高考题型逐个击破-阅读理解之细节理解题
题型解读
一、阅读理解细节题的命题特点
1.直接信息题
在高考英语阅读理解试题中，假如答题信息可以直接从文中获取，我们称之为直接信息题。直接信息题常用特殊疑问词when、where、who、what、why和how 等来提问，只要在做题时针对所问内容进行标记，此类型题目很容易找到答案。可以说直接信息题是高中英语阅读 理解题目中最简单、最容易得分的题型。
2.归纳概括题
在高考英语阅读理解试题中，假如在答题时需要对文中两个或多个信息点进行归纳总结概括，我们称之为归纳概括题。
3.语意转换题
在高考英语阅读理解试题中，如果正确的选项是对文中信息进行了同义的转换，比如用近义词替换原文词语或用近义的短语进行文中信息的替换，我们称之为语意转换题。语意转换题有时候选项与原文语句在表达上存在较大差异，需要进行对比和整理后才能得出正确选项，此类题目相对其他阅读题型而言，难度较大。
数字计算题
在高考英语阅读理解试题中，假如在答题时需要对文中提供的数字进行简单的计算才可得出答案，我们称之为数字计算题。
无论哪种类型的细节题，我们在弄清楚题目所问之后，为保证该题型的答题准确率，关键在于把握住文章事实和细节，同时，抓住文章事实和细节也是做好其他类型题的基础。
二、几种干扰项设置方法
1. 偷换概念
把原文中关键词或限定词去掉或用其他词进行替换，使干扰选项看似与原文意思接近，实际却大相径庭，看似正确，实际却是错误选项。
2. 张冠李戴
本是张三做的事情推到李四身上，如若不够小心就会误选。这时候一定要看清文中与选项中的对象是否一致。
3.把未果当结果
出题人改变文中某句话的时态，如把将来时变成现在时，把未发生的事情当成已发生的事情，把未果当成结果。
4. 文不对题
选项中的描述与原文完全一致，的确是原文中的一个细节，它描述的是一个事实，但却不符合题目推理判断得出结论的要求。这时候就要回到题干，明确应选择的选项是依据原文所给信息推理判断出来的内容。
三、高考英语阅读理解细节题答案设置特点
1. 换词法
对原文句子中的关键词进行近义词或近义短语的替换，把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词，成为正确选项。
2. 简化语言法
把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化，成为正确答案。
3. 变换语态法
把原文中描述事实的语态进行转化，如原文使用的是被动语态，而在选项中转化成主动语态，使选项成为正确答案，但给考生制造了障碍。
4. 正话反说法
把原文中句子的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项，常用于“选择错误的选项”这种题型中。
解题技巧
把握细节理解题正确选项特征
同义替换
指对原文句子中的关键词进行同义替换。如把lose one's job换成了be out of work。有些细节理解题把原文中的一些词变换一下词性，如把important变换成of importance；改变原文中句子的语态，如主动语态与被动语态的转换。
信息归纳
用精炼的语言来概括原文中比较分散或复杂的信息，设置为正确答案。
正话反说
把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项。
原文原词
利用原文原词作为正确选项。
掌握细节理解题干扰选项特征
张冠李戴
是原文信息，但不是题目要求的内容。
无中生有
符合常识，但不是文章的内容。
曲解文意
与原文的内容极其相似，只是在某个细节处有些变动。
颠倒是非
在意思上与原文大相径庭甚至完全相反。
正误参半
部分正确，部分错误。
信息分类
一. 直接信息题
考生可以采取“关键词定位法”，即“带着问题找答案”的方法，通过定位找题眼。先从题干中提取关键性词语(题眼)，然后以此为线索，运用略读及寻读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此关键词相关的段落、语句，快速定位该题与哪一段哪一句有关，然后仔细推敲，仔细比较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别，在准确理解细节的前提下，最后确定答案。解题步骤为：
第一步：依据题干信息，择定位关键词
细节理解直接信息题一般是对文章局部内容的考查,且题目相对简单,所以,不必通篇细读全文,可先通过题干信息来选择定位关键词。关键词主要是题干中的名词、动词和数词,即问题的核心信息
第二步：依据关键词,回原文定位信息进行比对
确定了定位关键词后,运用略读及寻读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与题于有关的关键词,回到原文进行信息定位,然后将选项内容与原文信息比对,得出正确答案。
二. 间接信息题
相比直接信息题，命题的隐蔽性更强，正确选项一般都会在原文基础上进行改造。此类题目需要考生将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语义上的转换，有时还需要进一步的加工或整理。
三. 概括、归纳信息题
是指命题人用精炼的语言来概括原文中比较分散或复杂的信息，这是命题人设计细节理解题的正确选项时经常使用的手段之一。考生首先应依据题干指向，找到文中相应的信息区间，然后尝试用自己的语言去归纳总结文中的信息或事实，然后再看选项，挑选出和自己所归纳总结的信息最接近的选项作为正确答案。
新题速递
（一）
（2024·江苏宿迁·一模）I was surprised to find the congestion (拥塞) outside Layla’s primary school was unusually absent—I’d driven right into a parking space, and I was on time, for once. The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours.
Before I could enquire my daughter Layla, Mr Trent, the deputy head, approached. “Mrs Pavis, did you not read our letter ” Letter What letter I had a history of not looking out for them, and not reading them in most cases. “The letter Of course. It must have just slipped my mind—I’ve been away with work.”
Now I was digging around in Layla’s messy schoolbag at home. Eventually, I found several letters, all addressing the same topic—parking outside the school gates. Apparently with some parents parking illegally, the police were about to get involved. “Why didn’t you give me these letters ” I demanded. Layla shrugged. “I forgot.” I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes.
I contained myself and figured out that they wanted the parents to car-pool (拼车). I spent the next half hour ringing round Layla’s friends’ parents, enquiring if they would like to car-pool with us. Unfortunately, they were all sorted. It was my own fault—I should have read those letters ages ago. “Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.” I flushed instantly. We were a disorganised family, and I was the one to blame.
I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school.
1. What did the author notice when the school was over
A. It was hard to find a parking space. B. Children were picked up in groups.
C. Her daughter was absent from class. D. She arrived much earlier than others.
2. What stopped the author criticizing her daughter
A. The reflection of her daily routine. B. The realization of her carelessness.
C. The knowledge of her kid’s character. D. The awareness of her kid’s depression.
3. Why did others refuse to car-pool with them according to Layla
A. Because they contacted them late. B. Because they failed to keep the house tidy.
C. Because they couldn’t be on time. D. Because they ignored the school’s request.
4. What can we learn from the passage
A. Action creates motivation. B. Mother’s love never changes.
C. It’s never too late to mend. D. Patience is the key to success.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 4. C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在参与孩子的学校生活中，发现自己粗心大意，并且因为迟到，其他家长拒绝和自己拼车，于是作者决心改变，承担起对孩子的责任，再也没有迟到过。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours.(学校的铃响了，不一会儿，一群孩子从大门进来了。但有些不同——孩子们三三两两地挤进了车里)”可知，放学后作者注意到了孩子们被成群地接走。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段“I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes.(我正准备严厉地训斥一顿，突然想到我总是忘记——那天早上我忘了给莱拉做饭的钱，也忘了把孩子们洗好的衣服晾在外面)”可知，意识到自己的粗心大意阻止了作者批评她的女儿。故选B。
3. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.”(“呃……“我无意中听到别人在谈论这件事，”莱拉说，“他们说他们不知道谁会和我们拼车，因为我们总是迟到。”)”可知，根据Layla的说法，其他人拒绝与他们拼车是因为他们不能准时。故选C。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school.(我决心改变。有了对孩子的责任，我发现我从来没有迟到过。这对莱拉和她的哥哥们都有好处，对我也有好处，因为现在我再也不会毫无准备地出门了。我甚至开始检查孩子们的书包里有没有学校的笔记)”结合文章主要讲述了作者在参与孩子的学校生活中，发现自己粗心大意，并且因为迟到，其他家长拒绝和自己拼车，于是作者决心改变，承担起对孩子的责任，再也没有迟到过。可推知，文章告诉我们“亡羊补牢，犹未晚也”的道理。故选C。

（2024·四川成都·三模）A small bowl bought at a yard sale in Connecticut for just $ 35 has been identified as a rare 15th-century Chinese antique.
The blue-and-white bowl was made by China's royal court during the Ming dynasty. It is now expected to sell for up to $500,000, according to Sotheby's auction(拍卖)house in New York, where the auction will take place next month.
The purchase was made last year near New Haven, Connecticut. “I was just hanging around there aimlessly. But when I saw this bowl, I didn't even bargain over the $35 asking price,” the owner said. Shortly after the purchase, he sent photos of the bowl to auction specialists, who identified it as an item of historical significance.
Upon closer inspection, the artifact was found to have originated from the period of Yongle Emperor, who ruled from 1403 to 1424 - a period noted for its distinctive porcelain (瓷器)techniques. It's now valued between $300,000 and $500,000, with the top estimate nearly 14,300 times the amount it was purchased for.
“I was deeply attracted by the techniques. You can see why this bowl is so highly-valued from the very smooth porcelain body, silky glaze(上釉)and special blue coloring, which were never reproduced in later dynasties,” McAteer, an auction specialist, said.
“The Yongle Emperor improved the porcelain techniques and elevated the importance of porcelain from being an ordinary bowl into a true work of art. This small bowl has both practical and artistic value, ”McAteer said.
5. What can we infer about the bowl's owner
A. He found the bowl by accident.
B. He hesitated during the purchase.
C. He doubted whether the bowl was real.
D. He bought the bowl because it was cheap.
6. What makes the bowl so precious
A. The blue color on it. B. The long history it has.
C. The people who made it. D. The unique techniques used.
7. What does the underlined word “elevated” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Foresaw. B. Promoted.
C. Assessed. D. Acknowledged.
8. What's the best title of the text
A. An Amazing Bowl B. A Special Yard Sale
C. The Return of Porcelains D. A Man Making Fortune
【答案】5. A 6. D 7. B 8. A
【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。一只在康涅狄格州的庭院拍卖会上以35美元购得的小碗被认定是一件罕见的15世纪中国古董。
5. 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句和第三句“I was just hanging around there aimlessly. But when I saw this bowl, I didn't even bargain over the $35 asking price”（我只是在那儿漫无目的地闲逛。但是当我看到这个碗的时候，我甚至没有对35美元的要价进行砍价）可知，这个碗的主人偶然发现了它。故选A。
6. 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Upon closer inspection, the artifact was found to have originated from the period of Yongle Emperor, who ruled from 1403 to 1424 - a period noted for its distinctive porcelain (瓷器)techniques.”（经仔细观察，发现该工艺品起源于1403年至1424年的永乐年间，这一时期以其独特的瓷器工艺而闻名。）可知，独特的工艺使这只碗如此珍贵。故选D。
7. 词义猜测题。根据第六段第一句中的“The Yongle Emperor improved the porcelain techniques”（永乐皇帝改进了制瓷技术）和下文的“from being an ordinary bowl into a true work of art.（从普通的碗变成真正的艺术品。） ”可知，此处是指提高了瓷器的重要性，所以elevated意为“提高”。故选B。
8. 标题判断题。文章为新闻报道，首段为导语，是本文的主旨。根据第一段“A small bowl bought at a yard sale in Connecticut for just $ 35 has been identified as a rare 15th-century Chinese antique.”（一只在康涅狄格州的庭院拍卖会上以35美元购得的小碗被认定是一件罕见的15世纪中国古董。）可知，文章主要是报道一个被认定是一件罕见的15世纪中国古董的小碗。由此可知 “一只令人震惊的碗”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选A。

（2024·天津·二模）One of my earliest memories was walking up to the smell of camp smoke and my mother’s hot chocolate. My parents were poor, and we lived in the countryside in Portland. Dad had two jobs and Mom was disabled, but that didn’t stop them from heading into the Cascade Mountains several times a year.
Our clothes were old and worn and our food was usually cheap and simple. However, we were always satisfied with our hot chocolate, which was made in a traditional way handed down from my grandmother to my mother.
There was no store to buy anything we needed. We just had powdered cocoa in our camp.
Mom would set the smoke-blackened coffee pot at the side of the fire and slowly warm the milk, adding chocolate and sugar, and stirring (搅拌) until the contents became thick and rich brown. The wonderful smell of chocolate filled the camp. More than once, I could remember people that we had just met hours before stepping into our camp to enjoy mother’s creation.
Once we were trapped in our tent (帐篷) for days because of a terrible rainstorm. Every morning I was woken up by the attractive smell of Mom’s hot chocolate.
Now, many years have passed, when we head for the mountains, I still use that worn coffee pot. And we always bring extra cups for the neighbours who will certainly turn up.
I have told my family a lot about Mom, and it seems that nothing brings back those warm memories better than sitting around the fire at night and tasting sweet hot chocolate.

【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C 16. B
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者最早的记忆是母亲做的热巧克力的气味，父母很穷，住在波特兰的乡村，爸爸有两份工作，妈妈残疾，但这并没有阻止他们每年几次前往喀斯喀特山脉宿营，母亲的热巧克力始终是作者记忆里最温馨的一幕。
12. 细节理解题。根据第一段“My parents were poor，and we lived in the countryside in Portland.(我的父母很穷，住在波兰特的乡下)”可知，作者小时候生活在村里。故选A。
13. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Mom was disabled(妈妈是残疾的)”可知，母亲是残疾的，第四段的“More than once, I could remember people that we had just met hours before stepping into our camp to enjoy mother’s creation.(不止一次，我记起那些在我们走进营房前刚刚遇到的人，来享受母亲的创造的东西)”可知，刚刚认识的人会来享受母亲制作的美味。由此可知，母亲是善良的，慷慨的。从文中无法看出作者的母亲是严肃的，D项表示错误，故选D。
14. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“My parents were poor”可知，作者的父母很贫穷。故选A。
15. 词句猜测题。根据第五段第一句中的“because of a terrible rainstorm.(因为一场可怕的暴风雨)”可推知，因为一场可怕的暴雨，“我们”被困在帐篷里好几天，故trapped意为：被困住。与Caught意思相近，故选C。
16. 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“One of my earliest memories was walking up to the smell of camp smoke and my mother’s hot chocolate.(我最早的记忆之一就是走向营地闻到的营地的烟的味道以及我母亲的热巧克力的味道)”以及下文不断提到的母亲的热巧克力可推断，本文主要讲述了我最早的记忆之一是母亲做的热巧克力的气味，是作者记忆中最温暖的一幕。由此推知，B项“妈妈的热巧克力”为最佳标题，起点睛的作用。故选B。

（2024·江西·南昌二模）After beating bone cancer, Hayley Arceneaux thinks rocketing into orbit on SpaceX’s first private flight should be no problem at all. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital announced the 29-year-old doctor’s assistant will rocket into space later this year.
Arceneaux, a former patient at St. Jude, will become the youngest American in space, beating NASA record-holder Sally Ride by over two years. She will travel with businessman Jared Isaacman, who is using the spaceflight he bought to raise money for charity. Two other yet-to-be-chosen space flyers will join them. Arceneaux will be the first person to launch with a prosthesis an artificial device that replaces a missing or injured part of the body. When she was 10, Arceneaux had an operation at St. Jude to replace her knee and a piece of metal was put in her left leg. She still limps and has occasional leg pain.
“My battle with cancer really prepared me for space travel,” she recently told The Associated Press. “It made me tough, and then also I think it really taught me to expect the unexpected and go along for the ride.” Arceneaux wants to show her young patients and other cancer survivors that “the sky is not even the limit anymore.” “It’s going to mean so much to these kids to see a survivor in space.” she said.
Isaacman announced his space flight on February 1, promising to raise $200 million for St. Jude. As the flight’s self-appointed commander, he offered one of the four seats aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft to St. Jude. The hospital chose Arceneaux from among its many workers who had once been patients. The idea was that one of them could represent the new generation, noted Rick Shadyac, president of St. Jude’s financing organization.
Arceneaux was at home in Memphis, Tennessee, when she got a surprising call in January. She was asked if she would represent St. Jude in space. As a lifelong space fan who loves adventures, Arceneaux has traveled widely and loves roller coasters. Isaacman, who flies fighter airplanes for fun, considers her a perfect fit. The launch is planned for this fall at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, with the spacecraft orbiting Earth for two to four days.
17. Which statement is true about Hayley Arceneaux
A. She works where she used to be a patient.
B. She is an adventure hater.
C. She is the youngest American in space.
D. She is the first woman space flyer.
18. What’s the correct order for what happened to Hayley Arceneaux
a. She received a surprising call. b. She was diagnosed with a serious disease.
c. She was chosen to rocket into space. d. She was operated on at St.Jude.
A. a c d b B. b c d a C. b d a c D. c a b d
19. What’s the purpose of the space flight
A. To carry out medical research.
B. To explore space.
C. To expect the unexpected.
D. To collect money.
20. How can we describe Hayley Arceneaux
A. Generous and strong.
B. Caring and optimistic.
C. Brave and honest.
D. Patient and representative.
【答案】17. A 18. C 19. D 20. B
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了10岁时，海莉·阿尔西诺在圣裘德做了一个膝盖置换手术，在左腿上植入了一块金属。她仍然一瘸一拐的，腿偶尔疼痛。海莉·阿尔西诺战胜了骨癌，她认为通过太空探索技术公司的第一次私人飞行进入轨道根本不是问题。圣犹大儿童研究医院宣布，这位29岁医生的助手将于今年晚些时候飞入太空，此次太空飞行的目的就是为慈善机构筹集资金。
17. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“the 29-year-old doctor's assistant（这位29岁医生的助手）”以及第二段开头的“Arceneaux, a former patient at St.Jude（阿尔西诺以前是圣犹大医院的病人）”可知她在以前住院的地方工作。 故选A项。
18. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“After beating bone cancer, Hayley Arceneaux thinks rocketing into orbit on SpaceX’s first private flight should be no problem at all.（海莉·阿尔西诺战胜了骨癌，她认为通过太空探索技术公司的第一次私人飞行进入轨道根本不是问题。）”可知，她是在战胜骨癌之后进入太空的，我们还可判断出疾病in该是在做手术之前，所以选项b应该是在选项d之前；再根据第五段前两句“Arceneaux was at home in Memphis, Tennessee, when she got a surprising call in January. She was asked if she would represent St. Jude in space.（今年1月，阿塞诺在田纳西州孟菲斯的家中接到了一个令人惊讶的电话。她被问及是否愿意在太空中代表圣犹大。）”可知，她是接到电话之后被问是否愿意进入太空在飞向太空的，可判断出选项a在选项c之前。故选C项。
19. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容第二句“ She will travel with businessman Jared Isaacman, who is using the spaceflight he bought to raise money for charity. （她将和商人贾里德·艾萨克曼一起旅行，艾萨克曼将利用他购买的太空飞船为慈善机构筹集资金。）”以及根据第四段第一句“Isaacman announced his space flight on February 1, promising to raise $200 million for St. Jude. （艾萨克曼于2月1日宣布了他的太空计划，并承诺为圣犹大筹集2亿美元。）”可知，此次太空飞行的目的就是为慈善机构筹集资金。故选D项。
20. 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“After beating bone cancer, Hayley Arceneaux thinks rocketing into orbit on SpaceX’s first private flight should be no problem at all.（海莉·阿尔西诺战胜了骨癌，她认为通过太空探索技术公司的第一次私人飞行进入轨道根本不是问题。）”，第二段第二句“ She will travel with businessman Jared Isaacman, who is using the spaceflight he bought to raise money for charity. （她将和商人贾里德·艾萨克曼一起旅行，艾萨克曼将利用他购买的太空飞船为慈善机构筹集资金。）”以及根据第二段最后两句“When she was 10, Arceneaux had an operation at St. Jude to replace her knee and a piece of metal was put in her left leg. She still limps and has occasional leg pain.（10岁时，阿西尔诺在圣裘德做了一个膝盖置换手术，在左腿上植入了一块金属。她仍然一瘸一拐的，腿偶尔疼痛。）”可知做慈善说明她是个很有爱心，会关心他人的人，带着病痛依然积极面对现在的生活说明她是一个乐观的人。故选B项。

（2024·河北石家庄·模拟预测）Polar bears are icons of the Arctic. Detailed monitoring of their populations is crucial for their conservation—but because polar bears are so difficult to find, we are missing critical data about population size. Scientists have now developed a new tool to help: DNA analysis using skin cells left in the bears’ footprints in the snow.
The scientists were inspired by the techniques that can be applied to tiny, degraded DNA samples. With these techniques, it isn’t necessary to physically capture bears, which can be stressful and dangerous for both bears and humans. Instead, the researchers can turn to the snow tracks of polar bears and look at sources of DNA left in passing—environmental DNA. "The tracks usually contain fresh cells, and the DNA is intact because of the cold’ storage’ temperature, "said Dr. Melanie Lancaster of the World Wide Fund, lead author.
The scientists collected snow from individual tracks made by Alaskan polar bears in the wild. Additional materials like hair and saliva(唾液)were sampled, confirming that the tracks provided accurate genotype(基因型) 24 wild polar bear tracks were sampled. The researchers melted and filtered the snow to collect environmental DNA, then carried out micro-satellite analysis. Although the concentrations (浓度)of DNA taken from trucks sampled in the wild were very low, 13 of the wild polar bear samples could be genotype, identifying 12 different individuals.
This technique has huge potential to inform conservation of these animals, to better understand their populations and behavior. Although the sampling has a lower success rate, ease of collection means that it can significantly expand sample sizes.
"We hope this method will be taken up by the polar bear research community, with the involvement of hunters, volunteers, and local communities, as a new way to collect information on polar bears, "said Lancaster. "We also hope the method will be expanded to other animals living in snowy environments. "
24. Why do scientists develop the new method
A. To improve the environment in the Arctic.
B. To protect humans from the polar bears attack.
C. To find solutions to global climate change.
D. To gather essential data for monitoring polar bears.
25. What does the underlined word “intact” mean in paragraph 2
A. Unknown.
B. Undamaged.
C. Unusual.
D. Unstable.
26. What did the scientists do in the study
A. They tracked and caught polar bears in the wild.
B. They recorded the bears’ behaviors with cameras.
C. They analyzed DNA from polar bears’ snowy footprints.
D. They compared the polar bears’ genotype with other animals
27. What is Lancaster’s attitude toward the method
A. Disapproving.
B. Favorable.
C. Uncertain.
D. Suspicious.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍研究人员通过分析北极熊雪地脚印中的DNA, 创造了一种保护北极熊的开创性方法。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Polar bears are icons of the Arctic. Detailed monitoring of their populations is crucial for their conservation—but because polar bears are so difficult to find, we are missing critical data about population size. Scientists have now developed a new tool to help: DNA analysis using skin cells left in the bears’ footprints in the snow.”（由于北极熊很难找到，缺少关于种群规模的关键数据。科学家们现在开发了一种新的帮助工具：利用熊在雪地里留下的足迹中脱落的皮肤细胞进行DNA分析。）由此可知，科学家们是为了获取监测北极熊的关键数据。故选D项。
25. 词义猜测题。根据上文“The tracks usually contain fresh cells”（这些足迹通常包含新鲜细胞）根据下文“because of the cold’ storage’ temperature”（由于低温“储存”温度）可知，DNA是完好无损的。由此推断，“intact”意为“完好无损的”。故选B项。
26. 细节理解题。根据第三段“The scientists collected snow from individual tracks made by Alaskan polar bears in the wild. Additional materials like hair and saliva(唾液)were sampled, confirming that the tracks provided accurate genotype(基因型) 24 wild polar bear tracks were sampled. The researchers melted and filtered the snow to collect environmental DNA, then carried out micro-satellite analysis.”（科学家们从阿拉斯加北极熊在野外留下的足迹中收集雪。对毛发和唾液等额外材料进行了采样，证实了这些足迹提供了准确的基因型。研究人员融化并过滤雪以收集环境DNA，然后进行微卫星分析。）可知，科学家分析了北极熊雪地脚印的DNA。故选C项。
27. 推理判断题。文章最后一段Lancaster所说的“We hope this method will be taken up by the polar bear research community, with the involvement of hunters, volunteers, and local communities, as a new way to collect information on polar bears, said Lancaster. We also hope the method will be expanded to other animals living in snowy environments. ”（我们希望北极熊研究界采用这种方法，并让猎人、志愿者和当地社区参与进来，以此作为收集北极熊信息的新方法。我们还希望该方法能推广到生活在多雪环境中的其他动物。）由此推断，Lancaster赞同该研究方法。故选B项。

（2024·吉林白城·一模）People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual; they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of the individual.
People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train Have you marked the space around yourself as your If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!
If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about .And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you. Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space
28. The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because ________.
A. he had no place to sit
B. someone had invaded his “space”
C. too many people shared a section with him
D. some other people talked about things he didn’t know about
29. In Paragraph 4, the pronoun “them” refers to ________.
A. public spaces B. private spaces
C. local people D. other countries
30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. British people dislike marking their space.
B. You always feel at home in another country.
C. Most British people prefer living in houses to flats.
D. You can’t mark your private space in a foreign country.
31. The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers to ________.
A. own private spaces by living in houses
B. have one corner of their own in public places
C. realize the importance of “space” in communication
D. create their private spaces by talking with local people
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人们普遍认为英国人非常注重私人空间，其实人们通常习惯于标记自己的领域，不让他人侵占。
28. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry.（这个男人占着我这边桌子的空间。我很生气。）”可知，作者在去伦敦的火车上很生气，因为有人侵犯了他的“空间”。故选B。
29. 词句猜测题。根据上文“Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about .（当地人可以通过谈论你不知道的事情来创造他们的私人空间。）”和下文“so that they will enjoy being inside even more!（这样他们会更喜欢待在里面！）”可推知，them指代上文中提到的复数名词“Local people”（当地人）。故选C。
30. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes.（大多数英国人住在房子里而不是公寓里，而且许多人拥有自己的房子。）”可知，大多数英国人喜欢住房子而不是公寓。C项表述正确。故选C。
31. 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But if you understand it then it helps you. Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space （但如果你理解了，就会有所帮助。你难道不喜欢成为群体中的一员并“拥有”一点空间吗？）”可推知，这篇文章的主要目的是让读者意识到“空间”在交流中的重要性。故选C。

（2024·吉林通化·二模）A Wolf in Danger
What is happening to the timber wolf (森林狼) today
Native Americans and early settlers often went to sleep to the sound of a lonely lullaby (催眠曲). It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then. One kind was the North American timber wolf.
Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. In Colorado, people tried to help deer by shooting wolves. But then there were so many deer that many of them starved to death.
The timber wolf is on the endangered special list . Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth. People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, and highways. Timber wolves are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Michigan, and Minnesota.
This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever. Then, its lonely howl will never be heard again.
32. Animals that are in danger of disappearing from the earth are called a(n)_______species.
A. endangered
B. living
C. alive
D. lived
33. Wolves help the balance of nature because they _______.
A. are an endangered species
B. eat sick and weak animals
C. no longer live in forests
D. help the farmers
34. At one time, the timber wolf was found _______.
A. in many parts of North America
B. only in Colorado and Canada
C. in towns and cities in Alaska
D. in many parts of Africa
35. Which of the following happened first
A. People built towns and highways.
B. The timber wolf was driven away from its home.
C. People cut down the forests.
D. Timber wolves are endangered species.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了北美地区由于人为造成的森林破坏，致使森林狼数量减少，被列入了濒危物种，也许很快它们会永远消失。
32. 推理判断题。根据第四段“The timber wolf is on the endangered special list . Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth.(森林狼在濒危特别名单上。这个名单上的动物有从地球上消失的危险)”可知，那些有从地球上消失危险的动物被称为濒危动物。故选A。
33. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. (狼对自然界的平衡很重要，因为它们吃生病和虚弱的动物)”可知，狼有助于自然界的平衡，因为它们以生病和虚弱的动物为食，故选B。
34. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Native Americans and early settlers often went to sleep to the sound of a lonely lullaby (催眠曲). It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then.(美国原住民和早期定居者经常伴着一曲孤独的催眠曲入睡。那是远处森林里狼的嚎叫之声。那时有很多狼)”可知，过去曾经有一段时间，北美许多地区有许多森林狼，故选A。
35. 推理判断题。根据倒数两段中“People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, and highways.(人们为了建造房屋、城镇和公路通过砍伐森林来驱赶狼)”和“This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever.(这种特殊的动物可能很快就会从我们的森林中永远消失)”，并结合所给选项可知，森林狼的濒危过程中，人类的活动起了决定性作用，即：人们为了建造城镇和公路而去砍伐森林，将森林狼驱逐出自己的家园，从而导致森林狼的数量减少，列入了濒危物种。由此可知，这一结果首先是人们砍伐森林造成的。故选C。高考题型逐个击破-阅读理解之细节理解题
题型解读
一、阅读理解细节题的命题特点
1.直接信息题
在高考英语阅读理解试题中，假如答题信息可以直接从文中获取，我们称之为直接信息题。直接信息题常用特殊疑问词when、where、who、what、why和how 等来提问，只要在做题时针对所问内容进行标记，此类型题目很容易找到答案。可以说直接信息题是高中英语阅读 理解题目中最简单、最容易得分的题型。
2.归纳概括题
在高考英语阅读理解试题中，假如在答题时需要对文中两个或多个信息点进行归纳总结概括，我们称之为归纳概括题。
3.语意转换题
在高考英语阅读理解试题中，如果正确的选项是对文中信息进行了同义的转换，比如用近义词替换原文词语或用近义的短语进行文中信息的替换，我们称之为语意转换题。语意转换题有时候选项与原文语句在表达上存在较大差异，需要进行对比和整理后才能得出正确选项，此类题目相对其他阅读题型而言，难度较大。
数字计算题
在高考英语阅读理解试题中，假如在答题时需要对文中提供的数字进行简单的计算才可得出答案，我们称之为数字计算题。
无论哪种类型的细节题，我们在弄清楚题目所问之后，为保证该题型的答题准确率，关键在于把握住文章事实和细节，同时，抓住文章事实和细节也是做好其他类型题的基础。
二、几种干扰项设置方法
1. 偷换概念
把原文中关键词或限定词去掉或用其他词进行替换，使干扰选项看似与原文意思接近，实际却大相径庭，看似正确，实际却是错误选项。
2. 张冠李戴
本是张三做的事情推到李四身上，如若不够小心就会误选。这时候一定要看清文中与选项中的对象是否一致。
3.把未果当结果
出题人改变文中某句话的时态，如把将来时变成现在时，把未发生的事情当成已发生的事情，把未果当成结果。
4. 文不对题
选项中的描述与原文完全一致，的确是原文中的一个细节，它描述的是一个事实，但却不符合题目推理判断得出结论的要求。这时候就要回到题干，明确应选择的选项是依据原文所给信息推理判断出来的内容。
三、高考英语阅读理解细节题答案设置特点
1. 换词法
对原文句子中的关键词进行近义词或近义短语的替换，把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词，成为正确选项。
2. 简化语言法
把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化，成为正确答案。
3. 变换语态法
把原文中描述事实的语态进行转化，如原文使用的是被动语态，而在选项中转化成主动语态，使选项成为正确答案，但给考生制造了障碍。
4. 正话反说法
把原文中句子的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项，常用于“选择错误的选项”这种题型中。
解题技巧
把握细节理解题正确选项特征
同义替换
指对原文句子中的关键词进行同义替换。如把lose one's job换成了be out of work。有些细节理解题把原文中的一些词变换一下词性，如把important变换成of importance；改变原文中句子的语态，如主动语态与被动语态的转换。
信息归纳
用精炼的语言来概括原文中比较分散或复杂的信息，设置为正确答案。
正话反说
把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项。
原文原词
利用原文原词作为正确选项。
掌握细节理解题干扰选项特征
张冠李戴
是原文信息，但不是题目要求的内容。
无中生有
符合常识，但不是文章的内容。
曲解文意
与原文的内容极其相似，只是在某个细节处有些变动。
颠倒是非
在意思上与原文大相径庭甚至完全相反。
正误参半
部分正确，部分错误。
信息分类
一. 直接信息题
考生可以采取“关键词定位法”，即“带着问题找答案”的方法，通过定位找题眼。先从题干中提取关键性词语(题眼)，然后以此为线索，运用略读及寻读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此关键词相关的段落、语句，快速定位该题与哪一段哪一句有关，然后仔细推敲，仔细比较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别，在准确理解细节的前提下，最后确定答案。解题步骤为：
第一步：依据题干信息，择定位关键词
细节理解直接信息题一般是对文章局部内容的考查,且题目相对简单,所以,不必通篇细读全文,可先通过题干信息来选择定位关键词。关键词主要是题干中的名词、动词和数词,即问题的核心信息
第二步：依据关键词,回原文定位信息进行比对
确定了定位关键词后,运用略读及寻读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与题于有关的关键词,回到原文进行信息定位,然后将选项内容与原文信息比对,得出正确答案。
二. 间接信息题
相比直接信息题，命题的隐蔽性更强，正确选项一般都会在原文基础上进行改造。此类题目需要考生将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语义上的转换，有时还需要进一步的加工或整理。
三. 概括、归纳信息题
是指命题人用精炼的语言来概括原文中比较分散或复杂的信息，这是命题人设计细节理解题的正确选项时经常使用的手段之一。考生首先应依据题干指向，找到文中相应的信息区间，然后尝试用自己的语言去归纳总结文中的信息或事实，然后再看选项，挑选出和自己所归纳总结的信息最接近的选项作为正确答案。

（2024·江苏宿迁·一模）I was surprised to find the congestion (拥塞) outside Layla’s primary school was unusually absent—I’d driven right into a parking space, and I was on time, for once. The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours.
Before I could enquire my daughter Layla, Mr Trent, the deputy head, approached. “Mrs Pavis, did you not read our letter ” Letter What letter I had a history of not looking out for them, and not reading them in most cases. “The letter Of course. It must have just slipped my mind—I’ve been away with work.”
Now I was digging around in Layla’s messy schoolbag at home. Eventually, I found several letters, all addressing the same topic—parking outside the school gates. Apparently with some parents parking illegally, the police were about to get involved. “Why didn’t you give me these letters ” I demanded. Layla shrugged. “I forgot.” I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes.
I contained myself and figured out that they wanted the parents to car-pool (拼车). I spent the next half hour ringing round Layla’s friends’ parents, enquiring if they would like to car-pool with us. Unfortunately, they were all sorted. It was my own fault—I should have read those letters ages ago. “Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.” I flushed instantly. We were a disorganised family, and I was the one to blame.
I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school.
1. What did the author notice when the school was over
A. It was hard to find a parking space. B. Children were picked up in groups.
C. Her daughter was absent from class. D. She arrived much earlier than others.
2. What stopped the author criticizing her daughter
A. The reflection of her daily routine. B. The realization of her carelessness.
C. The knowledge of her kid’s character. D. The awareness of her kid’s depression.
3. Why did others refuse to car-pool with them according to Layla
A. Because they contacted them late. B. Because they failed to keep the house tidy.
C. Because they couldn’t be on time. D. Because they ignored the school’s request.
4. What can we learn from the passage
A. Action creates motivation. B. Mother’s love never changes.
C. It’s never too late to mend. D. Patience is the key to success.

（2024·四川成都·三模）A small bowl bought at a yard sale in Connecticut for just $ 35 has been identified as a rare 15th-century Chinese antique.
The blue-and-white bowl was made by China's royal court during the Ming dynasty. It is now expected to sell for up to $500,000, according to Sotheby's auction(拍卖)house in New York, where the auction will take place next month.
The purchase was made last year near New Haven, Connecticut. “I was just hanging around there aimlessly. But when I saw this bowl, I didn't even bargain over the $35 asking price,” the owner said. Shortly after the purchase, he sent photos of the bowl to auction specialists, who identified it as an item of historical significance.
Upon closer inspection, the artifact was found to have originated from the period of Yongle Emperor, who ruled from 1403 to 1424 - a period noted for its distinctive porcelain (瓷器)techniques. It's now valued between $300,000 and $500,000, with the top estimate nearly 14,300 times the amount it was purchased for.
“I was deeply attracted by the techniques. You can see why this bowl is so highly-valued from the very smooth porcelain body, silky glaze(上釉)and special blue coloring, which were never reproduced in later dynasties,” McAteer, an auction specialist, said.
“The Yongle Emperor improved the porcelain techniques and elevated the importance of porcelain from being an ordinary bowl into a true work of art. This small bowl has both practical and artistic value, ”McAteer said.
5. What can we infer about the bowl's owner
A. He found the bowl by accident.
B. He hesitated during the purchase.
C. He doubted whether the bowl was real.
D. He bought the bowl because it was cheap.
6. What makes the bowl so precious
A. The blue color on it. B. The long history it has.
C. The people who made it. D. The unique techniques used.
7. What does the underlined word “elevated” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Foresaw. B. Promoted.
C. Assessed. D. Acknowledged.
8. What's the best title of the text
A. An Amazing Bowl B. A Special Yard Sale
C. The Return of Porcelains D. A Man Making Fortune

（2024·天津·二模）One of my earliest memories was walking up to the smell of camp smoke and my mother’s hot chocolate. My parents were poor, and we lived in the countryside in Portland. Dad had two jobs and Mom was disabled, but that didn’t stop them from heading into the Cascade Mountains several times a year.
Our clothes were old and worn and our food was usually cheap and simple. However, we were always satisfied with our hot chocolate, which was made in a traditional way handed down from my grandmother to my mother.
There was no store to buy anything we needed. We just had powdered cocoa in our camp.
Mom would set the smoke-blackened coffee pot at the side of the fire and slowly warm the milk, adding chocolate and sugar, and stirring (搅拌) until the contents became thick and rich brown. The wonderful smell of chocolate filled the camp. More than once, I could remember people that we had just met hours before stepping into our camp to enjoy mother’s creation.
Once we were trapped in our tent (帐篷) for days because of a terrible rainstorm. Every morning I was woken up by the attractive smell of Mom’s hot chocolate.
Now, many years have passed, when we head for the mountains, I still use that worn coffee pot. And we always bring extra cups for the neighbours who will certainly turn up.
I have told my family a lot about Mom, and it seems that nothing brings back those warm memories better than sitting around the fire at night and tasting sweet hot chocolate.

（2024·江西·南昌二模）After beating bone cancer, Hayley Arceneaux thinks rocketing into orbit on SpaceX’s first private flight should be no problem at all. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital announced the 29-year-old doctor’s assistant will rocket into space later this year.
Arceneaux, a former patient at St. Jude, will become the youngest American in space, beating NASA record-holder Sally Ride by over two years. She will travel with businessman Jared Isaacman, who is using the spaceflight he bought to raise money for charity. Two other yet-to-be-chosen space flyers will join them. Arceneaux will be the first person to launch with a prosthesis an artificial device that replaces a missing or injured part of the body. When she was 10, Arceneaux had an operation at St. Jude to replace her knee and a piece of metal was put in her left leg. She still limps and has occasional leg pain.
“My battle with cancer really prepared me for space travel,” she recently told The Associated Press. “It made me tough, and then also I think it really taught me to expect the unexpected and go along for the ride.” Arceneaux wants to show her young patients and other cancer survivors that “the sky is not even the limit anymore.” “It’s going to mean so much to these kids to see a survivor in space.” she said.
Isaacman announced his space flight on February 1, promising to raise $200 million for St. Jude. As the flight’s self-appointed commander, he offered one of the four seats aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft to St. Jude. The hospital chose Arceneaux from among its many workers who had once been patients. The idea was that one of them could represent the new generation, noted Rick Shadyac, president of St. Jude’s financing organization.
Arceneaux was at home in Memphis, Tennessee, when she got a surprising call in January. She was asked if she would represent St. Jude in space. As a lifelong space fan who loves adventures, Arceneaux has traveled widely and loves roller coasters. Isaacman, who flies fighter airplanes for fun, considers her a perfect fit. The launch is planned for this fall at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, with the spacecraft orbiting Earth for two to four days.

（2024·河北石家庄·模拟预测）Polar bears are icons of the Arctic. Detailed monitoring of their populations is crucial for their conservation—but because polar bears are so difficult to find, we are missing critical data about population size. Scientists have now developed a new tool to help: DNA analysis using skin cells left in the bears’ footprints in the snow.
The scientists were inspired by the techniques that can be applied to tiny, degraded DNA samples. With these techniques, it isn’t necessary to physically capture bears, which can be stressful and dangerous for both bears and humans. Instead, the researchers can turn to the snow tracks of polar bears and look at sources of DNA left in passing—environmental DNA. "The tracks usually contain fresh cells, and the DNA is intact because of the cold’ storage’ temperature, "said Dr. Melanie Lancaster of the World Wide Fund, lead author.
The scientists collected snow from individual tracks made by Alaskan polar bears in the wild. Additional materials like hair and saliva(唾液)were sampled, confirming that the tracks provided accurate genotype(基因型) 24 wild polar bear tracks were sampled. The researchers melted and filtered the snow to collect environmental DNA, then carried out micro-satellite analysis. Although the concentrations (浓度)of DNA taken from trucks sampled in the wild were very low, 13 of the wild polar bear samples could be genotype, identifying 12 different individuals.
This technique has huge potential to inform conservation of these animals, to better understand their populations and behavior. Although the sampling has a lower success rate, ease of collection means that it can significantly expand sample sizes.
"We hope this method will be taken up by the polar bear research community, with the involvement of hunters, volunteers, and local communities, as a new way to collect information on polar bears, "said Lancaster. "We also hope the method will be expanded to other animals living in snowy environments. "
24. Why do scientists develop the new method
A. To improve the environment in the Arctic.
B. To protect humans from the polar bears attack.
C. To find solutions to global climate change.
D. To gather essential data for monitoring polar bears.
25. What does the underlined word “intact” mean in paragraph 2
A. Unknown.
B. Undamaged.
C. Unusual.
D. Unstable.
26. What did the scientists do in the study
A. They tracked and caught polar bears in the wild.
B. They recorded the bears’ behaviors with cameras.
C. They analyzed DNA from polar bears’ snowy footprints.
D. They compared the polar bears’ genotype with other animals
27. What is Lancaster’s attitude toward the method
A. Disapproving.
B. Favorable.
C. Uncertain.
D. Suspicious.

（2024·吉林白城·一模）People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual; they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of the individual.
People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train Have you marked the space around yourself as your If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!
If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about .And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you. Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space

（2024·吉林通化·二模）A Wolf in Danger
What is happening to the timber wolf (森林狼) today
Native Americans and early settlers often went to sleep to the sound of a lonely lullaby (催眠曲). It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then. One kind was the North American timber wolf.
Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. In Colorado, people tried to help deer by shooting wolves. But then there were so many deer that many of them starved to death.
The timber wolf is on the endangered special list . Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth. People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, and highways. Timber wolves are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Michigan, and Minnesota.
This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever. Then, its lonely howl will never be heard again.
32. Animals that are in danger of disappearing from the earth are called a(n)_______species.

(三)推理判断题干扰选项特征
1. 曲解文意：即推测意义与文章表层意义有区别。推理判断题中有些选项来自文章中的某一句或某几句话，命题者可能会利用里面的词设计出干扰项，看似表达文章的意思，其实是借题发挥，是对原文意思的曲解。
2. 张冠李戴：即把文章中作者的观点与其他人的观点混淆在一起。题干问的是作者的观点，选项中出现的却是其他人的观点；题干问的是其他人的观点，选项中却出现了作者的观点。
3. 偷梁换柱：干扰项用了与文章中某一句话相似的句型结构和单词，却在考生易忽视的地方换了几个单词，造成句意的改变。
4. 无中生有：这种类型的干扰项往往是基本的生活常识或普遍认可的观点，但在文章中并无相关的信息支撑点。其次，这种干扰项也有可能与设置的问题毫不相干。
5. 鱼目混珠：鱼目混珠类型的干扰项常出现在词句理解类试题的选项中，即利用某个词或句子的字面含义代替其在文章特定语境中的具体含义。
6. 扩缩范围：为了准确、严密地表达文章内容，命题者特别注意对文意范围的限定，有时通过加上almost, all, nearly, more than, normally, usually等词语对文意加以限制。“扩缩范围”干扰法就是在选项中通过改变或去掉限制性词语，将信息的范围、程度、感彩等改变，从而给考生解题造成干扰的命题方法。
做这类题目时，容易用自己的理解和观点替代文章的真正含义和作者的观点，或者由文中其他事实和证据得出结论，并非由题干相关的证据所得，因此，解题时一定要认真分析题干信息，着眼文章，准确定位。

（2024·云南昆明·三模）Bangladesh's floating gardens, built to grow food during flood seasons, could offer a continuous solution for parts of the world which are likely to suffer from flooding because of climate change, a new study has found.
Bangladesh's floating gardens began hundreds of years ago. The gardens are made from native plants that float in the rivers and operate almost like rafts (筏), rising and filling with the waters. Historically, they were used to continue growing food during rainy seasons when rivers were filled with water.
The farmers layer the plants about three feet deep, creating a version of raised-bed gardens that float in the water. Then, they plant vegetables inside those rafts. As the raft-plants rot away, they release nutrients, which help feed the vegetable plants.
But as climate change affected the volume of water in those rivers, the researchers wanted to understand whether Bangladesh's floating gardens could be a continuous farming practice. They interviewed farming families and found strong evidence that floating gardens provide stability, both in the amount of food available to feed rural populations and in a farming family's income.
They found that farmers typically use hybrid (杂交) seeds, which must be repurchased each year, to grow a diverse range of vegetables in the floating gardens. The gardens are also sensitive to pests, so farmers end up spending some money on both pesticides and fertilizers. But even with those expenses, they found, benefits outweighed costs. One farmer told the research team that he earns up to four times as much money from the gardens as from traditional rice fields.
However, before gaining profits, farmers often take out high-interest loans (贷款) to cover the investment costs of filling the beds and stocking them with plants. Luckily; there are also lower-interest loans from responsible government or non-governmental organizations, which could ease that burden.
1. How do vegetable plants grow according to the text
A. By absorbing nutrition from raft-plants. B. By taking shelter from climate change.
C. By living together with hybrid seeds. D. By moving up and down with raised beds.
2. What might be a reply from farming families interviewed
A. “Our life becomes tough when rivers flood.” B. “Fewer vegetables are planted when water rises.”
C. “We harvest much more food during rainy seasons.” D. “Climate change has little influence on our income.”
3. What does the underlined word “outweighed” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Affected. B. Brought. C. Beat. D. Equaled.
4. What can be inferred from the text
A. A solution to climate problem has been found. B. The gardens are built with rotted native plants.
C. Farmers earn more from traditional rice fields. D. Low-interest loans lighten the stress of farmers.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. D
【分析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了孟加拉国为在汛期种植粮食而建造的浮动花园。
1. 细节理解题。根据文章“they plant vegetables inside those rafts. As the raft-plants rot away, they release nutrients, which help feed the vegetable plants.（他们在木筏里种蔬菜。当木筏植物腐烂时，它们会释放营养物质，帮助植物生长。）”可知，蔬菜植物是吸收木筏植物的营养生长的。故选A项。
2. 细节理解题。根据文章“They interviewed farming families and found strong evidence that floating gardens provide stability, both in the amount of food available to feed rural populations and in a farming family's income.（他们采访了农业家庭，发现了强有力的证据表明，无论是在可供农村人口食用的食物量方面，还是在农业家庭的收入方面，浮动花园都提供了稳定性。）”可知，农业家庭收入很稳定，所以气候变化对收入影响不大。故选D项。
3. 词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“One farmer told the research team that he earns up to four times as much money from the gardens as from traditional rice fields.”可知，一位农民告诉研究小组，他从菜园中赚到的钱是从传统稻田中赚到的钱的四倍，故此处想表达的是即使农民最终会在杀虫剂和肥料上花一些钱，但是收益也会大于成本。故outweighed意为“大于”。故选C项。
4. 推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“However, before gaining profits, farmers often take out high-interest loans (贷款) to cover the investment costs of filling the beds and stocking them with plants. Luckily; there are also lower-interest loans from responsible government or non-governmental organizations, which could ease that burden.（然而，在获得利润之前，农民往往会获得高息贷款(贷款) 以支付填充床和储存植物的投资成本。幸运的是；负责任的政府或非政府组织也提供低息贷款，可以减轻这种负担。）”可推知，作者想表达负责任的政府或非政府组织提供低息贷款，减轻了农民的压力。故选D项。

（2024·福建龙岩·二模）When I was young, I had a wrong understanding of being great. I believed I was special and different and should be rich and famous because of my talent. I was going to live my dream rather than being a “normal” person. But as time passed, reality set in and my perspective changed.
I am a teacher, married to a salesman with a baby and a mortgage（按揭贷款）. Could my life be more normal Yet, I am okay with this.
Were I to have a conversation with my twenty-year-old self, she wouldn't understand why I'm not going to NYC to get an audition（试演）. In four years my coworkers have never heard me sing. If I'd bought a house, it should have been in an interesting neighborhood with coffee houses at every corner. She would laugh at the corner house in the neighborhood I now call home.
But I know things she didn't know. Life is so much more complicated, wonderful and terrible. I know what it means to work for love, not just sitting back and letting it happen the way it can when you're young. I know about bringing life into the world, and the complexity of emotions.
My life is simple. It is small, and may seem interchangeable with so many other lives there. I may never make an impact outside my house. But I've learned it is important to be relative. To my little girl, I am irreplaceable. When she cries, she calls for “Mama”. When she reaches out, it's for me alone. So, is it a small life It's perfectly fine to me.

【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述作者年轻时认为自己将会有不平凡的人生，直到成年之后她才认识到自己的人生最终归于了平淡，平凡的生活和照顾家人才是自己一直想要的。
5. 推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was young, I had a wrong understanding of being great. I believed I was special and different and should be rich and famous because of my talent.（当我年轻的时候，我对伟大有一个错误的理解。我相信我是特别的，与众不同的，应该因为我的天赋而变得富有和出名。）”可知，作者年轻的时候认为自己很特别并且与众不同，由此可以推断作者是一个骄傲的人。故选C项。
6. 推理判断题。根据第三段“She would laugh at the corner house in the neighborhood I now call home.（她会嘲笑我现在称之为家的那个角落里的房子。）”可知，年轻时的作者可能不会理解现在自己的处境，第四段“But I know things she didn't know. Life is so much more complicated, wonderful and terrible.（但我知道一些她不知道的事。生活是如此复杂，精彩和可怕。）”说明作者经历了一些事情之后认知发生了变化，所以作者想象和二十岁的自己对话是为了表明她变得成熟了。故选A项。
7. 推理判断题。根据第二段“I am a teacher, married to a salesman with a baby and a mortgage（按揭贷款）. Could my life be more normal Yet, I am okay with this.（我是一名教师，嫁给了一名推销员，有孩子，还欠着房贷。我的生活能更平常一点吗？然而，我对此没有意见。）”和最后一段“To my little girl, I am irreplaceable. When she cries, she calls for “Mama”. When she reaches out, it's for me alone. So, is it a small life It's perfectly fine to me. In fact, I think it's what I've wanted all along.（对我的小女儿来说，我是不可替代的。当她哭的时候，她呼唤“妈妈”。她要是主动找人，就只找我一个人。所以，这是一个渺小的生活吗？对我来说完全没问题。事实上，我觉得这是我一直想要的。）”可知，作者目前的焦点是照顾她的家庭。故选D项。
8. 推理判断题。文章第一段主要讲述作者年轻时认为自己将会有不平凡的人生，后面几段讲述直到成年之后她才认识到自己的人生最终归于了平淡，平凡的生活和照顾家人才是自己一直想要的。所以作者在文中想要告诉我们的是，我们每个人的生活最终会归于平凡。故选B项。

（2024·浙江·三模）In many cultures, it is considered unlucky to spill salt. Fortunately, many cultures also have a solution to the problem, which usually involves throwing a pinch of salt over your shoulder. It may seem confusing to modern humans, but knowing that salt was once incredibly valuable can change this perspective.
For thousands of years, salt was an extremely rare commodity. It was difficult to obtain so that the price was very high. Many trading routes were set up to carry salt, people were paid in salt, and salt was sometimes worth more than its weight in gold. Therefore, spilling salt was considered wasteful.
Because of its high value, salt was also associated with friendship and good fortune. Offerings of salt were included in many religious ceremonies, and people might bring salt to a new home for good luck. These associations would have suggested that it would be bad luck to spill salt, since it would seem to violate salt’s fortunate properties.
Salt is also an excellent preservative. It prevents food from going bad. As such, it came to be linked with health and longevity. In some cultures, spilling salt was thought to reduce one's well-being. In Britain, for example, each spilled grain was said to represent a tear, while in Germany spilled salt awakened the devil, bringing misfortune.
The fear of spilling salt was also adopted into the Christian faith. It is said that Judas spilled salt at the Last Supper, and since he later turned out to be the betrayer of Christ, spilled salt is considered unlucky by many Christians.
Should you be unfortunate enough to spill salt, you might throw a pinch over your left shoulder to blind the Devil.
9. Spilling salt was probably thought to bring bad luck because ________.
A. it was a Christian faith B. salt was linked with misfortune
C. it would decrease one’s lifespan D. salt was always expensive than gold
10. What does the underlined word “preservative” probably mean in Paragraph 4
A. Protector. B. Flavor. C. Medium. D. Solution.
11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce the history of salt. B. To show ways to avoid misfortune.
C. To explain the beliefs about spilling salt. D. To entertain readers with some anecdotes.
【答案】9. C 10. A 11. C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上一些关于洒盐的观念以及应对方法。
9. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“As such, it came to be linked with health and longevity. In some cultures, spilling salt was thought to reduce one's well-being. In Britain, for example, each spilled grain was said to represent a tear, while in Germany spilled salt awakened the devil, bringing misfortune.(因此，它与健康和长寿联系在一起。在一些文化中，洒盐被认为会降低幸福感。例如，在英国，每一粒洒下的谷物据说代表一滴眼泪，而在德国，洒下的盐唤醒了魔鬼，带来了不幸)”可知，人们可能认为撒盐会带来厄运，是因为这会缩短人的寿命。故选C。
10. 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“It prevents food from going bad.(它可以防止食物变质)”可知，盐可以防止食物变质，所以是是一种很好的食物保护物，即划线词意思是“保护物”。A. Protector.保护物；B. Flavor.风味；C. Medium.中等；D. Solution.解决方案。故选A。
11. 推理判断题。根据第一段“In many cultures, it is considered unlucky to spill salt. Fortunately, many cultures also have a solution to the problem, which usually involves throwing a pinch of salt over your shoulder. It may seem confusing to modern humans, but knowing that salt was once incredibly valuable can change this perspective. (在许多文化中，洒盐被认为是不吉利的。幸运的是，许多文化也有解决这个问题的办法，通常是在你身后洒一撮盐。 这可能让现代人感到困惑，但知道盐曾经非常有价值可以改变这种看法)”结合文章主要介绍了世界上一些关于洒盐的观念以及应对方法。由此推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是解释一些关于洒盐的信仰。故选C。

（2024·湖南·长沙三模）When Kirk Alexander went missing for 11 days, an unlikely savior came to his rescue： his neighborhood pizza store.
Almost every night for more than ten years. Kirk Alexander, 48, of Salem, Oregon ordered a late dinner from his local Domino's pizza store. He had no signature order. Sometimes he would call for a salad, sometimes a pie, sometimes chicken wings. The only sure thing for the staff of the Silverton Road Domino's was that they would see Alexander's name show up on their online ordering site sometime between 11 p. m. and midnight several times a week.
Until suddenly, for nearly two weeks at the end of April 2016, they didn't.
It was a slow Saturday night on May 7th when Domino's general manager Sarah Fuller felt she could no longer ignore Alexander's recent absence.
“I went and looked up to see how long it had been since he last ordered,” Fuller told . “It was 11 days, which was not like him at all.”
Fuller knew Alexander worked from home, and neighbors said he rarely left. She also knew that he had suffered some health issues in the past. Something, Fuller worried, was wrong.
Around 1 a. m. on Sunday. May 8, Fuller sent longtime delivery driver Tracey Hamblen to stop in at Alexander's home. Hamblen approached Alexander's door as he had countless times before and knocked. He could plainly see that Alexander's TV set was on, as were his lights; but after several minutes, Alexander still didn't answer the door.
Hamblen rushed back to the store to relay the upsetting developments to Fuller. She encouraged Hamblen to dial 911. Soon, officers were on their way.
When deputies from the Marion County Sheriff's office arrived at Alexander's house, they heard a man “calling for help from inside the residence, deputies said. They broke the door down, and found Alexander on the floor in need of immediate medical attention. One day later, and they might have been too late.
Alexander was rushed to Salem Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition shortly after the dramatic rescue. In the following weeks, Fuller, Hamblen, and other store employees went to visit him with flowers and cards, noting that Alexander greeted them with knowing smiles.
12. How did Fuller sense that something was wrong
A. She knew Alexander had serious health problems.
B. Alexander hadn't ordered chicken wings for nearly 2 weeks.
C. Alexander had never before broken his routine in the store for 10 years.
D. Alexander had disappeared from the store's ordering system for about 2 weeks.
13. What can you infer from the underlined sentence
A. Hamblen was fond of knocking at Alexander's door.
B. Hamblen was more than an acquaintance to Alexander.
C. Every time Hamblen arrived at Alexander's house, he would knock first.
D. When Hamblen had enough time in the past, he would go to Alexander's house.
14. In which column of a newspaper will you probably read this article
A. Life. B. Technology. C. Healthy. D. Entertainment.
15. The saying we can learn from the story is .
A. Born in distress, die in peace B. Details determine success or failure
C. Even the wise are not always free from error D. Better late than never
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. B
【分析】本文为记叙文。讲述了细心周到的外卖店经理通过观察到常客Kirk Alexander 打破了每天订餐的习惯，派人上门了解情况，发现Kirk患病在家，及时报警，从而救了Kirk 性命的经过。
12. 细节理解题。根据第五段““I went and looked up to see how long it had been since he last ordered,” Fuller told . “It was 11 days, which was not like him at all.”(Fuller对说：“我抬头看了看，他上次点餐是多久以前的事，发现是11天前的事了，这完全不像他的风格。”)”可知，Fuller是通过发现Kirk最近已经有11天（差不多两周）没有在外卖店下单了，感觉到不对劲了。故选D。
13. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Almost every night for more than ten years. Kirk Alexander, 48, of Salem, Oregon ordered a late dinner from his local Domino's pizza store. He had no signature order. Sometimes he would call for a salad, sometimes a pie, sometimes chicken wings. The only sure thing for the staff of the Silverton Road Domino's was that they would see Alexander's name show up on their online ordering site sometime between 11 p. m. and midnight several times a week.(十多年来几乎每晚，俄勒冈州塞勒姆48岁的Kirk Alexander都会在当地的达美乐披萨店点了一份晚餐。他没有指定要什么吃的。有时他要沙拉，有时要派，有时要鸡翅。对西弗顿路达美乐的员工来说，唯一可以肯定的是，他们会在每周几次的晚上11点到午夜的某个时间看到亚历山大的名字出现在他们的在线订购网站上)”以及画线部分上文“Around 1 a. m. on Sunday. May 8, Fuller sent longtime delivery driver Tracey Hamblen to stop in at Alexander's home.(周日5月8日凌晨1点左右，Fuller让长期送货司机Tracey Hamblen去了Alexander的家)”可推知，Alexander经常点外卖，而Hamblen是派送员，所以可推测Hamblen跟Alexander十分熟识。故选B。
14. 推理判断题。阅读文章内容可知，文章讲述了细心周到的外卖店经理通过观察到常客Kirk Alexander 打破了每天订餐的习惯，派人上门了解情况，发现Kirk患病在家，及时报警，从而救了Kirk 性命的经过。本文属于生活故事，应该出现在报纸的“生活”栏目。故选A。
15. 推理判断题。根据第四段“It was a slow Saturday night on May 7th when Domino's general manager Sarah Fuller felt she could no longer ignore Alexander's recent absence.(5月7日，这是一个周六晚上，时间过得很慢，达美乐的总经理Sarah Fuller觉得她不能再忽视Alexander最近的缺席了)”可知，外卖店经理通过细心观察，察觉到了顾客Kirk点餐习惯发生的变化，最后救了Kirk的命，告诉了我们“细节决定成败”的道理。故选B。

（2024·新疆乌鲁木齐·一模）Money doesn’t grow on trees but gold does. Scientists in Western Australia claim to have made a new discovery—they have found gold in the leaves and branches of trees. The researchers believe that the trees suck up the gold from deep underground, over 30 metres down. The discovery has been described as the first of its kind in the world.
Australian gold exploration companies are pleased because it will make finding gold cheaper. Rather than drilling deep holes to find gold, they will be able to examine tree leaves and branches. The trees show what is happening under the earth’s surface. There is only a tiny amount of gold in the leaves. It would take 500 trees to make one gold ring. The gold is found using a special X-ray machine and a powerful microscope, which scan the leaves and branches.
The claim is that this is the first time that gold particles have been found in living material. However, this might not be true. Ancient Chinese wisdom understood the connection between plants and the precious stones and minerals underneath them. They used plant life to find minerals — and that was thousands of years ago. In the Zhou Dynasty, it was written in a book that a certain plant grew only near deposits (矿床) of gold. Over the next 2,000 years, Chinese people wrote about different plants and how they grew, showing where minerals and precious stones such as jade, copper, lead, silver and gold were Even more importantly, in the 1000s, Su Song described how Portulaca plants could yield mercury if crushed, dried and allowed to decay (腐烂). That was certainly the first time ever that a metal was obtained from a plant.
The Previous Secrets of the Realm of the King of Xin, written during the Ming Dynasty, described how different metals were observed and extracted (提炼) from certain plants. This knowledge was unknown in the rest of the world until about 1600, when a British man realised that oak trees grew larger and greener where there was alum in the ground. Maybe ancient Chinese knowledge has more to teach modern scientists.
19. According to Australian scientists, where can gold be probably found
A. In the roots of trees. B. In the leaves of trees.
C. In the trees everywhere. D. In the underground near trees.
20. How can we tell whether there is gold or not
A. By drilling deep holes in the trees.
B. By cutting the leaves of trees into pieces.
C. By examining the surface of the ground under the trees.
D. By scanning the leaves and branches using a special microscope.
21. Who first found the link between plants and minerals
A. Australian scientists. B. Su Song.
C. Ancient Chinese people. D. A British man.
22. The author develops Paragraph 4 mainly by ________.
A. using examples B. making comparisons
C. listing figures D. analyzing effects
【答案】19. B 20. D 21. C 22. B
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了澳大利亚科学家发现在树叶中可以找到金子，事实上古代中国人早就发现了植物和矿物质之间的联系。
19. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Scientists in Western Australia claim to have made a new discovery—they have found gold in the leaves and branches of trees.”可知，澳大利亚西部的科学家们声称他们在树叶和树枝中发现了金子，也就是说澳大利亚科学家认为在树叶中可以找到金子，故B项正确。
20. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The gold is found using a special X-ray machine and a powerful microscope, which scan the leaves and branches.”可知，用一种特殊的显微镜扫描树叶和树枝可以知道是否有金子，故D项正确。
21. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ancient Chinese wisdom understood the connection between plants and the precious stones and minerals underneath them.”可知，中国古代的智慧理解植物和它们下面的宝石和矿物质之间的联系，也就是是古代中国人最先发现植物和矿物质之间的联系的，故C项正确。
22. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The Previous Secrets of the Realm of the King of Xin, written during the Ming Dynasty, described how different metals were observed and extracted (提炼) from certain plants. This knowledge was unknown in the rest of the world until about 1600, when a British man realised that oak trees grew larger and greener where there was alum in the ground”可知，写于明朝的《辛朝秘笈》描述了从某些植物中观察和提取不同金属的过程，而直到1600年左右，一位英国人才发现，在有明矾的地方，橡树会长得又大又绿，因此第四段是通过作比较的手法展开的，故B项正确。

（2024·安徽淮南·二模）In late May, storms flooded streets in Florida. The floods made cars sink and turned roads into brown rivers. Flash flooding can happen when storm drains get blocked up and, especially during hurricanes, overflow into streets. It’s the leading cause of weather-related deaths.
A team of local middle-school students has a plan to stop this ongoing problem. Alyssa, Bianca and Jose are sixth-graders. The Doral students designed a device to warn city workers when and where there is a danger of flooding. The team is one of five grand-prize winners of the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest. The contest asked for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) solutions to the biggest challenge facing a school community.
“I’ve been living here my entire life, and all of us have encountered problems with flooding,” says Bianca. “We knew that was the problem we were going to tackle.”
The students’ device uses a laser system called lidar, which stands for “light detection and ranging.” The device, if approved by the city government, could be attached to Doral’s 2,575 storm and manhole drains — one device per drain. If a drain gets blocked with sediment (沉积物), the device could send a warning message to the city’s stormwater management office. Then the stormwater manager could send someone to clean the drain.
Starting in March, the school was closed, so team meetings went virtual. Luckily, says Bianca, “We already had a prototype device, and we just had to adjust it some more ” They also had to pitch their idea virtually to contest judges.
Twenty finalist teams were cut down to the five grand-prize-winning teams. Each of the five teams won $100 000 for technology and supplies for their science classrooms. “We put m a lot of effort and had to trust each other and that each one knew what they were talking about,” says Alyssa.
23. How does the author start the text
A. With an image.
B. With some figures.
C. By raising questions.
D. By stating a phenomenon.
24. What can be known about the Doral students’ team
A. It is made up of five middle school students.
B. Its aim is to solve the problem of the drain flooding,
C. It has won first prize in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest.
D. Its members are trained in science, technology, engineering and math.
25. What is the author’s intention of quoting Bianca’s words in Para. 3
A. To list their challenges.
B. To explore their motivation.
C. To express their determination.
D. To prove their responsibility.
26. What is the main function of the students’ device
A. To inform the authorities when a drain is blocked.
B. To arrange for someone to clean the drain.
C. To prevent the drain from being blocked.
D. To help clear away sediment in the drain.
【答案】23. D 24. B 25. C 26. A
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是暴洪在佛罗里达州时有发生，且造成的后果非常严重，对于居住在佛罗里达州的人们来说，暴洪问题一直存在，所以必须要解决，一个学生团队设计了一项设备用于解决暴洪天气带来的排水系统进水的问题。
23. 推理判断题。根据第一段“In late May, storms flooded streets in Florida. The floods made cars sink and turned roads into brown rivers. Flash flooding can happen when storm drains get blocked up and, especially during hurricanes, overflow into streets. It’s the leading cause of weather-related deaths.(五月底，暴风雨淹没了佛罗里达州的街道。洪水使汽车下沉，道路变成褐色的河流。当暴雨排水渠堵塞时，暴洪就会发生，特别是在飓风期间，洪水会涌进街道。这是与天气有关的死亡的主要原因。)”可知暴洪在佛罗里达州时有发生，且造成的后果非常严重，作者在第一段陈述了这样的现象来引出下文，以此开展文章内容，故选D项。
24. 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Doral students designed a device to warn city workers when and where there is a danger of flooding. (多拉尔的学生们设计了一种装置，可以在有洪水危险的时间和地点警告城市工人。)”以及第四段“The students’ device uses a laser system called lidar, which stands for “light detection and ranging.” The device, if approved by the city government, could be attached to Doral’s 2,575 storm and manhole drains — one device per drain. If a drain gets blocked with sediment (沉积物), the device could send a warning message to the city’s stormwater management office. Then the stormwater manager could send someone to clean the drain.(学生们的设备使用一种叫做lidar的激光系统，意思是“光探测和测距”。如果市政府批准，该装置可以连接到多拉尔的2575个排水口和下水道——一个排水口安装一个装置。如果下水道被沉积物堵塞，该设备可以向城市雨水管理办公室发送警告信息。然后雨水管理人员可以派人去清理排水管。)”可知他们一起设计了一项装置，其目的是解决排水系统进水的问题，所以B项表述正确，故选B项。
25. 推理判断题。根据第三段““I’ve been living here my entire life, and all of us have encountered problems with flooding,” says Bianca. “We knew that was the problem we were going to tackle.”(“我一辈子都住在这里，我们所有人都遇到过洪水问题，”比安卡说。“我们知道这就是我们要解决的问题。”)”可知对于居住在佛罗里达州的人们来说，暴洪问题一直存在，所以必须要解决，由此可知作者在第三段引用比安卡的话是为了展示他们做这件事，即设计这个装置解决排水系统进水的问题的决心。故选C项。
26. 细节理解题。根据第四段“The students’ device uses a laser system called lidar, which stands for “light detection and ranging.” The device, if approved by the city government, could be attached to Doral’s 2,575 storm and manhole drains — one device per drain.

（2024山东·济南三模）While we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens (智人) somewhere thousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved is still unknown, and mainstream theories fall into two distinctly different camps.
One widely held theory is that language came about as an evolutionary adaptation. That was where the idea of natural selection came into play, which was the belief that the specific physical features of a population made that population more likely to survive its environment, like the turtle (海龟) and its shell. On one hand, humans needed to communicate with each other in order to hunt，farm and defend themselves successfully from the surrounding severe environment. Being able to communicate by using language gave the human species a distinct survival advantage. On the other hand, language was needed for social interaction, according to those who subscribed to the adaptation theory.
In their paper “Natural Language and Natural Selection,” researchers Steven Pinker and Paul Bloom theorized that a series of calls or gestures evolved over time into combinations, giving us complex communication, or language. As things became more complicated around them，humans needed a more complex system to convey information to one another. Early man saw a group of deer he wanted to hunt. He made a sound to his hunting partner that means “deer are nearby.” One day,a storm came in and the hunter noticed that thunder scared the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the storm passed. Over time, the same hunter also learned to recognize the warning signs for bad weather-dark skies and increased wind. Early man realized that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, he needed to tell his hunting partner to speed up the pursuit of the deer. Therefore, he came up with a series of sounds that refer to both the deer and the bad weather. That series of sounds was the beginning of an evolutionary adaptation that eventually became language.
As humans learned more about how to best survive, they developed a need to convey these survival methods to their population. To be brief, that's the adaptation theory.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. The evolution of language.
B. The paper on natural selection.
C. The differences between theories.
D. The introduction to human reproduction.
28. Why are the turtle and its shell mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To show the mystery of nature.
B. To support the evolutionary adaptation.
C. To stress the advantage of the turtle's shell.
D. To encourage people to study natural selection.
29. How does the author explain the adaptation theory in paragraph 3
A. By comparing. B. By listing data.
C. By carrying out a survey. D. By giving an example.
30. What will the author most probably tell us next
A. The exact place where humans came from.
B. The other theory of how language evolved.
C. The reasons why animals cannot form language.
D. The methods of humans' shaping non- verbal thinking.
【答案】27. A 28. B 29. D 30. B
【分析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了语言是如何进化的。
27. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens (智人) somewhere thousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved is still unknown, and mainstream theories fall into two distinctly different camps.”（虽然我们知道语言最早是在几千年前的智人中出现的，但语言如何发展的秘密仍然未知，主流理论分为两个截然不同的阵营）以及第二段“One widely held theory is that language came about as an evolutionary adaptation.”（一种广泛接受的理论是语言是一种进化适应。）可知，本文主要介绍了语言是如何进化的。故选A项。
28. 推理判断题。根据第二段前两句That was where the idea of natural selection came into play, which was the belief that the specific physical features of a population made that population more likely to survive its environment, like the turtle (海龟) and its shell.（那就是自然选择的想法开始起作用的地方，即人们相信种群的特定物理特征使该种群更有可能幸存于其环境中，例如海龟及其壳。）可知，作者提到海龟和龟壳是为了支持本段的中心论点：语言是作为一种进化适应而产生的。故选B项。
29. 推理判断题。根据第三段As things became more complicated around them，humans needed a more complex system to convey information to one another…Therefore, he came up with a series of sounds that refer to both the deer and the bad weather.（随着周围事物变得越来越复杂，人类需要一种更复杂的系统来彼此传递信息。因此，他想出了一系列指代鹿和天气的声音）可知，作者描述一个打猎的场景来说明语言的进化论，即用举例的方式来说明适应理论。故选D项。
30. 推理判断题。第一段“While we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens (智人) somewhere thousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved is still unknown, and mainstream theories fall into two distinctly different camps.”（虽然我们知道语言最早是在几千年前的智人中出现的，但语言如何发展的秘密仍然未知，主流理论分为两个截然不同的阵营）可知，主流理论分为两个截然不同的阵营，再根据最后一段“As humans learned more about how to best survive, they developed a need to convey these survival methods to their population. To be brief, that’s the adaptation theory.”（随着人们对如何最佳生存的了解越来越多，他们开始需要将这些生存方法传达给他们的人们。简而言之，这就是适应理论。）可知，两个不同的阵营，作者列举了其中的一种。由此推知，作者接下来最可能会告诉我们另一个语言进化理论。故选B项。

（2024高三上·黑龙江齐齐哈尔·二模）Bookstores are fascinating places. That’s because the books on the shelves can take you away to magical lands, help you learn a foreign language, or cook a delicious meal. But when your community is too small to house a real brick bookstore, sometimes you have to make a compromise. A mobile bookstore that brings books around the country was the result. That is the case for Rita Collins, 70, who dreamed of opening a used bookstore after retiring from teaching.
A business planning class from the American Booksellers Association convinced Collins to abandon her idea that opening a bookstore in the small town where she lives, which would not be sustainable. Eureka, Montana, located just seven miles from the Canadian border, only has a population of 1,517. Collins asked her instructors about a traveling bookstore on wheels and they were skeptical. But she persevered.
Collins was inspired by Dylans Mobile Bookstore, a traveling bookstore in Wales run by Jeff Towns. She contacted Jeff for advice but she was largely on her own when it came to building her bookstore. First, she had to find a vehicle large enough to stand in. Then she had to have it refitted with shelves that would hold the books at a 15-degree angle so that they would stay in place while in transit. Collins named her bookstore St Rita’s Traveling Bookstore, which has been on the road since 2015.
At first, she drove through Montana and then she made her first cross-country trip in 2016. After she retired in 2017, it became a full-time job all year round. Collins and her mobile bookstore have visited 30 states, stopping at festivals and events along the way. While the locations change, some things always stay the same. Collins loves meeting people and making connections. While she loves what she does, Collins doesn’t think she can keep doing it. In several years, she hopes to pass her traveling bookstore onto another bibliophile who shares the same interest and will keep it on the road.
31. Why did Collins abandon opening a bookstore
A. It would cost a lot of money. B. It was not promising.
C. It would be out of date. D. It was not approved.
32. Why were the shelves designed at a 15-degree angle
A. To beautify the mobile bookstore.
B. To make full use of space of the shelves.
C. To keep the bookstore’s balance.
D. To protect the books from falling down.
33. Which of the following can best describe Collins
A. Merciful and delightful. B. Intelligent and reasonable.
C. Determined and social. D. Generous and lovely.
34. What does the underlined word “bibliophile” in the last paragraph mean
A. A book lover. B. A publisher.
C. A famous writer. D. An editor.
【答案】31. B 32. D 33. C 34. A

（2021·辽宁·模拟预测）Soft robots, which can move around the ocean without harming sea life, are ideal for underwater exploration. However, they are not so welcome in robot market because they are extremely slow and have a hard time operating through the water. But that may change soon thanks to a self-driven soft robot created by researchers at the University of California, San Diego.
The recently-developed robot, which resembles a paper lantern, was primarily built using soft materials. Its flexible ribs are attached to a circular plate at both ends. An adjustable nozzle (喷嘴) fitted on one side helps draw in and jet (射出) water each time the robot shrinks. The resulting jets of water enable it to swim forward, similar to a squid (乌贼). A plate holds a waterproof component that can house a camera to record data, which is of great value to further development of the robot. It also has its own power source, allowing it to float autonomously for long periods of time.
“Essentially, we recreated all the key features that squids use for high-speed swimming. This is the first robot that can achieve these jets of water by changing its body shape, which improves swimming efficiency,” said Professor Michael T. Though the squid robot has not been tested in open waters, it successfully swam around coral and fish in a large tank in the UC San Diego Birch Aquarium. What’s more, the robot clocked an impressive speed of 18 to 32 centimeters per second, or about half a mile per hour. Though nowhere close to real squids, it is faster than most other soft robots.
“After we were able to improve the design of the robot so that it would swim in a tank in the lab, it was especially exciting to see that the robot was able to successfully swim in a large tank among coral and fish, showing its possibility for real-world applications,” said Caleb Christianson, who led the study as part of his Ph. D paper.
35. Why were the previous soft robots seldom used
A. Their application places are limited.
B. They do great damage to sea life.
C. They are very difficult to control.
D. Their advertising effect is hot good.
36. What’s the similarity between the newly-developed robot and squids
A. Their body material. B. Their general speed.
C. Their power source. D. Their swimming pattern.
37. What can we learn about the squid robot according to Paragraph 3
A. It is the first robot that can transform.
B. It will function well in open waters.
C. It has every feature that a squid has.
D. It can defeat most other soft robots in speed.
38. What’s Caleb Christianson’s attitude towards the newly-developed robot
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
【答案】35. C 36. D 37. D 38. A
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型软体机器人，包括它的行进原理、目前取得的进展及其应用成果。
35. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, they are not so welcome in robot market because they are extremely slow and have a hard time operating through the water. (然而，它们在机器人市场并不受欢迎，因为它们速度极慢，在水中操作也很困难。)”可知，早期的软体机器人在机器人市场中并不受欢迎是因为它们在水中移动得非常慢而且难以在水中操控。故选C项。
36. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The resulting jets of water enable it to swim forward, similar to a squid (乌贼).(喷射出来的水流使它能够向前游动，就像乌贼一样。)”可知，新型软体机器人在水中（向前）移动的方式和乌贼游动的方式相似。故选D项。
37. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“What’s more, the robot clocked an impressive speed of 18 to 32 centimeters per second, or about half a mile per hour. Though nowhere close to real squids, it is faster than most other soft robots. (更重要的是，这个机器人的速度达到了每秒18到32厘米，也就是大约每小时半英里。虽然与真正的乌贼（的游动速度）相差甚远，但它比其他大多数软机器人都要快。)”可知，这种新型机器人的行进速度大约是每小时半英里，它比其他大多数软体机器人（的移动速度）都要快。故选D项。
38. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“it was especially exciting to see that the robot was able to successfully swim in a large tank among coral and fish, showing its possibility for real-world applications (尤其令人兴奋的是，看到这个机器人能够成功地在一个大水族箱的珊瑚和鱼中游泳，展示了它在现实世界中被应用的可能性)”可知，Caleb Christianson表示看到这种新型软体机器人能在水族箱中成功地游泳是一件很令人兴奋的事，这也展示了它在现实世界中被应用的可能性。因此，Caleb Christianson 对这种新型软体机器人持积极的态度。故选A项。高考题型逐个击破-阅读理解之推理判断题

解题技巧
题型特点要清楚
(一)推理判断题题干常用词
一般来说，推理判断题题干中主要包括下面的词语：know about, learn from, infer, imply, suggest, conclude, purpose, attitude, probably, most likely等。
(二)推理判断题正确选项特征
推理判断题中的正确选项是依据文章的事实或证据推断出的符合逻辑的结论或观点，正确选项一般具有以下特征：
1. “立足原文，只推一步”，即根据原文内容，一步即可推得。
2. 选项中一般不可以出现绝对概念。如only, never, all, absolutely等，正确答案的表述一般有一点模糊，会用一些相对能够留有一些余地的词汇，如often, usually, sometimes, some, may, might, can, could, possibly, probably等。
(三)推理判断题干扰选项特征
1. 曲解文意：即推测意义与文章表层意义有区别。推理判断题中有些选项来自文章中的某一句或某几句话，命题者可能会利用里面的词设计出干扰项，看似表达文章的意思，其实是借题发挥，是对原文意思的曲解。
2. 张冠李戴：即把文章中作者的观点与其他人的观点混淆在一起。题干问的是作者的观点，选项中出现的却是其他人的观点；题干问的是其他人的观点，选项中却出现了作者的观点。
3. 偷梁换柱：干扰项用了与文章中某一句话相似的句型结构和单词，却在考生易忽视的地方换了几个单词，造成句意的改变。
4. 无中生有：这种类型的干扰项往往是基本的生活常识或普遍认可的观点，但在文章中并无相关的信息支撑点。其次，这种干扰项也有可能与设置的问题毫不相干。
5. 鱼目混珠：鱼目混珠类型的干扰项常出现在词句理解类试题的选项中，即利用某个词或句子的字面含义代替其在文章特定语境中的具体含义。
6. 扩缩范围：为了准确、严密地表达文章内容，命题者特别注意对文意范围的限定，有时通过加上almost, all, nearly, more than, normally, usually等词语对文意加以限制。“扩缩范围”干扰法就是在选项中通过改变或去掉限制性词语，将信息的范围、程度、感彩等改变，从而给考生解题造成干扰的命题方法。
做这类题目时，容易用自己的理解和观点替代文章的真正含义和作者的观点，或者由文中其他事实和证据得出结论，并非由题干相关的证据所得，因此，解题时一定要认真分析题干信息，着眼文章，准确定位。

（2024·云南昆明·三模）Bangladesh's floating gardens, built to grow food during flood seasons, could offer a continuous solution for parts of the world which are likely to suffer from flooding because of climate change, a new study has found.
Bangladesh's floating gardens began hundreds of years ago. The gardens are made from native plants that float in the rivers and operate almost like rafts (筏), rising and filling with the waters. Historically, they were used to continue growing food during rainy seasons when rivers were filled with water.
The farmers layer the plants about three feet deep, creating a version of raised-bed gardens that float in the water. Then, they plant vegetables inside those rafts. As the raft-plants rot away, they release nutrients, which help feed the vegetable plants.
But as climate change affected the volume of water in those rivers, the researchers wanted to understand whether Bangladesh's floating gardens could be a continuous farming practice. They interviewed farming families and found strong evidence that floating gardens provide stability, both in the amount of food available to feed rural populations and in a farming family's income.
They found that farmers typically use hybrid (杂交) seeds, which must be repurchased each year, to grow a diverse range of vegetables in the floating gardens. The gardens are also sensitive to pests, so farmers end up spending some money on both pesticides and fertilizers. But even with those expenses, they found, benefits outweighed costs. One farmer told the research team that he earns up to four times as much money from the gardens as from traditional rice fields.
However, before gaining profits, farmers often take out high-interest loans (贷款) to cover the investment costs of filling the beds and stocking them with plants. Luckily; there are also lower-interest loans from responsible government or non-governmental organizations, which could ease that burden.
1. How do vegetable plants grow according to the text
A. By absorbing nutrition from raft-plants. B. By taking shelter from climate change.
C. By living together with hybrid seeds. D. By moving up and down with raised beds.
2. What might be a reply from farming families interviewed
A. “Our life becomes tough when rivers flood.” B. “Fewer vegetables are planted when water rises.”
C. “We harvest much more food during rainy seasons.” D. “Climate change has little influence on our income.”
3. What does the underlined word “outweighed” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Affected. B. Brought. C. Beat. D. Equaled.
4. What can be inferred from the text
A. A solution to climate problem has been found. B. The gardens are built with rotted native plants.
C. Farmers earn more from traditional rice fields. D. Low-interest loans lighten the stress of farmers.

（2024·浙江·三模）In many cultures, it is considered unlucky to spill salt. Fortunately, many cultures also have a solution to the problem, which usually involves throwing a pinch of salt over your shoulder. It may seem confusing to modern humans, but knowing that salt was once incredibly valuable can change this perspective.
For thousands of years, salt was an extremely rare commodity. It was difficult to obtain so that the price was very high. Many trading routes were set up to carry salt, people were paid in salt, and salt was sometimes worth more than its weight in gold. Therefore, spilling salt was considered wasteful.
Because of its high value, salt was also associated with friendship and good fortune. Offerings of salt were included in many religious ceremonies, and people might bring salt to a new home for good luck. These associations would have suggested that it would be bad luck to spill salt, since it would seem to violate salt’s fortunate properties.
Salt is also an excellent preservative. It prevents food from going bad. As such, it came to be linked with health and longevity. In some cultures, spilling salt was thought to reduce one's well-being. In Britain, for example, each spilled grain was said to represent a tear, while in Germany spilled salt awakened the devil, bringing misfortune.
The fear of spilling salt was also adopted into the Christian faith. It is said that Judas spilled salt at the Last Supper, and since he later turned out to be the betrayer of Christ, spilled salt is considered unlucky by many Christians.
Should you be unfortunate enough to spill salt, you might throw a pinch over your left shoulder to blind the Devil.
9. Spilling salt was probably thought to bring bad luck because ________.
A. it was a Christian faith B. salt was linked with misfortune
C. it would decrease one’s lifespan D. salt was always expensive than gold
10. What does the underlined word “preservative” probably mean in Paragraph 4
A. Protector. B. Flavor. C. Medium. D. Solution.
11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce the history of salt. B. To show ways to avoid misfortune.
C. To explain the beliefs about spilling salt. D. To entertain readers with some anecdotes.

（2024·湖南·长沙三模）When Kirk Alexander went missing for 11 days, an unlikely savior came to his rescue： his neighborhood pizza store.
Almost every night for more than ten years. Kirk Alexander, 48, of Salem, Oregon ordered a late dinner from his local Domino's pizza store. He had no signature order. Sometimes he would call for a salad, sometimes a pie, sometimes chicken wings. The only sure thing for the staff of the Silverton Road Domino's was that they would see Alexander's name show up on their online ordering site sometime between 11 p. m. and midnight several times a week.
Until suddenly, for nearly two weeks at the end of April 2016, they didn't.
It was a slow Saturday night on May 7th when Domino's general manager Sarah Fuller felt she could no longer ignore Alexander's recent absence.
“I went and looked up to see how long it had been since he last ordered,” Fuller told . “It was 11 days, which was not like him at all.”
Fuller knew Alexander worked from home, and neighbors said he rarely left. She also knew that he had suffered some health issues in the past. Something, Fuller worried, was wrong.
Around 1 a. m. on Sunday. May 8, Fuller sent longtime delivery driver Tracey Hamblen to stop in at Alexander's home. Hamblen approached Alexander's door as he had countless times before and knocked. He could plainly see that Alexander's TV set was on, as were his lights; but after several minutes, Alexander still didn't answer the door.
Hamblen rushed back to the store to relay the upsetting developments to Fuller. She encouraged Hamblen to dial 911. Soon, officers were on their way.
When deputies from the Marion County Sheriff's office arrived at Alexander's house, they heard a man “calling for help from inside the residence, deputies said. They broke the door down, and found Alexander on the floor in need of immediate medical attention. One day later, and they might have been too late.
Alexander was rushed to Salem Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition shortly after the dramatic rescue. In the following weeks, Fuller, Hamblen, and other store employees went to visit him with flowers and cards, noting that Alexander greeted them with knowing smiles.
12. How did Fuller sense that something was wrong
A. She knew Alexander had serious health problems.
B. Alexander hadn't ordered chicken wings for nearly 2 weeks.
C. Alexander had never before broken his routine in the store for 10 years.
D. Alexander had disappeared from the store's ordering system for about 2 weeks.

（2024·新疆乌鲁木齐·一模）Money doesn’t grow on trees but gold does. Scientists in Western Australia claim to have made a new discovery—they have found gold in the leaves and branches of trees. The researchers believe that the trees suck up the gold from deep underground, over 30 metres down. The discovery has been described as the first of its kind in the world.
Australian gold exploration companies are pleased because it will make finding gold cheaper. Rather than drilling deep holes to find gold, they will be able to examine tree leaves and branches. The trees show what is happening under the earth’s surface. There is only a tiny amount of gold in the leaves. It would take 500 trees to make one gold ring. The gold is found using a special X-ray machine and a powerful microscope, which scan the leaves and branches.
The claim is that this is the first time that gold particles have been found in living material. However, this might not be true. Ancient Chinese wisdom understood the connection between plants and the precious stones and minerals underneath them. They used plant life to find minerals — and that was thousands of years ago. In the Zhou Dynasty, it was written in a book that a certain plant grew only near deposits (矿床) of gold. Over the next 2,000 years, Chinese people wrote about different plants and how they grew, showing where minerals and precious stones such as jade, copper, lead, silver and gold were Even more importantly, in the 1000s, Su Song described how Portulaca plants could yield mercury if crushed, dried and allowed to decay (腐烂). That was certainly the first time ever that a metal was obtained from a plant.
The Previous Secrets of the Realm of the King of Xin, written during the Ming Dynasty, described how different metals were observed and extracted (提炼) from certain plants. This knowledge was unknown in the rest of the world until about 1600, when a British man realised that oak trees grew larger and greener where there was alum in the ground. Maybe ancient Chinese knowledge has more to teach modern scientists.
19. According to Australian scientists, where can gold be probably found
A. In the roots of trees. B. In the leaves of trees.
C. In the trees everywhere. D. In the underground near trees.
20. How can we tell whether there is gold or not
A. By drilling deep holes in the trees.
B. By cutting the leaves of trees into pieces.
C. By examining the surface of the ground under the trees.
D. By scanning the leaves and branches using a special microscope.

（2024·安徽淮南·二模）In late May, storms flooded streets in Florida. The floods made cars sink and turned roads into brown rivers. Flash flooding can happen when storm drains get blocked up and, especially during hurricanes, overflow into streets. It’s the leading cause of weather-related deaths.
A team of local middle-school students has a plan to stop this ongoing problem. Alyssa, Bianca and Jose are sixth-graders. The Doral students designed a device to warn city workers when and where there is a danger of flooding. The team is one of five grand-prize winners of the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest. The contest asked for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) solutions to the biggest challenge facing a school community.
“I’ve been living here my entire life, and all of us have encountered problems with flooding,” says Bianca. “We knew that was the problem we were going to tackle.”
The students’ device uses a laser system called lidar, which stands for “light detection and ranging.” The device, if approved by the city government, could be attached to Doral’s 2,575 storm and manhole drains — one device per drain. If a drain gets blocked with sediment (沉积物), the device could send a warning message to the city’s stormwater management office. Then the stormwater manager could send someone to clean the drain.
Starting in March, the school was closed, so team meetings went virtual. Luckily, says Bianca, “We already had a prototype device, and we just had to adjust it some more ” They also had to pitch their idea virtually to contest judges.
Twenty finalist teams were cut down to the five grand-prize-winning teams. Each of the five teams won $100 000 for technology and supplies for their science classrooms. “We put m a lot of effort and had to trust each other and that each one knew what they were talking about,” says Alyssa.
23. How does the author start the text
A. With an image.
B. With some figures.
C. By raising questions.
D. By stating a phenomenon.
24. What can be known about the Doral students’ team
A. It is made up of five middle school students.
B. Its aim is to solve the problem of the drain flooding,
C. It has won first prize in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest.
D. Its members are trained in science, technology, engineering and math.
25. What is the author’s intention of quoting Bianca’s words in Para. 3
A. To list their challenges.
B. To explore their motivation.
C. To express their determination.
D. To prove their responsibility.
26. What is the main function of the students’ device

（2024山东·济南三模）While we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens (智人) somewhere thousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved is still unknown, and mainstream theories fall into two distinctly different camps.
One widely held theory is that language came about as an evolutionary adaptation. That was where the idea of natural selection came into play, which was the belief that the specific physical features of a population made that population more likely to survive its environment, like the turtle (海龟) and its shell. On one hand, humans needed to communicate with each other in order to hunt，farm and defend themselves successfully from the surrounding severe environment. Being able to communicate by using language gave the human species a distinct survival advantage. On the other hand, language was needed for social interaction, according to those who subscribed to the adaptation theory.
In their paper “Natural Language and Natural Selection,” researchers Steven Pinker and Paul Bloom theorized that a series of calls or gestures evolved over time into combinations, giving us complex communication, or language. As things became more complicated around them，humans needed a more complex system to convey information to one another. Early man saw a group of deer he wanted to hunt. He made a sound to his hunting partner that means “deer are nearby.” One day,a storm came in and the hunter noticed that thunder scared the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the storm passed. Over time, the same hunter also learned to recognize the warning signs for bad weather-dark skies and increased wind. Early man realized that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, he needed to tell his hunting partner to speed up the pursuit of the deer. Therefore, he came up with a series of sounds that refer to both the deer and the bad weather. That series of sounds was the beginning of an evolutionary adaptation that eventually became language.
As humans learned more about how to best survive, they developed a need to convey these survival methods to their population. To be brief, that's the adaptation theory.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. The evolution of language.
B. The paper on natural selection.
C. The differences between theories.
D. The introduction to human reproduction.
28. Why are the turtle and its shell mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To show the mystery of nature.
B. To support the evolutionary adaptation.
C. To stress the advantage of the turtle's shell.
D. To encourage people to study natural selection.
29. How does the author explain the adaptation theory in paragraph 3
A. By comparing. B. By listing data.
C. By carrying out a survey. D. By giving an example.
30. What will the author most probably tell us next
A. The exact place where humans came from.
B. The other theory of how language evolved.
C. The reasons why animals cannot form language.
D. The methods of humans' shaping non- verbal thinking.

（2024高三上·黑龙江齐齐哈尔·二模）Bookstores are fascinating places. That’s because the books on the shelves can take you away to magical lands, help you learn a foreign language, or cook a delicious meal. But when your community is too small to house a real brick bookstore, sometimes you have to make a compromise. A mobile bookstore that brings books around the country was the result. That is the case for Rita Collins, 70, who dreamed of opening a used bookstore after retiring from teaching.
A business planning class from the American Booksellers Association convinced Collins to abandon her idea that opening a bookstore in the small town where she lives, which would not be sustainable. Eureka, Montana, located just seven miles from the Canadian border, only has a population of 1,517. Collins asked her instructors about a traveling bookstore on wheels and they were skeptical. But she persevered.
Collins was inspired by Dylans Mobile Bookstore, a traveling bookstore in Wales run by Jeff Towns. She contacted Jeff for advice but she was largely on her own when it came to building her bookstore. First, she had to find a vehicle large enough to stand in. Then she had to have it refitted with shelves that would hold the books at a 15-degree angle so that they would stay in place while in transit. Collins named her bookstore St Rita’s Traveling Bookstore, which has been on the road since 2015.
At first, she drove through Montana and then she made her first cross-country trip in 2016. After she retired in 2017, it became a full-time job all year round. Collins and her mobile bookstore have visited 30 states, stopping at festivals and events along the way. While the locations change, some things always stay the same. Collins loves meeting people and making connections. While she loves what she does, Collins doesn’t think she can keep doing it. In several years, she hopes to pass her traveling bookstore onto another bibliophile who shares the same interest and will keep it on the road.
31. Why did Collins abandon opening a bookstore
A. It would cost a lot of money. B. It was not promising.
C. It would be out of date. D. It was not approved.
32. Why were the shelves designed at a 15-degree angle
A. To beautify the mobile bookstore.
B. To make full use of space of the shelves.
C. To keep the bookstore’s balance.
D. To protect the books from falling down.
33. Which of the following can best describe Collins
A. Merciful and delightful. B. Intelligent and reasonable.
C. Determined and social. D. Generous and lovely.
34. What does the underlined word “bibliophile” in the last paragraph mean
A. A book lover. B. A publisher.
C. A famous writer. D. An editor.
（2021·辽宁·模拟预测）Soft robots, which can move around the ocean without harming sea life, are ideal for underwater exploration. However, they are not so welcome in robot market because they are extremely slow and have a hard time operating through the water. But that may change soon thanks to a self-driven soft robot created by researchers at the University of California, San Diego.
The recently-developed robot, which resembles a paper lantern, was primarily built using soft materials. Its flexible ribs are attached to a circular plate at both ends. An adjustable nozzle (喷嘴) fitted on one side helps draw in and jet (射出) water each time the robot shrinks. The resulting jets of water enable it to swim forward, similar to a squid (乌贼). A plate holds a waterproof component that can house a camera to record data, which is of great value to further development of the robot. It also has its own power source, allowing it to float autonomously for long periods of time.
“Essentially, we recreated all the key features that squids use for high-speed swimming. This is the first robot that can achieve these jets of water by changing its body shape, which improves swimming efficiency,” said Professor Michael T. Though the squid robot has not been tested in open waters, it successfully swam around coral and fish in a large tank in the UC San Diego Birch Aquarium. What’s more, the robot clocked an impressive speed of 18 to 32 centimeters per second, or about half a mile per hour. Though nowhere close to real squids, it is faster than most other soft robots.
“After we were able to improve the design of the robot so that it would swim in a tank in the lab, it was especially exciting to see that the robot was able to successfully swim in a large tank among coral and fish, showing its possibility for real-world applications,” said Caleb Christianson, who led the study as part of his Ph. D paper.
35. Why were the previous soft robots seldom used
A. Their application places are limited.
B. They do great damage to sea life.
C. They are very difficult to control.
D. Their advertising effect is hot good.
36. What’s the similarity between the newly-developed robot and squids
A. Their body material. B. Their general speed.
C. Their power source. D. Their swimming pattern.
37. What can we learn about the squid robot according to Paragraph 3
A. It is the first robot that can transform.
B. It will function well in open waters.
C. It has every feature that a squid has.
D. It can defeat most other soft robots in speed.
38. What’s Caleb Christianson’s attitude towards the newly-developed robot
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
