【题型应对策略】
一、选材特点、文体特征和命题特点
议论文,也叫说理文,是一种剖析事物、论述事理、发表意见、提出主张的文体。作者通过摆事实、讲道理、辨是非等方法,来确定其观点的正确或错误,树立或否定某种主张。议论文的三要素是论点、论据和论证。论点是一篇文章的灵魂、统帅;论据是支撑论点的材料;论证是用论据来证明论点的方法和过程。主要具有以下特点:
二、议论文应对策略
高考英语议论文设题广泛,细节理解题、推理判断题、词句猜测题、主旨大意题都有可能出现,因此,在阅读议论文时,应该从结构和内容两方面同时入手,先通读原文,再区分事实和观点,明确论点、论证和论据,明了作者最后得出的结论。具体答题策略如下:

If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things.
Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects, and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example f this between literate and nn-literate histry is perhaps the first cnflict, at Btany Bay, between Captain Ck’s vyage and the Australian Abriginals. Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain’s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield (盾) drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. If we want t recnstruct what was actually ging n that day, the shield must be questined and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reprts.
In additin t the prblem f miscmprehensin frm bth sides, there are victries accidentally r deliberately twisted, especially when nly the victrs knw hw t write. Thse wh are n the lsing side ften have nly their things t tell their stries. The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made: a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact (联系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects.

A. Hw past events shuld be presented.B. What humanity is cncerned abut.
C. Whether facts speak luder than wrds.D. Why written language is reliable.
33. What des the authr indicate by mentining Captain Ck in paragraph 2?
A. His reprt was scientific.B. He represented the lcal peple.

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

A. Hw Maps Tell Stries f the WrldB. A Shrt Histry f Australia
C. A Histry f the Wrld in 100 ObjectsD. Hw Art Wrks Tell Stries
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文讨论了仅仅依靠书面文本来讲述世界历史的局限性,并强调了将物品纳入历史叙事以更好地理解无文字社会的重要性。
32.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things. (如果你想讲述整个世界的历史,一段不以人类某一部分为特权的历史,你不能仅仅通过文本来讲述,因为世界上只有一部分人曾经有过文本,而世界上大多数人,在大多数时间里,都没有。写作是人类较晚的成就之一,直到最近,甚至许多有文字的社会也不仅用文字,而且用物件来记录他们所关心的事情。)”可推知,第一段主要讲述的是历史应该如何呈现给我们。故选A。
33.推理判断题。根据文章第二段首句“Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects, and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. (理想情况下,历史应该将文本和物品结合在一起,本书的某些章节能够做到这一点,但在许多情况下,我们根本做不到。)”可推断,作者认为历史应该是文本和物品相结合的产物,但是很多情况下,我们做不到。再根据所举例子的下文“Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain’s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield (盾) drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. (在英国方面,我们有科学报告和船长对那可怕的一天的记录。从澳大利亚方面来看,我们只有一个木制盾牌,这是一名男子在第一次经历枪击后在飞行中扔下的。)”可知,作者举这个例子是为了说明船长的记录是片面的,只从自己的角度描述了问题。故选D。
34.词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made: a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact (联系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. (加勒比海的泰诺人、澳大利亚的土著人、贝宁的非洲人以及印加人,所有这些人都出现在这本书中,他们现在都可以通过他们制造的物品向我们讲述他们过去最强大的成就:通过物品讲述的历史给了他们一个声音。当我们考虑诸如此类的有文化社会和无文化社会之间的接触时,我们所有的第一手资料都必然是扭曲的,只有对话的一半。)”结合划线句“If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects. (如果我们要找到对话的另一半,我们不仅要读文本,还要读物体。)”可知,我们对过去历史的了解,只是书写历史的人所想要让我们了解的历史,如果我们想要了解历史的另一半,我们不仅仅要读文本也要读对象。所以cnversatin指的是“历史”。故选B。
35.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt.(如果你想讲述整个世界的历史,一段不以人类某一部分为特权的历史,你不能仅仅通过文本来讲述,因为世界上只有一部分人的历史曾经被文字记录过,而世界上大多数人,在大多数时间里,都没有。)”结合最后一段的“ If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects. (如果我们要找到对话的另一半,我们不仅要读文本,还要读物体。)”可知,本文讲述仅仅依靠书面文本来讲述世界历史有局限性,想要更好的了解历史就要将文本和物品结合在一起。从而推断文章最有可能选自《100件物品中的世界史》。故选C。

Smetime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discvered its harbr. Then, ne after anther, Sydney discvered lts f things that were just srt f there — brad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally diverse ppulatin. But it is the harbr that makes the city.
Andrew Reynlds, a cheerful fellw in his early 30s, pilts Sydney ferrybats fr a living. I spent the whle mrning shuttling back and frth acrss the harbr. After ur third run Andrew shut dwn the engine, and we went ur separate ways — he fr a lunch break, I t explre the city.
“I’ll miss these ld bats,” he said as we parted.
“Hw d yu mean?” I asked.
“Oh, they’re replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they’re nt s elegant, and they’re nt fun t pilt. But that’s prgress, I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and prgress are the watchwrds (口号), and traditins are increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city’s fficial histrian, tld me that in its rush t mdernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much f its past, including many f its finest buildings. “Sydney is cnfused abut itself,” she said. “We can’t seem t make up ur minds whether we want a mdern city r a traditinal ne. It’s a cnflict that we aren’t getting any better at reslving (解决).”
On the ther hand, being yung and ld at the same time has its attractins. I cnsidered this when I met a thughtful yung businessman named Anthny. “Many peple say that we lack culture in this cuntry,” he tld me. “What peple frget is that the Italians, when they came t Australia, brught 2000 years f their culture, the Greeks sme 3000 years, and the Chinese mre still. We’ve gt a fundatin built n ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism f a yung cuntry. It’s a pretty hard cmbinatin t beat.”
He is right, but I can’t help wishing they wuld keep thse ld ferries.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Sydney’s striking architecture.B. The cultural diversity f Sydney.
C. The key t Sydney’s develpment.D. Sydney’s turist attractins in the 1960s.
33. What can we learn abut Andrew Reynlds?
A. He ges t wrk by bat.B. He lks frward t a new life.
C. He pilts catamarans well.D. He is attached t the ld ferries.
34. What des Shirley Fitzgerald think f Sydney?
A. It is lsing its traditins.B. It shuld speed up its prgress.
C. It shuld expand its ppulatin.D. It is becming mre internatinal.
35. Which statement will the authr prbably agree with?
A. A city can be yung and ld at the same time.
B. A city built n ancient cultures is mre dynamic.
C. mdernity is usually achieved at the cst f elegance.
D. Cmprmise shuld be made between the lcal and the freign.
32-35 DDAA
【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者和悉尼人士的交流介绍了悉尼发展中面临的问题。
32. C。主旨大意题。根据第一段“Smetime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discvered its harbr. (20世纪60年代初,澳大利亚悉尼发生了一件大事。这座城市发现了它的港口) ”以及“But it is the harbr that makes the city. (但是是港口造就了城市)”可知,本段主要介绍了悉尼发展的关键是港口。故选C。
33. D。细节理解题。根据第二段“Andrew Reynlds, a cheerful fellw in his early 30s, pilt Sydney ferrybats fr a living. (30岁出头的Andrew Reynlds是个快乐的小伙子,他在悉尼担任渡轮领航员为生)”、第三段“I’ll miss these ld bats. (我会想念这些旧船的)”以及第五段“Catamarans are faster, but they’re nt s elegant, and they’re nt fun t pilt. (双体船更快,但它们不那么优雅,驾驶起来也不有趣)”可知,渡轮领航员Andrew Reynlds喜欢老式渡船。故选D。
34. A。推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Shirley Fitzgerald, the city’s fficial histrian, tld me that in its rush t mdernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much f its past, including many f its finest buildings. (悉尼的官方历史学家Shirley Fitzgerald告诉我,在20世纪70年代奔向现代化的过程中,悉尼把很多它的过去都抛在了一边,包括许多最漂亮的建筑)”可推知,Shirley Fitzgerald认为悉尼匆忙奔向现代化,正在失去它的传统。故选A。
35. A 推理判断题 根据倒数第二段的第一句 ... being yung and ld at the same time has its attractins. 可知,作者认为一个城市新旧并存是非常有魅力的。根据下文中 Anthny 的观点 ... a fundatin built n ancient cultures with a drive and dynamism f a yung cuntry. 和最后一段 He is right ... 可知,Anthny 认为澳大利亚是一个建立在古老文化基础上并同时充满活力的年轻国家,作者认同其观点。

Wh is a genius? This questin has greatly interested humankind fr centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almst the internatinal symbl fr genius. But we want t g beynd ne man and explre the nature f genius itself. Why is it that sme peple are s much mre intelligent r creative than the rest f us? And wh are they?
In the sciences and arts, thse praised as geniuses were mst ften white men, f Eurpean rigin. Perhaps this is nt a surprise. It's said that histry is written by the victrs, and thse victrs set the standards fr admissin t the genius club. When cntributins were made by geniuses utside the club—wmen, r peple f a different clr r belief—they were unacknwledged and rejected by thers.
A study recently published by Science fund that as yung as age six, girls are less likely than bys t say that members f their gender (性别) are “really, really smart.” Even wrse, the study fund that girls act n that belief: Arund age six they start t avid activities said t be fr children wh are “really, really smart.” Can ur planet affrd t have any great thinkers becme discuraged and give up? It desn't take a genius t knw the answer: abslutely nt.
Here's the gd news. In a wired wrld with cnstant glbal cmmunicatin, we're all psitined t see flashes f genius wherever they appear. And the mre we lk, the mre we will see that scial factrs(因素)like gender, race, and class d nt determine the appearance f genius. As a writer says, future geniuses cme frm thse with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance (毅力), and simple gd frtune, wh are able t change the wrld.”
12. What des the authr think f victrs' standards fr jining the genius club?
A. They're unfair. B. They're cnservative. C. They're bjective.D. They're strict.
13. What can we infer abut girls frm the study in Science?
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They lk up t great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than bys.
D. They are likely t be influenced by scial beliefs
14. Why are mre geniuses knwn t the public?
A. Imprved glbal cmmunicatin.
B. Less discriminatin against wmen.
C. Acceptance f victrs' cncepts.
D. Changes in peple's scial psitins.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Geniuses Think AlikeB. Genius Takes Many Frms
C. Genius and IntelligenceD. Genius and Luck
【答案】12-15 ADAB
【导读】这是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才?”引入,论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义,提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式,不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。
12. A。推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is said that histry is written by victrs, and thse victrs set the standards fr admissin t the genius club. When cntributins were made by geniuses utside the club-wmen, r peple f a different clr r belief-they were unacknwledged and rejected by thers.( 据说历史是由胜利者书写的,而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时,他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝)”可推知,作者认为那些“胜利者”对进入“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的,因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。
13. D。推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even wrse, the study fund that girls act n that belief. Arund age six they start t avid activities said t be fr children wh are “really, really smart.”(更糟糕的是,研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右,她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动)”可推知,女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响,认为自己在六岁左右就不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。
14. A。细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired wrld with cnstant glbal cmmunicatin, we’re all psitined t see flashes f genius wherever they appear.( 在一个全球通讯不断的有线世界里,我们随时随地都能看到天才的闪现)”可知,进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。
15. B。主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,结合文章第一段提出问题“Wh is a genius?(谁是天才)”和最后一段的“As a writer says, future geniuses cme frm thse with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, wh are able t change the wrld.”(正如一位作家所说,未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。”)”可知,天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人,他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。

During the rsy years f elementary schl(小学), I enjyed sharing my dlls and jkes, which allwed me t keep my high scial status. I was the queen f the playgrund. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cl kids. They rse in the ranks nt by being friendly but by smking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jkes n thers, amng whm I sn fund myself.
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(从事) 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 (调查研究). “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.
32. What srt f girl was the authr in her early years f elementary schl?
A. Unkind. B. Lnely. C. Generus. D. Cl.
33. What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. The classificatin f the ppular.B. The characteristics f adlescents.

34. What did Dr. Prinstein’s study find abut the mst liked kids?
A. They appeared t be aggressive.B. They tended t be mre adaptable.
C. They enjyed the highest status.D. They perfrmed well academically.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Be Nice--Yu Wn’t Finish Last B. The Higher the Status, the Beer
C. Be the Best--Yu Can Make It D. Mre Self-Cntrl, Less Aggressiveness
【答案】32. C33. A34. B35. A
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了受欢迎度对青少年的影响。
32. 推理判断题。根据第一段During the rsy years f elementary schl, I enjyed sharing my dlls and jkes, which allwed me t keep my high scial status.可知,在美好的小学时光里,作者喜欢分享她的娃娃和笑话,由此推断出,作者在早年的小学时期是一个慷慨的女孩。A. Unkind不友善的;B. Lnely寂寞的;C. Generus慷慨的;D. Cl冷静的。故选C。
33.主旨大意题。第二段Mitch Prinstein, a prfessr f clinical psychlgy srts the ppular int tw categries: the likable and the status seekers.(临床心理学教授Mitch Prinstein将受欢迎的人分为两类:讨人喜欢的人和追求地位的人。)是段落主题句,本段内容分别对the likable 和the status seekers做了解释,所以本段主要介绍了两种受欢迎的分类,故选A。
34.推理判断题。根据第四段It clearly shwed that while likability can lead t healthy adjustment (它清楚地表明,讨人喜欢可以促使健全的调整)推断出,心理学教授Mitch Prinstein的研究表明,讨人喜欢的孩子适应性更强,故选B。
35.主旨大意题。通过阅读全文内容,尤其是最后一段,可知这篇文章主要讲了受欢迎度对青少年的影响,讨人喜欢对青少年成长都有深远的有益影响。与选项A“友善一点——你将不会排在最后(你不会完蛋/你会笑到最后)”一致,故选A。

Think “art”. What cmes t yur mind? Is it Greek r Rman sculptures in the Luvre, r Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern f lights?
The artwrks by American artist Janet Echelman lk like clurful flating cluds when they are lit up at night. Visitrs t ne f her artwrks in Vancuver culd nt nly enjy lking at it, they culd als interact with it-literally. They did this by using their phnes t change its clurs and patterns. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art?
Whatever yur pinin, peple have been expressing their thughts and ideas thrugh art fr thusands f years. T d this, they have used a variety f tls and technlgies. Yet Michelangel and thers have been labelled (定义) as “artists”, but nt “technicians”. This means that art and technlgy, have always been seen as tw very separate (不同的) things.
Tday, hwever, technlgical advances have led t a cmbinatin f art and technlgy. As a result, the art wrld is changing greatly. Nw art is mre accessible t us than ever befre. Take fr example ne f China’s mst famus paintings frm the Sng Dynasty, Alng the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwrk is rarely n display, peple have smetimes queued up t six hurs fr a chance t see it. Once in frnt f the painting, they nly have limited time t spend taking in its five metres f scenes alng the Bian River in Bianjing. Thanks t technlgy hwever, millins mre peple have been able t experience a digital versin f this painting. Three-dimensinal (3D) animatin means that viewers can see the characters mve arund and interact with their surrundings. They can als watch as the different scenes change frm daylight int nighttime.
The art-tech cmbinatin (结合) is als changing ur cncepts f “art” and the “artist”. Nt nly can we interact with art, but als take part in its creatin. With new technlgical tls at ur fingertips, mre and mre peple are explring their creative sides. The result has been exciting new art frms, such as digital paintings and vides.
Hwever, where technlgy will take art next is anyne’s guess. But ne thing is fr sure—with s many artists explring new pssibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
1. What’s the functin f the first paragraph?
A. T explain the art.B. T intrduce the tpic.

2. Why is “Michelangel” referred t in the third paragraph?
A. T shw he is a famus artist.
B. T shw he is als a technician.

【答案】
1. B 2. C 3. B 4. A
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了将技术与艺术结合的优缺点。
1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Think “art”. What cmes t yur mind? Is it Greek r Rman sculptures in the Luvre, r Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern f lights?(说到“艺术”,你想到了什么?是卢浮宫里希腊或罗马的雕塑?抑或是故宫博物院里中国的名画?又也许,仅仅是也许,是一片舞动的光影?)”以及后文内容,可知,本文主题是技术与艺术结合,所以本段的作用是引出话题。故选B项。
2. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Whatever yur pinin, peple have been expressing their thughts and ideas thrugh art fr thusands f years. T d this, they have used a variety f tls and technlgies. Yet Michelangel and thers have been labelled (定义) as “artists”, but nt “technicians”. This means that art and technlgy, have always been seen as tw very separate (不同的) things.(无论你的看法如何,数千年来人们一直通过艺术表达自己的思想和理念。为此,人们使用了各种各样的工具和技术。然而,米开朗基罗等人一直被称为“艺术家”而非“技巧大师”。这就意味着艺术和科技一直被看作两个截然不同的领域)”可知,本段提到米开朗基罗,是为了展示艺术不同于技术。故选C项。
3. 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Tday, hwever, technlgical advances have led t a cmbinatin f art and technlgy. As a result, the art wrld is changing greatly. Nw art is mre accessible t us than ever befre.(然而,今天,技术的进步导致了艺术与技术的结合。因此,艺术界正在发生巨大的变化。现在我们比以往任何时候都更容易接触艺术)”以及第五段“The art-tech cmbinatin (结合) is als changing ur cncepts f “art” and the “artist”. Nt nly can we interact with art, but als take part in its creatin. With new technlgical tls at ur fingertips, mre and mre peple are explring their creative sides. The result has been exciting new art frms, such as digital paintings and vides.(艺术与科技的结合也在改变着我们对“艺术”和“艺术家”的概念。我们不仅可以与艺术互动,还可以参与艺术的创作。随着新的技术工具触手可及,越来越多的人正在探索他们的创造力。其结果是令人兴奋的新艺术形式,如数字绘画和视频)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了将技术与艺术结合,也就是技术与艺术的关系。故选B项。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hwever, where technlgy will take art next is anyne’s guess. But ne thing is fr sure—with s many artists explring new pssibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.(然而,技术下一步将把艺术带向何方,谁也说不准。但有一件事是肯定的,随着这么多艺术家探索新的可能性,我们肯定可以期待意想不到的事情)”可知,作者认为艺术与技术结合将可以期待,所以是积极的的态度。故选A项。

The 1973 hrrr film “The Exrcist” and “Silent Night, Deadly Night” released in 1984 were s scary that audiences left the theater up and ut—thrwing up and passing ut, that is.
Based n this evidence after the release, it wuld seem t mst peple that hrrr mvies are bad fr peple’s health. Yet experts actually argue exactly the ppsite: The Hallween traditin f watching scary mvies is actually gd fr yur mental health.
“There is sme research n this in psychlgy, but I think what’s basically been fund is that there’s a benefit t recalling fears in yur mind,” Matthew Strhl, the authr f Why It’s OK t Lve Bad Mvies, tld Saln. “Yu can gain a sense f distance frm them. Yu feel yu can cnquer them thrugh this srt f expsure, as it were, by repeatedly putting yurself in a psitin where yu have t engage with them. But because it’s in a fictinal (虚构的) artistic cntext, yu can deal with them.”
Frank T. McAndrew, wh has studied hw places can “creep” peple ut (让人害怕)—researched n the science behind hw hrrr mvies are in many ways ideal as a specific vehicle fr meeting this need t be scared.
“That is kind f brn with us,” McAndrew pinted ut. “We like stries. We like t learn thrugh the experience f ther peple. We learn valuable lessns that might be kind f cstly t learn n ur wn. S we are attracted by hrrr mvies and hrrr experiences because by watching ther peple deal with scary things, we can mentally practice strategies that will make us better prepared fr dealing with that urselves in the future.”
Whether it is turning dwn the mvie’s vlume, cvering yur eyes, r reminding yurself that it is just a mvie, McAndrew said “that kind f playful engagement with fear can nt nly help peple avid fainting frm hrrr in face f a hrrr mvie, but als handle the pressure and anxieties f the real wrld.”
5. Hw experts’ pinin differs frm mst peple’s belief?
A. Peple like hrrr mvies.B. Hrrr films are actually beneficial.
C. Hrrr may cause physical discmfrt.D. Hallween traditin is watching hrrr mvies.
6. Which statement might Matthew Strhl agree with?
A. Hrrr films can give peple a sense f cntrl.
B. Fears can keep peple away frm scary films.
C. Fears in life differ frm thse caused by scary films.
D. Nt everyne can appreciate the beauty f fictinal arts.
7. What des “That” underlined in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. The appeal fr a vehicle.B. The need fr fear.
C. The fear fr sme places.D. The science behind hrrr.
8. In which aspect can scary film lvers perfrm better?
A. Studying literature and art.B. Writing film reviews.

【答案】
5. B 6. A 7. B 8. C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过介绍几个专家的观点论述了人们对恐惧的感受以及恐怖片是如何有益于人们的心理健康的。
5. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet experts actually argue exactly the ppsite: The Hallween traditin f watching scary mvies is actually gd fr yur mental health.(然而,专家们认为实际上恰恰相反:万圣节看恐怖电影的传统实际上对你的心理健康有好处。)”可知,大多数人认为恐怖电影对人们有害,但是专家却认为恐怖电影对人们的心理健康有益,故选B项。
6. 推理判断题。根据第三段Matthew Strhl说的“ I think what’s basically been fund is that there’s a benefit t recalling fears in yur mind(但我认为基本上已经发现的是,在脑海中回忆恐惧是有好处的)”“Yu can gain a sense f distance frm them. Yu feel yu can cnquer them thrugh this srt f expsure, as it were, by repeatedly putting yurself in a psitin where yu have t engage with them. But because it’s in a fictinal (虚构的) artistic cntext, yu can deal with them.(你可以获得与它们的距离感。你觉得你可以通过这种暴露来征服它们,可以说,通过反复地把自己放在一个必须与它们接触的位置。但因为这是一个虚构的艺术背景,你可以处理它们。)”可知,在看恐怖电影时,人们会接触到令人害怕的事物,但知道那些并不是真实存在的。多次观看后,人们便能克服对它们的恐惧感,进而更好地控制自己的恐惧,故选A项。
7. 词句猜测题。that指代上文提到的事情,根据第四段中“researched n the science behind hw hrrr mvies are in many ways ideal as a specific vehicle fr meeting this need t be scared(研究了恐怖电影恐怖电影是满足恐惧需求的理想载体背后的科学原理)”可知,That 指代上文内容“this need t be scared(对害怕这一情绪的需求)”,故选B项。
8. 推理判断题。根据最后一个段中“that kind f playful engagement with fear can nt nly help peple avid fainting frm hrrr in face f a hrrr mvie, but als handle the pressure and anxieties f the real wrld(这种对恐惧的戏谑参与不仅可以帮助人们避免在面对恐怖电影时因恐惧而晕倒,还可以处理现实世界的压力和焦虑。)”可知,看恐怖电影可以帮助人们处理现实生活中的压力和焦虑,可推理出恐怖片的爱好者们在应对压力和焦虑会表现更好,故选C项。

Sme peple wrry that there’s t much technlgy in ur lives.And they may have a pint, given hw cuntless peple nw carry the internet arund in their pcket and use it as a primary frm f cmmunicatin. It’s practically difficult t shuntechnlgy in ur wrld. There are cmputer micrchips(微芯片) in ur watches, ur cars, light switches, even ur pets! Where will it end?
Well, if certain peple have their way, it’ ll g even further. We’ll have micrchips implanted(植入) int ur brains that can interact with the cmputers by thught alne. It may sund like smething frm the science fictin, but in many ways, things lk quite prmising. Thanks t the ability t send and receive infrmatin remtely via cmputers micrchips and ther related devices have lng been put int brains.
Fr example, electrdes have been implanted in the brains f epilepsy patients t better recrd and even predict the abnrmal neurlgical activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulatin, thrugh implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regins, is an established treatment fr things like Parkinsn’s disease, and is even being lked int fr illnesses like depressin.
Hwever,it’s anther thing t place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical cncerns,nt least f which is what these chips will be made f. The inside f the brain is a mass f highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants wuld need t be inert(静止的) enugh t nt upset the delicate prcesses by their presence, but als sensitive enugh t read and prcess the activity arund them.Current technlgy has made impressive prgress with this, but if it were t be rlled ut t millins f peple, we’d need t be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.
Hw many peple will actually want t have technlgy literally put int their brain? A surprising 60 per cent f Americans say they’d be kay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theretical. In reality, the pssibility f having strangers stick chips in yur brain is likely t prve unattractive, especially fr a ppulatin where millins get mad at fictinal micrchips in vaccines(疫苗), and even mre are frightened f dentists.
Ultimately, the technlgy f cmputer-brain interface(接口) implants is still far away frm us.

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。
9. 词句猜测题。划线词句后文“There are cmputer micrchips(微芯片) in ur watches, ur cars, light switches, even ur pets! (我们的手表,汽车,电灯开关,甚至我们的宠物里都有电脑芯片!)”说明电脑芯片在人们日常生活中已经是普遍存在,从而推知划线词句“It’s practically difficult t shuntechnlgy in ur wrld. (在我们的世界里,shun科技实际上是很困难的。)”其中划线词汇意思是“回避,不用”。故选B项。
10. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Thanks t the ability t send and receive infrmatin remtely via cmputers micrchips and ther related devices have lng been put int brains. (由于能够通过计算机远程发送和接收信息,微芯片和其他相关设备早已被植入大脑。)”和第三段“Fr example, electrdes have been implanted in the brains f epilepsy patients t better recrd and even predict the abnrmal neurlgical activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulatin, thrugh implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regins, is an established treatment fr things like Parkinsn’s disease, and is even being lked int fr illnesses like depressin. (例如,电极已经植入癫痫患者的大脑,以便更好地记录甚至预测异常的神经活动。类似地,通过植入设备引起大脑关键区域活动的深部脑刺激,是治疗帕金森氏症等疾病的既定方法,甚至正在研究治疗抑郁症等疾病。)”可知,作者想通过例子说明微芯片植入的现有应用。故选C项。
11. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In reality, the pssibility f having strangers stick chips in yur brain is likely t prve unattractive, especially fr a ppulatin where millins get mad at fictinal micrchips in vaccines(疫苗), and even mre are frightened f dentists. (事实上,让陌生人在你的大脑里植入芯片的可能性很可能被证明是没有吸引力的,尤其是对于一个数百万人对疫苗中虚构的微芯片感到愤怒的人群,对于害怕牙医的人群来说更多。)”可知,在现实中,大多数美国人可能会拒绝对在大脑中植入芯片。故选A项。
12. 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段中“Hw many peple will actually want t have technlgy literally put int their brain? (有多少人真的想把科技真正地植入他们的大脑?)”可知,本文探讨了将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。D项“大脑控制技术:这可能吗?”符合主题,故选D项。

Cmpassin has nt been a traditinal characteristic f sprt. With its UK rts in 19th-century British public schls and universities, mdern sprt develped as way f creating strng military leaders, training them t develp adaptability defined in thse times by irn will and biting the bullet. Fear and harsh criticism were crucial t tughening up players and sldiers alike. The “tugh guy” narrative was strengthened by 20th-century media steretypes and Hllywd’s heres and became rted int sprt and sciety.
I’ve heard cuntless stries like the ppular culture I fund when I jined the Olympic rwing team in the mid-1990s. We were expected t suffer after mistakes r lsses t shw that we truly cared, and everyne believed caches needed t be severe and unfrgiving t get results. These appraches still exist. But an alternative apprach with cmpassin at its center addresses aims f perfrmance and wellbeing fr thse with greater ambitins.
This isn’t sme sft ptin which plays dwn hard wrk, as supprters f the earlier traditinal sprting mindset might criticize. Research acrss branches f psychlgy — behaviral, sprts, psitive — shws hw cmpassin creates the strngest fundatin fr adaptability and sustained perfrmance under pressure whether in sprt, the military, healthcare r business. Rather than activating ur threat system which began t help us survive way back, cmpassin helps us t feel safe and prtected, leaving us free t learn, cnnect with thers and start explring what we’re capable f.
The cntinuus need t imprve perfrmance has led tp caches t appreciate that high perfrmance requires levels f supprt t match the level f challenge. When yu prvide that, players start thriving while striving t achieve mre. Rted in cmpassin, a different cach-athlete relatinship thus develps.
The dictinary definitin f cmpassin includes the recgnitin f anther’s suffering and the desire and supprt t relieve it. Cmpassin has been shwn t decrease fear f failure and increase the likelihd f trying again when failure des happen. But hw many talented athletes experience that depth f supprt in mments f crisis and failure?

【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要论述了以同情为中心的训练方法的起源及在体育界的应用和其优势。
13. 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Cmpassin has nt been a traditinal characteristic f sprt. With its UK rts in 19th-century British public schls and universities, mdern sprt develped as way f creating strng military leaders, training them t develp adaptability defined in thse times by irn will and...”(同情心并不是体育运动的传统特征。现代体育起源于19世纪的英国公立学校和大学,作为培养强大军事领袖的一种方式而发展起来,训练他们发展适应能力,在那个时代,这种适应能力是由钢铁般的意志和……所定义的。)及最后一句“The “tugh guy” narrative was strengthened by 20th-century media steretypes and Hllywd’s heres and became rted int sprt and sciety.”(“硬汉”的叙事被20世纪媒体的刻板印象和好莱坞的英雄所强化,并扎根于体育和社会。)可知,钢铁般的意志和“biting the bullet”是早期军事领袖适应性强的一个特征,是一种硬汉形象的精神特征,故可以推测“biting the bullet”指坚韧不拔的精神,与前文“irn will”含义一致。故选D项。
14. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“We were expected t suffer after mistakes r lsses t shw that we truly cared, and everyne believed caches needed t be severe and unfrgiving t get results. These appraches still exist. But an alternative apprach with cmpassin at its center addresses aims f perfrmance and wellbeing fr thse with greater ambitins.”(我们被期望在犯错或输球后承受痛苦,以表明我们真的在乎,每个人都认为教练需要严厉和无情才能取得成绩。这些方法仍然存在。但另一种以同情为中心的方法,使那些有更大抱负的人实现了优秀的表现和幸福的目标。)可知,作者提到赛艇队的例子说明了当时以严厉和批评为主的训练方法,从而引出同情为中心的方法,说明这种方法更有优势,能实现更大的抱负。故选D项。
15. 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Research acrss branches f psychlgy — behaviral, sprts, psitive — shws hw cmpassin creates the strngest fundatin fr adaptability and sustained perfrmance under pressure whether in sprt, the military, healthcare r business. Rather than activating ur threat system which began t help us survive way back, cmpassin helps us t feel safe and prtected, leaving us free t learn, cnnect with thers and start explring what we’re capable f.”(跨心理学分支——行为、体育、积极心理学——研究表明,无论是在体育、军事、医疗还是商业领域,同情心都为适应压力和持续表现创造最坚实的基础。它不是激活帮助我们生存下去的威胁系统,相反,同情帮助我们感到安全和保护,让我们自由地学习,与他人联系,并开始探索我们的能力。)可知,本段主要论述了同情心对我们的重要作用,即应用同情心的重要性。故选B项。
16. 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Cmpassin has been shwn t decrease fear f failure and increase the likelihd f trying again when failure des happen. But hw many talented athletes experience that depth f supprt in mments f crisis and failure?”(同情心已经被证明可以减少对失败的恐惧,并在失败发生时增加再次尝试的可能性。但有多少天才运动员能在危机和失败的时刻得到如此深度的支持呢?)可知,同情心对运动员有好处,根据“but”转折可知,作者认为并没有多少杰出的运动员在面对失败和危机时能获得这样的支持。故选B项。

Mdern museums are trying everything they can t shre up declining attendance. Smehw, there always seems t be sme crisis that they are struggling against — a severe funding cut, fr example. What’s wrse, the unappreciative public is ging farther and farther away. S museums d what they can t attract peple, and the results are ccasinally wnderful and ccasinally laughable.
The wrst f such results ccurs when sme curatr, smene wh is in charge f a museum, decides that the reasn the audience isn’t puring thrugh the drs is that the cntent is ver their heads — the histry presented is t cmplex and plitical, the art t abstract, r the scientific explanatins t in-depth. What ccurs then is a unifrm simplifying f the exhibits. Text is minimized, and histrically significant pieces are passed ver in favr f thse mre pretty and pleasing. The museum becmes a place where peple g t lk at pretty things instead f a place fr learning, understanding and appreciating different cultures, art, and science.
All these effrts have given rise t the cncept f “edutainment”— a mixture in which learning is suppsed t be accmplished withut any effrt at all n the part f the visitr. Displays are cnstructed with an eye tward their entertainment value, with relevant facts slipped secretly in, as thugh learning were a bitter pill that must be sugarcated befre the average museum visitrs can be induced (劝诱) t swallw it. But true educatin is an active pursuit, nt smething ne receives like a piece f candy. The museum’s jb shuld be t inspire visitrs t lk deeper, nt t frce-feed them predigested facts.
If a museum becmes indistinguishable frm a theme park, it has failed. Nnprfit institutins exist because, if they did nt, n fr-prfit institutins wuld serve their functin. If active schlarship is missing, then by all means, supply it, instead f shaping the museum t resemble successful entertainment enterprises.
17. What can we learn frm paragraph 1?
A. Mdern museums succeed in raising funds.
B. Mdern museums have been quite appreciated.
C. Mdern museums are facing many challenges.
D. Mdern museums are ften far away frm city centers.

【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要叙述了当代博物馆存在的问题,作者认为博物馆要激发参观者对内容看得更深入,而不是背离教育本身,增加娱乐性去强行灌输简单事实。
17. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Mdern museums are trying everything they can t shre up declining attendance. Smehw, there always seems t be sme crisis that they are struggling against — a severe funding cut, fr example. What’s wrse, the unappreciative public is ging farther and farther away. (现代博物馆正在尽一切努力来提振不断下降的参观人数。不知怎么,他们似乎总是在与一些危机作斗争——例如,严重的资金削减。更糟糕的是,不领情的公众离我们越来越远。)”可知,现代博物馆面临很多挑战,比如:持续下降的参观人数和严重削减的资金。故选C。
18. 词义猜测题。破折号的作用是进一步解释前文内容。根据第二段破折号后内容“—the histry presented is t cmplex and plitical, the art t abstract, r the scientific explanatins t in-depth. (——呈现的历史太复杂和政治,艺术太抽象,或者科学解释太深入)”可知,一些博物馆馆长认为观众不蜂拥入场的原因是内容“太难了”,所以划线词“ver their heads”和“t difficult t understand”同义,故选D。
19. 推理判断题。根据第三段“But true educatin is an active pursuit, nt smething ne receives like a piece f candy. The museum’s jb shuld be t inspire visitrs t lk deeper, nt t frce-feed them predigested facts. (真正的教育是一种积极的追求,而不是像一块糖果一样接受。博物馆的工作应该是激励参观者看得更深入,而不是向他们强行灌输简单的事实)”和最后一段“If active schlarship is missing, then by all means, supply it, instead f shaping the museum t resemble successful entertainment enterprises.(如果缺少活跃的学术研究,那就尽一切办法提供它,而不是把博物馆塑造成成功的娱乐企业。)”可知,作者不赞同去把博物馆变成娱乐性企业,而是要激发参观者对内容看更深入,所以B选项“Entertainment shuldn’t be practiced in museums.(娱乐不应该在博物馆里实践)”符合题意。故选B。
20. 推理判断题。文章首段提出了博物馆现如今存在的问题,第二段描述了针对问题的解决办法,即增强娱乐性,三四段介绍了办法导致的后果以及作者的相关建议,所以本篇文章的目的是为了指出现代博物馆的一个问题。故选A。

While sme critics claim that histry curricula (课程) teach unnecessary cntent, thers argue that these curricula need t be mre cmprehensive. Despite nging debates abut cntent, ne universal truth remains: strng histry curricula are necessary fr develping the prductive citizens f tmrrw.
The greatest academic value that histry curricula prvide is nt the recall f imprtant dates and names. Rather, understanding the histrical inquiry prcess is the mst imprtant cmpnent. This prcess teaches students hw t becme critical thinkers and understand the dynamic nature f the telling f histry.
Thrugh strng histry curricula, students are shwn bth a variety f primary and secndary surces and are taught t critique them. This is where the histrical inquiry prcess begins.

Mre ften than nt, what we mean when we say smene“has an accent”is that their accent is different frm the lcal ne, r that prnunciatins are different frm ur wn. But this definitin f accents is limiting and culd give rise t prejudice. Funnily enugh, in terms f the language study, every persn speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in hw we prduce sunds that define ur accents. Even if yu dn’t hear it yurself, yu speak with sme srt f accent. In this sense, it’s pintless t pint ut that smene “has an accent”. We all d!
Every persn speaks a dialect, t. In the field f language study, a dialect is a versin f a language that is characterized by its variatins f structure, phrases and wrds. Fr instance, “Yu gt eat r nt?” (meaning “Have yu eaten?”) is an acceptable and understd questin in Singapre Oral English. The fact that this expressin wuld cause a standard American English speaker t take pause desn’t mean that Singapre Oral English is “wrng” r “ungrammatical”.

As athletes get strnger and faster, the pace f play cntinues t increase. The burden f making sure games are played accrding t the rules and that the fficiating (裁判) is accurate is nw being taken ut f human hands and falling mre and mre int the lap f technlgy. It’s called the vide replay.
The Natinal Ftball League is expanding its replay system this upcming seasn t include pass interference (传球干扰). Majr League Baseball nw relies n it fr safe-r-ut and hme run calls. If yu’ve been watching the FIFA Wrld Cup, yu may have nticed that the Vide Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key rle in almst every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a hrse was disqualified fr kncking anther hrse. N ne knew why until a vide replay cnfirmed the call and cntrversy was avided.
Hwever, many purists—thse wh want peple t fllw rules carefully and d things in the traditinal way—especially in sccer, argue it’s nt the way the game was invented, and that the vide replay is tainting the sprt. But dn’t yu want t see the prper applicatin f the rules thrughut the games? I knw I d. Yes, it can slw the game dwn, but I feel it is wrth it. If technlgical advancements allw fans watching frm hme t spt mistakes instantly, thse same views need t be available t the fficiating crews. Anther example ccurred in the mst recent Natinal Ftball Cnference (NFC) Champinship Game between the Ls Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. When bvius pass interference was cmmitted by the Ls Angeles Rams player Nickell Rbey-Cleman, with just 109 secnds t play, n flag was raised n the field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Ls Angeles Rams wn a 26-23 vertime victry. The n-call deeply angered the public. The vide replay shwed the referees had just missed ne f the mst apparent pass interference calls.
There are n easy answers regarding replay technlgy and whether it is a curse (魔咒). But fr me, keeping the fficiating hnest and n task is the right step in limiting cntrversy.
49. What trend in sprts can be bserved in paragraph 2?

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了随着运动员变得更加强壮和快速,比赛的节奏也越来越快,在确保比赛遵循规则和裁判准确性方面,越来越多地依靠于视频回放技术,以及在体育比赛中采用视频回放技术的优势和争议。文章提出使用视频回放技术可以让裁判更加公正和准确,并强调了保持裁判员诚实和任务的重要性。
49. 推理判断题。根据第二段“The Natinal Ftball League is expanding its replay system this upcming seasn t include pass interference (传球干扰). Majr League Baseball nw relies n it fr safe-r-ut and hme run calls. If yu’ve been watching the FIFA Wrld Cup, yu may have nticed that the Vide Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key rle in almst every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a hrse was disqualified fr kncking anther hrse. N ne knew why until a vide replay cnfirmed the call and cntrversy was avided.(在即将到来的赛季中,美国国家橄榄球联盟将扩大其回放系统,将传球干扰纳入其中。美国职业棒球大联盟现在依靠它来进行安全出局和本垒打。如果你一直在看世界杯,你可能已经注意到视频助理裁判(VAR)在几乎每场比赛中都发挥着关键作用。在肯塔基赛马比赛中,一匹马因撞到另一匹马而被取消资格。没有人知道为什么,直到视频回放证实了这一判罚,争议才得以避免。)”可知,美国国家橄榄球联盟、美国职业棒球大联盟,FIFA世界杯以及肯塔基赛马中都在依靠视频回放作出裁决,由此推知,视频回放在体育赛事中已被广泛使用。故选A。
50. 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的内容“Hwever, many purists—thse wh want peple t fllw rules carefully and d things in the traditinal way—especially in sccer, argue it’s nt the way the game was invented(然而,许多纯粹主义者——那些希望人们认真遵守规则,以传统方式做事的人——尤其是在足球领域,认为这不是这项运动的发明方式)”可知,许多纯粹主义者即以传统做事的人,在足球领域中认为这不是这项运动的发明方式,由此可知,许多纯粹主义者对视频回放持否定态度,他们认为视频回放玷污了这项运动。因此,画线词与C项“Damaging.(损坏)”为同义词。故选C。
51. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Ls Angeles Rams wn a 26-23 vertime victry. The n-call deeply angered the public. The vide replay shwed the referees had just missed ne f the mst apparent pass interference calls.(它削弱了新奥尔良圣徒队的士气。洛杉矶公羊队在加时赛中以26比23获胜。这一否决深深激怒了公众。录像回放显示,裁判刚刚错过了一个最明显的传球干扰判罚。)”可知,视频回放显示,裁判刚刚错过了一个十分明显的传球干扰判罚,而这削弱了新奥尔良圣徒队的士气。由此推知,新奥尔良圣徒队会认为这些裁判是不称职的。故选D。
52. 主旨大意题。通读全文,文章讲述了随着运动员变得更加强壮和快速,比赛的节奏也越来越快,在确保比赛遵循规则和裁判准确性方面,越来越多地依靠于视频回放技术,以及在体育比赛中采用视频回放技术的优势和争议。文章提出使用视频回放技术可以让裁判更加公正和准确,并强调了保持裁判员诚实和任务的重要性。B选项“Is technlgy like VAR a blessing in sprts?(像VAR这样的技术是体育界的福音吗?)”符合文章标题。故选B。
【14】(2023上·福建厦门·高三厦门一中校考期中)
Casting blame is natural: it is tempting t fault smene else fr a mistake rather than taking respnsibility yurself. But blame is als harmful. It makes it less likely that peple will wn up t mistakes, and thus less likely that rganizatins can learn frm them. Research published in 2015 suggests that firms whse managers pinted t external factrs t explain their failings underperfrmed cmpanies that blamed themselves.
Blame culture can spread like a virus. Just as children fear mm and dad’s punishment if they admit t wrngding, in a blaming envirnment, emplyees are afraid f criticism and punishment if they acknwledge making a mistake at wrk. Blame culture asks, “wh drpped the ball?” instead f “where did ur systems and prcesses fail?” The fcus is n the individuals, nt the prcesses. It’s much easier t pint fingers at a persn r department instead f ding the harder, but the mre beneficial, exercise f fixing the rt cause, in which case the prblem des nt happen again.
The N Blame Culture was intrduced t make sure errrs and deficiencies (缺陷) were highlighted by emplyees as early as pssible. It riginated in rganizatins where tiny errrs can have catastrphic (灾难性的) cnsequences. These are knwn as high reliability rganizatins (HROs) and include hspitals, submarines and airlines. Because errrs can be s disastrus in these rganizatins, it’s dangerus t perate in an envirnment where emplyees dn’t feel able t reprt errrs that have been made r raise cncerns abut that deficiencies may turn int future errrs. The N Blame Culture maximizes accuntability because all cntributins t the event ccurring are identified and reviewed fr pssible change and imprvement.
The Natinal Transprtatin Safety Bard (NTSB), which supervises air traffic acrss the United States, makes it clear that its rle is nt t assign blame r liability but t find ut what went wrng and t issue recmmendatins t avid a repeat. The prud recrd f the airline industry in reducing accidents partly reflects n-blame prcesses fr investigating crashes and clse calls. The mtive t learn frm errrs als exist when the risks are lwer. That is why sftware engineers and develpers rutinely investigate what went wrng if a website crashes r a server ges dwn.
There is an bvius wrry abut embracing blamelessness. What if the website keeps crashing and the same persn is at fault? Smetimes, after all, blame is deserved. The idea f the “just culture”, a framewrk develped in the 1990s by James Reasn, a psychlgist, addresses the cncern that the incmpetent and the malevlent (恶意的) will be let ff the hk. The line that Britain’s aviatin regulatr draws between hnest errrs and the ther srt is a gd starting-pint. It prmises a culture in which peple “are nt punished fr actins r decisins taken by them that match with their experience and training”. That narrws rm fr blame but des nt remve it entirely.
53. Accrding t the research published in 2015, cmpanies that ______ had better perfrmance.
A. blamed external factrsB. admitted their mistakes
C. cnducted investigatinsD. punished the under perfrmers
54. Accrding t the passage, what d yu learn abut the N Blame Culture?

B. It nly exists in high reliability rganizatins.
C. It enables peple t shift the blame nt thers.
D. It prevents rganizatins frm making any errr.
55. What is the majr cncern abut embracing blamelessness accrding t the passage?
A. Inncent peple might take the blame by admitting their failure.
B. Being blamed fr mistakes can destry trust in emplyees.
C. The line between hnest errrs and the ther srt is nt clear.
D. Peple wn’t learn their lessns if they aren’t blamed fr failures.
56. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the passage?
A. Why We Fail t Learn frm Our Own Mistakes
B. Hw t Avid Disastrus Errrs in Organizatins
C. Why We Shuld Stp the Blame Game at Wrk

Many schlars agree that a meaningful existence cmes dwn t three factrs: the cherence (连贯) f ne’s life, the pssessin f clear lng-term gals and the belief that ne’s life matters. But we believe there is anther element t cnsider.
Imagine the first butterfly yu stp t admire after a lng winter r the scenery atp a hill after a fresh hike. Smetimes existence delivers us small mments f beauty. When peple are pen t appreciating such experiences, these mments may enhance hw they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciatin, an ability t detect and admire life’s inner beauty as events happen.
T better understand this appreciatin, we cnducted a series f studies invlving ver 3,000 participants. Initially, we had participants rate their cping strategies t relieve their stress. Thse managing stress by fcusing n their appreciatin fr life’s beauty reprted experiencing life as highly meaningful. In the fllw-ups, we asked them t rate the extent t which they agreed with varius statements, such as “I have a great appreciatin fr the beauty f life” and ther statements related t cherence, purpse, existential mattering. Our results shwed that the mre peple indicated that they were “appreciating life”, the mre they felt their existence valuable. In the subsequent experiment, we further explred the phenmenn by asking participants t watch an awe-inspiring vide, they als reprted having a greater sense f experiential appreciatin and meaning in life in these mments, cmpared with thse watching mre neutral vides.
The final results cnfirmed ur riginal thery: appreciating small things can make life feel mre meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our mdern, fastpaced, prject-riented lifestyles fill the day with targets. We are n the g, attempting t maximize ur utput. This makes it easy t miss what is happening right nw.

Yu can’t see it, smell it, r hear it, and peple disagree n hw precisely t define it, r where exactly it cmes frm. It isn’t a schl subject r an academic discipline, but it can be learned. It is a quality that is required f artists, but it is als present in the lives f scientists and entrepreneurs.

It is a delicate thing, easily wiped ut; in fact, it blssms mst fully when peple are playful and childlike. Meanwhile, it wrks best in meeting with deep knwledge and expertise.
This mysterius—but teachable—quality is creativity, the subject f a recently-published reprt by Durham Cmmissin n Creativity and Educatin. The reprt cncludes that creativity shuld nt exist in the schl curriculum nly as it relates t drama, music, art and ther bviusly creative subjects, but that creative thinking ught t run thrugh all f schl life, infusing (充满) the way humanities and natural sciences are learned.
Nevertheless, it is arts subjects thrugh which creativity can mst bviusly be prmted. The value placed n them by the independent educatin is clear.

But in the state educatin the extreme fcus n English, maths and science threatens t destry arts subjects; meanwhile, reduced schl budgets mean decreasing extracurricular activities.
This difference between state and private educatin is a matter f scial justice. It is simply wrng and unfair that mst children have a small part f the access t chirs, art studis and drama that their mre privileged peers enjy.

When I mentined t sme friends that we all have accents, mst f them prudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese.” But this kind f reply misses the pint.
Mre ften than nt, what we mean when we say smene “has an accent” is that their accent is different frm the lcal ne, r that their prnunciatins are different frm ur wn. But this understanding f accents is limiting and culd give rise t prejudice (偏见). Funnily enugh, in the language study, every persn speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in hw we prduce sunds that decide ur accents. Even if yu dn’t hear it yurself, yu speak with sme srt f accent. In this sense, it’s pintless t pint ut that smene “has an accent”. We all d!
Every persn speaks a dialect (方言), t. In the field f language study, a dialect is a versin f a language that is characterized by its variatins f structure, phrases and wrds. Fr instance, “Yu gt eat r nt?” (meaning “Have yu eaten?”) is an acceptable and understd questin in Singapre Oral English. The fact that this expressin wuld cause a standard American English speaker t stp fr a while desn’t mean that Singapre Oral English is “wrng” r “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-frmed and clearly cmmunicative, accrding t native Singapre English speakers’ slid system f grammar. Why shuld it be wrng just because it’s different?
We need t mve beynd a narrw understanding f accents and dialects – fr the gd f everyne. Language differences like these prvide insights (深刻见解) int peple’s cultural experiences and backgrunds. In a glbal age, the way ne speaks is a distinct part f wh they are. Mst peple wuld be happy t talk abut the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn mre abut the wrld we live in and make friends alng the way.
69. What des the authr think f sme friends’ reply in paragraph 1?
A. It’s implite and wrng.B. It shws their language levels.
C. It reflects their self-cnfidence.D. It misses the real meaning f accents.
70. Why des the authr use the example f Singapre Oral English?

69. D 70. A 71. B 72. A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述的是语言差异可以帮助人们洞察他人的文化经历和背景,因此我们要欣赏口音和方言的价值。
69. 细节理解题。根据首段中的“When I mentined t sme friends that we all have accents, mst f them prudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese.” But this kind f reply misses the pint. (当我向一些朋友提到我们都有口音时,他们中的大多数人自豪地回答说:“嗯,我的英语/汉语说得很好。”但这种回答没有抓住要点。)”可知,作者在向朋友提到每人都有口音时,他们的回答没有切中要点,由此可知,作者认为他/她的朋友忽略了口音的真正含义。故选D项。
70. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Every persn speaks a dialect (方言), t. In the field f language study, a dialect is a versin f a language that is characterized by its variatins f structure, phrases and wrds.(每个人也说一种方言。在语言研究领域,方言是一种语言,其特点是其结构,短语和单词的变体。)”可知,方言也是一种语言,只是其结构、短语和单词发生了一些改变,每个人都在说着方言,进而在下文中列举了新加坡英语口语,结合下文中的“The sentence is well-frmed and clearly cmmunicative, accrding t native Singapre English speakers’ slid system f grammar. Why shuld it be wrng just because it’s different? (根据新加坡英语使用者坚实的语法体系,这个句子结构良好,沟通清晰。为什么仅仅因为它不同就应该是错误的?)”可知,作者认为不能因为它不同就认为它是错的,它仍然在被人们使用,综上信息可知,作者使用新加坡口语的例子是在为了证明方言是可以接受的。故选A项。
71. 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Language differences like these prvide insights (深刻见解) int peple’s cultural experiences and backgrunds.(像这样的语言差异可以洞察人们的文化经历和背景。)”可知,通过语言的差异可以洞察人们的文化经历和背景,结合下文中的“Mst peple wuld be happy t talk abut the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn mre abut the wrld we live in and make friends alng the way.(大多数人都乐于谈论他们语言背后的文化。我们会更多地了解我们生活的世界,并在这一过程中结交朋友。)”可知,大多数人都乐于谈论它们语言背后的文化,这样会让我们更多的了解我们生活的世界,也就是说在口音和方言有其存在的价值和意义,由此可知,作者在最后一段中建议我们欣赏口音和方言的价值。故选B项。
72. 主旨大意题。根据首段“When I mentined t sme friends that we all have accents, mst f them prudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese.” But this kind f reply misses the pint.(当我向一些朋友提到我们都有口音时,他们中的大多数人自豪地回答说:“嗯,我的英语/汉语说得很好。”但这种回答没有抓住要点。)”可知,作者利用自己的经历引出本文讲述的话题——人们对有口音的理解,结合尾段中的“We need t mve beynd a narrw understanding f accents and dialects – fr the gd f everyne. Language differences like these prvide insights (深刻见解) int peple’s cultural experiences and backgrunds. (为了每个人的利益,我们需要超越对口音和方言的狭隘理解。像这样的语言差异提供了对人们的文化经历和背景的洞察。)”可知,作者建议我们超越对口音和方言的狭隘理解,语言的差异通可以帮助我们洞察他人的文化经历和背景,综合以上信息可知,本文应该介绍的是人们都有口音,而且每种口音和方言都有其价值,作者建议欣赏口音和方言的价值,所以本文的题目为“每人都有口音”涵盖了本文的内容,且可以概括本文的主题。故选A项。
【19】(2023上·湖北·高三校联考阶段练习)
Happiness, as I see it, cmprises five elements: spiritual well-being (meaning and purpse), physical well-being (nutritin, exercise), intellectual well-being (curisity, deep learning), relatinal well-being (kindness and genersity), and emtinal well-being (cultivating psitive emtins). As an interdependent aggregate f these five elements f SPIRE, happiness is abut much mre than experiencing pleasure.
As Aristtle put it, happiness is the ultimate purpse f life, meaning hw we spend ur everyday lives is ultimately guided by what we think wuld make us happier. This is nt a gd r a bad thing. It simply is, like the law f nature. Even peple wh are tirelessly wrking fr an imprtant cause, fr example, t get rid f wrld hunger, are ding it because they find their wrk meaningful. Meaning is an element f happiness.
One barrier t happiness has t d with the expectatin that happiness is an unbrken chain f psitive emtins. This expectatin, hwever, prevents peple frm experiencing happiness because painful emtins dn’t g away but grw strnger when we reject them.
The secnd barrier has t d with equating happiness with success. It’s a cmmnly held belief that happiness can be attained by achieving certain gals, like mney r fame. Peple tend t think if they finally find success, they will autmatically becme happy.
The third barrier has t d with the way peple pursue happiness. We want t be happy fr many reasns. After all, we are cnstantly tld that happiness is gd fr ur health, relatinships, and wrk utcmes. Yet, if I wake up in the mrning and decide t pursue happiness straight, I will becme less happy.
But hw? Indirectly. As is knwn, if yu lk up at the sun directly, yu’ll hurt yurself. But if yu take the same sun rays and break them dwn, yu’ll enjy the clrs f a rainbw. Similarly, pursuing happiness directly can hurt us; pursuing it indirectly—by breaking it dwn int smething like the SPIRE elements—can cntribute t ur well-being. Starting a meditatin practice, exercising, perfrming acts f kindness, learning smething new, r expressing gratitude fr what we have are all indirect ways f pursuing happiness.
73. What des the underlined wrd “aggregate” prbably mean in the first paragraph?
A. Cmbinatin.B. Cnclusin.C. Accumulatin.D. Assciatin.
74. What’s the authr’s attitude twards hw we spend ur daily lives?

【答案】
73. A 74. C 75. D 76. B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者探讨了幸福的五大组成部分(SPIRE)及三种追求幸福路上的障碍,并认为间接追求幸福是最好的方式。
73. 词义猜测题。分析语境和句意可知,画线单词短语“As an interdependent aggregate f these five elements f SPIRE (作为这五个要素相互依赖的……)”与该段第一句“Happiness, as I see it, cmprises five elements…(在我看来,幸福包括五个要素……)”在解释“幸福”这一词的含义上是同义表达。在作者看来,幸福是由五个元素组成,即,幸福是五大元素的集合或结合。由此可推知“aggregate”可用“cmbinatin (组合,结合)”解释。故选A项。
74. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“As Aristtle put it, happiness is the ultimate purpse f life, meaning hw we spend ur everyday lives is ultimately guided by what we think wuld make us happier. This is nt a gd r a bad thing. It simply is, like the law f nature. (正如亚里士多德所说,幸福是人生的终极目的,这意味着我们如何度过日常生活,最终是由我们认为能让我们更快乐的事情来指导的。这不是好事也不是坏事。就像自然法则一样。)”可知,人们如何度过日常生活,最终是由人们认为能让自己更快乐的事情来指导的,作者用“这不是一件好的或者坏的事情,它只是像自然法则一样”来给与评价,这是客观性的评价,由此可推知,作者对此持有客观中立态度。故选C项。
75. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段内容“Similarly, pursuing happiness directly can hurt us; pursuing it indirectly—by breaking it dwn int smething like the SPIRE elements—can cntribute t ur well-being. (同样,直接追求幸福也会伤害我们;通过将其分解为类似精神五大元素的东西来间接地追求它,可以为我们的幸福做出贡献。)”可知,间接地追求幸福,即,把它分解成像SPIRE五大元素之类的东西,通过某个元素追求可以有助于实现幸福。故选D项。
76. 推理判断题。分析语境可知,最后一段“As is knwn, if yu lk up at the sun directly, yu’ll hurt yurself. But if yu take the same sun rays and break them dwn, yu’ll enjy the clrs f a rainbw. (众所周知,如果你抬头直视太阳,你会伤到自己。但是如果你把同样的太阳光分解,你就会享受到彩虹的颜色。)”中提及直视太阳会让自己受伤,间接看太阳则会看到彩虹,紧接着用“Similarly (相似地,同样)”这一词引出后文“pursuing happiness directly can hurt us; pursuing it indirectly—by breaking it dwn int smething like the SPIRE elements—can cntribute t ur well-being (直接追求幸福也会伤害我们;通过将其分解为类似精神五大元素的东西来间接地追求它,可以为我们的幸福做出贡献)”讨论,“直视太阳”就相当于“直接追求幸福”,“把阳光分解”就相当于“将幸福分解为五大元素”。由此可知,作者这里提及阳光是为了做类比,让人在理解时更加具体化。故选B项。

Have yu ever wndered why ther peple dn’t see things the same way yu d? Isn’t it cnfusing that yu dn’t necessarily share the same viewpints even when yu cme frm the same family?

77. B 78. D 79. A 80. D
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了为什么每个人看待事情的方式不同,并指出正是由于人与人之间的不同才让生活丰富多彩。
77. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“With every external event yu experience, the infrmatin cmes in and is filtered (过滤) thrugh yur emtins, memries, and values. Hw yu ‘see’ yurself, thers, and the wrld yu live in will be flavred by what yu’ve experienced r believe t be true.(随着你经历的每一个外部事件,信息进来,并通过你的情绪、记忆和价值观进行过滤。你如何“看待”自己、他人和你生活的世界,将受到你所经历或相信的真实情况的影响)”可知,在信息加工过程中,情绪,记忆和经历在处理信息时起作用,没有提到个性特征。故选B项。
78. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There will be times in yur life when bundaries may need t be enfrced with thers and, at the end f the day, yu want t feel understd and appreciated. Learning t hnr yur viewpints, while thers have their wn is vital fr cexisting in a wrld where every individual is perfectly unique.(在你的生活中,有时可能需要与他人建立界限,在一天结束的时候,你想要感到被理解和欣赏。学会尊重自己的观点,而其他人有他们自己的观点,这对于在一个每个人都完全独特的世界中共存至关重要)”可推断,当出现意见分歧时,作者建议尊重你和他人的建议 。故选D项。
79. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“But what if yu’re missing the imprtant pint that yur differences are what make life clrful? Thse differences are what stimulate yur mind and emtins. Withut differences, life wuld be dull. There wuld be n‘aha’mments if yu knew everything.

80. 主旨大意题。根据文章内容,结合第二段中“Hw yu ‘see’ yurself, thers, and the wrld yu live in will be flavred by what yu’ve experienced r believe t be true. In ther wrds, yu dn’t see things as they are — yu see things as yu are.(你如何“看待”自己、他人和你生活的世界,将受到你所经历或相信的真实情况的影响。换句话说,你看到的不是事物的本来面目,而是你认为的样子)”可知,文章开头通过提出一系列问题来引出文章主题——为什么别人和你的想法不同,接着对此作出解释,因为我们看待事情的方式受到个人经验等的影响,最后指出正是由于人与人之间的差异才让生活丰富多彩。由此可知,D项“是什么让你认为自己是对的”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

81. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Medical artificial intelligence(AI) can perfrm with expert-level accuracy and deliver cst-effective care. IBM’s Watsn diagnses heart disease better than dctrs d. Chatbts give better medical advice t patients in place f nurses. Smartphne apps can nw detect skin cancer. (医疗人工智能可以以专家级的精度运转,并提供具有成本效益的护理。IBM的Watsn比医生更好地诊断心脏病。聊天机器人代替护士为患者提供更好的医疗建议。智能手机应用程序现在可以检测皮肤癌症。)”可知,医疗人工智能能够进行专业化的操作和提供低成本的护理,并举了Watsn、聊天机器人、智能手机应用程序的例子来说明人工智能在医疗领域的应用。由此可推测出,作者通过举例子的方法来解释医疗人工智能的应用。故选C。
82. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“By cntrast, they see AI medical care as inflexible and standardized-suited t treat an average patient but nt enugh t deal with unique individual circumstances. It is n wnder that medical AI prviders are given a cld welcme.(相比之下,他们认为人工智能医疗不灵活且标准化,适合治疗普通患者,但不足以应对独特的个人情况。难怪医疗人工智能提供商受到冷遇。)”可知,人们认为医疗人工智能不灵活且标准化,所以并不接受它。故选D。
83. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Fr example, they can remve the cncerns abut being treated as an average patient by giving their recmmendatins specifically and uniquely.(例如,他们可以通过具体而独特的建议来消除人们对被当作普通患者进行治疗的担忧。)”可知,可以把人们当作个体来治疗,给患者提出个性化的治疗方案,从而让医疗人工智能为患者所接受。故选B。

Psychlgist Prfessr Christpher Byle and scial scientist Dr. Kathy McKay als criticize the idea emplyed by parents—Santa Claus judges children t be nice r naughty. Writing in a well-knwn jurnal, they argue, “If they are capable f lying abut smething s special and magical, can they be relied upn t cntinue as the guardians f wisdm and truth?”
Defending the claims, Prf Byle said, “The mrality f making children believe in such myths has t be questined. All children will eventually find ut they’ve been cnsistently lied t fr years, and this might make them wnder what ther lies they’ve been tld. Whether it’s right t make children believe in Father Christmas is an interesting questin, and it’s als interesting t ask whether lying in this way will affect children in ways that have nt been cnsidered.”
Dr. McKay, frm the University f New England in Australia, said there was clear evidence frm the wrld f make-believe in mvies and TV that adults lked fr a chance t be children again. “The persistence f fandm(影迷) in stries like Harry Ptter and Star Wars indicates their desire t briefly re-enter childhd,” she said. “Hwever,” she added, “if adults have been lying abut Santa, even thugh it has usually been well intentined, what else is a lie? If Santa isn’t real, are fairies real? Is magic? Is Gd?”
They cnclude, “Many peple may lng fr a time when imaginatin was accepted and encuraged, which may nt be the case in adult life. Might it be the case that the harshness f real life requires the creatin f smething better, smething t believe in, smething t hpe fr in the future r t return t a lng-lst childhd a lng time ag in a galaxy far far away?”

When drnes (无人机) first became widely available arund 15 years ag, it wasn’t uncmmn t find tech peple painting dramatic pictures f hw they were sn ging t change the wrld. Hwever, if yu lk up int the largely empty sky, yu can see that hasn’t happened yet.
Sure, drnes are useful fr taking aerial (空中的) phts, but we’re a lng way away frm aerial superhighways, packed with autnmus drnes carrying parcels at speeds that are near-impssible n the grund.
In 2016, Amazn annunced it had cmpleted its first ever aerial delivery. In a vide, we saw an Amazn “Prime Air” drne pick up a parcel and fly it acrss the cuntryside landing in the buyer’s garden, drpping the parcel, and then returning t its hme base. But Amazn still hasn’t cmpleted its secnd drne delivery. In fact, it has reprtedly dwnsized the drne prgram.
S, will drne delivery ever be a thing? There are sme indicatins f a pssible drne delivery future nt in Britain, but in Africa. Because als since 2016, rural hspitals in Rwanda have been receiving regular shipments f medical supplies by drne thanks t a cmpany called Zipline. It surely has saved lives, thanks t the speed at which bld can be delivered in a cuntry with a prly develped rad netwrk. S culd we ever expect such a system here?
Unfrtunately, there’s a big difference between rural Africa and thickly ppulated Britain. British hmes dn’t have large gardens where t land and nbdy wants lud large drnes cnstantly landing arund the neighburhd. Anther reality is that British cities may still have security and safety cncerns abut rutinely having drnes carrying stuff ver ur heads.
That’s why I wnder if the real drne future culd be crawling (爬) alng the grund. Fr a few years, “autnmus delivery rbts” with wheels have been walking n the pavements. S perhaps we’re nt s far away frm a drne delivery future, but the reality might be a little bit mre dwn t earth.
93. What can we learn frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. Drnes are widely used in daily life.
B. Drnes have made delivery efficient.
C. Drnes are designed t take aerial phts.
D. Drnes haven’t changed the wrld as expected.
94. Why des the authr mentin Zipline’s drne delivery?
A. T explain the prcess f drne delivery.
B. T stress the prfits brught by drne delivery.
C. T discuss the pssibility f a drne delivery future.
D. T shw its advantages ver Amazn’s drne delivery.
95. What is paragraph 5 mainly abut?

C. The differences between African cuntries and Britain.
D. The reasns why drne delivery isn’t suitable fr Britain.
96. What is the best title fr the text?

【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要探讨的是无人机送货是否能成为现实。
93. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“When drnes (无人机) first became widely available arund 15 years ag, it wasn’t uncmmn t find tech peple painting dramatic pictures f hw they were sn ging t change the wrld. Hwever, if yu lk up int the largely empty sky, yu can see that hasn’t happened yet.(大约15年前,当无人机第一次被广泛使用时,人们经常看到科技人员描绘出他们将如何很快改变世界的戏剧性画面。然而,如果你仰望空旷的天空,你会发现这一切还没有发生。)”可知,无人机并没有像人们预期的那样改变世界。故选D。
94. 推理判断题。根据第四段的“S, will drne delivery ever be a thing? There are sme indicatins f a pssible drne delivery future nt in Britain, but in Africa.(那么,无人机送货会成为现实吗?有迹象表明,未来无人机送货可能不是在英国,而是在非洲。)”可知,作者提到Zipline的无人机送货是为了讨论未来无人机送货的可能性。故选C。
95. 主旨大意题。根据第五段的“British hmes dn’t have large gardens where t land and nbdy wants lud large drnes cnstantly landing arund the neighburhd. Anther reality is that British cities may still have security and safety cncerns abut rutinely having drnes carrying stuff ver ur heads.(英国家庭没有大花园可供降落,也没有人希望大型无人机不断在附近降落。另一个现实是,英国城市可能仍然会对无人机在我们头顶上运送物品的常规做法感到安全担忧。)”可知,第五段主要讲的是无人机送货不适合英国的原因。故选D。
96. 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段的“Sure, drnes are useful fr taking aerial (空中的) phts, but we’re a lng way away frm aerial superhighways, packed with autnmus drnes carrying parcels at speeds that are near-impssible n the grund.(当然,无人机在拍摄航拍照片方面很有用,但我们离空中高速公路还有很长的路要走,那里挤满了自动驾驶无人机,它们以在地面上几乎不可能的速度运送包裹。)”和最后一段的“S perhaps we’re nt s far away frm a drne delivery future, but the reality might be a little bit mre dwn t earth.(因此,也许我们离无人机送货的未来并不遥远,但现实可能会更接地气一些。)”可知,本文主要讲的是无人机送货是否能成为现实,因此最好的题目是A选项“Drne Delivery Future: Pie in the Sky(无人机送货的未来:天上的馅饼)”。故选A。

We humans are in truble. We have let lse a new evlutinary prcess that we dn’t understand and can’t cntrl.
The latest leaps frward in artificial intelligence (AI) are rightly causing anxiety. Yet peple are respnding as thugh AI is just ne mre scary new technlgy, like electricity r cars nce were. We invented it, the argument ges, s we shuld be able t manage it fr ur wn benefit. Nt s. I believe that this situatin is new and ptentially dangerus.
My thinking starts frm the premise that all design anywhere in the universe is created by the evlutinary algrithm (算法). This is the prcess in which sme kind f infrmatin is cpied many times, the cpies vary slightly and nly sme are selected t be cpied again. The infrmatin is called the replicatr (复制者), and ur mst familiar example is the gene.
But genes aren’t the nly replicatr, as Richard Dawkins stressed in The Selfish Gene. Peple cpy habits, stries, wrds, technlgies and sngs; we change, recmbine and pass them n in ever greater variety. This secnd replicatr, evlving much faster than genes ever culd, Dawkins called memes (模仿传递行为) — and they are selfish t.
As we face up t the recent explsin in AI, new questins arise. Culd a third replicatr take advantage f the first tw? And what wuld happen if it did?
Fr billins f years, all f the Earth’s rganisms were gene machines, until, abut 2 millin years ag, just ne species — ur ancestrs — started imitating sunds, gestures and ways f prcessing fd. They had let lse a secnd replicatr and turned us int meme machines. Fllwing the same principle, culd a third replicatr appear if sme bject we made started cpying, varying and selecting a new kind f infrmatin?
It culd, and I believe it has. Our digital technlgy can cpy, stre and spread vast amunts f infrmatin with near-perfect accuracy. While we had mstly been the nes selecting what t cpy and share, that is changing nw. Mindless algrithms chse which ads we see and which news stries they “think” we wuld like. Once a digital replicatr takes ff, its prducts will evlve fr its wn benefit, nt urs.
All is nt lst, thugh. We already cpe with fast-evlving parasites such as viruses by using ur immune systems, machines and vaccines. Nw, we need t build ur cllective mental immunity, ur critical thinking and ur ability t prtect ur attentin frm all that selfish infrmatin. Taking lessns frm evlutin, we can stp imagining we are the cntrllers f ur accidentally dangerus ffspring and start learning hw t live with them.
101. As fr peple’s attitude tward AI, the authr is ____________.
A. disapprvingB. uncncerned
C. sympatheticD. tlerant
102. Accrding t the passage, Richard Dawkins may agree that ____________.
A. memes are cmpsed f selfish genesB. the speed f evlutin is underestimated

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者在文中探讨了人工智能的最新发展所带来的焦虑和人类的应对办法。
101. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Yet peple are respnding as thugh AI is just ne mre scary new technlgy, like electricity r cars nce were. We invented it, the argument ges, s we shuld be able t manage it fr ur wn benefit. Nt s. I believe that this situatin is new and ptentially dangerus.(然而,人们的反应似乎是,人工智能只不过是又一项可怕的新技术,就像曾经的电力或汽车一样。这种观点认为,我们发明了它,所以我们应该能够为了自己的利益来管理它。不是这样的。我认为这种情况是新的,而且有潜在的危险。)”可知,人们认为人工智能与曾经的电力或汽车一样,不会给人类带来威胁,但作者并不赞成这一观点。故选A项。
102. 推理判断题。根据第三段“But genes aren’t the nly replicatr, as Richard Dawkins stressed in The Selfish Gene. Peple cpy habits, stries, wrds, technlgies and sngs; we change, recmbine and pass them n in ever greater variety. This secnd replicatr, evlving much faster than genes ever culd, Dawkins called memes (模仿传递行为) — and they are selfish t.(但正如理查德·道金斯在《自私的基因》中强调的那样,基因并不是唯一的复制因子。人们复制习惯、故事、文字、技术和歌曲;我们改变、重组并以更大的变化将它们传递下去。第二种复制因子,进化得比基因快得多,道金斯称之为模因——它们也很自私。)”可知,理查德·道金斯认为基因和模因都很很自私。所以他会赞同“基因和模因有一个共同的特征”这一说法。故选D项。
103. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We already cpe with fast-evlving parasites such as viruses by using ur immune systems, machines and vaccines. Nw, we need t build ur cllective mental immunity, ur critical thinking and ur ability t prtect ur attentin frm all that selfish infrmatin. Taking lessns frm evlutin, we can stp imagining we are the cntrllers f ur accidentally dangerus ffspring and start learning hw t live with them.(我们已经通过免疫系统、机器和疫苗来应对病毒等快速进化的寄生物。现在,我们需要建立我们的集体精神免疫力,我们的批判性思维和我们保护我们的注意力不受所有自私信息影响的能力。从进化中吸取教训,我们可以停止想象我们是我们意外危险后代的控制者,并开始学习如何与他们相处。)”可推知,作者认为人类可以从过去战胜寄生物的经历中总结经验,从人类的进化过程中吸取教训,用来指导未来的行动,来应对人工智能这种新的威胁。所以,从最后一段中可以推出“过去的经验与未来的行动有关。”。故选D项。
104. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“We humans are in truble. We have let lse a new evlutinary prcess that we dn’t understand and can’t cntrl.(我们人类有麻烦了。我们已经释放了一个我们不理解也无法控制的新的进化过程。)”、第二段中“We invented it, the argument ges, s we shuld be able t manage it fr ur wn benefit. Nt s. I believe that this situatin is new and ptentially dangerus.(这种观点认为,我们发明了它,所以我们应该能够为了自己的利益来管理它。不是这样的。我认为这种情况是新的,而且有潜在的危险。)”和倒数第二段中“Once a digital replicatr takes ff, its prducts will evlve fr its wn benefit, nt urs.(一旦数字复制器起飞,它的产品将为自己的利益而进化,而不是为我们的利益。)”可推知,作者在文中反复表达人工智能的新进化可能会给人类来带威胁,产生负面影响。故选C项。

Mst parents are wrried the first time they catch their kids ut in a lie. Accrding t child and teen psychiatrist Gayani DeSilva, lying can actually be a sign f healthy develpment in yung children. “Kids lie fr many reasns, and much f it is nrmal,” DeSilva says. “Peple are nt brn with the knwledge f cmmunicating with thers and getting their needs met. They’ll experiment with different cmmunicatin styles and techniques until they find the nes that wrk best fr them. Lying is ne f thse techniques.”
As kids get lder, they becme mre aware f hw their actins affect thers, and many will lie less frequently. In spite f this, parents still need t lead their kids t frm a habit f nt lying.

It’s als a gd idea t mdel the behavir yu want t see in yur kids. In ther wrds, dn’t lie t yur children. This will set yu and yur children n a curse f pen cmmunicatin and trust.
In sme cases, lying is a sign f a deeper issue. A child wh is neglected will lie mre than a child wh has attentive and respnsive parents. He’s nt sure whether he’s lved. He may lie t please thers. The same ges fr a child wh has experienced smething unpleasant. He may lie t try t hide his shame, avid admitting his needs, r t cntrl his surrundings t ensure his safety.
By paying attentin t the reasns behind a lie, parents can figure ut what need t be dne. Fr example, while Jack might lie abut cmpleting his hmewrk in rder t play vide games, he als might be trying t avid negative feelings cnnected with schl wrk, and this is just where parents shuld start, says therapist Giden Javna.
105. What can be inferred abut lying frm DeSilva’s wrds?

【答案】
105. C 106. B 107. D 108. D
【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要探讨了家长应该如何看待并处理孩子的撒谎问题。
105. 推理判断题。根据第一段中DeSilva说的话““Kids lie fr many reasns, and much f it is nrmal,” DeSilva says. “Peple are nt brn with the knwledge f cmmunicating with thers and getting their needs met. They’ll experiment with different cmmunicatin styles and techniques until they find the nes that wrk best fr them. Lying is ne f thse techniques.”(“孩子撒谎有很多原因,其中大部分是正常的,”DeSilva说:“人们并非生来就具有与他人沟通和满足自己需求的知识。他们会尝试不同的交流方式和技巧直到他们找到最适合自己的。撒谎就是其中的一项技能”)”可知,孩子们不是一出生就懂得交流的技巧,撒谎只不过是他们在经过尝试后,认为比较有效的一种沟通方法。故选C。
106. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Accrding t DeSilva, when children lie, lk at them directly and ask what they need. After they tell yu, gently remind them that telling yu directly will be mre effective than lying.(根据DeSilva的话,当孩子撒谎时,直接看着他们并问他们需要什么。在他们告诉你后,温柔地告诉他们,直接讲实话比撒谎更有效)”可知,家长要鼓励孩子承认自己的需求。故选B。
107. 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“In sme cases, lying is a sign f a deeper issue.(某些情况里,撒谎是更深层次问题的标志)”,接着举了两个小孩的例子,可知,举这两个小孩的例子是为了说明撒谎反映了更深层次的问题——人们在精神上的问题。故选D。
108. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“By paying attentin t the reasns behind a lie, parents can figure ut what need t be dne. Fr example, while Jack might lie abut cmpleting his hmewrk in rder t play vide games, he als might be trying t avid negative feelings cnnected with schl wrk, and this is just where parents shuld start, says therapist Giden Javna.(通过关注撒谎背后的原因,父母可以弄明白需要做些什么。例如,当杰克撒谎说完成了作业是为了玩游戏时,其实他也可能试图避免与学业有关的负面情绪,这正是家长应该介入的地方,治疗师Giden Javna说)”可知,根据Giden Javna的说法,杰克的父母应该先倾听孩子的问题,并帮助解决作业方面的问题。故选D。

While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple slutin, it wuld encurage peple t spend even mre time lking at digital screens and end access t many f the benefits f libraries. In many areas, libraries are such an imprtant part f the cmmunity netwrk that they culd never be replaced by a simple bject.

【答案】
109. A 110. B 111. D 112. C
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了公共图书馆不应该被平板电脑所代替,并给出了理由。
109. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“sme peple have suggested that public libraries shuld be shut dwn and everyne shuld be given an iPad with an e-reader subscriptin (订阅). They believe that it will save lcal cities and twns mney, prvide mre materials and encurage mre peple t read.(一些人建议关闭公共图书馆,给每个人发一个订阅电子阅读器的iPad。他们认为,这将节省当地城镇的资金,提供更多的材料,并鼓励更多的人阅读)”可知,数字阅读的支持者认为关闭图书馆可以节省资金,故他们可能会同意A项“图书馆花费了城镇或城市太多的钱”的观点。故选A。
110. 推理判断题。第二段中“First, digital bks and resurces are related t less learning and mre prblems than print resurces.(首先,与印刷资源相比,数字图书和资源涉及的学习更少,问题更多)”提到数字图书会引起更多学习问题,接着下文“A study fund that peple read 20-30% slwer n tablets, keep 20% less infrmatin, and understand 10% less f what they read.(一项研究发现,人们在平板电脑上阅读的速度要慢20-30%,保留的信息少20%,理解的内容也少10%)”使用一些研究中的数据来说明,故选B。
111. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sme f these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving peple a way t cmmunicate with their neighbrs, hlding classes n a variety f tpics, prviding jbs, answering visitr questins, and keeping the cmmunity cnnected. One neighbrhd fund that, ver a third f residents reprted feeling mre cnnected t their cmmunity after a series f lcal library instituted cmmunity events.(其中一些好处包括作为一个安静的学习空间,给人们一个与邻居交流的方式,举办各种主题的课程,提供工作,回答游客的问题,并保持社区的联系。一个社区发现,超过三分之一的居民报告说,在一系列当地图书馆组织的社区活动之后,他们与社区的联系更加紧密了)”可知,人们更喜欢实体图书馆是因为图书馆让他们和社区的联系更加紧密,他们会觉得和邻居更亲近,故选D。
112. 推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合最后一段中“In many areas, libraries are such an imprtant part f the cmmunity netwrk that they culd never be replaced by a simple bject.(在许多地区,图书馆是社区网络的重要组成部分,它们永远不会被一个简单的物体所取代)”可知,文章主要论述了公共图书馆不应该被平板电脑所代替,并给出了理由,故本文目的是论证图书馆不应该被平板电脑所代替,故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文叙述了当人们犯错误的时候,人们往往埋怨外界的条件,去责怪其他的人,而不去找自身的原因,去找到解决问题的方法。而成功的人却往往不去责备其他的人,却主动找到解决问题的方法,这就是他们成功的秘诀。
113. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Hwever, yu can have great pwer ver what happens t yu if yu stp fcusing n whm t blame and start fcusing n hw t imprve the situatin. This is the winner’s key t success.(然而,如果你不再专注于责怪谁,而是开始专注于如何改善现状,你就能对发生在你身上的事情有很大的影响力。这是成功者成功的关键。)”可知,从成功的人士的身上可以学到的是处理问题而不是责备其他的人,这样才能获得成功。故选C。
114. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Winners are great at vercming prblems. Fr example, if yu were late because yur car brke dwn, maybe yu need t have yur car examined mre regularly. Or, yu might start t carry alng with yu the useful phne numbers, s yu culd call fr help when in need.

(另一个例子,如果你的同事因为缺乏责任感或能力而给你带来了工作上的问题,找到方法来处理他的不负责任或无能,而不是简单地责怪那个人。)”可知,作者通过举例的方式说明成功者善于克服困难的道理。故选A。
115. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They are just better at seeing thse prblems as challenges and pprtunities t develp their wn talents. (他们只是更善于将这些问题视为挑战和发展自己才能的机会。)”可知,成功人士把问题看成是挑战和发展自己才能的机会。故选B。

Cntrary t ppular pinin, the scientific pursuit fr knwledge is nt a predictable and well-defined prcess. T make new discveries, researchers need the freedm t be creative, fail, and learn by chance. There is the rmantic idea f the scientist wh has an Eureka mment (顿悟时刻) and suddenly arrives at new insights. Anther impressin is that research nly invlves frmal steps. Neither f thse ideas is crrect.
“Science and art are tw different ways t make smething understandable r imaginable,” says Bichemistry Prfessr Dlf Weijers. “Frm the utside, the research prcess lks very frmal and the artistic prcess lks smewhat messy. But the scientific prcess can als unfld (展开) in an unpredictable way. Creative and assciative thinking is very imprtant fr scientists t gain insight and make cnnectins.”
There is an intersectin (交叉点) between science and art. This is why Wageningen scientists lk t artists fr inspiratin and exchange ideas abut hw t amplify creative freedm. Weijers and his clleague Jris Sprakel, tgether with ther scientists and artists, have designed a plan t learn frm each ther and t exchange ideas. One example is the recent and special prject in which they measured the frces that act n plant cells. A mlecular (分子) sensr was used t visualise the different frces. They revealed the results in clurful images, each representing a different frce.
What science and art als have in cmmn is that they are tpics f discussin in sciety. There are peple wh say that they d nt value art and peple wh mistrust science. “It ften creates the wrng impressin because nly the results f scientific studies are presented, and peple d nt have any insight int the artistic prcess leading t discvery. As a scientist, yu are criticised if yu say that smething is different a few years later. Then yu are viewed as unreliable. But what is ften prly understd is that there are n final results in science,” says Weijers.

【答案】
117. A 118. A 119. C 120. D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了艺术在科学研究中的作用,艺术与科学之间是有交叉的。
117. 主旨大意题。根据第一段内容“Cntrary t ppular pinin, the scientific pursuit fr knwledge is nt a predictable and well-defined prcess. T make new discveries, researchers need the freedm t be creative fail, and learn by chance. There is the rmantic idea f the scientist wh has an Eureka mment (顿悟时刻) and suddenly arrives at new insights. Anther impressin is that research nly invlves frmal steps. Neither f thse ideas is crrect.(与流行的观点相反,对知识的科学追求不是一个可预测和明确定义的过程。为了有新的发现,研究人员需要创造性、失败和偶然学习的自由。有一个浪漫的想法,科学家突然有了一个顿悟的时刻,突然有了新的见解。另一个印象是,研究只涉及正式步骤。这些想法都不正确。)”可知,第一段主要讨论人们对于科学研究的看法。故选A。
118. 推理判断题。根据第二段Weijers说的话“Science and art are tw different ways t make smething cmprehensible r imaginable(科学和艺术是使事物变得可理解或可想象的两种不同方式)”和“But the scientific prcess can als unfld (展开) in an unpredictable way. Creative and assciative thinking is very imprtant fr scientists t gain insight and make cnnectins.(但科学过程也可能以一种不可预测的方式展开。创造性和联想思维对科学家获得洞察力和建立联系非常重要。)”可知,从Weijers的观点中我们可以了解到科学家应该具有创造性和联想性思维。故选A。
119. 词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Creative and assciative thinking is very imprtant fr scientists t gain insight and make cnnectins.(创造性和联想思维对科学家获得洞察力和建立联系非常重要。)”和第三段的“There is an intersectin (交叉点) between science and art.(科学和艺术之间有交集。)”和“lk t artists fr inspiratin and exchange ideas(从艺术家那里寻找灵感并交流想法)”可知,划线词所在句子表示“科学和艺术之间有交集。这就是为什么瓦赫宁根的科学家们从艺术家那里寻找灵感,并就如何扩大创作自由交换意见”,因此划线词amplify的意思是“扩大,增加”,和increase意思相近,故选C。
120. 推理判断题。第三段第一句“There is an intersectin (交叉点) between science and art. (科学和艺术之间有交叉。)”和“One example is the recent and special prject in which they measured the frces that act n plant cells. A mlecular (分子) sensr was used t visualise the different frces. They revealed the results in clurful images, each representing a different frce.(一个例子是最近的一个特殊项目,他们测量了作用在植物细胞上的力。一个分子传感器被用来观察不同的力。他们用彩色图像展示了实验结果,每张图像代表一种不同的力。)”可知,通过Weijers的关于植物细胞的研究事例说明艺术与科学之间的交叉融合,表明艺术与科学的联系。故选D。
