专项卷二 阅读理解(六选五) 题组训练(一) Passage　1 [2023·襄阳]China is the country that eats the most watermelons in the world. It’s not because foreigners don’t like watermelons but “they can’t afford them”. Do you know why？ 1 It’s reported that a kilo of US watermelon is about $6. 91 in New York，which is about 46 in China. 2 But things are different in China. According to the FAO(联合国粮农组织)，China now is the world’s largest watermelon producer and customer. 3 And the weather is just right for planting watermelons. With the large output(产量)，the price is naturally much lower. Secondly，countries like the USA and Australia have a wide land，but watermelons were not introduced there as early as in China. The local people prefer other fruits that were known earlier to watermelons. 4 Thirdly，according to some reports，watermelons from foreign countries may not taste good. 5 Why is that? Wu Mingzhu is an 80­year­old Chinese scientist who spends her whole life on the improvement of growing better watermelons. Thanks to her hard work，we can enjoy more delicious and much cheaper watermelons. A. Firstly，China’s land area is large. B. Watermelons are my favorite fruit. C. So，watermelons are not as popular as other fruits. D. That’s because they’re too expensive in most countries. E. However，in China，we seldom eat watermelons that taste bad. F.

It is developed to make up human­like texts. It can translate languages，talk with people and write songs，poems and even jokes. 1 If you ask the robot to write a bedtime story，just type in (输入) “A cat wants to go to space”. One second later，you’ll get a story of a cat called Max，who was on his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars. 2 They posted their results on social media. Some asked it to take notes or give advice on how to communicate with people at a party，and some wrote history articles with it. The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of difficult matters. We may spend hours researching，understanding and writing an article on a certain topic. 3 Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark，harmful questions，such as how to make weapons (武器)，it will not give you an answer. ChatGPT appears at a time when AI is becoming better at doing creative tasks. The system can produce something similar to human’s own works. 4 But the creation of art should also be a lot more personal. So people have many worries about that. However，the ChatGPT is a completely new thing. It is only natural for it to cause some problems. 5 A. People around the world tried ChatGPT. B. It has the writing skills of a real person. C. We expect the problems to be solved over time. D. People start depending on ChatGPT for art works. E. Nowadays few people use ChatGPT to write or draw. F.

Researchers did the study. They used ultrasonic microphones(超声波麦克风) to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. 2 ：one group wasn’t watered for five days，another group had the stems(茎) cut off，and the third group was untouched. It turned out that the first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times per hour at a frequency(频率) of 40 to 80 kilohertz，while the untouched group only made the sound once per hour. When tomatoes are not stressed at all，they are very quiet. 3 ，but they believe the noise comes from the breaking of air bubbles(气泡) in the plants. This means the noise produced by the plants is not intentional(故意的) or a form of active communication. There is no evidence(证据) that plants can intentionally communicate. 4 . For example，the sound can tell a moth(蛾子) that the plant is under stress and not suitable to lay eggs on. An animal that wants to eat a plant could also use the sounds to make decisions，according to Science Focus. After the experiment，the researchers listened to other plants such as wheat(小麦) and corn，and found that they also made more sounds when stressed. 5 ，as they can better take care of the crops(庄稼) by “hearing” how plants feel. A. Three groups of plants were listened to B. The researchers don’t know how the sounds are made C. Researchers said the study can benefit farmers in the future D. But animals and insects may be “listening in” to benefit from the sound E. But a new study showed that plants can make sounds when they are stressed F. The farmers will pay no attention to the sound of the crops 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项研究。研究表明植物在受到压力时能够发出声音。该研究有助于农民们更好地照顾农作物。 1. __ 　2. __ 　3. __ 　4. __ 　5. __ E A B D C Passage　6 [2023·荆门]It is believed that a good memory comes naturally，while a bad memory cannot be changed. 1 Here is some advice for you. ▲ Take an interest. 2 This can explain the reason why schoolboys remember football results clearly but have trouble with dates from their history lessons. ▲ Repeat things in chunks(块). Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time. 3 The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember：1492178919318483. But look at them in groups or chunks repeatedly and it becomes much easier：149 217 8919 318 483. ▲ 4 To remember long lists，try inventing a story which includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments(实验)，people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this way. When tested later，they could remember about 90 percent of them. The test result was really amazing! ▲ Take physical exercise. Physical exercise is important for your memory，because it sends more oxygen(氧气) to your brain，and that makes your memory work better. 5 As we know，too much pressure is very bad for the memory. A. Invent a story. B. Putting numbers in groups may help you remember them. C. Remember a list. D. Exercise also makes you less stressed. E. In fact，you can do a lot to improve your memory. 　 F.

Some lucky ones might live on the coast and enjoy the benefits all around the year. 1 Most of us would say we feel healthier by the ocean. In the past，doctors would actually suggest spending time by the sea to their patients. And research has shown that people who live on the coast are more likely to believe their health is good compared to those living in a city. So how do we benefit，exactly? Well，to start with，it’s great for our mental (心理) health. Scientists have discovered that we have something called a blue mind. They have shown that watching，listening to the waves (海浪) or being in the ocean helps our brains slow down. 2 This is why people who have trouble sleeping are often told to listen to recordings of the sound of waves hitting the beach to help them relax at bedtime. 3 We go out a lot more when we’re on holiday by the sea. We often become more active on holidays and people who live on the coast are usually more active too. 4 Walking on sand requires more effort than on the pavement. And the sea air is good for people with breathing problems too. There is less pollution in the air near the ocean and in autumn and winter the air is fresher. This is healthier than the dry air in homes with central heating. It has even been found that the chemicals in sea water may help us have healthy skin. 5 We look forward so much to having our next one! A. Breathing the air in the city makes you more active. B. Others usually have to wait for the next vacation. C. Being by the sea is also good for our physical health. D. Naturally we often feel so great at the end of a seaside holiday. E.

But what about your EQ (情商)? 1 EQ is a measure of your ability to recognize (辨别) and manage your emotions，as well as the emotions of others，according to Psychology Today. Simply put，having a high EQ means that you’re a “people” person. You know yourself very well and you can easily understand others. 2 They are the ability to recognize your own emotions；the ability to use those emotions to solve problems；and the ability to manage emotions，such as by calming yourself down when you’re feeling nervous. Does it seem obvious to you that having a high EQ can be a good thing？ 3 They show great social skills，especially when they take up jobs that need them to deal with strangers often. According to MindTools，an online resource for career skill­building，many companies are now using EQ tests when interviewing new staff. 4 For example，when two friends have an argument，people with a high EQ can “read” the other person’s emotions and know when and how to stop the argument，perhaps by ending it in a humorous way. If you feel like you have a low EQ，don’t worry. 5 A good way is using positive thinking to help you get out of failures. By doing so，you can improve your EQ gradually. A. It’s possible to improve it. B. Do you know what EQ is? C. A low EQ will make us get into trouble. D. Many experts divide EQ into three skills. E. People with a high EQ perform much better at work. F.

And did this person’s expectations and actions give you the confidence you needed to succeed? If so, then you’ve learned the Pygmalion effect (皮格马利翁效应). The Pygmalion effect means expectations will influence a person’s performance. 1 He found that when teachers told a student he or she had a gift in Chinese or Chemistry, the student would act better on tests than those who were not told so. The idea behind the Pygmalion effect is that people rise or fall to reach the expectations set for them. When someone is expected to be perfect, they are more likely to get the resources they need to succeed. 2 On the other hand, when someone is thought as less capable (能力不足), they may miss a lot of chances and resources, which can result in poorer performance and less success. 3 This effect can be seen in different environment. In the workplace, managers who have high expectations of their workers will be more supportive and provide better chances for their growth and development. 4 Similarly, coaches are more willing to spend extra time with athletes who they consider gifted. The extra attention helps these athletes to spend more time practicing their skills, so they improve faster than the other athletes. In both cases, the key is not only to have high expectations but also to communicate those expectations and create a suitable environment. 5 And we people can use this effect in our own lives by keeping high expectations for ourselves and those around us. A. Finally the effect becomes a kind of circle. B. This can lead to better performance and greater success. C. To get better results, extra time and hard work are especially needed. D. It’s no surprise that such an environment leads to better work performance. E. This effect was found by Robert Rosenthal in study “Pygmalion in the Classroom” in 1968. F. By setting expectations and giving support, teachers can use the effect to help more students. 【导语】本文主要介绍了皮格马利翁效应，即期望会影响一个人的表现。 1. __ 　2. __ 　3. __ 　4. __ 　5. __ E B A D F Passage　10 [2023·山西]Every one of us has a chance to try new things. 1 The risk is that we will not be satisfied with our choice. For example，we may try a food we have never had before. 2 It can be too sour，too salty or too spicy. We may try a new style of music and get a headache. We may try a new sport like skating and end up falling down a lot. We may see a different kind of art and be completely disappointed (失望的). We may try to speak or write a different language and end up embarrassing ourselves. It sounds risky(有风险的) to us. 3 For example，we can try a new food. And we fall in love with it finally. It can be sweet or tastes very good. We may try a new sport and fall down but we get back up and finally experience pleasure，even for a minute. We may see why people love that sport so much If we try a new kind of music，we may regret we didn’t find it sooner. 4 We can try to write and speak a different language，and we may be a little embarrassed at first，but we know that the only way to improve is to make mistakes and keep on trying. 5 Then you will have chances to get rewards(回报). A. How can we try a new sport? B. But it is not so bad to take risks. C. And we don’t like the food finally. D. All in all，keep trying something new. E.

The words “clear” and “bright” exactly describe the weather. 2 As the name suggests, the most important event is to clear away grass around our ancestors’ tombs and add some fresh soil.

People often tie some little lanterns, which look like stars at night, to the kite or the kite string. 3 People wish to take diseases away by doing this.

It was said that the more eggs were eaten, the more chances the woman would have babies. Today, people eat eggs on this day for success and good health. 5 As trees turn green, flowers come out, and the sun shines brightly, everything returns to life. Why not go out next Clear and Bright?
