2020届高考英语一轮阅读理解热门话题针对训练-科教科普类(1)
科教科普类1、You can remember the face, but can‘t put a name to it. Many of us have been caught in this embarrassing situation. But researchers say it is often easier to remember someone's name than what they look like.Twenty-four volunteers were shown 40 pictures of strangers, paired with random(随机的) names. They were given time to memorize the faces and names before being tested on which they thought they had seen before.The participants could remember up to 85 per cent of the names but only 73 per cent of the faces. When they were shown a different picture of the same person, the participants could recall only 64 per cent of faces, according to the study, led by the University of York.That may be because faces are only recognized visually, while names can be both spoken and written down so appear in our visual and audio memory. When people were shown famous people, they also remembered their names more accurately than their photographs. Co-author Dr Rob Jenkins, from the university's psychology department, said, "Our study suggests that, while many people may be bad at remembering names, they are likely to be even worse at remembering faces. This will surprise many people as it is against our initial understanding. Our life experiences with names and faces have misled us about how our minds work." Remembering names gets harder with age, leading to many uncomfortable moments for middle-aged people when they run into acquaintances.But to study whether names are harder to recall than faces, the researchers, whose findings are published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, used a “fair test” where the participants were presented with strangers’ names and faces.1.What can we know according to the research in Paragraph 3?A.It is certain that names are harder to recall than faces.B.Remembering names is more easily than remembering faces.C.Most participants can remember the face not the name to it.D.The participants can recall 73% faces of the same person.2.Which of the following will the author agree with?A.Age will weaken the ability to remember names.B.Unlike faces, names are only recognized visually.C.Faces can appear in our visual and audio memory.D.Rob Jenkins has proved people can remember faces better.3.What does the un derlined word “ initial” in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Clear.B.Original.C.Unusual.D.Creative.4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.People can not remember strangers' names and faces.B.Recalling names is more difficult than rememberingC.The researcher uses the same method to study another problem.D.Whether names are harder to recall than faces is further proved.2、Going to bed at the same time every night could give your child's brain a boost,a recent study found.Researchers at University College London found that when 3-year-olds havea regular bedtime they perform heller on cognitive(认知的)tests administered at age7 than children whose bedtimes weren't consistent(一致的). The findings representa new turn, compared with the former research, which shows that inadequate sleep in children and adolescents hurts academic performance arid overall health.The latest study considered other factors that can influence bedtime and cognitive development, such as skipping breakfast and having a television in their bedroom. After accounting for these, the study found that going to bed very early or very late didn't affect cognitive performance, so long as the bedtime was consistent.The study, published online, examined data on bedtimes and cognitive scores for 11,178 children. These children, aged 3,5 and 7,were participants in the U.K.'s Millennium Cohort Study, a nationally representative long-term study of infants born between 2000 and 2001.The researchers suggested that having inconsisteni bedtimes may hurt a child's cognitive development by disturbing children's regular sleeping habits. It also might result in their lack of sleep, thus affecting brain development."Insufficient sleep and irregular bedtimes may each affect cognitive development through different mechanisms(机制)," Dr. Owens said. "The kid who has both problems may face an even higher risk of these cognitive injuries.”A consistent pattern of sleep behavior mattered. "Those who had irregular bedtimes at all three ages had significantly poorer scores than those who had regular bedtimes," Dr. Sacker said. This was especially true for girls who didn't establish consistent bedtimes between 3 and 7 years old.1.The former research believes that __________.ck of sleep does harm to academic achievementsB.irregular bedtime influences brain developmentC.good cognitive performance lies in the quality of sleepD.ages make a difference to cognitive development2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Children of all ages are involved in the study.B.Going to bed late affects cognitive performance.C.Inconsistent bedtime has a higger effect on girls than boys.D.The study was conducted internationally.3.It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A.the former research is totally wrongB.researchers consider many possible factors when researchingC.kids with lack of sleep are likely to suffer more cognitive injuriesD.going to bed early didn't affect cognitive performance4.What's the best title of the passage?A.Adequate sleep does count.B.Going to bed early gives a brain a boost.C.Consistent bedtime really matters.D.The reasons for children's cognitive development.3、Over the past two decades, the Mission : Impossible film series has always been connected with Tom Cruise. No matter what happens, he's always been Ethan Hunt, the stubborn agent who always gives 110 percent to secure other people’s safety, regardless of his own.Hunt seizes as a kind of action hero, but there’s an interesting change in ;Impossible—Ghost Protocol (2011) , the fourth movie of the series. In it, Hunt faces personal consequences for his heroic acts, as he has to leave his beloved wife Julia behind to save the world. And this idea continues in Mission : Impossible——Fallout, which arrived in Chinese mainland cinemas on Aug. 31.In the latest film of the series, Hunt's dilemma is even bigger than before, when he's forced to make a choice between saving someone he loves and the entire world.The theme of the "moral dilemma" , in which the hero must choose between two very difficult options, is common in cinema.Characters like James Bond and Batman often face moral dilemmas of their own. Bond is loyal to Britain and spares no effort to finish every task, but this often comes at the cost of following the rules. For most people, killing someone even for a good reason isn't acceptable. However, Bond has only two choices in front of him : kill his enemies or be killed.Differing from Bond, however, Batman never kills a single person in film The Dark Knight (2008). He refuses to break his own moral code (准则 ). Indeed,it seems Batman is a different kind of hero, one who puts his own morals above anything else.As is mentioned on the poster for Fallout : "Some missions are not a choice" , which means that good intentions often come back lo haunt (困扰) us. So, superheroes like Ethan Hunt and his Impossible Mission Force need to make the right choice by saving the world again. As the character Benjamin Parker, Spider-Man's uncle in the movie series, wisely said, ''With great power comes great responsibility."1.Who is the hero in the film series Mission :Impossible?A.Benjamin Parker.B.James Bond.C.Batman.D.Ethan Hunt.2.What do the three action heroes mentioned in the passage have in common?A.They all kill their enemies.B.They all have the same moral code.C.They are all cruel and cold-blooded.D.They are all stuck in moral dilemmas.3.According to the passage, we know that ___________.A.killing someone for a good reason is acceptableB.great power goes hand in hand with responsibilityC.Mission :Impossible——Ghost Protocol will be on in China soonD.Ghost Protocol doesn't have the same theme as other films of the series4.What’s the best title of the passage?A.SuperheroesB.Ethan Hunt Coming BackC.Making a Hard ChoiceD.Tom Cruise Was Caught in a Dilemma4、Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or people as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is takinghoney from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.1.Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A.It's small in size.B.It's hidden in trees.C.It's covered with wax.D.It's hard to recognize.2.What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?.A.A bee.B.A bird.C.A honey seeker.D.A beekeeper3.The honey guide is special in the way________.A.it gets its foodB.it goes to churchC.it sings in the forestD.it reaches into bees' nests4.What can be the best title for the text?A.Wild BeesB.Wax and HoneyC.Beekeeping in AfricaD.Honey-Lover's Helper5、“The altitude below 6,500 meters is where most activities such as mountaineering and training take place, so it has ihe most waste,” said Nyima Tsering, director of the Tibet Sports Bureau.The bureau has established an environmental protection team and taken measures to settle the high-altitude garbage issue, with the aim of giving visitors the best view of Mount Qomolangma, the world's highest peak.It becomes harder for volunteers to work as the altitude increases. Usually they carry four or five cans of oxygen to breathe, and even then, they have to be very careful while working.There is a cleanup system to help the volunteers do their job more efficiently, Nyima Tsering said.Local herders(牧民) are employed to collect rubbish in places below 6,500 meters, while professional guides and mountaineers do the work in higher places. Each mountaineer has lo bring 8 kilograms of rubbish clown from the mountain to be rewardefl. Aftemards, the rubbish is sorted and delivered to Mount Qomolangma Nature Reserve Management Bureau for final disposal (处理).Starting this year, the bureau repaired dry toilets on the mountain by installing simple storage tanks for easier packaging, disposal and transportation of human waste.To step up the efforts, the bureau has involved more social forces in the cause. For instance, with the help of charity funds, the bureau set up the Tibet Himalaya Mountain Environmental Protection Fund, the first of its kind in China.The fund passed the government's approval in March 2018. It will nol only help protect Tibet's environment, but also inspire farmers and herders to get involved in the campaign and allow them to make money through environmental protection.Mountaineering itself will also be strictly controlled. When the 2018 mountaineering season ends in autumn, the spot will not open again to hikers this year and places above 5,100 meters will be closed to tourists for better environment management.1.What is probably the biggest challenge for the volunteers?A.Some garbage is too high to collect.B.They are short of hands.C.The air is too thin to breathe.D.Oxygen cans are in short supply.2.Why are local herders employed to help collect rubbish?A.To reduce the cost of the cleanup.B.To increase the cleanup efficiency.C.To help them fight poverty.D.To make the cleanup less risky.3.Which of the following will pay the herders and farmers involved?A.The Environmental Protection Fund.B.The Tibet Sports Department.C.The professional guides and mountaineers.D.The environmental protection team.4.What’s the purpose of the text?A.To describe the mountain scenery.B.To look for more volunteers.C.To introduce a series of measures.D.To encourage more donation.6、 We all have defining moments in our lives ---- meaningful experiences tha tstand out in our memory. Many of them owe a great deal to chance: a lucky encounter(相遇) with someone who becomes the love of your life. A new teacher who spots a talent you didn’t know you had. These moments seem to be the product of fate or luck. We can’t control them.But is that true? No necessarily. Defining moments shape our lives, but we don’t have to wait for them to happen. We can be the authors of them. It is possible to create defining moments if we understand more about hem. Our research shows that they all share a set of common elements. We start by asking: why do we remember certain experiences and forget others? In the case of big days, such as weddings, the answer is pretty clear----it’s a celebration that is grand in scale and rich in emotion. No surprise that it’s more memorable than a maths lesson. But for other experiences in life ----from holidays ot work projects----it’s not so clear why we reme mver what we do.Consider an experiment in which participants were asked to submerge(浸入) their hands for 60 seconds in buckets filled with 14℃ water. (Remember 14℃ water feels much colder than 14℃ air.) They were then asked to submerge their hands for 90 seconds instead of 60, but during the final 30 seconds, the water warmed up to 15℃. The participants were then given a choice: would you rather repeat the first trial or the second?Psychologists have explained the reasons for this puzzling result. When people assess an experience, they tend to forget or ignore its length. Instead they seem to rate the experience based on two key moments: the best or worst moment, known as the peak, and the ending.In the participants’ memories, what stood out for them was that the longer trial ended more comfortably than the shorter one. So when we assess our experiences,we don’t average our minute-by-minute feelings. Rather, we tend to remember flagship moments: the peaks, the pits(低谷) and the transitions. What we don’t remember are the bits in between----sometimes there is little to distinguish one week from the next.Partly this is because there may be only a dozen moments in your ife that show who you are----those are big defining moments. But there are smaller experiences, too, in the context of a memorable holiday, romantic date or work achievement. Once we understand how we remember certain moments and why, we can start to create more moments that matter.1. How does the author udnerstand defining moments?A. We can create defining moments in our lives.\B. Defining moments ar ejust ou tof our control.C. No similarities exist between defining moments.D. Defining moments consist of smaller experiences.2. We can learn from the experiment that _____.A. the striking moments are more likely to be remembered.B. the length of an experience determines our memory of itC. it is meaningful to distinguish the bits in bdetween flagship moments.D. all the components of an experience should be equally remembered3. What would probably be discussed in the following part of the text?A. What to prepare for life’s trials.B. Why to create defining moments.C. Whom to owe our good fates to.D.

2020全国高考英语汇编阅读之科普知识类一（2020安徽卷）BRecordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝)-either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops.In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a close to each family.From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.60.

Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Young elephants ignore African honeybees.B. Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.C.

2020年英语全国卷一完形填空详解
2020年英语全国卷一完形填空详解The 2020 National English Exam Cloze Test was a challenging yet rewarding experience for students across China. This comprehensive assessment not only evaluated students' English proficiency but also provided valuable insights into their critical thinking and language comprehension skills. In this detailed analysis, we will delve into the key aspects of the cloze test, examining the structure, content, and strategies employed by successful test-takers.The cloze test is a widely used format in language assessments, where test-takers are required to fill in the blanks within a given text with the appropriate words. The 2020 National English Exam Cloze Test followed this format, presenting students with a passage that had multiple blanks to be filled. The passage covered a range of topics, from scientific advancements to cultural traditions, ensuring that test-takers demonstrated a well-rounded understanding of the English language.One of the primary challenges of the cloze test lies in the ability to comprehend the overall meaning and context of the passage.Successful test-takers must not only possess a strong vocabulary but also the capacity to analyze the surrounding text and identify the appropriate word that fits the blank. This requires a deep understanding of grammar, sentence structure, and the nuances of the English language.In the 2020 National English Exam Cloze Test, the passage covered a topic related to the development of artificial intelligence and its impact on various sectors. The blanks within the text tested students' knowledge of vocabulary, idioms, and collocations, as well as their ability to recognize the logical flow of the passage and the intended meaning.One of the key strategies employed by top-performing students was the careful reading and analysis of the entire passage before attempting to fill in the blanks. This approach allowed them to grasp the overall context and theme of the text, which in turn aided them in selecting the most suitable words to complete the gaps. Additionally, these students demonstrated a strong command of English grammar, enabling them to identify the appropriate parts of speech and verb tenses required for each blank.Another crucial aspect of the cloze test was the ability to recognize and utilize contextual clues. Successful test-takers were adept at identifying the relationships between words, phrases, and sentenceswithin the passage, using this information to infer the missing words. This skill required a deep understanding of English syntax, semantics, and the ability to think critically about the intended meaning of the text.The 2020 National English Exam Cloze Test also assessed students' vocabulary knowledge, particularly their familiarity with academic and technical terms. Test-takers who had a broad and diverse vocabulary were able to identify the precise words that fit the context of the passage, demonstrating their overall proficiency in the English language.In addition to the cloze test, the 2020 National English Exam also included other sections, such as reading comprehension, grammar, and writing. The cloze test, however, remained a crucial component, as it evaluated students' ability to apply their language skills in a practical and contextual manner.Preparing for the cloze test requires a multi-faceted approach. Students must not only focus on expanding their vocabulary but also develop a strong understanding of English grammar, sentence structure, and the ability to analyze and interpret contextual clues. Regular practice with various cloze test samples, as well as exposure to a wide range of English texts, can greatly enhance students' performance in this section of the exam.Furthermore, effective time management is crucial during the cloze test. Test-takers must learn to balance their time wisely, allocating sufficient attention to each blank while ensuring they complete the entire passage within the allotted time frame.In conclusion, the 2020 National English Exam Cloze Test was a comprehensive assessment that challenged students' English language skills. Successful test-takers demonstrated a deep understanding of vocabulary, grammar, and the ability to analyze and interpret contextual information. By adopting effective strategies, such as careful reading, identifying contextual clues, and honing their language skills, students can maximize their performance in the cloze test and achieve their academic goals.。
