By analysing this data, he identified mathematical laws that govern genetics. Alexander Fleming(1881-1955) While studying bacteria, Fleming observed that bread mold (霉) could kill bacteria harmful to human health. This led him to discover penicillin, the first effective antibiotic. Ernest Rutherford(1871-1937) During an experiment, Rutherford noted that energetic particles could pass easily through thin metal foil (箔). From this evidence he formulated a scientific law: the atom is mostly empty space. Famous Deducers(Theory> Experiment) Isaac Newton(1643-1727) Inspired by the motion of falling objects(but probably not an apple!) Newton proposed that all objects attract each other. Only later did he perform calculations to prove that his idea, “universal gravitation,” was true. Democritus(c. 460-370 B．C． ) Based on philosophical principles, Democritus argued that a material cannot be divided into smaller pieces forever; he called its smallest possible unit an “atom.” Democritus had no means to test his theory. But later experimenters proved atoms are real. Alfred Wegener(1880-1930) Noticing the interlockable shapes of the continents, Wegener made the bold proposal that Earth’s land masses began as a single, giant continent. Over many years, many disciplines including geology and fossilology would finally prove that his theory of “continental drift” is accurate. 1．Which of the following best define “Inducers” and “Deducers” according to the poster? A．Inducers are those who arrive at a conclusion based on theories. B．Inducers prefer to make experiments to prove some relative theories. C．Deducers usually do more experiments than develop theories. D．Deducers tend to arrive at a conclusion by reasoning or inference. 2．Which of the following is True according to the poster? A．Mendel recognised mathematical laws governing genetics by farming. B．Newton proposed the idea “universal gravitation” by observing the falling of apples. C．It was Fleming who made the discovery of the first effective antibiotic. D．Alfred Wegener created the theory of “continental drift” after he found rich evidence. 3．Where can this poster most probably be seen? A．In a university lecture. B．In a physics textbook. C．In a science magazine. D．In an advertisement. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。短文主要介绍了两种科学家的研究方法：归纳法（Inducers）和演绎法（Deducers），并举例说明了这两种方法的代表性科学家及其贡献。 1．推理判断题。根据表格右侧“Inspired by the motion of falling objects(but probably not an apple!)Newton proposed that all objects attract each other. ”（灵感来自于下落物体的运动(但可能不是苹果!)牛顿提出所有物体都相互吸引。）根据“Based on philosophical principles, Democritus argued that a material cannot be divided into smaller pieces forever; he called its smallest possible unit an “atom.” ”（基于哲学原理，德谟克利特认为物质不可能永远被分割成更小的碎片；他把它最小的可能单位称为“原子”）根据“Noticing the interlockable shapes of the continents, Wegener made the bold proposal that Earth’s land masses began as a single, giant continent.”（魏格纳注意到大陆的形状是相互联系的，他大胆地提出地球的陆地群最初是一个单一的巨大大陆。）可知，演绎法的科学家是通过推理或推断来得出结论。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据表格左侧Alexander Fleming(1881-1955)部分中“While studying bacteria, Fleming observed that bread mold (霉) could kill bacteria harmful to human health. This led him to discover penicillin, the first effective antibiotic.”（弗莱明在研究细菌时发现面包霉能杀死对人体有害的细菌。这使他发现了第一个有效的抗生素，青霉素。）可知，是弗莱明发现了第一个有效的抗生素。故选C。 3．推理判断题。短文主要介绍了两种科学家的研究方法：归纳法（Inducers）和演绎法（Deducers），并举例说明了这两种方法的代表性科学家及其贡献。所以短文来自科学杂志。故选C。 （23-24高二上·上海崇明·期末）Have you ever dreamed of having a fashionable watch of great value?

Our veins look blue because the tissue covering them changes the way light is absorbed and scattered, which affects our perception of their color. 2. Paul Revere shouted “The British are coming!” You can thank Henry Weds-worth Longfellow and his poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” for spreading that tale. No one knows what, if anything. Revere shouted through the streets of Lexington, Massachusetts, though we don know he told one guard that “the regulars are coming out.” 3. The hottest part of a chill pepper is the seeds Capsaicia, a chemical compound that binds to the pain receptors on our nerves to produce that very heat, is most concennrated in the inner white rib of the chili pepper. The seeds don’t actually contain any capsaicin, but they may be coated in it because they touch the rib. 4. Jesus Christ was born on December 25. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke never mention the date of Jesus’s birth. So why do we celebrate December 25 as the day that Christ was born? It could be because of a Roman Catholic historian from the third century, Sextus Julios Africanus, who believed Jesus was conceived on March 25 - nine months before what is now Christmas Day. 5. The Sahara is the world’s largest desert. Technically, Antarctica is. The U. S. Geological Survey defines a desert as “arid land with meager rainfall [usually less than ten inches per year] that supports only sparse vegetation and a limited population of people and animals.” Antarctica averages only six inches of rain a year (mostly as snow) and is almost 5.5 million square miles. The Sahara is only 3.3 million square miles. 6. Chameleorts can change their coloring to match any background. The lizards do adjust their skin tone to camouflage themselves in certain environments, but their color range is limited. The really vibrant hues you see on TV and in books aren’t usually meant for tricking predators. Those chameleons are trying to attract a mate or defend their territory. Male chameleons have even been known to change their colors to appear female, which helps them sneak by other males without the threat or fight. 1．It is _________ that essentially make(s) the pepper taste spicy. A．the concentration of capsaicin B．the coating of the seeds C．the pain receptors on our nerves D．the size of the inner rib 2．What can be inferred from the passage? A．The Sahara isn’t seen as the world’s largest desert because it receives less rain than Antarctica. B．Chameleons change their coloring to serve purposes other than fooling their enemies. C．Wads-worth witnessed Paul Revere shout “The British are coming” with his own eyes. D．The absorption of light by the tissue changes the blood inside our body from red into blue. 3．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A．Discoveries That Are Amazing B．Facts That Are Misleading C．Findings That Are Significant D．Myths That Are Unknown 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 【导语】本文是一片应用文。介绍了几个科普知识并纠正人们对这些科普的认知错误。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Capsaicia, a chemical compound that binds to the pain receptors on our nerves to produce that very heat, is most concennrated in the inner white rib of the chili pepper. The seeds don’t actually contain any capsaicin, but they may be coated in it because they touch the rib(辣椒是一种与我们神经上的疼痛感受器结合产生热量的化学化合物，它最集中在辣椒内部的凸条花纹。这些种子实际上不含辣椒素，但它们可能被包裹在里面，因为它们接触到了凸条花纹)”可知，使得辣椒很辣的是种子的包衣。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Those chameleons are trying to attract a mate or defend their territory. Male chameleons have even been known to change their colors to appear female, which helps them sneak by other males without the threat or fight.(这些变色龙正试图吸引配偶或保卫自己的领土。众所周知，雄性变色龙会改变颜色以呈现雌性，这有助于它们在没有威胁或战斗的情况下偷偷溜走。)”可知，变色龙变色不是为了与周围环境相匹配，而是有其它的企图。故选B项。 3．主旨大意题。分析每一段可知，提出一个事实后，在下面的段落中，都会对这一错误的事实进行分析，例如首段“Blood is blue inside your body. (血液在你的身体里是蓝色的。 )”，而下文中的“Human blood is the same color inside your body as it is outside: red.(人体血液在体内和身体外的颜色相同：红色。)”对上面的事实进行纠正；再比如最后一段首先列举一个事实“Chameleorts can change their coloring to match any background.(变色龙可以更改其颜色以匹配任何背景。)”，而下文中的“The lizards do adjust their skin tone to camouflage themselves in certain environments, but their color range is limited.(在某些环境中，蜥蜴确实会调整肤色以伪装自己，但它们的颜色范围有限。)”内容对这一事实进行纠正。故本文的主题为具有误导性的事实。故选B项。 （22-23高二上·上海·期末）THE SHAKESPEARE HOUSES The five Shakespeare Houses in and around Stratford-upon-Avon offer you an authentic experience of the Stratford world in which the famous dramatist was born, lived and died.

By analysing this data, he identified mathematical laws that govern genetics. Alexander Fleming(1881-1955) While studying bacteria, Fleming observed that bread mold (霉) could kill bacteria harmful to human health. This led him to discover penicillin, the first effective antibiotic. Ernest Rutherford(1871-1937) During an experiment, Rutherford noted that energetic particles could pass easily through thin metal foil (箔). From this evidence he formulated a scientific law: the atom is mostly empty space. Famous Deducers(Theory> Experiment) Isaac Newton(1643-1727) Inspired by the motion of falling objects(but probably not an apple!) Newton proposed that all objects attract each other. Only later did he perform calculations to prove that his idea, “universal gravitation,” was true. Democritus(c. 460-370 B．C． ) Based on philosophical principles, Democritus argued that a material cannot be divided into smaller pieces forever; he called its smallest possible unit an “atom.” Democritus had no means to test his theory. But later experimenters proved atoms are real. Alfred Wegener(1880-1930) Noticing the interlockable shapes of the continents, Wegener made the bold proposal that Earth’s land masses began as a single, giant continent. Over many years, many disciplines including geology and fossilology would finally prove that his theory of “continental drift” is accurate. 1．Which of the following best define “Inducers” and “Deducers” according to the poster? A．Inducers are those who arrive at a conclusion based on theories. B．Inducers prefer to make experiments to prove some relative theories. C．Deducers usually do more experiments than develop theories. D．Deducers tend to arrive at a conclusion by reasoning or inference. 2．Which of the following is True according to the poster? A．Mendel recognised mathematical laws governing genetics by farming. B．Newton proposed the idea “universal gravitation” by observing the falling of apples. C．It was Fleming who made the discovery of the first effective antibiotic. D．Alfred Wegener created the theory of “continental drift” after he found rich evidence. 3．Where can this poster most probably be seen? A．In a university lecture. B．In a physics textbook. C．In a science magazine. D．In an advertisement. （23-24高二上·上海崇明·期末）Have you ever dreamed of having a fashionable watch of great value?

Our veins look blue because the tissue covering them changes the way light is absorbed and scattered, which affects our perception of their color. 2. Paul Revere shouted “The British are coming!” You can thank Henry Weds-worth Longfellow and his poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” for spreading that tale. No one knows what, if anything. Revere shouted through the streets of Lexington, Massachusetts, though we don know he told one guard that “the regulars are coming out.” 3. The hottest part of a chill pepper is the seeds Capsaicia, a chemical compound that binds to the pain receptors on our nerves to produce that very heat, is most concennrated in the inner white rib of the chili pepper. The seeds don’t actually contain any capsaicin, but they may be coated in it because they touch the rib. 4. Jesus Christ was born on December 25. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke never mention the date of Jesus’s birth. So why do we celebrate December 25 as the day that Christ was born? It could be because of a Roman Catholic historian from the third century, Sextus Julios Africanus, who believed Jesus was conceived on March 25 - nine months before what is now Christmas Day. 5. The Sahara is the world’s largest desert. Technically, Antarctica is. The U. S. Geological Survey defines a desert as “arid land with meager rainfall [usually less than ten inches per year] that supports only sparse vegetation and a limited population of people and animals.” Antarctica averages only six inches of rain a year (mostly as snow) and is almost 5.5 million square miles. The Sahara is only 3.3 million square miles. 6. Chameleorts can change their coloring to match any background. The lizards do adjust their skin tone to camouflage themselves in certain environments, but their color range is limited. The really vibrant hues you see on TV and in books aren’t usually meant for tricking predators. Those chameleons are trying to attract a mate or defend their territory. Male chameleons have even been known to change their colors to appear female, which helps them sneak by other males without the threat or fight. 1．It is _________ that essentially make(s) the pepper taste spicy. A．the concentration of capsaicin B．the coating of the seeds C．the pain receptors on our nerves D．the size of the inner rib 2．What can be inferred from the passage? A．The Sahara isn’t seen as the world’s largest desert because it receives less rain than Antarctica. B．Chameleons change their coloring to serve purposes other than fooling their enemies. C．Wads-worth witnessed Paul Revere shout “The British are coming” with his own eyes. D．The absorption of light by the tissue changes the blood inside our body from red into blue. 3．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
