unthinkingly bought way too much;I could have made six
salads with what I threw out.(但随着时间的推移,芝麻莱

麻莱的故事来表明我们有时会无意间浪费食物。故选B。]
2.B[细节理解题。根据第三段“Producing food that no one
eats wastes the water,fuel,and other resources used to
grow it.That makes food waste an environmental problem.

助手和名为“Miuu”的自动驾驶汽车的依恋程度。由此可
推知,参与者可能被要求响应一项调查,故选B。]
3.D[推断根据题千中的“is it difficult to create
genderless objects'”可将答案定位在第四段。第四段首句
说Martin的研究发现创造一个去性别化的物体是困难

酸钙的硬质水(hard water)煮沸可使微塑料含量降低近
90%,但将碳酸钙含量低于60毫克的样本煮沸仅使微塑
料含量降低了25%。因此,水的硬度是影响聚集微塑料
效果的关键因素。」
3.B[推断读题题目问“通过在第四段中提及瓶装水作
者想要说明什么?”。A项“塑料回收的重要性”;B项“微塑
料问题的严重性”:C项“滥用纯净水的危害”:D项“污水处
理的难度”。
解题根据第四段“Still,the findings show a potential path
forward..a task that's becoming increasingly difficult...
contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than
originally thought”可知,减少微塑料接触这项任务正变得
愈发艰巨,即使是瓶装水,其微塑料含量也比最初认为的
高出10至1000倍。因此,作者试图通过提到瓶装水来强
调微塑料问题的严重性。]
4.D[推断最后一段中提到“We should be looking into
upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove
microplastics”(我们应该考虑升级饮用水处理厂,使其能
够去除微塑料),这表明Gauchotte-Lindsay的建议与研究
结果的潜在应用有关。因此,答案为D。A项“新研究方
法的选择”:B项“未来研究的可能方向”:C项“更多研究者
参与的需要”;D项“研究结果的潜在应用”。]

问题并提出了提高数据质量的措施。
l.B[理解具体信息根据第一段的“Today,most records
of biodiversity are...videos,and other digital records"
知,现在,大多数生物多样性的记录通常以照片、视频和其
他的数字记录形式存在。故选B项。选项中的“electronic
form”是对原文中的“videos,and other digital records'”的同
义转换。
13
2.C[理解具体信息根据第二段的“and since we are
increasingly using observational data...Are they usable?"
可知,Dru及其团队使用观察数据来研究物种是如何对全
球变化作出回应的,他想知道这些观察数据是否可用。再
根据第三段的内容可知,Daru及其团队使用一个全球数据
集,测试这些数据在多大程度上展示了实际的全球生物多
样性模式。由此可知,Daru的研究关注观察数据。故选C
项。A项“濒危物种”;B项“实物标本”;C项“观察数据”;D
项“手机应用程序”。]
3.C[推断根据第四段的“We were particularly
interested..,,instead of the grass right next to it”可知,a研
究人员对探索可能导致数据偏差的采样的方方面面特别
感兴趣,比如公民科学家很有可能只拍开花植物而不拍它
旁边的青草。由此可知,采样方式的不当会导致数据偏
差,故选C项。A项“数据分析中的错误”;B项“上传的图
片质量差”;D项“数据收集设备不可靠”。]
4.D[理解具体信息根据第七段的“Biodiversity apps can
use...to have an expert confirm the identification of their
uploaded image”可知,生物多样性应用程序可以使用Daru
他们的研究结果来让用户知道哪些地区是采样过量的地
区,并且引导他们去对采样不是很好的地方或者物种进行
采样。为了改善观察数据的质量,生物多样性应用程序也
鼓励用户让专家确认他们上传的图片。结合第五段的“th
people who get..,citizen scientists”可知,这里的用户指代
的是公民科学家。故选D项。A项“检查特定区域的数
据”;B项“雇用专家去检查记录”;C项“确认用户身份”;D
项“给公民科学家一些指导”。]
Passage 4
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。对于历史事件的考证不
能仅凭文字记录,要注重文字记录和实物相互印证,以帮助
我们重现真实的历史。
1,A[题千问的是首段的主旨。根据文章首段可知,如果你
想讲述不偏袒人类历史上任何一方的一段世界历史,你就
不能仅依靠文字。文字是人类的后期成果之一,直到最近
甚至许多有文字的社会不仅用文字,还用实物来记载他们
的重要的事情。所以此段是说过去的历史事件应结合文
字和实物来呈现,不能仅靠文字,故A项正确。]
2.D[题千问的是作者提及库克船长的用意。根据第二段
"Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects...
but in many cases we simply can't(理想的情况是我们在研
究历史时应该将文字和实物结合起来…而很多情况下
我们没能这样做)”以及该段最后一句“If we want to
reconstruct what was actually going on that day,the shield
must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as
the written reports(如果我们想要还原那天到底发生了什
么,这块盾牌必须和文字记述一样经过深入而严格的质询
和诠释)”可知,库克船长的记录是片面的,故D项正确。]
3.B[题千问的是画线词conversation在文中的意思。根据
第三段中的“a history told through things gives them back
a voice(实物能还原历史事实)”和“all our first-hand
accounts are necessarily twisted,only one half of a
dialogue.If we are to find the other half of that
conversation,we have to read not just the texts,but the
objects(我们所有的第一手描述无法避免地会被歪曲,它只
是对话的一半。如果我们想找到另一半,就必不能只解读
文字,还要解读实物)”可知,conversation指的是历史,故B
项正确。门
4.C[题干问的是本文最有可能摘自哪本书。根据本篇答
案解析“段意梳理”部分可知,本文讲述的重点是强调历史
实物考证的重要性,故C项“《100件实物中的世界历史》”
正确。]

Campbell has more than two decades'professional
experience translating the heady into the understandable"
知,坎贝尔有二十多年的专业经验,她能将令人头晕的东
西转化为容易理解的东西。由此可见,画线的“In the
wrong hands'”指的应该是如果换一个能力不如坎贝尔的人
来写这本书,故C项正确。competent“足以胜任的,有能力
的,称职的”。A项“如果被受教育程度低的人阅读”;B项
“如果被怀有恶意的人评论”:C项“如果被不那么称职的人
来写”;D项“如果被不适合做学术的人来翻译”。]
2.B[推断根据第二段中的“She writes from the practical
angle of a business person...a guide which is highly
accessible and informative'”可知,她从一个商人的实际角度
来写作,使得这本书成为非常易懂且信息丰富的指南。由

Passage 2
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。本文通过介绍一个击败
以色列前国家辩论冠军的软件程序Project Debater以及它无
法理解意义的缺陷,说明了社会互动才是理解意义的关键
所在。
1,B[通读第一段内容可知,文章第一段提到以色列前国家
辩论冠军Noa Ovadia是为了说明Project Debater在辩论
方面比人类出色,故B项“为了展示Project Debater的聪
明”为正确选项。]
2.C[根据画线词的前一句“This can lead to the kinds of
errors no human would make”可知,wrinkles指代errors,
故C项正确。」
3.B[根据第二段段尾的“There's never a stage at which the
system knows what it's talking about'”以及第三段段首的
"What Hammond is referring to...the most intelligent of
machines”可知,根据Hammond的说法,Project Debater做
不到的是理解意义,故B项“理解意义”正确。]
13
4.A[最后一段聚焦“意义的产生”,指出意义是通过社会互
动生成的,而非计算。赋予意义的规则不仅存在于我们的
大脑中,而且也存在于外部,存在于社会中,存在于社会记
忆、社会习俗和社会关系中。这也将人类和机器区分开
来,无论Project Debater看起来多么令人震惊,从苏格拉底
和孔子开始的传统不会因为人工智能而结束。故A项“社
会互动是理解符号的关键”可通过最后一段得知。]
Passage 3

变了其原来的含义。情商的普及总体上利大于弊,同时作者
也希望未来对情感的研究可以更科学、更学术一些,希望科
技的进步能为此类研究提供新的视角。
l.D[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Many people now
misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything
desirable...‘people skills’.”可知,许多人错误地把情商看
作一个人身上几乎所有的优秀品质。]
2.B[写作意图题。根据第二段的内容可知,作者在这一段
首先陈述了一个观,点,即我们更喜欢将情商描述为一组既
可用于好的目的,也可用于坏的目的的特定技能,然后作
者通过医生和骗子的例子来阐释这个观,点。
3.A[观,点态度题。根据第三段中的“the overall effects of
the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful...has
helped both the public and researchers...in everyday life"
可知,作者对情商普及化的态度是支持的。]
4.B[段落大意题。根据最后一段的内容,尤其是“we
hope...study of emotion.It is our hope that...point us in
the right direction”可知,本段主要讲述了作者对未来有关
情商研究的希望和期待。]

语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与自然一人与动物
理解猫的生活习性
文章大意:本文介绍了猫的生活习性,它们的叫声特别,能与
人类交流,嗅觉敏锐,能识别主人,许多猫会将在外面找到的
物品带给主人表达爱意。
1.A[理解具体信息读题本题问“从第一段中可以学到
关于猫的喵喵叫的什么信息?”。A项“它是一种生存技
能”;B项“它是猫妈妈教的”;C项“它很难解释”;D项“随
着年龄的增长,叫声越来越大”。
解题根据第一段中的“They are able to have entire
conversations with humans using meows...a pet cat is
hungry,it will keep meowing to attract attention and find
food"“Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat..be fed”可
知,猫用喵喵叫和人对话。如果一只宠物猫饿了,它会不
停地喵喵叫以吸引注意力并找到食物。喵喵叫从小猫一
出生就开始了,小猫用它来吸引猫妈妈的注意并被喂食。
由此可知,喵喵叫是猫的生存技能。
2.C[推断根据第二段的“They use their noses to assess
their environment and look out for any signs of danger...
looking for familiar smells'”可知,猫用鼻子评估环境并留心
任何危险迹象。它们能够区分不同环境的另一种方法是
寻找熟悉的气味。由此可推断,猫通过检查气味来评估不
同的环境。故选C。」
3.D[理解词汇画线短语前提到狗以其令人印象深刻的
取物习惯而闻名,下文介绍了猫的行为,它们会将在外面
找到的物品带到主人身边以表达它们的爱意,故画线短语
所在部分表明猫将这种行为提升了一个档次,它们在取物
方面做得更好。D项可以解释画线短语含义。]
4.B[理解文章主旨要义阅读文章可知,第一段介绍了猫
的惊人的发声技能,第二段介绍了猫的嗅觉敏锐,能够区
分不同的环境,第三段介绍了猫的令人印象深刻的取物习
惯,这些都属于对猫的行为的介绍。B项“理解猫的行为”
概括了文章内容,适合作标题。]
考点九阅读理解(热点话题类)
题组一
Passage 1
语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与社会一社会现象
用食物边角料制作美味
文章大意:本文主要讲述了纽约的一家餐厅Blue Hill为了提
高人们对食物浪费的意识,通过将食材边角料加工成美味佳
肴,生动阐释了节约食物和物尽其用的可持续发展理念,为
解决可持续发展问题提供了一个参考。
1.A[推断根据题千中的“the author's early life”可以定
位到第一段中的“growing up in South Africa'”。根据第一
段中的“the phrase‘there are children starving in Africa’
was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a
prayer at dinner time”可知,作者在南非长大,在那里“非洲
有孩子在挨饿”这句话与其说是在晚餐时的祷告,不如说
是一种提醒,使人想起令人不安的事实。据此可以推断,
作者小时候亲眼见证过食物短缺。故A项正确。]
2.B[理解具体信息根据题千中的Blue Hill可以定位到
第三段。根据第三段中的“Each dish was tailor-made to
raise awareness regarding food waste”可知,Blue Hill进行
这项实验的目的是提高人们关于食物浪贵的意识,故B项
正确。]
3.C[理解段落主旨要义根据第五段中的“none of the
items on wastED's menu was technically made from
garbage”可知,wastED莱单上的东西不是由废料制作的;
再由下文中的“all the ingredients(配料)
used were examples of meat cuts...turned into excellent
cuisine”可知,使用的所有配料都是大多数餐厅决不会考虑
提供的肉块和农产品,这些食材经过重新利用并在一些优
秀厨师的帮助下被转化为美味佳肴。由此可知,本段主要
讲述的是wastED莱单上的莱肴是由什么制成的。故C
项能够概括段落大意。]
4.A[推断根据最后一段中的“Though wastED received
enthusiastic reviews,it was designed from the start as a
short-lived experiment;Blue Hill has since returned to its
regular menu'”可知,尽管wastED收到了热情的评论,但这
从一开始设计的就是一个短暂的实验,而Blue Hill在实验
结束后又回到了它的常规莱单。据此可以推断,wastED
按原定计别实施完毕。故A项正确。]
Passage 2
语篇类型:议论文主题语境:人与社会一科学与技术
—学习媒介的选择
文章大意:本文探讨了有纸化学习与无纸化学习的区别,并
提出用纸质书籍更容易让人投入、专心学,而电子书籍更容
易使人分心,故阅读印刷品比阅读电子书籍记得更多。
核心素养:本文通过强调不同的学习方式,引起人们对科技
改变生活的思考,促使学生对新生事物尤其是科技新时代产生
的新问题形成自己的观,点,从而促进学生思雏品质的提升。
l.D[理解词汇读题题千问“第二段中画线短语shine
through是什么意思”。A项“似乎不太可能长久”;B项“似
乎难以解释”;C项“准备好使用”;D项“变得容易被注意
到”。
解题本段第一句谈到当阅读几百字或更多字的文本时,
有纸化学习通常比在屏幕上学习更成功,接着谈到大量的
研究证实了这一发现。故画线短语所在部分应该是指从
提出简单的任务转向需要抽象思雏的任务时,这种有纸化
阅读的好处尤其明显,也就是说很容易被注意到,答案
为D。」
2.A[理解具体信息读题题干问“‘浅化假说'假定了什
么”。A项“读者轻率对待电子文本”;B项“电子文本更容
易理解”;C项“人们随机选择电子文本”;D项“电子文本适
用于社交媒体”。
解题根据题千中的shallowing hypothesis可以将答案定
位在第四段中。根据第四段中的“which are often not so
serious'”以及“devote less mental effort'”可知,在对待电子
文本的时候,读者通常不是很严肃,同时比阅读纸质文本时投
入的精力要少,即读者对电子文本不是很重视,答案为A。]
3.A「理解具体信息读题题干问“为什么音频和视频越
来越多地被大学教师使用”。A项“它们可以吸引学生的
注意力”;B项“它们准备起来更方便”:C项“它们帮助培养
先进技能”;D项“它们比文本提供更多信息”。
解题根据题干可将解题信息定位在第五段。本段第一
句谈到音频和视频比文字更吸引人,所以大学教师越来越
多地改用这些技术,故选A。」
4.C[推断最后一段首先谈到电子文本、音频和视频都具
有教育作用,特别是在提供纸质文本无法提供的资源时。
“However'”后提到为了最大限度地进行需要集中注意力和
反思的学习,教育者不应该假设所有媒体都是一样的,即
使它们包含相同的词汇。这与倒数第二段最后一句中的
信息意思一致:当成年人阅读新闻故事时,他们比听或看
相同的片段能记住更多内容,也就是说有纸化学习在教育
中是不能完全被取代的,答案为C。A项“学生们应该应用
多种学习技巧”;B项“教师应制作自己的教材”;C项“纸质
文本在教育中是不能完全被取代的”;D项“课堂外的教育
不容忽视”。]
Passage 3
【语篇解读】本文是一簫说明文。本文重点介绍了哲学著
作《苏格拉底快车》,该书语言幽默,陈述直白,却能让读者深
刻思考日常生活中的欲望、孤独等哲学问题。
l.C[根据第一段的“an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein
Gaarder's Sophie's World”和第一段尾句“It spoke to me
and brought me into a world of philosophy(哲学)”可知,
Jostein Gaarder的《苏菲的世界》把作者带进了一个哲学的
世界。故Jostein Gaarder为作者打开了哲学大门。]
2.D[通读第四段,特别是该段尾句“This,more than a
book about understanding philosophy,is a book about
learning to use philosophy to improve a life'”可知,在列举
了几位伟大的哲学家后,作者指出,这不仅仅是一本关于
理解哲学的书,更是一本关于学习如何运用哲学来改善生
活的书。据此可以推知,作者列举几位伟大的哲学家是为
了帮助读者更好地理解Weiner的这本书。]
3.B[根据最后一段的“The Socrates Express is a fun,
sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent
simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on
desire,loneliness,and aging”可知,《苏格拉底快车》是一
本有趣而尖锐的书,它因显而易见的简单而吸引读者,并
逐渐将他们带入对欲望、孤独和衰老的更深层次的思考。
结合常识可以推知,《苏格拉底快车》的思想可以用于日常
生活中,故B项正确。]
