Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南周口太康县第一高级中学-11月·期中）Here are a few books written by society for science research competition alumni(校友) and some recommendations from alumni to help keep you thinking about worthwhile additions throughout the summer holidays. The Last Question By Isaac Asimov Columbia publications As much-loved favorite of science fans worldwide, Flora says, “it was a really good short story involving the universe being overtaken by entropy (熵).” The author questions the fate of the universe and, ultimately, what will become of the human race. Losing the Nobel prize By Brian Keating W. W. Norton & company Maximilian says, “it is a book worth reading for scientists, especially ambitious ones.

These days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: What is she going to do after graduation? The job market is, after all, awfully tough. Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time.” The bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored (主修) in STEM— science, technology, engineering and mathematics — areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”. But Emma is a student of the humanities (人文) at a small college. She’s an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. For quite a while, I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I’m not the least bit worried she will find a good job. Yet the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve decided to be honest. “I’m not sure what Emma is going to do,” I now say. “But she’s gotten a great education and has really found her interest. — and I know those things will serve her well over the course of her life.” Nowadays, more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. In this climate, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living. But a college is not a vocational (职业) school. And promoting STEM subjects should not be society’s only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world. From the beginning, we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money, as more and more families are doing. To Emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time: Emma’s contribution to the world and how happy she is in it. 1.The author’s friends and family _________. A. are worried about Emma’s safety B. have been worrying about the flood C. are concerned about Emma’s future D. are worried about the job market 2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. The number of the graduates is increasing. B. STEM graduates can be better employees. C. STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand. D. More and more graduates like to do a part-time job. 3.Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities? A. Because she is interested in it. B. Because her mother told her to. C. Because it is increasingly popular. D. Because she wants further education. 4.According to the author, what matters most in choosing a major is that _________. A. it should be among the STEM B. it should be fashionable and interesting C. it should allow a good job and a high salary D. it should bring achievements and happiness 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河南郑州第一中学·期中）La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Bunol close to Valencia in Spain. It is claimed to be the biggest food fight in the world. What Happens at La Tomatina At around 11 am, many trucks carry more than one hundred tons of over- ripe tomatoes into the centre of the town, Plaza del Pueblo. Technically the festival does not begin until one brave soul has climbed to the top of a two-story-high wooden pole and reached the ham at the top. In practice this process takes a long time and the festival starts despite no one reaching the prize. The signal for the beginning of the fight is the firing of a water gun. After one hour the fighting ends and the cleaning process begins. The Rules of La Tomatina Do not bring bottles or hard objects as they can cause accidents and hurt other participants; Do not tear other people’s T-shirts; You must squeeze (捏碎) the tomatoes before throwing them; As soon as you hear the second shot of the water gun, you must stop throwing tomatoes.

Naval Strategy Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914) He was an American naval (海军的) officer. His book was the first to study naval strategy. He argued that a strong navy is key to a country’s power, because controlling the seas helps protect trade and win wars. 1.Which book is significant for the research on ancient Greek history? A.

I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library. My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time. As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them. I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books . Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation. As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can. 1.Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child? A. Cooperative. B. Uneasy. C. Inseparable. D. Casual. 2.What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Pleasure from working in the library. B. Joy of reading passed on in the family. C. Wonderment from acting out the stories. D. A closer bond developed with the readers. 3.What does the author call on other writers to do? A. Sponsor book fairs. B. Write for social media. C. Support libraries. D. Purchase her novels. 4.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Reading: A Source of Knowledge B. My Idea about writing C. Library: A Haven for the Young D.

Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南汤阴县第一中学·期中）Looking for a new film for the holiday season? Consider watching the 1994 version (版本) of “Little Women,” starring Susan Sarandon, Winona Ryder, Claire Danes and Kirsten Dunst. Here are two reasons why you should devote a movie night to this modern classic. First, no work of literature deals with female character formation quite as well as Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 novel. And the 1994 film, directed by Gillian Armstrong, stays true to the spirit of this classic book about four sisters growing up in New England. Second, the film stands out independent of the novel, by stressing that living well means centering on others. In the book, Alcott describes the four March sisters, showing both their admirable qualities and weaknesses that need to be managed. They walk a road to adulthood that is full of personal struggles, self-sacrifice (自我牺牲), and hard-won self-knowledge. Their characters are complex and well-developed, not shallow or simplistic. This well-rounded focus on women’s many sides sets “Little Women” apart from other 19th-century American stories about women, which often had overly emotional and romantic views of women’s lives. In addition to several versions of different quality produced over the years, there is also Greta Gerwig’s 2019 feature-length adaptation. Despite an outstanding performance by Saoirse Ronan, whose Jo, the second-oldest March sister, is perhaps the most detailed and realistic of all, this modern version awkwardly changes Alcott’s message about 19th-century ideas of femininity. Toward the end of the film, Jo says lines that seem borrowed from a 21st-century course on women’s studies, and reflect experts’ understanding rather than the original text and spirit of the novel. So, all in all, only the 30-year-old film can be watched again and again. In the 1994 adaptation, overlaided on the central plot of character development is a warm, idealized, familial atmosphere. This quality is key and hard to measure. In short, it’s the kind of movie that makes you want to reach for a blanket and tea, even if you typically don’t like blankets and aren’t a tea drinker. This is what makes it a movie that stands alone, independent of the book. 1.Why does the author recommend the 1994 adaptation of “Little Women”? A. It stars one of his favorite actresses. B. It has been popular for the past 30 years. C. It deals with the topic of women creatively. D. It remains faithful to the original novel. 2.What does the author intend to stress about “Little Women” in paragraph 3? A. How it stands out from similar novels. B. Why it appeals to female readers. C. What makes it go beyond time and space. D. What unique writing style it has. 3.What is a weakness of Greta Gerwig’s 2019 adaptation? A. It uses too many special effects. B. It includes modern ideas about women. C. It changes the original story a lot. D. It lacks excellent performances. 4.What quality of the 1994 adaptation does the author show in the last paragraph? A. Its lasting popularity. B. Its simplified storyline. C. Its marked social effects. D. Its inviting feel. 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河南汤阴县第一中学·期中）The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said. Professor Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh, suggested that the way in which other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future. He compared the potential problem of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55 million years ago. Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. “The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than bigger animals and can thus improve the dissipation of the extra heat,” he writes. Brusatte said that becoming smaller was “a common way that mammals deal with climate change”. He added, “That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures rise pretty quickly. That does raise the question: If temperatures do rise really quickly, might humans get smaller? And I think that’s certainly reasonable.” However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Professor Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak. “We are not really controlled by natural selection,” he said. “If that was going to happen, you’d need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming. That is not happening in today’s world. We wear clothes, we have got heating, we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.” 1.How do mammals cope with climate change according to Brusatte? A. Moving to colder regions. B. Reducing their body size. C. Losing their weight. D. Adapting their diet. 2.What does the underlined word “dissipation” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Exchange. B. Formation. C. Absorption. D. Emission. 3.What is Adrian Lister’s attitude towards the recent study? A. Worried. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Approving. 4.What is the best title of this text? A. The Threat of Climate Change to Human Survival B. The Impact of Climate Change on Mammal Body Sizes C. The Evolutionary Trends in Mammal Body Sizes D. The Adaptive Strategies of Mammals to Climate Change Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南天立教育·期中）Is text-messaging driving us apart? These days, we talk to each other a lot with our thumbs — sending six billion text messages a day, and likely a few billion more on services like Whats App. But some worry that so much messaging leads to less communication. For instance, when hanging out with friends, we’d be texting secretively at the same time, pretending to maintain eye contact but mentally somewhere else. New technologies often upset the way we relate to one another, of course. But such division caused by texting has a strong echo in the arguments we had over telephone a hundred years ago. The small device gave us a new way to contact one another and quickly promote new forms of socializing. Callers arranged regular “visiting” calls, dialing remote family to catch up on news. Soon, though, social critics thought it would be so easy to talk that we’d never leave each other alone. Others worried that the telephone sped up life, demanding instant reactions. The use of the telephone gave little room for reflection. It produced a craziness in the ordinary concerns of life which didn’t make for domestic happiness. “We shall soon be nothing but transparent piles of jelly (果冻) to each other,” a London writer moaned in 1897. However, nowadays the telephone call seems like a throwback to a gentler era. When Jenna Birch, a communication professor at the University of Iowa, started dating a man who insisted on calling her on the phone, she found it warm and delightful. So she doesn’t think the shift to texting has degraded our interactions. According to her study, teenagers who text the most are also those who spend the most time face to face with friends. Communication, it seems, brings more communication, and — as she argues — just because talk happens in text doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful. Michéle Martin of Carleton University, thinks we’re living through a replay of the telephone, where the things that made it valuable — instant communications — are the same that made it annoying. “People believe they are liberated because they can bring the mobile phone everywhere,” Martin says. “But at the same time, they are slaves to it.” 1.What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To describe a scene. C. To offer an argument. D. To issue a warning. 2.According to paragraph 4, what does telephone use cause? A. People experience very tight schedule. B. People tend to lack individuality. C. People become narrow and uninformed. D. People lose the ability to reflect. 3.What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. Telephone calls are particularly welcomed in dating. B. Teenagers are addicted to communicating by texting. C. The shift to texting is destructive to face-to-face time. D. The meaning of communication goes beyond medium. 4.What’s the best title for the text? A. Oh My God! We’ve Been Here Before! B. Gone with the Wind, Dear Texting! C. Life is Too Short for So Many Texting. D. Oh, Telephone, a Tale of Two Sides. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $可学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 专题02阅读理解（应用文+议论文+其他） 基础必练 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 【答案】1.A2.B3.B 主题语境02人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 【答案】1.A2.D3.C Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.B3.D 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 【答案】1.A2.B3.C Passage 2 【答案】1.B2.B3.A Passage 3 【答案】1.C2.C3.A4.D 进阶提升 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 【答案】1.A2.C3.D Passage 2 1/3 可学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 【答案】1.D2.C3.B Passage 3 【答案】1.D2.C3.B Passage 4 【答案】1.D2.D3.C 主题语境02人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.A3.C Passage 2 【答案】1.B2.A3.B Passage 3 【答案】1.A2.C3.B 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.A3.D Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.B3.C4.D 拓展培优 主题语境01人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 【答案】1.D2.C3.B Passage 2 【答案】1.D2.A3.B4.D 主题语境02人与社会-科学与技术 213 可学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.D3.C4B Passage 2 【答案】1.A2.B3.D4.A 3/3 专题02 阅读理解（应用文+议论文+其他） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高二上·河南阳市华龙区濮阳市第一高级中学·期中）The International Phonetic (语音的) Association (IPA) is offering IPA Student Awards, Travel Scholarships and Gösta Bruce Scholarships for International Congress of Phonetic Sciences (ICPhS) 2023.

These days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: What is she going to do after graduation? The job market is, after all, awfully tough. Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time.” The bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored (主修) in STEM— science, technology, engineering and mathematics — areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”. But Emma is a student of the humanities (人文) at a small college. She’s an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. For quite a while, I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I’m not the least bit worried she will find a good job. Yet the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve decided to be honest. “I’m not sure what Emma is going to do,” I now say. “But she’s gotten a great education and has really found her interest. — and I know those things will serve her well over the course of her life.” Nowadays, more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. In this climate, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living. But a college is not a vocational (职业) school. And promoting STEM subjects should not be society’s only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world. From the beginning, we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money, as more and more families are doing. To Emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time: Emma’s contribution to the world and how happy she is in it. 1.The author’s friends and family _________. A. are worried about Emma’s safety B. have been worrying about the flood C. are concerned about Emma’s future D. are worried about the job market 2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. The number of the graduates is increasing. B. STEM graduates can be better employees. C. STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand. D. More and more graduates like to do a part-time job. 3.Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities? A. Because she is interested in it. B. Because her mother told her to. C. Because it is increasingly popular. D. Because she wants further education. 4.According to the author, what matters most in choosing a major is that _________. A. it should be among the STEM B. it should be fashionable and interesting C. it should allow a good job and a high salary D. it should bring achievements and happiness 【答案】1. C　2. C　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍如何在大学选专业的事情，现在热门的专业是STEM，意味着毕业后有更好的工作和更高的报酬，但是作者的女儿却凭兴趣选择了人文专业，作者认为选择专业重要的是应该带来成就和快乐，强调兴趣和长期幸福的重要性。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“These days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: What is she going to do after graduation?(这些天，朋友和家人开始向我提出一个问题：她毕业后打算做什么？)”可知，作者的朋友和家人很关心Emma的未来。故选C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The job market is, after all, awfully tough.

It was in such a complex and war-torn environment that Sun Tzu, with his rich military experience and deep insights, penned it. It is the oldest military work in the world, covering 13 short chapters that explain how wars work, how to win battles, and how leaders should think. One famous idea is “to win without fighting”. On War Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) He was a German military thinker. His book says war is a way to force an enemy to do what you want. It also says war is closely linked to politics. It deeply explores the differences between tactics (战术) and strategy, and is of great significance to military professionals and political theorists. The History of the Peloponnesian War Thucydides (about 460-400 BC) It records the details of the war between the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta and the Athenian Empire. This book is of high historical value, objectively and comprehensively presenting the process and impact of the war, and is an important work for studying ancient Greek history. The Art of War Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) He was an Italian writer from the Renaissance. His book talks about how to build and train an army, how to arrange soldiers in battle, and how governments should organize defenses. Many ideas were new for his time. Naval Strategy Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914) He was an American naval (海军的) officer. His book was the first to study naval strategy. He argued that a strong navy is key to a country’s power, because controlling the seas helps protect trade and win wars. 1.Which book is significant for the research on ancient Greek history? A.

Consider watching the 1994 version (版本) of “Little Women,” starring Susan Sarandon, Winona Ryder, Claire Danes and Kirsten Dunst. Here are two reasons why you should devote a movie night to this modern classic. First, no work of literature deals with female character formation quite as well as Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 novel. And the 1994 film, directed by Gillian Armstrong, stays true to the spirit of this classic book about four sisters growing up in New England. Second, the film stands out independent of the novel, by stressing that living well means centering on others. In the book, Alcott describes the four March sisters, showing both their admirable qualities and weaknesses that need to be managed. They walk a road to adulthood that is full of personal struggles, self-sacrifice (自我牺牲), and hard-won self-knowledge. Their characters are complex and well-developed, not shallow or simplistic. This well-rounded focus on women’s many sides sets “Little Women” apart from other 19th-century American stories about women, which often had overly emotional and romantic views of women’s lives. In addition to several versions of different quality produced over the years, there is also Greta Gerwig’s 2019 feature-length adaptation. Despite an outstanding performance by Saoirse Ronan, whose Jo, the second-oldest March sister, is perhaps the most detailed and realistic of all, this modern version awkwardly changes Alcott’s message about 19th-century ideas of femininity. Toward the end of the film, Jo says lines that seem borrowed from a 21st-century course on women’s studies, and reflect experts’ understanding rather than the original text and spirit of the novel. So, all in all, only the 30-year-old film can be watched again and again. In the 1994 adaptation, overlaided on the central plot of character development is a warm, idealized, familial atmosphere. This quality is key and hard to measure. In short, it’s the kind of movie that makes you want to reach for a blanket and tea, even if you typically don’t like blankets and aren’t a tea drinker. This is what makes it a movie that stands alone, independent of the book. 1.Why does the author recommend the 1994 adaptation of “Little Women”? A. It stars one of his favorite actresses. B. It has been popular for the past 30 years. C. It deals with the topic of women creatively. D. It remains faithful to the original novel. 2.What does the author intend to stress about “Little Women” in paragraph 3? A. How it stands out from similar novels. B. Why it appeals to female readers. C. What makes it go beyond time and space. D. What unique writing style it has. 3.What is a weakness of Greta Gerwig’s 2019 adaptation? A. It uses too many special effects. B. It includes modern ideas about women. C. It changes the original story a lot. D. It lacks excellent performances. 4.What quality of the 1994 adaptation does the author show in the last paragraph? A. Its lasting popularity. B. Its simplified storyline. C. Its marked social effects. D. Its inviting feel. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了作者推荐1994年版的电影《小妇人》的原因，将其与原著及其他版本改编电影进行对比，突出其独特优势。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Here are two reasons why you should devote a movie night to this modern classic. First, no work of literature deals with female character formation quite as well as Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 novel. And the 1994 film, directed by Gillian Armstrong, stays true to the spirit of this classic book about four sisters growing up in New England.(以下是你应该花一个电影之夜来欣赏这部现代经典的两个原因。首先，没有哪部文学作品能像路易莎·梅·奥尔科特1868年的小说那样，如此关注女性性格的形成。1994年由吉莉安·阿姆斯特朗执导的这部电影忠实于这本关于四个在新英格兰长大的姐妹的经典书籍的精神)”可知，作者推荐1994年版的《小妇人》的原因之一是因为它忠实于原著。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This well-rounded focus on women’s many sides sets “Little Women” apart from other 19th-century American stories about women, which often had overly emotional and romantic views of women’s lives.(这种对女性多方面的全面关注使《小妇人》有别于其他19世纪美国关于女性的故事，后者往往对女性的生活有过多的情感和浪漫看法)”可知，作者在第三段强调《小妇人》与其他类似小说的不同之处。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“In addition to several versions of different quality produced over the years, there is also Greta Gerwig’s 2019 feature-length adaptation.

This quality is key and hard to measure. In short, it’s the kind of movie that makes you want to reach for a blanket and tea, even if you typically don’t like blankets and aren’t a tea drinker.(在1994年的改编版本中，在人物发展的中心情节之上，笼罩着一种温暖、理想化的家庭氛围。这种品质是关键，而且很难衡量。简而言之，这是一种让你想要拿起毯子，端起茶的电影，即使你通常不喜欢毯子，也不喝茶)”可知，作者在最后一段表现了1994年改编版本的吸引人的氛围。故选D项。 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河南汤阴县第一中学·期中）The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said. Professor Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh, suggested that the way in which other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future. He compared the potential problem of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55 million years ago. Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. “The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than bigger animals and can thus improve the dissipation of the extra heat,” he writes. Brusatte said that becoming smaller was “a common way that mammals deal with climate change”. He added, “That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures rise pretty quickly. That does raise the question: If temperatures do rise really quickly, might humans get smaller? And I think that’s certainly reasonable.” However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Professor Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak. “We are not really controlled by natural selection,” he said. “If that was going to happen, you’d need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming. That is not happening in today’s world. We wear clothes, we have got heating, we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.” 1.How do mammals cope with climate change according to Brusatte? A. Moving to colder regions. B. Reducing their body size. C. Losing their weight. D. Adapting their diet. 2.What does the underlined word “dissipation” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Exchange. B. Formation. C. Absorption. D. Emission. 3.What is Adrian Lister’s attitude towards the recent study? A. Worried. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Approving. 4.What is the best title of this text? A. The Threat of Climate Change to Human Survival B. The Impact of Climate Change on Mammal Body Sizes C. The Evolutionary Trends in Mammal Body Sizes D. The Adaptive Strategies of Mammals to Climate Change 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇议论文。文章本文探讨了气候变化对哺乳动物尤其是人类的体型的影响。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said. (一位著名化石专家表示，气候危机可能会导致人类体型缩小，因为体型较小的哺乳动物似乎更能应对不断上升的全球气温。)”及第四段中“Brusatte said that becoming smaller was ‘a common way that mammals deal with climate change’. ( Brusatte说，变小是“哺乳动物应对气候变化的一种常见方式”。)”可知，根据Brusatte的说法，哺乳动物减小体型来应对气候变化。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线词句前文“Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. (在《哺乳动物的兴起和统治》一书中，Brusatte指出，当今世界上温暖地区的动物通常比寒冷地区的动物要小，这是一个被称为Bergmann法则的生态原则。)”和划线词句中“The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than bigger animals (原因尚不完全清楚，但可能在一定程度上是因为比较起更大的动物，较小的动物相对于其体积有更高的表面积)”可知，体型较小的动物比体型较大的动物更容易散热，从而推知划线部分“and can thus improve the dissipation of the extra heat (从而可以提高额外热量的dissipation)”其中划线部分意思是“散发”。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Professor Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak.(然而，并不是所有的专家都认为气温升高会导致哺乳动物体型缩小。伦敦自然历史博物馆的Adrian Lister教授说，最近的人类遗骸研究显示的这种关系很弱。)”以及“That is not happening in today’s world.(这在今天的世界是不会发生的。)”等内容可知，Adrian Lister对最近的研究持怀疑态度。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said. (一位著名化石专家表示，气候危机可能会导致人类体型缩小，因为体型较小的哺乳动物似乎更能应对不断上升的全球气温。)”可知，本文探讨了气候变化对哺乳动物尤其是人类的体型的影响。B“气候变化对哺乳动物体型的影响”符合主题，故选B项。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南天立教育·期中）Is text-messaging driving us apart? These days, we talk to each other a lot with our thumbs — sending six billion text messages a day, and likely a few billion more on services like Whats App. But some worry that so much messaging leads to less communication. For instance, when hanging out with friends, we’d be texting secretively at the same time, pretending to maintain eye contact but mentally somewhere else. New technologies often upset the way we relate to one another, of course. But such division caused by texting has a strong echo in the arguments we had over telephone a hundred years ago. The small device gave us a new way to contact one another and quickly promote new forms of socializing. Callers arranged regular “visiting” calls, dialing remote family to catch up on news. Soon, though, social critics thought it would be so easy to talk that we’d never leave each other alone. Others worried that the telephone sped up life, demanding instant reactions. The use of the telephone gave little room for reflection. It produced a craziness in the ordinary concerns of life which didn’t make for domestic happiness. “We shall soon be nothing but transparent piles of jelly (果冻) to each other,” a London writer moaned in 1897. However, nowadays the telephone call seems like a throwback to a gentler era. When Jenna Birch, a communication professor at the University of Iowa, started dating a man who insisted on calling her on the phone, she found it warm and delightful. So she doesn’t think the shift to texting has degraded our interactions. According to her study, teenagers who text the most are also those who spend the most time face to face with friends. Communication, it seems, brings more communication, and — as she argues — just because talk happens in text doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful. Michéle Martin of Carleton University, thinks we’re living through a replay of the telephone, where the things that made it valuable — instant communications — are the same that made it annoying. “People believe they are liberated because they can bring the mobile phone everywhere,” Martin says. “But at the same time, they are slaves to it.” 1.What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To describe a scene. C. To offer an argument. D. To issue a warning. 2.According to paragraph 4, what does telephone use cause? A. People experience very tight schedule. B. People tend to lack individuality. C. People become narrow and uninformed. D. People lose the ability to reflect. 3.What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. Telephone calls are particularly welcomed in dating. B. Teenagers are addicted to communicating by texting. C. The shift to texting is destructive to face-to-face time. D. The meaning of communication goes beyond medium. 4.What’s the best title for the text? A. Oh My God! We’ve Been Here Before! B. Gone with the Wind, Dear Texting! C. Life is Too Short for So Many Texting. D. Oh, Telephone, a Tale of Two Sides. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了短信交流是否导致人与人之间疏远，通过对比短信与电话交流的影响来探讨这一问题。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Is text-messaging driving us apart? These days, we talk to each other a lot with our thumbs — sending six billion text messages a day, and likely a few billion more on services like Whats App.(短信正在让我们疏远吗？如今，我们经常用拇指互相交谈——每天发送60亿条短信，而在Whats App等服务上可能还会多发送几十亿条。)”可知，第一段通过提出“短信是否让我们疏远”的问题，并给出当前短信发送量的数据，来引出文章要讨论的主题。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“ Soon, though, social critics thought it would be so easy to talk that we’d never leave each other alone. Others worried that the telephone sped up life, demanding instant reactions. The use of the telephone gave little room for reflection. It produced a craziness in the ordinary concerns of life which didn’t make for domestic happiness. “We shall soon be nothing but transparent piles of jelly ( 果冻 ) to each other,” a London writer moaned in 1897.(然而不久之后，社会评论家们认为，仅仅通过通话就能交流得如此顺畅，以至于我们根本无法独处片刻。还有人担心电话会加快生活节奏，要求人们立即做出反应。电话的使用几乎没有给人们留下思考的空间。它让日常生活中原本平凡的事情变得混乱不堪，这不利于家庭的幸福。“我们很快就会变成彼此透明的果冻般的存在了。”1897 年，一位伦敦作家如此哀叹道。)”可知，文章第四段提到，反对电话的人认为，电话使得人们交流过于便捷，会让人失去独处的时间，还会加速生活节奏，要求人们即时回应，且缺乏思考空间，甚至认为这会让人们在日常事务中变得 “疯狂”，一位伦敦作家还抱怨 “我们很快会变成彼此面前透明的果冻”，暗示人们会因电话失去个性和隐私。A 选项 “日程紧张” 并非原文强调的核心问题；C 选项 “视野狭窄、信息闭塞” 与电话促进沟通的特点相悖；D 选项 “失去思考能力” 原文表述为 “缺乏思考空间（gave little room for reflection）”，并非 “失去思考能力”，表述不准确，故 B 选项正确。电话的使用导致人们往往缺乏个性。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段“However, nowadays the telephone call seems like a throwback to a gentler era.

Communication, it seems, brings more communication, and — as she argues — just because talk happens in text doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful.(但如今，打电话反而像是回到了更温和的旧时光。爱荷华大学的传播学教授珍娜・伯奇曾和一个坚持打电话联系她的人约会，她觉得这种方式温暖又愉快。因此她认为，转向短信交流并没有降低我们互动的质量。根据她的研究，发短信最多的青少年，也是和朋友面对面相处时间最长的群体。看来，沟通只会带来更多沟通——而且正如她所说，不能仅仅因为交流是通过短信进行的，就否定它的意义。)”可知，沟通的意义超越了媒介本身。故选D。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章首先提出短信是否导致人与人之间疏远的问题，然后通过对比短信与电话交流的影响，指出新技术往往会改变我们彼此相处的方式，但短信交流并不一定意味着沟通没有意义。文章最后提到，我们正在经历电话时代的重演，其中使电话有价值的东西——即时通讯——也是使它令人讨厌的东西。因此，A选项“Oh My God! We’ve Been Here Before!(天哪！我们以前来过这里！)”最符合文章主旨，既表达了短信与电话交流影响的相似性，又带有一种对历史重演的感慨，适合用作标题。故选A。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
