2023届新高考英语高频考点专项练习：专题十二 考点18 议论文（A卷）1.    Traffic jams and cities, it seems, go hand in hand. Everyone complains about being stuck in traffic, but, like the weather, no one seems to do anything about it. In particular, traffic engineers, transportation planners, and public officials responsible for transportation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to solve the traffic jam.    But is the traffic jam a sign of failure? Long queues at restaurants or theater box offices are seen as signs of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently? I think we should recognize that the traffic jam is an unpreventable by-product(副产品) of successful cities, and view the "traffic problem" in a different light.    Cities exist because they improve social communication and economic trade. The traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited space. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst traffic problems, while decaying cities don't have much traffic. New York and Los Angeles are America's most crowded cities. But if you want access to major brokerage houses(经纪行), you will find them easier to reach in crowded New York than in any other large cities. And if your company needs access to post-production film editors or satellite-guidance engineers, you will reach them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere.    Despite the traffic jam, a larger amount of social communication and economic trade can be made better in large, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen in this light, the traffic jam is an unfortunate result of prosperity(繁荣), not a cause of the economic fall and urban decay. So while we can consider the traffic jam as increasing cost in the areas of big cities, the cost of inaccessibility in uncrowded places is almost certainly greater.    There is no doubt that the traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos. But mobility(流动性) is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US, even in our most crowded cities. That's why, for now, we don't see people and capital streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago, heading for cities like El Centro and McAllen.1. We can conclude from the first paragraph that _____.
A. the traffic jam and weather are the two factors preventing the development of big cities
B. the traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal with
C. if traffic engineers try their best, the traffic jam can be solved
D. public officials are always criticized for misusing their power
2. By saying "decaying" (in Para. 3), the author probably means _____.
A. less powerful and influential B. developing
C. rich and successful  D. small-sized
3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The traffic jam has caused terrible effects in cities such as Bangkok and Lagos.
B. The traffic jam in San Francisco has resulted in the capital flowing out.
C. The traffic jam level in Jakarta is lower than that in the US.
D. McAllen is as crowded and successful as San Francisco.
4. What's the author's opinion on the traffic jam?
A. In cities, the traffic jam is avoidable.
B. The traffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign of success.
C. The traffic jam is the result of successful cities.
D. The traffic jam can promote social communication and economic trade.2.    As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.    Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.    It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.    In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word "touch" four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.1. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing.
C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.
2. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A. Computers are much easier to operate.
B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D. Data security measures are guaranteed.
3. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A. It'll be environment-friendly. B. It'll reach consumers soon.
C. It'll be made of plastics. D. It'll help speed up typing.
4. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A magazine.3.   Sand, sun, fitness, and fun were popular at the LeapFrog's Fit Made Fun Day event on September 6.With LeapFrog's new LeapBand activity tracker, the event took place at Santa Monica Beach in California to educate kids about staying active.The LeapBand is LeapFrog's newest product. It straps(用带子系好) onto the wrist, like a watch, and features a virtual(虚拟的) pet that kids can care for. Kids do activities such as walking like a penguin and popping like popcorn to earn points and power-ups, which unlock new pets and rewards."We want to make sure kids understand that getting up, getting active, having fun, and getting healthy tips can all be part of their daily lives," says Greg Ahearn, who works for LeapFrog."Our goal with the LeapBand is to get kids up and active and having fun."The event included creative fitness activities for kids and parents. Artie Green and Easy A.D., who are a part of an organization called Hip Hop Public Health, performed songs and taught dances. There were photo opportunities, healthy snacks, and goodie bags too.Mia Hamm, a former member of the United States national women's soccer team, is the official spokesperson for the LeapBand. Hamm took part in Women's World Cups and the Olympics. When she was about 15, she knew that her sport was soccer. "I loved the way it challenged me every single day," she said. Hamm says exercising should be fun "whether it's playing soccer with your friends or hopping on one foot or dancing". She advises aspiring athletes(有志向的) to "go for it. It's a lot of hard work, but it's meaningful".Later in the afternoon, the crowd came together to try to break three Guinness World Records: the most people making sand angels, the most people hopping on one foot, and the most people doing the swim dance. Participants(参加者)  enjoyed exercising together, dancing, hopping, and flapping along to music. Better yet, they broke all three records! Ahearn hopes these families and many more continue to take part in fitness activities. "Fun is the most important thing," he says.1.The event LeapFrog's Fit Made Fun Day is to ________.

C.To promote an activity. D.To describe an experience.4.    During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.    Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables' plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there's the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.    Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein's studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are "most likely to engage (从事) in dangerous and risky behavior."    In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究). "We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us."    Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. "Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage," he said.1.What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?
A.Unkind. B.Lonely. C.Generous. D.Cool.
2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The classification of the popular. B.The characteristics of adolescents.
C.The importance of interpersonal skills. D.The causes of dishonorable behavior.
3.What did Dr. Prinstein's study find about the most liked kids?
A.They appeared to be aggressive. B.They tended to be more adaptable.
C.They enjoyed the highest status. D.They performed well academically.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Be Nice—You Won't Finish Last B.The Higher the Status, the Better
C.Be the Best—You Can Make It D.More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness5.Think of the last time you disagreed with another person. Maybe you argued with a sibling (兄弟; 姊妹)over what to watch on TV. Or perhaps you tried to convince grown-ups that ice cream made a better dinner than vegetables. How did your disagreement end? Were you able to see the issue from the other person's viewpoint?In many situations, disagreements are unavoidable. They're part of life. After all, everyone has different opinions. We all have past experiences that shape how we see the world. Still, not all disagreements are bad. In fact, many people look at them as opportunities to learn. They do so by trying to understand where both sides are coming from.How can you understand both sides of an issue? Often, it's best to start by asking questions. Questions help us learn about the world around us. The right questions can also help us learn about other people. In a disagreement, asking for more information can help you learn about a person's viewpoint. It can also lead you to gather more facts. This can paint a better picture of the entire issue.When we are seeking to understand both sides of an issue, it's important to know the difference between facts and opinions. Remember, facts are based on true information. Opinions can change from person to person. Paying attention to facts can stop biases(偏见)from taking over in a disagreement. This can help everyone involved see both sides of the issue.Maybe you're wondering why it's important to understand both sides of an issue, anyway. After all, don't most people just want to prove that their side is right? Often, that's true. However, understanding the whole issue can lead to both sides working together.Disagreements may be uncomfortable at first. However, when both sides truly try to understand each other, they often find they have more in common than they thought. The next time you disagree with another person, try asking him questions about his viewpoint. You never know what you might learn.1. What does the underlined word "so" refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. Ignoring chances to learn.
B. Knowing more about themselves.
C. Shaping a right way to see the world.
D. Making the disagreements a chance to learn.
2. According to the passage, how can we solve a disagreement?
A. By changing the other's opinions.
B. By making both sides comfortable.
C. By trying to stand in others' shoes.
D. By telling facts and opinions apart.
3. How does the author support his view?
A. By reasoning.
B. By describing.
C. By persuading.
D. By questioning.
4. What's the author's attitude to people's arguments?
A. Indifferent.
B. Pessimistic.
C. Positive.
D. Skeptical.6.   Many kids would likely argue that their lunchtime is too short. While the precious breaks after class are used to relax and chat with friends, students also need to scarf down a full meal to fuel them through the rest of the day.But it is found that students need more than few minutes to consume(消耗) those much-needed nutrients(营养).Longer lunchtime is healthier. The study compared food choices with the amount of time students are given to eat. Students with less than 20 minutes for lunch ate less, including nutritional fruits and vegetables.Nationwide, the average(平均的) lunchtime is about 30 minutes. But researchers found that the real lunchtime can get cut down to less than 10 minutes. Researchers researched 1,001 students in low-income neighborhoods in Massachusetts that had lunchtime between 20 and 30 minutes. Students with shorter lunchtime were less likely to even choose a fruit in their lunch: 44 percent of students with 20-minute time picked up an apple or orange.More than 30 million children, half of all public school children nationwide, according to the Southern Education Foundation, eat low-cost or free lunches every day under the National School Lunch program. With the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, school lunches have seen an overhaul(详细检查) in their nutritional guidelines, with an increase in whole grains(全谷类), low-fat choices, fruits and vegetables.While increasing lunchtime and cutting into class time may not be a possible choice for many schools, whose funding depends on the results of tests. Researchers suggested simplifying the lunch lines so that students can make the most out of the time they have.1.The underlined phrase  "scarf down" in the first paragraph means "________".
A.discuss B.cook C.eat D.improve
2.If students' lunchtime is less than 20 minutes, they would ________.
A.have healthier lunches B.eat more vegetables
C.have less choices  D.be short of proper nutrition
3.What do nearly half students choose to eat if they only have 20 minutes for lunch?
A.The vegetables. B.The milk. C.The meat. D.The fruits.
4.Why wouldn't schools cut into class time in the last paragraph?
A.Because the students will not have the enough healthy choice.
B.Because the non-ideal result of the test will influence the school fund.
C.Because the school will have to improve lunch quality.
D.Because the students will waste their lunchtime playing.7.   When was the last time you went to your local library? Last week? A month ago? A year ago?For many reasons, borrowing books from libraries seems to be in decline. With advances in technology, it is now possible for people to download and read whatever they like on electronic devices such as Kindles. It has been argued that doing this is cheaper than buying hard-copy books. They are also lightweight, making them ideal for travelling.Call me old fashioned, but I've never got into the e-books: I like to have printed books lining my bookshelves; I love the smell of a new book; and I enjoy leafing through paper pages— as long as I avoid the paper cuts!So, I prefer paper books, and I also prefer to own them myself. Libraries only lend books, so what use are they to someone like me, or to someone who only reads electronic books?Personally, I still love libraries. They offer a quiet space to sit, read, think, do research…a real escape from the outside world. When I was at university, I frequently spent hours at the library and borrowed numerous journals, articles and other printed materials, as it was just too expensive to buy brand new books every week. Libraries are free!Libraries often organize a series of interesting activities as well. My local library hosted actors, historians and other speakers during the town's annual art and literature festival. Well-known authors are also invited to libraries to give speeches or lead discussions about their work. Events such as these are a great way to appeal to people of all ages in the community and encourage the use of libraries.There are still many fantastic ways to use libraries —maybe we just need to be more awake to them!1.What is the writer's purpose of using question sentences in Paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the topic of the passage.
B.To make readers answer questions.
C.To give readers some advice.
D.To conduct a survey.
2.What can we know about e-books?
A.They are easy to buy.
B.They are cheap and easy to take.
C.They can be borrowed from libraries.
D.They are a waste of energy.
3.What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Libraries. B.E- books. C.Paper books. D.Bookshelves.
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A.The end of the library?
B.The reasons for my loving libraries!
C.Which is better, e-books or paper books?
D.The last time of visiting your local library!8.     Tens of thousands of drone (无人机)owners will have to register their devices for the first time under regulations designed to safeguard privacy.Rules introduced yesterday require all drones that are fitted with cameras to be logged with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Anyone who fails to do so faces being taken to court and fined up to £1,000. Drones heavier than 250g already have to be registered with the CAA, which costs £9 and must be renewed annually, but the new measures extend this requirement to all devices, including the lightweight models that are used by hobbyist pilots.The move comes after sharp rise in the number of drones bought by enthusiasts or those operating them for commercial reasons, such as to inspect infrastructure or for photography and filming.However, the rise has prompted concerns over privacy, with fears that drones are being used to spy on private residences and other buildings. It has also led to an increase in the number of near-misses between drones and other aircraft, including commercial passenger jets. The latest figures show 531 near-misses involving drones were logged in the past decade, including 125 recorded in 2019.By law drones are supposed to be operated within an operator's line of sight. They have to remain below an altitude of 400ft to avoid interfering with aircraft and flown at least 164ft away from people and buildings. The government has already toughened up regulations in recent years. This includes requiring all operators to pass an online test before being allowed to fly devices. Other changes to the regulations include allowing drones that weigh up to 25kg to be operated, compared with a previous limit of 20kg.Devices will also fall into three new categories of risk --high, medium and low -- depending on how they will be flown. Low-risk drones, including those typically used by hobbyists, will have operational limitations but will not need authorisation (授权)for flights. Authorisation is needed for larger medium-risk and high-risk drone flights, which are typically carried out in more complex environments, including those beyond the operator's line of sight, which is banned under normal circumstances.Christian Struwe, the director of public policy, said of the new regulation: "It simplifies different processes and allows customers to travel from country to country without having to worry about different rules in different foreign locations."1.Why must the drone owners register their devices?
A.To protect their rights of flying drones.
B.To avoid breaking the new regulations.
C.To make sure their drones meet the weight requirement.
D.To follow the rules not to invade others' privacy.
2.What does the underlined words in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Updated every day.  B.Replaced every month.
C.Redesigned every year. D.Registered every year.
3.What is the potential danger drones probably cause?
A.Drones will be used for commercial purposes.
B.Drones probably crash into passenger planes while in use.
C.Operating drones requires higher qualification.
D.It is impossible to avoid being spied by drones.
4.What does the passage mainly focus on?
A.How to make a standard drone.
B.How drones are operated by enthusiasts.
C.The importance of registering the drones.
D.The negative effect of drones on people.

解析：1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段中"Tens of thousands of drone owners will have to register their devices for the first time under regulations designed to safeguard privacy. (按首次规定,成千上万的无人机所有者必须登记他们的设备,旨在保护隐私)"可知,无人机所有者必须登记他们的设备是为了让他们遵守规则,不侵犯他人隐私。故选D。
2.词义猜测题。划线词前提到"Drones heavier than 250g already have to be registered with the CAA, which costs £9(超过250克的无人机已经必须在CAA注册,费用为9英镑)" ;根据第一段中"register their devices for the first time …"这项规定是首次执行,以后应该会持续下去。由此可以猜测,"renew"与上文的"register"语义相关。因此可以猜测"renewed annually"意思为"每年重新登记"。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段中"It has also led to an increase in the number of near -misses between drones and other aircraft, including commercial passenger jets.(这也导致了无人机与包括商用客机在内的其他飞机之间"险些相撞"的次数增加)"可知,无人机可能造成的潜在危险是无人机可能会与正在空中飞行的客机相撞。故选B。
4.推理判断题。文章第一段中提出"designed to safeguard privacy"登记无人机是为了保护隐私;第三、四段是提到"The move comes after sharp rise in the number of drones…""the rise has prompted concerns over privacy"无人机数量的增加,引起人们对无人机引起的隐私问题的关注,这是要登记无人机的原因;第五段是关于无人机操作的高度、离人和建筑物的距离、要求操作者通过网上测试等方面作出具体的要求。由此可推断,文章关注的是登记无人机的重要性。故选C。
