阅读理解：细节理解（二）ATaking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the U．S. interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly twothirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it.Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone (荷尔蒙) closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine，” explai ned Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring ‘Aha！’ moment to us.”Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson, author of Your Creative Brain, “A showering hour may turn into an ‘incubation (孵化) period’ for your ideas.”Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking，” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn't just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind.语篇解读：一项科学实验证实淋浴对人们身心有益，尤其可以激发大脑的创造力。

B(2018·广西桂林十八中模拟)No one can deny that buttons are an important clothing device. But, can they rise to the level of art? Organizers of an exhibit in New York City think so.Peter Souleo Wright organized “The Button Show” at Rush Arts Gallery in th e Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Eleven artists used the small, ordinary objects to create sculptures, portraits and wearable art. Some of the works are political, some are personal and others are just fun.Wright said each artist reimagines and repurp oses the buttons to make art.“What I tried to do with this show，” he said, “was to look at artists who were promoting that level of craft.”He said he wanted the button art to be comparable to a painting “because of the amount of detail and precision in th e work”．Artist Beau McCall produced “A Harlem Hangover”. It looks like a wine bottle that fell over on a table. A stream of connected red buttons hang over the side, like wine flowing down. Similar red buttons form a small pool on the floor.McCall layers buttons of different shapes and sizes to create the bottle. The stitching that holds them together is also part of the artistic design.For San Franciscobased artist Lisa Kokin, buttons are highly personal. After her father died in 2001, she created a portrait of him using only buttons. That memorial to her father led to other button portraits, including those of activists Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez.Others use buttons for details. Artist Amalia Amaki of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, placed them on and around old photographs. Los Angeles artist Camilla Taylor attached buttons to three large sculptures that look like headless animals with long, narrow legs.“The Button Show” ends at March 12. The Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation paid for the exhibition. The foundation was created in 1995 by the Simmons brothers: artist Danny, hiphop producer Russell and rapper Reverend Run. The foundation seeks to bring the artists to urban youth and to provide support for new artists.A．To show the importance of buttons.B．To support the new artists.C．To raise the button show to the level of art.D．To create sculptures and portraits.解析：选C 细节理解题。
高考英语一轮复习提能练(十二)Unit2Healthyeating(含解析)
Unit 2 Healthy eatingⅠ.阅读理解A(2020·东北三省四市高考模拟) Until last year，Borris would never turn down a pork steak.By the time his owner，Annemarie Formoy，entered him in the PDSA Pet Fit Club petition，he was 28kg—almost double his remended weight.Thanks to a tailored sixmonth diet and exercise，he is now 7kg lighter.Borris，at his heaviest，was not alone.The worldwide rate of pet obesity(肥胖症) lies between 22% and 44%.The reasons are fairly predictable.Owners of overweight dogs feed them more snacks and table leftovers，are more likely to have their pets present as they prepare their own meals and are less likely to walk them daily.Owners of obese cats tend to use food as a reward and play with them less.But obesity also seems to be occurring even in some wild animals that aren't being overfed or underexercised.If these findings are true，something else must be driving obesity and uncovering those could help solve our own problems with the condition.“Labradors are consistently the headline act when it es to overweight dogs，”says Eleanor Raffan，a veterinarian and geneticist.She and fellow researchers discovered that a genetic mutation(基因变异) present in around a quarter of Labradors was associated with obesity.For each copy of the mutation—which occurred in a gene called POMC—a dog was about 2kg heavier.Most of the animals the researchers studied had one copy of the mutation，but fewer had two.“These are dogs always in the kitchen when owners are preparing food，sticking around scouring_a_titbit even if there's not much chance of getting food，or eating disgusting stuff on walks，” Raffan says.“But they're not doing that because it's fun.They're doing it because they're hungry.”That's because POMC mutations disturb the brain's function of controlling food intake and energy consumption.As a result，the behaviour of these Labradors beesvery foodmotivated.语篇解读全球宠物肥胖率在22%到44%之间，弄清楚宠物肥胖的原因对人类应对肥胖问题也很有启发。
