Week Sixteen 科普小品一、阅读理解〔共20小题；共40.0分〕AAs any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. An infant's cries pull at the heartstrings in a way that other cries don't, researchers found.Researchers found that the sound of a baby crying can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them—whether we are parents or not. Other types of cry, including calls of animals in sadness, fail to cause the same response—suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby's cry.A team of OxfordUniversity scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds—roughly the time it takes to blink—two regions of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby's cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women—even if they had no children.You might read that men should barely notice a baby and step over it and not see any of them but it's not true. There is a specialized processing in men and women which makes sense from an evolutionary perspective that both genders would be responding to these cues. The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular sounds, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child's cries because they need to do more "fine-grained analysis". The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they played the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying or high-pitched birdsong.1. Why is a baby's crying difficult to ignore?A. Because it cries louder than others.B. Because it cries in a different manner.C. Because its cry is moving.D. Because its cry is absorbing.2. What does the underlined word "trigger" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Cause.B. Avoid.C. Remove.D. Cure.3. According to the passage, responses to a baby's cry are strong .A. in people with childrenB. in people with no childrenC. in neither men nor womenD. in both men and women4. People's response to baby's cry can be understood .A. from human's fundamental emotionB. from a view of parentsC. from a view of people who are not parentsD. from an evolutionary view5. When do grown-ups play computer games much better?A. When hearing recordings of adults crying.B. When hearing recordings of high-pitched birdsong.C. When hearing recordings of old people crying.D. When hearing recordings of babies crying.BAt last, good news to report about the "greenest government ever". A package of railway spe nding across England and Wales worth £9.4bn—of which £4.2bn will be spent on previously unannounced projects. The projects include a high capacity "electric spine" running between Yorkshire and the East Midlands down to south coast ports, and the electrification of the line between Sheffield and Bedford. Further electrification is also planned in Wales meaning two-thirds of the Welsh population will have access to electric trains.Speaking on Radio 4's Today program this morning, she said, we all know that diesel(柴油机) is massively expensive so if we can move over to electric trains, not only are they greener, they're also cheaper and also they are lighter too, so what that means is that when they are on the track they don't damage it so much, so maintenance costs go down too.Rail electrification is an important part of the Department's carbon strategy. Typically an electric train emits between 20% and 35% less carbon per passenger mile than a diesel train. This benefit will only improve as the electricity generation industry reduces its carbon levels. Electric trains also have zero emissions at the point of use, of particular benefit for air quality in pollution hot spots like city centres and mainline stations such as London Paddington.A lot depends on the decarbonisation(低碳排放) of our electricity generation, but by the time these new electrified lines are fully operational in the 2020s we should be advancing with the decarbonisation of the grid. However you calculate it,though, electric trains are greener than diesel trains.Interestingly, he added that a high-speed electric train traveling at 300km per hour—as might be seen on HS2—would still emit less CO2 per passenger kilometer than a diesel train traveling at its top speed of 220km per hour. Combine all this with the fact that railway electrification, particularly on city commuter routes, helps to reduce local air pollution—a topical subject in London this week-and it seems clear that electric trains are the way to go.6. Which parts will benefit most from electric trains?A. England and Ireland.B. England and Scotland.C. Wales and Scotland.D. Wales and England.7. What's the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. The benefits of the electric trains.B. The benefits of the diesel trains.C. The shortcoming of the electric trains.D. The shortcoming of the diesel trains.8. The underlined word "emits" means .A. gives awayB. gives overC. gives outD. gives up9. What's the author's attitude on the decarbonisation?A. Doubtful.B. Confident.C. Negative.D. Unclear.10. According to the passage, the Londoners will focus a lot on .A. railway electrificationB. high-speed electric trainsC. city commuter routesD. diesel train travelingCIt has long been believed that drinking green tea is good for the memory. Now researchers have discovered how the chemical properties of China's favorite drink affect the generation of brain cells, providing benefits for memory and spatial(空间的) learning. "There has been plenty of scientific attention on its use in helping prevent cardiovascular diseases, but now there is emerging evidence that its chemical properties may impact cellular mechanisms in the brain," said Professor Yun Bai.Professor Bai's team focused on the organic chemical EGCG, a key property of green tea. The team believed it can also have a beneficial effect against age-related degenerative(退化的) diseases. "We proposed that EGCG can improve cognitive function by impacting the generation of neuron cells, a process known as neurogenesis," said Bai. "We focused our research on the hippocampus, the part of the brain which processes information from short-term to long-term memory."The team found that EGCG boosts the production of neural progenitor cells, which like stem cells can adapt, or differentiate, into various types of cells. The team then used laboratory mice to discover if this increased cell production gave an advantage to memory or spatial learning. "We ran tests on two groups of mice, one which had imbibed EGCG and a control group," said Bai. "First the mice were trained for three days to find a visible platform in their maze(迷宫). Then they were trained for seven days to find a hidden platform."The team found that the EGCG treated mice required less time to find the hidden platform. Overall the results revealed that EGCG enhances learning and memory by improving object recognition and spatial memory. "We have shown that the organic chemical EGCG acts directly to increase the production of neural progenitor cells,both in glass tests and in mice," concluded Bai. "This helps us to understand the potential for EGCG, and green tea which contains it, to help combat degenerative diseases and memory loss."11. The new evidence suggests chemical properties .A. in black tea may impact cellular mechanisms in the brainB. in green tea may affect cellular mechanisms in the brainC. in black tea may damage cellular mechanisms in the brainD. in green tea may damage memory and spatial learning12. According to the passage, Professor Bai's team paid attentionto .A. short-term and long-term memoryB. the generation of neuron cells and hippocampusC. age-related degenerative diseasesD. the organic chemical EGCG and hippocampus13. The underlined word "imbibed" refers to .A. drunkB. stolenC. carriedD. refused14. The team found that it took more time .A. for the EGCG treated mice to find the hidden platformB. for the EGCG treated mice to find the visible platformC. for the control mice to find the hidden platformD. for the control mice to find the visible platform15. What might be the potential for EGCG?A. To decrease the blood level.B. To improve the time memory.C. To help treat memory loss.D. To cure degenerative diseases.DStudents who stay up late to cram for a test or finish a project have lower comprehension and worse performance in the classroom as a result, research shows. The old saying that "you snooze, you lose" doesn't apply to students who stay up late to cram for a test or finish a class project.The UCLA team found that regardless of how much time a high schooler normally spends on homework each day, a student who gives up sleep for extra study time will have trouble the next day understanding material in class and be more likely to struggle with an assignment or test-the opposite of the student's intent.The researchers didn't quantify(量化) the increased risk for academic problems following a longer-than-usual study session, but they said the number of problems was "surprisingly greater." The relationship held up no matter how ambitious the student was, as measured by the amount of time spent studying on a typical day, and it became stronger as students progressed through high school.The results rang true to Kai Daniels, a senior at the Los AngelesCenter for Enriched Studies. On occasions when she's stayed up late to study, she's had more trouble absorbing material in class. "I'd have to re-teach myself at night," she said. The finding makes a lot of sense, and several new studies are showing that the quantity and the quality of sleep are important for remembering new information and consolidating(巩固) learning.Students who get too little sleep don't have enough time to process what they study; even just one night of sleep deprivation(剥夺) can have a negative effect.Parents should do what they can to make sure their children have sufficient and consistent sleep. Most adolescents need just over nine hours of sleep a night, which 9% of high school students actually get, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Though a consistent study and sleep schedule are ideal, the demands that high school students face make that "infeasible(办不到的)," the researchers wrote.16. New research shows that giving away sleep for school work is .A. a good tradeB. a special tradeC. a common tradeD. a bad trade17. Students give up their sleep just to .A. understand material in classB. get more time to playC. get more time to studyD. struggle with a test18. The underlined "it" in Paragraph 3 means .A. The relationshipB. The riskC. The problemD. The student19. What does the example of Kai Daniels prove?A. The importance of staying up late to study.B. The importance of the quantity and the quality of sleep.C. The importance of remembering new information.D. The importance of consolidating learning.20. Why can NOT most students in high school get enough sleep?A. Because they should obey the school rules.B. Because their parents force them to stay up.C. Because they obey the rules of the National Sleep Foundation.D. Because they face the pressure of going to college.二、阅读理解〔共4小题；共8.0分〕Animals do amazing things. Birds migrate immense distances. Whales communicate across vast oceans. Honeybees remember familiar flowers. Crows can turn sticks into tools. Elephants can imitate sounds. Monkeys do simple math. Can animals also warn us if a natural disaster is about to strike? A few days before the Asian tsunami(海啸) several months ago, a person watched thousands of ants rush away from the beach into the forest. According to other accounts, elephants screamed and ran to higher ground as many as 10 days before disaster struck. Dogs refused to go outside.Despite decades of research, scientists don't know how to predict earthquakes and tsunamis. Maybe animals can do better. Some people say that animals have a special kind o f power for sensing the future. They call it a “sixth sense〞. The scientific evidence for an animal sixth sense, however, is slim, says John Caprio, a neurobiologist(神经生物学家) at Louisiana State University. If reports about animals escaping danger are actually true, Caprio says, the animals must be responding to real sensations, rather than using some mysterious type of otherworldly perception.When it comes to sensing earthquakes and tsunamis, feeling the vibrations(震动) they create in the earth is p robably key, says Joel Greenspan. “Animals are always in direct contact with the ground,〞Greenspan says. “We don't do that anymore. We have shoes and clothes. We pay attention to other people, sights, and sounds.〞 That way, if an animal is standing or lying around, it can sense the footsteps of predators(食肉动物) coming its way. Perhaps the animals in Asia mistook the earthquake and tsunami for a monster coming to eat them. In response, they ranin the opposite direction and ended up saving themselves.Even though scientists are far from knowing everything about why animals behave the way they do, most scientists are sure there must be rational explanations. Further research, however, might help us understand what it feels like to be a fish,a cat, an elephant, or a mouse.21. This article is mainly about .A. amazing animalsB. amazing worldC. sixth senseD. sense of danger22. Where may this article appear?A. Science news.B. Entertainment.C. Science fiction.D. Latest News on TV.23. According to Joel, how can elephants sense the coming of tsunami?A. They can feel the vibration in the earth.B. They mistook tsunami for a monster's coming.C. They were using mysterious type of perception.D. They have sixth sense which humans don't have.24.

高二英语基础阅读材料Lesson 53 Hot snake 触电的蛇What caused the fire?At last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California. Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. Forest fires are often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass. They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a firemen accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a 16，000-volt power line. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery. The explanation was simple but very unusual. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires. The snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.New words and expressions 生词和短语hot [hɒt]adj. 带电的，充电的wire ['waɪə(r)]n. 电线volt [vəult]n.伏特(电压单位) cause [kɔ:z]v.引起；n．原因powerline [ˈpauə lain] 电力线examine [ɪɡ'zæmɪn]v.检查solve [sɒlv]v.解决accidentally [ˌæksɪ'dentəlɪ]adv. 意外地，偶然地mystery [ˈmɪstri]n.谜snatch [snætʃ]v. 抓住remains [rɪˈmeɪnz]n.尸体，残骸spark [spɑ:k]n.电火花回答下列问题.1 Have firemen put out a big forest fire in California or not?

AThere are some Christmas traditions between the United Kingdom and the United States.Letters to Santa ClausIn the United States, kids usually write letters to Santa and put them in the mailbox. However, in England we throw them directly into the fire. We don’t plan to make kids cry because burning the letters can send them to the North Pole where Santa can read your Christmas wishes in the smoke. It may seem strange but it does save on postage.Hanging stockingsTraditionally, American kids hang stockings around the fireplace for Santa to fill with presents. But in the UK, we hang stockings around the bed; being surrounded by presents is a fantastic way to wake up on Christmas morning.Christmas puddingAmericans prefer to have pumpkin and pecan pies for the Christmas dessert; while we British are fond of Christmas pudding, which is a cake flavored with dried fruits and spices.Dealing with Christmas treeWe British choose to take down the Christmas trees and the decorations within 12 days of Christmas, because we hold the belief that keeping them beyond that time can bring bad luck. This is probably a tradition that Americans should consider adopting. I have seen people keep their old, brown, dry and withered Christmas trees until almost July 4.21. How do the British people deal with "Letters to Father Christmas"?A. Emailing them to Santa.B. Hiding them in the mailbox.C. Putting them in the stockings.D. Throwing them straight into the fire.22. Why do the British take down the Christmas trees as early as possible?A. To stop it from drying.B. To expect good luck.C. To save money.D. To reuse it for the next year.23. What do Christmas traditions between Britain and America have in common?A. Writing letters to Santa.B. Making pumpkin puddings.C. Hanging stockings around the bed.D. Keeping Christmas trees for months.BI am Tony, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2019, I have done 99 trips-of those, 56 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted (移植) in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.Last year, I had a trip where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: "Well, I’m really sorry, but I’ve got some bad news for you - there are no flights to Washington." So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: "In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom." She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, rerouted (改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, I’m consciously aware that in that box I’ve got something that is potentially going to save someone’s life.24. What does the underlined word "courier" mean in paragraph 1？A. provider.B. collector.C. delivery man.D. medical doctor.25. Why does Tony have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A. The operation needs that much time.B. The donor can only wait for that long.C. He can’t stay away from his job too long.D. The ice can only last such a period of time.26. Why did the woman arrange a new flight for Tony?A. To help save a patient.B. To avoid being hit by Tony.C. To get the stem cell.D. To drop everything.27. What does the author think of his job?A. Tiresome.B. Interesting.C. Meaningless.D. Significant.CThe famous British writer Charles Dickens, who penned the letter that led the signatures of resistance to street music in 1864, would be pleased to hear that, to be a busker (街头艺人) in London today, one must pass a strict "interview" first. Each busker must go through a shortlist process and then perform live in one of underground stations in front of three judges. Each musician must perform two songs (one prepared by themselves and the other selected by judges from a submitted set list). The judging process reviews the musician’s songs, musicality, technique skill and performance. If successful, the musician will receive a 12-month license to perform in the street. Last year, more than 600 musicians attended the "interview" and only 70 got license.The method of tipping buskers is changing. London is the first city in the world to introduce the electronic payment system (EPS). London mayor (市长) Sadiq Khan described London as "a powerhouse of music". "For London to keep its status as a global capital of music, it’s vitally important that we support the stars of tomorrow," Khan said. "Busking helps them show their talent and gives them the chance to perform in front of huge numbers of people. The new method means more people will now be able to show their support for the capital city’s many street performers because it’s more convenient for them to do so."Charlotte Campbell is one such busker who’s been helping to trial the project. After only two weeks, she said it had "already had a significant effect on the contributions I’ve received." She’s noticed when one person taps the reader to donate, others who witness the act often follow suit, suggesting people are more than willing to adopt the new way of rewarding buskers.28. What was Charles Dickens’ attitude towards street music in London?A. Favorable.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Cautious.29. What is the 1st paragraph mainly about?A. The long history of street music.B. The way of playing street music.C. The buskers’ competition to get a license.D. The introduction of buskers in London.30. Why did London mayor promote the new scheme?A. To make more people help the buskers.B. To show London is full of buskers.C. To catch up with modern art trends.D. To reform street music’s performance.31. How did London people respond to the EPS according to Charlotte Campbell?A. They were opposed to it.B. They accepted it quickly.C. They paid no attention to it.D. They thought it made no difference.DAfter Bernini broke his neck and lost all movements below his shoulders when he was 18, his brain still told his hands how to move-but the message couldn’t get through the injured part that connects his brain to other parts of his body. Now, thanks to recent advances in electrical stimulation (刺激) technology, Bernini can once again grasp, pour, and even play Guitar Hero. To do so, he uses a microelectrode array (MEA) that reads his brain’s signals and sends them through wires to something like a sleeve on his arm that electronically stimulates his muscles.In the past years, researchers have used several approaches to guide patients like Bernini to move their hands. In some systems, researchers implanted (植入)sensors in shoulder muscles that patients could still control, allowing them to move one hand by contracting muscles in the opposite shoulder. Other systems use brain imp lants similar to those in the new study, but to control robotic arms, rather than the patient’s own muscles. But never before has a patient been able to precisely move his hand using the same neural (神经的)signals that controlled his hand before his injury.After implanting the MEA in Bernini’s brain, researchers connected it to a computer. Bernini trained the system to connect patterns of neural signals to specific movements by repeatedly mirroring the movements of an imaginary hand on a computer screen. Soon, Bernini could hold large objects like glasses and lift small objects like straws. He could also move each finger on his own just by thinking about it, which previous systems had never achieved. And it was absolutely an amazing moment.32. How is Bernini now?A. He does well in playing the guitar.B. He has recovered from his neck injury.C. His thoughts can control his hand movements.D. His shoulder muscles guide his hand movement.33. What did researchers want to do through brain implants in the past?A. Control the patients’ hands.B. Guide robots to help patients.C. Help patients’ own muscles contract.D. Repair patients’ injured neural signals.34. What’s the breakthrough in Bernini’s case, compared with previous studies?A. He can hold and lift objects.B. He can move each finger independently.C. He can recognize his specific movements.D. He can use neural signals for hand moving.35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Moving Hands by Contracting Muscles.B. Using New Systems for Muscle Injuries.C. Sending Neural Signals by Wires.D. Linking thoughts to Movements.第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
高二社会热点英语阅读理解25题
高二社会热点英语阅读理解25题1<背景文章>Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the field of healthcare. In recent years, AI has shown great potential in various aspects of medical care. One of the most significant applications of AI in healthcare is in disease diagnosis. AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of medical data, such as medical images and patient records, to detect diseases at an early stage. This can lead to earlier treatment and better patient outcomes.Another area where AI is making a significant impact is in drug discovery. AI can help researchers identify potential drug candidates more quickly and efficiently than traditional methods. By analyzing vast amounts of biological data, AI can predict which compounds are likely to be effective in treating specific diseases.However, the use of AI in healthcare also poses some risks. One concern is the potential for errors in diagnosis or treatment recommendations. If the AI algorithms are not properly trained or validated, they may provide incorrect results. Another risk is the issue of data privacy. As AI systems rely on large amounts of patient data, there is a risk of data breaches and unauthorized access.Despite these risks, the potential benefits of AI in healthcare areenormous. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more innovative applications of AI in the medical field.1. What is one of the significant applications of AI in healthcare?A. Medical education.B. Disease diagnosis.C. Hospital management.D. Patient transportation.答案：B。

(英语)高二英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)
（英语）高二英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Sometimes we start a day with the previous day still in mind. We think about the mistakes we made in the previous day, how things went wrong, and how we felt bad about it. No wonder it becomes difficult to focus on the current day.Here are some steps on how to start your new day fresh:⒈Take time to evaluate your dayAt the end of a day, take some time to think about it. The purpose of this thinking time is not to regret how bad your day was, how things went wrong, or how people treated you badly. This won't do you any good. Instead, the purpose of this thinking time is to extract（吸取）lessons which you can bring to the following day.⒉Make a commitment to apply the lessonsAfter you extract the lessons, you should make a commitment to apply them. To do so, find some actionable things you can do to apply the lessons. Next, remind yourself to do them. You may write them down if you want to.⒊“Close” your dayAfter you have spent the time to think about the day and extract the lessons, make a decision to “close” the day. You are done with it; don't think about it anymore.⒋Bring only the lessons to the next day and nothing elseAfter you “dose” a day, you should not bring anything ou t of it to the next day except for the lessons you extract. Focus on applying the lessons to the present. This way you will be able to start your day fresh without the burden of yesterday.（1）What will happen if we think too much about the past?A. There will be a disaster.B. There will be good results.C. We won't have a peaceful mind.D. We surely won't finish today's task.（2）When should we draw lessons from the past mistakes?A. At the end of a day.B. When we make mistakes.C. At the beginning of a day.D. When we regret making the mistakes.（3）Why should we extract lessons from the past day?A. To set them down.B. To consider them again.C. To make a better decision.D. To apply them for future use.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）D【解析】【分析】本文为应用文。

高二英语话题阅读材料精选情商、智商哪个更重要？(对应话题：Lesson1 EQ:IQ)I happened to think about IQ and EQ on my way home this afternoon. So, I’d like to try to say something about them.Due to the nation’s family planning policy, usually a couple onl y has a kid. Young father and mother pay much attention to the smooth and healthy growing of their baby even when it is still in its mother’s womb (子宫). So, traditionally speaking, most of the kids have quite higher IQ. The difference of IQ between kids are quite limited.As EQ is concerned, I think the later experience of a kid in the society (home, schools, companies etc.) is of vital importance to shape his or her character. Even two kids have similar IQ, there could be a larger gap between their EQs if they have varied life experience.What kind of people could be more possible to succeed? No doubt, the type of people with quite good combination of IQ and EQ! In my opinion, higher EQ at least includes the following aspects: 1. The ability to stand difficulty and setbacks; 2. Being optimistic towards any uncertainty ahead and having confidence to overcome difficulties facing him or her; 3. With rich inside world to feel others’ blue moods and know how to help them solve their problems; 4. Skillful in communicating with people from all walks of life ...When I observe colleagues and friends around, I do get my view. Even, I could predict that those people who could perfectly combine their IQs and EQs will be the winners in the society! Those talented graduates from famous colleges and universities couldn’t achieve a lot if they don’t know how to get along well with their colleagues! Individualism is far away from success in the integrated world. Team work needs cooperation consciousness which is an important element of EQ.To be honest, I still have a long way to go to improve my EQ to perfect myself! How about you?1.
