外刊时文 阅读理解CD篇12-2025届高三英语上学期一轮复习专项

题型：高中阅读理解 来源：外刊读物 Passage 1 字数：313 关键词：动物真的能预测天灾吗 来源：The Guardian Scientists are exploring an innovative approach to forecast natural disasters and understand various phenomena related to animals. They are recruiting a diverse range of animals, including thousands of dogs, goats, and other farmyard animals, as well as numerous wildlife species. By fitting these animals with tiny transmitters, their movements will be closely monitored from a specialized satellite set to launch next year. The study aims to not only decipher how these animals respond to impending natural events such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes but also to gain deeper insights into animal migration, the spread of diseases among them, and the consequences of the climate crisis. For instance, in Sicily on the slopes of Mount Etna, the behavior of goats has been observed to potentially predict large volcanic eruptions. Sensors have detected that the goats become restless and avoid moving to their usual higher pastures before an eruption. Similarly, in the Abruzzo mountains near Rome, the reactions of dogs, sheep, and other farm animals have been noted to anticipate most of the major earthquakes in the region over the past decade. The reasons behind animals' strange behavior prior to disasters remain somewhat mysterious. However, it is hypothesized that during the build-up to an earthquake, tectonic plates' movement might release ions into the air, to which the animals could be reacting. This new research has been made possible by advancements in tagging technology, enabling the creation of lightweight and efficient transmitters. Moreover, this technology has other applications. Electronic ear tags attached to wild boar, equipped with small accelerometers, can detect if a boar has contracted African swine fever, a highly contagious virus, and monitor its spread. Additionally, transmitters on small creatures like death's-head hawkmoths could help unravel the secrets of their long migrations between Europe and Africa. Overall, this research holds great promise for understanding the natural world and protecting both wildlife and human interests. 题目： 1. What is the primary goal of the project described in the passage? （主旨归纳题 - 判断文章主旨大意） A. To develop advanced tagging technology for animals. B.

They utilize sensorial and virtual reality simulations, yet it's puzzling that haptic technology, which has shown great potential, isn't widely adopted in the gaming realm. Haptic feedback, involving the use of motion to mimic touch, has seen significant growth in the market, with a valuation of $2.75 billion in 2022. By integrating haptics into games, a more engaging and realistic experience can be achieved, as it extends beyond just sight and sound. Touch is fundamental to human life; it's the first sense to develop and remains crucial throughout our lives. Observing infants and toddlers reveals their natural inclination to explore the world through touch, suggesting its importance in creating a fulfilling gaming experience, especially for younger players. Research in the consumer field has also demonstrated the impact of touch. It can alter the perception of products and foster a psychological connection, making it a valuable asset in gaming. However, the choice of "tactile" input needs to be carefully considered, as different textures can influence how something is perceived. Some innovative haptic devices, like SenseGlove's wireless VR gloves, offer force and vibrotactile feedback, but many still fall short of replicating real-life touch. Haptic clothing, such as the sensory shirts used by Newcastle Football Club for fans with hearing impairments, shows the potential of this technology. These shirts convert crowd noise into touch data, allowing fans to "feel" the excitement. Despite the challenges, the importance of touch in eliciting emotional responses and enhancing the overall gaming experience cannot be overlooked. When combined effectively with other senses, it can boost working memory and improve gaming performance. 题目 1. What is the main idea of the passage? （主旨归纳题 - 判断文章主旨大意） A. To introduce the latest trends in video game development. B. To discuss the potential and current state of haptic technology in gaming. C.

The high-profile resignation of Carlos Tavares, the CEO of Stellantis, which manufactures popular car brands like Fiat, Vauxhall, Jeep, and Peugeot, is a clear indication of the challenges. Stellantis recently decided to close its Vauxhall van factory in Luton, partly due to the impact of electric vehicle sales targets set by the government. Ford also plans to cut 4,000 jobs across Europe, with 800 in Britain, citing slow growth in EV sales. For the Labour Party and the industry, which is crucial for the green transition, this is a critical time. The government has reinstated a 2030 deadline (previously pushed back to 2035 by Rishi Sunak) for banning the sale of pure internal combustion engines. However, car manufacturers are lobbying to relax the terms of the zero-emissions vehicles mandate (ZEV), which requires them to increase the proportion of EV sales. Meanwhile, some on the right are opposing the country's net zero obligations, seeing them as a threat to prosperity. In response, Labour needs to demonstrate leadership and determination. The government should support manufacturers not by allowing a slowdown but by implementing measures that boost market demand. For example, the House of Lords environment and climate change committee has proposed "targeted grants" to make EVs more affordable until their prices match those of petrol and diesel vehicles. Additionally, charging infrastructure needs to be expanded more quickly, especially outside major cities, and the VAT on public charge points should be reduced. A proactive approach from the government is essential for the interests of both manufacturers and consumers. Delaying the transition is not an option, as China is strengthening its hold on the EV market. Labour should provide a financial framework to encourage private buyers and develop a reliable infrastructure to instill confidence. With the right leadership, the green transition can lead to a strong industrial future. 1. What is the main reason for the current crisis in the automotive industry according to the text? （主旨归纳题 - 判断文章主旨大意） A. The high-profile resignations of CEOs. B. The slow transition to electric vehicles. C. The increasing competition from China. D. The lack of government support. 2. Which company plans to cut jobs in Europe and Britain due to EV sales? （细节理解题 - 直接信息题） A. Stellantis. B. Ford. C. Vauxhall. D. Fiat. 3. What does the House of Lords environment and climate change committee suggest to make EVs more affordable? （细节理解题 - 间接信息题） A. Reducing the production cost. B. Offering targeted grants. C. Lowering the VAT on all vehicles. D. Increasing the sales targets. 4. What can be inferred about the future of the British automotive industry? （推理判断题 - 预测判断题） A.
