(九)思辨性语篇题专练
A
(2025·太原高三年级模拟考试)If you’re digitally skilled,it has likely been a while since you spent much time writing by hand.The laborious process of tracing out our thoughts,letter by letter,on the page is becoming a thing of the past in our screen-dominated world,where text messages and thumb-typed grocery lists have replaced handwritten letters and sticky notes.To keep up,many schools are introducing computers as early as preschool,meaning some kids may learn the basics of typing before writing by hand.Although electronic keyboards offer obvious efficiency benefits,giving up handwriting may come at a significant cost.
Typing pays no attention to the form of the letters—only involving relatively simple and uniform movements.By contrast,handwriting is a complex task.The motor system has to delicately adjust the pressure that each finger applies on the pen to recreate each letter.Adding to the complexity,your visual system must continuously process that letter as it’s formed,with your brain making adjustments to fingers in real time to create the letters’ shapes.“This process lets you make your body and what you are seeing mesh,” says Robert Wiley,a cognitive psychologist at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro,adding “such complexity is crucial to mental development.”
Screens and keyboards replacing pen and paper might affect kids’ ability to learn letters,which is actually an important predictor of later reading and math attainments.If young children are not receiving any handwriting training,their brains simply won’t reach their full potential.For adults,typing often results in failing to actually process information.During a lecture,it’s possible to type what they’re hearing word for word.But often,they’re just typing blindly,failing to make information their own.On the other hand,taking notes by hand forces them to write only key words and use drawings or arrows to work through ideas.
Actually,we don’t have to drop digital tools,like graphics tablets and smart pens,to capitalize on the power of handwriting.Recent research suggests that writing on a screen activates the same brain pathways as writing on paper.It’s the movement that counts,not its final form.
[语篇解读]本文是议论文。在屏幕主导的世界里,手写逐渐被打字取代。本文对比了打字和手写的不同,指出放弃手写可能会付出很大代价,如影响孩子的心理发展、学习字母的能力以及成年人对信息的处理。
1.What does the author intend to convey in Paragraph 1?
A.Abandoning handwriting is unwise.
B.Digital literacy is essential nowadays.
C.Handwritten communication is out of date.
D.Computer courses are urgently needed in preschools.
A [细节理解题。第一段先描述了在屏幕主导的世界里,手写逐渐被打字取代,很多学校在幼儿园时期就引入了计算机,一些孩子可能先学打字后学手写的现象,接着指出“Although electronic keyboards offer obvious efficiency benefits,giving up handwriting may come at a significant cost”,即尽管电子键盘具有明显的效率优势,但放弃手写可能会付出巨大的代价。由此可知,作者在第一段想要表达放弃手写是不明智的,故选A。]
2.What does the underlined word “mesh”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Set up. B.Run fast.
C.Mess up. D.Work together.
D [词句猜测题。画线词所在句前讲手写是一项复杂的任务,运动神经系统必须精细地调整每个手指在笔上施加的压力,以重现每个字母;更复杂的是,你的视觉系统必须在字母形成的过程中不断地处理它,同时你的大脑要实时地对手指进行调整,以形成字母的形状。由此可知,此处强调在手写的过程中,你的身体和你所看见的东西会相互协调,故画线词与D项的意思最为接近。]
3.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3 ?
A.Blind typing contributes to brain development.
B.Kids have a preference for screens and keyboards.
C.Handwritten markers are good for getting ideas linked.
D.Adults have the ability to memorize complex information.
C [推理判断题。根据第三段的“On the other hand,taking notes by hand forces them to write only key words and use drawings or arrows to work through ideas”可知,手写笔记迫使人们只写关键词,使用图画或箭头来梳理想法,这说明手写标记有助于将想法联系起来,故选C。]
4.What is the author’s attitude towards using digital pens?
A.Doubtful. B.Critical.
C.Favorable. D.Unclear.
C [观点态度题。根据最后一段的内容可知,作者认为人们不必放弃数字工具来利用手写的力量,最近的研究表明在屏幕上书写会激活与在纸上书写相同的大脑神经通路,重要的是书写的动作,而不是最终形式。由此可推知,作者对使用数字笔书写持支持的态度,故选C。]

(2025·成都高中毕业班第二次诊断性检测)A quiet revolution is happening in autonomous systems,freeing us from the burdens of labor and giving us more control over our lives.A robotaxi can give you a smooth ride to wherever you need to go while a humanoid robot can handle chores at home.
Undoubtedly,instead of spending time driving,or folding laundry,we can engage in intellectual,artistic,and social pursuits that were previously unimaginable.We can learn new languages,develop new skills,or connect more deeply with loved ones.We are close to a future where the freedom to create and explore is no longer limited by the demands of daily life.
However,undeniable convenience as these autonomous systems offer,there’s something special about the tasks they aim to replace.Learning to drive,or even folding laundry is not just chores but the very fabric of our human experience.The first time you got behind the wheel of a car gave you a moment of growth and independence.Folding laundry can be a quiet,reflective moment—a reminder that life is made up of simple rhythms.
Here lies the contradiction:Autonomy isn’t just about freedom from work but control.As we hand over more control to machines,we are losing some of our own.
Take Full Self-Driving(FSD)system,for example.Despite the incredible convenience and safety it offers,we need to reflect on what we might be leaving behind as we move closer to this reality.For many,driving is more than just a means of getting from one destination to another—it’s an experience about freedom and control.The sensory connection to the road,and even the joy of mastering the art of driving are elements that technology might replace,but not necessarily reproduce.
True human autonomy is not just about handing over daily tasks to machines.It’s about the choice to engage in those tasks when we want to.The simple act of driving a car,or cleaning a home is more than just a function;it’s an expression of our humanity.Perhaps that’s the real challenge in front of us as autonomous systems become more integrated into our lives:how to use these machines to enhance our freedom without losing the very expression of our humanity.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自主系统带给人们无可否认的便利,但同时人们也因此可能会丧失一部分属于自己的控制权和人类体验。
5.What do autonomous systems probably enable us to get?
A.Greater abilities to handle chores.
B.Higher intellectual ambitions.
C.More opportunities to develop creativity.
D.A free future of living without limits.
C [推理判断题。第二段讲毫无疑问,不用花时间开车或者叠衣服,人们可以参加那些以前难以想象的知识性、艺术性和社交性的活动,人们可以学习新的语言、培养新的技能,或者与至爱的人建立更深厚的联系。由此可推知,因为有了自主系统,人们可以有时间投入到一些激发创造力的活动之中,故选C。]
6.What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A.The value of routine experiences.
B.The freedom through technology.
C.The reflections on personal growth.
D.The room for improving autonomous systems.
A [主旨大意题。第三段首句是段落主旨句,表明尽管这些自主系统带来了无可否认的便利,但它们试图取代的那些任务却有着独特的意义。接着以学习开车和折叠衣服为例,具体说明这些家务活是人类经历的重要组成部分。由此可知,本段主要关注日常经历的价值,故选A。]
7.Why does the author mention“FSD system”?
A.To demonstrate the joy of driving.
B.To argue against the freedom from work.
C.To give an example of technological convenience.
D.To stress the loss of control and human experience.
D [推理判断题。第五段以完全自动驾驶系统为例,说明尽管它带来了难以置信的便利和安全性,但人们需要反思在这个过程中可能会失去什么。接着作者具体说明对很多人来说,驾驶不仅是从一个地方到另一个地方的出行方式,它是一种关于自由和掌控的体验;与道路的感官联系,甚至是掌握驾驶技巧所带来的乐趣,这些都是技术可能会取代,但不一定能复制的元素。由此可知,作者提及完全自动驾驶系统是为了强调因自主系统而造成的控制权和人类体验的丧失,故选D。]
8.What message does the author mainly convey?
A.Technology serves as a helping hand.
B.Freedom isn’t what technology offers us.
C.The future of autonomous systems is in our hands.
D.There are conflicts between innovation and autonomy.
D [主旨大意题。通读全文可知,作者一方面承认了自主系统带来的便利,另一方面呼吁人们关注在这一过程中人们可能丧失的控制权和人类体验,最后作者强调真正的人类自主不仅仅是把日常任务交给机器,而是保留人们选择参与这些任务的权利,利用机器增强自由的同时又不失去人性的表达。故D项“创新和自主之间存在冲突”是作者主要想传递的信息。]

(2025·南昌高三模拟测试)Genres(体裁) are often viewed as structural frameworks for literary texts,onto which elements like imagery,characters,plot,and settings are layered.These frameworks are passed down through generations,evolving(演变) over time.
Among all genres,the novel received the most critical attention in the twentieth century,often praised as the “king of genres” due to its reflection on the real world.Yet,in the nineteenth century,it was primarily seen as a form of middle-class entertainment.It was not until the twentieth century that the novel was lifted to the status of an art form,joining in the same league as painting or classical music.Later on,many scholars successively studied the characteristics of novels from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Recently,in a book of Edwin Frank,Stranger Than Fiction,he raises an appealing question: Is there such a thing as a “twentieth-century novel”? Is it meaningful to distinguish the twentieth-century novel from its nineteenth-century predecessor—or even from the novel of the twenty-first century? Frank thinks so.In his book,he illustrates how the twentieth-century novel matures into a distinct literary genre.The twentieth century was a period of violent change; therefore,violent change is what the twentieth-century novel reflects—not,or not only,in its subject matter but in its form.Frank suggests that,modern as the twentieth-century novel is,it shows the cultural relevance to development of societies.
However,that relevance seems to have waned.Today,the novel no longer holds a central place in the cultural conversation.People’s daily question has shifted from “What are you reading?” to “What are you streaming?” Television series have emerged as the dominant form of middle-class entertainment in the twenty-first century.
Has prestige television reshaped the role of the novel? Many nineteenth-century novels gain vitality in the twentieth century through film adaptations.Henry James,for example,would likely be pleased to know that The Portrait of a Lady has been adapted into a miniseries,a feature film,and even a television version—each reaching a far larger audience than the original print edition could ever have hoped for.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。小说这一文学体裁因其对现实世界的反映在二十世纪备受关注,Edwin Frank在其书Stranger Than Fiction中探讨了二十世纪小说的演变和独特性。如今,小说在文化对话中不再占据中心地位,电影、电视等大众传播媒介为小说注入了新的活力。
9.Why did the novel gain recognition in the twentieth century?
A.It mirrored its link with reality.
B.It was written in amusing forms.
C.It displayed attractive characters.
D.It was authored by the middle class.
A [细节理解题。根据第二段的“Among all genres,the novel received the most critical attention in the twentieth century,often praised as the ‘king of genres’ due to its reflection on the real world”可知,在所有体裁中,小说在二十世纪受到了最重要的关注,因其对现实世界的反映而被誉为“体裁之王”。由此可知,小说在二十世纪获得认可的原因是它反映了与现实的联系,故选A。]
10.Which aspect of the twentieth-century novel does Stranger Than Fiction focus on?
A.Its rise and fall.
B.Its expansion and effect.
C.Its significance and limitation.
D.Its evolution and uniqueness.
D [推理判断题。根据题干中的Stranger Than Fiction将答案定位在第三段。根据该段的“In his book,he illustrates how the twentieth-century novel matures into a distinct literary genre”可知,在Stranger Than Fiction这本书中,Frank阐述了二十世纪小说如何发展为一种独特的文学体裁,即二十世纪小说的演变过程;再根据该段的“The twentieth century was a period of violent change...modern as the twentieth-century novel is,it shows the cultural relevance to development of societies”可知,二十世纪小说反映了二十世纪的剧烈变化,不仅反映在题材上,也反映在形式上,尽管二十世纪小说是现代的,但它显示了与社会发展的文化相关性,所以该书还关注了二十世纪小说的独特性。故选D。]
11.What does the underlined word “waned” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Varied. B.Weakened.
C.Peaked. D.Remained.
B [词句猜测题。画线词前的“that relevance”指代第三段尾句的“the cultural relevance to development of societies”,即小说与社会发展的文化相关性。根据第四段的“Today,the novel no longer holds a central place in the cultural conversation”“Television series have emerged as the dominant form of middle-class entertainment in the twenty-first century”可知,如今,小说在文化对话中不再占据中心位置,电视连续剧已成为二十一世纪中产阶级娱乐的主要形式。由此可推知,此处表示小说与社会发展的文化相关性似乎减弱了,故画线词与B项的意思最为接近。C项的peak在此作动词,意为“达到顶峰,达到最高水平”。]
12.What does the example of The Portrait of a Lady indicate?
A.Novels lose their artistic appeal.
B.Adaptations decrease novels’ status.
C.The media breathe new life into novels.
D.TV shows change the role of novels.
C [推理判断题。最后一段的“Many nineteenth-century novels gain vitality in the twentieth century through film adaptations”表明许多十九世纪的小说在二十世纪通过电影改编而焕发活力。接着作者以The Portrait of a Lady这本小说为例,说明它被改编成多种形式,且每一种形式都比原著更受观众欢迎,借此证明电影、电视等大众传播媒介为小说注入了新的活力,故选C。]
