04 Writing Workshop—Reading Club 2 Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 A [陕西安康2024高一期末] My name is Arianna Traviglia and I’m a senior cultural and heritage researcher at the Centre for Cultural Heritage Technology of the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, Italy. As head of the team, I encourage the development of new technologies to maintain and protect important archaeological （考古学的） findings. Right now, I am working in the field of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city which was destroyed and buried under 13 to 20 feet of ash and small rocks during a volcanic eruption in 79 CE.With the help of a robot, I try to carefully reconstruct （重建） the city’s around 2,000-year-old broken frescoes （湿壁画）.The project is called RePAIR. 刷阅读理解 2 There are thousands of fresco pieces in Pompeii, and it was nearly impossible for a human to reconstruct all the irregular pieces into big, meaningful paintings in the past. Technology now allows us to do it—the robot we use is run by artificial intelligence （AI）. As it examines a piece, it searches a database for a match, and then sends the data back to its hands to fit matching pieces together, saving a lot of hours. Its soft human-like arms and hands allow it to hold and examine the easily broken pieces without damaging them. The technology is likely to allow many museums around the world to reconstruct large-scale broken frescoes or similar objects in the future. In RePAIR, I’m in charge of studying the hyperspectral （高光谱的） images of the fresco pieces in storage and comparing them with the paintings on the walls of the House of the Painters at Work, part of a building in Pompeii. By comparing the resemblances in the images, we will be able to work out whether the broken pieces were from the same wall. 刷阅读理解 3 I studied history and archaeology in college. Archaeology helps us understand where we come from, and technology enriches that exploration. I’m glad I’m a translator of the two worlds. My mind runs wild when I think about the exciting Roman life that we are still missing because Pompeii’s frescoes were damaged and haven’t been reconstructed. 刷阅读理解 4 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者借助机器人修复庞贝古城破碎的壁画的故事。 1.What is the author mainly responsible for now?( ) C A.Designing robots used for archaeology. B.Reporting on recent studies of historical ruins. C.Repairing the damaged archaeological findings. D.Discovering ancient cities hidden beneath the ground. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Right now, I am working in the field of Pompeii… With the help of a robot, I try to carefully reconstruct the city’s around 2,000-year-old broken frescoes.可知，作者现在正在机器人的帮助下重建这座城市有约2,000年历史的破碎壁画，即作者正在修复损坏的考古发现。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 5 2.What is mentioned about the robot used in the project?( ) A A.It doesn’t need human operators. B.It may cause further damage to artworks. C.It has already been widely used in museums. D.It takes more time to examine the artworks. 解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的the robot we use is run by artificial intelligence （AI）可知，机器人由人工智能驱动，所以不需要人类来操作，A&8& 。B&9& :根据Its soft human-like arms and hands… without damaging them.可知，机器人有像人类一样柔软的手臂和手掌，不会损坏壁画碎片；C&10& :根据The technology is likely to allow many museums around the world to reconstruct large-scale broken frescoes or similar objects in the future.可知，这项技术目前还未在博物馆中广泛使用；D&11& :根据As it examines a piece… saving a lot of hours.可知，机器人能节省很多时间。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 6 3.What does the underlined word “resemblances” in paragraph 4 mean?( ) B A.Mistakes. B.Similarities. C.Damage. D.Documents. 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的comparing them with the paintings on the walls of the House of the Painters at Work, part of a building in Pompeii可知，作者需要把存储的壁画作品的高光谱图像和墙壁上的画作进行比较，再根据画线词所在句可知，通过比较图像，可确定碎片是否来自同一面墙。由此可推知，这里指比较两者的相似之处，就可以确定碎片是否来自同一面墙。因此画线词意为“相似之处”，故选B项。 刷阅读理解 7 4.How does the author find her work in RePAIR?( ) B A.Dangerous. B.Meaningful. C.Relaxing. D.Successful. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Archaeology helps us understand where we come from, and technology enriches that exploration. I’m glad I’m a translator of the two worlds.可知，作者很高兴自己能从事这样的工作，即作者感觉自己的工作是有意义的。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 8 &12& 核心词汇 1.maintain vt. 维护；保养；保持；维持 2.fit vi. & vt.组合；组装 刷阅读理解 9 B [河南郑州外国语学校2024高一期中] When plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. At this point in our social media entanglement （纠缠）, the fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given. Sure, some chefs, including Michelin-starred chefs, express their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table a screen-free domain have mostly fallen flat. New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that their friends post on social media. For every serving of fruits and vegetables that a person thinks their friends are eating, they’ll eat an extra fifth of a serving. This number makes more sense within the context of the five-a-day recommendation, meaning someone who’s being influenced would make a point of eating six portions of fruits and vegetables. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they’ll eat an extra one. 刷阅读理解 10 The research suggests that social media can be very beneficial when it comes to people’s choices of food and their diets. Study author Lily Hawkins said, “The implication is that we can use social media as a tool to ‘nudge’ each other’s eating behaviour within friendship groups, and use this knowledge as a tool for public health interventions.” Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media. People desire to copy what they see but they need good social media literacy skills in order to grasp what’s realistic and what’s absurd. It is necessary to avoid the fake perfection of social media. It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so no wonder people want to take the path of least resistance and eat what their friends are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. Therefore, keep your antennae （触角） out for new ideas. You can gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今人们在吃饭前给食物拍照成了一种常见现象，研究发现观看食物照片的帖子会影响食物摄取量。 1.What phenomenon is talked about in paragraph 1?( ) B A.The influence of social media on people’s diet. B.People’s taking photos of food before eating. C.Chefs’ efforts to make the table screen-free. D.The pursuit of dining in fancy restaurants. 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，当盘子放在桌子上时，人们先做的是对食物进行拍照并发表到社交媒体上，一些厨师表达了他们对这种现象的不满，但让餐桌成为无屏幕区域的努力大多失败了。由此推测，第一段主要谈论了人们在吃饭前给食物拍照的现象。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 12 2.What’s the consequence of people’s seeing their friends’ online food posts?( ) D A.They’ll like what their friends eat. B.They’ll take junk food more seriously. C.They’ll care more about their friends’ eating habits. D.They’ll consume more than they think their friends do. 解析 细节理解题。 根据第二段中的This number makes more sense within the context of the five-a-day recommendation, meaning someone who’s being influenced would make a point of eating six portions of fruits and vegetables. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they’ll eat an extra one.可知，人们看到朋友的在线帖子的后果是当他们认为朋友吃了一定量的食物，他们就会摄入超出该量的食物。 刷阅读理解 13 3.What’s Lily Hawkins’s attitude towards social media?( ) A A.Positive. B.Doubtful. C.Concerned. D.Unclear. 解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中莉莉·霍金斯的话可知，人们可以利用社交媒体作为一种工具，在朋友圈中鼓励彼此的饮食选择，并将这些知识作为公共卫生干预的工具。由此可知，莉莉·霍金斯对社交媒体持肯定态度。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 14 4.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?( ) D A.Point out the unreality of social media. B.Call on people to enrich their knowledge of cooking. C.Introduce the general classification of food posted online. D.Encourage people to broaden their sources of food inspiration. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Therefore, keep your antennae out for new ideas. You can gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family.可知，作者建议从食物杂志、烹饪书、商店传单、可靠的烹饪网站以及朋友和家人推荐的食谱中思考每天吃什么，也就是鼓励人们拓宽食物灵感的来源。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 15 &13& 熟词生义 given 熟义：vt. 给（give的过去分词） 生义：n. 认定的事实 adj. 已经安排好的；指定的；特定的 prep. 考虑到；鉴于 刷阅读理解 16 I always knew that I depended too much on my phone.
