专题十六阅读理解之科普类说明文

1.【2015·湖北卷】D

The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.

First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled (芭蕾)dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Spac e Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”

On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible (隐形的)cloud around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.

Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat,”Your inner ear thinks your’re falling . Mean while your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying—that’s why some people feel sick.” Within a couple days —truly terrible days for some —astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.

Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.

63.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?

A. Deciding on a proper sleep position

B. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag

C. Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly

D. Finding a right time to go to sleep.

64.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _____.

A. the y circle around on their bikes

B. they use microcomputers without a stop

C. they exercise in one place for a long time

D. they watch a movie while pedaling

65.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because _____.

A. their senses stop working

B. they have to stand up straight

C. they float out of their seats unexpectedly

D. whether they are able to go back to the station

66.One of the NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is _____.

A. how much exercise they do on the station

B. how they can remain healthy for long in space

C. whether they can recover after returning home

D. whether they are able to go back to the station

2.【2015·北京卷】C

Life in the Clear

Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”

And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It’s trickier than you might think.

The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.

But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it ----you see the things behind it.

To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering. Animals are built of many different materials----skin, fat, and more----and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see—through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it .

Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.

63. According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals_______.

A. stay in groups

B. can be easily damaged

C. appear only in deep ocean

D. are beautiful creatures

64. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means__________.

A. silently

B. gradually

C. regularly

D. completely

65. One way for an animal to become transparent is to ________.

A. change the direction of light travel

B. gather materials to scatter light.

C. avoid the absorption of light

D. grow bigger to stop light.

66. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals________.

A. move more slowly in deep water

B. stay see-through even after death

C. produce more tissues for their survival

D. take effective action to reduce light spreading

【解析】

试题分析:文章解释了生活在海洋的透明生物的特点,透明原理,以及形成机制。

63.B 细节理解题。文章第一段第三行:Mostof them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by

a simple touch。得知B选项:透明动物是很容易受伤的。故选B。

64.D 词义猜测题。该词出现在文章第三段第三行。前文提到了:你能看到的物体一种是对光线进行了散射;而另外一种是对光线的吸收。既然吸收了,那在光的传播过程中就完全阻止了,因此这里dead是完全的意思。故选D。

65.C 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light。可知,想变透明就要避免散射或吸收光线,因此其中的一个方法是C选项,避免光线的吸收。故选C。

66.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does可以推断出D为正确答案。其中slowdown对应reduce。故选D。

3.【2015·江苏】B

In the United States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year. Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.

Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste, the concentration (含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in So-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.

Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.

Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging(包装) it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production, distribution, and use of products —as well as management of the resulting waste —all result in greenhouse gas release.” Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start —for instance, buying reusable products and recycling.

In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive (动机) for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first place?

Governments’incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap (气泡垫) that encased your television?

From the governments’point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.

58.By mentioning the Swiss study, the author intends to tell us that _________ .

A. the weight of e-goods is rather small

B. E-waste deserves to be made good use of

C. natural minerals contain more precious metals

D. the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste

59.The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended _________ .

A. from producers to governments

B. from governments to producers

C. from individuals to distributors

D. from distributors to governments

60. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The increase in e-waste.

B. The creation of e-waste.

C. The seriousness of e-waste.

D. The management of e-waste.

4.C

Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.

Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.

People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.

Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.

Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.”Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts

might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.

61.People volunteer mainly out of ______ .

A. academic requirements

B. social expectations

C. financial rewards

D. internal needs

62.What can we learn from the Florida study?

A. Follow-up studies should last for one year.

B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared.

C. Strategy training is a must in research.

D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.

63.What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?

A. Individual differences in role identity.

B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.

C. Role identity as a volunteer.

D. Practical advice from researchers.

64.What is the best title of the passage?

A. How to Get People to Volunteer

B. How to Study Volunteer Behaviors

C. How to Keep Volunteers’ Interest

D. How to Organize Volunteer Activities

【解析】

试题分析:本文是一篇议论文。文章分析讲述志愿者为什么自发地去服务社会,并通过3个实验研究志愿者的意图。

61. D细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容可知人们做志愿者工作的原因为:“to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships”,再结合“If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate”可知答案为D项(满足内在的需求)。

62.B推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句中“training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”可知志愿者应该从心理上做好充分的准备。故选B项。

63.C细节理解题。根据第五段第二句中“those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work”可知志愿者身份认同会激励他们继续从事志愿者工作。故选C项。

64.A标题归纳题。文章首段提出假设:假如你是一名组织领导人,很想得到志愿者的帮助。并指出在此之前,必须弄清志愿者为什么自发地去服务社会,并通过3个实验研究志愿者的意图。因此A项(如何使人们从事志愿者服务)是文章的最佳标题。

5.【2015·广东】C

Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. W e tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.

One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.

Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.

Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.

For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.

36. By watching TV, children learn _________.

A. images through words

B. more than explicit meanings

C. more about images than words

D. little about people’s psychology

37. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.

A. on his own

B. with other kids

C. with his parents

D. with his teachers

38. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?

A. Radio-listening

B. Television-watching

C. Parents’ reading list

D. Parents’ educational background

39. Anderson believed that _________.

A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is

B. the younger a child is, the more he watches TV

C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV

D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school

40. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To advise on the educational use of TV.

B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.

C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.

D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.

【解析】

试题分析:本文叙述著名心理学家Daniel Anderson对孩子们看电视的看法,打破了以往人们认为看电视对孩子不好的想法。他认为孩子们看电视不知学到显现出来的东西;父母陪孩子看电视,孩子可以学到更多知识;孩子看电视并没有代替孩子阅读,并没有影响孩子的智商。36. B细节理解题。根据第二段的Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.可知孩子们通过看电视,可以学到显性和隐藏的意义,因此不仅仅学到隐藏的意思。故选B。

37. C推理判断题。根据第二段的Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them“孩子们有父母陪着看电视理解的更多”,故推断教育节目最好是父母陪着孩子看。故选C。

38. D细节理解题。根据第三段的Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger

influence on a child’s reading.可知父母的教育背景对孩子的阅读有很强的影响。故选D。39. C细节理解题。根据第四段的“If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older”可知如果你小时越聪明,长大看电视看得越来越少。故选C。

40. D推理判断题。根据最后一段的Anderson suggests that television cannot condemned without considering other influences.“Anderson认为不应该按照常规,不考虑电视的其他影响而去谴责电视”故推断这篇文章的目的是呈现Anderson打破常规的想法,故选D。

The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of, certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance.

On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other special(物种) that depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many special are quickly dying out.

On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁)human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the

world's groundwater.

Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations (种植园)could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.

It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet

and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.

54. What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?

A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques.

B. It leads to air pollution and global warming.

C. It slows down the loss of shade trees.

D. It improves local soil conditions.

55. The purpose of the text is to .

A. entertain

B. advertise

C. instruct

D. persuade

56. Where does this text probably come from ?

A. An agricultural magazine.

B. A medical journal.

C. An engineering textbook.

D. A tourist guide.

57.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?

试题分析:文章介绍阳光充足的咖啡生产给环境和生态带来的种种危害,呼吁人们不要购买这种咖啡,而要买对环境有利的产品。

54.细节理解题。根据文章第四段的句子:The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.可知阳光充足的咖啡生产会带来空气污染和全球气温变暖,故选B。

55.写作意图题。根据文章最后一段的句子:But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost.可知作者的意图是劝说人们购买阴凉处种植的咖啡,这样对环境是有好处的,故选D。

56.推理判断题。文章介绍阳光充足的咖啡生产会带来的破坏,应该是出自一本农业杂志,故选A。

57.文章结构题。文章第一段介绍阳光充足的咖啡生产的话题,二、三、四段介绍了阳光充足的咖啡生产带来的破坏,第五段说服人们去购买对环境有利的阴凉处种植的咖啡,所以是总分总的结构,故选A。

Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night一as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.

David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.

Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds’ health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.

He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy."

And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I

have people coming to me saying `You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?'.During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep."

Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.

However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.

42.According to Dr Dominoni's study, what cause robins to sing so much?

A. The breeding season.

B. The light in modern life

C. The dangerous environment.

D. The noise from heavy machinery.

43.What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output?

A. The environment might be polluted.

B. The birds' health might be damaged.

C. The industry cost might be increased.

D. The people's hearing might be affected.

44.What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. Active at night.

B. Inactive at night.

C. Active during the day.

D. Inactive during the day.

45.Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?

A. Because there are fewer dangers.

B. Because there is more food to eat.

C. Because there is less light pollution

D. Because there are more places to take shelter.

No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n’roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden pole s to the stones and rolled then across the sand, the scientists say.

“Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,”physicist Daniel Bonn said.

People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.

The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.

Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.

However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way , who led the new

study . West said , “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things?’“A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides , he realized . That , he notes , should make a block of stone” a lot easier to roll than a square”.

So he tried it.

He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.

They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.

West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.

46.It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.

A. rolling them on roads

B. pushing them over the sand

C. sliding them on smooth paths

D. dragging them on some poles

47.The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means____.

A. made the path wet

B. made the path hard

C. made the path wide

D. made the path slippery

48.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 7 refer to?

A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached.

B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.

C. Rolling poles to move the blocks.

D. Rolling the blocks with fat.

49.Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ?

A. Because more force is needed for sliding.

B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.

C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.

D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.

50.What is the text mainly about ?

A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

【解析】

试题分析:本文主要讲述的是关于金字塔的建造,不同的专家有着不同的见解。这篇文章主要讲述了两种看法。

46.C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段的The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths.可知选择C。

47.D 词义猜测题。根据第四段的To make the work easier,以及下文的either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle.可知,这样做是为了让路更加平滑,故选择D。

48.A 词义猜测题。这是考查指代词的指代内容,由于是指代词,可知内容应该在上文,根据第六段的内容可知,选择A,意为把杆绑在石块上,然后滚动石块。

49.D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.可知,滚动石块不需要有准备工作,故选择D。

9.【2015·天津】B

Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.

While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.

The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You

can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questi ons; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.

Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.

Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.

The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.

41. How are social robots different from household robots?

A. They can control their emotions.

B. They are more like humans.

C. They do the normal housework.

D. They respond to users more slowly.

42. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?

A. Communicate with you and perform operations.

B. Answer your questions and make requests.

C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.

D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.

43. What can Oshbot work as?

A. A language teacher.

B. A tour guide.

C. A shop assistant.

D. A private nurse.

44. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.

A. train employees

B. be our workmates

C. improve technologies

D. take the place of workers

45. What does the passage mainly present?

A. A new design idea of household robots.

B. Marketing strategies for social robots.

C. Information on household robots.

D. An introduction to social robots.

【解析】

试题分析:文章大意:文章主要介绍了社会机器人的功能与作用。

41. B细节理解题。根据文章第二段While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.可知社会机器人更像人或不是纯粹的工具。故选B。

42. D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“his action to keep his balance against the strong winds made for some heart-stopping(令人担忧的)moments for the audience.”可知选D。

43. C 细节理解题。根据第三段You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks.和It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.可知此机器人可以解答问题且可以提醒家庭成员服药和拍照片。选C。

44. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段Breazeal 的话“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us”可以推断出社会机器人可以和我们一起做事情。故选B。

45. D 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了社会机器人的功能与作用。故选D。【考点定位】科技类短文阅读

【名师点睛】本文是一篇科技类短文阅读,整体难度中等偏易,多数考查细节理解题,只需通过关键词定位可得出答案。倒数第二题需要稍加推理才能判断出答案,最后一题是对文章的主旨大意的考查,考生做题时尤其注意切切不能以偏概全,干扰选择项要多回到原文的原句反复斟酌。

If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars,we would go in darkness happily,the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead,we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.

The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences 一called light pollution 一whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design,which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky.III-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels 一and light rhythms — to which many forms of life, including, ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light

科普说明文

科普说明文 导读:科普说明文有两种:一种是科学小品,另一种是一般科学说明文。科学小品属于文艺性说明文,在说明中兼用文艺性笔调讲述科学道理,介绍科学知识,是用小品文的形式来表现科学内容的文章。一般科学说明文是单纯客观地介绍科学知识的文章,不大讲文艺性笔调。 范文一:达尔文之岛 达尔文岛是一座杳无人烟,且天然环境优美的岛屿。一位美国人在某一天踏上了这片未开发的土地,开始进研究,他就是闻名遐迩的生物学家—达尔文。 达尔文乘着“小猎犬号”来到这座岛屿,就被这里深深吸引住。研究了许多年,达尔文带着许多重要的数据和观察结果,发表了一篇影响世界的论文“进化论”,提出有名的理论为“适者生存,不适者淘汰”的想法。 在几十年后的今天,又有一批科学家前往这座因达尔文而闻名的达尔文之岛。他们拥有着高科技的潜水设备,可以捕捉许多人类前所未见的海洋生物,几乎每天都有一种海洋生物在进化,让科学家兴奋不已!但是现在却因为参观的人太多,造成环境破坏,许多珍贵的生物资源因此消失殆尽。 其实中国也是一座美丽的岛屿,在人类尚未积极开发前都非常完美,直到我们人类来了,有些动物遭滥捕滥杀,而造成许多生物因此

绝迹。希望达尔文之岛的危机,能够警惕我们身为中国的一份子,多想想我们的美丽岛屿吧! 范文二:八大行星 北回归线太阳馆的陈老师与蔡老师带来天文魔法宅急便,为我们上了四堂八大行星的课程,打开天文的.知识之窗,带领我们进入奥妙的天文瀚海中。 水星在古代称做辰星,绕太阳一圈只要八十八天,没有自然卫星,也是八大行星中最小的一颗。它离太阳最近,温差最大,最高温有六百度,最低温是零下一百七十三度,因为没有大气层的保护,所以容易受到陨石撞击。 金星在古代称为太白,是八大行星中自转最慢的行星,而且太阳是从它的西边升上来,东边落下去,跟地球相反。第三颗行星是地球,唯一目前有生命的星球。火星古代称为荧惑,上面有大峡谷及太阳系中最高的山----奥林帕斯山,它有二万多公尺,是圣母峰的三倍高,它的卫星像马铃薯,真有趣呢! 木星像穿着木条纹衣,古时候称为岁星,有六十四颗卫星和一个大红斑。土星被称为镇星,泰坦卫星是六十颗的卫星中最大的一颗,目前在北回归线太阳馆中有一架泰坦火箭喔! 木星、土星、天王星、海王星都是由气体组成,土星有一个游泳圈,天王星是躺着转动,而海王星竟然是由数学家计算出来的,并非实际观测发现的,和木星不一样,它拥有一个大黑斑。

(2015_2018)高考英语试题分项版解析专题16科普类说明文(含解析)

专题16 科普类说明文 2018高考题 D【2018·全国I】 We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things. To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation — Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007. As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions(排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window. So what's the solution(解决方案)? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. 32. What does the author think of new devices? A. They are environment-friendly. B. They are no better than the old. C. They cost more to use at home. D. They go out of style quickly.

阅读理解之科普类说明文答案解析

1. 【解析】 试题分析:这是一篇说明文。本文通过举例说明了太空生活的奇妙:在太空睡觉时,对宇航员来说主要的挑战在于恰当的睡眠姿势;宇航员在一个地方运动久了会出现碳毒性头痛;宇航员的大脑接收到矛盾的信息时会感到恶心。最后告诉我们美国国家宇航局对宇航员主要的担心是宇航员回家后的修养期和如何在太空长久地保持健康。 63.A细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own chal lenges.”可知在太空睡觉时,对宇航员来说主要的挑战在于恰当的睡眠姿势。故选A项。 64. C细节理解题。根据第三段中“But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. …You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache”可知宇航员在一个地方运动久了会出现碳毒性头痛。故选C项。 65. D细节理解题。根据第四段中“Your inner ear thinks you’re failing. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying-that’s why some people feel sick.”可知宇航员在大脑接收到矛盾的信息时会感到恶心。故选D项。 66.B细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第一、二句“The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy…NASA is worried about two things :… and, more importantly, how maintain strength and fitness…”可知美国国家宇航局对宇航员主要的担心之一是如何在太空长久地保持健康。故选B项。 【考点定位】说明文阅读 【名师点睛】科普类说明文历来是高考阅读理解命题的重点,文章逻辑性强,条理清楚,主要考查学生对语篇的整体把握和领悟能力以及对特定细节的认读和处理能力。考生应注意:1.平时多读科普知识类文章,学习科普知识,积累常见的科普词汇,从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力。2.熟悉科普类文章的结构特点。科普类文章一般由标题(高考题中一般不给出标题)、导语、背景、主体和结尾五部分构成。导语一般位于整篇文章的首段。背景交待一个事实的起因。主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述,这部分是命题的重点,考生应该重点把握。结尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并与导语相呼应,命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题。3. 在进行推理判断时,考生一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据,同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识。 2. 【解析】 试题分析:文章解释了生活在海洋的透明生物的特点,透明原理,以及形成机制。 63.B 细节理解题。文章第一段第三行:Mostof them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch。得知B选项:透明动物是很容易受伤的。故选B。 64.D 词义猜测题。该词出现在文章第三段第三行。前文提到了:你能看到的物体一种是对光线进行了散射;而另外一种是对光线的吸收。既然吸收了,那在光的传播过程中就完全阻止了,因此这里dead是完全的意思。故选D。 65.C 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light。可知,想变透明就要避免散射或吸收光线,因此其中的一个方法是C选项,避免光线的吸收。故选C。 66.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does可以推断出D为正确答案。其中slowdown对应reduce。故选D。 【考点定位】科技类说明文 【名师点睛】做科技类说明文时,考生应能:理解语篇主旨要义,理解文中具体信息,根据上下文提供的线索推测生词的词义,根据文中事实和线索作出简单的判断和推理。此次出现了新型科技类说明文。往年科技类说明文的阅读难点在于专业类词汇,但是今年的“新型耳机”在问题设置上难度不大,属于文章难但题目不难的题目。所以要理解好文章做好此题就不是难题。

的机械磨损和腐蚀,使得内部的重金属和酸碱等泄露出来,进入土壤或水源,造成环境污染,而且对人体健康也造成一定伤害。据资料显示,废旧电池对土壤污染很严重,可以造成农作物绝收。一粒钮扣电池能污染60万升水,相当于一个人一生饮水量;一节1号电池埋在土壤里,能使1平方米的土地失去使用价值。这样一来,我们“电池家族”岂不蒙受了“不白之冤”,承担了污染环境的罪名?在这里我要为电池同胞们说句话:我们电池一生的使命就是为人们奉献,等到失去了使用价值,只剩一幅“浑身是病”的躯壳,难道也是我们的罪过吗?不!是因为人类缺乏环保意识,才使我们成为元凶。 目前,人们的环保意识还很淡薄,也根本没有意识到废旧电池的危害性。有不少人把它与生活垃圾一同倒掉,形成了巨大的污染源。世界上生活垃圾的处理方式主要是卫生填埋、焚烧和堆肥,混入其中的废旧电池也在这三个过程中发生了污染作用。当采用填埋的方式时,废旧电池的重金属通过渗滤作用污染水源和土壤;当采用焚烧的方式时,废旧电池在高温下,腐蚀设备,某些重金属在焚烧炉中挥发在飞灰中,造成了大气污染。焚烧炉底重金属堆积,给产生的灰渣造成污染;当采用堆肥的方式时,废旧电池的重金属含量较高,造成堆肥的质量下降。除此以外,人们也会采用再利用的方式。这样的话,工艺虽然容易掌握,但回收率只有82%,其余的铅以气体和粉尘的形态出现,同时冶炼过程中二氧化硫会进

科普说明文介绍

科普说明文有两种:一种是科学小品,另一种是一般科学说明文.科学小品属于文艺性说明文,在说明中兼用文艺性笔调讲述科学道理,介绍科学知识,是用小品文的形式来表现科学内容的文章.一般科学说明文是单纯客观地介绍科学知识的文章,不大讲文艺性笔调. 二、科学小品的特点和写作 1.科学小品的特点 科学小品既有别于一般小品文,又和其它科普说明文不同,具有自己的特点. ⑴亦小亦新 科学小品不仅篇幅短小,还要内容新鲜独特.能尺幅千里,寸镜万菌.它紧跟科技的发展和时事的变化,及时普及新的知识. ⑵亦俗亦雅 科学小品用语通俗,浅显易懂,既能引发众人的兴趣,又能准确地说明科学知识. ⑶亦诗亦哲亦知 科学小品融科学性、艺术性和思想性于一体.因此凭添的诗、哲、知合一的风味,使人在增长知识的同时,也启发了思想,陶冶了情操. 2.科学小品的写作要求 ⑴必须准确地说明科学知识或科学道理. ⑵要活用各种说明方法,如比喻法、拟人法等,增强说明的形象感和趣味性. ⑶要从科学中发掘美,开人心智,陶冶性情. 三、一般科学说明文的特点和写作要求 1.一般科学说明文的特点 ⑴说明性 科普说明文的写作目的在于介绍科学知识.是科普说明文,就要介绍科学知识. ⑵单一性 一篇科普说明文,一般只说明一个科学现象,介绍一种科学知识. ⑶通俗性 科普说明文介绍的知识多是普及性的,所以要求用通俗有趣的浯言,深入浅出地进行说明. 2.一般科学说明文的写作要求 (1)要有明确的目的,如此才能抓住重点,突出中心. (2)与科学小品不同,这类科普说明文一般不需要有形象,有感情,只需直接介绍事物的特征,说明某一科学现象即可. (3)因为科普说明文的根本任务在于普及科学知识,所以在表达上应力求用浅显朴实的浯言说明复杂抽象的内容
