2019年江苏高考英语专题三阅读理解第三步真题演练(四)
题型突破(四)推理判断之细节推断题A(2017·仪征中学期初考试)A world-famous Canadian author，Margaret Atwood，has created the world’s first long-distance signing device(装置)，the LongPen.After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city，Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them.She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004.Together they designed the LongPen.Here’s how it works：The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet(手写板) using a special pen.On the receiving end，in another city，a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book.The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams(网络摄像机) and computer screens.Work on the LongPen began in Atwood’s basement.At first，they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be.The device went through several versions，including one that actually had smoke coming out of it.The investing finally completed，test runs were made in Ottawa，and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair.From here，Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City.The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time.It has several other potential applications.It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province.The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.“It’s really fun，”said the owner of a bookstore，who was present for one of the test runs.“Obviously you can’t shake hands with the author，but there are chances for a connection that you don’t get from a regular book signing.”The response to the invention has not been all favorable.Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she’s trying to end book tours.But she said，“It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn’t afford it.”1．What do we know about the invention of the LongPen?A．It has been completed but not put into use.B．The basement caught fire by accident.C．Some versions failed before its test run.D．The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.答案 C解析细节理解题。
根据第三段第三句“The device went through several versions，including one that actually had smoke coming out of it.”可知，这个装置经历了很多次失败，最后才发明成功。
故选C。
2．What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6?A．Bookstore owners don’t support the LongPen.B．Critics think the LongPen is of little use.C．Atwood doesn’t mean to end book tours.D．Publishers dislike the LongPen for its high cost.答案 C解析推理判断题。
根据第六段最后一句“But she said，‘It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn’t afford it.’”可知，她发明这种签字笔可以给以前从来没有去过的地方的读者签字，而不是想结束book tours。
故选C。
B(2017·无锡期中调研)One of my favorite professors in college was a self-confessed(公开承认的) liar.I guess that statement needs a bit of explanation.The topic of Corporate Finance/Capital Markets is a very dry and boring subject matter.Dr K was memorable because of something he introduced at the beginning of his first class，“Between today and the class right before finals，I will put a lie into each of my lectures.Your job，as students，among other things，is to try and catch the Lie of the Day.”And then began our 10-week course.This was a brilliant way to focus our attention—by asking students to challenge his statements.Early in the quarter，the Lie of the Day was usually obvious—immediately causing raised hands to challenge it.As the quarter went on，the Lie of the Day became more subtle(不易察觉的)，and many ended up slipping past most students unnoticed until a very alert person stopped the lecture to flag it.Every once in a while，a lecture would end with nobody catching the lie.On those days，Dr K，looking quite pleased with himself，would say，“Ah ha！Each of you has one falsehood in your lecture notes.Discuss among yourselves what it might be，and I will tell you next Monday.”Those lectures forced us to work in study groups so we could approach him with our theories the following week.Brilliant...but what made Dr K’s technique genius was，during the most technically difficult lecture of the entire quarter，there was no lie.At the end of the lecture in which no lie was found，he offered the same challenge to work through the notes.On the following Monday，he heard our theories for what the falsehood might be for almost ten minutes before he finally said，“Do you remember the first lecture—how I said that every lecture has a lie？”Tired from having our best theories shot down，we nodded.“Well，THAT was a lie.My previous lecture was completely on the level.But I am glad you reviewed your notes carefully this weekend.Moving on...”While my knowledge of the Economics of Capital Markets has faded in time，the lessons have stayed with me：“Experts” can be wrong and say things that sound right，so always evaluate new information and check it against things you already accept as fact.3．The Lie of the Day is introduced to Dr K’s class because .A．he is good at telling a lieB．he wants his students to challenge his authorityC．he wants to find out who is absent-mindedD．he tries to arouse his students’ interest in his boring lecture答案 D解析推理判断题。

In the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldn't find the park's volcano．It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature﹣that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features．But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere．Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone（圆锥体） shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma （岩浆） piles up．These can form remarkably quickly．In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land．In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high．Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across．Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct．There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building．These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera．Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen couldn't find thecaldera anywhere．Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high﹣altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone．A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice ________ for one of the visitors' centers．As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park﹣22 million acres﹣was caldera．The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across﹣much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level．At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans．（1）What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone？________A.Its complicated geographical features．B.Its ever﹣lasting influence on tourism．C.The mysterious history of the park．D.The exact location of the volcano．．（2）What does the second paragraph mainly talk about？________A.The shapes of volcanoes．B.The impacts of volcanoes．C.The activities of volcanoes．D.The heights of volcanoes．．（3）What does the underlined word "blow﹣up" in the last paragraph most probably mean？________A.Hot﹣air balloon．B.Digital camera．C.Big photograph．D.Bird's view．19. Who cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people'sopinions． However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources．The fascination with the ICT （Information and Communication Technology）revolution, represented by the internet, has made some rich counties wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas． This belief in "post﹣industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector （制造业）, with negative consequences for their economies．Even more worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the richcountries and the poor countries． This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities． The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need themost． Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as diggingwells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages． I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long﹣term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money．In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a"borderless world"． As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back． Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross﹣border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results．Understanding technological trends in very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level． However, our fascination with the latest, and our under﹣valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions．（1）Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to________．A.a lack of confidence in technologyB.a slow progress in technologyC.a conflict of public opinionsD.a waste of limited resources．（2）The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should________．A.take people's essential needs into accountB.make their programmes attractive to peopleC.ensure that each child gets financial supportD.provide more affordable internet facilities．（3）What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations？________A.Neglecting the impacts of technological advances．B.Believing that the world has become borderless．C.Ignoring the power of economic development．D.Over﹣emphasizing the role of international communication．．（4）What can we learn from the passage？________A.People should be encouraged to make more donations．B.Traditional technology still has a place nowadays．C.Making right career choices is crucial to personal success．D.Economic policies should follow technological trends．20. The 65﹣year﹣old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer's（阿尔兹海默症）, He was losing his memory．A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family． Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family．Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep each night when she was young． She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father．Naomi, Melissa's best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help．"Why do this? "Steve wondered．"Because she cares．"Melissa said．Steve nodded, tear in eye．Naomi drove to the Goodwin home she told Steve she'd love to hear him play． Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys．Naomi put a small recorder near the piano． Starts and stops and mistakes． Long pauses, heart sinking． But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger．"It was beautiful, "Naomi said after listening to the recording．"The music was worth saving．"Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it． The music was still in Steve Goodwin． It was hidden in rooms with doors about to be locked．Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together． He'd move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and then she'd take his place． He struggled to explain what he heard in his head． He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else．Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code: lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key． Steve heard it． All of it． He just couldn't play it．Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve． It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song． One day, Naomi received an email．Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight．Steve called it"Melancholy Flower．"Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him"honey"and encouraged him． The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting． Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece．Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve's favorite, and most personal, songs．With Naomi's help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve's songs． Joni thought that would be the end． But it wasn't．In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind: "Melancholy Flower．"She told the director about her project with Steve． The director agreed to add it to the playing list． But Naomi would have to ask Steve's permission． He considered it an honor． After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve's music was beautiful and professional． It needed to be shared in public．The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert． Bythe day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend．By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends． He knew the path his life was now taking． He told his family he was at peace．Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family． The house lights faded． Naomi took the stage． Her fingers． His heart．（1）Why did Melissa want to save her father's music？________A.His music could stop his disease from worsening．B.She wanted to please her dying old father．C.His music deserved to be preserved in the family．D.She wanted to make her father a professional．．（2）After hearing Steve's playing，Naomi________．A.refused to make a comment on itB.was deeply impressed by his musicC.decided to free Steve from sufferingD.regretted offering help to her friend．（3）How can the process of Steve's recording be described？________A.It was slow but productive．B.It was beneficial to his health．C.It was tiresome for Naomi．D.It was vital for Naomi's career．．（4）Before Steve finished "Melancholy Flower，"his wife Joni________．A.thought the music talent of Steve was exhaustedB.didn't expect the damage the disease brought aboutC.didn't fully realize the value of her husband's musicD.brought her husband's music career to perfection．（5）How did Steve feel at the concert held in downtown Portland？________A.He felt concerned about his illness．B.He sensed a responsibility for music．C.He regained his faith in music．D.He got into a state of quiet．．（6）What can be a suitable title for the passage？________A.The Kindness of FriendsB.The Power of MusicC.The Making of a MusicianD.The Value of Determination．第四部分：任务型阅读（满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填一个单词．21.The Cost of ThinkingDespite their many differences，all human beings share several defining characteristics，such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs．The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily large brains compared with other animals．It seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains． Mammals（哺乳动物）weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm3． Modern man has a brain averaging 1200﹣1400 cm3．We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power，more must be better． Unfortunately， that is not the case．The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain﹣consumption of energy﹣on the body． It's not easy to carry around，especially when boxed inside a massive skull（颅骨）． It's even harder to provide energy． In modern man，the brain accounts for about 2﹣3% of total body weight， but it consumes 25% of the body's energy when the body is at rest． By comparison，the brains of apes （类人猿） require only 8% of rest﹣time energy． Early humans paid for their large brains in two ways． Firstly， they spent more time in search of food． Secondly，their muscles grew smaller and weaker． It's hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive． A chimpanzee（黑猩猩）can't win an argument with a modern man，but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll．Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright．Standing up，it's easier to find food or enemies． In addition，their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes，like throwing stones or signaling．As a result，humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands．Yet walking upright has its disadvantage． The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and had a relatively small head． Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge，especially when the bones had to support an extra﹣large skull． Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands with backaches and painful necks．We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages．It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth． But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creatures． Thus humans who lived a million years ago， despite their big brains and sharpstone tools， lived in constant fear of meat﹣eating animals．22.

the event in traditional Chinese dress may open up several opportunities for interaction． The organizer can come up with several activities based on the attire itself， such as inviting the foreign students to try our traditional costumes．To conclude，my advice is that the students should wear traditional Chinese dress for this occasion．（结论）。

the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on riskreduction saves at least two on reconstruction.
This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is required—and as a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out.

By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(仿效)。

Park，Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that，oddly，had not troubled anyone before：he couldn't find the park's volcano．It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature﹣that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features．But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere．Most of us，when we talk about volcanoes，think of the classic cone（圆锥体）shapes ofa Fuji or Kilimanjaro，which are created when erupting magma （岩浆）piles up．These canform remarkably quickly．In 1943，a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land．In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high．Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across．Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth，all buta few hundred of them extinct．There is，however，a second less known type of volcano thatdoesn't involve mountain building．These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack，leaving behind a vast hole，the caldera．Yellowstone obviously was of this second type，but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere．Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high﹣altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone．A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow﹣up for one of the visitors' centers．As soon as Christiansen saw the photos，he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera：almost the whole park﹣22 million acres﹣was caldera．The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across﹣much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level．At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans．（1）What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone？A．Its complicated geographical features．B．Its ever﹣lasting influence on tourism．C．The mysterious history of the park．D．The exact location of the volcano．（2）What does the second paragraph mainly talk about？A．The shapes of volcanoes．B．The impacts of volcanoes．C．The activities of volcanoes．D．The heights of volcanoes．（3）What does the underlined word "blow﹣up" in the last paragraph most probably mean？A．Hot﹣air balloon．B．Digital camera．C．Big photograph．D．Bird's view．29．（8分）Who cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more important influences than the washing machine？Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes？It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions，However，they have real impacts，as they result in misguided use of scarce resources．The fascination with the ICT （Information and Communication Technology）revolution，represented by the internet，has made some rich counties wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas．This belief in "post﹣industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector （制造业），with negative consequences for their economies．Even more worryingly，the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the rich countries and the poor countries．This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities．The question，however，is whether this is what the developing countries need the most．Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells，extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages．I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important，but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long﹣term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money．In yet another example，a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a"borderless world"．As a result，in the last twenty years or so，many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress，going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back．Believing in such a world，many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross﹣border flows of capital，labour and goods，with poor results．Understanding technological trends in very important for correctly designing economic policies，both at the national and the international levels，and for making the right career choices at the individual level．However，our fascination with the latest，and our under ﹣valuation of what has already become common，can，and has，led us in all sorts of wrongdirections．（1）Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to．A．a lack of confidence in technologyB．a slow progress in technologyC．a conflict of public opinionsD．a waste of limited resources（2）The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should．A．take people's essential needs into accountB．make their programmes attractive to peopleC．ensure that each child gets financial supportD．provide more affordable internet facilities（3）What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations？A．Neglecting the impacts of technological advances．B．Believing that the world has become borderless．C．Ignoring the power of economic development．D．Over﹣emphasizing the role of international communication．（4）What can we learn from the passage？A．People should be encouraged to make more donations．B．Traditional technology still has a place nowadays．C．Making right career choices is crucial to personal success．D．Economic policies should follow technological trends．30．（12分）The 65﹣year﹣old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer's（阿尔兹海默症），He was losing his memory．A software engineer by profession，Steve was a keen lover of the piano，and the onlymusician in his family．Music was his true passion，though be had never performed outside the family．Melissa，his daughter，felt it more than worthwhile to save his music，to which she fell asleep each night when she was young．She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father．Naomi，Melissa's best friend and a talented pianist，got to know about this and showed willingness to help．"Why do this？"Steve wondered．"Because she cares．"Melissa said．Steve nodded，tear in eye．Naomi drove to the Goodwin home she told Steve she'd love to hear him play．Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench，hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys．Naomi put a small recorder near the piano．Starts and stops and mistakes．Long pauses，heart sinking．But Steve pressed on，playing for the first time in his life for a stranger．"It was beautiful，"Naomi said after listening to the recording．"The music was worth saving．"Her responsibility，her privilege，would be to rescue it．The music was still in Steve Goodwin．It was bidden in rooms with doors about to be locked．Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together．He'd move his fingers clumsily on the piano，and then she'd take his place．He struggled to explain what he heard in his head．He stood by the piano，eyes closed，listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else．Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code：lines，beats，intervals，moving from the root to end a song in a new key．Steve heard it．All of it．He just couldn't play it．Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve．It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song．One day，Naomi received an email．Attached was a

encouraged him．The task was so hard，and Steve，angry and upset，said he was quitting．Joni praised him，telling her husband this could be his signature piece．Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve's favorite，and most personal，songs．With Naomi's help，the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve's gongs．Joni thought that would be the end．But it wasn't．In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert，Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind："Melancholy Flower．"She told the director about her project with Steve．The

characteristics，such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs．The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily large brains compared with other animals．It seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains．Mammals（哺乳动物）weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm3．Modern man has a brain averaging 1200﹣1400 cm3．We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power，more must be better．Unfortunately，that is not the case．The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain﹣consumption of energy﹣on the body．It's not easy to carry around，especially when boxed inside a massive skull（颅骨）．It's even harder to provide energy．In modern man，the brain accounts for about 2﹣3% of total body weight，but it consumes 25% of the body's energy when the body is at rest．By comparison，the brains of apes （类人猿）require only 8% of rest﹣time energy．Early humans paid fortheir large brains in two ways．Firstly，they spent more time in search of food．Secondly，their muscles grew smaller and weaker．It's hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive．A chimpanzee（黑猩猩）can't win an argument with a modern man，but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll．Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright．Standing up，it's easier to find food or enemies．In addition，their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes，like throwing stones or signaling．As a result，humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands．Yet walking upright has its disadvantage．The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and had a relatively small head．Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge，especially when the bones had to support an extra﹣large skull．Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands with backaches and painful necks．We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages．It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth．But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creatures．Thus humans who lived a million years ago，despite their big brains and sharp stone tools，lived in constant fear of meat﹣eating animals．The Cost of
