【解題實(shí)用技法】
一、設(shè)問方式
1. What des the underlined wrd “dwnside” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
2. What des the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
二、實(shí)用妙招
在閱讀理解中,通常通過信息指代類的題目考查考生對于上下文銜接關(guān)系以及文章基本結(jié)構(gòu)的把握。信息指代類題目在高考英語中有兩種:名詞(短語)指代題和代詞指代題。本專題我們就如何解答名詞(短語)指代題進(jìn)行相關(guān)技巧的點(diǎn)撥。
解答名詞(短語)指代題時(shí),可以按照如下步驟進(jìn)行:
1.定位:返回原文,找出名詞(短語)所在句;
2.代入:將四個(gè)選項(xiàng)代入該名詞(短語),看意思是否通順;
3.匹配:聯(lián)系上下文,讀懂相關(guān)句子的含義,進(jìn)一步分析四個(gè)選項(xiàng),選出符合上下文語境的最佳答案。
二、思維導(dǎo)圖
1.利用釋義法猜詞
在說明文尤其是科技類說明文中,作者通常會對一些關(guān)鍵詞或?qū)I(yè)術(shù)語進(jìn)行解釋。常見的有對該詞下定義或后跟同位語、定語從句、冒號、破折號、括號等引出解釋說明部分。
考例1(2022?全國乙卷?C篇29題)
29. What des “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Persnnel safety. B. Assistance frm drnes.
C. inspectin and repair. D. Cnstructin f infrastructure.
原文:That includes huge savings in maintenance csts and better prtectin f railway persnnel safety. It is calculated that Eurpean railways alne spend apprximately 20 billin eurs a year n maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, ften at night, t inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerus wrk that culd be avided with drnes assisting the crews’ effrts.
解析:“including sending maintenance staff, ften at night, t inspect and repair the rail infrastructure”對“maintenance”進(jìn)行了解釋,故推測maintenance是“維護(hù),保養(yǎng)”的意思,C項(xiàng)inspectin and repair與句中的inspect and repair對應(yīng)。故選C。
2.利用構(gòu)詞法猜詞
英語單詞可以通過添加詞綴、合成或轉(zhuǎn)化的方式構(gòu)成新詞或生成新的詞義。同學(xué)們要熟記一定數(shù)量的詞根、前綴和后綴,從而達(dá)到通過“解剖”一個(gè)單詞,對一個(gè)生詞能夠“望文生義”的效果。
考例2(2016?全國II卷?B篇27題)
27. What des the underlined wrd “dwnside” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Mistake. B. Drawback. C. Difficulty. D. Burden.
原文:Encuraging this kind f thinking has a dwnside. I ran the risk f lsing thse students wh had a different style f thinking. Withut fail ne wuld declare, “But I’m just nt creative.”
解析:dwnside是由“dwn(向下)+ side(方面)”構(gòu)成的合成詞,并且后文提到“作者冒著失去那些有不同思維風(fēng)格的學(xué)生的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)”。因此,我們可以猜測該詞的意思是“不足,缺點(diǎn)”,故選B項(xiàng)。
3.利用因果關(guān)系猜詞
若畫線單詞或短語前后句子之間構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系,那我們便可以根據(jù)這種因果邏輯關(guān)系推知單詞或短語的意義。因果關(guān)系的語境通常由because, s, thus, therefre, as a result f, s that, 等標(biāo)志詞體現(xiàn)。
考例3(2019?全國II卷?B篇25題)
25. What des the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Encurage team wrk. B. Appeal t feeling.
C. Prmte gd deeds. D. Prvide advice.
原文:I guess that there’s prbably sme demanding wrk schedule, r scial anxiety arund stepping up t help fr an unknwn sprt. She may just need a little persuading. S I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mentin the single parent with fur kids running the shw and I talk abut the dad caching a team that his kids aren’t even n … At this pint the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I’ll d it.”
【解析】由邏輯詞“s”可知,此處可以借助因果邏輯關(guān)系猜測詞義句意。畫線部分的前一句提到“她可能需要有人勸說一下”,故“tug at the heartstrings”應(yīng)該有“勸說”的意思?!癮ppeal t feeling”意思是“打動(dòng)某人,喚起某人的情感”,故選B項(xiàng)。
4.利用對比關(guān)系猜詞
運(yùn)用轉(zhuǎn)折對比描述事物或現(xiàn)象是寫作時(shí)常用的一種手法,作者常借用一些信號詞來提供相反信息,抓住這些信號詞,結(jié)合上下文意,我們就能夠快速推測出詞義。體現(xiàn)對比關(guān)系的詞語很多,常見的有but, yet, hwever, while, unlike, instead f, n the ther hand, rather than, n the cntrary等。
考例4 (2020?新高考卷Ⅰ?D篇33題)
33. What des the underlined wrd “beanples” in paragraph 1 refer t?
A. Big eaters.B. Overweight persns.C. Picky eaters.D. Tall thin persns.
原文:Accrding t a recent study in the Jurnal f Cnsumer Research, bth the size and cnsumptin habits f ur eating cmpanins can influence ur fd intake. And cntrary t existing research that says yu shuld avid eating with heavier peple wh rder large prtins(份), it’s the beanples with big appetites yu really need t avid.
解析:利用對比關(guān)系猜測詞義。根據(jù) “And cntrary t existing research that says yu shuld avid eating with heavier peple wh rder large prtins(份),it’s the beanples with big appetites yu really need t avid.”,研究表明,與現(xiàn)存的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)(應(yīng)該避免和食量大的胖人一起吃飯) 相反,你真正需要避開的是胃口大的又高又瘦的人。根據(jù)“cntrary t”可知,畫線詞與heavier peple含義相反。
5.利用語境法解題
有些猜測詞義句意題找不到以上標(biāo)志或線索,我們可以利用上下文提供的語境進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的綜合分析,進(jìn)而推測詞義句意。
考例5(2022?新高考II卷,B篇24題)
24. What d the underlined wrds “hit hme fr me” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Prvided shelter fr me. B. Became very clear t me.
C. Tk the pressure ff me. D. Wrked quite well n me.
原文:We jurnalists live in a new age f strytelling, with many new multimedia tls. Many yung peple dn't even realize it's new. Fr them, it’s just nrmal.
This hit hme fr me as I was sitting with my 2-year-ld grandsn n a sfa ver the Spring Festival hliday. I had brught a children's bk t read. It had simple wrds and clrful pictures—a perfect match fr his age.
解析:根據(jù)上下文語境可知,作者是記者,生活在一個(gè)講故事的新時(shí)代,有許多新的多媒體工具。許多年輕人甚至沒有意識到它是新的。對他們來說,這很正常。而在春節(jié)假期,作者和兩歲的孫子坐在沙發(fā)上看書時(shí),尤其清楚認(rèn)識到了這一點(diǎn)。故畫線詞意思是“我很清楚”。故選B。
6.利用同義關(guān)系解題
畫線單詞或短語前后有時(shí)會出現(xiàn)與之同義或近義的詞語或結(jié)構(gòu),這時(shí)我們可從熟悉的詞語中推知生詞的含義。常見的表示同義關(guān)系的詞或短語有and, r, like, as well, similarly, t, als, either等。
考例6(2015?四川卷?D篇44題)
44. What des the underlined wrd “ncturnal” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Active at night. B. Inactive at night.
C. Active during the day. D. Inactive during the day.
原文:And it is nt just rbins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are als being mre ncturnal.
解析:畫線單詞前一句說“不是只有知更鳥在人造光下會一直醒著”,而“als(也)”表明這一句與前面表達(dá)的意思相近,即“黑鸝和海鷗也更活躍”?!皀cturnal”應(yīng)該是“awake”的近義詞,意為“夜間活躍的”,故選A項(xiàng)。
7.利用生活常識解題
在僅靠分析篇章內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系和語境無法猜出詞義時(shí),我們可以借助生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)和普通常識確定詞義。
考例7(2020?江蘇卷?C篇61題)
61. The underlined expressin “stmach it” in Paragraph 1 mst prbably means “ _______ ”.
A. digest the meal easily B. manage withut breakfast
C. decide wisely what t eat D. eat whatever is ffered
原文:Fr thse wh can stmach it, wrking ut befre breakfast may be mre beneficial fr health than eating first, accrding t a study f meal timing and physical activity.
解析:此題考查“stmach”的生僻意思。根據(jù)生活常識可知,有的人鍛煉前不吃早飯是受不了的,所以此處意為“如果可以忍受空腹的話,在吃早飯前去鍛煉比吃過早餐后去鍛煉好處更多”,故選B項(xiàng)。
【高考真題再練】

29.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞下文“This prcess requires yu t step away frm ptinal nline activities fr thirty days. At the end f the thirty days, yu will then add back a small number f carefully chsen nline activities that yu believe will prvide massive benefits t the things yu value. (這個(gè)過程要求你在30天內(nèi)遠(yuǎn)離可選的在線活動(dòng)。在30天結(jié)束的時(shí)候,你再加上一些你認(rèn)為會給你所看重的東西帶來巨大好處的精心挑選的在線活動(dòng))”可推知,畫線詞“declutter”的意思是“清理”,對在線活動(dòng)進(jìn)行清理和挑選。故選A。
2.(2023?新高考II卷?C篇30題)

We see scenes f children learning t read at hme r at schl, with the bk as a fcus fr relatins between the generatins. (藝術(shù)品的選擇和排列方式強(qiáng)調(diào)了不同時(shí)代和文化之間的聯(lián)系。我們看到孩子們在家里或?qū)W校學(xué)習(xí)閱讀的場景,這本書是幾代人之間關(guān)系的焦點(diǎn))”以及“These scenes may have been painted hundreds f years ag, but they recrd mments (這些場景可能是數(shù)百年前繪制的,但它們記錄了一些時(shí)刻)”可推知,此處指書籍是人類之間相互聯(lián)系和理解的紐帶,故與畫線短語“relate t”意思最相近的為A項(xiàng)“理解、認(rèn)識到”。故選A。
3.(2023?全國甲卷?B篇24題)

24.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)文章第一段畫線短語下文“Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing tgether furniture, she never pays smene else t d a jb she can d herself. (她擅長擺架子和拼接家具,從不付錢給別人做她自己能做的工作)”可推知,此處指Terri Bltnis是一位DIY高手。C項(xiàng)“A specialist (一位專業(yè)人員)”最接近畫線短語“a dab hand”的意思。故選C。

34. What des the underlined wrd “cnversatin” in paragraph 3 refer t?

34.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞上文(加勒比海的泰諾人、澳大利亞的土著人、貝寧的非洲人以及印加人,所有這些人都出現(xiàn)在這本書中,他們現(xiàn)在都可以通過他們制造的物品向我們講述他們過去最強(qiáng)大的成就:通過物品講述的歷史給了他們一個(gè)聲音。當(dāng)我們考慮諸如此類的有文化社會和無文化社會之間的接觸時(shí),我們所有的第一手資料都必然是扭曲的,只有對話的一半。)”結(jié)合劃線句“If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects. (如果我們要找到對話的另一半,我們不僅要讀文本,還要讀物體。)”可知,我們對過去歷史的了解,只是書寫歷史的人所想要讓我們了解的歷史,如果我們想要了解歷史的另一半,我們不僅僅要讀文本也要讀對象。所以cnversatin指的是“歷史”。故選B。

24.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線部分前文“Chances are that if yu’re lking t live a mre sustainable lifestyle, nt everyne arund yu will be ready t(如果你想過一種更可持續(xù)的生活方式,可能不是你周圍的每個(gè)人都準(zhǔn)備好)”及第二段中的“I’ve learned a few things alng the way thugh, which I hpe yu’ll find encuraging if yu’re ding yur best t figure ut hw yu can make the change in a nt-always-supprtive husehld.(在這個(gè)過程中,我學(xué)到了一些東西,我希望如果你在一個(gè)不總是支持你的家庭中盡最大努力去弄清楚如何做出改變,你會感到鼓舞)”可知,如果你想過一種更可持續(xù)的生活方式,可能不是你周圍的每個(gè)人都準(zhǔn)備好加入這一運(yùn)動(dòng)。由此推知,劃線詞組jump n that bandwagn與Jin yu in what yu’re ding.(加入你正在做的事情)意思接近。故選B。

28. A。詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第二段劃線詞前文“Thrughut her career(職業(yè)) as a prfessinal dancer, she tured in the UK, but always lnged t explre further. (在她的職業(yè)舞蹈演員生涯中,她曾在英國巡演,但一直渴望進(jìn)一步探索)”和“When she retired frm dancing and her sns eventually flew the nest,(當(dāng)她不再跳舞,她的兒子們最終獨(dú)立生活)”可知,Ginni在退休和兒子們成家立業(yè)之后,她決定嘗試有挑戰(zhàn)性的事情。由此推知,劃線詞組take the plunge與try challenging things“嘗試有挑戰(zhàn)性的事情”意思接近。故選A。

29. B。詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞后文“And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a gd skater. (那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家)”可知,作者掌握了滑板落地技巧,因此他的朋友大聲歡呼,因此可以推出本句的Safe是贊美的含義。

A。詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞的上文“Of thse Australians wh still have a landline (在那些仍然有固定電話的澳大利亞人中)”可知,這個(gè)調(diào)查的目標(biāo)人群是仍然有固定電話的澳大利亞人;根據(jù)下文“it's nt really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case f emergencies (固定電話并不是必須的,他們將其作為一種安全保障——19%的人表示他們從未使用過固定電話,另有13%的人保留固定電話以防緊急情況)”可知,很多人認(rèn)為固定電話并不是必須擁有的,有些人保留固定電話只是為了防止緊急情況。從而推知,在調(diào)查中,他們應(yīng)該是承認(rèn)了固定電話的非必要性。由此推知,劃線單詞“cncede”意為“承認(rèn)”。

1.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞上文“They added that ethanl was a useful and simple way t increase fd prductin all ver the wrld in times f drught. (他們補(bǔ)充說,在干旱時(shí)期,乙醇是增加世界各地糧食產(chǎn)量的一種有用而簡單的方法)”以及后文“agricultural methd t enhance drught resistance in varius plants (提高各種植物抗旱性的農(nóng)業(yè)方法)”可推斷,在干旱時(shí)期,乙醇是增加世界各地糧食產(chǎn)量的一種有用而簡單的方法,所以將乙醇應(yīng)用于植物將是一種有效的農(nóng)業(yè)方法,可以增強(qiáng)各種植物的抗旱性。故畫線詞意思是“有效的”。故選A。

9.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“On an extremely cld December night, fire trucks arrived in the sleepy little twn f Mantn, Michigan and sht t Chittle’s hme.(在12月的一個(gè)寒冷的晚上,消防車到達(dá)了密歇根州沉睡的曼頓小鎮(zhèn),沖向了Chittle的家)”、第二段“And what is a better utdr activity t get peple utside than ice skating?(還有什么比滑冰更能讓人們出門的戶外活動(dòng)呢)”和第三段“It tk 12 fire trucks t get enugh water t fill the plt.(12輛消防車才運(yùn)來足夠的水)”可知,在12月的一個(gè)晚上,消防車趕往Mantn,是為了幫助Chittle修建溜冰場。故選D。
10.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“T fulfil his dream, Chittle dwnladed instructins n hw t build an ice rink and then rdered a 3,000 square ft waterprf clth and sme wd t create walls nline.(為了實(shí)現(xiàn)他的夢想,Chittle下載了如何建造溜冰場的說明,然后在網(wǎng)上訂購了3000平方英尺的防水布和一些木頭來建造墻壁)”可知,為了實(shí)現(xiàn)建溜冰場這一夢想,Chittle在網(wǎng)上下載了建造教程并購買了所需材料。故選C。
11.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段““When things were tugh, it was a place,” says Chittle’s neighbr Audrey Hker. “It was fantastic because we just came tgether and became calm and happy instead f cncerned.”(Chittle的鄰居Audrey Hker說道:“當(dāng)情況艱難時(shí),是這個(gè)地方,它太棒了,因?yàn)槲覀兙墼谝黄穑兊闷届o和快樂,而不是擔(dān)心?!?”可知,在形勢艱難的時(shí)候,Chittle建的溜冰場成了一個(gè)讓人們可以聚在一起,感到平靜和快樂,而不是擔(dān)心的地方。由此可推斷,Chittle建的溜冰場帶給社區(qū)居民慰藉和陪伴。故選C。
12.詞句猜測題。結(jié)合上文提到的Chittle為社區(qū)建溜冰場和劃線句的后文內(nèi)容“When the cmmunity heard hw much mney he used t make this prject happen, everyne stepped frward.

16.推理判斷題。通讀全文,尤其根據(jù)第一段中的“It sparked his desire t start rescuing bks frm the garbage. He tk hme between 50 and 60 bks every mrning after his nine-hur shift.

【答案】17.D 18.D 19.C 20.D
【導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。介紹了什么是元宇宙,以及對我們生活會有哪些改變,以及目前發(fā)展的最好的公司是誰,以及對未來的展望。
17.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Put plainly, the metaverse is a 3D virtual space that can be accessed thrugh virtual reality gggles, adding elements f the digital n tp f ur day-t-day lives.(簡而言之,虛擬世界是一個(gè)可以通過虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)眼鏡進(jìn)入的3D虛擬空間,在我們的日常生活中添加了數(shù)字元素)”可知,元宇宙是一個(gè)通過VR眼鏡與現(xiàn)實(shí)世界互動(dòng)的虛擬世界。故選D項(xiàng)。
18.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“The metaverse is a further cmbinatin f ur physical and digital lives”(元宇宙是我們實(shí)體生活和數(shù)字生活的進(jìn)一步結(jié)合)和“Put plainly, the metaverse is a 3D virtual space that can be accessed thrugh virtual reality gggles, adding elements f the digital n tp f ur day-t-day lives. Yu culd attend cncerts and cnferences in the metaverse, staged in a 3D digital representatin f a nightclub r cnference center. Elsewhere, yu’ll shp fr shes in a virtual Nike stre r rder fd in a virtual McDnald’s and have it delivered t yur real-wrld hme.(簡而言之,虛擬世界是一個(gè)可以通過虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)眼鏡進(jìn)入的3D虛擬空間,在我們的日常生活中添加了數(shù)字元素。你可以在虛擬世界里參加音樂會和會議,在三維數(shù)字形式的夜總會或會議中心舉行。在其他地方,你可以在虛擬的耐克商店購買鞋子,或者在虛擬的麥當(dāng)勞訂購食物,然后把食物送到你現(xiàn)實(shí)世界的家里)”可推知,作者提到音樂會和會議是為了提供實(shí)體生活和數(shù)字生活如何結(jié)合的例子。故選D項(xiàng)。
19.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“But Hackl warns peple nt t view the scial media giant as the center f the metaverse. “It’s nt just ne cmpany,” she says. “N single cmpany can build it, either.” It’s als nt enabled by a single technlgy, even thugh right nw the way t “enter” the metaverse is t wear a pair f virtual reality gggles. While the early running may be made by Meta, the mmentum will be picked up by thers.(但哈克警告人們不要將這家社交媒體巨頭視為虛擬世界的中心?!安恢皇且患夜?,”她說。“也沒有一家公司可以單獨(dú)建造它?!彼膊皇怯蓡我患夹g(shù)實(shí)現(xiàn)的,即使現(xiàn)在“進(jìn)入”虛擬世界的方式是戴上一副虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)眼鏡。雖然Meta可能會搶先一步,但其他公司也會跟進(jìn))”可知,Meta可能會搶先一步研究出虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)眼鏡,可推知,它似乎在元宇宙領(lǐng)域占據(jù)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位。故選C項(xiàng)。
20.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段中“And just because we have an idea f what the metaverse will lk like nw, it desn’t mean that’s what it’ll end up as, Hackl warns. “The way I explain it is we’re in a high-speed train, destinatin metaverse,” she says.(哈克警告說,僅僅因?yàn)槲覀冎垃F(xiàn)在的元宇宙是什么樣子,并不意味著它最終會是什么樣子。她說:“我的解釋是,我們是在一列高速列車上,目的地是元宇宙?!?”可推知,最后一段帶下劃線的句子是雖然不知道這個(gè)過程,但Hackl對超宇宙的光明未來充滿信心。故選D項(xiàng)。
(22·23·鹽城·三模)In this age f screens, smartphnes, virtual assistants and vice-enabled speakers, we cnstantly receive visual and auditry (聽覺的) suggestins f things t d, prducts t buy, and media t cnsume. Yet are all these messages created equal? Accrding t a research, the answer is n.
In the spring f 2018, Mariadassu and Bechler, bth graduate students f Business, were sitting in a seminar (研討會), in which they were studying hw different types f messages affect decisin-making. They learned that peple generally perceive smene as mre intelligent when they cnvey spken infrmatin rather than delivering the same message in writing.
As they chatted after class, Mariadassu recalls, “We wndered, ‘What wuld happen if yu apply this t recmmendatins?’” They believed there is “a general perceptin that peple act n auditry and visual infrmatin the same way” and wanted t explre this assumptin.
Mariadassu, wh is pursuing her PhD in marketing, with Bechler, nw a prfessr at the University f Ntre Dame’s Mendza Cllege f Business, ran a series f studies where the same infrmatin was presented t participants in different frms, including cmputer-generated audi that sunded like a smart speaker.
The researchers were surprised that auditry recmmendatins fr prducts like beer were mre influential than textual nes. “In thery, this shuldn’t prduce any difference in behavir,” Mariadassu writes in an email. “Hearing that yu shuld drink the pale beer r reading that yu shuld drink the pale beer is really ne and the same. The fact that it leads t psychlgically different experiences that are significant enugh t lead t a change in behavir is nt smething yu wuld expect.”
The effect was small but strng enugh t demnstrate a “cnsistent effect f auditry pwer”, Mariadassu says. She believes the pwer f auditry infrmatin has t d with itsephemeralnature —“it seems like there’s this srt f fundamental need t act n infrmatin that’s ging away,” she says. Bechler agrees: “When smething disappears, it creates a kind f urgency t respnd.”
21.Why did Mariadassu and Bechler cnduct the studies?
A.T apply what they learned int real life.
B.T find ut what peple are mre intelligent.
C.T explre the reasns behind peple’s different behavirs.
D.T test if different types f messages affect recmmendatins.
22.What des paragraph 5 tell us?
A.The findings f the research.
B.The thery behind the research.
C.The applicatin f the research results.
D.The explanatin f the research prcess.
23.What des the underlined wrd “ephemeral” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Uncertain.B.Temprary.C.Selective.D.Randm.
24.What is a suitable title fr the text?
A.Effect f Auditry Pwer Has Been Lng Neglected
B.Peple Act n Auditry and Visual Infrmatin Equally
C.Effective Recmmendatins Are Better Heard Than Seen
D.Decisin-making Has Little t D With Types f Messages
【答案】21.D 22.A 23.B 24.C
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一項(xiàng)研究,研究表明提供推薦時(shí),聽覺信息比視覺信息更有影響力。
21.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“What wuld happen if yu apply this t recmmendatins? (如果你把這應(yīng)用到提供推薦中會發(fā)生什么?)”和“They believed there is “a general perceptin that peple act n auditry and visual infrmatin the same way” and wanted t explre this assumptin.(他們相信“人們對聽覺和視覺信息的反應(yīng)方式是相同的”,并希望探索這一假設(shè))”可推知,Mariadassu和Bechler的研究目的是測試不同類型的信息是否會影響提供推薦。故選D項(xiàng)。
22.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第五段中“The researchers were surprised that auditry recmmendatins fr prducts like beer were mre influential than textual nes. (研究人員感到驚訝的是,對啤酒等產(chǎn)品的聽覺推薦比文本推薦更有影響力)”可知,本段告訴我們研究的結(jié)果。故選A項(xiàng)。
23.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞下文“it seems like there’s this srt f fundamental need t act n infrmatin that’s ging away.(似乎有一種對即將消失的信息采取行動(dòng)的基本需求)”可知,信息即將消失,持續(xù)的時(shí)間很短。由此推知,劃線部分“She believes the pwer f auditry infrmatin has t d with itsephemeralnature(她認(rèn)為聽覺信息的力量與其ephemeral本性有關(guān))”其中劃線詞匯應(yīng)為“短暫的”的意思。故選B項(xiàng)。
24.主旨大意題。通讀全文,根據(jù)第一段中“Yet are all these messages created equal? Accrding t a research, the answer is n. (然而,所有這些信息都是平等的嗎?根據(jù)一項(xiàng)研究,答案是否定的)”以及第五段中“The researchers were surprised that auditry recmmendatins fr prducts like beer were mre influential than textual nes. (研究人員驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn),對啤酒等產(chǎn)品的聽覺推薦比文字推薦更有影響力)”可知,本文介紹一項(xiàng)研究,研究表明提供推薦時(shí),聽覺信息比視覺信息更有影響力。由此可知,選項(xiàng)C“有效的推薦聽起來比看起來更好”適合作本文標(biāo)題。故選C項(xiàng)。
(22·23·江西·二模)Next time yu’re having truble slving a tricky puzzle, cnsider asking a nearby bumblebee. A new study in the jurnal PLOS Bilgy finds that these humble insects can actually learn t slve puzzles frm ne anther, suggesting that even sme invertebrates(無脊椎動(dòng)物) have a capacity fr what we humans call “culture.”
“Nbdy’s really thught that invertebrates like bumblebees shw evidence f culture,” says Alice Bridges, an eclgist at Anglia Ruskin University. “Peple assume that they’re mstly driven by inbrn factrs.” Bridges set ut t prve them wrng. T study culture in bumblebees, she first drilled sme bees t slve puzzle bxes. She trained sme bees t head-butt the red switch t get the sugar water and trained thers t push the blue switch. Then, Bridges placed these tutr bees int different clnies, alng with the puzzle bxes.
It wasn’t all fun and games: Bridges gt stung multiple times and the furth sting sent her t the hspital. Bridges persevered, hwever, and the experiment ultimately played itself ut. In clnies where the tutr bee had learned t push the red switch, the ther bees usually pushed the red switch. In clnies where the tutr bee was trained t push the blue switch, their fellw bees tended t d the same. In the cntrl clnies where there were n tutrs, the bees smetimes learned hw t pen the bxes, but never as efficiently r reliably.
The cnclusin, Bridges and her clleagues reprt in their new study tday, is that bumblebees can transmit certain behavirs—culturally. “Maybe culture isn’t that unusual,” she says. “Maybe it’s nt sme pinnacle(頂峰) f cgnitin that nly a few species have.”
“Many f us cnsider urselves special because we have culture and we can learn,” says Jessica Ware, an entmlgist. “The truth is that all we have fund abut animal culture means that human culture, nce thught unique, did nt appear ‘ut f the blue’ but has bviusly built n deep evlutinary(進(jìn)化的) fundatins.”
25.Hw did the bumblebees get the sugar water frm the puzzle bxes?
A.By pressing a buttn.B.By slving wrd puzzles.
C.By bursting pen the bxes.D.By turning the bxes upside dwn.
26.What can be inferred abut the experiment?
A.It cntradicts the frmer research.B.It shws that culture is unique t humans.
C.It has received wide recgnitin.D.It has brught Bridges much truble.
27.What des the underlined phrase “ut f the blue” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Slwly.B.Suddenly.C.Endlessly.D.Regularly.
28.Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A.Can Insects Have Culture?
B.Can New Culture Be Created?
C.Hw D Bumblebees Tutr Peers?

【答案】25.A 26.D 27.B 28.A
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),該研究表明不起眼的昆蟲實(shí)際上可以相互學(xué)習(xí)解決難題,也就是說一些無脊椎動(dòng)物也有我們?nèi)祟愃^的“文化”能力。
25.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“T study culture in bumblebees, she first drilled sme bees t slve puzzle bxes. She trained sme bees t head-butt the red switch t get the sugar water and trained thers t push the blue switch.(為了研究大黃蜂的文化,她首先訓(xùn)練一些蜜蜂來解決謎題盒子。她訓(xùn)練一些蜜蜂用頭撞紅色開關(guān)來獲得糖水,訓(xùn)練其他蜜蜂按藍(lán)色開關(guān)。)”可知,蜜蜂可以通過撞開關(guān)來獲得糖水。故選A。
26.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段“It wasn’t all fun and games: Bridges gt stung multiple times and the furth sting sent her t the hspital.(這并不都是樂趣和游戲:Bridges被叮了好幾次,第四次被叮把她送進(jìn)了醫(yī)院。)”可知,實(shí)驗(yàn)給Bridges帶來了一些麻煩。故選D。
27.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞下一句“but has bviusly built n deep evlutinary(進(jìn)化的) fundatins.(而是顯然建立在深刻的進(jìn)化基礎(chǔ)之上的)”中的“but”可知此處是結(jié)構(gòu),意為“不是……而是……”,下文說的是文化是進(jìn)化而來的,即不是突然出現(xiàn)的,由此可判斷,劃線單詞指的是“突然出現(xiàn)”。選項(xiàng)A“Slwly (緩慢地)”;選項(xiàng)B“Suddenly (突然)”;選項(xiàng)C“Endlessly (不斷地)”;選項(xiàng)D“Regularly (有規(guī)律地)”。故選B。
28.主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“A new study in the jurnal PLOS Bilgy finds that these humble insects can actually learn t slve puzzles frm ne anther, suggesting that even sme invertebrates(無脊椎動(dòng)物) have a capacity fr what we humans call “culture.”(發(fā)表在《公共科學(xué)圖書館·生物學(xué)》雜志上的一項(xiàng)新研究發(fā)現(xiàn),這些不起眼的昆蟲實(shí)際上可以相互學(xué)習(xí)解決難題,這表明即使是一些無脊椎動(dòng)物也有我們?nèi)祟愃^的“文化”能力。)”以及最后一段“The truth is that all we have fund abut animal culture means that human culture, nce thught unique, did nt appear ‘ut f the blue’ but has bviusly built n deep evlutinary(進(jìn)化的) fundatins.(事實(shí)是,我們對動(dòng)物文化的所有發(fā)現(xiàn)都意味著,曾經(jīng)被認(rèn)為獨(dú)一無二的人類文化并不是“突然出現(xiàn)”的,而是顯然建立在深刻的進(jìn)化基礎(chǔ)之上的。)”可知,文章主要介紹的是昆蟲也是有文化的。所以“Can Insects Have Culture?( 昆蟲能有文化嗎?)”作為文章標(biāo)題最為合適。故選A。
(22·23下·河南·階段練習(xí))Michael Baker at the University f Trnt and Kevin Milligan at the University f British Clumbia recently analyzed survey data f parents in three cuntries — the United States, Canada and Britain. They were especially interested t see hw parents say they spend time with their children, and they turned up an interesting gender difference in what they called “teaching activities” such as teaching them the alphabet r numbers, reading with the children.
The finding surprised them because at least in a ppular view, parents suppsedly spend mre time with bys than girls. And Baker says that perceptin des tend t hld true fr lder children’s fathers tend t spend mre time with bys nce they are lder than age 4 r 5. When children are smaller, Baker says, parents spend abut the same ttal time with bys as they d with girls.
The ecnmists fcused their analysis n first-brn children in rder t see the difference clearly, fr it wuld muddy the waters t cmpare parents caring fr an nly child with parents caring fr their secnd r third child, Baker says. But they did find that the difference als shws up clearly amng twins (a by and a girl). Here again, the parents surveyed seemed t devte mre time t girls when it came t cgnitive (認(rèn)知的) activities.
The big questin, f curse, is why these differences cme abut. Milligan says parents may be fllwing cultural cncepts and uncnscius biases (偏見) that suggest they shuld read with their daughters and have active play with sns.
It is als pssible, Baker says, that the csts f investing in cgnitive activities is different when it cmes t bys and girls. As an ecnmist, he isn’t referring t cst in the sense f cash; he means cst in the sense f effrt. “It is just mre cstly t prvide a unit f reading t a by than t a girl because the by desn’t sit still, yu knw, desn’t pay attentin,” he says, “these srts f thing.”
29.What did Baker and Milligan find?
A.Parents spend mre time with girls.
B.Fathers spend mre time with bys.
C.Parents d mre cgnitive activities with girls.
D.Parents are suppsed t read mre with bys.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)父母會投入更多的時(shí)間用于女孩的認(rèn)知活動(dòng)教育,并分析了原因。
29.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的第一段“They were especially interested t see hw parents say they spend time with their children, and they turned up an interesting gender difference in what they called “teaching activities” such as teaching them the alphabet r numbers, reading with the children.”(他們特別感興趣的是了解父母如何與孩子共度時(shí)光,他們在所謂的“教學(xué)活動(dòng)”中發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)有趣的性別差異,比如教他們字母表或數(shù)字,和孩子一起閱讀)和第三段的最后一句“Here again, the parents surveyed seemed t devte mre time t girls when it came t cgnitive (認(rèn)知的) activities.”(同樣,在認(rèn)知活動(dòng)方面,接受調(diào)查的父母似乎在女孩身上投入了更多的時(shí)間)可知,父母會投入更多的時(shí)間用于女孩的認(rèn)知活動(dòng)教育。故選C。
30.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在句“The ecnmists fcused their analysis n first-brn children in rder t see the difference clearly, fr it wuld muddy the waters t cmpare parents caring fr an nly child with parents caring fr their secnd r third child, Baker says.”(貝克說,為了清楚地看到差異,經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們把分析重點(diǎn)放在頭胎上,因?yàn)榘颜疹櫔?dú)生子女的父母與照顧二胎或三胎的父母進(jìn)行比較,會muddy the waters)中連詞“fr(因?yàn)椋笨芍?,“it wuld muddy the waters”是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們把分析重點(diǎn)放在頭胎上的原因,由推知,把照顧獨(dú)生子女的父母與照顧二胎或三胎的父母進(jìn)行比較會“把事情弄得更復(fù)雜”,所以劃線短語的的意思是“把事情弄得更復(fù)雜”,與“make things mre cmplex.”意思相近。故選B。
31.主旨大意題。根據(jù)承上啟下的第四段“The big questin, f curse, is why these differences cme abut. Milligan says parents may be fllwing cultural cncepts and uncnscius biases (偏見) that suggest they shuld read with their daughters and have active play with sns.”(當(dāng)然,最大的問題是為什么會出現(xiàn)這些差異。Milligan說,父母可能遵循文化觀念和無意識的偏見,認(rèn)為他們應(yīng)該和女兒一起閱讀,和兒子一起積極玩耍)和第五段“It is als pssible, Baker says, that the csts f investing in cgnitive activities is different when it cmes t bys and girls. As an ecnmist, he isn’t referring t cst in the sense f cash; he means cst in the sense f effrt. ”(貝克說,對男孩和女孩來說,在認(rèn)知活動(dòng)上的投資成本也可能是不同的。作為一名經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家,他所指的成本并不是現(xiàn)金;他指的是付出的代價(jià))可知,這兩段主要是在探討造成這種差異的原因。故選A。
32.主旨大意題。通讀全文,結(jié)合第一段“They were especially interested t see hw parents say they spend time with their children, and they turned up an interesting gender difference in what they called “teaching activities” such as teaching them the alphabet r numbers, reading with the children.”(他們特別感興趣的是了解父母如何與孩子共度時(shí)光,他們在所謂的“教學(xué)活動(dòng)”中發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)有趣的性別差異,比如教他們字母表或數(shù)字,和孩子一起閱讀)、第三段的最后一句“Here again, the parents surveyed seemed t devte mre time t girls when it came t cgnitive (認(rèn)知的) activities.”(同樣,在認(rèn)知活動(dòng)方面,接受調(diào)查的父母似乎在女孩身上投入了更多的時(shí)間)和第四、第五段分析原因可推知,本文主要介紹了一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)父母會投入更多的時(shí)間用于女孩的認(rèn)知活動(dòng)教育,并分析了原因,所以“Girls May Get Mre Teaching Time frm Parents”(女孩可能會從父母那里得到更多的教育時(shí)間)是最佳標(biāo)題。故選C。

Six years ag, after hsting an annual ceremny fr my schl, I fund that my left leg was a little swllen, and very sn I culd barely walk. In fact, the swllen part became a fist-sized meatball that was s painful that I culd barely sleep. Of curse, I went t a lcal hspital, where I was given very bleak (不樂觀的) news-stesarcma, which means bne cancer.
I underwent chemtherapy (化療) fr the next tw years, and it was the wrst time f my life. Physically, I felt that the side effects f chemtherapy were killing me.

In additin t helping nurish (滋養(yǎng)) the lcal cmmunity, the waterbrne farm is playing a part in the glbal cnversatin abut hw the climate crisis is pushing farmers t recnsider hw—and where—they prduce fd.
Flds, extreme heating, drughts and even rising night temperatures have sent the fd system ff balance. The race t utsmart the cnstant attack f extreme weather has made the wrld f farming unrecgnizable frm what it was nly decades ag. A team f scientists in Mexic is develping wheat types that can adapt themselves t different climates, while Jack’s Slar Garden in Lngmnt, Clrad, is a testbed fr the emerging methd f slar farming.
Rtterdam has already established itself as ne f the mst climate-adaptive places in the wrld. Everything frm ffice buildings t entire neighbrhds are built n water in the city, which is 90% belw sea level. The Wingerdens’ Flating Farm was a new but necessary attempt. Shuld a weather crisis arise, a waterbrne farm isn’t necessarily stuck in place. A frmer prperty develper with a backgrund in engineering, Peter fund his inspiratin fr the Flating Farm in a climate disaster in New Yrk City, where Hurricane Sandy prevented the delivery f fresh fd t millins.
The Wingerdens’ mdel is ripe fr reprductin—which is exactly what the Flating Farm’s team f 14 are wrking n nw. Plans are under way fr a flating vegetable farm t mve int the space next t the current Flating Farm. Permit applicatins are als ut fr similar structures in Dubai, Singapre and the Dutch cities f Haarlem and Arnhem.
The new prjects will apply lessns learned frm Flating Farm. “Yu need t build a huse in rder t knw hw t build a huse,” Peter says. The biggest bstacles he sees ahead, hwever, are nt financial r physical, but rather plitical and administrative. “One f the biggest challenges we cme acrss wrldwide is regulatins. Cities need t have disruptivethinking, cities need t have disruptive departments, and cities need t have areas where yu can say: OK, this is the experimental zne.” Because what Peter and his team are pulling ff is f a different rder than the typical sustainability measures. “We are nt innvative,” he says. “We are disruptive.”

A.It is the first mdern farming attempt t fight climate change.
B.It is a mdel f new agriculture in the age f climate crisis.
C.It has utsmarted ther frms f farming like slar farming.

New research has suggested peple bsessed with Hllywd gssip and A-list celebs might nt be that smart―which will surely be a jarring revelatin fr thse wh lve tablids(八卦小報(bào))magazines.
The study, published in BMC Psychlgy late last year, claims that “there is a direct assciatin between celebrity wrship and prer perfrmance n cgnitive tests” measuring bth literacy and numeracy(計(jì)算能力).
The study asked 1,763 Hungarian adults t undertake a 30-wrd vcabulary test and a math test, befre cmpleting a “Celebrity Attitude Scale” questinnaire t determine their levels f interest in famus peple.
Researchers fund that high scres n the Celebrity Attitude Scale crrelated with lwer perfrmance n the tw cgnitive ability tests. Participants were als asked abut their incme, material wealth and levels f educatin in rder t gain the mst detailed picture pssible.
Hwever, the researchers were unable t determine whether celebrity bsessives perfrm prly n cgnitive tests because they used their brainpwer thinking abut A-listers, r whether they were bsessed with Hllywd gssip because they were already less intelligent t begin with.
In ther wrds, it’s unclear whether celebrity wrshiping is a cause r cnsequence f lw cgnitive functin.
“Future studies shuld seek further supprt fr ur suggestin that the cgnitive effrt invested in maintaining the absrptin in a favrite celebrity may interfere with the persn’s perfrmance in tasks that require attentin and ther cgnitive skills,” the researchers tld PsyPst in a recent interview. “Althugh ur research des nt prve that develping a pwerful bsessin with ne’s favrite celebrity causes ne t scre lwer n cgnitive tests, it suggests that it might be wise t carefully mnitr feelings fr them.”
While sme tablid magazine readers may feel persnally attacked by this research, flks n Twitter did nt seem shcked by the findings. “I dn’t think a study was needed t determine this,” wrte ne Twitter user. “What wrries me is that peple wh wrship celebs are nt ging t read this article ever,” anther added.

(23·24上·達(dá)州·階段練習(xí))Electrnic timing is lder than mst peple imagine and was used fr the first time mre than a hundred years ag at the 1912 Stckhlm Olympics. Initially, the well-knwn cmpany Ericssn was tasked with develping the technlgy, but it was the Swedish inventr Ragnar Carlstedt wh eventually created the final prduct.
At the same time, Carlstedt intrduced anther inventin: the finish line camera. The 1, 500-meter Olympic final was extremely clse with Arnld Jacksn frm Great Britain winning by nly 0.1 secnds. But it was impssible t decide n the silver medal since the tw Americans Abel Kiviat and Nrman Taber finished side by side. Fr the first time in histry, the utcme f an Olympic event had t be settled based n a pht finish when Kiviat was judged t be “slightly ahead”.
The significance f these tw inventins led a majr newspaper t write: “Electrnic timing at the Olympic Games. Simultaneus (同時(shí)發(fā)生的) timing and phtgraphy f cntestants. A brilliant idea!”
The next step in timekeeping was the pht-finish camera with a time stamp imprinted n each picture, which was intrduced at the 1932 Olympics in Ls Angeles. The 1948 Olympics saw the intrductin f anther inventin with the cntinuus slit camera (狹縫攝影機(jī)), where a film behind a narrw slit rlls (滾動(dòng)) with the same speed as the runners. Fur years later the clcks were cnnected t the slit camera giving a slutin f 1/100 s. But it was nt until 1972 that fficial times were recrded t the 100th f a secnd.
The next big step in the eighties was t make the camera digital t speed up the feedback (反饋). But the idea behind the slit camera was kept and is still the basis f all timing systems fr athletics used tday. The nly difference is that nw there is a very narrw sensr array ( 陣列傳感器) instead f the mving film.
After a century technlgy has reached the pint where the whle timing system can be stred in a smartphne. S in a way, the circle was clsed when SprintTimer, a sprts timer and pht finish app, was develped in the same place and precisely a hundred years after Ragnar Carlstedt.
53.What d we knw abut electrnic timing?
A.It was created in recent years.
B.It was first intrduced at the Olympics.
C.It was develped by the well-knwn cmpany Ericssn.
D.It was perfected by the Swedish inventr Ragnar Carlstedt.

【答案】53.B 54.C 55.A 56.D
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。這篇文章主要介紹了電子計(jì)時(shí)的發(fā)展歷史,特別是在奧運(yùn)會上的應(yīng)用。文章提到,最早的電子計(jì)時(shí)設(shè)備是在1912年的斯德哥爾摩奧運(yùn)會上首次使用的,同時(shí)還介紹了隨后出現(xiàn)的其他計(jì)時(shí)技術(shù)。最后,文章指出現(xiàn)代技術(shù)發(fā)展到了可以將整個(gè)計(jì)時(shí)系統(tǒng)儲存在智能手機(jī)中的階段。
53.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Electrnic timing is lder than mst peple imagine and was used fr the first time mre than a hundred years ag at the 1912 Stckhlm Olympics. (電子計(jì)時(shí)的歷史比大多數(shù)人想象的要久遠(yuǎn),100多年前,1912年斯德哥爾摩奧運(yùn)會首次使用電子計(jì)時(shí)。)”可知,100多年前,1912年斯德哥爾摩奧運(yùn)會首次使用電子計(jì)時(shí)。B選項(xiàng)“It was first intrduced at the Olympics.(它最初是在奧運(yùn)會上引入的。)”與原文信息一致。故選B。
54.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段中“At the same time, Carlstedt intrduced anther inventin: the finish line camera. (與此同時(shí),卡爾施泰特介紹了另一項(xiàng)發(fā)明:終點(diǎn)線攝像機(jī)。)”以及“Fr the first time in histry, the utcme f an Olympic event had t be settled based n a pht finish when Kiviat was judged t be “slightly ahead”.(這是歷史上第一次,奧運(yùn)會比賽的結(jié)果必須根據(jù)照片來決定,當(dāng)時(shí)基維亞特被判“略微領(lǐng)先”。)”可知,第二段中描述了奧運(yùn)會比賽中,第一次使用卡爾施泰特的另一項(xiàng)發(fā)明:終點(diǎn)線攝像機(jī)來進(jìn)行奧運(yùn)會判定,通過列舉基維亞特的例子來說明卡爾施泰特的另一項(xiàng)發(fā)明:終點(diǎn)線攝像機(jī)的重要作用。故選C。
55.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“The 1948 Olympics saw the intrductin f anther inventin with the cntinuus slit camera , where a film behind a narrw slit rlls ( 滾 動(dòng)) with the same speed as the runners.(1948年奧運(yùn)會推出了另一項(xiàng)發(fā)明,即連續(xù)狹縫相機(jī),在窄縫后面的膠卷以與運(yùn)動(dòng)員相同的速度滾動(dòng)。)”以及倒數(shù)第二段中“The next big step in the eighties was t make the camera digital t speed up the feedback . (80年代的下一個(gè)重大進(jìn)展是使相機(jī)數(shù)字化,以加快反饋。)”以及本段中“But the idea behind the slit camera was kept and is still the basis f all timing systems fr athletics used tday. The nly difference is that nw there is a very narrw sensr array instead f the mving film. (但是狹縫相機(jī)背后的想法被保留下來,并且仍然是今天用于田徑計(jì)時(shí)系統(tǒng)的基礎(chǔ)。唯一的區(qū)別是現(xiàn)在使用了非常窄的傳感器陣列,而不是移動(dòng)的膠片。)”可知,狹縫攝影機(jī)和數(shù)碼相機(jī)的區(qū)別在于,狹縫攝影機(jī)是膠卷以與運(yùn)動(dòng)員相同的速度滾動(dòng)進(jìn)行拍攝,而數(shù)碼相機(jī)不是移動(dòng)的膠片而是使用了非常窄的傳感器陣列。故選A。
56.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞前面的句子“After a century technlgy has reached the pint where the whle timing system can be stred in a smartphne.(一個(gè)世紀(jì)后,技術(shù)已經(jīng)達(dá)到了整個(gè)計(jì)時(shí)系統(tǒng)可以存儲在智能手機(jī)中的地步。)”可知,一個(gè)世紀(jì)后,整個(gè)計(jì)時(shí)系統(tǒng)存儲在了智能手機(jī)中,根據(jù)劃線詞后文的內(nèi)容“ when SprintTimer, a sprts timer and pht finish app, was develped in the same place and precisely a hundred years after Ragnar Carlstedt.( 當(dāng)時(shí)SprintTimer,一個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)計(jì)時(shí)器和照片整理應(yīng)用程序,在同一個(gè)地方被開發(fā)出來,正好是Ragnar Carlstedt100年后。)”可知,正是SprintTimer這個(gè)應(yīng)用程序?qū)崿F(xiàn)了前文的所提出的技術(shù)即將整個(gè)計(jì)時(shí)系統(tǒng)可以存儲在智能手機(jī)中,SprintTimer的出現(xiàn)恰恰實(shí)現(xiàn)了這一閉環(huán)解決了該問題,故劃線詞與D選項(xiàng)“The issue was reslved.( 問題解決了。)”為同義詞。故選D。
