increases and your room is already a bit warm,you will be too hot to sleep well.(通常情况下，人们会在睡前放松，并倾 向于放慢一切。当他们放松时，他们会深呼吸，增加氧气流 量，从而提高皮肤温度。这就是为什么我们在凉爽的环境中 睡得更好的关键原因之一。如果你的皮肤温度升高，而你的 房间已经有点热了，你就会热得睡不好觉。)”以及第四段 "The exact temperature is a personal matter.The key is that it's more toward cool than hot.Many consider 68 degrees an environment that's neither so cold we shiver nor so hot we sweat.But there's no scientific evidence for an exact,perfect sleeping temperature,(确切的温度是个人问题。关键是它更 倾向于冷而不是热。许多人认为68度的环境既不会冷到让 人发抖，也不会热到让人出汗。但是没有科学证据证明一个 精确的、完美的睡眠温度。)”阐述了睡觉放松时人们皮肤温 度会升高，凉爽的环境有助于提高睡眠质量；在文章最后一 "At the end of the day,sleep is absolutely crucial for so many reasons.It helps us repair and rejuvenate so we can fight infection,concentrate,regulate our moods,show up for ourselves and the people in our lives,and basically function as humans.We can't make up lost sleep,contrary to what many a night owl might think.So,it's really high time we should do all we can to foster the best sleep possible,starting with a cool room and relaxing bedtime routine.(归根结底，出于多种 原因，睡眠绝对至关重要。它帮助我们修复和恢复活力，这 样我们就可以对抗感染，集中注意力，调节我们的情绪，为自 己和我们生活中的人出现，并且基本上像人类一样发挥作 用。我们无法弥补失去的睡眠，这与许多夜猫子的想法相 反。所以，现在真的是时候了，我们应该尽我们所能来促进 最好的睡眠，从凉爽的房间和放松的就寝时间开始。)”作者 阐述良好睡眠的诸多益处，并且指出失去的睡眠是无法弥补 的；并对自己的观，点进行总结：从现在开始养成良好的习惯， 从凉爽的房间和放松的就袋习惯开始；由此可知，本文为总 分 一总结构，其中第二段阐述了养成良好的睡前让自 己放松的一些习惯并严格执行有助于提高睡眠质量：第三 四段阐述了凉爽的温度有助于提高睡眠质量；A选项符合文 章结构。故选A。 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了新的研究发 现富含水果和蔬莱的饮食，每天喝一杯酒，可以保护大脑免受 痴呆症的侵害。介绍了研究开展的过程以及Susan Mitchell博 士对此研究的看法， 3.C 推理判断题。根据第一段“A diet rich in fruit and vegetables and incorporating a daily glass of wine can protect the brain against dementia,a study suggests.Sticking closely to Mediterranean eating habits,which also include plenty of nuts,seafood,whole grains and olive oil,has been linked to a23 per cent lower risk of dementia.(一项研究表明，富含水 果和蔬菜的饮食，每天喝一杯酒，可以保护大脑免受痴呆症 的侵害。坚持地中海饮食习惯，包括大量的坚果、海鲜、全谷 物和橄榄油，可以将患痴呆症的风险降低23%)”可知第一段 引出文章关于新研究发现降低痴呆症风险的可能策略；第二 "Based on data gathered on 60,000 people via the UK Biobank,a medical database set up in 2006,the researchers scored participants'diets for how closely they matched the ideal Mediterranean diet on two scales.(根据2006年建立的 英国生物银行收集的6万人的数据，研究人员从两个方面对 参与者的饮食与理想地中海饮食的匹配程度进行了评分)” 总述研究开展的方式；第三段“Using one,those whose eating habits were the best match were 23 per cent less likely to develop dementia than those whose diets least fit the pattern (使用一种方法，饮食习惯最匹配的人患痴呆症的可能性比 饮食习惯最不匹配的人低23%)”以及第四段“The second scale used similar criteria and a close match on that was linked to a 14 per cent lower risk of dementia.(第二个量表使 用了类似的标准，与之接近的人患痴呆症的风险降低了 14%)”为第二段的分论，点，具体阐述研究过程；最后一段是 Susan Mitchell对此研究的看法。可推知，C选项最符合文 章结构。故选C。 考点9 【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章通过说明蜜息是怎样发 生的以及室息可能会危及生命，呼吁照顾孩子的人学习一些

知，这篇文章是写给父母看的。故选A。 高考预测练（十六）阅读理解之猜测词义 考点1 【语篇解读】本文是说明文，介绍了中国科研团队研发的一种 新型“视觉”麦克风技术，追溯了此类技术的历史渊源，阐述了 当前方案的工作原理、实验成果、潜在应用及现存挑战。 l.D推测词义题。根据第二段中的“the team has built a device that photographs the tiny...vibrations that sound waves generate on objects(该团队制造了一种设备，可以拍摄 声波在物体上产生的微小…振动)”可知，画线词与tiny并 列，共同修饰vibrations,描述声波在物体上产生的振动的特 征。由此可推知，这种振动非常微小，是人们难以察觉的，因 此imperceptible意为“难以察觉的”，和unnoticeable意义最 为接近。故选D。 2,A主旨要义题，考查段落主旨。通读第三段可知，该段先指 出这并非首次尝试制造利用光的麦克风，随后介绍了贝尔 1880年发明的光电话及其工作原理，接着说明在现代人们尝 试模仿光电话，但存在复杂、昂贵的问题。整段内容旨在交 代“视觉麦克风”这一研究领域的历史，为后文中国团队的新 方案作铺垫。因此本段的主要功能是提供研究背景。故 选A。 3.D细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Unlike ordinary cameras which rely on millions of sensors,single-pixel imaging uses just one”可知，两者的核心区别是传感器数量 一普通相机 依赖数百万个传感器，而单像素成像仅使用一个传感器。故 选D。 4.A推理判断题。根据最后一段，作者先客观指出当前技术 存在的问题（工作距离仅约半米、嘈杂环境下识别围难），随 后用But转折，强调如果成功了，人们或许不仅能聆听周围 的世界，还能目睹它“说话”。由此可推知，作者对该技术的 未来前景持积极、期待的态度。故选A。 考点2 l.D词义猜测题。根据“If you want to lose weight,the key is to develop a caloric deficit in which you burn calories more than what you're consuming.(如果你想减肥，关键是要养成 热量不足的习惯，在这种情况下，你燃烧的卡路里要多于你 摄入的卡路里)”以及划线处前“But eating high calorie fatty food regularly can make this a(但是经常吃高热量、高脂肪的 食物会使这种情况发生)”but表示转折，可知，经常吃高热量 高脂肪的食物会让减肥变得很困难。画线处和D项： Challenge(挑战)含义相近。故选D。 2.A词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句“Her class,which began as an elective class to give students exposure to skills that prepare them for college,has become the class on campus that creates winners.(她的课最初是一门选修课，旨 在让学生接触到为上大学做准备的技能，现在已经成为校园 里培养赢家的课程。)”和最后一段“‘I want them to just have the memory of making it through,succeeding in a place like that and expressing a story that leaves that place better'Anna sys.(安娜说：‘我希望他们能记住在这样的地方自己度过难 关，取得成功，并表达一个让那个地方变得更好的故事的记 忆。’)”由此可推断画线词that place指的是Anna上辩论课 的地方，Anne的课堂，故选A。 3.D词句猜测题。根据第二段中“1 enjoyed it,but once,I behaved differently and left home.（我很喜欢，但有一次，我 表现得不一样，离开了家)”，以及画线词的下文“my family tradition that summer(那年夏天我的家庭传统)”可推知，此 处指上文提到的作者在那年夏天没有遵循以往的家庭传统， 而是独自一人去旅行，revolt against意思应该是“反抗，不遵 循”，与disobey意思相近。故选D项。 4.D词句猜测题。根据画线词“was exercise”以及后文“The idea that health and exercise were linked wasn't the accepted fact that we know today',says Nick Wareham,a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University.Some even felt that too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health'. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young..(剑桥大学流行病学教 授Nick Wareham表示，健康和运动有关的观，点‘在当时并不 3 是我们今天所知道的公认事实’。一些人甚至认为‘过多的 体育活动对你的健康有害’。从事体育锻炼的矿工和农民也 会患上各种疾病，英年早逝)”可知，当时认为锻炼会对健康 有害，即锻炼没有引起研究人员的注意。故划线词意思是 “引起研究人员的注意”。故选D。 考点3 l,C词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“California is speeding up the launch of its robotaxi,(加利福尼亚州正在加快推出其自 动驾驶出租车。)”和“Last week,California officials voted to remove most restrictions for the two leading self-driving car companies,Waymo and Cruise,letting them charge for rides anywhere in the city24/7.(上周，加州官员投票决定取消对 Waymo和Cruise这两家领先的自动驾驶汽车公司的大部分 限制，允许他们在城市的任何地方全天候收费。)”可知，加利 福尼亚州加快推出自动驾驶出租车，解除了对自动驾驶汽车 的大部分限制，由此可推测出，this指代前文内容，在这里表 示自动驾驶出租车即将在加利福尼亚州全力前进。故选C。 2.A 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“CellOT is a groundbreaking approach that identifies the distinct reactions individual cells within a larger population can have to a drug. The average response of a cell population often does not capture the full complexity of how certain tumor cells survive or develop resistance to drugs.(celllot是一种突破性的方 法，可以识别更大群体中的单个细胞对药物的不同反应。细 胞群对于药物的平均反应通常不能反映某些肿瘤细胞如何 生存或产生耐药性的全部复杂性)”可知，“CellOT addresses this”指的是CellOT能解决前人解决不了的问题，即上文的 “找出组成群体的每个细胞对药物的不同反应”，也就是 “various responses of a cell population to drugs”。故选A。 3.B 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Elephants know unguarded roads are dangerous..(大象知道无人看守的道路 很危险。)”可知，大象知道无人看守的道路很危险，说明无守 卫道路是优先偷猎的地，点。故划线词指的是“无守卫的道 路”。故选B。 4.C词句猜测题。“That was part of the point'”这句话的意思 是“那正是（我们引入Al的）部分目的”。在行文中，that一 般代指其上文所说的事物或事情。结合上文“One of Fringe's big shows used a small robot to come up with jokes from audiences'suggestions,which were then performed by humans.The results could be very funny,but sometimes they weren't funny at all..(《边缘》的一个大型节目使用一个小型 机器人根据观众的建议想出笑话，然后由人类表演。结果可 能非常有趣，但有时它们一点也不有趣)”可知，机器人的笑 话有时并不好笑导致公司引入Al。由此可知，that指代“机 器人的笑话有时不好笑”。故选C。 5.B词句猜测题。that指代上文提到的事情，根据第四段中 "researched on the science behind how horror movies are in many ways ideal as a specific vehicle for meeting this need to be scared(研究了恐怖电影恐怖电影是满足恐惧需求的理想 载体背后的科学原理)”可知，That指代上文内容“this need to be scared(对害怕这一情绪的需求)”，故选B项。 考点4 l.D词句猜测题。根据前面三段讲述的Anthony Perry在火 车站英勇救助跌落在铁轨上的受害者，以及画线词的上文 "The evening news reported the incident.After a friend outed him to the media(晚间新闻报道了这一事件。在一个朋友向 媒体透露他之后)”可推知，观众在知道是Anthony Perry做 出这样英勇无私的举动后，应该会非常敬佩这位英雄。由此 推知，画线句意思应该是Perry成了芝加哥受欢迎和尊敬的 人。故选D项。 2.B词句猜测题。根据画线句的句意“But there's more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone down-and-out,(但是成品不仅仅是给那些穷困潦倒的人带来 的钱)”和其后边句子“He's discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting,finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped(（刻板印象).（他发 现，买家倾向于与画中人物的故事联系起来，找到他们可能 忽略或刻板印象中的人物的相似之处并和他们建立友谊)” 得知，画的价值不仅在于会给穷困潦倒的画的主人公带来 些财富，购买画的人往往会与画中的人物故事产生共鸣，甚 至与其成为朋友。这些画改变了买画人对待无家可归人们 30 的态度，肖像画或许会给买画人带来除了画以外更多的东 西。故选B。 3.B句意猜测题。根据第二段“My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book,while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf.Instead,I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades.(我的同学们会为最新的《哈利波特》而疯狂， 而我的那本却在书架上积满了灰尘。相反，我会选择阅读与 我的学科相关的参考书，以获得更好的成绩)”可知，作者儿 时对阅读小说不感兴趣，故划线句意思是“作者从小就对小 说缺乏热情”。故选B。 4.D词句猜测题。根据第三段第二、三句话“Chinese companies'direct investment in the country reached $8.23 billion in 2022,a year-on-year jump of 160 percent,reaching a record high and ranking as the second-largest source of foreign investment in Indonesia US investment bank Goldman Sachs also forecasted in a report that Indonesia will become the world's fourth-largest economy by 2050 To turn such rosy prospects into reality.(2022年，中国企业对印尼的直接 投资达到82.3亿美元，同比增长160%，创历史新高，成为印 尼第二大外国投资来源。美国投资银行高盛也在一份报告 中预测，到2050年，印尼将成为世界第四大经济体)”可知， 中国企业对印尼的投资已经成为第二大外国投资来源。而 且印尼即将成为世界第四大经济体，所以中国企业正争先恐 后地将产品、管理团队和营销策略更好地本地化，以及吸引 当地的消费者。所以划线的句子可用“提高其市场份颜并吸 引印尼消费者”来代替。故选D。 高考预测练（十七）阅读理解之应用文 【语篇解读】本文是应用文，主要介绍了国际语言学奥林匹克 竞赛(IOL)的性质、参赛要求、解题示例、规则及奖项设置等相 关信息。 l.B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“no special knowledge is required,only basic language concepts,logic,patience,and creative thinking(不需要特殊知识，只需要基本的语言概念 逻辑、耐心和创造性思雏)”以及样题的解题过程可知，解样 题的关键在于推理能力。故选B。 2.A细节理解题。根据Contest Rules部分的“The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours,whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less." 可知，个人赛是在6小时内解决5道题，而团队赛是解决1 道题，时间少2小时。因此，个人赛和团队赛的不同之处在 于比赛时长。故选A 3.C 细节理解题。根据Awards部分的“In the individual contest,the number of gold,silver,and bronze medals awarded shall be in the ratio 1 2 3,with the total number of medals being between one quarter and one third of the contestants..(在个人赛中，金牌、银牌和铜牌的颁发数量比例 为1：2：3，且奖牌总数在参赛人数的四分之一到三分之一 之间)”可知，若有240名个人参赛者，则奖牌总数应在240 的四分之一和三分之一之间。C项在60到80之间。故 选C。 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种曾经广 泛使用但现在被视为死亡的语言 一古诺尔斯语、中古英语、 匈牙利语和古希腊语。 4.A 细节理解题。根据Old Norse的“Old Norse was spoken and written by the Vikings from about the 7 th century. 堪的纳维亚语大约从7世纪开始由维京人使用。)”可知，维 京人说的语言是古斯堪的纳雏亚语。故选A。 5.B 细节理解题。根据Middle English的“Middle English gave way to modern English.(中世纪英语让位给现代英语。) ”可知，中古英语的消失是因为现代英语取代了中世纪英语。 故选B。 6.D细节理解题。根据Ancient Greek的“More than4,000 years ago,the Greeks spoke an advanced language known today as Ancient Greek,and developed the first alphabet. Indeed,the English word 'alphabet'is taken from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet:alpha and beta.(4000 前，希腊人说一种先进的语言，今天被称为古希腊语，并开发 了第一个字母表。事实上，英语单词‘alphabet'就是取自希 腊字母表的前两个单词alpha和beta。)”可知，单词Alphabet 来自古希腊语。故选D。 04班级： 高芳预测练（十六） 考点1阅读理解之猜测词义 (2026·广东广州一模，D)Sound travels as vibrations（振动)through the air.. Conventional microphones function by picking up these vibrations.Scientists wondered if they could make microphones that see those vibrations rather than hear them.Now researchers in China have built such a device. Led by physicist Yao Xuri from Beijing Institute of Technology,the team has built a device that photographs the tiny, imperceptible vibrations that sound waves generate on objects.According to Yao,"This technique enables sound detection using everyday items under natural lighting. This is hardly the first attempt to make a microphone that works with light.Alexander Graham Bell built one back in 1880.He called it a photophone.It operated by using sound waves to deform a mirror,causing reflected light to flash along with the sound.These flashes were then changed back into sound. Modern attempts have been trying to copy this,using high-speed cameras or precise lasers(激光)，but such systems are often complex and costly. The Chinese team has adopted an alternative approach:single-pixel(单像素) imaging."Unlike ordinary cameras which rely on millions of sensors,single-pixel imaging uses just one,"Yao noted.It scans a scene to collect visual data,which is then processed by computers to reconstruct an image.Through this technique,Yao's team detected how sound waves shook a paper card or leaf.A 姓名： 阅读理解之猜测词义 computer then decoded the data into audible sound. The device successfully captured spoken numbers in both Chinese and English and decoded an excerpt from Beethoven's Fiir Elise."This method creates a relatively small amount of data,making it easy to store or upload,"Yao noted.The team is refining the device's capacity to detect human heartbeat and heart rates,a development that could enable non-contact patient monitoring in medical settings. Currently,the technology only works from about half a meter away,and detecting sound in noisy environments remains a key challenge.That will take more advanced technology and extensive field testing.But if they succeed,we might not just listen to the world around us-we might watch it speak. l.The underlined word“imperceptible” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to A.inaudible B.inaccessible C.unpredictable D.unnoticeable 2.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Research background. B.Study design. C.Technical approaches. D.Key challenges. 3.How does the single-pixel imaging device differ from ordinary cameras? A.It works at a super high speed. B.It processes data with a computer. C.It uses precise lasers to scan scenes. D.It collects data with only one sensor. 11 高考 4.What is the author's attitude towards the future of the technology? A.Expectant. B.Doubtful. C.Concerned. D.Uncertain. 考点2阅读理解之猜测词义一一猜测短语 意思 A If you want to lose weight,the key is to develop a caloric deficit in which you burn calories more than what you're consuming. But eating high calorie fatty food regularly can make this a hard nut."You are overconsuming calories and will have to do more exercise than a person can sustain on a long-term basis,"Carriker said. l.Which is closest in meaning to“hard nut'” underlined in paragraph 3? A.Disorder. B.Target. C.Trend. D.Challenge. B Anna Steed doesn't look much older than her students,but she is a practitioner of behavioral and motivational science,a shoulder to cry on,and the high school debate coach.Her class,which began as an elective class to give students exposure to skills that prepare them for college,has become the class on campus that creates winners. Speech and debate test the teenage character perhaps more than any other activity.The shy and the unsure often have no desire to look up from their screens and engage in the oldest human interaction: persuasive oral arguments.It's dreadful territory for the average teenager.Research, writing,delivering a speech in front of your peers-it all sounds like the kind of class students would be most likely to skip.But Anna draws them in. Classroom 161 is always full.Anna's debate teams have a case full of medals;most importantly,they have gone on to become 预测练 leaders of their communities and examples to their families. "This activity has changed my life.Just building connections with people I never,ever imagined building connections with,"relates Alexander Hernandez Gonzalez.Alexander suffered from social anxiety throughout his childhood.Then he discovered debate as a freshman,and it changed his life. What drives young people to stand up and passionately deliver a speech in front of a crowd full of strangers,a panel of judges and opposing teams from more privileged high schools?The person who will always have their back:Anna Steed. "I want them to just have the memory of making it through,succeeding in a place like that and expressing a story that leaves that place better,"Anna says. That better place begins in room 161 when unsure and nervous students enter for the first time.After setbacksand adjustments,a lot of hugs,encouragement,and hours of late- night study and practice,they roll out a few years later with their shoulders back and a full tank of confidence,ready to take on the next stage of life. 2.What do the underlined words“that place” in paragraph 6 refer to? A.Anna's class. B.The privileged classroom C.Unfamiliar territory. D.The next stage of life. C Every summer,as a child,I spent with my parents the annual family holiday,flying away from our home in the West Midlands to their birthplace in Ireland. 12 班级： I enjoyed it,but once,I behaved differently and left home.Package tours and long-distance flights became my idea of a holiday.I then went and ran into an Englishman who also came of Irish stock,and we both felt the urge to renew our knowledge of Ireland. It was important for us to discover something different from our childhood visits. So that's how we came to drive along the winding St John's Point Peninsula(半岛)in Donegal,part of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way,to visit a unique part of the 20th-century history-the Donegal Corridor. When anyone drives to the point where the land runs out,he sees giant white stones fixed firmly in green grass spelling out “EIRE”and“7o”,while the Atlantic wind fiercely blows across the headland and the ice- white waves smash into the rocks below.The meaning behind the stones?They date back to the Second World War when St John's Point was number 70 in a total of 83 Look Out Points (LOPs),observation stations set up and maintained by Ireland all around its coast. There lies a bit of curious UK-Ireland history.Although Ireland was officially neutral during the war,the Battle of the Atlantic was being fought close to Irish shores,and these LOPs,staffed by local volunteers known as Coast watchers,passed on information on activities connected with the sea and weather fronts to London. At St John's Point,we were standing right under the Donegal Corridor,a long narrow area of airspace in which Ireland 21 姓名： ensured safe passage during World War II to planes in the RAF (Royal Air Force)from bases in the UK-governed North of Ireland. The stone markings acted as reference points to aircrews. Standing on this rough area of land surrounded by the wild and windy ocean brought home to us the conditions in which the Coast watchers and aircrews in the RAF cooperated in a shared history. I revolted against my family tradition that summer,and I fulfilled my aim of discovering something new and absorbed all Donegal has to offer:empty golden beaches, mysterious ancient stone circles,folk music and crafts,and tasty food.I had fallen in love with Ireland all over again. 3.The expression“revolted against”in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to A.worried about B.passed on C.celebrated D.disobeyed D In the late 1940s,doctors were worried. Britain,like many rich countries,was suffering from an“epidemic?”of heart disease and no one knew why.Various hypotheses,such as stress,were suggested;but one thing that was not exercising researchers was exercise. The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn't the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham,a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University.Some even felt that "too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health".Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young. 高考 4.What does the underlined part "exercising researchers"in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Encouraging researchers to work out. B.Helping with researchers'inquiry. C.Hold back researchers'progress. D.Drawing researchers'attention. 考点3阅读理解之猜测词义—猜测代词 词义 California is speeding up the launch of its robotaxi.Cars without drivers are already becoming a common sight on San Francisco's winding and foggy streets with a lot of hills. But they've been limited in their areas and time of operation,and in some cases have had human safety monitors on board.Last week, California officials voted to remove most restrictions for the two leading self-driving car companies,Waymo and Cruise,letting them charge for rides anywhere in the city 24/ 7.It's a critical moment for the industry, which has grown to more than 40 companies reaching millions of miles on public roads every year. If this is the future,it's still a tough nut in progress.One San Francisco driverless vehicle rolled into an active fire scene and prevented firefighters from carrying out their work.Others have stopped dead in the middle of traffic.There were 93 reported traffic incidents involving robotaxis in March alone. California regulators shouldn't be giving robotaxis a free pass.Driverless cars could make a difference to the city streets the way gas-powered automobiles did a century ago. The objection to driverless cars has been similar,too.In San Francisco,one activist 预测练 group has begun coning self-driving taxis- placing a simple orange cone(圆锥体)on the metal cover of the engine,which seems to “paralyze”an autonomous vehicle. l.What does“this”refer to in the second paragraph? A.Restrictions will be cancelled for the self-driving cars. B.Francisco'streets will be upgraded by California regulators. C.Robotaxis will be in full wings in California around the clock. D.Millions of miles on public roads will be monitored every year. B CellOT is a groundbreaking approach that identifies the distinct reactions individual cells within a larger population can have to a drug.The average response of a cell population often does not capture the full complexity of how certain tumor cells survive develop resistance to drugs.CellOT addresses this by predicting the effects of perturbations(扰动)on cells,paving the way for more effective and personalized cancer treatments. 2.The underlined word“this”in Paragraph3 refers to A.various responses of a cell population to drugs B.the average reaction of a cell population to drugs C.the resistance from a group of cancer cells to drugs D.the survival of a population of cancer cells to drugs 14 班级： C Roads also disturb elephant migration. Those outside national park boundaries are prior poaching（偷猎)spots.Elephants know unguarded roads are dangerous.During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa,only one female crossed an unprotected road.When she finally crossed,she moved 14 times faster than she did when crossing a protected road inside a park. 3.What does the underlined“those”in paragraph 3 refer to? A.Elephants. B.Unguarded roads. C.Poachers. D.Migrations. D Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act.One of Fringe's big shows used a small robot to come up with jokes from audiences'suggestions,which were then performed by humans.The results could be very funny,but sometimes they weren't funny at all.That was part of the point, explained Piotr Mirowski,the show's co maker..“We do not use humans to‘show off' AI;instead,we use AI 'to show'its limitations,to showcase human creativity on the stage,said Mirowski,according to The Guardian, 4.What does the underlined“That”in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Performing jokes made by robots. B.Robots'jokes are very popular. C.Robots'jokes sometimes are not fun. D.Using humans to show off Al. E Thel973 horror film“The Exorcist”and “Silent Night,Deadly Night'”released in 1984 2 姓名： were so scary that audiences left the theater up and out-throwing up and passing out, that is. Based on this evidence after the release, it would seem to most people that horror movies are bad for people's health.Yet experts actually argue exactly the opposite: The Halloween tradition of watching scary movies is actually good for your mental health. "There is some research on this in psychology,but I think what's basically been found is that there's a benefit to recalling fears in your mind,"Matthew Strohl,the author of Why It's OK to Love Bad Movies, told Salon."You can gain a sense of distance from them.You feel you can conquer them through this sort of exposure,as it were,by repeatedly putting yourself in a position where you have to engage with them.But because it's in a fictional（虚构的)artistic context,you can deal with them. Frank T.McAndrew,who has studied how places can“creep”people out(让人害 )-researched on the science behind how horror movies are in many ways ideal as a specific vehicle for meeting this need to be scared. “That is kind of born with us,” McAndrew pointed out."We like stories.We like to learn through the experience of other people.We learn valuable lessons that might be kind of costly to learn on our own.So we are attracted by horror movies and horror experiences because by watching other people deal with scary things,we can mentally practice strategies that will make us better 5 高考 prepared for dealing with that ourselves in the future..” Whether it is turning down the movie's volume,covering your eyes,or reminding yourself that it is just a movie,McAndrew said "that kind of playful engagement with fear can not only help people avoid fainting from horror in face of a horror movie,but also handle the pressure and anxieties of the real world..” 5.What does“That”underlined in paragraph 5 probably mean? A.The appeal for a vehicle. B.The need for fear. C.The fear for some places. D.The science behind horror. 考点4阅读理解之猜测词义一一猜测句子 意思 A It was a sunny afternoon in June of 2022 when 20-year-old Anthony Perry stepped off the train at Chicago's 69th Street station.On the platform,two men were fighting bitterly. Then the unthinkable happened:the pair fell over the edge and onto the tracks.One man ended up on his back.Suddenly,he started convulsing(抽搐)unnaturally..He had fallen on the third rail,.the conduit(导线管)for the 600 volts of electricity that powers Chicago's L trains.The aggressor leaped backward, bounded back up onto the platform and disappeared. Perry couldn't just stand there and watch.He sat at the edge of the platform and eased himself down.He took a few quick bounds and approached the victim.The guy 预测练 looked dead,his body still moving violently as the electricity pulsed(搏动).Gathering up his courage,Perry reached down and grasped the victim's wrist.Instantly,he felt a blast of electric shock shoot through his body.Perry shrank and jumped back.He reached down a second time,and was shocked again.But the third time he seized the man's wrist and forearm and,braving the shock,pulled with all his strength.The guy's body slid briefly along the third rail,coming to rest on the gravel on the outer edge of the tracks. The man was breathing,but irregularly.
