Section Ⅳ　“Developing ideas”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A When Maggie was a very young girl, she loved looking up at the stars in the sky, and she loved a British television stop-motion animation (定格动画) series about mousy-looking beings from another planet called The Clangers. It's debatable as to which inspired her dream of becoming a space scientist more, but one thing is for sure: The passion Maggie had for space sparked a career and helped her overcome her dyslexia (阅读障碍)． The now celebrated space scientist, mechanical engineer, and science communicator grew up bouncing from one area of the country to another, the child of two Nigerian immigrants who divorced when she was young. Diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of eight, Maggie faced enormous challenges in traditional learning environments. Dyslexia often made reading and writing difficult, and she was sometimes looked down upon by classmates. Despite these obstacles, her passion for science and space exploration shone through. Rather than focusing on the limitations dyslexia imposed, Maggie discovered its advantages: Her brain was good at visualization and problem-solving, enabling her to think creatively and approach challenges from unique perspectives. Her journey to success wasn't easy. After overcoming early academic struggles, she went on to earn degrees in physics and mechanical engineering. Today, she is well-known for her work in space science, including the development of satellites and instruments used to explore the universe. Her contributions to science are widely recognized, and she has become an inspiring role model for young people, particularly those facing learning difficulties. Her story is a powerful reminder that dyslexia is not a limitation but a different way of processing the world, one that can lead to extraordinary achievements. Maggie's life and career prove that facing what makes you different can turn challenges into strengths, inspiring others to see the potential in their own unique abilities. 语篇解读：本文是一篇人物传记。文章以Maggie的成长经历为主线，讲述了她如何从童年对太空的热爱出发，克服读写困难，最终成为一位杰出的太空科学家、机械工程师和科学传播者的故事。 1．What can we learn about Maggie from paragraph 1?

C．She faced significant difficulties in reading and writing due to dyslexia. D．Her parents quickly resolved her dyslexia-related issues after diagnosis. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of eight, Maggie faced enormous challenges ...by classmates.”可知，Maggie因阅读障碍症在阅读和写作上遭遇了巨大的困难。故选C。 3．What did Maggie's achievements in science mainly owe to? A．Her natural talent in physics and engineering. B．Her focus on traditional academic success paths. C．Her early support from family in choosing a career. D．Her determination to overcome early academic challenges. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Her journey to success wasn't easy ...in physics and mechanical engineering.”可知，她的科学成就主要归功于克服早期学业挑战的决心。故选D。 4．What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A．To highlight the importance of space exploration. B．To encourage people to face difficulties bravely. C．To discuss the disadvantages of dyslexia. D．To present a scientist's research. 解析：选B　写作意图题。根据最后一段并结合全文可知，文章通过讲述Maggie的故事，重点突出了她如何凭借对太空的热情和决心，克服读写困难带来的挑战，最终成为知名太空科学家的经历，以此鼓励人们勇敢面对困难，将挑战转化为前进的动力。故选B。 B A team at a US university trained an AI tool to examine 60,000 fingerprints to see if it could work out which ones belonged to the same individual.The researchers claim the technology could identify, with 75%－90% accuracy, whether prints from different fingers came from one person. But they are not sure how it works.“We don't know for sure how the AI does it，” admitted Prof Hod Lipson, a roboticist at Columbia University who led the study. Graham Williams, professor of forensic science (法医学) at Hull University, said the idea of unique fingerprints had never been set in stone.“We don't actually know that fingerprints are unique，” he said.“All we can say is that as far as we are aware, no two people have yet to show the same fingerprints.” The results of Columbia University's study could have the potential to impact both biometrics and forensic science. If, for example, an unidentified thumb (拇指) print is found at crime scene A, and an unidentified index (食指) fingerprint at crime scene B, the two could not currently be forensically connected to the same person — but the AI tool could be able to identify this. The Columbia University study will be published in the journal Science Advances on Friday.But a pair of twins in Cheshire might be ahead of everyone.Their grandmother Carol told the BBC her two grandchildren can open each other's iPhones using their own fingers. “They showed me on Christmas day，” she said.“We were told they were identical_ when they were born but I can tell the difference between them as they've got older.” She claimed that her grandchildren can also bypass the handsets' facial recognition feature. Fingerprints are formed before birth.Research published last year suggested the genetic process behind them may be similar to the way animals like zebras and leopards get their markings. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。描述了一项关于人工智能识别指纹的科学研究，并探讨了该技术的潜在应用和影响。 5．According to the research, what can AI tools do? A．Identify people's fingerprints. B．Contribute to crime prevention. C．Help lead scientific studies and experiments. D．Train people to tell the difference of fingerprints. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，人工智能工具可以识别人们的指纹。故选A。 6．What does the underlined word “identical” in paragraph 7 mean? A．Unique.　 B．Healthy. C．The same.　 D．Cute. 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据后文“but I can tell the difference between them as they've got older”可知，之后祖母能分辨出区别，也就是说，在他们刚出生的时候，长得一样，以至于当时不能区别，所以推知identical意为“一样”，和C项意思相近。故选C。 7．What can we learn from the research? A．All twins share the same fingerprints. B．People's fingerprints may not be unique. C．AI will replace humans in every way. D．Fingerprints will change as people grow older. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三段可知，研究表明独一无二的指纹从来都不是一成不变的，实际上我们并不知道指纹是独一无二的，因此人们的指纹可能不是唯一的。故选B。 8．Why does the author mention zebras and leopards in the last paragraph? A．To make an appeal to people to protect animals. B．To tell the difference between people and animals. C．To explain the formation principle of fingerprints. D．To show the similarity of genes between animals and people. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者提到斑马和豹子是为了解释指纹的形成原理。故选C。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 In today's world, technology is a part of daily life.In order to keep civilization hand in hand with technological advances, and to understand the connected future they will have, children in schools have to be taught technical skills.But how can teachers integrate (使……融入) technology into their classrooms?
