【中职专用】江苏省近十一年（2014-2024）职教高考英语真题分类汇编 08阅读理解C篇（说明文） （2024年·江苏对口单招） C Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such a familiar monologue as: “Get up, John. You’ll be late for work again.” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours. 52. What’s the relationship between the cycles of your energy and your body temperature? A. You feel hot when you have a high fever. B. You feel hot when you are doing physical exercise. C. The more energetic you are, the higher your temperature is. D. The less energetic you are, the higher your temperature is. 53. Which of the following statements is true about the energy cycle? A. Few people have a daily energy cycle. B. Some people don’t have an energy cycle. C. Different people have different energy cycles. D People have never heard of this term. 54. What will happen if family members have no idea of each other’s energy cycle? A. They may have conflicts. B. They may cooperate well. C. They may live a harmonious life. D. They may understand each other. 55. According to Dr. Kleitman, how can people work energetically at their low point? A. Keep to their habitual lifestyle. B. Change their habitual daily routine. C. Insist on staying up late as usual. D. Organize their activities as regularly as usual. 56. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. How to do routine work. B. How to avoid troublesome problems. C. How to save tasks for sharper hours. D. How to save energy for later use. 【答案】52. C 53. C 54. A 55. B 56. D 【解析】 52.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. (一天中你感觉精力最充沛的时候，就是你的体温周期达到顶峰的时候。)”可推知，精力越充沛，体温就会越高。故选C。 53.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. (每个人每天都有一个能量周期。)”及第二段中的“For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. (对有些人来说，体温峰值出现在上午。对其他人来说，则是在下午或傍晚。)”可推知，不同的人有不同的能量周期。故选C。 54.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. (当丈夫和妻子意识到这些能量周期的含义以及每个家庭成员的能量周期时，许多家庭争吵就会结束。)”可推知，如果家庭成员不知道彼此的能量周期，他们可能会发生冲突。故选A。 55.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. (如果你早上精力不济，但又有重要的工作要做，那就在平常时间之前起床。)”可知，人们如何在精神低谷时，可以通过改变他们习惯的日常生活规律来保持精力充沛地工作。故选B。 56.主旨大意题。文章的最后一段列举了一些节省精力的方法，例如起床时打哈欠、伸懒腰、前一天把衣服铺好等，即如何为日后的使用而节省精力。故选D。 （2023年·江苏对口单招） C Fake news is everywhere — you see it on your social media, and even on forwarded messages in your phone’s group chats. Being able to spot fake news is an important aspect of life in the digital age. Here’s a simple guide on how to spot fake news. Check the website and quality of the articles. Look at where the story comes from and read other articles on the site. Are they well written with proper citation (引用), or are they full of grammatical errors? You should also make sure that you are on a legal news website. Some fake sites use addresses similar to those of real news organizations. For example, a website that ends with .com might be real, while the one with .co is not. Moreover, remember to ask yourself, “Is it the whole truth?” Sometimes a fake news story can have some truth to it, but most of the facts and figures are made up. For example, the event and the people mentioned are real, but the quotes attributed to them and other facts are simply made up. Search for the same story on other credible websites to avoid being misled (误导). There are other steps you can take to check the information you receive. You can do a reverse image search. Upload a photo to some image search engines to see where else it has been used and for what purpose. That will help you find out if a photograph is being falsely presented. You can also do some independent search. Check the questionable piece of news against other news sources or fact-checking websites, which will help expose fake news and rumors. 52. The first paragraph of the passage is to ________. A. illustrate the importance of social media B. explain the bad effects of fake news on social media C. introduce fake news as the topic of this passage D. show the author’s attitude towards online fake news 53. Which of the following is probably a reason for the fast spread of fake news? A. The wide use of social media. B. The rapid development of education. C. The increasing number of newspaper readers. D The great influence of news organizations in the digital age. 54. How can people avoid being cheated by fake news? A. Browsing websites ending with .co. B. Believing the forwarded messages without doubt. C. Taking the received information as definitely true. D. Checking the received information on credible websites. 55. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To exemplify what fake news is. B. To tell people how to identify fake news. C. To explain why there is so much fake news. D. To call on people to fight against fake news. 56. What does the underlined word “rumors” in the last paragraph mean? A. Untrue stories. B. Funny stories. C. Private stories. D. Secret stories. 【答案】52. C 53. A 54. D 55. B 56. A 【解析】 52.考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Being able to spot fake news is an important aspect of life in the digital age. （在数字时代，识别假新闻是生活的一个重要方面。)”和“Here’s a simple guide on how to spot fake news. （这里有一个关于如何识别假新闻的简单指南。)”可知第一段是引出话题并提出辨别虚假信息的方法。故答案选C。 53.考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“you see it on your social media, and even on forwarded messages in your phone’s group chats (你可以在社交媒体上以及在你手机群聊中转发的信息中看到)”可知虚假信息源自社交媒体和群发消息。故答案选A。 54.考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Search for the same story on other credible websites to avoid being misled.（在其他可信的网站上搜索相同的故事，以避免被误导。)”可知避免被欺骗的方法之一就是在其他可信的网站上搜索相同的故事来核查其真实性。故答案选D。 55.考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“Being able to spot fake news is an important aspect of life in the digital age.

If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder’s location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory”(交互记忆). According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memory as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memory, that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access(获得) it at a later date. This does not mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 52. The passage begins with two questions to ▲ . A. introduce the main topic B. show the author’s attitude C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information 53. Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments in order to discover ▲ . A. if the Internet is changing memory B. how the Internet is changing memory C. what the Internet is changing D. why the Internet is changing memory 54. What can we learn about the first experiment? A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well. C. The first group did not try to remember the information. D. The second group did not understand the information. 55. In transactive memory, people ▲ . A. keep the information in mind B. change the quality of information C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information 56. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research? A. We are using memory differently. B. We are becoming more intelligent. C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information. 【答案】52. A 53. B 54. C 55. D 56. A 【解析】 52.正确答案是：A. introduce the main topic 文章开头通过两个问题来引出文章的主题，即互联网是否正在改变我们的记忆方式。因此，答案为A，即介绍主题。 53.正确答案是：B. how the Internet is changing memory 在文章第二段中提到，Betsy Sparrow教授和她的研究团队想要知道互联网是如何改变记忆的，因此她进行了一些实验。因此，答案为B，即发现互联网是如何改变记忆的。 54.正确答案是：C. The first group did not try to remember the information. 在第一组实验中，第一组人知道电脑会保存信息，所以他们没有尝试去记住这些信息。这是从第二段中的句子“People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it.”得出的结论。因此，答案为C。 55.正确答案是：D. remember how to find the information 在第三段中提到，当人们使用互联网时，他们并不记得信息本身，而是记得如何找到它。这被称为“交互记忆”（transactive memory）。因此，人们在交互记忆中会记住如何找到信息，而不是信息本身。选项D符合这个描述。 56.正确答案是：A. We are using memory differently. 根据最后一段中的句子“This does not mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.”可知，Sparrow的研究表明，我们并没有变得更聪明或更不聪明，但我们使用记忆的方式正在改变。因此，答案是A，即我们使用记忆的方式不同了。 （2021年·江苏对口单招） C In India, one of the most significant festivals is Diwali, which falls between October and November. It's a five-day celebration that includes good food, fireworks, colored sand, special candles and lamps. In honor of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, people make special prayers on the first day to obtain blessings for welfare, success, and well-being. People welcome the goddess into their homes by decorating entrances with colourful lanterns and traditional designs. In addition, many people treat themselves to fine jewelry, praying for good fortune. Those who cannot afford so much, seek out cheap items such as clothes or household goods. The second day of the festival is called Kali Chaudas. For some, the day provides an opportunity to get rid of bad luck from homes and businesses. They decorate their homes with clay lamps and create design patterns called Rangoli on the floor using colored powder or sand. The third day is when the biggest celebrations occur, which begin early in the morning with a visit to a temple to seek the blessing of the goddess. As the sun sets, people light up their homes with small lamps and enjoy delicious traditional foods with their loved ones. The fourth day of the festival is celebrated in many different ways. Friends and relatives visit with gifts, sweets and best wishes for the season. And the final day of the festival is called Bhai Dooj. It honors the close bond between brothers and sisters and is observed with traditional ceremonies and more delicious food. For children in India, Diwali is similar to Christmas. They get an entire week off from school and are treated to gifts, new clothes, amazing food, and, in the past at least, a large number of fireworks. It is no wonder that the festival ranks high among the country's favorite celebrations. 52. From the beginning of this passage, we know ________. A. the celebration of Diwali lasts a week B. Diwali starts from Monday and ends on Friday C. Diwali is celebrated for five days D. the festival is held on weekend 53. People celebrate the first day of Diwali for ________.

What is a man likely to do on the last day of the festival? A. Exchange gifts and best wishes with his loved ones. B. Be busy decorating his home during the day. C. Light his home with small lamps.

B 55. D 56. B 【解析】 52.正确答案是：C. Diwali is celebrated for five days 在文章第一段中提到：“It's a five-day celebration that includes good food，fireworks，colored sand，special candles and lamps.”（这是一个为期五天的庆祝活动，包括美食、烟花、彩色沙子、特殊蜡烛和灯笼。）因此，我们可以得知Diwali庆祝活动持续五天，答案为C。 53.正确答案是：A. good fortune 在第二段中提到：“In honor of Lakshmi，the Hindu goddess of wealth，people make special prayers on the first day to obtain blessings for welfare，success，and well-being.”（为了向印度教财富女神拉克希米致敬，人们在第一天做特别的祈祷，以获得福利、成功和幸福的祝福。）因此，人们庆祝Diwali的第一天是为了祈求好运，即A选项。 54.正确答案是：B. to help drive away something unpleasant 在第三段中提到，一些人认为这一天是摆脱家庭和生意中坏运气的机会，他们会在家中装饰陶土灯，并在地板上使用彩色粉末或沙子创造出叫做Rangoli的设计图案。因此，创建Rangoli的目的很可能是为了驱除不愉快的事物，即选项B。 55.正确答案是：D. Get together with his brothers and sisters. 在倒数第二段中提到：“And the final day of the festival is called Bhai Dooj. It honors the close bond between brothers and sisters and is observed with traditional ceremonies and more delicious food.”（节日的最后一天被称为“Bhai Dooj”，它庆祝兄弟姐妹之间的亲密关系，并通过传统仪式和更多美味的食物来庆祝。）因此，男人在节日的最后一天很可能会和兄弟姐妹们聚在一起，选项D是正确答案。 56.正确答案是：B. Getting Christmas gifts. 在文章最后一段中提到，对于印度的孩子们来说，Diwali就像圣诞节一样，他们可以享受一周的假期，得到礼物、新衣服、美食，以及过去大量的烟花。但并没有提到他们会得到圣诞礼物，因此B选项是不正确的原因。 （2020年·江苏对口单招） C When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, If you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!”I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does? As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local club and started attending the monthly meeting. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids and the sun hurts their eyes... The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them. When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad had never said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters. 52. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine? A. He could not catch a fish. B. His father was not patient with him. C. His father did not teach him fishing. D. He could not influence his father. 53. What did the author’s father really mean? A. To read about fish. B. To learn fishing by oneself. C. To understand what he thinks. D. To study fishing in books. 54. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found . A. in deep water on sunny days B. in deep water on cloudy days C. in shallow water under sunlight D. in shallow water under waterside trees 55.After entering the business world, the author found . A. it easy to think like a customer B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring C. his first boss’sales ideas reasonable D. it difficult to sell services to poor people 56. This passage most likely comes from . A. a millionaire’s story B. a popular sales book C. a novel on childhood D. a book on fishing guide 【答案】52. A 53. C 54. D 55. B 56. B 【解析】 52.正确答案是：A. He could not catch a fish. 在文章中提到，作者九岁时和父亲去钓鱼，但他总是钓不到鱼，这让他很沮丧。因此，他生气的原因是他无法钓到鱼。选项A是正确答案。 53.正确答案是：C. To understand what he thinks. 在文章第一段中提到父亲告诉他：“如果你想钓到鱼，你必须像鱼一样思考。”这句话的意思是，要了解鱼的想法和行为习惯，才能更容易地钓到鱼。因此，父亲真正的意思是让作者了解鱼的想法，即C选项“了解他的想法”。 54.正确答案是：D. in shallow water under waterside trees 根据文章第二段中的描述，鱼对水温非常敏感，因此更喜欢温暖的水域。同时，鱼没有眼皮，太阳会伤害它们的眼睛，所以它们更喜欢在阴凉处游泳。因此，最有可能找到鱼的地方是在岸边树木下的浅水区，即D选项。 55.正确答案是：B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring 作者在文章中提到，他进入商界后逐渐意识到需要像顾客一样思考，这与他父亲教他钓鱼时要像鱼一样思考有相似之处。这表明他父亲的钓鱼建议对他有启发作用，因此B选项是正确答案。 56.正确答案是：B. a popular sales book 文章讲述了作者通过钓鱼的经历领悟到在商界中需要像顾客一样思考，因此可以推断出这篇文章很可能来自于一本流行的销售书籍，故选项B为正确答案。文章并没有涉及到百万富翁的故事、关于童年的小说或钓鱼指南书籍，故排除A、C、D三个选项。 （2019年·江苏对口单招） C Just a couple of hours ago, I was on the plane, ready to fly home from London.

But for some students, including Wang Ling, 21, in Sun Yet-sen University, this practice has caused headaches. "Members of the public come to our library more for sightseeing than reading." said Wang. "They sometimes even bring their kids along, and take photos as if it were a place of interest." Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times, Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China. However, this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public. They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior. Chen Jie, 18, a student in Tongji University, is one who would be against opening to the public. "I have been to a public library before. People were chatting loudly or speaking on cellphone so you can hardly read," Chen said. She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration has influenced her. "If too many strangers stay here, the whole library will be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly," she said. Will there be alternative(可替代的) ways to share those libraries? Some experts consider that university libraries can prevent the public from entering certain areas. "We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students," said Zhu Lina, the library director in Jinan University.

There may also be offers for investment deals, bank loans and special holidays. However, to many computer users, this use of spam to sell products has become a major problem as it makes computer communication more difficult. Many companies that want to send a great deal of advertising at the same time might use the services of a“ spammer”. A spammer is a person or company that uses computers to send out millions of copies of the same sales information. Spammers get people’s e-mail addresses from websites, news groups and“chat rooms”where people send messages to each other. Most spam is sent by companies that are trying to get you to buy their products. Some of these are honest companies that may offer good products or services for fair prices. These companies can offer their products for a cheaper price than you may find in a store. However, much of the spam on the Internet is sent by criminal（s 罪犯）who are trying to sell products that do not exist or offer services they will not provide at all. What they are only interested in is stealing your money. When you answer their spam you find you are expected to send them money and receive a gift. If you just follow what they ask you to do without any consideration, it is likely that you will be cheated and lose some money. 52.What does the word“spam”in the last sentence of the first paragraph probably refer to?

Have a look in your fridge， cupboard，and fruit bowl and check the origins (来源 ) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt. You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey，from “field to plate”，is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer 5s field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays，food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者). Why is this，and what are the effects of these long distances? Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn^ have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that fanners produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now because of modem technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want. Some countries have to import (进口） most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates(UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials. What’s wrong with “food miles”？ Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes，for example，are picked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food. 52.What is called “food miles” according to the passage? A. The origin of the food. B. The effect of long distances. C. The journey from field to plate. D. The disadvantages of imported food. 53.The word “available” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “ ▲ ” A. easy to get B. not busy C. willing to talk D. impossible to get 54.Some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their food because of A. long distances B. difficult climates C. fresh and tasty food D. modem technology 55.The writer uses the last paragraph mostly to encourage readers to ▲ . A. buy more local food B. increase international trade C. travel long distances D. use imported materials 56.This passage is mainly about ▲ . A. how local food travels from field to plate B. where different kinds of food come from C. how some countries import their food D. what “food miles” is and its effects 【答案】52. C 53. A 54. B 55. A 56. D 【解析】 52.正确答案是：C. The journey from field to plate. 在第一段中提到，食物从田间到餐桌的旅程被称为“食物里程”。因此，C选项“从田间到餐桌的旅程”是正确答案。 53.正确答案是：A. easy to get 在文章中提到"We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want."，意思是我们不必等到春天或夏天才能买到草莓或西红柿，如果我们想要的话，在冬天也可以轻松得到它们。因此，"available"在此处的意思是"容易得到的"，即A选项。 54.正确答案是：B. difficult climates 在第三段中提到，“一些国家不得不进口他们的大部分食物，这是因为他们拥有恶劣的气候。”例如，阿拉伯联合酋长国85%的食物来自其他国家。因此，答案为B，即这些国家因为恶劣的气候而不得不进口大部分食物。 55.正确答案是：A. buy more local food 最后一段中提到：“Local food has a better taste，and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.” 这句话明确鼓励读者购买更多的本地食品，因为它有更好的口感，同时也减少了全球污染。因此，作者用最后一段主要是为了鼓励读者购买更多的本地食品，选项A为正确答案。 56.正确答案是：D. what “food miles” is and its effects 文章主要介绍了“食物里程”的概念和它的影响，因此文章的主要内容是关于“食物里程”的。所以，选项D“what ‘food miles’ is and its effects”最符合文章的主旨。 （2015年·江苏对口单招） C How long you live has a lot to do with your environment and lifestyle, but exceptional long life may have even more to do with your genes. For the first time, researchers have discovered a genetic recipe(墓因谱) that can tell who may live to 100 and beyond. Detailed examination shows that 90% of the people who lived to 100 had at least one of the signature genetic clusters（标志基因组）． Dr. Thomas Perls at the School of Medicine of Boston University said, "We realize that this is a complex genetic puzzle. There is a long way for us to go to understand how the combination of these genes with lifestyle factors is playing a role in this long life puzzle." Perls has studied many factors that help people to live long, and he is the first to recognize that living longer isn't likely to be simply a matter of genes. His previous work has shown, for example, that among mostly elderly people who live into their 70s and 80s, about 70% can owe their long life to lifestyle factors such as not smoking; eating a healthy, low-fat, low-calorie diet; and remaining socially engaged and mentally active (恩维活跃) throughout life. It seems clear that those who live extremely long are benefiting from a special DNA. In fact, Perls believes that the older a person gets, the more likely it is that his or her genes are contributing to those extended years. 52. Perls may most likely agree that ▲ A. living longer just depends on certain genetic recipes B. the combination of certain genes with lifestyle factors plays an important role in long-living C. most people living extremely long benefit from not smoking D. being mentally active has nothing to do with living an old age 53. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Remaining socially engaged helps a person to live long. B. If you want to live to 100, you must have the right genes. C. A genetic recipe can predict who may live to 100 and beyond. D. Perls is the first to think living longer is just a matter of genes. 54. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. The Secret of Long life B. Diet and Smoking C. Genes Decide Your Lifestyle D. Environment and Resources 55. Perls believes that ▲ . A. they have understood how certain genes with lifestyle factors are playing a role in a long life B. there is a long way for them to get to understand what leads to a long life C. they are close to the factors why people can live a long life D. they fail to understand what makes a long life possible 56. In which part of a newspaper can you most probably find this passage? A. Sports and Games B.Entertainment and Economics C. Medicine and Science D. Culture and Custom 【答案】52. B 53. D 54. A 55. B 56. C 【解析】 52.正确答案是：B. the combination of certain genes with lifestyle factors plays an important role in long-living 在文章第二段中，Perls提到“我们意识到这是一个复杂的遗传难题。我们还需要走很长的路来理解这些基因与生活方式因素的结合是如何在这个长寿难题中起作用的。”这表明Perls认为基因和生活方式因素的结合在长寿中起着重要作用。因此，选项B是正确的。 53.正确答案是：D. Perls is the first to think living longer is just a matter of genes. 在文章第三段中提到，Perls是第一个认识到长寿不仅仅是一个基因问题的人，因此D选项“Perls是第一个认为长寿只是基因问题的人”是不正确的。A选项“保持社交活动有助于长寿”在第三段中提到；B选项“如果你想活到100岁，你必须拥有正确的基因”在第一段中提到；C选项“一个基因谱可以预测谁可能活到100岁以上”在第一段中提到。 54.正确答案是：A. The Secret of Long life 文章主要讲述了长寿的秘密，包括基因和生活方式在长寿中的作用。因此，最好的标题应该是“The Secret of Long life”（长寿的秘密）。 55.正确答案是：B. there is a long way for them to get to understand what leads to a long life 在文章第二段中，Perls提到“我们意识到这是一个复杂的遗传难题。我们还需要走很长的路来理解这些基因与生活方式因素的结合是如何在这个长寿难题中起作用的。”这表明Perls认为他们还需要很长时间来理解导致长寿的因素，因此选项B是正确的。 56.正确答案是：C. Medicine and Science 文章主要讲述了关于长寿的研究和发现，涉及到基因和生活方式等因素，因此最有可能在报纸的“医学和科学”部分找到这篇文章。 （2014年·江苏对口单招） C It's 7：45 in the morning，and 26-year-old Steve Clarkson is going to work．He puts on his jacket，and picks up his mobile phone and laptop．As he leaves the house，he turns on his MP3 player and puts on his headphone．He is ready to go． Today, for millions of people，gadgets like Clarkson’s are a normal part of life．“I'm a reporter for a magazine，and I'm usually not in the office．My mobile phone and laptop help me to do my work both on the road and at home，” says Clarkson．Today many people can check e-mails, send messages, or surf the web，using their mobile phones． Tina Fang is studying photography in New York City．“Some of these gadgets are expensive，but they can save your money in the long run．I have a digital camera．I can use it to take eighty pictures and shoot videos at the same time．I listen to music on my MP3 player, and I can download and read books on it，too．I use the camera and MP3 for both learning and fun．” It’s now 9：45．Steve Clarkson gets an e-mail from his 17-year-old sister．She has a gadget that lets her send e-mails，play games，and take notes．She is in class right now．“I e-mailed her back．I told her to stop playing，and pay attention，” laughs Clarkson．“These gadgets are fun，but sometimes they can distract people，too．” 52．What does Steve do when he leaves his house?

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such a familiar monologue as: “Get up, John. You’ll be late for work again.” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours. 52. What’s the relationship between the cycles of your energy and your body temperature? A. You feel hot when you have a high fever. B. You feel hot when you are doing physical exercise. C. The more energetic you are, the higher your temperature is. D. The less energetic you are, the higher your temperature is. 53. Which of the following statements is true about the energy cycle? A. Few people have a daily energy cycle. B. Some people don’t have an energy cycle. C. Different people have different energy cycles. D People have never heard of this term. 54. What will happen if family members have no idea of each other’s energy cycle? A. They may have conflicts. B. They may cooperate well. C. They may live a harmonious life. D. They may understand each other. 55. According to Dr. Kleitman, how can people work energetically at their low point? A. Keep to their habitual lifestyle. B. Change their habitual daily routine. C. Insist on staying up late as usual. D. Organize their activities as regularly as usual. 56. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. How to do routine work. B. How to avoid troublesome problems. C. How to save tasks for sharper hours. D. How to save energy for later use. （2023年·江苏对口单招） C Fake news is everywhere — you see it on your social media, and even on forwarded messages in your phone’s group chats. Being able to spot fake news is an important aspect of life in the digital age. Here’s a simple guide on how to spot fake news. Check the website and quality of the articles. Look at where the story comes from and read other articles on the site. Are they well written with proper citation (引用), or are they full of grammatical errors? You should also make sure that you are on a legal news website. Some fake sites use addresses similar to those of real news organizations. For example, a website that ends with .com might be real, while the one with .co is not. Moreover, remember to ask yourself, “Is it the whole truth?” Sometimes a fake news story can have some truth to it, but most of the facts and figures are made up. For example, the event and the people mentioned are real, but the quotes attributed to them and other facts are simply made up. Search for the same story on other credible websites to avoid being misled (误导). There are other steps you can take to check the information you receive. You can do a reverse image search. Upload a photo to some image search engines to see where else it has been used and for what purpose. That will help you find out if a photograph is being falsely presented. You can also do some independent search. Check the questionable piece of news against other news sources or fact-checking websites, which will help expose fake news and rumors. 52. The first paragraph of the passage is to ________. A. illustrate the importance of social media B. explain the bad effects of fake news on social media C. introduce fake news as the topic of this passage D. show the author’s attitude towards online fake news 53. Which of the following is probably a reason for the fast spread of fake news? A. The wide use of social media. B. The rapid development of education. C. The increasing number of newspaper readers. D The great influence of news organizations in the digital age. 54. How can people avoid being cheated by fake news? A. Browsing websites ending with .co. B. Believing the forwarded messages without doubt. C. Taking the received information as definitely true. D. Checking the received information on credible websites. 55. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To exemplify what fake news is. B. To tell people how to identify fake news. C. To explain why there is so much fake news. D. To call on people to fight against fake news. 56. What does the underlined word “rumors” in the last paragraph mean? A. Untrue stories. B. Funny stories. C. Private stories. D. Secret stories.

If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder’s location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory”(交互记忆). According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memory as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memory, that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access(获得) it at a later date. This does not mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 52. The passage begins with two questions to ▲ . A. introduce the main topic B. show the author’s attitude C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information 53. Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments in order to discover ▲ . A. if the Internet is changing memory B. how the Internet is changing memory C. what the Internet is changing D. why the Internet is changing memory 54. What can we learn about the first experiment? A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well. C. The first group did not try to remember the information. D. The second group did not understand the information. 55. In transactive memory, people ▲ . A. keep the information in mind B. change the quality of information C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information 56. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research? A. We are using memory differently. B. We are becoming more intelligent. C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information. （2021年·江苏对口单招） C In India, one of the most significant festivals is Diwali, which falls between October and November. It's a five-day celebration that includes good food, fireworks, colored sand, special candles and lamps. In honor of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, people make special prayers on the first day to obtain blessings for welfare, success, and well-being. People welcome the goddess into their homes by decorating entrances with colourful lanterns and traditional designs. In addition, many people treat themselves to fine jewelry, praying for good fortune. Those who cannot afford so much, seek out cheap items such as clothes or household goods. The second day of the festival is called Kali Chaudas. For some, the day provides an opportunity to get rid of bad luck from homes and businesses. They decorate their homes with clay lamps and create design patterns called Rangoli on the floor using colored powder or sand. The third day is when the biggest celebrations occur, which begin early in the morning with a visit to a temple to seek the blessing of the goddess. As the sun sets, people light up their homes with small lamps and enjoy delicious traditional foods with their loved ones. The fourth day of the festival is celebrated in many different ways. Friends and relatives visit with gifts, sweets and best wishes for the season. And the final day of the festival is called Bhai Dooj. It honors the close bond between brothers and sisters and is observed with traditional ceremonies and more delicious food. For children in India, Diwali is similar to Christmas. They get an entire week off from school and are treated to gifts, new clothes, amazing food, and, in the past at least, a large number of fireworks. It is no wonder that the festival ranks high among the country's favorite celebrations. 52. From the beginning of this passage, we know ________. A. the celebration of Diwali lasts a week B.

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, If you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!”I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does? As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local club and started attending the monthly meeting. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids and the sun hurts their eyes... The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them. When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad had never said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters. 52. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine? A. He could not catch a fish. B. His father was not patient with him. C. His father did not teach him fishing. D. He could not influence his father. 53. What did the author’s father really mean? A. To read about fish. B. To learn fishing by oneself. C. To understand what he thinks. D. To study fishing in books. 54. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found .

But for some students, including Wang Ling, 21, in Sun Yet-sen University, this practice has caused headaches. "Members of the public come to our library more for sightseeing than reading." said Wang. "They sometimes even bring their kids along, and take photos as if it were a place of interest." Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times, Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China. However, this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public. They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior. Chen Jie, 18, a student in Tongji University, is one who would be against opening to the public. "I have been to a public library before. People were chatting loudly or speaking on cellphone so you can hardly read," Chen said. She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration has influenced her. "If too many strangers stay here, the whole library will be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly," she said. Will there be alternative(可替代的) ways to share those libraries? Some experts consider that university libraries can prevent the public from entering certain areas. "We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students," said Zhu Lina, the library director in Jinan University. Working together with the community library is another solution. "It's possible that a member of the public can order a book in our library over the Internet," Ge Jianxiong, the library director in Fudan University said. "We'll send it to a public library close to their home." 52. We can see from the passage that WangLing _ ▲ . A. hates to study in the library B. prefers sightseeing to reading C. is a university student aged 21 D. feels good to play with kids 53.

There may also be offers for investment deals, bank loans and special holidays. However, to many computer users, this use of spam to sell products has become a major problem as it makes computer communication more difficult. Many companies that want to send a great deal of advertising at the same time might use the services of a“ spammer”. A spammer is a person or company that uses computers to send out millions of copies of the same sales information. Spammers get people’s e-mail addresses from websites, news groups and“chat rooms”where people send messages to each other. Most spam is sent by companies that are trying to get you to buy their products. Some of these are honest companies that may offer good products or services for fair prices. These companies can offer their products for a cheaper price than you may find in a store. However, much of the spam on the Internet is sent by criminal（s 罪犯）who are trying to sell products that do not exist or offer services they will not provide at all.

Have a look in your fridge， cupboard，and fruit bowl and check the origins (来源 ) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt. You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey，from “field to plate”，is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer 5s field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays，food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者). Why is this，and what are the effects of these long distances? Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn^ have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that fanners produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now because of modem technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want. Some countries have to import (进口） most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates(UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials. What’s wrong with “food miles”？ Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes，for example，are picked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food. 52.What is called “food miles” according to the passage? A. The origin of the food. B. The effect of long distances. C. The journey from field to plate. D. The disadvantages of imported food. 53.The word “available” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “ ▲ ” A. easy to get B. not busy C. willing to talk D. impossible to get 54.Some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their food because of A. long distances B. difficult climates C. fresh and tasty food D. modem technology 55.The writer uses the last paragraph mostly to encourage readers to ▲ .

For the first time, researchers have discovered a genetic recipe(墓因谱) that can tell who may live to 100 and beyond. Detailed examination shows that 90% of the people who lived to 100 had at least one of the signature genetic clusters（标志基因组）． Dr. Thomas Perls at the School of Medicine of Boston University said, "We realize that this is a complex genetic puzzle. There is a long way for us to go to understand how the combination of these genes with lifestyle factors is playing a role in this long life puzzle." Perls has studied many factors that help people to live long, and he is the first to recognize that living longer isn't likely to be simply a matter of genes. His previous work has shown, for example, that among mostly elderly people who live into their 70s and 80s, about 70% can owe their long life to lifestyle factors such as not smoking; eating a healthy, low-fat, low-calorie diet; and remaining socially engaged and mentally active (恩维活跃) throughout life. It seems clear that those who live extremely long are benefiting from a special DNA. In fact, Perls believes that the older a person gets, the more likely it is that his or her genes are contributing to those extended years. 52. Perls may most likely agree that ▲ A. living longer just depends on certain genetic recipes B. the combination of certain genes with lifestyle factors plays an important role in long-living C. most people living extremely long benefit from not smoking D. being mentally active has nothing to do with living an old age 53. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Remaining socially engaged helps a person to live long. B. If you want to live to 100, you must have the right genes. C. A genetic recipe can predict who may live to 100 and beyond. D. Perls is the first to think living longer is just a matter of genes. 54. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. The Secret of Long life B. Diet and Smoking C. Genes Decide Your Lifestyle D. Environment and Resources 55. Perls believes that ▲ . A. they have understood how certain genes with lifestyle factors are playing a role in a long life B. there is a long way for them to get to understand what leads to a long life C. they are close to the factors why people can live a long life D. they fail to understand what makes a long life possible 56.
