课时提能练(六)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·昆明质量检测)Bats are the only mammals(哺乳动物) that can fly a long distance，but they have another ability.Many bats live a very long time for an animal of their size.European researchers are studying bats to understand why they live so long.They hope to make discoveries aimed at fighting the aging process in human beings.Last week，the group of scientists said they had discovered important biological qualities in some bat species.The group studied bat chromosomes(染色体)．The scientists were most interested in structures connected to the ends of the chromosomes.They are called telomeres(端粒)，which shorten each time a cell divides.The scientists believe this shortening process causes cells to break down.They say this is what causes aging.The European researchers studied 493 bats from four bat species.The group used information that had been gathered over more than 60 years.Of these animals，the greater mouseeared bat generally lived an average of 37 years.The scientists said it had telomeres that did not shorten with age.Another Myotis hold the record for oldest age，reaching 41 years.The scientists' findings suggest that these bats' cells have the ability to keep and repair their telomeres.This，they said，helps guard against the aging process.Based on its body size，a bat like the greater mouseeared bat would be expected to live four years.But，these mammals have been found to live nearly 10 times longer than that.The scientists found that only 19 species of mammals live longer than humans when their body size is considered.18 of these are bats.The only exception is an unusual African rat.【语篇解读】该文是一篇研究性实验报告。

(2013·东北三省三校第二次联考，D)Deception (骗术) is something that people do all the time, and it plays an important role in military (军事的) strategy. Now some researchers are trying to figure out how to get robots to do it, by looking at the behavior of squirrels and birds.At Georgia Tech, a team led by Ronald Arkin, a professor at the School of Interactive Computing, studied the literature on squirrels hiding their acorns (橡果). Squirrels will hide their food in a certain place, but when they see other squirrels trying to steal from them, they attempt to fool the thieves by running to a false location.Ronald Arkin and his Ph. D. student Jaeeun Shim used that as a model for robot behavior. They programmed the robot into tricking a “predator (捕食者)” machine by doing what a squirrel does: showing the enemy a false location for an important resource.The team also looked at how other animals—in this case, a species of bird called Arabian babbler—drive off predators. A babbler will make an alarm call when they see a predator and other babblers will join the bird and make more calls. They then surround the predator, all the while flapping (拍打) wings and making noises. The babblers don't ever actually fight the animal they want to drive off; they just make enough noises and flaps around enough so that it seems that attacking a babbler isn't worth it.They found that the deception works when the group reaches a certain size—essentially, when enough birds arrive to convince the enemy that it's best to back off. Davis modeled that behavior in software using a military scene and found that it worked even if the group didn't have the firepower to confront the enemy directly.The military is interested in this because a robot that can fool an opponentis a valuable tool. It could lead an enemy down a false trail or make itself look more dangerous than it actually is.文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。

Probably not at that time of night.Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she is heartbroken because she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.At a time when families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce，friendships are becoming more and more important.Erika，a 32－year－old lawyer，is strengthened by her ten－year friendship with her married friend Jane.“I was very sick one night，so I called Jane at about 3：00 a．m.to talk about it，” she says.“She was very supportiv e and even came over to take me to the doctor's.”As American TV shows like Friends have become more popular，many of us are beginning to see the value of such shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last，but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive.With Erika's family 200 miles away，it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erika's apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away.“Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom.It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do，but she knows I would do the same for her.” Jane，who may move to a different city soon，is worried about leaving such a support system of friends.“My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and，therefore，I don't have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them.Friends are more up to date with what is happening.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇争论文，以Erika与Jane的友情和美剧Friends为例，讲解并描述并论证友情非常重要的观点。

根据最后一段的第一句“Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either，saying‘There was only one Mozart，and I prefer to be little Alma.’”可知，在人们将她比作莫扎特时，Alma不愿和这位著名的音乐家相提并论，她认为世界上只有一个莫扎特，而她更喜欢人们叫她“小Alma”；据此可以判断，面对人们的赞誉和自己的成功，Alma很谦虚，故C项正确。

根据第六段中的“The family was suddenly swamped with media and Alma became an overnight star，dubbed ‘little Mozart’．This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl.They would instead prefer her to be called‘a composer and musician’”可知，Alma成了一夜成名的“小莫扎特”，但这个绰号让她的父母不高兴，因为他们认为这会给这个小女孩带来额外的压力，他们宁愿她被称为“作曲家和音乐家”。
据此可以判断，Alma的父母是爱护她的，故B项正确。
]B(2019·南宁联考) Researchers have created a backpack that has a computer and medicines in it that can help even untrained soldiers save the lives of wounded troops.Wounded soldiers have a better chance of survival if they get help soon after being hurt and are quickly taken to a hospital or clinic.But soldiers who do not have medical training may not know how to help their injured friends.Doctors and engineers have developed what they call an“intelligent backpack”．It has a computer and electronic measuring devices.The backpack also has robotic instruments and medicines ready to be given to injured troops.About 16 doctors and engineers from the University of Pittsburgh，Carnegie Mellon University and several other places are working on the project.The US Department of Defense has given money to the project.Ron Poropatich leads the project.He is a retired Army surgeon.He says the backpack will help soldiers care for those who are injured.The devices included in the backpack can monitor a person's heart rate and blood pressure.The robotic instruments can even tell whether the soldier has a collapsed lung.The intelligent backpack's computer can compare information gathered about the injured soldier with thousands of similar cases，and quickly tell the best methods to save the soldier's life.Sometimes，it is not always possible to quickly remove the injured soldier from the battlefield.So，Dr.Poropatich says，the researchers hope to create a backpack that will have devices that can keep a soldier alive for a long time.Dr.Poropatich hopes the backpack and its instruments will be ready for testing on animals in about three years.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究者发明的一种“智能背包”，内有电脑、药物等，可以及时救助伤员。
