综合C 阅读理解(押题文章详解) 第三篇Shark Attack!

Craig Rogers was sitting on his surfboard, scanning the distance for his next wave，when his board suddenly stopped moving. He looked down and was terrified to see a great white shark biting the front of his board. ―I could have touched its eye with my elbow,‖ says Craig. The shark had surfaced so quietly that he hadn't heard a thing.

In his horror and confusion，he waved his arms and accidentally cut two of his fingers on the shark's teeth. He then slid off the opposite side of his surfboard into the water. Then然后, with Craig in the water and blood flowing from his fingers，the five-meter-long shark simply swam away, （第1题答案出处）disappearing into the water below.

Although sharks are often categorized as killers that hunt and eat as many humans as they can, this is factually inaccurate. Sharks very rarely kill humans. A person has a greater chance of being struck by lightning or drowning in a bath than of being killed by a shark. Only 74 people have been reported killed by great whites in the last century. But great white sharks can reach six meters in length and weigh 2,200 kilograms or more. With frightening jaws that can hold up to 3,000 teeth arranged in several rows，they could very easily kill and eat a helpless human in the water. Why is it, then, that most people survive attacks by great whites? Shark researchers are trying to comprehend the reasons that allow people to escape without being eaten.

The most common explanation is that great whites don't see well. It has been thought that they mistake people for把人错当成the seals or sea lions which make up a large part of their diet（第3、4题答案出处）. There is reason to doubt this有理由去怀疑，however. Recent information shows that great whites can actually see very well. 事实上,大白鲨能看得非常清楚（第5题答案出处）Also, when attacking seals, great whites shoot up to the surface and bite with great force. When approaching humans, however, they most often move in slowly and bite less hard. They soon discover that humans are not a high —fat meal. ―They spit us out because we're too bony,‖ says Aidan Martin，director of Reef Quest Center for Shark Research.

Shark researchers like Martin hypothesize that great whites are actually curious animals that like to investigate things. It's possible that they use their bite not only to kill and eat, but also to gather information. Although such an experience is unlucky for people like Craig Rogers, when sharks bite surfboards or other objects or people，they are likely just trying to learn what they are. 练习：

C1. After Craig Rogers fell into the water, the shark_________.--------细节类A) bit his surfboard B) bit his fingers C) swam away D) attacked him

第五篇The Travels旅行of Ibn Battuta 第1题答案出处

―I left Tangier, my birthplace, the 13th of June 1325 with the intention of making the pilgrimage [ to Mecca]... to leave all my friends both female and male, to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests. ‖So begins an old manuscript手稿in a library图书馆in Paris巴黎—the travel journal日记of Ibn Battuta. 第4题答案出处1 Almost two centuries before Columbus, this young Moroccan set off出发第2题答案出处for Mecca, returning home three decades later as one of history's great travelers.

When Our Eyes Serve Our Stomach我们的视觉服务于我们的胃口

Our senses aren’t just delivering strict view of what’s going on in the world；they’re affected by what’s going on in our heads. A new study finds that hungry 饥饿的people see food-related与食物相关的words more clearly 清晰地,真切地than people who’ve just eaten.吃过的人(第1题答案出处)

Psychologists have known for decades that what’s going on,inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Remi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis，France，wanted to investigate how this happens. Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brain’s high-level thinking processes get involved.

Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass index. On the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.刚吃过（=non-hungry）（第2题答案出处）

For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about l/300th of a second 三百分之一秒each. They flashed

at so small a size that the students could only consciously有意识的perceive感知.（第4题答案出处1）A quarter of the words were food-related. After each word，each person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they’d seen — a food-related word like cake or a neutral word like boat. Each word appeared 出现too briefly短暂地for the participant to really read it.（第4题答案出处2）

Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food- related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception ,not in thinking processes, Radel says.

―This is something great to me. Humans can really perceive what they need or what they strive for争取（第5题答案出处）. From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal 支配of our motives 动机and needs,‖ Radel says.（第3题答案出处）

通过标志词“new”找到本文中心句-------比起那些刚刚用过餐的人，饥饿的人能更清晰地看到与食品有关的词。结合标题，推测本文以“视觉与感知食物”为线索展开论述练习：

C1. What does the new study mentioned in Paragraph 1 find? -------对错类A Hungry people see every word more clearly than ordinary people.B Hungry people are always thinking of food-related words.C Hungry people are more sensitive敏感的to food-related words than stomach-full people吃饱的人.D Hungry people do not have lower-level of thinking process.选项A、B含绝对性词，优先排除。选项C是原文中心句的同义表述。clearly、sensitive意思相近，people who’ve just eaten=stomach-full people。

B2.Why was there a delay on the day of the experiment? -----细节类A Because hungry people needed time to fill their stomach.B Because Radel wanted to create two groups of testees, hungry and non-hungry.不饿的C Because noon was not the right time for any experiment.D Because Radel needed time to select participants in terms of body mass index. 选项A含绝对性词，不列入答案重点排查范围。第三段最后一句话中，just eaten= non-hungry，选项B是答案。

C3.What does the writer want to tell us? ------态度观点类A Human’s senses aren’t just delivering a strict view of what’s going on in the world.B What's perceived by our senses affects our way of thinking.C Human brains can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs.D Thinking processes guarantee the normal functions of our senses.

由提问标志词“writer”可猜出此题为态度观点类题型。一般答案会出现文章最后一段的最后一两句话中，选项C含“can可能”，是答案的概率高，排查后发现该选项与最后一句话完全一致。

A4.What did the results of the experiment indicate?------推断类

A 80 words flashed on the screen too fast太快for the participant参与者to intentionally有意的perceive感知.

B Hungry people were better at identifying neutral words.

C People who had just仅仅eaten were better at identifying food-related words.

D The participants could barely仅仅perceive what they needed or what they strived for.

“indicate表明”为推断类题标志词，此类题型一般不能在文中找到一模一样的答案，需要加入自己的推测。相对、决定性词是有效解题的辅助工具。排除含绝对性词的选项C、D，第四段两处都可找到选项A的出处。

D5. What can we infer from the passage? ------推断类A 42 participants are too small a number for a serious investigation.B An experiment with hungry and non-hungry participants is not reliable.C Our thinking processes are independent of our senses.D Humans can perceive what they need without没有involving陷入high-level 高级的thinking思考processes过程.由“infer推断”确定为推断类题，选项D含相对性词，优先考虑。出处为最后一段第一句话

第十九篇Musical音乐的Robot机器人Companion伴侣Enhances提升Listener听众Experience体验Shimi, a musical companion developed开发by Georgia Tech’s技术学院Center中心for Music Technology技术, recommends songs, dances to the beat and keeps the music pumping based on基于listener feedback反馈. （第4题答案出处）The smartphone-enabled, one-foot-tall robot（第1题答案出处1）is billed as an interactive互动的―musical friend‖.（第3题答案出题1）

―Shimi is designed to change the way that people enjoy and think about their music，‖ said Professor Gil Weinberg, the robot’s creator. He will unveil the robot at the June 27th Google I/O conference in San Francisco. A band of three Shimi robots will perform for guests, dancing in sync with music created in the lab and composed according to its movements.

Shimi is essentially a docking station with a ―brain‖ powered by an Android phone. Once docked, the robot gains the sensing and musical generation capabilities of the user’s mobile device. In other words, if there’s an ―app‖ for that, Shimi is ready. For instance, by using the phone’s camera and face-detecting software，Shimi can follow a listener around the room and position its ―ears‖，or speakers, for optimal sound. Another recognition feature is based on rhythm and tempo. If the user taps a beat, Shimi analyzes it, scans the phone’s musical library and immediately plays the song that best最好的matches（第2题答案出处）the suggestion. Once the music starts，Shimi dances to the rhythm.

―Many people think that robots are limited by their programming instructions, said Music Technology Ph. D. candidate Mason Bre tan. ―Shimi shows us that robots can be creative and interactive. （第3题答案出题2）’’Future apps in the works will allow the user to shake their head in disagreement or wave a hand in the air to alert Shimi t o skip to the next song or increase/decrease the volume. The robot will also h ave the capability to recommend new music based on the user’s song choices and provide feedback on the music play list.

Weinberg hopes other developers will be inspired to create more apps to expand Shimi’s creative and interactive capabilities. ―I believe that our center is ahead of a revolution that will see more robots in homes.‖ Weinberg said.

Weinberg is in the process of commercializing Shimi through an exclusive licensing agreement with Georgia Tech. Weinberg hopes to make the robot available to consumers by the 2013 holiday season. ―If robots are going to arrive in homes, we think that they will be this kind of machines--small, entertaining and fun，（第5题答案出处）Weinberg said. ―They will enhance your life and pave the way for more intelligent service rob ots in our lives.‖本文的标题信息量很大，完全可以猜到全文将以“音乐机器人的特点，以及它们如何服务人类”的主线进行论述。练习：

D1.Which of the following is NOT true according to the first three paragraphs? ----对错类

A Shimi is a one-foot-tall robot.

B Shimi is the creator创造者of the musical companion.

C Shimi is a docking station with a― brain‖ powered by an Android phone.

D Shimi can gain the sensing and musical generation capabilities of the user’s mobile device.由于此对错题没有关键词，且涉及到文章前三段，排除范围会比较大。但可通过选项中的醒目词反向定位关键词找到答案的位置，排除选项A、C。结合“有相对性词往往是对的概念”，排除选项D。

D2. What does Shimi do if the user taps a beat? ----细节类A It stores the beat in the musical library.B It transmits the beat to the docking station.C It positions its speakers for optimal sound.D It selects a perfectly完美的-matched匹配的song and plays it in sync with that beat.选项D与答案出处的原文是同义替换，不确定的情况下可借助字典排查

D3. Which of the following about Shimi is true? ----对错类

A Robots are limited by their programming instructions, and Shimi is no exception.

B Present apps allow the user to shake their head to alert Shimi to skip to the next song.

C Existing apps allow the user to wave a hand to alert Shimi to turn up/down the volume.

D Shimi can be creative创造性的and interactive互动的.

有相对性词的优先考虑，由于about后为Shimi（机器人名），出现频率过高，需仔细寻找。

B4.What does the author want to tell us? ---主题类

A The research研究center中心is developing开发a stronger更强大的and more versatile多才多艺的Shimi.

B Weinberg only expects staffs from Georgia Tech. to develop more apps for Shimi.

C Shimi is not yet technologically ready for commercialization.

D Robots such as Shimi are created for large corporations rather than homes.出现“author”一般为主题类题型，选答案时应结合文章中心句

B5.Which of the following is Weinberg’s assertion主张?----态度观点类

A Shimi as a robotic musical companion can be applied to all types of smart phones.

B human lives will be filled with more fun if Shimi is going to arrive in homes.

C Shimi's creative and interactive capabilities are appreciated by most of its users.

D Weinberg has reached an agreement with Georgia Tech to commercialize Shimi.

通过“assertion主张”将该题分类为态度观点类题，答案在全文倒数第二句话
