4.The author implies that by the year 2080, .
5.To solve the present social problems the author suggests that we should.
6.The author mentions the fact that…to show.
7. This passage would most likely be found in _________?
8.The author’s attitude toward …is _________?
9. The tone of the passage can best be described as _________?
這些提問(wèn)方式的答案一般在短文中不可能直接找到,必須根據(jù)提問(wèn)中的某些關(guān)鍵字眼與短文中相應(yīng)的有關(guān)內(nèi)容加以邏輯推理或演算,從而得出某些作者并未說(shuō)明卻已在字里行間所暗含的意思及觀點(diǎn)。具體的說(shuō),考生應(yīng)當(dāng)注意以下幾點(diǎn):
1.首先要注意一定要忠實(shí)于原文,以文章提供的事實(shí)和線索為依據(jù)。立足已知,推斷未知,遵循“詞不離句,句不離段,段不離篇”的原則。千萬(wàn)不能主觀臆想,憑空想象,隨意揣測(cè),更不能以自己的觀點(diǎn)代替作者的觀點(diǎn)。
2.要吃透文章的字面意思,從字里行間捕捉有用的提示和線索,這是推理的前提和基礎(chǔ)。有的推斷,考生完全可以根據(jù)文章中所闡述的細(xì)節(jié),再結(jié)合自己所掌握的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)、有關(guān)背景知識(shí)或常識(shí)來(lái)幫助進(jìn)行分析、推敲,從而得出符合文章原意的結(jié)論。
3.要對(duì)文字的表面信息進(jìn)行挖掘加工,由表及里,由淺入深,從具體到抽象,從特殊到一般,通過(guò)分析、綜合、判斷等,進(jìn)行深層處理,合乎邏輯地推理。不能就事論事,斷章取義,以偏概全。
4. 要把握句、段之間的邏輯關(guān)系,了解語(yǔ)篇的結(jié)構(gòu),同時(shí)還要體會(huì)文章的基調(diào),揣摩作者的態(tài)度,摸準(zhǔn)邏輯發(fā)展方向,悟出作者的言外之意。
5.在解答推理性問(wèn)題時(shí),一定要注意確定推理依據(jù)的位置或范圍。應(yīng)清楚所要解答的問(wèn)題需要針對(duì)某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行推斷,還是針對(duì)主題思想、作者的意圖進(jìn)行推斷。針對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的推斷可運(yùn)用scanning的方法,迅速在材料中確定推理依據(jù)的位置或范圍,然后再進(jìn)行推理判斷。針對(duì)主題思想作推斷時(shí),則常常要縱覽全篇文章。
【答題技巧】
1. 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題
要求考生根據(jù)語(yǔ)篇關(guān)系,推斷具體細(xì)節(jié),如時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物關(guān)系、人物身份、事件、具體信息等??忌獜奈恼卤旧硭峁┑男畔⒊霭l(fā),抓住關(guān)鍵的信息詞,運(yùn)用邏輯思維,并借助一定的常識(shí)進(jìn)行分析、推理、判斷。
【真題再現(xiàn)】(2020·北京高考真題) Certain forms of AI are indeed becoming ubiquitous. For example, algorithms (算法) carry out huge volumes of trading on our financial markets, self-driving cars are appearing on city streets, and our smartphones are translating from one language into another. These systems are sometimes faster and more perceptive than we humans are. But so far that is only true for the specific tasks for which the systems have been designed. That is something that some AI developers are now eager to change.
Some of today’s AI pioneers want to move on from today’s world of “weak” or “narrow” AI, to create “strong” or “full” AI, or what is often called artificial general intelligence (AGI). In some respects, today’s powerful computing machines already make our brains look weak. A GI could, its advocates say, work for us around the clock, and drawing on all available data, could suggest solutions to many problems. DM, a company focused on the development of AGI, has an ambition to “solve intelligence”. “If we’re successful,” their mission statement reads, “we believe this will be one of the most important and widely beneficial scientific advances ever made.”
Since the early days of AI, imagination has outpaced what is possible or even probable. In 1965, an imaginative mathematician called Irving Good predicted the eventual creation of an “ultra-intelligent machine…that can far surpass all the intellectual (智力的) activities of any man, however clever.” Good went on to suggest that “the first ultra-intelligent machine” could be “the last invention that man need ever make.”
Fears about the appearance of bad, powerful, man-made intelligent machines have been reinforced (強(qiáng)化) by many works of fiction — Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the Terminator film series, for example. But if AI does eventually prove to be our downfall, it is unlikely to be at the hands of human-shaped forms like these, with recognisably human motivations such as aggression (敵對(duì)行為). Instead, I agree with Oxford University philosopher Nick Bostrom, who believes that the heaviest risks from A GI do not come from a decision to turn against mankind but rather from a dogged pursuit of set objectives at the expense of everything else.
The promise and danger of true A GI are great. But all of today’s excited discussion about these possibilities presupposes the fact that we will be able to build these systems. And, having spoken to many of the world’s foremost AI researchers, I believe there is good reason to doubt that we will see A GI any time soon, if ever.
9.What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph I probably mean?
A.Enormous in quantity. B.Changeable daily.
C.Stable in quality. D.Present everywhere.
10.What could AGI do for us, according to its supporters?
A.Help to tackle problems. B.Make brains more active.
C.Benefit ambitious people. D.Set up powerful databases.
11.As for Irving Good’s opinion on ultra-intelligent machines, the author is ____________.
A.supportive B.disapproving
C.fearful D.uncertain
12.What can be inferred about AGI from the passage?
A.It may be only a dream.
B.It will come into being soon.
C.It will be controlled by humans.
D.It may be more dangerous than ever.

【分析】
這是一篇議論文。文章主要就通用人工智能(AGI)實(shí)現(xiàn)的可能性進(jìn)行了論述。
9.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在句后面的For example, algorithms (算法) carry out huge volumes of trading on our financial markets, self-driving cars are appearing on city streets, and our smartphones are translating from one language into another(例如,算法在我們的金融市場(chǎng)上進(jìn)行大量交易,自動(dòng)駕駛汽車出現(xiàn)在城市街道上,我們的智能手機(jī)正在從一種語(yǔ)言翻譯成另一種語(yǔ)言)可知,人工智能在我們生活中用處十分廣泛。由此推知,劃線詞所在句意為“某些形式的人工智能確實(shí)正在變得無(wú)處不在”,即劃線詞與D選項(xiàng)“Present everywhere.(在任何地方存在)”意思接近。故選D項(xiàng)。
10.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段AGI could, its advocates say, work for us around the clock, and drawing on all available data, could suggest solutions to many problems(AGI的倡導(dǎo)者說(shuō),AGI可以24小時(shí)為我們工作,并利用所有可用的數(shù)據(jù),可以提出許多問(wèn)題的解決方案)可知,AGI(通用人工智能)的倡導(dǎo)者認(rèn)為,AGI(通用人工智能)可以提出許多問(wèn)題的解決方案,幫助我們解決問(wèn)題。因此,A選項(xiàng)“Help to tackle problems(幫助解決問(wèn)題)”符合題意。故選A項(xiàng)。
11.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段Since the early days of AI, imagination has outpaced what is possible or even probable. In 1965, an imaginative mathematician called Irving Good predicted the eventual creation of an “ultra-intelligent machine…that can far surpass all the intellectual (智力的) activities of any man, however clever.”(自從人工智能的早期,想象力已經(jīng)超過(guò)了可能。1965年,一位富有想象力的數(shù)學(xué)家歐文·古德預(yù)言,最終將創(chuàng)造出一臺(tái)“超智能機(jī)器……它將遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)任何一個(gè)人的智力活動(dòng),無(wú)論他有多聰明?!?可知,作者認(rèn)為Irving Good對(duì)“超智能機(jī)器”的想象力超出了實(shí)現(xiàn)的可能,作者并不贊成他的觀點(diǎn),因此B項(xiàng)“disapproving(不贊成)”符合題意。故選B項(xiàng)。
12.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句And, having spoken to many of the world's foremost AI researchers, I believe there is good reason to doubt that we will see A GI any time soon, if ever. (而且,在與世界上許多頂尖的人工智能研究人員交談后,我相信有充分的理由懷疑我們是否會(huì)很快看到AGI)可推斷出,通用人工智能(AGI)或許只是一個(gè)夢(mèng)想,A選項(xiàng)“It may be only a dream(它也許僅僅是一個(gè)夢(mèng)想)”符合題意。故選擇A項(xiàng)。
2. 因果推斷題
要求考生根據(jù)已知結(jié)果推測(cè)導(dǎo)致結(jié)果的可能原因或根據(jù)已有的原因推斷可能的結(jié)果??忌獪?zhǔn)確掌握文章的內(nèi)涵,理解文章的真正含義。最關(guān)鍵的是要找準(zhǔn)事物間存在的因果關(guān)系信息,根據(jù)已有信息,進(jìn)行分析判斷推理,從而推出最符合邏輯的原因或判斷出最可能導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果。
【真題再現(xiàn)】(2020·海南高考真題)Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush(灌木叢)in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy(樹(shù)冠層)of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.
Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.
They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity(濕氣)of large rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.
1.What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph?
A.They produce oxygen. B.They cover a vast area.
C.They are well managed. D.They are rich in wildlife.
2.Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests?
A.Heavy rains B.Big trees.
C.Small plants. D.Forest animals.
3.Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other?
A.For more sunlight. B.For more growing space.
C.For self-protection. D.For the detection of insects.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Life-Giving Rainforests B.The Law of the Jungle
C.Animals in the Amazon D.Weather in Rainforests
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.C 4.A

【真題再現(xiàn)】(2020·海南高考真題)The end of the school year was in sight and spirits were high. I was back teaching after an absence of 15 years, dealing with the various kinds of "forbidden fruit" that come out of book bags. Now was the spring of the water pistol.
I decided to think up a method of dealing with forbidden fruit.
"Please bring that pistol to me," I said. "I'm going to put it in my Grandma's Box."
"What's that?" they asked.
"It's a large wooden chest full of toys for my grandchildren," I replied,
"You don't have grandchildren," someone said.
"I don't now." I replied. "But someday I will. When I do, my box will be full of wonderful things for them."
My imaginary Grandma's Box worked like magic that spring, and later. Sometimes. students would ask me to describe all the things I had in it. Then I would try to remember the different possessions I supposedly had taken away—since I seldom actually kept them. Usually the offender would appear at the end of the day, and I would return the belonging.
The-years went by, and my first grandchild Gordon was born. I shared my joy with that year's class. Then someone said, "Now you can use your Grandma's Box." From then on instead of coming to ask their possessions back, the students would say, "That's okay. Put it in your Grandma's Box for Gordon."
I loved talking about the imaginary box, not only with my students but also with my own children. They enjoyed hearing about all the forbidden fruit I had collected. Then one Christmas I received a surprise gift—a large, beautifully made wooden chest. My son Bruce had made my Grandma's Box a reality.
5.What was the author's purpose in having the conversation with the students?
A.To collect the water pistol. B.To talk about her grandchildren.
C.To recommend some toys. D.To explain her teaching method.
6.What do the underlined words "the offender" in paragraph 8 refer to?
A.The student's parent. B.The maker of the Grandma's Box.
C.The author's grandchild. D.The owner of the forbidden fruit.
7.What did the students do after they learned about the birth of Gordon?
A.They went to play with the baby. B.They asked to see the Grandma's Box.
C.They made a present for Gordon. D.They stopped asking their toys back.
8.What can we infer about the author?
A.She enjoys telling jokes. B.She is a strict and smart teacher.
C.She loves doing woodwork. D.She is a responsible grandmother

【真題再現(xiàn)】(2020·江蘇高考真題)For those who can stomach it, working out before breakfast may be more beneficial for health than eating first, according to a study of meal timing and physical activity.
Athletes and scientists have long known that meal timing affects performance. However, far less has been known about how meal timing and exercise might affect general health.
To find out, British scientists conducted a study. They first found 10 overweight and inactive but otherwise healthy young men, whose lifestyles are, for better and worse, representative of those of most of us. They tested the men’s fitness and resting metabolic (新陳代謝的) rates and took samples (樣品) of their blood and fat tissue.
Then, on two separate morning visits to the scientists’ lab, each man walked for an hour at an average speed that, in theory, should allow his body to rely mainly on fat for fuel. Before one of these workouts, the men skipped breakfast, meaning that they exercised on a completely empty stomach after a long overnight fast (禁食). On the other occasion, they ate a rich morning meal about two hours before they started walking.
Just before and an hour after each workout, the scientists took additional samples of the men’s blood and fat tissue.
Then they compared the samples. There were considerable differences. Most obviously, the men displayed lower blood sugar levels at the start of their workouts when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten. As a result, they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first. On the other hand, they burned slightly more calories (卡路里), on average, during the workout after breakfast than after fasting.
But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the most significant, the researchers found. Multiple genes behaved differently, depending on whether someone had eaten or not before walking. Many of these genes produce proteins (蛋白質(zhì)) that can improve blood sugar regulation and insulin (胰島素) levels throughout the body and so are associated with improved metabolic health. These genes were much more active when the men had fasted before exercise than when they had breakfasted.
The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise, it may be wise to skip eating first.
13.The underlined expression “stomach it” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “______”.
A.digest the meal easily B.manage without breakfast
C.decide wisely what to eat D.eat whatever is offered
14.Why were the 10 people chosen for the experiment?
A.Their lifestyles were typical of ordinary people.
B.Their lack of exercise led to overweight.
C.They could walk at an average speed.
D.They had slow metabolic rates.
15.What happened to those who ate breakfast before exercise?
A.They successfully lost weight. B.They consumed a bit more calories.
C.They burned more fat on average. D.They displayed higher insulin levels.
16.What could be learned from the research?
A.A workout after breakfast improves gene performances.
B.Too much workout often slows metabolic rates.
C.Lifestyle is not as important as morning exercise.
D.Physical exercise before breakfast is better for health.
【答案】13.B 14.A 15.B 16.D

Claire Wyatt, a 24-year-old British volunteer, led eight Cambodians living with disabilities on a 155-mile bike ride from Phnom Penh, the nation’s capital, to Siem Reap to raise money and deliver supplies to those in need in the coronavirus pandemic(新冠病毒大流行).
“Leading this trip was an incredibly special experience for me,” said Claire. “Not only was I encouraged by the determination of each and every rider, but also the team taught me every day not to focus on their disability.”
When she was first asked to lead the trip, Claire admitted, she was feeling nervous about her team traveling such a distance in just a few days because cycling with a disability can come with added physical and emotional challenges.
One team member named Dy, who lost an arm in an accident, biked using just one arm to balance. Another named Vulta could only pedal on one side due to polio(小兒麻痹). Despite all the difficulties, Claire realized quickly that she didn’t have to worry about her team. She saw them deal with rough area that she had seen abled cyclists give up on before.
The volunteers covered the distance in just four days, not only helping so many people across the country, but also overcoming huge difficulties to get there.
“The best thing about this ride is that the riders have all volunteered their time to do this. They are so enthusiastic about Cambodia and raising money for others in need,” said Claire. “The money raised will feed 99 families in Siem Reap.”
Claire recalled her favorite moment of the experience, when one of the cyclists pushed an exhausted teammate up a hill for 2 miles. “One moment that stood out for me was when Naret, our only female rider, was feeling tired,” she said. “Her fellow rider gently put his hand on her back and pushed her for 2 miles! They were encouraging each other to push through the tiredness.”
1. Why did Claire and eight Cambodians cycle 155 miles?
A. To challenge themselves. B. To help out needy people.
C. To take part in a competition. D. To raise money for the disabled.
2. What worried Claire before the ride?
A. She might be injured on the road.
B. She would be unable to lead the team.
C. Her team might be looked down on.
D. Her team couldn’t finish the route.
3. Which of the following can best describe the team?
A. Confident, calm and friendly.
B. Honest, patient and open-minded.
C. Strong-minded, brave and caring.
D. Curious, creative and experienced.
4. What did Claire think of the journey?
A. It could have taken less time.
B. It was amazing and inspiring.
C. It changed her idea about human nature.
D. It was more difficult than she had expected.

Money might not grow on trees, but scientists have confirmed that gold is found in the leaves of some plants. Researchers from Australia say that the presence of the particles (顆粒) in a eucalyptus (桉樹(shù)) tree’s leaves shows that deposits (礦藏) are buried many meters below. They believe that the discovery offers a new way to find the valuable metal in difficult-to-reach areas.
Dr Mel Lintern said: “We have found a lot of the easy particles in Australia in this way. Now we are trying to find the more difficult ones that are buried tens of meters below. And the trees are providing us with a method to be able to do this.”
Using a vast machine that uses X-rays to explore matter in detail—they found gold in the leaves and small thin branches.
“We need 500 eucalyptus trees growing over a gold deposit to have enough gold in the tress themselves to make a gold ring,” said Dr Lintern. However the presence of the particles pointed to richer deposits buried more than 30m below. He added, “We believe that the trees are acting like a pump(水泵). They are bringing life-giving water from their roots, and in doing so, they are taking smaller gold particles up into the leaves.”
The scientists said that research on plants could offer a better and simpler method to discover gold deposits. Dr Lintern said: “Not only do we believe it is a way of saving the exploration cost, because exploring for these deposits can be quite expensive, it also reduces the damage to the environment because we are taking a very small amount from the trees themselves, as well as the leaves and branches on the ground. The plant-analyzing(解析) method is certain to work!”
5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. A New Way to Protect Metal Deposits.
B. Newly-discovered Gold Deposits.

When our second baby was coining, I couldn’t help worrying about my older daughter. Would the introduction of a sibling(兄弟姐妹) be a problem for her? Would she like a sibling? My husband and I read all the books we could find on preparing for a sibling and came up with a plan of action to help our daughter get used to it.
Our plan went really smoothly for the first year of our daughters, living together. But as the little one grew and became a person with opinions and feet that walked and hands that could pick up toys easily, things got more difficult.
Having more than one kid is a management challenge — one I failed at daily. I immediately turned to a bestseller Siblings Without Rivalry by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish — and it was helpful. But it paid more attention to older siblings and those who are closer in age than our two.
And, then, two months ago I received a copy of Dr. Laura Markham’s Peaceful Parent, Happy Siblings, and it changed my parenting forever. It is a step-by-step guide to calming conflict and creating connection and even friendship between siblings. From laying the groundwork for emotional connection so kids are less likely to act out on their siblings, to managing fights, this is a great guide to helping your kids get along. And it actually includes examples you can relate to.
My husband and I are parenting differently and better since reading it. The book is of practical value and really worth reading. If you are thinking of adding another child to your family or you have trouble with the ones you have pick it up.
9. What worried the author?
A. When to have a second baby.
B. How to balance her work and life.
C. Whether her second baby would be healthy.
D. Whether her older daughter would accept a sibling.
10. How did their plan work when the second kid grew older?
A. It turned out rather rewarding. B. It proved quite reasonable.
C. It didn’t function effectively. D. It was very efficient.
11. What did the author think of the book Siblings Without Rivalry?
A. It was not helpful at all. B. It didn’t work so well for her family.
C. It eased conflicts in the family. D. It worsened her parenting problems.
12. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?

Electric cars with heavy batteries should face higher taxes due to harmful particles(小顆粒) released by their tyres and their impact on the road surface, experts have recommended.
It is known that switching to electric cars will remove pollutants from exhausts(廢氣). However, models with large batteries capable of travelling 300 miles between charges emit(排放)up to 8 percent more particles from tyres and road wear than petrol cars, according to a report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. It says electric vehicles should also be charged tolls(過(guò)路費(fèi)) aimed at reducing emissions.
Drivers could also be encouraged to buy lighter electric cars by linking vehicle taxes to weight, the Paris-based think tank(專家組) adds. It calls for a “reevaluation of the net environmental benefits” of electric cars and suggests that they should not be given “blanket support”. “Road traffic regulations should consider both exhaust and non - exhaust emissions from all vehicles and should take into account factors like vehicle weight and tyre composition, it says. “While exhaust emissions are heavily regulated, there are no limits on the pollution a car can cause from tyres, brakes and road surfaces. With strict controls on tailpipe emissions and rapid development of electric vehicles, non — exhaust emissions are quickly becoming the major source of particles from road transport,” the think tank says.
Electric cars are almost £90 cheaper to insure than petrol cars due to electric cars having fewer moving parts, which makes them less likely to break down, according to a study by Compare the market, the price comparison website.
13. Why should electric cars with heavy batteries face higher taxes?
A. Because they are more expensive.
B. Because they release more exhausts.
C. Because their tyres threaten the environment.
D. Because their batteries need charging frequently.
14. What can we learn about electric cars from Paragraph 2?
A. Their drivers don’t pay tolls at present.
B. They emit 8 percent less particles than petrol cars.
C. They can remove pollutants from exhausts and batteries.
D. Their power can be switched between electricity and petrol.
15. Which of the following will the think tank support?
A. Electric vehicle taxes should be decided by its cost.
B. The pollution caused from car brakes can be ignored.
C. Tailpipe emissions are still the major source of particles.
D. The benefits of electric cars to the environment are over estimated.
16. What accounts for cheaper insurance of electric cars?
A. Fewer vehicle failures. B. Better tyre composition.
C. Lower vehicle weight. D. More advanced functions.

(專家建議,由于輪胎釋放的有害顆粒和對(duì)路面的影響,使用重電池的電動(dòng)汽車應(yīng)面臨更高的稅收。)”可知,重電池的電動(dòng)汽車要面臨更高的稅收,因?yàn)樗鼈兊妮喬ネ{環(huán)境。故選C項(xiàng)。
14. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“It says electric vehicles should also be charged tolls(過(guò)路費(fèi)) aimed at reducing emissions. (該組織表示,電動(dòng)汽車也應(yīng)該征收通行費(fèi),以減少排放。)”可推知電動(dòng)汽車的司機(jī)現(xiàn)在不用交過(guò)路費(fèi)。故選A項(xiàng)。
15. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“It calls for a “reevaluation of the net environmental benefits” of electric cars and suggests that they should not be given “blanket support”. (報(bào)告呼吁“重新評(píng)估”電動(dòng)汽車的“凈環(huán)境效益”,并建議不應(yīng)給予電動(dòng)汽車“全面支持”。)”可知,專家組認(rèn)為電動(dòng)汽車對(duì)環(huán)境的好處被高估了。故選D項(xiàng)。
16. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Electric cars are almost £90 cheaper to insure than petrol cars due to electric cars having fewer moving parts, which makes them less likely to break down, according to a study by Compare the market, the price comparison website. (根據(jù)價(jià)格比較網(wǎng)站“比較市場(chǎng)”的一項(xiàng)研究,電動(dòng)汽車的保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)用比汽油車便宜近90英鎊,因?yàn)殡妱?dòng)汽車的活動(dòng)部件較少,這使得它們不太可能發(fā)生故障。)”可知,因?yàn)殡妱?dòng)汽車很少發(fā)生車輛故障,所以電動(dòng)汽車的保險(xiǎn)更便宜。故選A項(xiàng)。

Anna Akter, a nine-year-old student at a floating school in Bangladeshi remote Natore district, says she might have missed out on her education during annual floods without her boat-based classroom. The same goes for Khushi Khatun, who also studies at the boat school where she gets free tuition and materials. “Had there been no such school, she would have had to walk two kilometers along a muddy path or take a boat journey which may have discouraged her from studying, said her father, a farmer in Pangasia village.
Each year, much of the Bangladesh countryside is hit by flooding. With around two thirds of the country's 160 million people living in rural areas, during a normal rainy season, some 1.5 million students are estimated to be affected by floods.
The boats first served as the school bus, collecting children from different riverside stops. Instead of the students going to school, the school reaches them,” said Mohammed Rezwan, founder of Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha, the non-profit organization that introduced the country's first floating school system.
Rezwan, an architect, was born and brought up in Natore district, and he himself was lucky as he didn't miss school in the rainy season thanks to his family's boat. While at university, it occurred to him that if children couldn't make it to school, their classroom should go to them. So he established Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha in 1998 with $ 500 from his savings and scholarship money, and the floating school concept was launched in 2002.
The floating schools cover an area of 2 square km, offering primary level education to local children who might otherwise have stayed away from school. Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha now also trains adult villagers on children's and women's rights, nutrition and health, and how to farm ducks and fish alongside vegetables in “floating gardens, helping them adapt to the impacts of climate change.
17. What do the two girls do during the rainy season?
A. They study at a boat school. B. They go to a tuition-school.
C. They stay away from school. D. They take a boat to school.
18. What is special about a floating school?
A. The boat serves as a school bus. B. The boat is used as a classroom.
C. It never stops at a fixed spot. D. It offers free schooling to all children.
19. What made Rezwan start the floating school system?
A. His desire to make money. B. His interest in teaching.
C. His childhood experience. D. The farmers' request.
20. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To show the effects of climate on schools. B. To explain the climate of Bangladesh.
C. To praise Rezwan for his selfless acts. D. To introduce a new school system.
【答案】17. A 18. B 19. C 20. D

In the past few decades, parental fears over their children's “fragile” egos (脆弱的自我) have dominated thinking. Rather than using failure to improve, participation and effort have become what is celebrated. Parents now see failure as a terrible disaster with negative consequences as opposed to something their children could recover and grow from.
In a recent study, administrators at Harvard observed that despite awesome grades, the kids entering college seem unable to take care of themselves and think for themselves. The study points to the fact that for all their lives their parents have taken care of every need, told them what path to follow and if any difficulty occurs, have made sure to fix it for them. As a result, children have lost the ability to feel competent and to be in charge of their own lives.
I was a baseball player. When the opportunity to coach my son's team came up, I was in two minds. I wanted my kids to do activities without their dad hanging around. But an old friend happened to be the head coach and he convinced me to help out. I coached it well, rarely having a hand in training my son. I found out the learning opportunities on and off the field were even better than I had imagined.
Last season, our team lost 0-13. In the post-game meeting, my message was, “You have to learn how to lose if you ever want to win.” When saying this to the team, I was met with blank stares. When I said it to the parents, there was some nodding but not everyone was on board. Shouldn't I be praising the kids for their every action? Why didn't I put only the best players at the “important” positions? How come I didn't replace kids who were struggling with players who could do better?
Luckily, the parents eventually got my message and I didn't get any push-back at all. They desired to learn more about life lessons that failure could teach their kids. And the team began to win games after early losses.

21. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Parents now see failure as a terrible disaster with negative consequences as opposed to something their children could recover and grow from.”(父母現(xiàn)在認(rèn)為失敗是一場(chǎng)可怕的災(zāi)難,會(huì)帶來(lái)負(fù)面的后果,而沒(méi)有看待成他們的孩子可以從中恢復(fù)過(guò)來(lái)和成長(zhǎng)機(jī)會(huì)。),可知,父母害怕孩子失敗后受到嚴(yán)重地打擊,于是鼓勵(lì)孩子們參與與努力即可。故選B。
22. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段,“The study points to the fact that for all their lives their parents have taken care of every need, told them what path to follow and if any difficulty occurs, have made sure to fix it for them. ”(研究指出,對(duì)于他們的生活而言,他們的父母已經(jīng)照顧到每一個(gè)需求,并告知他們沿什么樣的道路去走,及如果出現(xiàn)任何困難,父母都會(huì)確保為他們解決好),可知,孩子的失敗對(duì)父母意味著災(zāi)難性的影響。故選D。
23. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一句,“When the opportunity to coach my son's team came up, I was in two minds. ”(當(dāng)可以給兒子的棒球隊(duì)當(dāng)教練的機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)臨時(shí),我是猶豫不決的),可知,作者當(dāng)時(shí)是猶豫不決的,in two minds是固定短語(yǔ),意為“猶豫不決的,三心二意的”。故選C。
24. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段第四句,“When I said it to the parents, there was some nodding but not everyone was on board.”(當(dāng)我把這句話說(shuō)給父母?jìng)兟?tīng)時(shí),他們有一些人點(diǎn)頭,但是不是每個(gè)人都同意這種說(shuō)法)由此判斷出,第四段中的三個(gè)問(wèn)題暗示有些人懷疑作者策略。故選A。
