A[2019·重庆第二次调研]Since the vacation season is over, it's time to start thinking about ways to improve your travel quality — your ability to get around without looking like a foolish tourist — before your next trip.Read a book.The right travel book can educate and inspire you. “Good writing helps me to look at my surroundings with new eyes，” says Martha Merritt, Dean of International Education at the University of Richmond. A book about travel is not necessarily a travel guidebook. It can simply be a book — fiction or nonfiction — about a place.Find your attractive group on social media.That's what Tiffany Burnette, who runs a design company in Philadelphia, does between trips. She spends time on the website's travel groups connecting with new friends and learning new travel skills.Learn a language.“I spend 15 to 20 minutes each day working on my basic language skills so that I can at least show respect，” says Jeff Wilson, the host of “Real Rail Adventures” on PBS. “Phrases like ‘please’ ‘thank you’ counted.” Michelle Williams, who has traveled to more than 50 countries, says, “An app like Duolingo is a great way to improve your language skill s before you travel.”While these tools could make you a smarter traveler, only one thing is guaranteed to improve your travel quality. You have to get out of your seat. You can start your journey by visiting your travel agent from the United States Tour Operators.体裁：说明文题材：旅游娱乐主题：让自己成为有素养的游客【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了提高自己旅游素养的三个方法：读书，在社交媒体上寻找吸引你的旅游团体，学习语言。

B[2019·唐山一模]Stan Lee, cofounder of the Marvel Universe (漫威宇宙) and cocreator of many of its most popular superheroes, died at the age of 95.Lee was born Stanley Martin Lieber in New York in 1922. As a son of workingclass Jewish immigrants from Romania, times were hard and he lived with his family in a shabby singlebedroom apartment. After graduating from high school at 16, Lieber landed a job as an assistant at Timely Comics. By the early 1940s, he was a temporary editor for the company. It was at this time that he began using his pen name —Stan Lee. In 1947, two years after returning from serving for the U．S. Army, Lee married his wife, Joan. The two began their 70year marriage and had two children.In the late l950s, DC Comics breathed new life into its classic superhero and experienced a significant success with its updated version of the Flash, and later with superteam the Justice League of America.To compete against DC Comics, Lee was given the task of creating their own group of superheroes. In 1961, Timely Comics changed its name into Marvel Comics after Atlas Comics, and that November saw the debut (首次亮相) of the Fantastic Four. Lee's later famous and lasting creations of comicbook superheroes included SpiderMan, the Hulk, T hor, Iron Man and the XMen.Over the course of his career, Lee was an icon of Marvel Comics. As a writer and editor and, at various points, both the publisher and vice president of Marvel Comics, Lee not only introduced interesting characters to the industry, but changed the way that comic books came together. He also created a cooperative workflow between writers and artists, which became known as the “Marvel Method”. Lee received a National Medal of Arts in 2008 for his innovations that revolutionized American comic books.体裁：记叙文题材：人物故事主题：斯坦·李的传奇人生【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了漫威创始人斯坦·李富于传奇色彩的一生。

It can be even scarier when you’re a young little blue penguin(企鹅)—the tiniest of the penguin species. Luckily, there are some humanswilling to help. They stepped in to protect Billy, a blue penguin thatappeared on a beach in Christchurch, New Zealand.Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay, near Sumner, in Christchurch, the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd. Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon, and he biked home to get his camera. When he returned to the scene, he found that the penguin had received a little sign, one that read “Hi, I’m waiting for my mum to come back. DOC(Department of Conservation) knows I’m here. Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away. Thanks. Billy—the baby blue penguin.”Billy didn’t move away from the sign. The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy, though they were surprised to see it on the beach. “It’s unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day，”Anita Spencer, a DOC senior ranger, told Stuff.Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach. Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin, and is around 2 months old. The chick weighs a mere 550 grams, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age. Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram.The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice, before it’s set free into the ocean.4．Why can the world be frightening to a young penguin?A．It is a rare species.B．It faces potential danger.C．It is surrounded by the crowd.D．It is threatened by dogs.5．It can be inferred from the text that Billy________．A．is a female penguinB．has expressed its thanksC．weighs less for its ageD．prefers living on the beach6．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “retrieved”in paragraph 4?A．Ignored.B．Cured.C．Given away. D．Brought back.7．What will happen to Billy in the center?A．It will be reported to Stuff.B．It will be visited by the locals.C．It will be taken good care of.D．It will be fed with fruit juice.C(2019·东北三省四市二模)You can’t see your sleeping pet’s brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when your cat might be dreaming. If you watch closely, you’ll see that as she falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular with her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slowwave sleep. After about 15 minutes you’ll notice a change in her breathing. Her eyes move under her closed lids, her paws twitch(抽动) and she flicks(轻拂) an ear. She has entered dreaming. Although she twitches and makes little grunting noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are blocked, so she can’t run about. She is in a state of “sleep paralysis(麻痹)”．Michel Jouvet, a French scientist, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldn’t see and arched their backs at unseen enemies. He figured he was watching them act out their dreams! Obviously, the dreaming cats seemed to be practising important cat skills: following, pouncing, and fighting.In another study, Matt Wilson recorded rats’brain waves while they learned mazes. One day, her left the brainwaverecording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is topractise important skills and figure out recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, how often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down.8．What does Michel Jouvet find in his study?A．The dreaming cats are in a state of body paralysis.B．The dreaming cats often practise their important skills.C．The eyes of dreaming cats move while bodies are still.D．The legs of the dreaming cats can’t move.9．What can you know about dreaming from the passage?A．Dreaming a lot can help humans learn more.B．Learning mazes is the basic skill for cats to learn.C．Rats often dream to work out their recent learning.D．Fighting and escaping are not important skills for ancestors.10．Which animal may dream most frequently?A．Rats.B．Dogs.C．Cows. D．Elephants.11．How does the author develop his passage?A．By making comparisons. B．By using figures.C．By telling stories. D．By showing facts.D(2019·福建泉州质量检测)Skyscrapers are the symbol of urban life. Citypeople are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the otherhand, are associated with rural(农村的) life. However, there are experts whothink skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the Earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, verticalfarming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources(来源), such as artificial light.Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative(革新的) farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas have yet to come.12．What primary problem could vertical farming settle?A．Poor state of rural life.B．Shortage of food supply.C．High cost of transporting crops.D．Environmental pollution by traditional farming.13．What is the advantage of vertical farming?A．It can produce organic food.B．It requires little care.C．It can benefit transport industry.D．It needs very low cost.14．What is a big challenge of making vertical farming a reality?A．Farmable land.B．Crop diseases.C．Light sources. D．Climate conditions.15．What can be the best title of the text?A．Future Food Needs B．Symbol of Urban LifeC．Farming on Rooftops D．Farms of the Future第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A(2017·高三质量检测)South KoreaWhile many South Koreans prefer Westernstyle weddings in which the bride wears a white wedding dress, some couples are still carrying out the “Pyebaek”—a South Korean wedding custom.The Pyebaek is held after the official ceremony, and is when the bride pays respects to her parentsinlaw for the first time.The new couple bow deeply before the parents, and they exchange jujube(枣) and chestnuts(栗子)—symbols for children and good fortune.—Sujean Park, HuffPost South KoreaJapanFor Japanese weddings, it’s customary for guests to bring cash as a gift for the new couples.The amount depends on the guest’s relationship to the couple—on average, friends would give $300, and family members may give up to $1，000.The bills should be unfolded, freshly printed.They’re typically put in a special envelope signed by the guest.Guests leave the envelopes at a reception desk at the ceremony and receive wedding favors in return.—Ryan Takeshita, HuffPost JapanBrazilIn Brazilian weddings, the best man cuts the groom’s tie into several pieces and sells them to the wedding guests at whatever price they choose to pay for it.The money that’s collected usually goes toward the c ouple’s honeymoon.Brazilian weddings wouldn’t be complete without pastries called “bemcasados”， or “happily married”．These are tiny sweet cakes with a condensed milk(炼乳) filling that are meant to bring good luck to the new couples.—Andrea Martinelli, HuffPost Brazil1．In South Korean weddings，________．A．only Westernstyle weddings are favoredB．the couple must both wear a white dressC．the bride shows respects to her parentsD．some couples still observe their traditions2．When attending a Japanese friend’s wedding, you’dbetter________．A．fold the new bills in an envelopeB．contain $300 in a special envelopeC．carry an envelope with a letter as a giftD．give more than $1，000 to the new couple3．Why do people make pastries in Brazilian weddings?A．To share the new couple’s stories.B．To raise money for the new couple.C．To show their excellent cooking skills.D．To express good wishes to the new couple.4．What’s the purpose of writing this text?A．To share some wedding customs around the world.B．To tell people how to make preparations for weddings.C．To show the different customs between different countries.D．To check how much you know about wedding customs.B(2017·检测)It was an old apartment building, in which many parts are made of wood.Regardless of the warning of firemen, the residents wouldn’t move out because they were poor and had nowhere to go.One night, the building was on fire.The residents began to run for their lives.When half of the population had got themselves out, the wooden staircases broke down.The remaining residents rushed to the roof of the third floor, which had not been touched by the flames yet, waiting for the firemen to rescue them.Firemen did arrive in a short while.But the fire engines and ladders could not reach the building as the alley was too narrow to allow the passage.The situation was critical, since the fire might burn the roof at any moment.The firemen placed a few cushions on the floor, and got some quilts from the nearby houses to add to the pile.Then they asked the people on the burning building to jump on the pile after they had shown how.A man jumped down, bottom touching the pile, uninjured.Another person jumped down, uninjured...They jumped one after another, all safe.Finally, Singermary became the only remaining one on the roof,hesitating while the fire was swallowing the roof soon.People shouted，“Jump, jump！” Singermary jumped, but she jumped head down with open arms.People were amazed and greatly shocked.How could she do such a jump? It was a suicide gesture! Fortunately, the cushions were very thick.She did not die, but injured seriously, saying with what strength she got, “Please take me to hospital！” She was pregnant, and she had jumped head down in order to keep the child safe.That was mother’s love ! People were deeply moved.5．When did the wooden staircases break down?A．After half of the residents ran out.B．Before the residents discovered the fire.C．Immediately the firemen arrived.D．The moment the fire started.6．Why couldn’t the firemen put out the fire?A．Because the cushions blocked the way.B．Because the fire engines were too old.C．Because the building was made of wood.D．Because the alley was not wide enough.7．Why did Singermary jump in a different way?A．To reduce the danger.B．To cover her fright.C．To protect her child.D．To shock her neighbors.8．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Harmony of NeighborhoodB．Mother’s LoveC．Heroic FiremenD．An Urgent RescueC(2017·中学模拟)It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense.It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand, a littlepoliteness goes a long way toward reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasantfeelings.Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(公路驾车技能)．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more giveandtake(互谅互让) from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.9．The passage mainly talks about________．A．traffic jams B．good mannersC．road politeness D．modern drivers10．Troubles on the road are often caused by________．A．traffic jamsB．the behavior of the driversC．the great speed of modern lifeD．terrible road conditions11．According to the writer，a good driver should________．A．encourage children to cross the road whenever they want toB．beat back when forced to face rude drivingC．be able to recognize politeness when he sees itD．join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel12．It is not always right for drivers to________．A．master the roadmanshipB．neglect politeness when they see itC．give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politenessD．encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want toD(2017·高中二模)People love cellphones, which is why nine in ten Americans own one.But does heavy use of cellphones pose a risk of cancer? This question has caused controversy for many years.A new study in rats now augments those concerns.Its data linked longterm, intense exposure to radiation from cellphones with an increased risk of cancer in the heart or brain.The results have yet to be confirmed, the authors note.Indeed, although the rat study found a link between cellphone radiation and cancer, it offers no clues to why such a link might exist, notes Jonathan Samet.He teaches preventative medicine and directs the Institute for Global Health at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.Still, he calls the new study’s findings “significant”．They could lead to studies researching how cellphone radiation might cause cancer, he says.Phone signals are relayed between cell towers and cellphones via radio waves.This radio frequency—or RF—radiation is a type known as nonionizing(非电离的)．Unlike Xrays, nonionizing radiation does not deposit enough energy into cells to release electro ns from atoms or molecules, producing ions.So it tends to be far less harmful than ionizing radiation, such as Xrays.But that does not mean radio waves might not cause harm.In very large doses(量) this radiation will heat the body and cause tissue damage.But it’s not yet known what much lower RF levels might do, such as those from cellphone use.Five years ago, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, or IARC, concluded that cellphone use“is possibly carcinogenic(致癌的)”．Its conclusion was based on what little research data was available at that time.But notice that IARC was not certain.It said only that phone use might “possibly”cause cancer.So scientists at the National Toxicology Program, or NTP, investigated further.13．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “augments” in Paragraph 1?A．Figures out. B．Puts out.C．Refers to. D．Adds to.14．In which aspect does Jonathan Samet think the new study in rats is significant?A．It assists him with his teaching.B．It indicates a new research direction.C．It warns people to mind cellphone safety.D．It makes a breakthrough in cancer research.15．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．How phone signals are delivered.B．How cellphones produce radiation.C．Features of radiation from cellphones.D．Differences between ionizing and nonionizing radiation.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

一是因为它们往往体现主旨要义，二是因为利用这些信息可以迅速提炼段落结构框架，在框架下判断主旨，其准确性更高。
2．通过暗示揣摩段落大意有时，作者不直接写出主题句，而是通过情感态度等方法暗示性地体现主题，此时要根据文中所叙述的事实和线索综合判断去揣摩并概括出段落大意。
真题体验(2023·新高考全国Ⅰ卷D)On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect．The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate．This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren't always the same．Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate．When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate．If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won't cancel each other out．In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent．If for whatever reasons, people's errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down．But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon．The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number ofindependent individuals．For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals．In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion．Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates? Did they follow those least willing to change their minds? This happened some of the time, but it wasn't the dominant response．Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together”．Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error．Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous．32．What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about？A．The methods of estimation．B．The underlying logic of the effect．C．The causes of people's errors．D．The design of Galton's experiment．【解题示范】第一步：阅读题干，找出关键词：Paragraph 2，快速将解题信息定位到文章的第二段；第二步：根据段落的内容，分析选项，判断概括准确的选项：根据“This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren't always the same．Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate．When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate．If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won't cancel each other out．In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent．If for whatever reasons, people's errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down．(这种效应利用了这样一个事实，即当人们犯错误时，这些错误并不总是相同的。

A[2019 重·庆第二次调研 ]Since the vacation season is over, it's time to start thinking about ways to improve your travel quality — your ability to get around without looking like a foolish tourist — before your next trip.Read a book.The right travel book can educate and inspire you. “Good writing helps me to look at my surroundings with new eyes ，” says Martha Merritt, Dean of International Education at the University of Richmond. A book about travel is not necessarily a travel guidebook. It can simply be a book — fiction or nonfiction — about a place.Find your attractive group on social media.That's what Tiffany Burnette, who runs a design company in Philadelphia, does between trips. She spends time on the website's travel groups connecting with new friends and learning new travel skills.Learn a language.“I spend 15 to 20 minutes each day working on my basic language skills so that I can at least show respect，” says Jeff Wilson, the host of “ Real Rail A dventures”on PBS. “ Phrases like‘please’ ‘thank you’ counted.” Michelle Williams, who has traveled to more than 50 countries, says, “An app like Duolingo is a great way to improve your language skills before you travel. ”While these tools could make you a smarter traveler, only one thing is guaranteed to improve your travel quality. You have to getout of your seat. You can start your journey by visiting your travel agent from the United States Tour Operators.体裁：说明文题材：旅行娱乐主题：让自己成为有修养的旅客【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了提升自己旅行素养的三个方法：念书，在交际媒体上找寻吸引你的旅行集体，学习语言。

As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful.It was my twelfth year of dancing, I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness.However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (编舞者). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well.With the end of the year came our show time. As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement.I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda, expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment.

Now, the team added a new feature to the database that predicts where species currently unknown to scientists may be hiding.In 2018, ecologist Mario Moura of the Federal University of Paraiba in Brazil teamed up with Yale ecologist Walter Jetz, who took the lead in the initial creation of the Map of Life. The pair set out to identify where 85 percent of Earth's undiscovered species may be. For two years, the team collected information about 32，000 vertebrate (脊椎动物)species. Data on population size, geographical range, historical discovery dates and other biological characteristics were used to create a computer model that estimated where undescribed species might exist today.The model found tropical environments in countries including Brazil, Indonesia, Madagascar, and Colombia house the most undiscovered species. Smaller animals have limited ranges that may be inaccessible, making their detection more difficult. In contrast, larger animals that occupy greater geographic ranges are more likely to be discovered, the researchers explain.“It is striking to see the importance of tropical forests as the birthplace of discoveries, stressing the urgent need to protect tropical forests and address the need of controlling deforestation rate if we want a chance to truly discover our biodiversity，” said Moura.The map comes at a crucial time when Earth is facing a biodiversity crisis. It was reported that there was a 68 percent decrease in vertebrate species populations between 1970 and 2006 and a 94 percent decline in animal populations in the America's tropical subregions. “At the current pace of global environmental change, there is no doubt that many species will go extinct before we have ever learned about their existence and had the chance to consider their fate，” Jetz said.5．What can be learned about the Map of Life?A．It only tracks biodiversity distributions.B．It was initially created by Mario Moura.C．It predicts where undiscovered species exist．D．It managed to locate 85% of the undiscovered species.6．Which factor makes animals easier to discover?A．location. B．species.C．size. D．population.7．What does the underlined word “address” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Tackle. B．Ignore.C．Maintain. D．Postpone.8．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A．Tropical animal populations have slightly declined.B．The Map of life is significant to protecting biodiversity.C．Tropical forests are the birthplace of many extinct species.D．Many species will undoubtedly go extinct even if discovered.CThis is the digital age, and the advice to managers is clear. If you don't know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper. Undoubtedly, it can serve as a useful reminder of where the digital world's limitations lie. Several recent studies highlighted the enduring value of this ancient technology in several different aspects.A study by Vicky Morwitz of Columbia Business School, Yanliu Huang of Drexel University and Zhen Yang of California State University, Fullerton, finds that paper calendars produce different behaviours from digital calendars. Users of oldfashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an App, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters.Here is another study from Maferima TouréTillery of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University. In one part of their study, the researchers asked strangers to take a survey. Half the respondents were given a pen and paper to fill out a form; the other half were handed an iPad. When asked for their email address to receive information, those who used paper were much likelier to decide on a positive answer. The researchers believe that people make better decisions on paper because it feels more consequential than a digital screen. Paperandpen respondents were more likely than iPad users to think their choices indicated their characters better.Researchers had other findings. They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online. Even the sight of someone handling something can help online sales. Similarly, people browsing(浏览) in a virtualreality(虚拟现实) shop was more willing to buy a Tshirt if they saw their own virtual hand touch it.9．How does the author lead in the topic?A．By telling a story.B．By giving examples.C．By raising questions.D．By describing a situation.10．Why can paper calendars make users stick to plans better?A．They are a better reminder.B．They can show more detailed plans.C.They provide chances for people to practice writing.D．They provide a better view of many days' plans at a time.11．Which of the following did paper influence based on Paragraph 3?A．Decision. B．Sympathy.C．Efficiency. D．Responsibility.12．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Paper posters will greatly promote sales online.B．Emagazines are thought less valuable than paper ones.C．Seeing others buy will increase one's purchasing desire.D．People prefer items made of paper instead of other materials.[答题区]阅读理解题型分类练(四)A【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

高考英语二轮复习专题阅读理解精选1So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them・ It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible^.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest （探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.26.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that.A.it is one of the most difficult school coursesB.students spend endless hours in readingC.reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD.too much time is spent in teaching about reading27.The teaching of reading will be successful if _______________ ・A.teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB.teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC.teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD.teachers can make their teaching activities observable28.The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means"_____________A.inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion29.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ______________•A.children become highly motivatedB.teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC.teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD.reading enriches children's experience30.The main idea of the passage is that ______________ .A.teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB.teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC.reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD.reading is more complicated that generally believed【答案与解析】26—30 DBBAC木文是一篇议论文，在对传统的阅读教学方式进行批判的同时，论述了作者自己阅读的教学观：阅读的教与学是两个完全不同的过程。
2022高考英语二轮阅读理解高效练习(4)及解析
2022高考英语二轮阅读理解高效练习（4）及解析（A）Mark Twain was my hero when I was nine because that was when Idiscovered Tom Sawyer. But even at the height of my admiration, I couldn’tagree with him that Anne, the main character in Anne of Green Gables, was“the dearest and most lovable child in fiction since the best-known Alice”. Ihad read Anne of Green Gables as well as Tom Sawyer, and she had made meas sick as a dog.Another Mark Twain’s quote will explain my problem. He said, “When Iwas a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant (无知的) that I could hardly standhaving the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years. ” I gradually understood his words as growing up. When I picked up the book again a few years later, I was too astonished at how much it had improved—and shortly afterwards shocked by the fact that not only could I be a fool in all sporting, artistic and practical matters, I could also be so when it came to reading, too.On rereading, then, I learned that Anne is indeed the dearest and most lovable child. I couldn’t help adoring the girl who insists that her name be spelled with the “e” instead of Ann as she believes that is “so much more distinguished. ” She is a brave and determined survivor of a severe upbringing who has refused to let her circumstances crush her spirit. She arrives at Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert’s farmwith everything unfavorable—orphaned, unwanted and her biggest trouble of red-hair and freckled (有雀斑的) face. However, she gets along well, through her strange way of seeing things, through her honest love of beauty and lovable attempts to master her unreasonable desires. She finally wins over the Cuthberts, her neighbors and millions of readers who have met her over the 101 years since the book was first published.When I settle down with it these days, I’ve come to see the truth in Mark Twain’s praise for the book, and this reminds me of the great truth that you are never too young to start rereading.16. According to Paragraph 1, we can know the writer _______.A. believed Anne to be lovableB. admired Mark Twain because of AnneC. regarded Tom Sawyer as the dearest childD. disagreed with Mark Twain’s opinion on Anne17. By referring to Mark Twain’s remark on his father, the writer wants to prove that _______.A. people’s attitude may changeB. learning can change a personC. the relationships between people can improveD. young people never make correct judgment18. The reason why the writer admires Anne now is that _______.A. she is an ambitious girlB. she is welcomed by the readersC. she adapts to her environment wellD. she changes her name to make it easy to remember19. The writer’s purpose of writing the passage is to _______.A. recommend Anne of Green GablesB. express admiration towards Mark TwainC. prove that people’s first impression can not be rightD. encourage us to reread the books that we may not like at first【文章大意】作者崇拜马克·吐温，但小时候的作者有一点却和马克·吐温的观点冲突，他关于Anne of Green Gables中的女主角Anne评判不高。
