We’ve all known people who talk to themselves, people who sometimes squinch their faces into horrible grimaces when they believe no one is watching, people who have some hysterical fear---of snakes, the dark, the tight place, the long drop…and , of course, those final worms and grubs that are waiting so patiently underground.asylum英[ə'saɪləm] 美[ə'saɪləm]n. 庇护；收容所，救济院squinch[skwintʃ]vt. 扭歪(五官等)He squinches his features sorely.他疼得扭歪了脸。

Some of the reasons are simple and obvious. To show that we can, that we are not afraid, that we can ride this roller coaster. Which is not to say that a really good horror movie may not surprise a scream out of us at some point, the way we may scream when the roller coaster twists through a complete 360 or plows through a lake at the bottom of the drop. And horror movies, like roller coasters, have always been the special province of the young: by the time one turns 40 or 50, one’s appetite for double twists or 360-degree loops may be considerably depleted.plow英[plaʊ]美[plaʊ]n.犁; 犁型铲雪机;v.耕; 犁耕; 费力穿过loop英[luːp] 美[lup]vi. 打环；翻筋斗n. 环；圈；弯曲部分；翻筋斗deplete英[dɪ'pliːt] 美[dɪ'plit]vt. 耗尽，用尽；使衰竭，使空虚We also go to re-establish our feelings of essential normality; the horror movie is innately conservative, even reactionary.

2021届河北衡水高中英语新高考阅读理解复习专题(05)推来判断题型考点分析总结
2021届河北衡水高中英语新高考阅读理解复习专题（05）推来判断题型考点分析总结阅读理解满分秘籍——理解题干的要求是核心，分析选项的特点是基础，读懂原文的主旨是条件。
做到题干、选项与原文内容的完美结合。
高考《考纲》对阅读理解的能力要求是：要求考生能读懂书、报、杂志中关于一般性话题的简短文段以及公告、说明、广告等，并能从中获取相关信息。
考生应能：（1）理解主旨要义；（2）理解文中具体信息；（3）根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义；《考纲》能力要求的后三项对应的是推理判断题型。
推理判断题型是阅读理解题型难度最大的题型，而且所占比例不断上升。
该题型要求考生不仅要理解文章的主旨和事实细节，还要根据文章的主旨和事实细节进行合理的推断。
即领悟作者的言外之意，得出符合作者意愿的结论。
因此考生需要充分阅读理解文章、分析语篇特征、寻找解题依据。
首先按照题干要求的范围进行解题，如果题目中没有提到具体的段落，那么通过“顺序原则”找到区域范围。
然后根据题干和对应的内容进行合理推断，经常会出现may, probably等词。
考生千万不要根据自己的经验和主观意愿判断，更不要去选虽然选项内容根据文章是正确的事实细节，但却不是推断性的选项。
推断判断题分类1. 推断隐含意义常见提问方式：1.It can be inferred/concluded/seen from the passage that ________ .=We can infer /conclude from the passage ________.2.The story/ passage implies /suggests /indicates that _________.=The passage implies,but doesn't directly state that ________.3.From the text /passage we know that …is most likely ________.4.Which of the following conclusions can we draw according to the passage?解题方法：例如：Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控）in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people's e-mails and online posts,scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The'if it bleeds' rule works for mass media,”says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling. But when you share a story with your friends,you care a lot more how they react. You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Q: What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. They're socially inactive.B. They're good at telling stories.C. They're inconsiderate of others.D. They're careful with their words.【解题思路】第一步，根据题干中infer确定是推断隐含意义；第二步，速读文章，找出相关信息句，并标出进行推理判断的关键词；1. They want your eyeballs and don't care howyou're feeling.2. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react.3. You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.第三步，根据该题选项的特点，排除事实细节选项，结合文章主旨和上述内容推断出正确选项C。

Lamenting the loose morals and poor choices of the young is a timeless trope. They wear outrageous clothes! They listen to dreadful music! They have no respect for their elders! But inter-generational criticism is a two-way street: every generation also decries the unenlightened beliefs and behaviours of its elders. They owned slaves! They denied women the vote! They criminalised homosexuality! The nature of social change means that some beliefs and behaviours that are common today are sure to be considered unacceptable within a few decades.

WHAT is the single most effective way to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions? Go vegetarian? Replant the Amazon? Cycle to work? None of the above. The answer is: make air-conditioners radically better. On one calculation, replacing refrigerants that damage the atmosphere would reduce total greenhouse gases by the equivalent of90bn tonnes of CO2 by 2050. Making the units more energy-efficient could double that. By contrast, if half the world’s population were to give up meat, it would save 66bn tonnes of CO2. Replanting two-thirds of degraded tropical forests would save 61bn tonnes. A one-third increase in global bicycle journeys would save just 2.3bn tonnes.refrigerant n. 制冷剂,冷冻剂unita small machine that does a particular job by itself , or is a part of a larger machine ⼩型机器；部件an air-conditioning unit空调机degraded adj. 退化的要减少温室⽓体排放，单个最有效的⽅法是什么？都去吃素？恢复亚马逊的⾬林？骑车上班？都不是。

2021年河北衡水高中英语新高考外刊作文素材阅读讲义（055）BlockchainsNailing itWhat blockchains may be able to do for your business, and what they can’t区块链想搞定区块链能为你的业务做什么，不能做什么WEPOWER IS a Lithuanian startup that aims to change the way renewable-electricity projects are paid for. The government-guaranteed prices that have propelled growth in wind and solar energy around the world are being cut back, says Nick Martyniuk, WePower’s founder. So his firm wants to help developers of renewables raise money by selling the rights to the electricity their plants will produce once built. Customers will buy a smart contract now, running on Ethereum’s blockchain, that will provide them with power later.cutbackNOUN C/ˈkʌtˌbæk/a reduction in something such as the amount of money available to spend 削减；减少+inMany hospitals face cutbacks in services.许多医院都面临服务削减的问题。
The company will be forced to make cutbacks in all departments.该公司将被迫削减各个部门的开支。
立陶宛的创业公司WePower想要改变可再生能源发电项目的融资方式。
其创始人尼克·马蒂纽克（Nick Martyniuk）说，受政府担保的低价在世界各地推动了风力和太阳能发电的增长，但这种资助正在削减。
因此他的公司想要帮助可再生能源的开发商融资，方法是预售发电厂建成后所生成电力的所有权。
客户现在购买在以太坊区块链上运行的智能合约，日后会按这份合约获得供电。
Using a blockchain offers several advantages, says Mr Martyniuk, who used to work as an energy trader. Big energy users such as foundries and aluminium smelters already negotiate such contracts with power stations, but they are often complex and time-consuming. Contracts on a blockchain could be offered off the shelf, allowing smaller companies—and perhaps, one day, individuals—to use them too. Such contracts would be as easily tradable as any other crypto-asset, creating a secondary market in power agreements.foundryNOUN C/ˈfaʊndri/a factory where metal or glass is heated and made into different objects 铸造厂；玻璃厂smelterNOUN C/ˈsmeltə/a furnace used for heating rock to remove the metal that it contains, or a factory where this is done 熔炉；冶炼厂off-the-'shelfADJ, ADValready made and available in shops rather than being designed especially for a customer•现成的（地）:»off-the-shelf database software现成的数据库软件crypto-PREFIX/krɪptəʊ/hidden or secretused with some nouns and adjectives 表示“隐藏的，隐蔽的，隐秘的”（与某些名词和形容词连用）cryptogram (=a text written using a secret code)密文secondaryless important than something else 次要的His feelings in the matter are of secondary importance.在这件事中他的感受是次要的。

曾是能源交易员的马蒂纽克说，使用区块链有几个好处。
铸造厂和炼铝厂等大型能源用户已与发电站谈判此类合同，但它们通常复杂又耗时。
区块链上的合同却可以是“现成的”，小企业也能使用，甚至于有朝一日个人也能用。
这类合同还可以像任何其他加密资产那样方便地交易，创造一个供电协议的二级市场。
The blockchains that run cryptocurrencies (see diagram) could have far wider applications than tracking the transaction history of electronic cash. Investors have taken note. Crunchbase, a business-information firm, reckons that in the first five months of 2018 blockchain startups raised more than $1.3bn from venture-capital firms, compared with around $950m in the whole of 2017. Cloud-computing platforms from Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and others let users experiment with using blockchains in their businesses. Professional-services firms such as Accenture and PricewaterhouseCoopers are lining up to advise clients on the new technology.oraclenoun[C]1.

运行加密货币的区块链（见图）的应用可能远远超出跟踪电子现金交易的范畴。
投资者已经注意到了这一点。
商业资讯公司Crunchbase估计，2018年前五个月，区块链创业公司从风险投资公司那里筹集到超过13亿美元，而2017年全年的筹资额约为9.5亿美元。
亚马逊、IBM、微软、甲骨文等公司的云计算平台让用户尝试在自己的业务中使用区块链。
埃森哲和普华永道等专业服务公司正在争相为客户提供有关这项新技术的咨询。
The idea is that, because blockchains use distributed rather than centralised records and are more tamper-proof than other databases, they can be applied to tasks from streamlining medical record-keeping or trade finance to ensuring that diamonds and other minerals are ethically sourced. Santander, a bank, has said that adopting blockchains could save the finance industry $20bn a year in back-office costs. Creative minds are already turning to exotic applications. LegalThings, a Dutch firm, announced in April that it wanted to put sexual consent on a blockchain; lovers would sign an unalterable electronic contract before taking things further and send copies to thousands of strangers for safekeeping.tamper-proofsomething that is tamper-proof is specially designed so that it cannot be easily changed or damaged防更改的；防损毁的:a tamper-proof identity card防涂改身分卡streamlineVERB T/ˈstriːmˌlaɪn/to improve a business , organization , process etc by making it more modern or simple 精简（工商企业、组织、流程等）使效率更高record-keeping n 记账ethically[ˈeθɪkli] adverbmorally good or correctsourced adj. 有来源的，有出处的back 'officenoun(business 商) the part of a business company which does not deal directly with the public后勤部门(公司中不直接与客户接触的部门)exoticADJ/ɪgˈzɒtɪk/interesting or exciting because of being unusual or not familiar 奇异的；别致的；异乎寻常的dancers wearing exotic costumes身着奇装异服的跳舞者unalterableADJ FORMAL/ʌnˈɔːlt(ə)rəbl/impossible to change or influence 不可改变的；不可影响的人们相信，由于区块链使用的是分布式而非集中式的记录，且比其他数据库更能防篡改，它们可被应用于各种任务，从简化医疗记录或贸易金融，到确保钻石和其他矿产的出产过程符合道德标准等。
