[培优2] 高考语篇培素养
◆真题文本
(2022·全国乙卷)Can a small group of drones(无人机)guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today's “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure(基础设施)worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine hightension electrical lines.They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points.The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and ontime performance will be improved.Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient(高效)across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety.It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure.That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing highervalue services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems.To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying overhead.Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future.They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously.
Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a copilot.With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fastmoving trains would be able to react in time.
◆真题再做
1.What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible?
A.The use of drones in checking on power lines.
B.Drone's ability to work at high altitudes.
B.Drones' ability to work at high altitudes.
C.The reduction of cost in designing drones.
D.Drones' reliable performance in remote areas.
2.What does “maintenance” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Personnel safety.
B.Assistance from drones.
C.Inspection and repair.
D.Construction of infrastructure.
3.What function is expected of the rail drones?

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应用今天的“空中之眼”技术,无人机能在保证铁路 安全可靠的同时又能保证铁路运输节约成本,无人机将改变铁路的未来。
1.A [细节理解题。根据第二段中“Drones are already being used...tracks and switching points.”可知,无人机现在已经用来检测高压电力线路,它们可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路以及铁路基础设施的其他重要方面。]
2.C [词义猜测题。根据后文“It is calculated that European...the rail infrastructure.”可知,maintenance指的是后文中的“inspect and repair the rail infrastructure”。]
3.A [细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Engineers are now working on...would be able to react in time.”可知,铁路无人机有望提前发出警报,使高速列车可以及时采取措施应对危险因素,避免事故发生。]
4.D [标题归纳题。根据第一段第一句“Can a small group of...save billions of euros each year?”和下文对无人机在铁路领域的应用的介绍以及对未来无人机的发展展望可知,在未来,无人机将会保证铁路的安全性和可靠性,或许会成为铁路安全的新未来。故D项最适合作为本文的标题。]

◆素养提升(阅读理解之猜测词义题解题方法之一)
依据上下文语境是猜测词义解题方法之一。是通过文章内容之间的解释关系推断词义:本文第2题:(1)本文中“maintenance”一词,与“costs savings”有关。再通过“sending maintenance staff”...“to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure”,即派maintenance 人员去“inspect and repair”铁路基础设施。
(2)根据逻辑关系可推maintenance 人员的任务是“inspect and repair... 故maintenance为inspection and repair”即:“维护,维修,检修”之意。就是对maintenance的解释。故选C。
◆[针对训练] (全国Ⅱ卷,B片段)
I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug_at_the_heartstrings . I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I'll do it.”
What does the underlined phrase“tug at the heartstrings” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Encourage teamwork.
B.Appeal to feelings.
C.Promote good deeds.
D.Provide advice.
解析:B [根据逻辑信号词“So”和关键词“persuading”可初步推断画线短语的意思与“说服”或“劝说”相关;再根据下文作者为打感情牌所列举的种种困难以及关键信息“Alright. Yes, I'll do it.”可推断出“我”成功地触动了对方的心弦。]
