I was theperson who avoided certain airlines because they only served Pepsi.At various times I tried to stop, but I could never prevent myselffrom drinking it for longer than a week.#1.3This year, something happened that changed everything. I hadbeen feeling pain in the left side of my stomach for months, butdoctors were unable to figure out the problem. At the same time, Ibegan noticing that my beloved drink left an awful aftertaste I hadnever noticed before. In late June, after opening up my second can ofthe day, pains shot across my stomach, and that was my last soda.Just like that, I was done, after 39 years. Why did it take so long Was I truly psychologically dependent, or was it simply a bad habit #1.4The American Psychiatric Association doesn't specifically list DietCoke addiction. However, research indicates its addictive potential.Ashley Gearhardt at the University of Michigan points to the two“culprits” that can be found in Diet Coke: aspartame (阿斯巴甜)and caffeine. Aspartame, 200 times sweeter than regular sugar, andcaffeine work together to keep us desiring more.#1.5As of now, I'm on Day 41 of being Diet Coke-free. The initialdays were extremely difficult due to caffeine withdrawal, but I'mcommitted to maintaining this new lifestyle. My stomach hurts less,and my sweet tooth is not as persistent. I am quite pleased withmyself for having altered a lifelong habit. If I can do this, I can doanything, even if it takes 40 years.#1.64. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 1 ( )CA. Diet Coke was less popular before he discovered it.B. He tried various ways to stop drinking Diet Coke.C. Diet Coke was an inseparable part of his life.D. He preferred to take flights which didn't offer Pepsi.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“After I discovered Diet Coke in1982, I drank at least three 12-ounce cans nearly every day for thenext four decades.”可知,健怡可乐是作者生活中不可分割的一部分。故选C。5.

Research on Diet Coke.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I had been feeling pain in theleft side of my stomach for months...At the same time, I begannoticing that my beloved drink left an awful aftertaste I had nevernoticed before...pains shot across my stomach, and that was my lastsoda.”可知,作者决定戒掉健怡可乐是因为腹部疼痛和饮料令人恶心的余味。故选B。6. What can replace the underlined word “culprits” in paragraph3 ( )AA. Criminals. B. Advocators. C. Defenders. D. Sponsors.[解析] 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句后的“that can be found in DietCoke: aspartame and caffeine.

We still have the edge over AI because we thinklike other human beings. We anticipate that other drivers orpedestrians may not always follow the rules of the road, or they maybehave in unpredictable ways. We know this not from a drivingmanual,but from life experience. We subconsciously respond tosituations in a very human way. Eventually,learning algorithms(算法)will be developed to imitate some of our gut(本能的)reactions, butthis will take time.#1.4So far, there's been little effort on the part of either theautomobile industry or public safety officials to bring the public up tospeed. When people hear the term autonomous car, they are oftenunder the mistaken belief that the role of the human driver has beenremoved and that he or she is now downgraded to the role of apassenger.#1.5“The biggest misconception about automation is that the moreautomation there is,the less human competence is needed. Actually, themore you automate, the more you need to educate, where, when, how,etc.,” observes Bryan Reimer, a research scientist at the MIT Centerfor Transportation and Logistics.#1.6He has studied driver behavior as it relates to automation andraised an interesting point:as our automobiles assume more and moreof the tasks of their operation, there is a risk that human beings willlose some of the real-world driving experiences that make uscompetent drivers. This is fine as long as the car remains in control.But in a world of semi-autonomous vehicles, the drivers may becomeless equipped to handle the complicated operation that would stump(难倒)the software.#1.7“The way we approach driver training will likely need anupgrade to accommodate to the new world of semi-autonomous cars.It doesn't look like we're going to have to shut down our drivingschools anytime soon,” Bryan Reimer added.#1.88. What does the author say about driving ( )BA. Its basic function is still complicated for AI.B. It requires more than operating a vehicle.C. It involves many repetitive and boring tasks.D. It needs the driver's full attention to the road.[解析] 细节理解题。根据首段中的“but driving needs so much morethan just steering a car. Human beings need to perform a vast varietyof tasks in a car(但驾驶需要的远不止是操控汽车。人类在车内需要完成各式各样的任务)”可知B项正确。9. What does the author think is the advantage of human drivers overAI ( )CA. They prove to be more acceptable to the general public.B. They have more detailed knowledge of the rules of the road.C. They are more experienced in dealing with unusual situations.D. They are better at handling traffic accidents in a human way.[解析] 细节理解题。通读第二段可知,人类驾驶员能够预判其他驾驶员或行人潜在的不遵守规则的行为,并对此作出本能反应,而人工智能目前还做不到这一点。由此可知C项正确。10. What does Bryan Reimer imply about automation ( )DA. It plays an important role in improving traffic safety.B. It reduces the need for drivers' professional competence.C. It alters the relationship between drivers and passengers.D. It may cause drivers to be less able to cope with complexsituations.[解析] 推理判断题。第五段介绍Bryan Reimer的观点:第一点指出,随着我们的汽车承担越来越多的操作任务,人类可能会失去一些现实世界的驾驶体验,而正是这些体验使我们成为老练的司机;第二点指出,在一个半自动驾驶汽车的世界里,驾驶员可能会变得无力应对(自动化)软件做不到的复杂操作。言外之意即半自动驾驶汽车可能会降低驾驶员应对复杂情况的能力,故D项正确。11. What should people do to adapt to semi-autonomousdriving ( )CA. Upgrade automation technologies.B. Change their perception of AI.C. Update driver training programs.D. Open more driving schools.[解析] 细节理解题。最后一段第一句“The way we approach drivertraining will likely need an upgrade to accommodate to the new worldof semi-autonomous cars.”可知,我们培训驾驶员的方式可能需要升级,以适应半自动驾驶汽车的新世界。 故C项正确。词汇积累1.have an/the edge on/over sb./sth.略胜过某人/某物2.anticipate v.预期,预料;预见(并做准备);期望3.subconsciously(sub+conscious+ly) (派) adv.潜意识地4.automobile(auto+mobile)(派) n.汽车5.downgrade(down+grade)(合) v.使降级6.upgrade(up+grade)(合) n.升级7.accommodate to适应长难句解读原句 He has studied driver behavior as it relates to automation andraised an interesting point:as our automobiles assume more and moreof the tasks of their operation,there is a risk that human beings willlose some of the real-world driving experiences that make uscompetent drivers.分析 本句是主从复合句。第一个as引导方式状语从句,第二个as引导时间状语从句;第一个that引导同位语从句,第二个that引导定语从句,在从句中作主语。译文 他研究了与自动化相关的驾驶员行为,并提出了一个有趣的观点:随着我们的汽车承担越来越多的操作任务,存在这样一种风险,即人类可能会失去一些使我们成为合格驾驶员的现实驾驶经历。D语篇类型:说明文 主题语境:人与社会(2025·山东省实验中学二模)For something designed to streamline communication, corporatejargon (行话) often does the opposite—leaving many employeesconfused and excluded.#1.3A survey of more than 8,000 working professionals across eightcountries found that 58 percent feel their fellow employees overusejargon. If given the opportunity, nearly half of them would remove itsusage since interpreting their meanings “causes stress and slows downproductivity”.Yet, we keep using it. Then why does it continue to exist #1.5“Language isn't just about sharing information. It's social,” saidDaria Bahtina, a lecturer from the University of California LosAngeles. “When we speak, we're performing relationships, identities,and positions,” she explained. This isn't limited to managers orcorporate departments. Bahtina noted specialized language pops upwherever people gather, for example, in a team of software engineers,or even a neighborhood book club after their third bottle of wine.#1.6In addition, jargon is a means of exclusiveness. “Shared jargoncan develop a sense of identity and community,” said Eric Anicich,associate professor at the USC's Marshall School of Business. Anicichand his team conducted research that shows how office jargon isemployed to draw invisible lines between insiders and outsiders.According to their findings, lower-status individuals are more likely touse jargon in evaluative situations—not to clarify their message but tosignal intelligence and competence.#1.7So, where do we go from here When asked about his positionon jargon, Anicich replied, “Jargon is used as a tool—it's not naturallygood nor bad, so it depends on how and when you use it.”In fact, jargon is integrated into everyday life in ways we barelynotice. Bahtina mentions how fans of medical dramas who have neverset foot in a hospital can still understand phrases like “code blue”.“This doesn't mean that they can perform surgery; it shows howjargon can flow beyond its origin and become part of everydayspeech,” she says.#1.9Rather than going to extremes, experts agree that it's best toquestion whether jargon is being used appropriately. If our vocabularyis building walls instead of bridges, it may be time to circle back—and rethink how we speak at work.#1.1012. Why would employees stop using jargon if possible ( )AA. They find it less helpful.B. They think it is used too often.C. They prefer diverse expressions.D. They intend to expand its meanings.[解析] 推理判断题。第一段指出“对于一些旨在简化沟通的东西,企业行话往往适得其反,这让许多员工感到困惑和排斥”,再根据第二段“Asurvey...found that 58 percent feel their fellow employees overusejargon. If given the opportunity, nearly half of them would remove itsusage since interpreting their meanings...”可知,行话本应简化沟通,实际上却让员工困惑、被排除在外,调查发现近半员工想摒弃行话,说明他们觉得行话没帮助。故选A。13. Who is more likely to use jargon according to the text ( )DA. A waiter in the bar.B. An employer on vacation.C. A customer over the phone.D. An applicant in an interview.[解析] 推理判断题。根据第四段中“...specialized language pops upwherever people gather, for example, in a team of software engineers,or even a neighborhood book club after their third bottle of wine.(只要人们聚集在一起,就会出现专门的语言,例如,在软件工程师团队中,甚至是在他们喝完第三瓶葡萄酒后的社区读书俱乐部)”以及第五段中的“lower-status individuals are more likely to use jargon inevaluative situations(地位较低的人更有可能在评估的情况下使用行话)”可知,行话在人群聚集处出现,像工程师团队、读书俱乐部这类群体场景,以及低地位个体在评估场景下使用。D选项“An applicant inan interview(面试者处于评估场景)”符合低地位个体在评估场景用行话的情况。故选D。14. What is Eric Anicich's attitude toward jargon ( )BA. Appreciative. B. Objective.C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.[解析] 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Jargon is used as a tool—it'snot naturally good nor bad, so it depends on how and when you useit.”可知,Eric Anicich 认为行话是工具,本身无好坏,其优缺点取决于人们的使用方式,这种态度是客观的。故选B。15. What is a suitable title for the text ( )AA. Jargon:hated but usedB. Applying jargon, raising doubtC. Jargon:a universal deviceD. Using jargon, building bridges[解析] 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,全文围绕行话展开,表明了行话存在让员工困惑等问题,但其仍被使用,如第一段说行话违背简化沟通的初衷却仍被使用;后面讲行话在各种场景出现、不同人对其的看法等。由此可知,A选项“Jargon:hated but used(行话:遭厌恶但被使用)”能概括文章大意。故选A。词汇积累1.streamline v.简化2.exclude v.不包括,把……排除在外3.productivity(product+ive+ity)(派) n.生产率,生产力4.pop up突然出现5.signal v.标志;表明;预示(词性活用)6.be integrated into...与……融为一体长难句解读原句 Rather than going to extremes, experts agree that it's best toquestion whether jargon is being used appropriately.分析 本句为主从复合句。Rather than介词短语作状语;that引导宾语从句;it是形式主语,to question...作真正的主语;whether引导宾语从句。译文 专家们一致认为,与其走极端,不如质疑行话的使用是否恰当。(共53张PPT)限时组合练限时组合练八(阅读理解4篇)限时:30分钟A语篇类型:应用文 主题语境:人与社会(2025·湖南长沙三模)Welcome to the Future City Living Experience!Our Smart Home Project is designed to redefine the way youlive by applying cutting-edge technology in your everyday life.Experience unparalleled convenience, security, and comfort with ourstate-of-the-art smart home solutions.#1.3.1Key Features of Our Smart Home Project1.Intelligent Climate Control●Our smart thermostats learn your preferences and adjust thetemperature automatically based on your daily routine and weatherconditions.

Her beautiful, delicatestyles, from leather to evening wear to other custom pieces, wereshowed on the covers of the hottest magazines.#1.3But when Turnbull—a well-known journalist and wheelchair usersince a terrible accident left her quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪的)in1983—approached her to design stylish, comfortable clothes to fit herbody through the seasons, Camilleri realized her real calling was tohelp bring fashion to a completely under-served community. “I had noidea that someone in a chair had any different clothing needs thanyou or me,” says the designer. “The world was my market becausenobody had ever done this before.” In 2004 Camilleri opened aboutique (精品店) specially for people who use wheelchairs.#1.4“Everything we do, the starting point is from a seat frame. Sowhat happens when you're sitting What happens to the clothes Where are they getting together ” Camilleri explains. “We literally hadto recreate the patterns to accommodate a seat frame.”#1.5Her custom creations have changed lives. Winkelaar has been ina wheelchair since a car accident two weeks before his fourth birthday.Until he met Camilleri, he lacked confidence in his appearance andwas afraid of entering clothing stores because he had trouble findingtrousers that fit properly. Salah has spastic cerebral palsy (痉挛型脑瘫). She says clothing stores are always daunting places full ofpieces out of reach. Salah says she carries herself differently now andshe is more confident in her appearance. Being able to have access tofashionable and functional clothing gives her a lot of dignity.#1.6“Camilleri's pieces are now part of an exhibit at the RoyalOntario Museum, and her success in a new rare market has not goneunnoticed in the mainstream fashion world.

Which of the following can replace the underlined word “daunting”in paragraph 4 ( )BA. Inspiring. B. Frightening. C. Striking. D. Comforting.[解析] 词句猜测题。根据上文“Salah has spastic cerebral palsy.”和下文“Salah says she carries herself differently now and she is moreconfident in her appearance. Being able to have access to fashionableand functional clothing gives her a lot of dignity.(Salah表示,现在的她举止不同了,对自己的外表也更有自信。能够穿上既时尚又实用的衣服让她感受到了极大的尊严。)”可知,之前服装店总是令Salah感到畏惧,因为那里的衣服总是高高挂起,遥不可及。由此可知,daunting意为“令人畏惧的,令人害怕的”。故选B。6.

Itis going to sell well, because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary storyabout children's development many parents are led to believe. However,the book's repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiringour children's brains and causing the epidemic(流行)of mentalillness is unsupported by science. Worse, the rude proposal that socialmedia is to blame might distract(使分心) us from effectivelyresponding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis inyoung people.Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Ourefforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations.Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, theysuggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, butthat young people who already have mental-health problems use suchplatforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers.We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviewsfocus on . .the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries showsno consistent or measurable associations between well-being and socialmedia globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities find noevidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use.As a psychologist studying children's and adolescents' mentalhealth, I appreciate parents' frustration(沮丧) and desire for simpleanswers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify asimple source of the pain this generation is reporting. There are,however, no simple answers. The beginning and development ofmental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic andenvironmental factors.More young people are talking openly about their mental-healthstruggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available toaddress their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, oneschool psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation incrisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent tellingstories that are unsupported by research and that do little to supportyoung people who need, and deserve, more.#1.78. What is presented in The Anxious Generation ( )CA. Scary stories affect children's brains.B. Parents are responsible for children's health.C. Teens' mental illness results from screen time.D.

And though the causes of laughter can vary widely acrossindividuals and groups, the sound of a laugh is usually recognizablebetween people belonging to different cultures. Through sharedamusement, laughter strengthens social ties and fosters empathy.However, many animals produce sounds during play that areunique to that pleasant social interaction. Researchers consider suchvocalizations to be similar to human laughter. Recently, scientistsinvestigated play vocalization to see how common it was amonganimals. The team identified 65 species that “laughed” while playing—most were mammals, but a few bird species demonstrated playfullaughter too. This new study could help scientists to analyze theorigins of human laughter.But how can we identify animal play Unlike fighting, animalplay is usually repetitive and happens independently of other socialbehaviors, said lead author Sasha Winkler, a doctor of biologicalanthropology at the University of California. When it comes toidentifying play behaviors in monkey groups, “you know it when yousee it,” Winkler told Live Science. One sign is that monkeys have a“play face” that is similar to the expressions of humans who areplaying. She had noticed that they panted (喘气) quietly whileplaying, so a hypothesis (laughter in humans is thought to haveoriginated during play) supported by the play-related panting laughterof monkey species was put forward.People now still laugh during play, but we also integrate laughterinto language and non-play behaviors, using laughter in diverse waysto express a range of emotions that may be positive or negative.Human laughter notably differs from other animals' laughter in anotherimportant way: its volume. People broadcast their laughter loudly,often as a way of establishing inclusion. By comparison, when mostanimals laugh, the sound is very quiet—just loud enough to be heardby the laugher's partner.“It's amazing that so many animals have a similar function ofvocalization during play,” Winkler told Live Science. “But we do havethese unique parts of human laughter that are also an important areafor future study.”#1.712.

I found it hanging in thewindow of a shop in Brighton, England. I was there to deliver a talkon modern women's writing at an international conference, a PhDstudent eager to make a name for herself and waiting for her life tostart. I had just turned 28.#1.3I'm still closely connected to that woman, her dreams and herambition, although she also frightens me. She was always quitedetermined, this leather jacket woman—she had a five-year plan andwas sticking to it! This was the woman who couldn't find time tovisit her grandmother, who regularly missed her nieces' and nephews'birthday parties, and who left and didn't look back.#1.4She and I are one and the same, but we are also very different.There was a change that happened a few years into the five-year plan.Each time one goalpost was reached, another took its place. This isthe pattern of the overly ambitious. I started to doubt whether itwould result in any real success other than an unwavering(坚定不移的) ability to give up everything else along the way. Mydetermination wavered. I realized I didn't want the same thingsanymore. The jacket moved to the back of the wardrobe (衣橱).#1.5Seven years later, as I stood in front of my wardrobe filled withuseless clothes, I didn't know what to do with the jacket. WhenEngland's cold spread to my bones years earlier, the jacket had feltlike a practical thing I bought. Here in Australia's sunshine, it alwaysfelt a little silly. I let it fall heavily on the bed alongside the otherclothes I've decided to give away because they no longer make thecut.#1.6Yet, despite its uselessness and how much space it takes up, atthe last moment I return the leather jacket to the wardrobe. I think itwill always stand for a part of myself that I'm not quite willing togive up forever—that ambitious, motivated woman.#1.74. Why did the author go to Brighton ( )AA. To give a public lecture.

I love teaching this course. One reason,of course, is that I enjoy thinking about research methodology(方法学) and sharing it with others. The other reason, however, isthe obvious impact that it has on students. Every term, one(if not more) student tells me how taking this course has affectedhim/her: “I used to just read articles and believe what they said, butnow I find myself asking ‘Is this true How do they know Is this awell designed study ’” That is what I want the students to achieve inthis course.This brings to mind something written by Dorothy L. Sayers in1948. One of her books, The Lost Tools of Learning speaks toSayers's thoughts on education. “By teaching our young men andwomen to read, we have left them at the mercy of the printed words.By the invention of the film and the radio, we have made certain thatno dislike for reading shall protect them from the constant battery ofwords, words, words. They do not know what the words mean: theyare victims of words in their emotions instead of being the masters ofthem in their intelligence.”We are well past the 1940s, but her observation is still relevant.Sayers's point is well taken. In the world of 24-hour news and socialmedia that often resembles the Wild West, the ability to carry outevaluations has never been more important. In order to resist thedistortions with which we are constantly bombarded in the media, aswell as be able to present a persuasive argument, we must be able toreason well, and think and give a judgement carefully.When my students begin the Research Methods and Designcourse, they are generally not content to read all those researcharticles I give. However, by the end of the course, they are excitedabout their newly obtained abilities.#1.68. What is the author's course goal for her students ( )BA. Reading more books. B. Thinking critically.C. Designing studies well. D. Questioning themselves.[解析] 推理判断题。由第一段中学生描述的这门课对他/她产生的影响“I used to just read articles and believe what they said, but now Ifind myself asking ‘Is this true How do they know Is this a welldesigned study ’”可知,作者的课程主要是要让学生学会批判性思考。故选B。9. What did Sayers imply about education ( )DA. It was beneficial to learners' development.B. It was conventional by teaching learners to read.C. It was satisfying with the invention of the film and the radio.D. It was worrying because learners were subject to words.[解析] 推理判断题。由第二段中Sayers所说的话可知,Sayers认为教育让年轻人受制于印刷文字,他们在情感上是文字的受害者,在智力上未成为文字的主人,这说明当时的教育状况是让人担忧的,因为学习者被文字支配。故选D。10. What does the underlined word “distortions” in paragraph 3 referto ( )CA. Popular news. B. Various evaluations.C. Misleading information. D. Persuasive arguments.[解析] 词句猜测题。画线词后文提到,要提出有说服力的论点,必须能够进行良好的推理,进行思考并谨慎地做出判断,再结合画线词前的“resist(抵御)”一词可推知,画线词含有负面意思,观察选项可知,只有C项“误导性的信息”符合文意。11. What's the purpose of the text ( )DA. To review a book. B. To introduce a writer.C. To criticize social media. D.

Then why isshe throwing dishes in the kitchen Are the two things related ”The answer is munication is more than words. It's howthose words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of aparticular word. It's multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilsonand Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the followingexample: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter gotangry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely.The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry oftenif Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants morefrom Mary. The same words—a totally different context.Human language is not a code (代码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This iswhat we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “codedcommunication works best when the emitter (发出者) and receivershare exactly the same code.” Not so for humans. We communicatemore than the definitions of our words would suggest. This isinferential communication, and it means that we understand not onlythe words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken.Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we cancommunicate context with a few simple words. It is more than juststating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boringparty, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the partywas fun nor saying ironically that the party was boring. Rather, she isexpressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasinglanguage's efficiency.Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developedand became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans:language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. Welook for context for the words we hear. And we should be very goodat absorbing this context to infer meaning.#1.712. What does the complaint in paragraph 1 mainly indicate ( )AA. The inconsistency between words and meaning.B. The importance of remembering vital moments.C. The necessity of straightforward communication.D. The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life.[解析] 推理判断题。根据第一段抱怨的内容“她说她不介意我忘记了她的生日!那她为什么在厨房里摔盘子呢?这两件事有关系吗?”以及第二段中“Communication is more than words. It's how those words aresaid, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word.(交流不仅仅是言语,还包括这些话是怎么说的,(说话的)语气、顺序,甚至是某个特定单词的选择)”可推知,第一段的抱怨主要表明了言语和意思之间的不一致。故选A。13. What may make human language different from true codes ( )AA. The context included in understanding meanings.B. The definitions made by words in communication.C. The coded communication between the emitter and receiver.D. The one-to-one relationship between words and meaning.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,人类语言不是一种代码。真正的代码与意义有着一一对应的关系。一种声音对应一种定义。这就是我们在动物身上看到的情况。当发出者和接收者拥有完全相同的代码时,代码交流效果最佳。人类则不是这样。我们交流的内容比我们所说的单词的定义要多。这是推理交流,意味着我们不仅理解所说的话,而且理解说话的语境。由此可知,理解语言所包含的语境使人类语言不同于真正的代码。故选A。14. How does Mary's statement “That was fun” illustrate irony ( )DA. It simplifies language to save time.B. It covers the true feelings of people.C. It needs wordy explanations to make sense.D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings.[解析] 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,反语是一个很好的例子,能够说明我们如何用几个简单的词来有力地传达语境。它不仅仅是陈述相反的意思。例如,当玛丽在一个无聊的聚会后说‘那很有趣’时,她既不是说聚会真的很有趣,也不是讽刺地说聚会很无聊,她在表达一种情感。三个字代替了段落,展示了语言的效率。由此可知,玛丽的陈述“那很有趣”用更少的词表达了复杂的意思,从而说明了反语的特点。故选D。15. What does the author suggest about communication ( )CA. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally.C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones.[解析] 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wilson和Sperber得出结论,人类语言之所以发展并变得如此强大,是因为人类有两种独特的能力:语言能力和试图解读他人心理状态的能力。我们为听到的单词寻找语境。我们应该非常善于理解这种语境来推断意义”可推知,作者认为在交流中应该理解话语背后的意思,也就是不仅局限于字面意思。故选C。词汇积累1.particular adj.特定的;不寻常的;格外的;特别的2.identical adj.同样的;完全相同的3.context n.语境;上下文4.inferential(infer+ent+ial)(派) adj.推理的;推论的;根据推理的5.literally(literal+ly)(派) adv.按照字面意义地;真正地6.absorb v.理解;掌握7.inconsistency(in+consist+ency)(派) n.不一致长难句解读原句 This is inferential communication, and it means that weunderstand not only the words spoken, but the context in which theyare spoken.分析 本句为and连接的并列复合句;that引导宾语从句;第一个spoken为过去分词作words的后置定语;in which引导定语从句,修饰context。译文 这就是推理交流,它意味着我们不仅理解所说的话,而且理解所说的话的语境。(共51张PPT)限时组合练限时组合练四(阅读理解4篇)限时:30分钟A语篇类型:应用文 主题语境:人与自我(2025·辽宁大连育明高级中学二模)Innovative (创新的) Designs for AccessibilityDeadline:2025-04-30Award:$7,500#1.3.2Open to:University studentsThe Innovative Designs for Accessibility student competitionchallenges students across Canada to use their creativity to developinnovative, cost-effective and practical solutions to accessibility barriersfor people with disabilities.

Bill, their father, had spent years cooking beefat his family's Chinese American takeout restaurant. Judy, their mom,was born and raised in Shanghai and had deep knowledge abouttraditional Shanghainese cooking. Meanwhile, the two sisters hadgrown up in the New Jersey suburbs, eating their parents' food, butalso growing in America's own food-obsessed culture.So, in 2013, the Leungs started The Woks of Life. Whatdistinguished their blog from others was that the intergenerationalheritage of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was bakedright into the concept—The four family members took turns postingrecipes, each sharing their own favorites, tapping into their own areasof expert knowledge.Kaitlin stresses that The Woks of Life follows along lines ofpioneer folks like Joyce Chen, Martin Yan and Ming Tsai, who firststarted to bring Chinese home cooking into the mainstream in the US.“We feel proud that we have made a meaningful mark over the pastdecade, casting a light that there's a huge demand for these recipes,”she says.“It's about representation, yes, but there's also a huge demand.Asian Americans look to reconnect to the food of their heritage.”Five years ago, you wouldn't have been able to find a ton ofChinese recipes in the New York Times food section, Kaitlin notes.Now you can.#1.74. What do the underlined words “representation gap” in paragraph 1refer to ( )BA. The shortage of Chinese chefs.B. The lack of Chinese food recipes.C. The gap between young and old ABCs.D. The difference between chefs and bloggers.[解析] 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Like so many other ABCs(American-born Chinese) and younger first- and second-generationChinese immigrants...how to prepare it.”可知,Sarah和Kaitlin是美籍华人,当她们想吃小时候的中式饭菜时,却不知道如何做。由此可推知,Sarah所说的早期电视名厨和新兴的美食博客圈中的“代表性差距”就是没有中餐食谱的分享。故选B。5. What is the purpose of paragraph 2 ( )CA. To prove how unique the Leung sisters are.B. To show why the Leung sisters prefer Chinese food.C. To point out the Leungs' advantage of starting a food blog.D. To stress the Leung sisters' love for home cooking food.[解析] 推理判断题。根据第二段中“As it turns out, though, theLeungs were uniquely positioned to do something about it.”以及本段下文的叙述可推知,本段的目的是指出Leung一家人创建食物博客的优势。故选C。6. What makes The Woks of Life special ( )DA. The concept of baking food.B. The large number of followers.C. The bloggers' way of posting recipes.D. The intergenerational heritage of knowledge.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第三段中“What distinguished their blog fromothers was that the intergenerational heritage of knowledge...was bakedright into the concept—The four family members took turns postingrecipes, each sharing their own favorites, tapping into their own areasof expert knowledge.”可知,Leung一家人的博客与其他博客的不同之处在于他们融入了知识代际传承的理念:两代人轮流分享美食。故选D。7. What is the significance of The Woks of Life ( )DA. It strengthens the bonds between individuals.B. It marks the popularity of Chinese cuisine.C. It has developed many new Chinese recipes.D. It links Asian Americans with their food tradition.[解析] 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Asian Americans look toreconnect to the food of their heritage.(亚裔美国人希望重新与他们的传统食物建立联系)”可知,这个博客让亚裔美国人和他们的饮食传统建立起联系。故选D。词汇积累1.long for渴望2.turn out结果是,证明是3.position v.安置,使处于(词性活用)4.distinguish v.使有别于,区分5.take turns轮流6.tap into利用,开发(已有的资源、知识等)长难句解读原句 What distinguished their blog from others was that theintergenerational heritage of knowledge that the Leungs were so eagerfor was baked right into the concept...分析 这是一个主从复合句。句中What引导主语从句;that theintergenerational...concept为that引导的表语从句,从句中that the Leungswere so eager for为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词intergenerationalheritage of knowledge。译文 他们的博客与其他人的博客的不同之处在于,Leung一家人渴望的代际知识传承被融入了这个理念……C语篇类型:说明文 主题语境:人与自然(2025·江西南昌二模)Sound signals are vital for animals deep in the dark oceans tocommunicate and search for food. That way of life has beenthreatened by increasing human noise. A leading cause is shipping-noise emissions.With roughly 90% of traded goods traveling by sea, quieting theocean through reductions in shipping is untenable. Efforts to makeships more efficient and less polluting may also reduce noise. Butexperts say those measures won't do enough to restore quiet. So, arange of technologies are being developed to allow humans and otheranimals to coexist in the ocean.Much of the underwater noise a ship produces comes from itspropeller (螺旋桨). The low-frequency noise it produces can travelthousands of metres underwater without losing strength, interruptingthe movements of whales which use these frequencies to communicate.One solution by researchers at the University of British Columbia(UBC) makes the metal propeller flexible, allowing its tips to bendand twist, preventing bubbles from forming and reducing the noise thepropeller produces, says Rajeev of UBC.More ideas are also on the table. Giovanni, a marine-engineeringresearcher, is investigating whether an acoustic (声学的) black holecan help. Such an object, which aims to trap sound like black holestrap light, can be built by fixing steel beams to the inside of the ship.Laboratory tests show this can reduce vibrations like the best availablealternatives, without the added weight or fire risk these often involve.Tom Smith, a researcher in naval architecture, says thattechnological solutions for reducing ocean noise are abundant. What ismissing is a willingness of shipbuilders and owners to use them.Refitting ships to be quieter is complex and costly, and not seen as apriority at present.That may change. Some seaports now offer discounts equal tothousands of dollars for ships that meet the highest level of noisereduction. Since the International Maritime Organisation has promisedto reduce carbon emissions from international shipping by 70% by2040, this may prove a good deal.#1.98. What's the harm shipping-noise emissions do to a deep-seaanimal ( )BA. Its habitat is polluted by the emissions.B. Its way of communication is interrupted.C. It can't find enough neighboring animals.D. It has to travel a longer distance for food.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sound signals are vital for animalsdeep in the dark oceans to communicate and search for food. Thatway of life has been threatened by increasing human noise.(声音信号对于深海动物交流和寻找食物至关重要。这种生活方式受到了人类噪音增加的威胁。)”可知,船舶噪声排放会干扰深海动物的交流方式。故选B。9. What does the underlined word “untenable” in paragraph 2mean ( )AA. Impractical. B. Sensible. C. Irregular. D. Universal.[解析] 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“With roughly 90% of tradedgoods traveling by sea, quieting the ocean through reductions inshipping is untenable.”可推测,因为大部分贸易货物都通过海运,所以通过减少航运来使海洋安静下来是不切实际的,由此可知,untenable意为“不切实际的”。故选A。10. What's the difficulty in adopting technological solutions accordingto Tom ( )CA. The technology isn't reliable to be used.B. It may do great harm to the environment.C. It's complicated and adds to the cost of ships.D. It has drawn criticism from the government.[解析] 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Refitting ships to be quieteris complex and costly, and not seen as a priority at present.(对船舶进行改装以使其更安静是复杂且昂贵的,目前并不被视为优先事项。)”可知,根据Tom的说法,采用技术解决方案的困难是它很复杂,并增加了船的成本。故选C。11. What is the main idea of the passage ( )DA. The importance of sound signals in the ocean.B. The role of shipping in global trade and its environmental impact.C. The challenges faced by marine engineers in reducing noisepollution.D. The impact of shipping noise on marine life and the potentialsolutions.[解析] 主旨大意题。第一段引出船舶噪声对海洋生物的影响,接下来的内容讲述了人们为了减少船舶噪声所做出的努力,以及潜在的解决方案,由此可知,这篇文章的主旨是船舶噪声对海洋生物的影响及潜在的解决方案。故选D。词汇积累1.emission(e+miss+ion) (派) n.排放;排放物,散发物2.untenable(un+ten+able)(派) adj.(论据等)站不住脚的;不能维持的3.on the table正在讨论中(熟词生义)4.abundant(abund+ant)(派) adj.大量的,丰富的,充足的5.priority(prior+ity)(派) n.优先事项,最重要的事;优先权6.discount(dis+count)(派) n.减价,折扣长难句解读原句 One solution by researchers at the University of BritishColumbia(UBC) makes the metal propeller flexible, allowing its tipsto bend and twist, preventing bubbles from forming and reducing thenoise the propeller produces, says Rajeev of UBC.分析 本句为简单句,是主谓宾结构,allowing...produces包含三个并列现在分词(allowing、preventing、reducing)短语作结果状语,说明螺旋桨的效果。译文 不列颠哥伦比亚大学的Rajeev说道,不列颠哥伦比亚大学(UBC)的研究人员提出了一种解决方案,该方案使金属螺旋桨具有柔韧性,使其叶梢能够弯曲和扭转,防止气泡的形成,并降低螺旋桨产生的噪音。D语篇类型:说明文 主题语境:人与社会(2025·广东联考)The idea that we need to eat meat to get enough protein andiron, a false assumption of some Paleo diet advocates, is a commonmisconception. It ignores the abundance of protein and iron in manyplant-based foods such as nuts and seeds. Likewise, while we typicallyassociate omega-3 fatty acids with fish, fish themselves incorporatethese into their tissue by eating seaweed, which we can consumedirectly without the concerns of exposure to microplastics in fishflesh.Evidently, significantly reducing our consumption of meat wouldcarry vast benefits. Cardiovascular(心血管的) disease remains theleading cause of death around the world. Eating highly processedfoods and red meat has been repeatedly demonstrated to promoteunderlying mechanisms of cancer and cardiovascular disease, such asinflammation (炎症) and damage to the lining of blood vessels. Inaddition to harming ourselves, eating meat harms others. Factoryfarming practices often imply unspeakable cruelty to animals, andworking conditions for human laborers are often unsafe and inhumaneas well. Overcrowding of livestock and workers promotes the spreadof disease among both people and animals, putting us all at risk offuture pandemics. The overuse of “routine” antibiotics(抗生素) toaccelerate animal growth and precariously treat the infectionsanticipated as a result of living in unclean and overcrowded conditionscan promote antibiotic resistance.While large-scale, well-organized national and international actionis undoubtedly needed to fight unscrupulous(无道德原则的) factoryfarming practices, and to ensure the availability of nutritious andhealthy food for all citizens, those with greater influence, such asphysicians, educators and policy makers, should consider theimportance of acting as role models for healthy behaviors themselvesas well as advocating for policies that ensure better nutritional accessand education for others.All of these should not be excuses for individuals to resistcarrying out change in their own lives and communities. Societieschange when enough individuals within them alter their behavior, andit is up to each of us to act as a change agent in whatever capacitywe can. We would all be well served to adopt this means in our ownlives as well.#1.612. What challenges a common belief about meat consumption ( )BA. Microplastics make fish a poor omega-3 source.B. Meat is not essential for obtaining key nutrients.C. Nuts and seeds lack sufficient nutrients to replace meat.D. Plant-based foods cannot provide enough protein and iron.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The idea that...It ignores theabundance of protein and iron in many plant-based foods such as nutsand seeds.”可知,人们普遍认为肉类是获得主要营养物质所必需的食物,但这是一种误解,实际上许多植物性食物中也含有丰富的蛋白质和铁,所以肉类并不是获取关键营养物质的必需品。故选B。13. What can be implied from factory farming practices ( )BA. They are technologically advanced.B. They are morally questionable.C. They are environmentally unfriendly.D. They are economically efficient.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Factory farming practices oftenimply unspeakable cruelty to animals, and working conditions forhuman laborers are often unsafe and inhumane as well.(工厂化养殖业的做法往往意味着对动物难以形容的残酷,而人类劳工的工作条件往往不安全也不人道)”可知,工厂化养殖业的做法暗示了他们有违道德标准,在道德上令人质疑。故选B。14. What does the author emphasize about societal change ( )CA. Governments must lead policy reforms.B. International action will solve challenges.C. Individuals should initiate behavioral shifts.D. Role models must play a vital role in education.[解析] 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“所有这些都不应该成为个人拒绝在自己的生活和社区中进行变革的借口。当社会中有足够多的人改变他们的行为时,社会就会改变,我们每个人都应该尽我们所能成为变革的推动者。”可知,作者强调了每个人都应该开始改变自己的行为,尽自己所能推动社会变革。故选C。15. Which best describes the article's structure ( )DA. Comparative study. B. Time order.C. Cause-effect. D. Problem-solution.[解析] 推理判断题。文章第一段提出了人们对于吃肉才能获取关键营养物质的误解的问题;第二段分析了食用加工食品和红肉的危害,指出了现存的问题;第三段和最后一段提出了解决办法,国家和个人都应该采取行动促进社会变革。故本文结构是先提出问题,再指出解决办法。故选D。词汇积累1.advocate(ad+voc+ate)(派) v.拥护,提倡2.consumption(consume+tion)(派) n.食用;消费,消耗3.underlying adj.根本的,潜在的;表面下的4.precariously(pre+cautious+ly)(派) adv.不安全地;不牢靠地5.availability(available+ility)(派) n.可用性,可得性6.initiate v.开始实施,发起;使了解长难句解读原句 While large-scale, well-organized national and international actionis undoubtedly needed to fight unscrupulous factory farming practices,and to ensure the availability of nutritious and healthy food for allcitizens, those with greater influence, such as physicians, educators andpolicy makers, should consider the importance of acting as rolemodels for healthy behaviors themselves as well as advocating forpolicies that ensure better nutritional access and education for others.分析 本句为主从复合句。While引导让步状语从句,第二个and连接并列的状语to fight和to ensure。主句为主谓宾结构,主语为those withgreater influence,谓语为should consider,后面是宾语。that引导定语从句,先行词为policies,关系词在从句中作主语。译文 虽然毫无疑问需要大规模、组织良好的国家和国际行动来打击肆无忌惮的工厂化养殖做法,并确保所有公民都能获得营养和健康的食物,但那些有更大影响力的人,如医生、教育工作者和政策制定者,应该考虑到自己作为健康行为榜样的重要性,以及倡导确保他人获得更好营养和教育的政策。(共55张PPT)限时组合练限时组合练十一(阅读理解4篇)限时:30分钟A语篇类型:应用文 主题语境:人与自我(2025·浙江宁波三模)New year, new you...at least that's the plan, right We all startJanuary with big intentions, but actually sticking to those shiny NewYear's resolutions is a different story.

Our classmates were a mix ofages, stages of life, and experience in making art. We stood out inthe class—not for our artistic talent, but for our consistentencouragement to ourselves, each other, and the group. It got methinking how encouragement had become a routine.It became something of a joke between the two of us tocompliment(赞美) each other, offer a positive comment whenanother student showed his or her work, and generally chat around thetable about how fun our project was going. But reflecting back, ourpositivity was anything but a joke. It was a bright light in my week,a space where I knew I could be surrounded with kindness, gentleness,and positivity.Here's the most special thing about it: my friend's and mypositive conversation wasn't just encouraging, it was true. We didn'tgo for cheap or false compliments, like “This painting should be in amuseum!” Instead, we went for authentic(真实的) expressions ofsupport and encouragement, like “I love how you did that cloud!”Over time, the class became something of a sacred space, becausewe had made a habit of using encouraging,supportive language.Sentence-starters like “I like” “I appreciate” “I want to try” kept uspresent, positive, and honest.The encouragement also kept us engaged in the work of makingart. I feel sure that I learned more—and practiced more at home—because the activity was shown in such consistently positive terms,grounded in a growth mindset, self-acceptance, and encouragement.Having a friend to share an encouragement habit is fantastic, butyou can practice it on your own as pliment yourself in themirror every morning.

Sometimes, that meanspurposefully shoring up defenses against hard times to come. Othertimes it can mean laughing when you want to cry, or cracking anillogical joke when it feels like the sky is falling and Earth is onfire.To psychologists, humor is an unconscious coping mechanism, akind of strategic behavior or thought. Not all of these strategies arebeneficial: Drinking or overeating, for example, is a more dangerouscoping mechanism, whereas humor taps creativity into stress, whichcan enable a viewpoint shift and block distressing emotions.And of course, there's the physical reaction of humor: laughter.With it comes better breathing, muscle relaxation and a higher paintolerance. “The stress is there; you just don't feel it as much,” sayspsychologist Sultanoff.Of course, humor isn't foolproof: Making the wrong joke in thewrong way is just as likely to increase stress and disconnection.Mean-spirited or disparaging (贬低的) humor actually causes peopleto be further apart and increases division.“Humor can arise during stress without cause or effort to make it.But humor can also be played consciously,” Sultanoff says, addingthat he sometimes travels with a clown nose to find fun in life'severyday routine. “Joyful use of humor builds psychological antibodies(抗体),” he says.But taking up the power of humor doesn't mean ignoring thenegatives. The point is not to never feel difficult emotions. “Stress isthere for a reason, and it's to call your attention to a problem thatneeds to be solved,” Sultanoff says. “When you experience a negativeemotion like sadness or anger or frustration, it's important to recognizewhy that's there.” Turning to humor too soon may prevent someonefrom processing emotions in a healthy way, increasing stress ratherthan decreasing it. “By expressing humor you give yourself a break.And we all need a little break,” Sultanoff says.#1.88. How is humor helpful as a coping mechanism ( )CA. It prevents hard times coming.B. It means an emotional release.C. It generates positive mindsets.D. It inspires artistic creativity.[解析] 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Drinking or overeating, forexample, is a more dangerous coping mechanism, whereas humor tapscreativity into stress, which can enable a viewpoint shift and blockdistressing emotions.(例如,饮酒或暴饮暴食是更危险的应对机制,而幽默则能够将创造力融入压力之中,这可能会带来观点的转变,并阻断痛苦的情绪)”可知,幽默可以改变看问题的视角,抑制令人痛苦的情绪。由此推知,幽默的作用是能树立积极的心态。故选C项。9. Why does the author talk about laughter ( )BA. To correct a misunderstanding.B. To illustrate an effect of humor.C. To distinguish humor from it.D. To warn the danger of stress.[解析] 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“With it comes better breathing,muscle relaxation and a higher pain tolerance.(随之而来的是更顺畅的呼吸、肌肉放松以及更高的疼痛耐受性)”可推知,作者本段谈到laughter是为了进一步阐述幽默的积极作用。故选B项。10. Which of the following is called disparaging humor in paragraph4 ( )AA. Making your friend look stupid.B. Telling a story in a funny way.C. Wearing clown clothes at a party.D. Laughing at your own mistakes.[解析] 推理判断题。根据第四段“当然,幽默并不是万无一失的:用错误的方式讲错误的笑话,同样可能增加压力和疏离感。带有恶意或贬低性的幽默实际上会导致人们之间的距离进一步拉大,并加剧分歧”可推知,“让你的朋友看起来很蠢”是一种贬低性幽默。故选A项。11. What does Sultanoff think of a difficult emotion ( )BA. It's something we should avoid.B. It's a reminder of our problems.C. It draws our attention to humor.D. It gives us a break from routine.[解析] 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When you experience anegative emotion like sadness or anger or frustration, it's important torecognize why that's there.(当你体验到悲伤、愤怒或挫败感等负面情绪时,重要的是要认识到这些情绪产生的原因)”可推知,Sultanoff认为,difficult emotions让我们认识到我们的问题,这就是difficultemotions的价值。故选B项。词汇积累1.shore up支持;支撑2.beneficial(benefit+cial)(派) adj.有益的,有利的3.tolerance n.(痛苦、困难等的)忍受程度,忍耐力;忍受,容忍4.disconnection(dis+connect+ion)(派) n.断开;分离,切断5.recognize v.意识到,承认;认识,辨别出长难句解读原句Not all of these strategies are beneficial: Drinking or overeating,for example, is a more dangerous coping mechanism, whereas humortaps creativity into stress, which can enable a viewpoint shift andblock distressing emotions.分析本句为主从复合句,主句是主系表结构。冒号用于引出对主句的具体解释;whereas引导比较状语从句;which引导非限制性定语从句,关系代词which指代前文“humor taps creativity into stress”这件事,说明其作用,which在从句中作主语。译文并非所有这些策略都是有益的:例如,饮酒或暴饮暴食是更危险的应对机制,而幽默能将创造力融入压力之中,这可以使观点转变并阻止痛苦的情绪。D语篇类型:说明文 主题语境:人与社会(2025·山东济宁二模)Numerous industries produce larger quantities of wastewatercontaining high concentrations of organic substances and inorganicsalts. Discharging the wastewater into the environment is harmful tothe ecosystem and human health. However, the high salt content inthe wastewater poses serious challenges for existing treatmentprocesses. Researchers at Rice University, in partnership withGuangdong University of Technology, have developed agroundbreaking method for it—adopting dialysis (透析) technologycommonly used in medicine.#1.3The researchers selected commercial ultrafiltration membranes(超滤膜) which were designed to let salt pass through whiletrapping organic substances. They set up a system where saltywastewater and fresh water flowed in opposite directions on eitherside of a special membrane, without needing pumps. Due to thedifference of salt concentrations between wastewater and fresh water,salt naturally moves into the fresh water while organic substances arekept back. To test this, they compared the amount of organic materialand salt in the wastewater before and after treatment. The resultsshowed the system could effectively remove salt without using extraamounts of fresh water.One significant advantage of dialysis is its resistance to fouling(积垢). Unlike pressure-driven systems, dialysis experiences notablyless buildup of organic materials on the membrane because it doesn'trely on extra pressure. “This could translate to lower energyconsumption, less maintenance, and fewer membrane replacements,”said Elimelech, a researcher on the study.Additionally, with suitable membranes, dialysis can be tailored toseparate various organics, enabling the selective recovery of valuableresources from the wastewater. In this way, dialysis createsopportunities for transforming wastewater treatment plants into resourcerecovery factories, aligning the principles of a recycling economy.Overall, while dialysis alone doesn't fully purify wastewater, itcan transform the high-salinity organic wastewater stream into a low-salinity organic wastewater stream that can be readily treated byconventional methods, which revolutionizes the treatment of some ofthe most challenging industrial wastewater.#1.812. What is the major challenge faced by current wastewatertreatment ( )BA. The lack of sufficient treatment devices.B. The high salt percentage in wastewater.C. The substantial volume of wastewater.D. The considerable cost of treatment processes.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, the high salt contentin the wastewater poses serious challenges for existing treatmentprocesses.(然而,废水中的高盐含量给现有的处理过程带来了严峻的挑战)”可知,当前废水处理面临的主要挑战是废水中的高盐含量。故选B。13.

Due to thedifference of salt concentrations between wastewater and fresh water,salt naturally moves into the fresh water while organic substances arekept back.(他们建立了一个系统,在这个系统中,含盐废水和淡水在一个特殊的膜的两侧以相反的方向流动,不需要泵。由于废水和淡水之间盐浓度的差异,盐自然地移动到淡水中,而有机物则被保留下来)”可推知,在处理废水的透析过程中,浓度差起到了关键作用。故选C。14. What does the underlined word “aligning” in paragraph 4 probablymean ( )AA. Matching. B. Establishing. C. Adjusting. D. Challenging.[解析] 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Additionally, with suitablemembranes, dialysis can be tailored to separate various organics,enabling the selective recovery of valuable resources from thewastewater. In this way, dialysis creates opportunities for transformingwastewater treatment plants into resource recovery factories, aligningthe principles of a recycling economy. (此外,使用合适的膜,透析可以定制以分离各种有机物,能够从废水中选择性地回收有价值的资源。通过这种方式,透析为将废水处理厂转变为资源回收工厂创造了机会,与循环经济的原则一致)”可知,透析为将废水处理厂转变为资源回收工厂创造了机会,这与循环经济的原则是一致的,所以“aligning”的意思最接近“matching(匹配,相一致)”。故选A。15. Which of the following can be a suitable title ( )CA. Dialysis: A Pioneering Blessing for MedicineB. Membranes: A Protective Screen for Fresh WaterC. Dialysis: A New Pathway to Wastewater TreatmentD. High-Salinity Wastewater: A Threat to the Environment[解析] 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Researchers at Rice University,in partnership with Guangdong University of Technology, havedeveloped a groundbreaking method for it—adopting dialysistechnology commonly used in medicine.(莱斯大学的研究人员与广东工业大学合作,为其开发了一种开创性的方法——采用医学上常用的透析)”以及后文对该方法的介绍可知,本文主要讲的是透析技术为废水处理提供了一条新途径。所以最佳标题为“透析:污水处理的新途径”。故选C。词汇积累1.concentration(concentrate+ion)(派) n.浓度(熟词生义)2.substance n.物质;物品;东西3.pose v.造成(问题或危险等)4.effectively(effective+ly)(派) adv.有效地;实际上5.tailor v.专门制作,定做(熟词生义)6.sufficient adj.足够的;充足的长难句解读原句Overall, while dialysis alone doesn't fully purify wastewater, itcan transform the high-salinity organic wastewater stream into a low-salinity organic wastewater stream that can be readily treated byconventional methods, which revolutionizes the treatment of some ofthe most challenging industrial wastewater.分析 本句为主从复合句,主句是主谓宾结构;while引导让步状语从句;that引导定语从句,修饰先行词low-salinity organic wastewaterstream;which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个主句。译文总的来说,虽然透析本身不能完全净化废水,但它可以将高盐度有机废水流转化为低盐度有机废水流,使其易于通过传统方法处理,这彻底改变了一些最具挑战性的工业废水的处理。 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 高考英语二轮复习专题限时组合练一(阅读理解4篇)课件.ppt 高考英语二轮复习专题限时组合练八(阅读理解4篇)课件.ppt 高考英语二轮复习专题限时组合练十一(阅读理解4篇)课件.ppt 高考英语二轮复习专题限时组合练十五(阅读理解4篇)课件.ppt 高考英语二轮复习专题限时组合练四(阅读理解4篇)课件.ppt
