高考英语二轮复习阅读理解强化练习题（8）
1.    Do you still remember Jurassic Park, an amazing movie where science brings dinosaurs back from extinction? Now some very smart scientists are working on a way to revive, not dinosaurs, but other extinct species like the woolly mammoth(猛犸象) using the gene editing technology known as CRISPR.
    As an evolutionary biologist, obviously, it would be amazing to bring back extinct creatures. But even if we can bring them back, we are not going to be able to control how they will evolve in the future. No man is an island and neither is any other creature. We need an ecosystem in order to survive. So we can think a lot about the examples of reintroducing species into the environment, like the gray wolves into Yellowstone National Park. Ecology is very complicated and it certainly wasn't important when we first introduced rabbits into Australia, which was a total disaster eventually.
    All animals like birds and mammals have to learn from their parents. If we bring them back to life, who are going to be around to teach them? We have examples where in California we've had the reproduction of the condors(大秃鹰). What scientists tried to do is feed the babies using a mother condor puppet. When these poor creatures were released into the wild, they had an unnatural liking for humans. They didn't behave the way they should have, for condors.
    According to Performing Animal Welfare Society, a healthy elephant costs about $70,000 per year to care for and an elderly elephant costs a good deal more. Of course, we are not talking about one. We're talking about many creatures. I don't think these creatures will have a future.
1.Why does the author mention the film in the first paragraph?
A.To recall an amazing movie. B.To promote some extinct species.
C.To introduce the topic to be discussed. D.To get to know some intelligent scientists.
2.What does the author want to tell us by the examples in Paragraph 2?
A.Humans need a balanced ecosystem to survive.
B.To bring back extinct creatures was an unwise idea.
C.Helping endangered species proved to be beneficial to humans.
D.There were all sorts of positive effects of reintroducing species.
3.Which animal didn't act in its own way?
A.The condor. B.The gray wolf.
C.The rabbit. D.The elephant.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Is Jurassic Park an Amazing Movie?
B.What Do Creatures Need to Survive?
C.Should We Bring Extinct Animals Back to Life?
D.How Does an Evolutionary Biologist Protect Animals?
2.    Most kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read. But it's not that simple for kids who are blind. They read in a different way. Jenny Lee and other braille(布莱叶盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots. Blind people can read these dots with their fingers. To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Then turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.
    When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she'd ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class and practiced hard for about six months before she passed the final exam: she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille. Today, Lee works for a publisher. One of her jobs is to change children's books into braille.
    To do this, Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code. Next, she looks over the translation several times to make sure it's mistake-free. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistake. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed. Afterward, some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.
    Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That's when Lee takes a break. Several of Jenny Lee's co-workers, who are blind, use guide dogs. When the animals aren't working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. To her, playing with dogs "is always a pick-me-up in the middle of the day".
    "I love this mission," Lee says. "Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kids' hands."
1.How does the writer explain what braille feels like?
A.By explaining what braille words look like. B.By describing how blind people read books.
C.By asking readers to experience it themselves. D.By giving examples of different braille words.
2.What was Lee's first reaction to braille?
A.She was excited to get a new skill. B.She was amazed at the clever idea.
C.She realized she could teach it herself. D.She believed it would be difficult to learn.
3.What does the underlined part "pick-me-up" in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.A discussion to release work stress. B.Something to improve one's appetite.
C.Something to help restore one's spirits. D.A free ride accompanied by a guide dog.
4.What does Lee think of her job?
A.Profitable and hopeful. B.Tiring but meaningful.
C.Relaxing and helpful. D.Boring but challenging.
3.An Ageless Question: When Is Someone "Old"?
    What does "old" really mean these days? This isn't a meaningless question—not only does the definition of "old" have an out-sized impact on how we feel about ourselves (not to mention how others view us), but it also matters to policymakers determining how to plan for aging populations.
    The United Nations historically has defined older persons as people aged 60 years and over (sometimes 65). It didn't matter whether you lived in the United States, China or Senegal, even though life expectancy is quite different in each of those countries. Everyone became old at 60.
    Researchers Sergei Scherbov and Warren Sanderson, who study aging, are suggesting overturning the one-size-fits-all definition of "old" across the globe. Instead, they talk about "prospective age", which looks to the future. Everyone with the same prospective age has the same expected remaining years of life.
    Scherbov explained "young" and "old" are relative concepts, and that their common reference point is life expectancy. It makes sense that "old" would vary between nations, especially between more- and less-developed countries, with differences in education, death rates, access to health care and life expectancy.
    But who is "old" also varies widely between individuals. The point, Scherbov says, is that personal age is dependent on our "characteristics"—understanding abilities, disability, health history and even education levels. Those with more education tend not to smoke, exercise more frequently, have better diets and have regular checkups—and, therefore, live longer, meaning the beginning of their old age comes later, says Scherbov.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.How we feel about ourselves. B.How others view us.
C.The importance of the definition of "old". D.The plan for aging populations.
2.What does the underlined phrase "prospective age" in Paragraph 3 refer to according to the text?
A.The expected remaining years of one's life. B.The beginning of one's old age.
C.The differences of our "characteristics". D.The age when one becomes old.
3.What similarity does Scherbov think "young" and "old" have?
A.The definition. B.The age range.
C.The death rates. D.The reference point.
4.Which of the following helps one to live longer?
A.Exercising as much as possible. B.Losing weight.
C.Studying history. D.Improving the education level.
4.    Dogs can't speak, but their brains respond to spoken words. Every dog owner knows that saying "Good dog!" in a happy, high voice will make their pet joyfully wag its tail. That made scientists curious: What exactly happens in your dog's brain when it hears praise, and is it similar to the way our own brain processes such information?
    When a person gets others' compliments, the more primitive, subcortical auditory regions(皮层下听觉区) first react to the intonation—the emotional force of spoken words. Next, the brain taps the more recently evolved auditory cortex(听觉皮层) to figure out the meaning of the words, which is learned.
    In 2016, a team of scientists discovered that dogs' brains, like those of humans, compute the intonation and meaning of a word separately—although dogs use their right brain to do so, whereas we use our left one. Still, a puzzle remained: Do their brains go through the same steps to process approval?
    It's an important question, because dogs are a speechless species, yet they respond correctly to our words. For instance, some dogs are capable of recognizing thousands of names of individual objects, and can link each name to a specific object.
    When the scientists studied scans of the brains of pet dogs, they found that theirs, like ours, process the sounds of spoken words in this manner—analyzing first the emotional component with the older region of the brain, the subcortical regions, and then the words' meaning with the newer part, the cortex.
    See why dogs are so successful in partnering us? Dogs and humans last shared a common ancestor some 100 million years ago, so it's likely that our brains respond to sounds in a similar way. As domesticated animals that have evolved alongside humans in our homes for the past 10,000 years, dogs make special use of it to process human emotions. You know, what we say really matters to dogs!
1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "domesticated"?
A.Abroad. B.Home. C.Gentle. D.Intelligent.
2.What is the first step when a dog's brain goes through to process approval?
A.Linking it to an object. B.Analyzing the emotion.

5.    A new study, published in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science, reveals that non-human animals' tears are not so different from our own. The chemical similarities are so great, in fact, that the composition of other species' tears—and how they're adapted to their environments—may provide insights into better treatments for human eye disease.
    Previously, scientists had studied closely only the tears of a handful of mammals, including humans, dogs, horses, camels and monkeys. In the new study, Brazilian veterinarians analyzed the tears of reptiles and birds for the first time, focusing on seven species.
    Tears, which are released from tear tubes, form a film over the eye that's composed of three ingredients: mucus, water and oil. The mucus coats the eye's surface and helps to attach the film to the eye, the water is a natural salty solution containing crucial proteins and minerals, and the oil prevents the eye from drying out.
    Humans are the only known species to produce emotional tears; the expression "crocodile tears", which refers to a person's phony display of emotion, comes from the mysterious tendency of crocodiles to release tears as they eat.
    But tears play key roles beyond weeping, notes Lionel Sebbag at Iowa State University, who was not involved in the new research. They help with vision by lubricating and clearing the eye. They also protect the eye against infection and provide nutrition for the cornea, the eye's clear outer layer, which lacks blood tubes, he says.
    Learning how reptiles and birds use tears may also inspire new medications for conditions such as dry eye, which occurs when tear tubes don't produce enough oil. The disease, common in cats, dogs, and people, can sometimes lead to blindness.
1.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The source of tears. B.The composition of tears.
C.The classification of tears. D.The definition of tears.
2.What does the underlined word "phony" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Tricky. B.Regretful. C.Cold. D.False.
3.Which statement does Lionel Sebbag agree with?
A.Weeping contributes to eye disease. B.The cornea has rich blood tubes.
C.Tears oil and clear the eyes. D.More tears mean better vision.
4.What might be the best title for the text?
A.Tears, a Barrier to Eyes B.A Better Treatment for the Eye Disease
C.Non-human Tears Promise New Cures D.Other Species' Tears Are Similar to Humans'
6.When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But if you also gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. Linking a word to brain areas responsible for movement strengthens the memory of its meaning.
As neuroscientist Brian Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words （such as "lamube" for "camera" and "atesi" for "thought"） over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were simultaneously （同时地） shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, they were supposed to perform the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German in a multiple-choice test.
At the same time, they had a device attached to their heads that sent weak pulses to their primary motor cortex （皮层）-the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. When these interfering （干扰） signals were active, the subjects found it harder to recall the words accompanied by gestures. When the device sent no interfering signals （but still appeared to the subjects to be active）, they found it easier to remember the words. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. This applied to concrete words, such as “camera, ” as well as abstract ones, such as “thought. ”
“Our results provide evidence for why learning techniques that involve the body's motor system should be used more often, ” says Mathias. “I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms. People use it spontaneously （自发地）, if they're good teachers and good listeners. But we don't necessarily bring it into the class if we don't think about it. ”
1. What were the subjects required to do in the test?
A. Repeat what other subjects describe.
B. Follow what the person in the video did.
C. Match the vocabulary with relative pictures.
D. Translate the vocabulary into a foreign language.
2. Why were pulses sent to the subjects' motor cortex?
A. To control their body movements.
B. To shelter other interfering signals.
C. To identify the function of the motor cortex.
D. To confirm the abstract thoughts in their mind.
3. What is Brian Mathias's expectation of the research?
A. It will be carried out more frequently. B. It will involve more concrete objects.
C. It will be applied to classroom teaching. D. It will motivate his colleagues to participate.
4. What is the best title for the text?
A. Good Learning Techniques Matter More B. Repeating Strengthens Memory
C. Body Language Betters Communication D. Gestures Help Learn New Words
7.As a financial adviser, my clients come to me seeking help with growing their wealth. Perhaps the greatest lesson I share is that being rich isn't a dollar amount; it is a perception that includes happiness, peace of mind, comfort and security. There's a big difference between being wealthy and feeling wealthy.
Actually, one of the best ways I advise others in building their wealth is this: The secret to having more is giving more. Studies have shown that people who volunteer weekly exhibit an increase in happiness. Donating your time makes you grateful for all that you have, and you'll have the unmatched joy and excitement of knowing you made a huge impact for the good of others.
Volunteering enables you to increase your relationship skills and encourages you to have conversations with people from very different walks of life. You can even make new friends. It is also a wonderful activity that families can do together. This has the added benefit of serving as a good role model to your children. I am encouraging my kids to volunteer and experience the power of love for themselves.
Without fail, every time I volunteer, I have conversations that change my life in some way. I was once volunteering at a local shelter and struck up a conversation with other volunteers. As we chatted, we all suddenly realized: The massive gratitude of those receiving help acted like a nuclear bomb going off in our hearts, and it also touched the other volunteers, making us all realize how truly blessed we are.
Giving our time, money and energy gives us a sense of achievement like nothing else. If "wealth" really is a perception of happiness, comfort and security, we must learn to get outside our own experience and understand what wealth means to other people.
1. What is the author's understanding of wealth?
A. It is more of a state of mind. B. It gives one the duty to help others.
C. It has something to do with finance. D. It lifts people's spirits like nothing else.
2.What makes a person appreciate what he has already owned?
A. Winning people's recognition. B.Spending time helping others.
C.Making a deep impression on others. D. Improving one's interpersonal skills.
3.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Benefits of volunteering. B.Parents' roles in a family.
C. Importance of social skills. D. Ways of being a volunteer.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.A Road to Real Wealth in Life B.A Lesson in Wealth Management
C.A Different Way to Pursue Happiness D.A Life-changing Volunteering Experience
8.When we see someone for the first time, we interpret many tiny things from their faces. But since the pandemic began, we have often been interacting with people whose faces we can only half see. And this goes both ways, weakening our ability to offer a friendly smile. So what does it mean to go more than a year without seeing smiles as steadily as we did before?
A 2020 research paper in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that dividing the face into a visible half and invisible half might enhance the perception of negative emotions and decrease the perception of positive emotions. “Emotions such as surprise that use the mouth may be mistaken for strongly negative emotions such as anger or sadness and a smile may seem diminished or less genuine when the teeth and lips are covered, the authors wrote.
Peter Revenaugh has been studying how people interpret faces for years. He knows this firsthand. As a surgeon who often wears masks around patients, he is careful to use other cues to be clear when, for example, he is making a joke. Some of my jokes fall flat, he said "because they’re not really sure. They can’t see me smiling."
Ways to adjust to restricted facial communication include making more of an effort to analyse positivity. People can employa cadence(抑扬顿挫)to their speech to guide others, for example. Crinkling the corners of the eyes, a lighter tone of the voice, all can help. Revenaugh has tried to use his eyes more to express meaning. “Our eyes crinkle at the corner when we’re doing a true smile, and most people around the world recognize that as a happy feeling, he said.
And when Revenaugh is with a patient both masked and he is joking?
“I’ll simply say, 'I’m joking.'" he said.
1. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Surprise is mainly expressed through the eyes.
B. Negative emotions always involve the mouth.
C. Half of our emotions are mistaken due to wearing masks
D. The mouth can be very helpful in interpreting an emotion
2. What gives Revenaugh an advantage in understanding the perception ofemotions?
A. His occupation. B. His personality.
C. His sense of humor. D. His interpreting skills.
3. How does Revenaugh make sure his jokes don’t fall flat?
A.By whispering his jokes to people.
B.By making gestures with his hands.
C.By identifying his patients in a positive way.
D.By telling his intention directly to the patients.
4.What could be the best title of the text?
A.Side Effects of Facial Communication B.Bringing Back Smiles in the Pandemic
C.How to Improve Masked Communication D.How to Change the Way People Wear Masks
9.If it weren’t for passionate people, this would be a dull world indeed.
Peter Cavanagh, of Lopez Island certainly qualifies in the passionate category, having taken 600,000 pictures of birds all over the world in the past 13years. Cavanagh73is a retired professor in the University of Washington. He minored in math and is an instrument-rated pilot. His pictures mostly capture birds in flight not on a perch(栖息).
“I have a sense of wonder at flight because it is the most highly complex form of movement in the entire animal kingdom,” says Cavanagh. “Humans have spent more than six centuries trying to imitate bird flight but still have not produced flying machines with all of the complexity, flexibility and performance that is commonplace for birds.” For birds, the math of it all just happens. A small bird such as the American kestrel, the smallest falcon(猎鹰)in our region at about 4 ounces, sits and waits for prey.
Meanwhile, to achieve flight, a 90-ton commercial jet is filled with electronics and computer systems. “Birds have flying abilities we have not come close to matching in airplanes,” says Cavanagh. The Royal Acronautical Society in London, in a January 2021 posting, told ho researchers at the University of Denmark did computer design of a Boeing 777 wing based on a bird’s wings. It was 5% lighter, which matters in fuel costs. In 2019, Airbus produced a Bird of Prey" design that mimicked the eagle’s wing and tail structure for flight control.
Cavanagh enjoys every minute of waiting and waiting, and waiting, starting at sunrise to capture those images. “I am happiest in truly wild places where the human is a tolerated guest and they are the world of wild animals.”
1. What is Peter Cavanagh’s passion?
A. Math education. B. Bird photography.
C. Airplane engineering. D. Wilderness exploration.
2. Why did the author mention the American kestrel?
A.To compare the sizes and weights of the birds.
B.To show the importance of math in biomechanics
C.To prove the unmatched flying abilities of birds.
D.To stress the diversity of native American species.
3. What does the underlined word “mimicked” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Imitated. B. Abandoned. C. Outperformed. D. Discovered.
4.Which word best describes Peter Cavanagh’s attitude to nature according to the last paragraph?
A. Skeptical. B. Respectful. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.

When the word was repeated, they were supposed to perform the gesture themselves.(当测试对象第一次听到新词汇时，他们同时看到了一段视频，视频中有人做了一个与单词意思相匹配的手势。当这个词被重复时，他们应该自己做这个手势。）可知，测试对象被要求重复视频里的人所做的事。故选B。2.推理判断题。根据第三段The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures.(研究人员得出结论，运动皮层有助于翻译通过手势学习的词汇。）可知，发送脉冲是为了确认运动皮层的功能。故选C。3.推理判断题。根据最后一段I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms.(我认为我们在课堂上没有充分利用手势。）可知，Brian Mathias认为这一研究可以用于课堂教学。故选C。4.标题归纳题。 根据第一段But if you also gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. Linking a word to brain areas responsible for movement strengthens the memory of its meaning.(但如果你在学习的时候也用手臂做手势，即使几个月后，你也能更好地记住词汇。将一个单词与大脑负责运动的区域联系起来，可以加强对其含义的记忆。）可知，文章主要介绍了当学习一门外语时，大多数都采取了传统的方法：读、写、听和重复。但是如果你在学习的同时加上手势动作，可以帮助你更好地记住词汇。所以D.Gestures Help Learn New Words（手势有助于学习新单词）作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。
7.答案：1-4 ABAA
解析：1.推理判断题。 根据第一段中 的“Perhaps the greatest lesson I share is that being rich isn't a dollar amount; it is a perception that includes happiness, peace of mind, comfort and security.(也许我分享的最重要的经验是，富有不是钱的数目；这是一种包括幸福、心灵舒适和安全感的感知）”可推断，作者对财富的理解是，它更多的是一种精神状态。故选A。2.细节理解题。 根据第二段中的“Donating your time makes you grateful for all that you have, and you'll have the unmatched joy and excitement of knowing you made a huge impact for the good of others.(奉献你的时间会让你感激你所拥有的一切，你会拥有无与伦比的喜悦和兴奋，因为知道你为他人的利益产生了巨大的影响）”可知，花时间帮助别人会让一个人感激他已经拥有的一切。故选B。3.主旨大意题。 根据第三段中的“This has the added benefit of serving as a good role model to your children.(这样做还有一个额外的好处，那就是给你的孩子树立一个好榜样）”及整段内容可知，本段的重点都是阐述做志愿服务的好处。故选A。4.主旨大意题。 根据第一段中的“As a financial adviser, my clients come to me seeking help with growing their wealth.(作为一名理财顾问, 我的客户来向我寻求财富增长的帮助)”和最后一段中的“If“wealth”really is a perception of happiness, comfort and security, we must learn to get outside our own experience and understand what wealth means to other people.(如果“财富”真的是一种幸福、 舒适和安全的感觉，我们必须学会走出自己的经验，了解财富对其他人意味着什么）”及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了对财富的正确认识，有钱不一定富有，当志愿者与别人分享时间、金钱、精力时，他们才是真正富有的人。由此可知，“A Road to Real Wealth in Life(通往真正财富的道路）”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
8.答案：1-4 DADC
解析：1.推理判断题。 根据第二段的“Emotions such as surprise that use the mouth may be mistaken for strongly negative emotions such as anger or sadness, and a smile may seem diminished or less genuine when the teeth and lips are covered(用嘴表达的惊讶等情绪可能会被误认为是愤怒或悲伤等强烈的负面情绪，而当牙齿和嘴唇被遮住时，微笑可能会显得不那么真诚。）”可知，在诠释一种情绪时，嘴巴很有帮助。故选D。2.推理判断题。 根据第三段的“As a surgeon who often wears masks around patients, he is careful to use other cues to be clear(作为一名外科医生，他在病人身边经常戴着口罩，所以他会小心地使用其他线索来表达清楚）”可知，Revenaugh在理解情感感知方面有优势是因为他的职业，故选A。3.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I'll simply say, I'm joking.(我会简单地说，‘我在开玩笑’。）”可知，Revenaugh为了确保他的笑话不会失败，他会直接告诉病人他的意图，故选D。4.主旨大意题。 通读全文， 尤其是第四段的“Ways to adjust to restricted facial communication include making more of an effort to analyse positivity. People can employ a cadence to their speech to guide others, for example. Crinkling the corners of the eyes, a lighter tone of the voice, all can help.(适应有限的面部交流的方法包括努力分析积极的一面。例如，人们可以用自己的抑扬顿挫来引导别人。皱起眼角，轻声细语，这些都有帮助。）”可知，本文主要讲的是戴口罩会减少我们对于积极情绪的感知及如何应对，也就是在戴着口罩的情况下如何进行有效的交流，因此最好的题目是C选项“How to Improve Masked Communication(如何改善蒙面沟通）”，故选C。
