My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we’ve gone through both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago, I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom. Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher’s eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I finally decided: I hate it!
By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma. I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.
A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it. It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin’s voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray. A gloomy shade covered the
grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.
That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin — I grabbed mine and never let it go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined(用松香擦) the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even better; when I’m deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I’m wal king on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn(庄严的) tunes calm me down. Gradually, it has become a part of my life.
My violin, shall I compare you to a summer’s day?
4. What further contributed to the author’s dislike of violin-playing?
A. Orders from mum.
B. Boredom of practice.
C Loss of passion for violin. D. Disappointment in the teacher’s eyes.
5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. The author’s feeling was continuously influenced by the music.
B. The weather actually changed because of the tune.
C. The sudden change made the author’s heart unable to beat.
D. The scenery outside the room was quite attractive.
6. Why did the author pick up the violin again?
A. The invisible hammer and claw are gone.
B. The beautiful imagination changed his attitude.
C. A famous tune aroused his interest and passion.
D. He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn’s works.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Deep love for music
B. My dislike and like of violin
C. An inspiring story of violin
D. Musical soul mate—violin
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D

【5题详解】
推理判断题。

主旨大意题。

文中作者讲述了自己小时候被妈妈要求学小提琴，后来由于无聊和失望而放弃，无意中因为一首名曲又有了学习的热情，一直坚持了12年到现在，小提琴已经成为了生活的一部分，成了灵魂伴侣。

Musical soul mate—violin概括了全文意思，又能吸引读者，适合作为标题。

故选D。

【点睛】主旨大意题的做题技巧。

1) 主旨大意题属于归纳概括题。

如有标题，标题中蕴含的信息往往是关键信息。

2) 找准文章的主题句是关键。

“主题句定位法”是一种行之有效的方法。

在答题时，我们可以：读首句抓大意；读尾句抓大意；读首尾段抓大意。

3.) 无明显主题句时高频信息词，任一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，因此，有的文章中
最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。

抓住了它，便容
易抓住文章的中心。

比如小题4，文中作者讲述了自己小时候被妈妈要求学小提琴，后来由于无聊和失望而放弃，无意中因为一首名曲又有了学习的热情，一直坚持了12年到现在，小提琴已经成为了生活的一部分，成了灵魂伴侣。

Musical soul mate—violin概括了全文意思，又能吸引读者，适合作为标题。

故选D。

C
On my fourth day in a self-driving car, I finally felt comfortable enough to let it stop itself. Before then, I'd allowed the car-a Volvo S90 sedan-to control the direction, with my hands still on the wheel, and to adjust speed in traffic. By Day 4, I was ready to make a jump into the future.
With the car traveling on a busy road, I activated the driverless mode. Soon, a traffic light turned red. For a split second, I prepared to get on the brakes. There was no need. The cameras and computers in the Volvo recognized the traffic conditions and smoothly began applying the brake.
If you're anything like most people, you're familiar with this anxiety. Almost 80 percent of Americans fear traveling in a self-driving car, a recent survey found.
Researchers at the University of Chicago have conducted some clever experiments studying the phenomenon. They asked participants to complete tasks and compare their performance with a computer system's. After the computer made a mistake, people were unwilling to use it again. After the people made mistakes, their self-confidence wouldn't change. It didn't matter that the human beings made more mistakes than the computer. So it is with driving. More than 37,000 Americans died in crashes last year, most from human error. The death count from cars goes beyond that from guns. So if you are shocked and angry by guns and want things to change, you should feel the same about car crashes.
Technology creates an opportunity to save lives. Computers don't get drunk or distracted by text messages, and they don't have blind spots. Just look at commercial airlines: Automation has helped all but get rid of deadly crashes among American air carriers. The last one happened in 2009.
The technology for self-driving cars still isn't good enough. But it is improving rapidly. Within a few years, many cars will have advanced crash-avoidance systems and driving will be revolutionized sooner than many people now understand.
8. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By offering a piece of news.
B. By giving background information.
C. By describing an experience.
D. By introducing a latest car.
9. What can be learnt about the participants of the experiments?
A. They tended to accept the computer's faults.
B. They seemed to care little about their own mistakes.
C. They felt less confident after making mistakes.
D. They performed better than computer systems.
10. The author mentioned commercial airlines___________.
A. to prove the advantage of technology
B. to assess the security of driverless cars
C. to find fault with computers
D. to advertise for the commercial airlines
11. What does the author expect of the self-driving car?
A. I'll avoid deadly crashes entirely.
B. It'll occupy the market in a short time.
C. It'll be bettered in every possible way.
D. It'll be popularized sooner than expected.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议文。

文章中作者先是通过自己驾驶自动汽车的经历来说明了最近的一项调查发现，近80%的美国人害怕乘坐自动驾驶汽车。

而芝加哥大学的研究人员进行了一些巧妙的实验来研究这一现象，结果发现电脑出了错误后，人们就不愿再用它了。

当人们犯了错误之后，他们的自信并不会改变。

文章还说明了电脑技术的优势以及作者对自动驾驶汽车的期待。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章前三段主要描述了作者第四天驾驶自动驾驶汽车时的经过，在路上，
交通灯变红了刹那间，作者准备踩刹车，这是没有必要的，沃尔沃车上的摄像头和电脑识别出了交通状况，并开始平稳地刹车。

结合第三段中Almost 80 percent of Americans fear traveling in a self-driving car, a recent survey found.可知最近的一项调查发现，近80%的美国人害怕乘坐自动驾驶汽车。

第四段中则开始论述文章的主题。

由此可推知，作者通过描述一个自身经历来引入主题。

故选C。

【9题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第四段中They asked participants to complete tasks and compare their performance with a computer system's. After the computer made a mistake, people were unwilling to use it again. After the people made mistakes, their self-confidence wouldn't change. It didn't matter that the human beings made more mistakes than the computer.可知他们要求参与者完成任务，并将他们的表现与电脑系统进行比较。

电脑出了错误后，人们就不愿再用它了。

当人们犯了错误之后，他们的自信不会改变。

人类犯的错误比计算机多并不重要。

由此可推知，实验参与者似乎对自己的错误毫不在意。

故选B。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段中Technology creates an opportunity to save lives. Computers don't get drunk or distracted by text messages, and they don't have blind spots.Just look at commercial airlines: Automation has helped all but get rid of deadly crashes among American air carriers.可知技术创造了拯救生命的机会。

电脑不会喝醉或被短信分心，也没有盲点。

看看商业航空公司:自动化几乎帮助所有美国航空公司摆脱了致命的坠机事故.由此可推知，作者提到商业航空公司是为了证明技术的优势。

故选A。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段中The technology for self-driving cars still isn't good enough. But it is improving rapidly. Within a few years, many cars will have advanced crash-avoidance systems and driving will be revolutionized sooner than many people now understand.可知自动驾驶汽车的技术还不够好。

但它正在迅速改善。

几年之内，许多汽车将拥有先进的防撞系统，驾驶技术将比现在人们所了解的更快地发生革命性变化。

由此可推知，作者对自动驾驶汽车的期望是它会比预期更早地普及。

故选D。

【点睛】推理判断题要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。

推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气等，
找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。

以本文第二题为例，根据第四段中They asked participants to complete tasks and compare their performance with a computer system's. After the computer made a mistake, people were unwilling to use it again. After the people made mistakes, their self-confidence wouldn't change. It didn't matter that the human beings made more mistakes than the computer.可知他们要求参与者完成任务，并将他们的表现与电脑系统进行比较。

电脑出了错误后，人们就不愿再用它了。

当人们犯了错误之后，他们的自信不会改变。

人类犯的错误比计算机多并不重要。

由此可推知，实验参与者似乎对自己的错误毫不在意。

故选B。

D
It is believed that around half the US adult population will be obese (肥胖的) by 2030, while one in four will fall into the severely obese category. This is according to a new study led by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, which found that levels of obesity are increasing in every state. Indeed the predictions show that levels of severe obesity could be higher than 25 percent in half of states.
“Especially striking was our finding that among adults with very low income (less than $20,000 per year), severe obesity is predicted to be the most common in 44 states—almost everywhere in the US,” a researcher said.
The research was carried out to inform state policymakers—and perhaps help change the tendency. The study authors say the best form of attack is prevention. Limiting intake of sugar is stressed as one of the most effective and cost-effective methods for reducing obesity levels, and a tax likely to save more money than it costs.
Sugar (and the sugar industry) has come under fire for its role in promoting obesity. Indeed, one recent study published in September 2021 puts responsibility for today’s obesity epidemic (流行病) firmly on the shoulders of sugar, concluding high-sugar diets during childhood in the seventies and eighties could be behind the rise.
“We knew from previous work that obesity is increasing in the US, and that some states and demographic groups (人群) are at higher risk, but we were surprised that even the states with the lowest obesity will be above 35 percent in 2030—a level
currently considered high, a researcher told Newsweek. What is clear is that we will not be able to treat our way out of this epidemic—achieving and keeping weight loss is difficult—so prevention efforts will be key to making progress in this area.”
12. What’s the most surprising finding in the study?
A. Over 25% of people will be seriously obese.
B. Levels of obesity are increasing in every state.
C. poor adults are more likely to be severely obese.
D. Half of the US adults will be overweight by 2030.
13. What is the best way to solve the problem according to the passage?
A. To reduce the tax.
B. To limit intake of sugar.
C. To reduce obesity level.
D. To inform policymakers.
14. What does the underlined word “fire” actually refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Blame from researchers.
B. Rapid chemical change.
C. Current obesity epidemic.
D. High-sugar diets.
15. What’s the main idea of the last two paragraphs?
A. Obesity is increasing everywhere in the US.
B. All states in America are at the same level of obesity.
C. Maintaining weight loss is a good way to deal with obesity.
D. Diets with less sugar are vital to preventing the problem of obesity.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

研究人员估计到2030年，美国成年人将有一半肥胖，四分之一的人将严重肥胖，每个州的肥胖水平都在上升。

这项研究是为了告知国家政策制定者，这或许也有助于改变这一趋势。

该研究的作者认为最好的攻击形式是预防，即限制糖的摄入量。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中“Especially striking was our finding that among adults with very low income (less than $20,000 per year), severe obesity is predicted to be the most common in 44 states—almost everywhere in the US,” a researcher said. 一名研究人员说：“尤其让人吃惊的是，我们的研究发现，在收入极低(每年不到2万美元)的成年人中，严重肥胖预计将在44个州最为普遍——几乎在美国各地都是如此。

”可知，这项研
究最令人惊讶的发现是贫穷的成年人更有可能严重肥胖。

故选C项。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段中Limiting intake of sugar is stressed as one of the most effective and cost-effective methods for reducing obesity levels限制糖的摄入被强调为降低肥胖水平的最有效和最划算的方法之一。

可知，解决这个问题的最好方法是限制糖的摄入量。

故选B项。

【14题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据第四段中Sugar (and the sugar industry) has come under fire for its role in promoting obesity. Indeed, one recent study published in September 2021 puts responsibility for today’s obesity epidemic (流行病) firmly on the shoulders of sugar 糖(以及制糖业)因其在促进肥胖方面的作用而受到_________。

事实上，2021年9月发表的一项最新研究将当今肥胖流行的责任完全推到了糖的肩上。

由把肥胖的责任推到糖的肩上，可知，这是研究人员责备糖的不良影响，因此猜测划线词fire实际指的是“来自研究人员的责备”。

故选A项。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第四段中Sugar (and the sugar industry) has come under fire for its role in promoting obesity. 糖(以及制糖业)因其在促进肥胖方面的作用而受到抨击；以及最后一段中What is clear is that we will not be able to treat our way out of this epidemic—achieving and keeping weight loss is difficult—so prevention efforts will be key to making progress in this area. 很明显，我们将无法摆脱这种流行病——实现和保持体重减轻是困难的——所以预防工作将是在这一领域取得进展的关键。

可知，最后两段的大意是少吃糖对预防肥胖至关重要。

故选D项。
