怎樣理解段落及文章整體的主旨大意
——主題句定位法
文章是由段落組成的。段落是發(fā)展一個(gè)主題的一群句子,段落圍繞著中心思想展開(kāi),而段落的中心思想又是為文章整體的中心思想服務(wù)的。尋找具體段落的中心思想的方法是:通過(guò)分析篇章結(jié)構(gòu),找出每小段的主題句,通過(guò)主題句找出文章的主題。找準(zhǔn)文章的主題句是確定文章主旨大意的關(guān)鍵。主題是文章要表達(dá)的中心思想,文章的主題句通常都有一個(gè)話題,它是文章的核心?!爸黝}句定位法”是一種行之有效的方法。
但是由于文章的不同,表現(xiàn)的手法也各有不同,主題句出現(xiàn)的位置也不是一成不變的。在許多情況下,尤其在閱讀說(shuō)明文和議論文時(shí),根據(jù)其篇章特點(diǎn)我們可以通過(guò)尋找短文的主題句來(lái)歸納出文章的主題。主題句在文章中的位置通常有三種情況:開(kāi)頭、中間、結(jié)尾(含在開(kāi)頭結(jié)尾同時(shí)出現(xiàn)、首尾呼應(yīng)的主題句)。因此,仔細(xì)閱讀這類文章或段落的首尾句是關(guān)鍵。做主旨大意類試題多采用瀏覽法(skimming),瀏覽時(shí),一般不需逐句細(xì)讀,只選讀文章的首段、尾段,或每段的首句和尾句,重點(diǎn)搜索主題線索和主題信息。
文章主題常??梢酝ㄟ^(guò)文章的寫作方法來(lái)體現(xiàn),有以下五種情況:
1. 中心主題句出現(xiàn)在文首
開(kāi)門見(jiàn)山,提出主題,隨之用細(xì)節(jié)來(lái)解釋、支撐或發(fā)展主題句所表達(dá)的主題思想。這是英語(yǔ)中最常見(jiàn)的演繹法寫作方式,即由一般到特殊,先提出觀點(diǎn),后舉例論證,主題句則出現(xiàn)在段首的寫作方法。
新聞報(bào)道通常就采用這種寫法。新聞報(bào)道的首句通常稱為“新聞導(dǎo)語(yǔ)”,“導(dǎo)語(yǔ)”實(shí)際上就是主題句,是對(duì)全文內(nèi)容的高度概括。大意題、標(biāo)題一般可在第一句話找到答題依據(jù)。

(新課標(biāo)III卷,C) With the yung unable t affrd t leave hme and the ld at risk f islatin(孤獨(dú)), mre families are chsing t live tgether.
The drway t peace and quiet, fr Nick Bright at least, leads straight t his mther-in-law, she lives n the grund flr, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their tw daughters.
Fur years ag they all mved int a three-strey Victrian huse in Bristl - ne f a grwing number f multigeneratinal families in the UK living tgether under the same rf. They share a frnt dr and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her wn kitchen, bathrm, bedrm and living rm n the grund flr.
“We flated the idea t my mum f sharing at a huse,” says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in: “We spke mre with Nick because I think it’s a big thing fr Nick t live with his mther-in-law.”
And what des Nick think? “Frm my standpint, it all seems t wrk very well. Wuld I recmmend it? Yes, I think I wuld.”
It’s hard t tell exactly hw many peple agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising fr sme time. Official reprts suggest that the number f husehlds with three generatins living tgether had risen frm 325,000 in 2001t 419,000 in 2013.
Other varieties f multigeneratinal family are mre cmmn. Sme peple live with their elderly parents; many mre adult children are returning t the family hme, if they ever left. It is said that abut 20% f 25-34-year-lds live with their parents, cmpared with 16% in 1991.The ttal number f all multigeneratinal husehlds in Britain is thught t be abut 1.8 millin.
Stries like that are mre cmmn in parts f the wrld where multigeneratinal living is mre firmly rted. In India, particularly utside cities, yung wmen are expected t mve in with their husband’s family when they get married.
31.What is the text mainly abut?
A.Lifestyles in different cuntries.B.Cnflicts between generatins.
C.A husing prblem in Britain.D.A rising trend f living in the UK.
【答案】31.D
【解析】31.主旨大意題。通讀全文,尤其根據(jù)第一段“With the yung unable t affrd t leave hme and the ld at risk f islatin(孤獨(dú)), mre families are chsing t live tgether.”可知,由于年輕人負(fù)擔(dān)不起離家的費(fèi)用,而老年人又面臨著被孤立的風(fēng)險(xiǎn),越來(lái)越多的家庭選擇住在一起。所以短文主要是關(guān)于英國(guó)生活方式的一種上升趨勢(shì)。故選D項(xiàng)。
2. 主題句出現(xiàn)在文尾
在細(xì)節(jié)后,歸納要點(diǎn)、印象、結(jié)論、建議或結(jié)果,以概括主題。這是英語(yǔ)中最常見(jiàn)的歸納法寫作方式,即細(xì)節(jié)表述的句子在前,概括性的句子居后,主題句則常位于末段。

(新課標(biāo)I卷,D) The cnnectin between peple and plants has lng been the subject f scientific research. Recent studies have fund psitive effects. A study cnducted in Yungstwn,Ohi,fr example, discvered that greener areas f the city experienced less crime. In anther,emplyees were shwn t be 15% mre prductive when their wrkplaces were decrated with huseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual cmpsitin f plants in rder t get them t perfrm diverse,even unusual functins. These include plants that have sensrs printed nt their leaves t shw when they’re shrt f water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in grundwater. "We’re thinking abut hw we can engineer plants t replace functins f the things that we use every day,"explained Michael Stran, a prfessr f chemical engineering at MIT.
One f his latest prjects has been t make plants glw(發(fā)光)in experiments using sme cmmn vegetables. Stran’s team fund that they culd create a faint light fr three-and-a-half hurs. The light,abut ne-thusandth f the amunt needed t read by,is just a start. The technlgy, Stran said, culd ne day be used t light the rms r even t turn trees int self-pwered street lamps.
In the future,the team hpes t develp a versin f the technlgy that can be sprayed nt plant leaves in a ne-ff treatment that wuld last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are als trying t develp an n and ff"switch"where the glw wuld fade when expsed t daylight.

A.Can we grw mre glwing plants?
B.Hw d we live with glwing plants?
C.Culd glwing plants replace lamps?
D.Hw are glwing plants made pllutin-free?
【答案】35.C
【解析】35.主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段中Lighting accunts fr abut 7%f the ttal electricity cnsumed in the US. Since lighting is ften far remved frm the pwer surce-such as the distance frm a pwer plant t street lamps n a remte highway-a lt f energy is lst during transmissin. Glwing plants culd reduce this distance and therefre help save energy.可知照明約占美國(guó)總耗電量的7%。由于照明通常遠(yuǎn)離電源,例如從發(fā)電廠到偏僻公路上路燈的距離,在傳輸過(guò)程中會(huì)損失大量能源。發(fā)光的植物可以縮短這段距離,從而幫助節(jié)約能源。結(jié)合文章主要說(shuō)明了綠色植物對(duì)人們很有好處,因此麻省理工學(xué)院的工程師開(kāi)發(fā)了一種發(fā)光植物,文章介紹了他們發(fā)明這種植物的過(guò)程,以及這種植物的一些優(yōu)勢(shì),指出在未來(lái)發(fā)光植物有可能取代路燈,達(dá)到節(jié)約能源的作用。由此可知,C選項(xiàng)“發(fā)光的植物能取代路燈嗎?”最符合文章標(biāo)題。故選C。

【答案】D
【解析】作者先后兩次提到“長(zhǎng)曲棍球在加拿大很受歡迎”,顯然選項(xiàng)D最符合短文的主題。
4. 中心主題隱含在全文之中,沒(méi)有明確的主題句
閱讀這樣的文章,就要求考生根據(jù)文章的細(xì)節(jié)來(lái)分析,概括出段落的主題,從而推導(dǎo)出文章的主旨。分析的方法是,先弄清該段落主要講了哪幾個(gè)方面的內(nèi)容,這些內(nèi)容在邏輯上有什么聯(lián)系,然后加以歸納形成主題。該類型的試題則迎刃而解。

怎樣給閱讀文章整體加注標(biāo)題
——高度概括法
對(duì)文章主旨大意的考察,不僅可以直接以理解段落及文章的主旨大意的形式出現(xiàn),而且也可以用選擇或擬定文章標(biāo)題的形式出現(xiàn)。因此,選擇文章標(biāo)題,首先可以按照主旨大意的確定方式,先弄清文章的主旨大意,再定標(biāo)題。
標(biāo)題位于文章之首,用來(lái)高度概括文章內(nèi)容,點(diǎn)明文章主題。它是段落中心思想最精練的表達(dá)形式。標(biāo)題可幫助讀者迅速推測(cè)出整篇文章的主要內(nèi)容,抓住文章的中心,把握作者的觀點(diǎn)和意圖。那么如何選擇文章的標(biāo)題呢?
首先,要考慮標(biāo)題對(duì)文章的概括性或覆蓋面如何。一般要求能覆蓋全文內(nèi)容,體
現(xiàn)文章主旨。要避免下列三種情況:①概括不夠(多表現(xiàn)為部分代整體,從而導(dǎo)致范圍太?。虎谶^(guò)度概括(多表現(xiàn)為脫離本文章內(nèi)容的發(fā)揮);③以事實(shí)、細(xì)節(jié)替代抽象具體的大意。
其次,要考慮標(biāo)題的針對(duì)性,即標(biāo)題范圍要恰當(dāng),針對(duì)性強(qiáng)。要在閱讀原文的基礎(chǔ)上,
仔細(xì)考慮所選標(biāo)題與文章主題是否有密切的關(guān)系。既不能太大,也不能太小,太大則中心就不突出,太小也發(fā)揮不了應(yīng)起的作用;精確度高,不能隨意改變語(yǔ)言的表意程度及色彩。它可以是單詞、短語(yǔ),也可以是句子。
再次要注意標(biāo)題的醒目性,標(biāo)題的選擇要簡(jiǎn)潔、突出、新穎,標(biāo)題是文章的點(diǎn)睛之筆,是文章的靈魂和門面。標(biāo)題的好壞往往影響了文章的可讀性,讀者常常從標(biāo)題上決定文章的閱讀取舍。故標(biāo)題一般比較醒目,甚至比較離奇,以此來(lái)吸引讀者對(duì)文章的興趣。
最后要注意,要恰當(dāng)?shù)剡x好標(biāo)題,還需要了解標(biāo)題的基本擬定方法。一般說(shuō)來(lái),擬定標(biāo)題是以話題為核心,與控制性概念的詞按一定的語(yǔ)法濃縮為概括主題句或中心思想的詞組。比如某一文章的中心句為:CHINA issued the first set f stamps depicting the tp 128 Chinese family names n Thursday Nv. 18th 2004 in Beijing.
話題:Stamps
控制性概念:CHINA issued the first set f stamps depicting the tp 128 Chinese family names
標(biāo)題:China issued 1st set f stamps n family names

When “Rise f the Planet f the Apes” was first shwn t the public last mnth, a grup f excited animal activists gathered n Hllywd Bulevard. But they weren’t there t thrw red paint n fur-cat-wearing film stars. Instead, ne activist, dressed in a full-bdy mnkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers: “Thanks fr nt using real apes (猿)!”
The creative team behind “Apes” used mtin-capture (動(dòng)作捕捉) technlgy t create digitalized animals, spending tens f millins f dllars n technlgy that recrds an actr’s perfrmance and later prcesses it with cmputer graphics t create a final image (圖像). In this case, ne f a realistic-lking ape.
Yet “Apes” is mre exceptin than the rule. In fact, Hllywd has been ht n live animals lately.

Passage2浙江省高考英語(yǔ)試卷(1月)
Tday's wrld is nt an easy adjustment fr yung adults. Key skill set fr success is persistence (毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers frm Brigham Yung University discvered that fathers are in a unique psitin t help their adlescent children learn persistence.
BYU prfessrs Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after fllwing 325 American families ver several years. And ver time,the persistence gained thrugh fathers led t higher achievement in schl.
"There are relatively few studies that stress the unique rle f fathers,"Padilla-Walker said. "This research als helps t prve that characteristics such as persistence-which can be taught-are key t a child's life success.”
Researchers determined that dads need t practice an "authritative" parenting style. Authritative parenting is nt authritarian:rigid,demanding r cntrlling. Rather,an authritative parenting style includes sme f the fllwing characteristics:children feel warmth and lve frm their father;respnsibility and the reasns behind rules are stressed children are given an apprpriate level f autnmy(自主權(quán)).
In the study,abut 52 percent f the dads exhibited abve-average levels f authritative parenting. A key finding is that ver time,children raised by an authritative father were significantly mre likely t develp persistence,which leads t better utcmes in schl.
This particular study examined 11 t 14-year-lds living in tw-parent hmes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a rle in teaching the benefits f persistence,which is an avenue f future research.
27.What is special abut the BYU prfessrs' study?
A.It centered n fathers' rle in parenting.
B.It was based n a number f large families.
C.It analyzed different kinds f parenting styles.
D.It aimed t imprve kids' achievement in schl.
28.What wuld an authritative father d when raising his children?
A.Ignre their demands.B.Make decisins fr them.
C.Cntrl their behavirs.D.Explain the rules t them.
29.Which grup can be a fcus f future studies accrding t the researchers?

Passage3(全國(guó)卷III,D)
We are the prducts f evlutin, and nt just evlutin that ccurred billins f years ag. As scientists lk deeper int ur genes (基因), they are finding examples f human evlutin in just the past few thusand years. Peple in Ethipian highlands have adapted t living at high altitudes. Cattle -raising peple in East Africa and nrthern Eurpe have gained a mutatin (突變) that helps them digest milk as adults.
On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team f researchers reprted a new kind f adaptatin - nt t air r t fd, but t the cean. A grup f sea-dwelling peple in Sutheast Asia have evlved int better divers. The Bajau, as these peple are knwn, number in the hundreds f thusands in Indnesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditinally lived n husebats; in recent times, they’ve als built huses n stilts (支柱) in castal waters. “They are simply a stranger t the land,” said Redney C.Jubilad, a University f Hawaii researcher wh studies the Bajau.
Dr. Jubilad first met the Bajau while grwing up n Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing r harvesting shellfish. “We were s amazed that they culd stay underwater much lnger than us lcal islanders,” Dr. Jubilad said. “I culd see them actually walking under the sea.”
In2015, Melissa Ilard, then a graduate student in genetics at the University f Cpenhagen, heard abut the Bajau. She wndered if centuries f diving culd have led t the evlutin f physical characteristics that made the task easier fr them. “it seemed like the perfect chance fr natural selectin t act n a ppulatin,” said Dr. Ilard.

Passage4普通高等學(xué)校招生全國(guó)統(tǒng)一考試(天津卷)(7月)
Fr peple, wh are interested in sund, the field f sund technlgy is definitely making nise. In the past, sund engineers wrked in the back rms f recrding studis, but many f tday’s sund prfessinals are sharing their knwledge and experience with prfessinals in ther fields t create new prducts based n the phenmenn we call sund.
Sund can be used as a weapn. Imagine that a plice fficer is chasing a thief. The thief tries t escape. And the fficer can’t let him get away. He pulls ut a special device, pints it at the suspect, and switches it n. The thief drps t the grund. This new weapn is called a Lng Range Acustic Device(LRAD, 遠(yuǎn)程定向聲波發(fā)射器). It prduces a deafening sund s painful that it temprarily disables a persn. The nise frm the LRAD is directed like a ray f light and travels nly int the ears f that persn, but it is nt deadly.
Fr thse wh hunger fr sme peace and quiet, sund can nw create silence. Let’s say yu are at the airprt, and the little by n the seat next t yu is humming(哼唱) a shrt cmmercial sng. He hums it ver and ver again, and yu are abut t g crazy. Thanks t the Silence Machine, a British inventin, yu can get rid f the sund withut upsetting the by r his parents. One may wnder hw the Silence Machine wrks. Well, it functins by analyzing the waves f the incming sund and creating a secnd set f utging waves. The tw sets f waves cancel each ther ut. Simply turn the machine r pint it at the target, and yur peace and quiet cmes back.
Directed sund is a new technlgy that allws cmpanies t use sund in much the same way sptlights(聚光燈) are used in the theater. A sptlight lights up nly ne sectin f a stage; similarly, “sptsund” creates a circle f sund in n targeted area. This can be useful fr businesses such as restaurants and stres because it ffers a new way t attract custmers. Restaurants can ffer a chice f music alng with the varius fd chices n the menu, allwing custmers mre cntrl ver the atmsphere in which they are dining. Directed sund is als beginning t appear in shpping centers and even at hmes.
46. What culd be inferred frm Paragraph 2 abut the effect f the LRAD?
A. It causes temprary hearing lss.
B. It slws dwn a running man.
C. It makes it easy t identify a suspect.
D. It keeps the suspect frm hurting thers.
47. The Silence Machine is a device specially designed t ________.
A. silence the peple arund yu
B. remve the sund f cmmercials
C. blck the incming sund waves
D. stp unwanted sund frm affecting yu
48. What feature d sptsunds and sptlights share?

Ppularity is a well-explred subject in scial psychlgy. Mitch Prinstein, a prfessr f clinical psychlgy srts the ppular int tw categries: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-thers qualities strengthen schlyard friendships, jump-start interpersnal skills and, when tapped early, are emplyed ever after in life and wrk. Then there’s the kind f ppularity that appears in adlescence: status brn f pwer and even dishnrable behavir.
Enviable as the cl kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies shw unpleasant cnsequences. Thse wh were highest in status in high schl, as well as thse least liked in elementary schl, are “mst likely t engage(從事)in dangerus and risky behavir.”
In ne study, Dr. Prinstein examined the tw types f ppularity in 235 adlescents, scring the least liked, the mst liked and the highest in status based n student surveys(調(diào)查研究). “We fund that the least well-liked teens had becme mre aggressive ver time tward their classmates. But s had thse wh were high in status. It clearly shwed that while likability can lead t healthy adjustment, high status has just the ppsite effect n us."
Dr. Prinstein has als fund that the qualities that made the neighbrs want yu n a play date-sharing, kindness, penness — carry ver t later years and make yu better able t relate and cnnect with thers.
In analyzing his and ther research,Dr. Prinstein came t anther cnclusin: Nt nly is likability related t psitive life utcmes, but it is als respnsible fr thse utcmes, t. "Being liked creates pprtunities fr learning and fr new kinds f life experiences that help smebdy gain an advantage, ” he said.

We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank r n an airplane, surrunded by peple wh are, like us, deeply fcused n their smartphnes r, wrse, struggling with the uncmfrtable silence.
What’s the prblem? It’s pssible that we all have cmprmised cnversatinal intelligence. It’s mre likely that nne f us start a cnversatin because it’s awkward and challenging, r we think it’s annying and unnecessary. But the next time yu find yurself amng strangers, cnsider that small talk is wrth the truble. Experts say it’s an invaluable scial practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimprtant is easy, but we can’t frget that deep relatinships wuldn’t
even exist if it weren’t fr casual cnversatin. Small talk is the grease(潤(rùn)滑劑) fr scial cmmunicatin, says Bernard Carducci, directr f the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Sutheast. "Almst every great lve stry and each big business deal begins with small talk," he explains. "The key t successful small talk is learning hw t cnnect with thers, nt just cmmunicate with them."
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, assciate prfessr f psychlgy at UBC, invited peple n their way int a cffee shp. One grup was asked t seek ut an interactin(互動(dòng)) with its waiter; the ther, t speak nly when necessary. The results shwed that thse wh chatted with their server reprted significantly higher psitive feelings and a better cffee shp experience. "It’s nt that talking t the waiter is better than talking t yur husband," says Dunn. "But interactins with peripheral(邊緣的) members f ur scial netwrk matter fr ur well-being als."
Dunn believes that peple wh reach ut t strangers feel a significantly greater sense f belnging, a bnd with thers. Carducci believes develping such a sense f belnging starts with small talk. "Small talk is the basis f gd manners," he says.
32. What phenmenn is described in the first paragraph?

I remember back t my 7th year in schl. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us t run laps and then hit a sftball. I didn’t d either well. He later infrmed me that I was "nt athletic".

Passage 1(重慶高三開(kāi)學(xué)考試)
At the Wrld Ecnmic Frum last mnth, President Trump drew claps when he annunced the United States wuld respnd t the frum's prpsal t plant ne trillin(萬(wàn)億) trees t fight climate change. The trillin-tree idea wn wide attentin last summer after a study published in the jurnal Science cncluded that planting s many trees was “the mst effective climate change slutin t date”.
If nly it were true. But it isn't. Planting trees wuld slw dwn the planet's warming, but the nly thing that will save us and future generatins frm paying a huge price in dllars, lives and damage t nature is rapid and cnsiderable reductins in carbn release frm fssil fuels, t net zer by 2050.
Fcusing n trees as the big slutin t climate change is a dangerus diversin(偏離). Wrse still, it takes attentin away frm thse respnsible fr the carbn release that are pushing us tward disaster. Fr example, in the Netherlands, yu can pay Shell an additinal 1 eur cent fr each liter f regular gasline yu put in yur tank, t plant trees t balance the carbn release frm yur driving. That's clearly n mre than disaster slightly delayed. The nly way t stp this planet frm verheating is thrugh plitical, ecnmic, technlgical and scial slutins that end the use f fssil fuels.
There is n way that planting trees, even acrss a glbal area the size f the United States, can absrb the huge amunts f fssil carbn released frm industrial scieties. Trees d take up carbn frm the atmsphere as they grw. But this uptake merely replaces carbn lst when frests were cleared in the first place, usually lng ag. Regrwing frests where they nce grew can und sme damage dne in the past, but even a trillin trees can't stre enugh carbn t head ff dramatic climate changes this century.
In a sharp cunter argument t last summer's Paper in Science, Justin Gillis wrte in the same jurnal in Octber that the study's findings were incnsistent with the dynamics f the glbal carbn cycle. He warned that “the claim that glbal tree restratin(復(fù)原) is ur mst effective climate slutin is simply scientifically incrrect and dangerusly misleading”.

A.It was published in a jurnal.

Passage 2(天津和平區(qū)耀華中學(xué)高三一模)
Spending ver a year in the bleak (荒涼的) Antarctica might change yur brain fr the wrse, accrding t new research ut this mnth. It seems t shw that plar explrers wh lived fr 14 mnths at an Antarctica research statin experienced brain shrinkage, likely as a result f their lneliness and bredm.
The study’s authrs used MRI (核磁共振) t scan the brains f eight members f a team befre they began a lng stay at the German-run research statin. During their missin. the team peridically tk tests f their cgnitin and memry and prvided bld samples that allwed the study authrs t measure their levels f a prtein imprtant fr brain health called brain-derived neurtrphic factr (BDNF). When they returned, they had their brains scanned again.
Finally, cmpared t themselves befre the missin, the explrers' brains appeared t have less grey matter n average. The shrinkage was mst apparent in the hippcampus, in area f the brain key t memry and cgnitin. Their average levels f BDNF als drpped during the trip and didn’t imprve significantly even after ne-and-a-half mnths back hme.
The study's findings, published in The New England Jurnal f Medicine, aren't the first t suggest that lng time f being separated can change the brain. But practically all f this wrk has invlved animals, accrding t the researchers.
Of curse, an eight-persn study is small, s any f its cnclusins shuld be taken with cautin. Lead authr Alexander C.Stahn, nw a researcher at the Perelman Schl f Medicine at the University f Pennsylvania, said that the effects n the hippcampus are likely temprary, prvided the scientists returned back t a life filled with scial interactin and interesting things t see.
Still, since peple will cntinue traveling t and frm Antarctica fr lng perids f time, the findings are definitely wrth keeping in mind and explring further. They might even prve relevant fr the rare few peple wh might travel as far as Mars in the future — perhaps the nly similarly scientific, mnths-lng missin that wuld be even mre lnely.
1.What will d damage t the brain accrding t the first paragraph?
A.Ding research in brain shrinkageB.Traveling t the Antarctica.
C.Wrking as a researcher in a statin.D.Being in a lnely place fr a lng time.
2.Hw did the scientists get the cnclusin?
A.By cmparing the scanned results.B.By studying the previus figures.
C.By making a lng-term prgram.D.By scanning the participants’ brains.
3.What can we infer abut the explrers when they returned?
A.They were n lnger used t the civilized wrld.
B.They had sme difficulty in remembering things.
C.They became nrmal after ne-and-a-half mnths.
D.They published their findings in a medical magazine.
4.What can we learn abut the study?
A.The scientists are prvided with varius scial activities.
B.Lng time f being separated can change the brain f all animals.
C.Other researches have the same findings as the study.
D.Its cnclusin may be relevant fr thse wh arc fnd f travelling.
5.What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A.The imprtance f the finding.B.The disadvantage f the finding.

Passage 4(湖南高三二模)
Fathers have a strng influence n their children. And ne f the areas in which researchers lk fr the influence is in the develpment f language. What begins with gestures and sunds develps int cmpetence with language by arund age 3.Fathers are prving t be an imprtant part f this prcess, as Lynne Vernn-Feagans f the University f Nrth Carlina and her clleagues are finding ut.
They have dne sme f the mst interesting wrk lking at children's language develpment in bth middle-class and pr, rural families. They've fund, t their surprise, that nt nly are fathers imprtant fr children’s language develpment, but that fathers matter mre than mthers. Fr example, they fund that fathers' use f vcabulary when reading picture bks t their children at 6 mnths f age was significantly related t the children's expressiveness at 15 mnths and use f advanced language at age 3.This held true n matter what the mther's educatinal level was r hw she spke t the children.
Vernn-Feagans was surprised by the difference between mthers and fathers. She had thught they wuld be equally invlved in encuraging their children’s language develpment. Why wuld fathers be mre imprtant in this regard than mthers? Maybe it's because mthers are mre familiar with their kids, typically spending mre time with them than fathers d. That makes mthers mre likely t chse wrds the kids knw. Fathers aren't as familiar with their kids,s they use a brader vcabulary, and the kids learn new wrds and cncepts as a result.
Vernn-Feagans thught there might be anther factr at play as well. Because fathers usually spend less time with their kids, they are mre f a nvelty. That makes them mre interesting playmates. “I d think ur children see it as very special when they d bk reading with their fathers,” she said. “They may listen mre and acquire language in a special way.”
The researchers fund that wealthier fathers prduced a greater rise in their children’s IQs than did similarly active lw-incme fathers. It might sund discuraging, but it suggests that imprving men's educatinal r financial status wuld bring benefits nt nly t them but t their children as well.
1.What did Vernn-Feagans and her clleagues find unexpectedly in their research?
A.Mthers' imprper ways t talk t children.
B.Fathers' imprtant rle in children's language.
C.Children’s use f advanced language at age 3.
D.Different vcabulary in different families.
2.What might make mthers a less imprtant rle in children’s language develpment?

題組一
Passage1(全國(guó)卷III,B)
【答案】 24.D 25.B 26.D 27.A
【解析】這是一篇新聞報(bào)道。短文報(bào)道了電影“猩球崛起”上個(gè)月首次與公眾見(jiàn)面。動(dòng)物愛(ài)好者聚集在好萊塢前,感謝電影制作者,在電影拍攝時(shí),沒(méi)有使用真的類人猿?,F(xiàn)在的動(dòng)物拍攝使用的是數(shù)字化人猿的創(chuàng)造技術(shù),而一些電影的拍攝卻存在著虐地動(dòng)物的現(xiàn)象,這讓一個(gè)非盈利的組織密切關(guān)注此事。但有些拍攝也是不能夠被監(jiān)測(cè)到的。
24.
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Instead, ne activist ,dressed in a full -bdy mnkey suit ,had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers:“Thanks fr nt using real apes”可知,相反,一名身穿全套猴服的活動(dòng)人士來(lái)到現(xiàn)場(chǎng),手里拿著一塊牌子,稱贊電影制作人:“感謝你們不用真正的猿猴。所以動(dòng)物保護(hù)者聚集在好萊塢大道是為了向電影制作者表示感謝。故選D項(xiàng)。
25.
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段“The creative team behind "Apes" used mtin-capture (動(dòng)作捕捉) technlgy t create digitalized animals, spending tens f millins f dllars n technlgy that I recrds an actr’s perfrmance and later prcesses it with cmputer graphics t create a final image (圖像). ”可知,“人猿”背后的創(chuàng)作團(tuán)隊(duì)利用動(dòng)作捕捉技術(shù)創(chuàng)造數(shù)字化的動(dòng)物,在記錄演員表演的技術(shù)上,花費(fèi)數(shù)千萬(wàn)美元,然后用電腦圖形處理,以產(chǎn)生最終的影像。由此可知,第二段主要是關(guān)于數(shù)字化人猿的創(chuàng)造。故選B項(xiàng)。
26.
詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第三段劃線前的句子“One nnprfit rganizatin, which mnitrs the treatment r animals in filmed entertainment”(一個(gè)非營(yíng)利組織,監(jiān)控動(dòng)物在電影娛樂(lè)中的待遇)以及下文Already, a number f films, including "Water fr Elephants," "The Hangver Part Ⅱ" and "Zkeeper," have drawn the anger f activists wh say the creatures acting in them haven’t been treated prperly.(許多電影,包括“大象的眼淚”,“宿醉Ⅱ”和“管理員”,引起了動(dòng)物保護(hù)人士的憤怒,他們說(shuō)影片中的動(dòng)物沒(méi)有遭到很好的對(duì)待。)由此可知,其中一家監(jiān)控動(dòng)物待遇的非營(yíng)利組織,今年正密切關(guān)注著2000多部影片。由此判斷出,劃線詞的意思是“密切關(guān)注”。故選D項(xiàng)。
27.
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段In sme cases, it’s nt s much the treatment f the animals n set in the studi that has activists wrried; it’s the ff-set training and living cnditins that are raising cncerns. And there are questins abut the films made utside the States, which smetimes are nt mnitred as clsely as prductins filmed in the Sates.”(在某些情況下,讓活動(dòng)人士擔(dān)心的并不是電影棚里對(duì)動(dòng)物的待遇;讓人擔(dān)憂的是訓(xùn)練和生活條件。還有一些關(guān)于在美國(guó)以外拍攝的電影的問(wèn)題,這些電影有時(shí)不像在美國(guó)拍攝的電影那樣受到嚴(yán)密的監(jiān)控。)可知,在某些情況下,讓活動(dòng)人士擔(dān)心的并不是工作室里動(dòng)物的待遇;令人擔(dān)憂的是訓(xùn)練和生活條件。由此判斷出動(dòng)物演員可能受到虐待。故選A項(xiàng)。

28.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中Rather,an authritative parenting style includes sme f the fllwing characteristics: children feel warmth and lve frm their father;respnsibility and the reasns behind rules are stressed children are given an apprpriate level f autnmy.(相反,權(quán)威的養(yǎng)育方式包括以下一些特征:孩子們感受到來(lái)自父親的溫暖和愛(ài);強(qiáng)調(diào)責(zé)任和規(guī)則背后的原因;孩子們被給予適當(dāng)?shù)淖灾鳈?quán))可知一個(gè)有權(quán)威的父親在撫養(yǎng)孩子時(shí)會(huì)向他們解釋規(guī)則。故選D。
29.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a rle in teaching the benefits f persistence,which is an avenue f future research.(然而,研究人員認(rèn)為,單親父母仍然可能在教授堅(jiān)持不懈的好處方面發(fā)揮作用,這是未來(lái)研究的一個(gè)方向)可知根據(jù)研究人員的說(shuō)法,單親父母是未來(lái)研究的重點(diǎn)。故選A。
30.主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中A key finding is that ver time,children raised by an authritative father were significantly mre likely t develp persistence,which leads t better utcmes in schl.(一項(xiàng)重要的發(fā)現(xiàn)是,隨著時(shí)間的推移,由權(quán)威父親撫養(yǎng)長(zhǎng)大的孩子更有可能培養(yǎng)出堅(jiān)持不懈的精神,從而在學(xué)校取得更好的成績(jī))和文章主要內(nèi)容為說(shuō)明父親在養(yǎng)育子女中的角色,故選C選項(xiàng)“孩子們傾向于向父親學(xué)習(xí)決心”最符合文章標(biāo)題。故選C。

Unfrtunately, it’s t little, t late. By the time these “slutins” becme widely available, scammers will have mved nt clever means”可知,最后,我們通過(guò)支持和開(kāi)發(fā)一組旨在防止欺詐者通過(guò)的工具、應(yīng)用程序和方法,認(rèn)識(shí)到了問(wèn)題的嚴(yán)重性。不幸的是,我們的努力太少了,也太晚了。在這些“解決方案”被廣泛使用的時(shí)候,騙子將轉(zhuǎn)移到更巧妙的手段上。由此推知,作者認(rèn)為這些“解決辦法”對(duì)于解決問(wèn)題起不了什么作用,因此作者感到很“失望”。故D選項(xiàng)正確。
39.A
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“The reasn that rbcalls are a headache has less t d with amunt than precisin. A decade f data breaches f persnal infrmatin has led t a situatin where scammers can easily learn yur mther’s name, and far mre. Armed with this knwledge, they’re able t carry ut individually targeted campaigns t cheat peple. This means, fr example, that a scammer culd call yu frm what lks t be a familiar number and talk t yu using a vice that sunds exactly like yur bank teller’s, tricking yu int “cnfirming” yur address, mther’s name, and card number”可知,機(jī)器人通話之所以令人頭痛,與其說(shuō)與數(shù)量有關(guān),不如說(shuō)與精確度有關(guān)。長(zhǎng)達(dá)十年的個(gè)人信息泄露已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致了這樣一種情況:騙子可以輕易地知道你母親的名字,甚至更多。有了這些知識(shí),他們就能夠開(kāi)展有針對(duì)性的運(yùn)動(dòng)來(lái)欺騙人們。根據(jù)這些可知,利用這種新的技術(shù),欺詐者們可以精確的確定他們行騙的目標(biāo)。故A選項(xiàng)正確。
40.B
【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句可知,這項(xiàng)語(yǔ)音技術(shù)可以產(chǎn)生一個(gè)聽(tīng)起來(lái)和人類非常相似的聲音,它可以和接待員進(jìn)行交談,進(jìn)行預(yù)訂。由此可知,這項(xiàng)新技術(shù)有其好的方面。根據(jù)第三段的敘述可知,欺詐者們可以利用這項(xiàng)新技術(shù)來(lái)進(jìn)行欺詐行為。由此推知,這項(xiàng)新技術(shù)既可以發(fā)揮好的作用,也可能為壞人所利用,產(chǎn)生不好的作用,因此可以說(shuō)它是一把雙刃劍。故B選項(xiàng)正確。
41.C
【解析】主旨大意題。第一段提到:rbcalls(機(jī)器人電話: 自動(dòng)撥號(hào)播放錄音信息的推銷電話)在未來(lái)變得會(huì)越來(lái)越嚴(yán)重,不僅僅是出現(xiàn)在你的手機(jī)屏幕上的電話號(hào)碼令人懷疑,而且你會(huì)質(zhì)疑聽(tīng)到的聲音是否是真的。第二段介紹原因:語(yǔ)音操作與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)的出現(xiàn)使得機(jī)器人電話可以以假亂真。第三段介紹了語(yǔ)音操作和自動(dòng)化技術(shù)發(fā)展會(huì)使得機(jī)器人電話產(chǎn)生的問(wèn)題更加嚴(yán)重。最后兩段提出我們?cè)撊绾螒?yīng)對(duì)這些問(wèn)題。綜上,文章第一段點(diǎn)明文章中心:機(jī)器人電話問(wèn)題在未來(lái)會(huì)變得越來(lái)越嚴(yán)重。下文都是圍繞這一話題展開(kāi)的。故C選項(xiàng)適合作標(biāo)題。
