1. What des the underlined wrd "smething" in the last paragraph refer t?
2. What des the underlined wrd “that” in paragraph 2 refer t?
二、實用妙招
在語篇中有時為了避免重復(fù)提及某一個詞或者短語,常常用指代詞表示,如:要求考生指出代詞it,they,ne等的指代對象。指代詞起連接語篇的作用,它能體現(xiàn)出語篇中各句子之間的邏輯關(guān)系。解題時需要做到:
1.原文定位:返回原文,找出指代詞。
2.左顧右盼:找與其最接近的名詞,名詞性詞組或句子(90%以上都是往前找答案)。
3.替換驗證:替換該指代詞,看邏輯是否通順,范圍是否一致。

Over the last seven years, mst states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range f methds t persuade peple t put dwn their phnes when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the prblem, by just abut any measure, appears t be getting wrse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using scial netwrks and taking phts. Rad accidents, which had fallen fr years, are nw rising sharply.
That is partly because peple are driving mre, but Mark Rsekind, the chief f the Natinal Highway Traffic Safety Administratin, said distracted(分心)driving was "nly increasing, unfrtunately."
"Big change requires big ideas." he said in a speech last mnth, referring bradly t the need t imprve rad safety. S t try t change a distinctly mdern behavir, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back t an ld apprach: They want t treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea frm lawmakers in New Yrk is t give plice fficers a new device called the Textalyzer. It wuld wrk like this: An fficer arriving at the scene f a crash culd ask fr the phnes f the drivers and use the Textalyzer t check in the perating system fr recent activity. The technlgy culd determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed r dne anything else that is nt allwed under New Yrk's hands-free driving laws.
"We need smething n the bks that can change peple's behavir,” said Félix W. Ortiz, wh pushed fr the state's 2001 ban n hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becmes law, he said, "peple are ging t be mre afraid t put their hands n the cell phne."
28. Which f the fllwing best describes the ban n drivers' texting in the US?
A. Ineffective.B. Unnecessary.
C. Incnsistent.D. Unfair.
29. What can the Textalyzer help a plice fficer find ut?
A. Where a driver came frm.B. Whether a driver used their phne.
C. Hw fast a driver was ging.D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
30. What des the underlined wrd "smething" in the last paragraph refer t?
A. Advice.B. Data.C. Tests.D. Laws.
31. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. T Drive r Nt t Drive? Think Befre Yu Start
B. Texting and Driving? Watch Out fr the Textalyzer
C. New Yrk Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers.
D. The Next Generatin Cell Phne: The Textalyzer-
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. B
【導(dǎo)語】本文一篇說明文。為解決司機(jī)在開車時使用手機(jī)造成“分神”,引發(fā)交通事故的問題,紐約的一名立法者提出使用Textalyzer(短信監(jiān)控器)的技術(shù)來監(jiān)控司機(jī)在開車的時候是否使用了手機(jī)。
28. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Over the last seven years, mst states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range f methds t persuade peple t put dwn their phnes when they are behind the wheel.”(在過去的七年里,大多數(shù)州都禁止司機(jī)發(fā)短信,公共服務(wù)活動也嘗試了各種各樣的方法來說服人們在開車時放下手機(jī)。)以及第二段中“Yet the prblem, by just abut any measure, appears t be getting wrse.”(然而,無論以何種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)衡量,這個問題似乎都在惡化。)可知,大多數(shù)州使用了各種各樣的方法說服司機(jī)們在開車的時候放下手機(jī),可是情況卻越來越糟糕。所以各種方法是無效的。A選項ineffective意為“無效的”,與此相符。故選A。
29. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“The technlgy culd determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed r dne anything else that is nt allwed under New Yrk's hands-free driving laws.”(這項技術(shù)可以確定司機(jī)是否發(fā)了短信、發(fā)了郵件,或者做了紐約免提駕駛法不允許的其他事情。)可知,Textalyzer能夠確定的是司機(jī)是否使用了手機(jī)發(fā)短信、郵件以及其他駕駛法不允許的行為。B 選項意為“是否司機(jī)使用了手機(jī)?!迸c此相符,故選B。
30. 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)句中的“We need smething n the bks that can change peple's behavir.”(我們需要一些能改變?nèi)藗冃袨榈臇|西,)可知,smething是能夠改變?nèi)藗兊男袨榈氖虑椤8鶕?jù)下文的“If the Textalyzer bill becmes law, he said, "peple are ging t be mre afraid t put their hands n the cell phne.”(他說,如果Textalyzer法案成為法律,“人們會更害怕拿起手機(jī)。)可知,人們的行為會改變的條件是當(dāng)Textalyzer法案成為法律。受到法律的約束和懲罰,司機(jī)們才不會在開車的時候使用手機(jī)。故smething指代的是法律。故選D。
31. 主旨大意題??v觀全文,第一段和第二段闡述的是“雖然大多數(shù)州已經(jīng)嘗試了各種各樣的方法來說服人們在開車時放下手機(jī)??墒菃栴}卻越來越嚴(yán)重”。第三段中“That is partly because peple are driving mre.”(部分原因是開車的人越來越多)可知,解釋了該行為產(chǎn)生的部分原因。第四段至第五段講述的是為了解決該問題是紐約立法者提出了一個新的想法即利用Textalyzer技術(shù),來監(jiān)控司機(jī)在開車的時候是否使用了手機(jī)。最后一段講述的是:相關(guān)人士呼吁該項技術(shù)能夠成為真正的法案由此才能真正地改變?nèi)藗兊男袨?。故B選項Texting and Driving? Watch Out fr the Textalyzer(發(fā)短信還是在開車?防范短信監(jiān)控器。)適合文章的標(biāo)題。故選B。
2.(2020·新高考卷·C篇)29題
In the mid-1990s, Tm Bissell taught English as a vlunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven mnths, physically brken and having lst his mind. A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry, he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Aral Sea.
His visit, hwever, ended up invlving a lt mre than that. Hence this bk, Chasing the Sea: Lst Amng the Ghsts f Empire in Central Asia, which talks abut a rad trip frm Tashkent t Karakalpakstan, where millins f lives have been destryed by the slw drying up f the sea. It is the stry f an American travelling t a strange land, and f the peple he meets n his way: Rustam, his translatr, a lvely 24-year-ld wh picked up his clrful English in Califrnia, Oleg and Natasha, his hsts in Tashkent, and a string f freign aid wrkers.
This is a quick lk at life in Uzbekistan, made f friendliness and warmth, but als its darker side f sciety. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wnders, while n his way t Bukhara he gets a taste f plice methds when suspected f drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a muntain funeral(葬禮)fllwed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust strms, diseases and fishing bats stuck miles frm the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully rganizes histrical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-runded picture f Uzbekistan, seen frm Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stmach. As the authr explains, this is neither a travel nr a histry bk, r even a piece f reprtage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid descriptin f the purest f Central Asian traditins.
28. What made Mr Bissell return t Uzbekistan?
A. His friends' invitatin.B. His interest in the cuntry.
C. His lve fr teaching.D. His desire t regain health.
29. What des the underlined wrd “that” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Develping a serius mental disease.
B. Taking a guided tur in Central Asia.
C. Wrking as a vlunteer in Uzbekistan.
D. Writing an article abut the Aral Sea.
30. Which f the fllwing best describes Mr Bissell's rad trip in Uzbekistan?
A. Rmantic.B. Eventful.C. Pleasant.D. Dangerus.
31. What is the purpse f this text?
A. T intrduce a bk.B. T explain a cultural phenmenn.
C. T remember a writer.D. T recmmend a travel destinatin.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. A
【分析】本文是記敘文。文章講述了Bissell寫的《追逐大海:迷失在中亞帝國的幽靈》這本書。這本書是Bissell在烏茲別克斯坦做志愿者后寫的,是對烏茲別克斯坦人生活的一個快速觀察。
28. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的”A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry. he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Ara Sea”可知,幾年后,Bissell仍然被這個國家所吸引。他回到烏茲別克斯坦寫了一篇關(guān)于咸海消失的文章。因此推斷出對這個國家的興趣讓Bissell先生再次返回烏茲別克斯坦。故選B。
29. 詞句猜測題。劃線句是第二段首句,that用來指代上文提的事情,因此推斷that指代寫了一篇關(guān)于咸海消失的文章這件事,根據(jù)第一段最后一句”A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry, he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Aral Sea(幾年后,仍然被這個國家所吸引。他回到烏茲別克斯坦寫了一篇關(guān)于咸海消失的文章)”可知,that指代寫了一篇關(guān)于死海消失的文章這件事,故選D。
30. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段”This is a quick lk at life in Uzbekistan, made f friendliness and warmth, but als its darker side f sciety. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wnders, while n his way t Bukhara he gets a taste f plice methds when suspected f drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a muntain funeral(葬禮)fllwed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust strms, diseases and fishing bats stuck miles frm the sea.”可知,在烏茲別克斯坦的旅途中,Mr Bissell既體會到了友善和溫暖,也看到了社會的黑暗面。在撒馬爾罕,Mr Bissell欣賞到了的建筑奇觀。在前往布哈拉的路上,他因為被懷疑進(jìn)行毒品交易,他嘗到了警察的伎倆。在費爾干納,他參加了一個山區(qū)葬禮,然后參加了一個奇怪的酒會。在卡拉卡爾帕克斯坦,他為沙塵暴、疾病和被困在數(shù)英里外的漁船而難過。由此可知,在旅途中,他經(jīng)歷了很多事情。結(jié)合選項,B選項(充滿事件的,多事的)可以表達(dá)此意。故選B。
31. 推理判斷題。文章第一段提到書的作者的烏茲別克斯坦之行,引出他寫的書,接下來三段講述了他的書《追逐大海:迷失在中亞帝國的幽靈》的故事內(nèi)容,是烏茲別克斯坦生活的一個快速觀察。因此推斷本文的寫作目的是介紹一本書。故選A。
3.(2020·浙江卷·B篇)25題
The traffic signals alng Factria Bulevard in Bellevue, Washingtn, generally dn't flash the same length f green twice in a rw, especially at rush hur. At 9:30am, the full red/yellw/green signal cycle might be 140 secnds. By 9:33am, a burst f additinal traffic might push it t 145 secnds. Less traffic at 9:37am culd push it dwn t 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing f the signals changes.
That is by design. Bellevue, a fast-grwing city just east f Seattle, uses a system that is gaining ppularity arund the US: intersectin(十字路口) signals that can adjust in real time t traffic cnditins. These lights, knwn as adaptive signals, have led t significant declines in bth the truble and cst f travels between wrk and hme.
“Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed, ” says Alex Stevanvic, a researcher at Flrida Atlantic University.
Fr all f Bellevue’s success, adaptive signals are nt a cure-all fr jammed radways. Kevin Balke, a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transprtatin Institute, says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial fr sme cities, thers are s jammed that nly a sharp reductin in the number f cars n the rad will make a meaningful difference. “It’s nt ging t fix everything, but adaptive signals have sme benefits fr smaller cities,” he says.
In Bellevue, the switch t adaptive signals has been a lessn in the value f welcming new appraches. In the past, there was ften an autmatic reactin t increased traffic: just widen the rads, says Mark Pch, the Bellevue Transprtatin Department’s traffic engineering manager. Nw he hpes that ther cities will cnsider making their streets run smarter instead f just making them bigger.
25. What des the underlined wrd “that” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Increased length f green lights.B. Shrtened traffic signal cycle.
C. Flexible timing f traffic signals.D. Smth traffic flw n the rad.
26. What des Kevin Balke say abut adaptive signals?
A. They wrk better n brad rads.
B. They shuld be used in ther cities.
C. They have greatly reduced traffic n the rad.
D. They are less helpful in cities seriusly jammed.
27. What can we learn frm Bellevue’s success?
A. It is rewarding t try new things.B. The ld methds still wrk tday.
C. It pays t put thery int practice.D. The simplest way is the best way.
【答案】25. C 26. D 27. A
【分析】這是一篇說明文。美國華盛頓州的Bellevue采用了能隨交通狀況而調(diào)節(jié)交通燈時間的適應(yīng)性信號燈,大大緩解了交通壓力,也表明人們對于交通阻塞問題不再只是拓寬道路,而是能夠采用新方法。
25. 指代猜測題。That位于第二段句首,應(yīng)是指代第一段的內(nèi)容。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容尤其是第一段最后一句“Just like the traffic itself, the timing f the signals changes.(就像交通本身一樣,信號燈的時間也會變化)”可知,第一段主要講述的是信號燈的時間會靈活變化;“That is by design.”意為“那是有意為之”,由此可推知,That指代第一段中“信號燈的靈活時間”。故選C項。
26. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第一句中“adaptive signals are nt a cure-all fr jammed radways(但自適應(yīng)信號并不是解決擁堵道路的萬能藥)”及第二句中“thers are s jammed that nly a sharp reductin in the number f cars n the rad will make a meaningful difference(其他城市交通堵塞如此嚴(yán)重,只有減少道路上的車輛才能起有意義的作用) ”可推知,Kevin Balke認(rèn)為適應(yīng)性信號燈對于交通堵塞很嚴(yán)重的城市沒有太大幫助。故選D項。
27. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“These lights, knwn as adaptive signals, have led t significant declines in bth the truble and cst f travels between wrk and hme.(這些燈,被稱為適應(yīng)性信號燈,已經(jīng)大大減少了通勤的麻煩和花費)”最后一段第一句“In Bellevue, the switch t adaptive signals has been a lessn in the value f welcming new appraches.(在Bellevue,對適應(yīng)性信號燈的轉(zhuǎn)變是一個在歡迎新方法的價值方面的榜樣)”可推知,從Bellevue的成功中可以得出,嘗試新事物是值得的。故選A項。

23. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由Gne Girl中的 the hrrr stry is brilliant.可知,這是一個恐怖故事。故D選項正確。
5.(2017·全國II卷·B篇)26題

When the studi didn’t want me fr the film - it wanted smebdy as well knwn as Paul — he std up fr me. I dn’t knw hw many peple wuld have dne that; they wuld have listened t their agents r the studi pwers.
The friendship that grew ut f the experience f making that film and The Sting fur years later had its rt in the fact that althugh there was an age difference, we bth came frm a traditin f theater and live TV. We were respectful f craft(技藝) and fcused n digging int the characters we were ging t play. Bth f us had the qualities and virtues that are typical f American actrs: humrus, aggressive, and making fun f each ther — but always with an underlying affectin. Thse were als at the cre(核心) f ur relatinship ff the screen.
We shared the belief that if yu’re frtunate enugh t have success, yu shuld put smething back — he with his Newman’s Own fd and his Hle in the Wall camps fr kids wh are seriusly ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each ther all that regularly, but sharing that brught us tgether. We supprted each ther financially and by shwing up at events.
I last saw him a few mnths ag. He’d been in and ut f the hspital. He and I bth knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk abut it. Ours was a relatinship that didn’t need a lt f wrds.
24. Why was the studi unwilling t give the rle t authr at first?
A. Paul Newman wanted it.
B. The studi pwers didn’t like his agent.

【分析】本文是一篇記敘文。主要講述了作者與Paul Newman之間的深厚友情。當(dāng)制片人不想讓我參演電影時,Paul Newman站出來為我說話,兩人因此而建立了深厚的友誼。在此后的很多年里,兩人一直相互扶持,相互鼓勵,因此兩人的深厚友情維系了很多年。
24. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的“When the studi didn’t want me fr the film— it wanted smebdy as well knwn as Paul”制片人不想要我,他想要當(dāng)時比較出名的演員Paul,因此,可知作者當(dāng)時還不是很有名。故選C。
25. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“Bth f us had the qualities and virtues that are typical f American actrs: humrus, aggressive, and making fun f each ther— but always with an underlying affectin. Thse were als at the cre (核心)f ur relatinship ff the screen”可知,作者與Paul之間有著相似的性格特征,這讓他們的友誼天長地久。故選D。
26. 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“We shared the brief that if yu’re frtunate enugh t have success, yu shuld put smething back”,我們都有這個信仰:如果你有幸獲得成功,你應(yīng)該有所回饋。下文“he with his Newman’s Own fd and his Hle in the Wall camps fr kids wh are seriusly ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival”是作者舉的例子,因此“sharing that brught us tgether.”that指代前面提到的信仰。故選A。
27. 主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段“I last saw him a few mnths ag. He’d been in and ut f the hspital.He and I bth knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk abut it”可知Paul已經(jīng)去世了,再結(jié)合前文“I first met Paul Newman in 1968”,可推斷作者寫文章是為了懷念這位朋友。故選B。

Sme f the wrld’s mst famus musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans t celebrate the first annual Internatinal Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Natins Educatinal, Scientific and Cultural Organizatin) recently set April 30 as a day t raise awareness f jazz music, its significance, and its ptential as a unifying(聯(lián)合) vice acrss cultures.
Despite the celebratins, thugh, in the U.S. the jazz audience cntinues t shrink and grw lder, and the music has failed t cnnect with yunger generatins.
It’s Jasn Mran’s jb t help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser fr jazz, Mran hpes t widen the audience fr jazz, make the music mre accessible, and preserve its histry and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s nt really a part f the American appetite,” Mran tells Natinal Public Radi’s reprter Neal Cnan. “What I’m hping t accmplish is that my generatin and yunger start t recnsider and understand that jazz is nt black and write anymre. It’s actually clr, and it’s actually digital.”
Mran says ne f the prblems with jazz tday is that the entertainment aspect f the music has been lst. “The music can’t be presented tday the way it was in 1908 r 1958. It has t cntinue t mve, because the way the wrld wrks is nt the same,” says Mran.
Last year, Mran wrked n a prject that arranged Fats Waller’s music fr a dance party, “Just t kind f put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is cncert music,” says Mran. “Fr me, it’s the recntextualizatin. In music, where des the emtin(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) n hw t talk abut urselves and hw smething as abstract as a Charlie Parker recrd gets us int a dialgue abut ur emtins and ur thughts? Smetimes we lse sight that the music has a wider cntext,” says Mran, “s I want t cntinue thse dialgues. Thse are the things I want t fster.”
28. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as Internatinal Jazz Day?
A. T remember the birth f jazz.
B. T prtect cultural diversity.
C. T encurage peple t study music.
D. T recgnize the value f jazz.
29. What des the underlined wrd “that” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Jazz becming mre accessible.
B. The prductin f jazz grwing faster.
C. Jazz being less ppular with the yung.
D. The jazz audience becming larger.
30. What can we infer abut Mran’s pinin n jazz?
A. It will disappear gradually.
B. It remains black and white.
C. It shuld keep up with the times.
D. It changes every 50 years.
31. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Explring the Future f Jazz.
B. The Rise and Fall f Jazz.
C. The Stry f a Jazz Musician.
D. Celebrating the Jazz Day.

【分析】本文是一篇說明文。主要講述UNESCO把4月30號定為國際爵士樂日,希望意識到爵士樂的價值,但實際收效甚微。
28. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的UNESCO(United Natins Educatinal, Scientific and Cultural Organizatin) recently set April 30 as a day t raise awareness f jazz music, its significance, and its ptential as a unifying(聯(lián)合) vice acrss cultures.可知,UNESCO把4月30號定為國際爵士樂日是為了讓人們重視爵士樂,意識到它的重要性以及它作為連接各文化的紐帶之聲的潛在功能,也就是為了讓人們意識到爵士樂的價值。故選D。
29. 代詞指代題。根據(jù)前文Despite the celebratins, thugh, in the U.S. the jazz audience cntinues t shrink and grw lder, and the music has failed t cnnect with yunger generatins可知,盡管UNESCO為爵士樂設(shè)了紀(jì)念日,但美國的爵士樂聽眾依然在減少,并且年齡在老化,爵士樂沒能將年輕一代人連接起來。再結(jié)合It’s Jasn Mran’s jb t help change that(是Jasn Mran的工作是幫助改變那一情況)可推測,that指代的是前文中爵士樂在年輕一代人中失去吸引力的現(xiàn)象。故選C。
30. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中的The music can’t be presented tday the way it was in 1908 r 1958. It has t cntinue t mve, because the way the wrld wrks is nt the same可知,Mran認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在爵士樂不能 以1908或1958年的方式來呈現(xiàn),因為世界已經(jīng)不同了,所以爵士樂必須不斷進(jìn)步,說明隨著時代的 發(fā)展,爵士樂也要跟上時代才不會被年輕一代所拋棄。故選C。
31. 標(biāo)題選擇題。通讀全文可知本文主要講UNESCO為提高人們對爵士樂的重視而設(shè)立爵士日, 但實際收效甚微。有人認(rèn)為爵士樂應(yīng)隨著時代的進(jìn)步而進(jìn)步,否則將失去對人們的吸引力,因此本文主要是探索爵士樂的未來,故選A。

(19·20下·合肥·階段練習(xí))On Saturday 24 August 1918, it was raining cats and dgs and thundering ver a city called Sunderland n the nrtheast cast f England. The strm lasted fr nly abut ten minutes. Peple were surprised t see that it was nt just rainwater falling frm the sky. There were fish falling dwn, t! Peple came ut t find ut what was happening. They culd nt believe their wn eyes. There were thusands f fish—sand eels (沙鰻)—lying n the grund. They were abut seven centimeters lng, and all were frzen slid (凍成硬塊).
Sand eels swim tgether in large grups, ften in sandy water, and are ften fund in large numbers in the Nrth Sea, which reaches ut t the east f Sunderland. Hw was it pssible fr these sand eels t fall frm the sky and land n Sunderland?
Scientists believed the heavy thunderstrm that afternn may have caused a watersput (水龍卷). Watersputs can be frmed when strng winds mve quickly in a circle ver water. They are s pwerful that anything less than ne meter in length can be taken int them and frced int the cluds. The cluds carry whatever has been taken int them fr lng distances —smetimes ver 150 kilmeters. It’s very cld up there and everything sn freezes slid.
Fr hundreds f years there have been reprts f small animals being taken int the sky thrugh watersputs. In 2009, dead tadples rained dwn n the city f Nana in Japan. In 2012, fifty kils f prawns fell frm the sky ver Sri Lanka. In 2017, fish fell n the castal city f Tampic in Mexic.
It must be a very strange experience t see fish raining dwn n yu. It wuld prbably hurt if ne fell n yur head! With climate (氣候) change and many reprts f terrible strms, will the time ever cme when it may really begin t rain cats and dgs?

(23·24上·浙江·期中)It’s well knwn that weightlifting can strengthen ur muscles. Nw, there’s increasing evidence that strengthening the muscles we use t breathe is beneficial t. New research shws that daily muscle training helps prmte heart health and reduces high bld pressure.
“The muscles we use t breathe tend t shrink as we get lder,” explains researcher Daniel, a physilgist at the University f Clrad Bulder. T test what happens when these muscles are given a gd wrkut, he and his clleagues recruited healthy vlunteers aged 18 t 82 t try a daily five-minute technique using a resistance-breathing training device. When peple breathe int it, the device prvides resistance, making it harder t breathe. “We fund that ding 30 breaths per day fr six weeks lwers bld pressure by abut 9 mmHg,” Daniel says. Accrding t Jyner, a physician at the May Clinic wh studies hw the nervus system regulates bld pressure, that is the type f reductin with a bld pressure drug.
S, hw exactly des breath training lwer bld pressure? Daniel pints t the rle f endthelial (內(nèi)皮的) cells, which help widen ur bld vessels (血管) and prmte gd bld flw. “What we fund was that six weeks f the training will increase endthelial l functin by abut 45%,”Daniel explains.
The new study builds n a previus study and adds t the evidence that the training is beneficial fr adults f all ages. Befre the results came in, Daniel had suspected that yung, health y adults might nt benefit as much. “But we saw strng effects,” Daniel says, pinting t a significant decline in bld pressure fr participants f all ages. He says the finding suggests the training culd help healthy yung peple prevent heart disease and the rise in bld pressure that tends t ccur with aging.
The technique is nt intended t replace exercise, he cautins, r t replace medicine fr peple with high bld pressure. Instead, Daniel says, “it wuld be a gd additinal preventin fr peple wh are ding ther healthy lifestyle appraches already.”
14. Wh was mst likely t be a vlunteer in the study?
A. An adult wrking nearby.B. A pupil frm a lcal schl.

(23·24上·濟(jì)寧·期中)Nature is ne f the greatest surces f inspiratin fr engineers and cmputer scientists t develp new technlgical tls. Over the past decade r s, rbticists have develped cuntless rbts inspired by the behavir and bilgical mechanisms f snakes, fish, birds, insects and cuntless ther animals.
Researchers at Beijing Institute f Technlgy recently designed a new bi-inspired rbt that can maintain its balance using tail-like mechanism. The rbt is made up f a main bdy, tw wheels and the tail-inspired cmpnent, which is cntrlled by an adaptive cntrller that allws it t turn in different directins within an area parallel (平行的) t the rbt’s wheels. The specific patters that are designed t increase the rbt’s stability are calculated using the s-called Lyapunv stability therem, which is a theretical cnstruct that describes the stability f dynamic systems.
Mst existing appraches t balancing vehicles with tw wheels wrk by cllecting a vehicle’s bdy height data using an inertial (慣性的) measurement unit (IMU), which is an electrnic device that can measure a specific frce acting n a bdy r bject. Cnventinal appraches prcess the data cllected by an IMU device and then carry ut balancing strategies accrdingly, typically by adjusting its tilt (傾斜的) angle.
While many f these appraches achieved satisfactry results, the design put frward by this team f researchers intrduces a practical alternative that des nt invlve adjusting the rbt’s tilt angle. It is ne f the few existing techniques that are inspired by the tails f animals, t enhance a wheeled rbt’s balance while cnsidering uncertainty in the envirnment.
The researchers evaluated the effectiveness f the tail-like rbtic mechanism in a series f tests. Their findings were very prmising. as when the rbt lst its balance in the tested envirnment, the artificial “tail” was able t re-balance it within n mre than 3.5 secnds.
In the future, this tail-like mechanism culd be adapted t enhance the stability and balance f ther existing r newly develped rbts. In additin, the findings gathered as part f this study culd inspire ther rbticists t design similar tail-like cmpnents.

18. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“Researchers at Beijing Institute f Technlgy recently designed a new bi-inspired rbt that can maintain its balance using tail-like mechanism. The rbt is made up f a main bdy, tw wheels and the tail-inspired cmpnent, which is cntrlled by an adaptive cntrller that allws it t turn in different directins within an area parallel (平行的) t the rbt’s wheels.(北京理工大學(xué)的研究人員最近設(shè)計了一種新的仿生機(jī)器人,它可以使用尾巴狀的機(jī)制來保持平衡。該機(jī)器人由一個主體、兩個輪子和由自適應(yīng)控制器控制的尾翼組件組成,該控制器允許它在與機(jī)器人輪子平行的區(qū)域內(nèi)向不同方向轉(zhuǎn)動。)”可知,該機(jī)器人可以使用尾巴狀的機(jī)機(jī)制來保持平衡。故選C。
19. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段“Mst existing appraches t balancing vehicles with tw wheels wrk by cllecting a vehicle’s bdy height data using an inertial (慣性的) measurement unit (IMU), which is an electrnic device that can measure a specific frce acting n a bdy r bject. Cnventinal appraches prcess the data cllected by an IMU device and then carry ut balancing strategies accrdingly, typically by adjusting its tilt (傾斜的) angle.(多數(shù)現(xiàn)有的平衡兩輪車輛的方法是通過使用慣性測量單元(IMU)收集車輛的車身高度數(shù)據(jù),這是一種可以測量作用在身體或物體上的特定力的電子設(shè)備。傳統(tǒng)的方法是處理IMU設(shè)備收集的數(shù)據(jù),然后相應(yīng)地執(zhí)行平衡策略,通常是通過調(diào)整其傾斜角度。)”以及第四段“While many f these appraches achieved satisfactry results, the design put frward by this team f researchers intrduces a practical alternative that des nt invlve adjusting the rbt’s tilt angle. It is ne f the few existing techniques that are inspired by the tails f animals, t enhance a wheeled rbt’s balance while cnsidering uncertainty in the envirnment.(雖然許多方法都取得了令人滿意的結(jié)果,但該研究小組提出的設(shè)計引入了一種實用的替代方案,不需要調(diào)整機(jī)器人的傾斜角度。這是為數(shù)不多的受動物尾巴啟發(fā)的現(xiàn)有技術(shù)之一,可以在考慮環(huán)境不確定性的情況下增強(qiáng)輪式機(jī)器人的平衡性。)”可知,第三段和第四段將該機(jī)器人保持平衡的方法和現(xiàn)有的其他機(jī)器人保持平衡的方式進(jìn)行比較。故選D。
20. 詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞上文“The researchers evaluated the effectiveness f the tail-like rbtic mechanism in a series f tests. Their findings were very prmising. as when the rbt lst its balance in the tested envirnment(研究人員在一系列測試中評估了這種尾巴狀機(jī)器人機(jī)制的有效性。他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)非常有希望。當(dāng)機(jī)器人在測試環(huán)境中失去平衡時,)”以及劃線單詞前的“the artificial “tail” was able t re-balance(人造“尾巴”能夠重新平衡……)”可知,劃線單詞“it”指的是機(jī)器人。故選B。
21. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“In the future, this tail-like mechanism culd be adapted t enhance the stability and balance f ther existing r newly develped rbts. In additin, the findings gathered as part f this study culd inspire ther rbticists t design similar tail-like cmpnents.(在未來,這種類似尾巴的機(jī)制可以用來增強(qiáng)其他現(xiàn)有或新開發(fā)的機(jī)器人的穩(wěn)定性和平衡性。此外,作為這項研究的一部分,收集到的發(fā)現(xiàn)可以啟發(fā)其他機(jī)器人專家設(shè)計類似的尾巴狀部件。)”可知,最后一段主要講述了該研究未來的可能運用。故選B。

(23·24上·煙臺·期中)Fr sharks, the Mesamerican Reef, which stretches ver 600 miles, is a busy highway. Sharks use it t find their way and it prvides them with fd and habitat.
But as with n-land highways, this superhighway can be dangerus. Overfishing, cmmercial develpment and illegal practices are endangering the species. “We’re seeing a cntinued decline in shark ppulatins. Our gal is t turn that rund.” says Rachel Graham, funder f Mar Alliance, a nn-prfit rganizatin fcused n cnserving sharks.
By mnitring sharks, Mar Alliance can cllect imprtant knwledge n the species t help infrm cnservatin and push fr plitical actin. But rather than acting in ppsitin t the lcal fishing cmmunity, MarAlliance enlists their help.
“They are the nes wh are n the sea every single day,” says Graham, “and they’re the nes wh decide the species’ future.”
MarAlliance emplys up t 60 fishermen acrss its range, mstly n a prject basis, training them t cllect data, recrd and release fish. Nt nly des this prvide an alternative incme t fishing cmmunities, making them less dependent n natural resurces, but it als teaches them abut the benefits f a healthy cean ecsystem and hw t fish sustainably.
Amng them, Ivan Trres, wh used t catch sharks t sell lcally as fd, has learned hw critical they’re t the whle ecsystem, saying he’d never fish sharks any mre.
If this attitude change cntinues t spread thrughut fishing cmmunities, Graham has hpe fr the shark ppulatins. “The primary threat t sharks is unquestinably verfishing,” she says, “By refrming the industry, ppulatins can bunce back.”
In 2020, Belize utlawed the use f gillnets, large panels f netting f trapping large sealife. The ban’s impact is already nticeable with a recrded 10-fld increase in shark ppulatins.
But such regulatins need t be cpied alng the whle superhighway fr lng-lasting impact, and cuntries need t find a sustainable balance between fishers and the fished. “We need t find a win-win strategy between fisher livelihds and shark survival,” Graham emphasizes. “I hpe that thrugh educatin and prviding an ecnmic alternative fr fishing cmmunities, MarAlliance will help ensure safe passage fr sharks alng the reef”.
26. Which f the fllwing best describes the Mesamerican Reef fr sharks?
A. Rmantic but messy.B. Vital but insecure.
C. Adventurus but beautiful.D. Unfamiliar but reliable.

In a new study, scientists analyzed bld samples frm 22 healthy dnatrs and fund micrplastics in 17. Half the samples cntained PET plastic, which is cmmnly used in drinks bttles, while a third cntained plystyrene, which is used fr packaging fd and ther prducts. A quarter f the bld samples cntaincd plyethylene, frm which plastic carrier bags are made.
“Previus wrk had shwn that micrplastics were 10 times higher in the faeces (糞便) f babies cmpared with adults and that babies fed with plastic bttles are swallwing millins f micrplastic particles (微粒) a day. We als knw in general that babies are mre sensitive t chemical and particle expsure,” said Prf Dick Vethaak, a scientist at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.“That wrries me a lt.”
The new research adapted existing techniques t detect and analyze particles as small as 0.0007mm. Sme f the bld samples cntained tw r three types f plastic. The team used steel syr?nge needles and glass tubes t avid pllutin and tested fr backgrund levels f micrplastics using blank samples.
Vethaak acknwledged that the amunt and type f plastic varied cnsiderably between the bld samples.“But this is a pineering study,”he said, with mre wrk nw necded. He said the differences might reflect shrt-term expsure befre the bld samples were taken, such as drinking frm a plastic-lined cffee cup r wearing a plastic face mask.
A recent study fund that micrplastics can attach t the uter membranes(膜) f red bld cells and may limit their ability t transprt xygen. The particles have als been fund in the placentas f pregnant wmen.
“Arc the particles preserved in the bdy? Are they transprted t certain rgans?

37. 主旨大意題。通讀全文,并根據(jù)最后一段“Thugh Burning Man has taken measures t make the festival greener, sme prtesters (抗議者) are pinting ut that it’s simply nt enugh. Burning Man as a phenmenn has clearly reached a crssrads. Given the real envirnmental impacts that it has year after year, it might be time fr rganizers and cmmunity members t rethink hw the festival cntinues ging frward.(盡管Burning Man節(jié)已經(jīng)采取措施使節(jié)日更加環(huán)保,但一些抗議者指出,這還遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠。Burning Man節(jié)作為一種現(xiàn)象,顯然已經(jīng)走到了十字路口??紤]到它年復(fù)一年對環(huán)境的真正影響,組織者和社區(qū)成員可能是時候重新思考節(jié)日如何繼續(xù)向前發(fā)展了)”可知,文章介紹了在一年一度的Burning Man節(jié)上的大雨以及由此聯(lián)想到的Burning Man節(jié)給當(dāng)?shù)厣鷳B(tài)以及環(huán)保方面帶來的問題,并在文章末段指出“組織者和社區(qū)成員可能是時候重新思考節(jié)日如何繼續(xù)向前發(fā)展了。”由此推斷A 選項“是時候重新思考Burning Man節(jié)”可以作為最佳標(biāo)題。故選A項。

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了Gergie年輕時曾經(jīng)夢想成為一名服裝設(shè)計師。她的這一夢想多年后被自己的孫女Julia偶然發(fā)現(xiàn),從而得以夢想成真。
42. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Nnetheless, she decided t take it upn herself t make Grandma’s ld designer dreams cme alive. (盡管如此,她還是決定自己承擔(dān)責(zé)任,讓奶奶的設(shè)計師夢想成真。)”可知,Julia的奶奶年輕時的夢想是成為一名服裝設(shè)計師。故選B。
43. 詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中“She ntes that she desn’t always fllw her “grandma sketch”, as what lks gd n paper might nt translate nt the bdy. (她指出,她并不總是遵循她的“奶奶草圖”,因為在紙上看起來不錯的東西可能無法轉(zhuǎn)化為身體上。)”可知,Julia根據(jù)實際需要對奶奶設(shè)計的時裝圖案做了一些改動,而且奶奶鼓勵這件事。故選C。

45. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Nnetheless, she decided t take it upn herself t make Grandma’s ld designer dreams cme alive. (盡管如此,她還是決定自己承擔(dān)責(zé)任,讓奶奶的設(shè)計師夢想成真。)”和最后一段““Lts f peple wh are lder and watch my vides say they lve seeing smene yunger appreciate smething frm their generatin,” she said. “And then yunger peple see it and maybe they lst their grandparents, and they say seeing my vides reminds them f their grandparents,” said Julia. (她說:“很多看我視頻的老年人說,他們喜歡看到年輕人欣賞他們這一代的東西。”茱莉亞說:“然后年輕人看到它,也許他們失去了祖父母,他們說看到我的視頻讓他們想起了他們的祖父母?!?”可知,Julia想辦法讓奶奶的夢想成真,而且她的創(chuàng)作讓很多人欣慰,故她是有愛心的。根據(jù)第三段“Using material leftver frm her grandmther’s cllectin f utdated fabrics, Julia has sewn many f the dresses Gergie envisined. She ntes that she desn’t always fllw her “grandma sketch”, as what lks gd n paper might nt translate nt the bdy. “Grandma encurages that,” Julia explains.
