2022届高考英语阅读理解专项训练（五）A阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案.In the third century BC, the full stop, or period, was introduced by Greek literary critic Aristophanes of Byzantium. This punctuation mark (标点符号) is used to show the end of a sentence.However, the full stop has a different meaning to teenagers and those in their early 20s, who interpret this punctuation mark as sign of anger. And there is a reason for that.The younger generation has grown up using the texts as their primary means of communication.  When sending messages, they tend to break up their thoughts by sending each one as a separate message, instead of using a full stop. Some have said the full stop is redundant when used in texting because the message is ended just by sending it.According to the Telegraph, linguist (语言学家) Lauren Fonteyn of Leiden University in the Netherlands, tweeted (发推特): “If you send a text message without a full stop, it’s already obvious (显然的) that you’ve concluded the message.” “So if you add that additional marker for completion, they will read something into it and it tends to be a falling intonation (语调) or negative tone (语气).”David Crystal, one of the world’s leading language experts, argues that the usage of full stops is being “revised (修改) in a really fundamental (基本的) way”. In his book Making a Point, he says that the punctuation mark has become an “emotion marker” that reminds the recipient (接受者) that the sender is angry or annoyed.Though the full stop has taken on a different meaning to the younger generation, experts noted that it is important to take context (语境) into account. For example, using full stops in an email is perfectly acceptable and is not considered rude.Indeed, there is no fast or slow － there is only your own terms, and your own pace.What does the underlined word “redundant” probably mean?Clear.Unacceptable.Unnecessary.Old-fashioned.What can we learn from Fonteyn’s words?Using the full stop improves communication.The usage of the full stop is changing for the worse.A text message is quite different from spoken language.The full stop in text messages can show senders’ emotions.What do language experts suggest people do when using the full stop?Consider different situations.Check who the recipient is.Take it as an “emotion marker”.Follow the culture of the young generation.What does the article mainly talk about?The history of punctuation marks.A new meaning to the full stop.Correct ways to use the full stop.Different views on punctuation marks.B阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案The internet plays an important part in many people’s daily lives. However, not everyone can get access to it, especially those in poor or remote areas. SpaceX, a US aerospace (航空航天) manufacturer founded in 2002 by Elon Musk, is aiming to bring high-speed internet to people in every corner of the world with the Starlink project.Starlink plans to send nearly 42,000 satellites into low orbit around Earth. Recently, the 12th batch (批) of 60 Starlink satellites was launched, bringing the total number of Starlink satellites in orbit to more than 700.During the launch, SpaceX officials gave details about the project’s abilities. The satellites have shown “super low latency (延迟) and download speeds greater than 100 megabytes per second (mbps)”, the Verge reported. Its download speed is much faster than broadband (宽带) currently used in most homes, which can reach about 20 mbps to 30 mbps.What makes Starlink’s download speed so quick?Rather than sending internet signals through electric cables (电缆), which must be physically laid down to reach distant places, satellite internet works by sending information through the vacuum (真空) of space, where it travels 47 percent faster than in fiber-optic (光纤) cable.“The latency is low enough to play the fastest online video games and our download speeds are fast enough to stream (播放) multiple (多个) HD movies at once,” Kate Tice, an engineer at SpaceX, said during the launch broadcast.Though the Starlink project, if successful, could expand people’s access to the internet, some are concerned. For astronomers, the light given off by more satellites in orbit could hinder (阻碍) their view.Also, there are about 1,500 active satellites and 3,000 dead satellites currently orbiting Earth. If too many Starlink satellites are sent into orbit, the risk of collision (碰撞) could increase.However, if the Starlink project succeeds, it could “forever alter (改变) the landscape of the telecom industry”, CNN reported.What is the aim of the Starlink project?To draw people’s attention to poor areas.To spread the access to the internet.To show people the importance of the internet.To tell people the role SpaceX plays in space technology.The author tells readers the advantages of Starlink mainly by _____?telling a personal experience.listing numbers.analyzing some cases.quoting experts.How does Starlink send internet signals?Through electric cables.By using signal towers.Through the vacuum of space.By using fiber-optic cables.What did CNN think of the Starlink project?It is not worth the cost.It will achieve its goal soon.It might do more harm than good.It can be helpful to the telecom industry.C阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案Some people live to climb the highest mountains. Some people only think about it while others avoid ever climbing at all. But one thing is certain – all people come across mountains in their life.When I was a little girl, my parents moved us to the tiny village of Otongo, Hidalgo, Mexico. This town was built at the bottom of a big mountain.One day after school, while exploring the green woods of this mountain, I came upon a set of stairs. What could these steps lead to? Could this be the way to the top? Curiosity got the best of me, so I started climbing up those mysterious steps. I climbed and climbed, but still there was nothing in sight. It was getting real dark, and I wasn’t even close to the top.The voice of reason (理智) told me to hurry back home and try again the next day. I ran back home in the dark while trying not to get too scared. I didn’t tell anyone about what I found that night. I went to bed dreaming about what I would find at the top of this magical mountain we lived on. Could there be a handsome prince, treasure or monsters up there? Ah … such childhood fantasies! Those were the days when we dared to dream. We dared to do crazy things. We believed! I’m all grown up now, and life has shown me a beating at times.I did live on a mountain in a town as described, but I created this childhood fantasy to make my days so much more fun as a kid. This story is a good metaphor for life today.You might ask, “What was at the top of that mountain?” I ask you, “What would you have wanted to find?” Dream about what’s at the top of your mountain. What do you want out of life? Tomorrow is another day, and still, you must climb. Whatever you do, never ever give up on your dream!

It was held by New York’s artistic studio KOS (Kids of Survival).In the workshop, one young artist read a meaningful text, and others responded by drawing or painting on papers. The Zoom call was a part of a weeklong virtual workshop for high school students.“When’s the last time you were read to?” asked Angel Abreu, a member of KOS and an instructor for the program. “There’s a power in listening to everyone’s voice and seeing everyone connect to the text.” After reading and listening to sections from the Invisible Man, students made their own designs about the book, which were then digitally added to the final page.Ross Samir Ross, 17, a senior at Franklin High School, was inspired by the colors of the South African flag for his design. “I didn’t know what colors I was going to use at first, but I thought, why not go back to my racial origins (种族起源)?”Maryem Bouatlaoui, 16, a junior at Central High School, said she created about five images. But she was most proud of her design that looked like steel bars (铁栏杆).“The meaning behind it was to show that being a minority (少数族裔) is like being behind bars in real life,” Bouatlaoui said. “I think we should be able to get out of those bars and demand social justice and racial equality.”“The workshop was eye-opening,” said Ross. He learned that art could be found in many places, not only in the museum of art.The students said they learned not only about lessons from history and important texts, but also about themselves. For Wang, it helped her to gain a deeper understanding of the power of her own voice. “You can use your voice to create art and change the status quo (现状).”Ross said he “gained a new respect for the little things” and learned how to value the connections in his life.The students’ digital artwork will be shown on Abreu’s website and may be displayed (展示) in KOS’ future art exhibitions.What does the article tell us about the workshop?It was organized by high schools in Philadelphia.It centered on Ralph Ellison and his works.It discussed how to study arts well on Zoom calls.It was mainly open to high school students.What did the students do after listening to a text read to them?They would continue to write the text.They talked about the author’s writing skills.They drew or painted based on the text.They tried to find the best way to understand the text.What can we learn about Bouatlaoui from the article?She is a white girl in the US.She cares about racial equality.She pays attention to the little things in life.She is interested in the South African flag.What did Wang think of the workshop?It made her learn that she could make a difference.She didn’t think it was as helpful as she expected.It helped her realize the importance of art museums.She thought more lessons from history are necessary.                          2022届高考英语阅读理解专项训练（五） 参考答案A1~4：CDABB5~8：BBCDC9~12：DBCAD13~16：DCBA
