微卷(三)　50分阅读提分练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·青岛高三考试)Community colleges offer low tuition，job­specific training and other benefits.Whether you're a high school student unsure of which colleges to apply to or someone considering going back to school，there are plenty of reasons to put community colleges on your list. Lower Costs The most frequently cited benefit of community colleges is the relatively low cost of attendance.According to data from the College Board，community colleges cost，on average，about one­third of in­state tuition at four­year public universities. A Path to a Four­year College Many four­year universities have transfer agreements with local community colleges.These agreements allow students who complete specific requirements to easily transfer to a four­year program at a nearby university.Transfer students can then earn a bachelor's degree while only having to pay two years' higher tuition. Flexibility Community colleges allow for flexible scheduling，making them a particularly good option for older students who are working professionals or parents.Many community colleges also allow high school students to take college­level courses during evenings or weekends. Workforce Training Community colleges tend to offer a wide range of career and technical education programs in fields like nursing or firefighting.The highly applied nature of these programs prepares students for entering the workforce.From culinary(烹饪的)arts to automobile mechanics，community colleges offer a broad selection of professionalized courses that four­year universities often do not. 1.Who are most likely to attend community colleges？ A.High school students facing college choices. B.Adults planning to work at high schools. C.College students anxious to improve themselves. D.Professionals eager for academic courses. 2.Which is thought to be the biggest advantage of community colleges？ A.Lower Costs. B.A Path to a Four­year College. C.Flexibility. D.Workforce Training. 3.Which of the following can best describe the workforce training programs？ A.Interesting. B.Time­consuming. C.Practical. D.Demanding. B (2024·日照高三联合考试)As a child，Fischer loved going to the beach and riding bikes along the coastline with his father，Karl Fischer.So when he lost his dad to pancreatic cancer，he turned to the healing power of the ocean. At the start of this year，Fischer wrote his father's name on his surfboard and took it out to sea in Newport，Rhode Island.His father's name shone in the sun on what felt like a shared adventure.Inspired，Fischer made a video and posted it on social media on the same day.“If you love the ocean，or you know someone who loves the ocean，or maybe you lost someone who just loved being outdoors...you can comment on this video with their name and a bit of their story，and I'll put their name on my board here，just like I've done with my father's name，” he said in the video.“And I'll take them out in the ocean for you.” Names poured in from thousands of strangers grieving (悲伤) the loss of their loved ones.And with that the One Last Wave Project was born，the aim of which was to exchange stories with a community of people going through the same pain.They were essentially healing together.About two months later，Fischer had received over 5，000 names and written most of them on two surfboards.The first two surfboards ran out of space — he was working on getting more.He wrote the names in neat letters on the surfboard and put a clear acrylic (丙烯酸的) coat over them so that they didn't wash off. Though a lot of people have been struggling with grief in the pandemic，Fischer was amazed by the responses that had poured in.“If I am able to help one or more persons，that is enough for me，” he said.“But I am blown away — by not just the number of people sharing，but the depth of stories and love that they are sharing.” And he plans to take his project around the world and connect with even more people — through shared grief and the power of the ocean. 4.How did Fischer share his idea with others？ A.By giving a live broadcast online. B.By posting a video on the Internet. C.By going to the beach with his father. D.By writing his father's name on the surfboard. 5.Why did Fischer start the One Last Wave Project？ A.To memorize his father. B.To attract public attention. C.To face the pandemic bravely. D.To help people out of sadness. 6.What does Fischer intend to do next？ A.Share his experience at sea. B.Extend the project worldwide. C.Connect to more social media. D.Sail around the world with strangers. 7.What can we learn from the story？ A.Actions speak louder than words. B.He who laughs last laughs best. C.A good beginning makes a good ending. D.Sharing can help heal the pain. C Young kids' brains are very sensitive to their moms' voices，science has shown.But as kids grow into teens，everything changes.Teenagers' brains are now more tuned in to strangers' voices than those of their own moms'，new research shows. The researchers scanned the brains of 7­to 16­year­olds as they listened to things said by their moms or by unfamiliar women.The words were pure gibberish：teebudieshawlt，keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt.Using such meaningless words allowed the scientists to study voices on their own，not what they were saying.As the kids listened，certain parts of their brains became active.This was especially true in brain regions that help us to detect rewards and pay attention. Daniel Abrams，a researcher at Stanford University School of Medicine in California，and his colleagues have already known that younger kids' brains respond more strongly to their mom's voice than to a stranger's.“In adolescence，we show the exact opposite of that，” Abrams says. “These areas in the adolescent brain don't stop responding to moms' voices，” Abrams says.It's just that unfamiliar voices become more rewarding and worthy of attention.Here's why：As kids grow up，they expand their social connections beyond their family.So their brains need to begin paying more attention to that wider world. But moms' voices still have special power，especially in times of stress，one 2011 study with girls involved showed.Levels of stress dropped when these stressed­out girls heard their moms' voices on the phone. The brain seems to adapt to new needs that come with adolescence.“As we mature，our survival depends less and less on our moms' support，” says Leslie Seltzer，a biological anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin­Madison.“Instead，” she says，“we rely more and more on our friends and others closer to our own age.” “So while both teens and their parents may sometimes feel frustrated by missed messages，that's OK，” Abrams says.“This is the way the brain is wired，and there's a good reason for it.” 8.What does the underlined word “gibberish” in Paragraph 2 refer to？ A.Relaxation.　　　 B.Disturbance. C.Information. D.Nonsense. 9.Why do teens become more sensitive to unfamiliar voices？ A.They desire real recognition. B.They need more connections. C.They are tired of their moms. D.They have more energy to spare. 10.What are moms' voices like to teens according to the 2011 study？ A.Unpleasant. B.Exciting. C.Comforting. D.Strange. 11.What is Daniel Abrams' opinion on teens' change in their voice preference？ A.It is frustrating and problematic. B.It deserves scientific prevention. C.It is normal and understandable. D.It negatively affects their growth. D Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are filled with a diverse range of fish.Some fish are more beautiful to humans than others，and many people firmly believe that beautiful fish deserve more conservation than the uglier species.Is the “firm belief” true？You can get the answer from a new paper published in the journal PLOS Biology. Researchers showed 481 photographs of ray­finned reef fish to 13，000 members of the public.With that data，they then trained a computer model to generate predictions for an additional 4，400 photographs of 2，417 of the most common reef fish species.They next compared the aesthetic rating of each species with other characteristics，including evolutionary history，distinctiveness from other fish，conservation status and importance to fisheries. After analyzing the numbers，researchers found that the fish humans rated as the most beautiful tended to be less ecologically and evolutionarily distinct.Prettier fish were also more likely to be listed as species of “least concern” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. On the contrary，the fish that humans found to be the least attractive were the most ecologically and evolutionarily distinct，and they were more likely to be listed as “threatened” on the IUCN Red List.Unattractive species also tended to be more important to commercial fisheries，which put them at higher risk for overfishing. “The less attractive species have the highest ecological distinctiveness，and thus provide the highest diversity of ecological functions，” they write in the paper.“We need to pay more attention to the extinction risk of the less attractive fish species，or that might have overlooked effects on reef ecosystem functioning.” “Therefore，to minimize the impact of aesthetic biases，scientists，conservation groups and policymakers may need to change how they communicate about wildlife，” the researchers write.“Making people more aware of the roles uglier fish play in reef ecosystems could help them gain more support.” 12.What did the researchers do for their research？ A.They rated all the photos on their own. B.They hunted for reef fish in coral reefs. C.They stayed underwater to monitor fish. D.They used a computer to predict ratings. 13.What does the researchers' analysis suggest？ A.The research is a failure. B.Fish's role in nature is equal. C.The “firm belief” isn't true. D.Uglier fish are less important. 14.What is the researchers' advice？ A.Building natural reserves worldwide for uglier fish. B.Making an attempt to raise people's aesthetic levels. C.Raising awareness about the appearance of uglier fish. D.Educating people on uglier fish's ecological importance. 15.What might be the best title for the text？ A.Uglier Fish Are Facing Extinction B.Coral Reefs Rely on Various Fish C.Uglier Fish Need More Protection D.Aesthetic Biases Put Reefs in Danger Ⅱ.阅读七选五 (2024·惠州市高三考试)I've thought long and hard about individual books that have changed my life.　16　 But considering books in the broader sense，that's a different matter.Books，by themselves，have most definitely changed my life. I still have books from my childhood，treasured and kept safe in a wooden box.I suppose you could say I had favorite authors from a very young age ：Richard Scarry was the first.I love The Supermarket Mystery most，which gave me great pleasure.Even then I knew books mattered and as soon as I could write my name correctly，I would claim ownership (所有权) of books.　17　 The next milestone on my journey with books probably came when I discovered Enid Blyton.　18　 I read every single one of the “Famous Five”，“ Secret Seven” and “Adventurous Four” books，but it was her boarding school books that thrilled me as a young girl and sparked a love of escapist fiction. That love of escapist fiction has never left me.I never read non­fiction，and my pattern of finding an author I love and then reading every book he or she wrote continues，through Agatha Christie in my teens，to Lee Child as an adult.　19　 When real life gets too much，which place to seek shelter is better than the pages of a detective book that takes you away to another place？ 　20　 I studied for a degree in English Literature，and three years spent analyzing texts which I would otherwise not have chosen to read，greatly took the shine off reading.It took me a long time to find my way back to books.J.K.Rowling，I have to say，was a gift in that respect. A.That's why I love the books. B.My spelling has improved since then. C.Her books turned me into a devoted reader. D.My favorite type is definitely detective fiction. E.The honest answer is that there really aren't any. F.My passion for reading has benefited me a lot in the long run. G.But my relationship with books hasn't always been an easy one. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 微卷(三)　50分阅读提分练 Ⅰ. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇应用文。文章讲述把社区大学列入申请名单的理由。 1.A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Whether you're...on your list.”可知，无论你是一个不确定要申请哪所大学的高中生，还是一个考虑重返校园的人，有很多理由把社区大学列入你的名单。由此可知，最有可能上社区大学的是面临大学选择的高中生。 2.A　细节理解题。根据Lower Costs部分中的“The most frequently...cost of attendance.”可知，最常被提及的社区大学的好处是入学成本相对较低。 3.C　推理判断题。根据Workforce Training部分中的“Community colleges tend...entering the workforce.”可知，社区大学倾向于提供广泛的职业和技术教育课程，如护理或消防等领域。这些课程的高应用性本质为学生进入职场作好了准备。由此可以推知，这些劳动力培训课程是实用的。 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。费舍尔的父亲死于胰腺癌，他求助于海洋的治愈力量。费舍尔把父亲的名字写在冲浪板上，带着冲浪板出海。他把自己的做法拍成视频发到网上，告诉其他失去亲人的人可以把自己亲人的名字发给他，他可以通过把他们的名字写在冲浪板上，帮助提供名字的人一起治愈悲伤。 4.B　细节理解题。根据第二段的“Inspired，Fischer made a video...he said in the video.”可知，费舍尔录制了视频并把它发到网上，让其他人用一些人的名字和故事来评论视频，故B项正确。 5.D　细节理解题。根据第三段的“Names poured in...essentially healing together.”可知，名字蜂拥而至，它们来自成千上万因为失去亲人而悲伤的陌生人。接着One Last Wave Project诞生了，其目的是与一群遭受同样痛苦的人交流故事，他们本质上是在一起疗伤。由此可知，他建立One Last Wave Project的目的是和一群遭受同样痛苦的人交流故事，一起治愈失去亲人的悲伤，即帮助人们走出悲伤。 6.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“And he plans to...the power of the ocean.”可知，他还计划把他的项目带到世界各地，通过分享悲痛和海洋的力量，与更多的人建立联系。由此可推知，费舍尔打算在全世界推广这个项目。 7.D　推理判断题。浏览全文可知，文章讲述了费舍尔的父亲死于胰腺癌，他求助于海洋的治愈力量。费舍尔把父亲的名字写在冲浪板上，带着冲浪板出海。他把自己的做法拍成视频发到网上，告诉其他失去亲人的人可以把自己亲人的名字发给他，他可以通过把他们的名字写在冲浪板上，帮助提供名字的人一起治愈悲伤。由此可推知，费舍尔让遭受同样痛苦的人分享自己的悲痛，然后帮助这些人治愈悲痛，这表明分享有助于治愈痛苦。故选D项。 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了当孩子们变成青少年时，陌生的声音会变得比妈妈的声音更有吸引力，这其中是有科学依据的。 8.D　词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“teebudieshawlt，keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt”和“Using such meaningless words ...”可推知，画线词“gibberish”的意思是“无意义的话”，与nonsense的意思最为接近。故选D。 9.B　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，青少年对陌生的声音反应更敏感是因为他们需要扩大自己的社交关系。故选B。 10.C　推理判断题。根据第五段可推断，对于青少年来说，妈妈的声音依然让青少年感到安慰。故选C。 11.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段可推断，Daniel Abrams认为青少年的声音偏爱的变化是正常且可以理解的。故选C。 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，外表相对丑陋的鱼在生态和进化上是独特的，它们更有可能受到威胁。因此，它们更需要保护。 12.D　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，研究人员们利用电脑进行了评定预测。故选D。 13.C　推理判断题。根据第一段以及第四段可知，人们认为美丽的鱼应该受到更多的保护，但是研究分析表明并非如此。由此可推断，这个“坚定的观点”并不对。故选C。 14.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，研究者们建议教育人们意识到丑鱼对生态的重要性。故选D。 15.C　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段和第四段可知，文章主要讲述外表相对丑陋的鱼更需要保护。C选项“更丑的鱼需要更多的保护”最符合文章标题。故选C。 Ⅱ. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了阅读改变作者的生活。 16.E　根据空前一句可知，空处应该会讲到思考的结果，结合下文的“But considering books in the broader sense...have most definitely changed my life.”可知，空处与后一句形成了转折，应该会讲到没什么书改变了作者的人生，故E项符合语境。 17.B　结合下一段首句中的“The next milestone”可以推测，空处讲到的应该也是一个里程碑式的进步，故B项“从那以后，我的拼写有了提高”符合语境，且B项与空前的“write my name”相呼应。 18.C　根据空后一句，尤其是“read every single one”可知，C项“她的书让我成了一个热衷于读书的人”符合语境。 19.D　根据空后一句，尤其是“the pages of a detective book”可知，空处讲到的应该是作者对侦探小说的热爱，故D项符合语境。 20.G　根据本段中的“greatly took the shine off reading.It took me a long time to find my way back to books”可知，本段主要讲作者在阅读路上的坎坷，故G项适合作本段的主旨句。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
