    高考阅读理解选材来源广泛,多源于国外英文图书、报刊、网络媒体,语言地道纯正,具有鲜明的语言文化特点。体裁包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文等,涉及科普、社会、文化、地理、历史、政治、经济、人文、日常生活等领域。命题主要考查细节理解、主旨大意、词义猜测及推理判断。
    C篇说明文,难度加大,关键在于把握文章核心信息,利用定位对比和细致分析句子。
    说明文是对事物或事理进行客观说明的一种文体,它以说明为主要表达方式,通过解说事物或阐明事理,达到教人以知识的目的,在结构上往往采用总分(总)、递进等方式按一定的顺序(如时间、空间、从现象到本质)进行说明。说明文的特点是客观、简练、语言准确、明了,文章很少表达作者的感情倾向。阅读说明文的重点在于读懂它说明的事物或事理,了解事物的性质、构造、成因、功能等,了解事理的含意、特点等。
    题型01 增加外刊积累、避免思维定式
    【题型诠释】
    高考英语阅读很大一部分选自国外的网站、报纸、杂志等,时效性和话题性比较突出。因此,考生要熟悉外刊的文章特点、常用写作技巧、话题相关的文化背景知识等相关信息,消除文化隔阂、文化差异造成的理解困难和理解偏差。比如,外刊的标题一般简短概括,非常精练。为了使语句短小而生动、醒目,所使用的词语和句子必须压缩到最精练的程度,这就要求必须有独特的撰写方式。除了大家熟知的省略、缩写等方式,还常常引用或套用名言、典故、谚语和文学著作,运用押韵等修辞手法。这一点是很多考生,甚至是教师的认识盲点。尤其是科普类说明文,很多人对它的认识仅仅停留在标题是文章中心的简单概括,而忽视了它可能采用的修辞手法或者引用或套用所涉及的文化背景知识。
    Listen carefully t the ftsteps in the family hme, especially if it has wden flrs, and yu can prbably wrk ut wh it is that is walking abut. The features mst cmmnly used t identify peple are faces, vices, finger prints and retinal scans. But their “behaviural bimetrics”, such as the way they walk, are als giveaways.
    64. Whats the best title f the passage?
    A. Listen t yur ftsteps
    B. Applaud pattern recgnitin
    C. Lve the way yu walk
    D. Better the mats yu step n
    在选择过程中,很多考生都不敢选择C项。因为在他们的心目中,说明文的标题就是刻板、直接、枯燥的,这与选项中的lve风格极为不符。仔细阅读这一段,其实很容易感受到作者选用该标题的含义。“Listen carefully t the ftsteps in the family hme, especially if it has wden flrs, and yu can prbably wrk ut wh it is that is walking abut.” 此句表示通过分辨脚步声,你就可以辨别出走路的人是谁。这个人一定是自己的家人,或者是非常熟悉的朋友。因此,在听到脚步声的时候应当是充满着亲切和期待,甚至是开心和激动的。当一个人在家的时候,当一个人孤独的时候,当一个人不开心、需要安慰的时候,最喜欢的就是这种熟悉的脚步声。文章介绍的通过识别人的走路方式来识别身份的垫子,也跟脚步声有一样的功效,垫子“喜爱”通过识别人的走路方式发挥作用,垫子主人也“喜爱”熟悉的、亲近的人的到来。
    题型02 关注句间衔接,紧扣段落中心
    【题型诠释】
    英语文章中有大量的词汇是作者用来联系句子的,从而使整篇文章前后贯通、语义明确。标志词(signal wrds)就是表明句子间和段落间的逻辑关系,具有词义、语法结构标志作用的词或词组。句子间的逻辑关系和衔接手段不外乎列举、原因、结果、让步、对照、补充、目的、条件等。如表示列举的词:fr example, fr instance; 表罗列的词:first, secnd, third, t begin with, t cnclude;表转折的词:hwever, but, whereas; 表示原因的词:because, since, as;表示结果的词:s, therefre, thus, cnsequently, as a result;表示对照的词:n the cntrary, by cntrast, in cmparisn;表示目的的词:s that, in rder that等。标志词就像指路牌一样,指明作者思路发展的方向和思路之间的逻辑联系。标志词前后的信息往往都是命题和答题的主要线索或依据,因此,识别标志词对考生更快、更好地理解文章具有举足轻重的作用。
    But there is cause fr cncern. The Internet has made data abundant, all-present and far mre valuable, changing the nature f data and cmpetitin. Ggle initially used the data cllected frm users t target advertising better. But recently it has discvered that data can be turned int new services: translatin and visual recgnitin, t be sld t ther cmpanies. Internet cmpanies cntrl f data gives them enrmus pwer. S they have a “Gds eye view” f activities in their wn markets and beynd.
    62. What des the technlgical innvatin in paragraph 3 indicate?
    A. Data giants technlgy is very expensive.
    B. Ggles idea is ppular amng data firms.
    C. Data can strengthen giants cntrlling psitin.
    D. Data can be turned int new services r prducts.
    该题解决的关键仍然是要理清句子之间的逻辑关系。“The Internet has made data abundant, all-present and far mre valuable, changing the nature f data and cmpetitin.” 为中心句,即互联网改变了数据和竞争的性质。其后,Ggle initially used...虽然没有fr example作为标志词,但是,我们可以判断出此处作者正在用具体的事例对中心句做具体的举例论证说明。该句和后面的“Internet cmpanies cntrl f data gives them enrmus pwer.”分为两个方面就互联网改变了数据和竞争的性质(变成可以出售的服务和让企业拥有“上帝视角”)进行了具体说明。把握住它们之间的关系,该题很容易看出,只有C项才是符合中心句的观点的(加强了企业的控制地位,即拥有“上帝视角”)。
    题型03 把握文章结构,理清作者思路
    【题型诠释】
    说明文主题鲜明、脉络清晰,行文结构模式较为固定。弄清文本结构有助于把握文章主旨和阅读重点。作者在谋篇布局上常使用以下说明方法:描述法(descriptin)(包括举例子、下定义、列数据等)、因果法(cause and effect)、问题与对策法(prblem and slutin)。实验、研究型文章一般会以实验的过程、进展为线索,多用描述法、问题与对策法等方法,通过列数据、做对比等来说明新的科学研究发现及其产生的影响。介绍说明型文章通常是介绍一种新产品、新技术,更多运用描述法从功能、用途、材料和市场前景等方面进行介绍。
    在阅读时,首先用略读法快速浏览每段的首尾句,分析原文的文本结构,然后根据作者谋篇布局的逻辑线索归纳主旨大意。如果文章中含有小标题、副标题等,在概括全文主旨大意和写作目的时需要重点考虑。
    【高考真题】
    (2023·天津·统考高考真题)Mst peple with gd sense wuld accept that we can and shuld learn frm accidental failures. It wuld be impssible t prgress in anything, after all, withut taking the ccasinal misstep. And by understanding hw we slipped, we can avid falling in the future.
    Few wuld advcate making intentinal mistakes, hwever. Yet cnsciusly erring (犯错) can prmte deeper understanding and better recall. The phenmenn is knwn as the derring effect — cming frm “deliberate (故意的) erring” — and when applied prperly, it may bring benefits in many unexpected areas f life.
    In ne experiment carried ut at the Natinal University f Singapre, participants were given the task f learning cncepts n a difficult subject. Fr sme terms, they simply cpied ut the crrect definitin; fr thers, they were asked t first add an errr in their descriptin f the term befre crrecting the mistake.
    Naturally, yu wuld expect the additin f the errrs t have increased unwanted cnfusin. Yet the exact ppsite was true: the participants wh made deliberate errrs learned abut twice as much as the peple wh simply cpied ut the crrect definitins.
    The derring effect culd be applied in ther situatins. S a music teacher may find the additin f deliberate errrs culd help a student remember the right musical ntes. Such a playful apprach culd fuel their creativity fr cmpsitin, if the student lks fr ways t develp thse wrng ntes int smething mre attractive. It is encuraging t discver that by readily accepting ur errrs and wisely placing urselves in the way f being wrng, we can in fact vercme weaknesses and rise strnger.
    The derring effect culd be useful fr many ther challenges t. If yu enjy cking, fr example, yu may faithfully fllw a recipe withut questining the instructins. But why nt try t break away frm thse habits and deliberately d the “wrng” thing fr a change, and see where yur derring takes yu? If yu are painting,meanwhile,yu culd relax ne f the cnstraints (限制) that yu usually put n yur wrk and see what yu prduce.
    At wrst, yu will have refreshed and deepened yur knwledge f the rules yu nrmally apply, s that yu can be even mre effective next time. At best, yu may just find that yu have discvered smething cmpletely new and unexpected, thrugh a flash f inspiratin that yu wuld have missed with perfectinism. Either way, yur apparent missteps will have mved yu a little clser t true mastery.

    (2023·天津·统考高考真题)I lve making art and lking at artwrks. I’ve fund myself wndering hw we gain pleasure frm art. And nw neuraesthetics, a cmbinatin f neurscience (神经科学) and aesthetics (美学), may prvide an answer.
    Neuraesthetics is a relatively yung field f research n what happens in the brain when we make aesthetic assessments. Researchers use brain imaging technique t see which brain areas light up when we view paintings that we cnsider beautiful. Similar research has been dne t understand the “neurnal firewrks” that ccur when we lk at inspiring sculptures, attractive faces, impressive dance, etc.
    But why d we find sme art beautiful and ther art ugly? Accrding t research, it all cmes dwn t the “aesthetic triad (三元组合)”.
    The first part f the triad is sensry-mtr. This invlves perceiving things like clurs, shapes and mvements. Mvement in art has an interesting rle. If yu see a painting f a mvement, like f a man pulling his arm away after being bitten by a dg, yu feel like ging thrugh a similar experience. The part f yur brain that cntrls yur wn mvements lights up in respnse.
    Secnd is emtin-valuatin. This is hw a piece f art makes yu feel, and whether r nt yu appreciate r enjy that feeling. The part f the brain related t pleasure is activated in respnse t smething we find beautiful. This system can be affected in fascinating ways, as fund by research using transcranial magnetic stimulatin(TMS) (经颅磁刺激). If TMS is applied t a specific part f yur brain behind yur frehead that is particularly imprtant fr decisin-making, yu suddenly like different kinds f art. Such stimulatin prduces significant changes in aesthetic appreciatin f faces, bdies and artwrks.
    The third part is meaning-knwledge. This is t d with hw we can cnnect with a piece f art and what meaning we can create in it. Art is deeply persnal, because when tw peple see the same artwrk, ur perceptin can create vastly different experiences f meaning. If we find meaning, then we ften find pleasure. We als get enjyment frm the knwledge f hw smething was made. Fr the images that an artist creates, viewers will prbably get far mre enjyment nce they knw the prcess used t create them.
    Infrmed by neuraesthetics, the next time I create my art I will value the prcess even mre, enjying the activatin f the aesthetic triad in my brain as I admire the vivid images that I have created.
    6.What des “neurnal firewrks” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
    A.A beautiful painting r sculpture.
    B.The lighting-up f specific brain areas.
    C.An advanced brain imaging technlgy.
    D.The aesthetic assessment f mdern art.
    7.What effect des mvement in art prduce n the viewers?
    A.Certain part f their brain is activated.
    B.Their experience f pain is reduced.
    C.Their aesthetic sense is sharpened.
    D.Their bdy reactins are delayed.
    8.The applicatin f TMS t the brain described in Paragraph 5 leads t__________.
    A.raised memry capacity
    B.enhanced painting skills
    C.changed artistic taste
    D.imprved decisin-making ability
    9.Accrding t the authr, what increases ur enjyment f a piece f art?
    A.Knwing hw it is created.
    B.Having a pleasant persnality.
    C.Learning hw science develps.
    D.Understanding the meaning f life.
    10.What is the authr’s purpse in writing the passage?
    A.T prpse an abstract thery f art making.
    B.T reveal the beauty f science in an artistic way.
    C.T share sme persnal understanding f artwrks.
    D.T intrduce a new research field fr art appreciatin.
    (2023·天津·统考高考真题)Getting the “side-eye” lk frm yur dg can make it seem like they are making a judgement abut yu, and sme new studies suggest they really culd be.
    The ability t judge thers’ intentins is an indicatr f pssessing “thery f mind” which was nce thught t be unique t humans. Hwever, new studies have shwn that dgs can read human behaviur and have a preference t peple wh are mre friendly r generus with fd.
    One such study published in 2023 aimed t see if dgs can tell the difference between humans wh are “unwilling” r “unable” t give them a treat. 96 dgs were invlved in bth “unwilling” and “unable” scenaris (情境) designed fr the study. Bth scenaris invlved a dg being placed n ne side f a glass screen with small hles in it at nse-height, and an experimenter standing n the ther. In the ‘unwilling’ scenari, the experimenter wuld hang a piece f sausage in frnt f the screen in a ‘teasing’ (戏耍的) manner, and apprach ne f the hles. But instead f passing it thrugh the hle t the dg, they wuld then pull it ut f its reach. Fr the “unable” scenari, the experimenter wuld again mve the treat twards the hle while the dg watched, but “accidentally” drp it befre they culd pass it thrugh.
    The researchers bserved that the dgs were much mre patient, making mre eye cntact and staying clser t the screen after the “unable” scenari played ut. In the “unwilling” scenari, hwever, the dgs lked at the experimenter less ften, sat, lay dwn and wandered arund mre frequently.
    Anther study frm 2021 tested fr “thery f mind” in dgs in a similar way, but the dgs were able t walk rund the screen t btain the treat after witnessing the experimenter’s “unwilling” r “unable” behaviur. The main finding was that the dgs apprached the experimenter significantly sner in the unable scenari than in the unwilling scenari.
    Hwever, the researchers f the 2023 study challenged that the fd drpped n the flr in the clumsy (笨拙的) manner might have mtivated the dgs t apprach the experimenter cnsidering that they prbably ften btain fd drpped n the flr in their daily lives.
    Nw, mre evidence has been prvided that dgs distinguish between similar actins assciated with different intentins. But hw exactly they acquire such intentin-reading abilities will be an exciting tpic fr future research.
    11.What is ne f the new research findings accrding t Paragraph 2?
    A.Dgs als have “thery f mind”.
    B.Dgs prefer fd frm generus peple.
    C.Human behaviurs are mstly intentinal.
    D.Friendly animals can get fd mre easily.
    12.What did the experimenter d in the “unwilling” scenari in the 2023 study?
    A.They acted awkwardly while feeding the dg.
    B.They pretended t walk slwly away frm the dg.
    C.They teased the dg by fixing the treat t the screen.
    D.They pulled the sausage beynd the dg’s reach.
    13.Hw did the dgs f the 2023 study respnd t the “unable” behaviur?
    A.By mving clser t the experimenter.
    B.By keeping wandering arund.
    C.By ignring the experimenter.
    D.By lying still n the flr
    14.Hw des the experiment design f the 2021 study differ frm that f 2023?
    A.The dgs can watch the experimenter.
    B.The dgs can g t the ther side f the screen.
    C.The dgs’ respnses are under clse bservatin.
    D.The dgs’ habitual behaviurs are under analysis.
    15.What d the dgs’ different respnses in “unwilling” and “unable” scenaris suggest?
    A.Dgs can tell “being friendly” frm “being mean”
    B.Dgs’ intelligence is gradually evlving.
    C.Dgs’ intentins can be easily identified.
    D.Dgs are a lt mre emtinal than ther animals.
    (2022·天津·高考真题)Is it true that ur brain alne is respnsible fr human cgnitin(认知)? What abut ur bdy? Is it pssible fr thught and behavir t riginate frm smewhere ther than ur brain? Psychlgists wh study Embdied Cgnitin(EC) ask similar questins. The EC thery suggests ur bdy is als respnsible fr thinking r prblem-slving. Mre precisely, the mind shapes the bdy and the bdy shapes the mind in equal measure.
    If yu think abut it fr a mment, it makes ttal sense. When yu smell smething gd r hear amusing sunds, certain emtins are awakened. Think abut hw newbrns use their senses t understand the wrld arund them. They dn’t have emtins s much as needs—they dn’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need fd. Even unbrn babies can feel their mthers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real wrld,they cry when they’re cld and then get hugged. That way, they start t as-sciate being warm with being lved.
    Understandably, therists have been arguing fr years and still disagree n whether the brain is the nerve centre that perates the rest f the bdy. Older Western philsphers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC therises that the brain and bdy are wrking tgether as an rganic supercmputer, prcessing everything and frming yur reactins.
    Further studies have backed up the mind-bdy interactin. In ne experiment, test subjects(实验对象) were asked t judge peple after being handed a ht r a cld drink. They all made warm evaluatins when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than clness. And it wrks the ther way t; in anther study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being“included” in r “rejected” frm a grup task. Thse wh were included felt physically warmer.
    Fr further prf, we can lk at the metaphrs(比喻说法) that we use withut even thinking. A kind and sympathetic persn is frequently referred t as ne with a sft heart and smene wh is very strng and calm in difficult situatins is ften described as slid as a rck. And this kind f metaphrical use is cmmn acrss languages.
    Nw that yu have the knwledge f mind-bdy interactin, why nt use it? If yu’re having a bad day,a warm cup f tea will give yu a flash f pleasure. If yu knw yu’re physically cld, warm up befre making any interpersnal decisins.
    16.Accrding t the authr, the significance f the EC thery lies in ________.
    A.facilitating ur understanding f the rigin f psychlgy
    B.revealing the majr rle f the mind in human cgnitin
    C.ffering a clearer picture f the shape f human brain
    D.bringing us clser t the truth in human cgnitin
    17.Where des the new brns’ understanding f their surrundings start frm?
    A.Their persnal lks.
    B.Their mental needs.

    D.Their physical feelings.
    18.The experiments mentined in Paragraph 4 further prve________.
    A.envirnment impacts hw we judge thers
    B.hw bdy temperature is related t health
    C.the mind and the bdy influence each ther
    D.hw humans interact with their surrundings
    19.What des the authr intend t prve by citing the metaphrs in Paragraph 5?
    A.Human speech is alive with metaphrs.
    B.Human senses have effects n thinking.
    C.Human language is shaped by visual images.
    D.Human emtins are ften cmpared t natural materials.
    20.What is the authr’s purpse in writing the last paragraph?
    A.T share with the reader ways t release their emtins.
    B.T guide the reader nt the path t career success.
    C.T encurage the reader t put EC int practice.
    D.T deepen the reader’s understanding f EC.
    (2021·天津·高考真题)Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind t be bth functinal and beautiful. Why, then, is art still s widely cnsidered t be "the easy subject" at schl, insignificant t wider sciety, a waste f time and effrt?
    Art can cnnect culture with cmmercial prducts in a way that nt many ther things can; art generates mney and hlds significant emtinal and cultural value within cmmunities. When peple attend a cncert, they are paying fr music, sure, maybe even htel rms, meals, and transprt, but they als gain an incredible experience, a unique atmsphere and a memry that will g thrugh the rest f their lives.

The Ryal Sciety f Public Health discvered that music and art, when used in hspitals, help t imprve the cnditins f patients by reducing stress, anxiety and bld pressure.
    Children wh are invlved with the arts make greater achievements in their educatin: thse engaged with drama have greater literary ability while thers taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference fr the arts have a greater chance f finding emplyment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential fr child develpment; encuraging children t express themselves in cnstructive ways culd help t frm healthy emtinal respnses in later life.
    Vital t human life, art is celebrated and used by natins acrss the wrld fr varius purpses. Life withut art wuld be bring and dead still, fr art is a part f what makes us human.

    (2021·天津·高考真题)In the fictinal wrlds f film and TV, artificial intelligence (AI) has been described as s advanced that it is indistinguishable frm humans. But what if we're actually getting clser t a wrld where Al is capable f thinking and feeling?
    Tech cmpany UneeQ is heading fr its "digital humans", which appear life like n the screen nt nly in terms f language, but als because f facial mvements: raised eyebrws, a smile, even a nd. They lk clse t a human, but nt quite.
    What lies beneath UneeQ9 s digital humans? Their 3D faces are mdeled n actual human features. Speech recgnitin enables them t understand what a persn is saying, and natural language prcessing is used t wrk ut a respnse. Meanwhile, anther Al cmpany, Sul Machines, is taking a mre bilgical apprach, with a "digital brain", that imitates aspects f the human brain t adjust the emtins "felt" and "expressed" by its "digital peple".
    Shiwali Mhan, an Al scientist at the Pal Research Center, is skeptical f these digital beings. "They're humanlike in their lks and the way they sund, but that in itself is nt being human," she says. "Human qualities als invlve hw yu think, hw yu apprach prblems, and hw yu break them dwn; and that takes a lt f algrithmic (算 法)design. Designing fr human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans." She then cntinues, “If smething lks like a human, we have high expectatins f them, but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively (直觉地)knw hw ther humans react.
    Yet the demand is there, with UneeQ seeing high adptin f its digital emplyees acrss the financial, health care, and cmmercial sectrs (行业). "Unless these sectrs make their business mdels much mre efficient digitally, they might be left behind," says Chetan Dube, UneeQ9s CEO.
    Sme ther cmpanies are taking their digital beings a step further, enabling rganizatins and individuals t create digital humans themselves using free-access platfrms they prvide. "The biggest mtivatin fr such platfrms is t ppularize Al," Dube says.
    Mhan is cautius abut this apprach, yet she supprts the purpse behind these digital beings and is ptimistic abut where they are headed. "As we develp mre advanced Al technlgy, we wuld then have t use new ways f cmmunicating with that technlgy,she says. "'Hpefully, all f that is designed t supprt humans in their gals."

    A.In the way they mve arund.
    B.In the way they act and react.

    (2024·天津河东·一模)D yu feel stressed? Research n the mental health cnditin f senir high schl students frm China, US, Suth Krea and Japan has recently been released. The research was carried ut jintly by China Yuth and Children Research Center, Natinal Institutin fr Yuth Educatin f Japan and Natinal Yuth Plicy Institute f Krea.
    The results shwed that senir high students are at the lwest pint f mental health level amng all adlescent (青春期的) stages. Cmpared t students frm the US, Suth Krea and Japan, Chinese students shw a lw level f emtinal health, self evaluatin and interpersnal supprt. Life habits (sleep, phne dependence, etc), stress and scial supprt (parental, peer and teacher supprt) are imprtant factrs affecting the mental health f senir high students in China.
    Hwever, the cnfidence level f Chinese high schl students is the highest amng thse f all fur cuntries. Fr example, when it cmes t statements like “I believe I can reach my gals”, ver 80 percent f Chinese students chse “agree”. In spite f this, sme Chinese students lack a sense f self-wrth and willpwer, leading t difficulties in frming their identity in the prcess f becming adults.
    Chen Yue, a mental cunselr frm a freign languages schl in Beijing, said that he has seen behavir in class that reflects the research results. “The reasns behind that can be linked t parents wh may take t much cntrl in junir high perid and nw feel kind f lst in their children’s transitinal stage t adulthd,” Chen said. “Als, students tend t attach greater imprtance t interpersnal relatinships in senir high and even link it t their self-evaluatin.”
    Chen als pinted ut that students’ relatinship with phnes is delicate. “Many teachers and parents simply ban students frm using phnes withut realizing that phnes are mre than a tl f entertainment, but rather a territry f persnal space and cnnectin t the scial wrld,” said Chen, “therefre, an apprpriate amunt f freedm is crucial.”
    Meanwhile, sme students have their wn way t deal with interpersnal relatinships. Chen Yeliang, a 17-year-ld senir high student, said that if she desn’t get alng with smene. she wuldn’t attribute (归因于) it t herself. “It just means that we are frm different wrlds and the time spent n each ther is nt wrth it,” she said.
    26.What did the research find abut Chinese senir high students?
    A.They are the mst cnfident.
    B.They have the mst scial supprt.
    C.They have the mst mental prblems.
    D.They have the highest level f self-evaluatin.
    27.Hw did researchers carry ut the study?
    A.By cmparing respndents’ backgrunds.
    B.By ding interviews and mental tests.
    C.By cnducting a questinnaire.
    D.By studying the findings f previus research.
    28.What is a reasn behind Chinese students’ behavir in class accrding t Chen?
    A.They value friends ver parents.B.They want t behave like adults.
    C.They desire their parents’ attentin.D.They fcus mre n relatinships.
    29.What will Chen Yeliang d if she desn’t get alng with thers?

    (2024·天津河西·一模)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 shun technlgy 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 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 (神经病学的) 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.
    36.What’s the functin f the first paragraph?

    C.T prevent smething frm changing rapidly.
    D.T get rid f smething steadily.
    38.What des the authr want t tell us by the examples in paragraph 3?

    (2024·天津红桥·一模)If smene created a flying machine able t track yu dwn by listening fr yur vice, yu might be terrified. But what if yu were trapped in ruins after a natural disaster and first respnders culdn’t lcate yu? Maybe then a human-seeking drne (无人机) wuldn’t be such a terrible idea. That cncept is the fcus fr engineers at Germany’s Fraunhfer FKIE Institute, wh’ve built a drne t find peple by detecting human screams.
    “The human seeking drne wuld be ideal fr pst-disaster situatins, such as earth-quakes, hurricanes and wildfires,” said Macarena Varela, ne f the lead engineers. “They culd hver (盘旋) ver an area that rescue crews have difficulty getting t and lcate exactly where peple may be trapped.”
    Lcating peple by sund presents its share f challenges. An auditry (听觉的) system wuld need t tell human cries frm sunds that ften happen in nature, such as animal calls and wind. It might als need t recgnize patterns assciated with kicking, clapping r ther ways peple try t get the attentin f rescue teams.
    Engineers tk thse situatins int accunt when building ut their cncept drne. They recrded themselves screaming, tapping and creating ther nises they might be a sign f peple in truble. Then, they analyzed each sund frequency t find cmmn signatures and used thse t train artificial intelligence sftware. They als wrked t remve the nise created by the drne and ther envirnmental sunds.
    Once the sftware part was cmpleted, the team placed tiny digital micrphnes under the drne and used signal prcessing techniques that enabled them t track where human nises are cming frm. The micrphnes als enhanced the vlume and clearness f the speech. S far, they have cnducted successful pen field experiments, finding that the drne can estimate a victim’s lcatin within a few secnds f picking up sund.
    Next, they wuld like t add a higher frequency micrphne t a drne t acquire mre audi sund signals. The idea is t pick up nises frm hundreds f meters away, Varela said. In the real wrld, victim’s lcatin date might ne day be sent wirelessly t emergeney crews carrying a tablet.
    46.What is the advantage f the human-seeking drne?
    A.Its high speed f flying.B.Its lng wrking hurs.
    C.Its quick respnse t screams.D.Its easy access t disaster scene.
    47.What can the auditry system d?
    A.Recgnize human cries.
    B.Pick up sunds frm far away.
    C.Send victim’s lcatin data t a tablet.
    D.Imprve the quality f human screams.
    48.What des the underlined wrd “signatures” in Paragraph 4 refer t?
    A.Effects.B.Features.C.Symbls.D.Situatins.
    49.Up t nw, engineers have successfully ________.
    A.develped higher frequency micrphnes fr use n drnes
    B.rescued disaster victims by using drnes t recgnize human cries.
    C.cached artificial intelligence sftware t distinguish human and natural sunds
    D.cmpleted utdr experiments using drnes t quickly lcate disaster victims
    50.Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
    A.AI Enables Drnes t Give Better Perfrmance
    B.Human-seeking Drnes Replace Rescue Crews
    C.Engineers Teach Drnes t Hunt Human Screams
    D.Rescuers Use Drnes t Lcate Disaster Survivrs
