高考英语二轮复习专项能力提升练阅读理解考点分类练8词句猜测题(2)

考点分类练(八) 词句猜测题(2)(限时:25分钟)Passage1(2023湖北武汉二模)Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone”thinks the same way?Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is pletely tailored to you and your beliefs,reading along without the immediate realization?A social media echo chamber(回音室) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leave out opposing viewpoints and differing voices.Social media sites like Meta,Twitter,and YouTube connect groups of likeminded users together based on shared content preferences.As a result,people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions.Social media panies therefore rely on algorithms(算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention.The algorithms focus on what we “like”,and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us fortable.In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media,we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our fort zone.While this bees increasingly challenging,there are things we can do.The first step is to beef up your media consumption sources.Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber.Next,read each thing you see with a critical eye.Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly stly,attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information.By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions,we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.1.What is a result of the social media echo chamber?A.People contact likeminded online users effectively.B.People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.C.People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.D.People only get information confirming their beliefs.2.Whatdoes“beefup”underlinedinparagraph3mean?A.Track.B.Improve.C.Provide.D.Identify.3.Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?A.Criticizing fake news on social media.B.Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.C.Researching primary sources of information.D.Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.4.What is the purpose of the text?A.To call on people to use algorithms frequently.B.To ask people not to take in information blindly.C.To promote the use of various social media sites.D.To inform people of new technology developments.Passage2(2023湖南邵阳二模)Our planet Earth is full of life and has incredible biodiversity.Biological diversity or biodiversity is the base of human existence and fundamental to its wellbeing.Species are the building blocks of this life on Earth,and it is believed that the species that are at present globally found have continuously evolved over 65 million years since the Last Mass Extinction.However,the nature and extent of our planet’s biodiversity at all levels have not been pletely evaluated y et.Thus,the exact number of species found in the world remains unknown.Over the years,with the advancement of scientific knowledge and the discovery of more new species,it has been approximated that there are,at present,10 million to 14 million species on Earth,of which 1.2 million species have been databased.This means that still more than 86% of the terrestrial(陆生的) and 91% of the marine species remain unknown.Every year,taxonomists(分类学家)describe thousands of species,some of which are pletely new to science,while in some cases,the species and subspecies are closely examined and determined whether they can be considered distinct species.A study has revealed that over 99.9% of all species amounting to more than 5 billion species that ever lived here,are believed to be extinct.At present,our planet houses millions of species,among which 86% live on land,13% in the deepsubsurface,and a mere 1% in the oceans.However,biodiversity is not evenly distributed on Earth,and its number varies greatly on different continents.The undiscovered and misidentified species slow our ability to understand patterns and changes in global biodiversity and the rate of species extinctions(灭绝).Even after several years of taxonomic studies,only 14% of terrestrial species and 9% of marine species have been officially added to the centraldatabase.Necessarily,some species will bee extinct before researchers realize they ever existed.5.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“marine”meaninparagraph1?A.Rare.B.Oceanic.C.Endangered.D.Novel.6.What do taxonomists usually do?A.Examine distribution of species.B.pare species from subspecies.C.Decide the situation of the species.D.Describe diversity of newfound species.7.Which of the following can describe the distribution of the Earth’s biodiversity?A.Unequal.B.Accumulative.C.Average.D.Maximum.8.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The central database covers all species.B.The rate of species extinctions is rather high.C.Many undiscovered species have been extinct.D.Humans know little about endangered species.Passage3(2023辽宁鞍山一模)Humans are developing new places to live in.In the south of Silicon Valley sits the Monterey Peninsula,where you’ll find a moveable munity that’s being designed as a rest region for the region’s tech elit es(精英).Walden Monterey was founded in 2016 by developer Nick Jekogian,who set out to turn the 609acre land into a coastal “agrihood” munity,a growing trend among the tech elites in which they avoid the idea of belonging to golf munities,unlike whatthe previous generations have done,and instead enjoy agricultural neighborhoods that focus on nature,farms,and outdoor living.The property plans to build 22 homes in total,with the lots they sit costing about $1 million each(three lots have been sold,as of September 2018).After the sales are made,buyers can work with a team of more than 20 architects assembled by Jekogian to then pay additional millions each for home construction.A key step in the buying process involves potential buyers actually visiting the land.Jekogian invites people to stay in “moveable rooms” or small moveable glass houses,which allow them to experience what living on the land would actually be like.But now,Walden Monterey will soon provide a new way to try out the land.The design studio DFA,founded by Laith Sayigh,was approached by Walden Monterey to design a house for potential buyers to stay each in while they think about purchase decisions.The 3Dprinted houses,named Galini Sleeping Pods,are 300 square feet in size,can be moved anywhere,are powered by solar panels,wind turbines and Tesla batteries,and will cost about $250,000 each.Sayigh told BusinessInsider that they’ re not just a future staple for the Walden Monterey munity,but that they represent the next generation of construction technology.9.What life do the tech elites like according to the text?A.Getting close to nature.B.Playing golf after work.C.Living in a big house.D.Having a house in Silicon Valley.10.What’s the purpose of designing Galini Sleeping Pods?A.To attract more people to visit the design studio DFA.B.To give a rule for the future construction technology.C.To call on architects to build more moveable munities.D.To offer buyers chances to try living in a moveable house.11.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“they”inthelastparagraphreferto?A.Solar panels.B.The 3Dprinted houses.C.Tesla batteries.D.The Walden Monterey munity.12.What can we infer from the text?A.The style of the houses depends on buyers’ own ideas.B.Buyers should pay off the expense of the houses in one attempt.C.The money spent on constructing the houses is more than the cost of the lots.D.Buyers of the houses are forbidden to get involved in the process of constructing. 答案:考点分类练(八) 词句猜测题(2)Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。

专题能力提升练十七限时30分钟(2015·浙江六校联考)When we asked Oprah to pick the 10 books she had read in the past decade that had mattered to her most, she was momentarily stumped. For someone who describes herself as “inspired, challenged, and sustained”by books, it was almost impossible for Oprah to stay within our limit of 10. Still, she offered up the following, but she emphasized that it was only a sampler of delightful titles that have also managed to teach her—and all of us—a few things.1. Discover the Power Within YouBy Eric Butterworth256 pages; Harper OneAdvice from the internationally known spiritual teacher.2. A New EarthBy Eckhart Tolle316 pages; PlumeThere’s a reason Oprah picked this for her Book Club in 2008—and that she gave audience members Post—it pens along with their copies. So much wisdom, so little time! A real-life guide to living your best life.3. The Poisonwood BibleBy Barbara Kingsolver576 pages; Harper PerennialThis novel is about a family involved in the political trouble of postcolonial Africa. It established Kingsolver as one of our wisest observers of history, politics, and human nature.4. NightBy Elie Wiesel120 pages; Hill and WangA memoir(回忆录)of a childhood suffered in concentration camps during the Holocaust. It’s horrific but uplifting. “I gain courage from his courage, ”Oprah says.5. A Fine BalanceBy Rohinton Mistry624 pages; VintageA Dickensian novel about India during the Emergency. Like the aftermath of September 11, it teaches us about cultures we haven’t understood. “It takes us out of our own little shell and exposes us to a whole other world out there, ”Oprah says.6. East of EdenBy John Steinbeck608 pages; PenguinThis classic is about good and evil as played out in alate-19th-century California ranch family. If you didn’t read it in high school, read it now. If you did, reread it!7. The Story of Edgar SawtelleBy David Wroblewski576 pages; Harper CollinsA kind of Hamlet on the prairie, this is the wrenching(令人痛苦的)story of a mute boy and his dog. Oprah compares it to East of Eden and To Kill a Micking bird.8. The Pillars of the EarthBy Ken Follett973 pages; PenguinAbout the challenges of building cathedrals in 12th-century England. This novel couldn’t be more different in setting, time, and plot from the author’s breakthrough success—Eye of the Needle. Oprah declares it simply “great”.9. The Bluest EyeBy Toni Morrison224 pages; PenguinHow to choose among the great Morrison’s novels? Start with this one about a girl who thinks she has to have blue eyes to be beautiful. Oprah considered it one of the best in a crowded Morrison field.10. The Known WorldBy Edward P. Jones400 pages, Harper CollinsWhen this book was published in 2003, it shocked everybody with its description of slave-owning blacks before the Civil War. A daring, unusual examination of race.【文章大意】当我们让奥普拉给出一些读书的建议时, 她推荐了10本她读过的书。

限时30分钟
Under certain situations, a crowd has grown to a big and tight enough size and it reaches a dangerous state at which the slightest push is enough to send it into a stampede. Panicked crowds move fast and let out a large amount of energy, usually compared to the energy made by a running train: once a crowd gets moving it is very hard to stop, and the flow of people could easily sweep you off your feet.
It is interesting to see that the force of only 6 or 7 people pushing in the same direction can cause up to 1, 000 pounds of force—enough to break brick walls. During a deadly stampede, people can even die standing up. People die when pressure is put to their bodies in a front to back direction, causing them not to be able to breathe.
If you are in a crowd, the first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and find different exits. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out.
Make yourself aware of the type of ground you are standing on, and know that in a crowd of moving people wet ground can cause you
to fall.
When in danger, a few seconds can make a difference, giving you the possibility of taking advantage of your escaping route. Always stay closer to the escape route. If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure, do not stand still or sit down, because you could easily get trampled. Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd; take advantage of any space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.
Keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxer—it gives you movement and protects your chest. If you fall, get up quickly. If you can’t get up because you are injured, get someone to pull you back up. If you have kids, lift them up.
If you fall and cannot get up, keep moving in the same direction of the crowd, or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms; do not lie on your stomach or back.
The worst thing is to be pushed by the crowd against an unmoving object. Try to stay away from walls, fences or something like this, as the crowd pressure can build up rapidly.
【文章大意】人群中发生蜂拥事件会造成大量人员伤亡, 作者在本文中主要讲述了在处于人群中时, 应该如何去做以防意外发生。

1. In a stampede people may die standing up mainly because______.
A. they can’t breathe freely
B. they push in the same direction。
