阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
In recent years, terms like “going green” and “eco-friendly” have become buzz words on talk shows, commercials and product packaging. The term “eco-friendly” has been used for so many different products and practices.
Eco-friendly Car Race
Can you imagine a car racer is so eco-friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hemp (大麻) and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet (甜菜)? The one-seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University, who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry. It is sold at $ 51,000.
Pollution-sensitive Dress
Don’t be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air. The
pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. This dress — which is actually quite pretty — looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty. It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won’t do you any favor if you’re meeting with clien ts.
Eco-friendly Umbrella
Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It is actually
only an umbrella skeleton(骨架)without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.
Eco-friendly Moss (苔藓) Carpet
It is said that walking on fresh grass increases your blood circulation. The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity (湿度) of the bathroom ensures that it grows well. And that’s why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.
1. According to Paragraph 1, we can find Eco One __________.
A. can seat one passenger and one driver
B. can’t be afforded by the public at present
C. is mainly made from some kinds of plants
D. will take the place of the traditional car industry
2. Why is EPA Dress designed?
A. To advise people to stay at home as often as possible.
B. To stop people from meeting their clients if necessary.
C. To make women look pretty even in the polluted air.
D. To keep users informed of the polluted levels in the air.
3. Compared with traditional umbrellas, the Eco-friendly Umbrella __________.
A. is changeable
B. hasn’t any surface
C. can be folded
D. is made of newspapers
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文，主要向我们介绍了四种新的生态产品，它们能保护我们的健康，使我们更了解周围的污染。

【1题详解】
推理判断题。

根据Eco-friendly Car Race部分中Can you image a car racer is so eco-friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes，its body is created from hemp
and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet？（你能想象一位赛车手是如此对生态友好，以至于它的轮胎是由土豆制作而成，它的车身是由大麻及菜籽油制作而成，而且驱动它的燃料是由小麦和甜菜制作而成？）可知Eco One主要是由一些植物组成的，所以C选项是正确的。

【2题详解】
细节理解题。

根据Pollution-sensitive Dress部分中The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly．（Stephanie Sandstrom 设计出的污染感知EPA Dress预告空气中的污染。

）可知 EPA Dress 被设计出来是为了使用户了解空气中的污染水平，所以D选项是正确的。

【3题详解】
细节理解题。

根据Eco-friendly Umbrella部分中This eco-friendly design is more flexible．It is actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface，which can be folded．（这种生态友好的设计更加灵活，它实际上是一个没有任何表面且能折叠的伞骨架）。

可知这种伞只有一个没有任何表面的伞骨架，故选B。

【点睛】细节理解题解题方法
细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。

但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。

事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。

直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。

做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：
1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。

经常有新技术对将来人们工作和生活不良影响的预测，但事实证明结果并不是那样，我们有必要否定预测，以减少人们的恐惧。

2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。

如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。

3.将精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。

快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。

例如第二小题，根据
Pollution-sensitive Dress部分中The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly．（Stephanie Sandstrom 设计出的污染感知EPA Dress预告空气中的污染。

）可知 EPA Dress 被设计出来是为了使用户了解空气中的污染水平，所以D选项是正确的。

B
A new “paparazzi-proof” scarf has got heatedly welcomed since launched. A new “paparazzi-proof” scarf could be a game-changer for celebrities who prefer to shy away from the stage light. The ISHU scarf is the creation of Dutch-born fashion entrepreneur Sai f Siddiqui and is designed to “give people their right to privacy back”. A host of celebrities including Cameron Diaz, singer Joe Jonas, Bayern Munich footballer Jerome Boateng and music producer Major Lazer have worn the ISHU after it was spotted at London Fashion Week last year.
It works by reflecting the light back into a camera, effectively becoming “invisibility clothes” for celebrities who don’t want their photos taken. Anyone wearing the scarf is protected from mobile flash photograph, with the fashion accessory’s fabric (附件结构) effectively blocking out any unwanted pictures, although it doesn’t stop no-flash photographs from being taken.
The 28-year-old Siddiqui was inspired while visiting family in Amsterdam in 2009 when his friends attempted to take a photo of him using an iPhone in front of some bikes. “He noticed that the bike’s reflector carried the flash of his mobile camera in a way that confused the faces of his friends in the picture.” the ISHU website explains. “He immediately realized that if developed into the right product, this feature would be an ideal solution for his friends and is now available to the public who want to keep their private moments in public private. “Saif put together a team of experts who dug into the science of light and reflection, and how to blend technology with fashion.”
He told Decoded Magazine: “The ISHU scarf effectively allows an individual to control what pictures and videos are taken of him. “There are no more unwanted
pictures and videos on Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook! Everyone carries a phone with them nowadays that has an amazing camera. So, it all made sense to me.” More ISHU products are set to launch in August, with mobile phone cases set to launch in the next few weeks. The ISHU is currently sold out but you can pre-order it online for ￡289.
4. The underlined phrase “shy away” in paragraph 1 means __________.
A. hide
B. shame
C. take
D. fly
5. Why did Saif design the “paparazzi-proof” scarf?
A. To help protect people’s privacy.
B. To make a rich profit from the celebrities.
C. Because the scarf is to get a heated welcome.
D. To dig into the science of light and reflection.
6. How did Saif get the creative idea of producing scarves?
A. He was inspired by the photographs of bike.
B. He was inspired when his friends attempted to take a photo of him.
C. He was inspired when finding his friends’ picture was not ideal.
D. He was inspired while cycling with his family members.
7. Which of the following statement might be true?
A. The paparazzi-proof scarf can prevent any unwanted pictures being taken.
B. There might be fewer unwanted pictures and videos on internet.
C. ISHU will be only used to effectively control pictures taken.
D. Customers will mainly buy ISHU products online.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。

介绍了一款由出生于荷兰的时尚企业家Saif Siddiqui发明的用于保护人们隐私的围巾，并且说明了这种围巾的工作原理，以及其发明灵感。

【4题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据下文The ISHU scarf is the creation of Dutch-born fashion entrepreneur
Saif Siddiqui and is designed to “give people their right to privacy back”.（ISHU 围巾是出生于荷兰的时尚企业家Saif Siddiqui发明的，旨在“让人们重获隐私权”。

）可知ISHU围巾可以为人们提供隐私，由此可推测上文名人们应该是经常躲避舞台灯光来保护自己的隐私。

故划线部分短语意思为“躲避；隐藏”，故选A。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。

由第一段第三句give people their right to privacy back 可知，'paparazzi-proof' scarf 可以帮助人们夺回隐私权，换言之就是可以保护人们的隐私。

故选A。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。

由第三段第二句 He noticed that the bike's reflector carried the flash of his mobile camera in a way that confused the faces of his friends in the picture 可知，Saif 注意到相片中的朋友们的脸由于自行车反光镜而拍得模糊，这是 ISHU 给出的他的创意来源的解释。

故C项符合题意。

【7题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段第二句 There are no more unwanted pictures and videos on Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook! 可知，在 paparazzi-proof scarf 的帮助下，在Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook 这些社交媒体上不会再有人们不想要的照片或视频，换言之就是互联网上不需要的图片和视频可能会少一些。

故选B。

【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为
①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。

如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。

②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。

③语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。

④语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。

⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。

如第一小题，根据下文The ISHU scarf is the creation of Dutch-born fashion entrepreneur Saif Siddiqui and is designed to “give people their right to privacy back”.（ISHU 围巾是出生于荷兰的时尚企业家Saif Siddiqui发明的，旨在“让人们重获隐私权”。

）可知ISHU围巾可以为人们提供隐私，由此可推测上文名人们应该是经常躲避舞台灯光来保护自己的隐私。

故划线部分短语意思为“躲避；隐藏”，故选A。

C
Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical (临床的) depression. That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.
In the new study American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters (仓鼠) to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.
The animals were divided into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light a third group slept in front of a white light while a fourth was put in front of a red light.
After four weeks the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.
Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep uneasiness at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim (微弱) red light they did not.”
He notes that photosensitive (感光) cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.
He says there’s a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.
8. Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because __________.
A. they are similar to humans in dealing with colors
B. they are easy to observe and study
C. they are sensitive to colors like human beings
D. they are active at night and sleep during the day
9. What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?
A. Their energy level becomes low.
B. They don’t sleep well.
C. Their eyesight becomes worse.
D. They drink less sugary water.
10. __________ tends to cause hamsters to be depressed.
A. Dim light
B. Blue light
C. Red light
D. Darkness
11. What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?
A. Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light.
B. Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.
C. Living or working in low levels of light overnight.
D. Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

人们在深夜看到的一些颜色能够引起临床沮丧的症状。

研究发现，整夜在较暗的环境中生活或工作的人可能会表现出临床沮丧。

相关症状包括对活动失去兴趣和乐趣，精神不振和产生死亡或自杀念头等。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal，which means they sleep during the day and are active at night．可知研究者使用仓鼠，是因为它们在白天睡觉，晚上却出来活动。

故选D。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段"They found that the most depressed animals drank the least
amount of water"可知研究人员发现，压抑感最强的仓鼠喝的糖水最少。

故选D。

【10题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第七段中的"This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness（这就解释了为什么看到蓝光和白光的仓鼠比看到红光或黑暗的仓鼠显得更抑郁。

）"可知处在蓝光中的仓鼠比在黑暗里的仓鼠也更加压抑。

故选B。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的"This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness"可知在红光或黑暗中，仓鼠的压抑感表现得比蓝光或白光中的仓鼠少。

由此可知，为那些工作到深夜的人的电脑屏幕配备更多的红色灯光能帮助他们避免抑郁。

故选A。

D
Body language is a broad term for several forms of communication using body movements or gestures, instead of, or as a complement to, sounds, verbal language, or other forms of communication. In turn, it is one category of paralanguage, which describes all forms of human communication that are not language.
Paralanguage including body language has been extensively studied in social psychology. In everyday speech and popular psychology, the term is most often applied to body language that is thought to be involuntary, but in fact the distinction between voluntary and involuntary body language is often blurred: a smile or a wave may be given either voluntarily or involuntarily, for example.
Voluntary Body Language is less commonly discussed because it seems unproblematic. It refers to movement, gestures and poses intentionally made by the person: smiling, hands, imitating actions, and generally making movements with full or partial intention of making them and a realization of what they communicate.
The relation of body language to animal communication has often been discussed. Human paralanguage may represent a continuation of forms of communication that our non-linguistic ancestors already used, or it may be that it has been changed by
co-existing language. Some species of animals are especially skilled at detecting
human body language, both voluntary and involuntary: this was the reason for trying to teach the chimpanzee Washoe American Sign Language rather than speech and perhaps the reason why the Washoe project was more successful than some previous efforts to teach apes how to dance.
Body language is a product of both genetic and environmental influences. Blind children will smile and laugh even though they have never seen a smile. The ethnologist (文化人类学者) Iraneus Eibl-Eibesfeldt claimed that a number of basic elements of body language were universal across cultures and must therefore be fixed action patterns under instinctive (本能的) control. Some forms of human body language show continuities with communicative gestures of other apes, though often with changes in meaning. More refined gestures, which vary between cultures (for example the gestures to indicate “yes” and “no”), must obviously be learned or modified through learning, usually by unconscious observation of the environment.
12. Which of the following diagrams shows the right relationship __________?
① = language ② = paralanguage ③ = body language ④ = verbal language
A. B.
C. D.
13. According to the passage, the reason why the Washoe project was a success may be that _____.
A. the chimpanzee Washoe can be taught speech
B. apes can be taught how to dance
C. Washoe can understand body language well
D. numbers of basic elements of body language are same in different cultures
14. Why does the author take the gestures to indicate “yes” and “no” for an example?
A. to give us the meaning of the two gestures
B. to tell us continuities of some fixed action patterns
C. to show environmental influences of the sign language
D. to indicate genetic effects of the body language
15. The last two paragraphs mainly talk about __________.
A. origins of the body language
B. cultural influences
C. what the body language is
D. relationships between body languages and animal communications
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

肢体语言是一个广泛的术语，指的是使用肢体动作或手势来代替或补充声音、语言或其他形式的交流。

反过来，它是副语言的一个类别，它描述了人类交流的所有形式，而不是语言。

其中肢体语言包括自愿和非自愿的，二者之间的区别很模糊。

同时文章也谈论了关于肢体语言的起源问题。

【12题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第二段第一句Paralanguage including body language has been extensively studied in social psychology.（包括肢体语言在内的副语言在社会心理学中得到了广泛的研究。

）可知肢体语言属于副语言；再根据第一段第一句Body language is a broad term for several forms of communication using body movements or gestures, instead of, or as a complement to, sounds, verbal language, or other forms of communication. （肢体语言是一个广泛的术语，指的是使用肢体动作或手势进行的多种形式的交流，而不是作为声音、口语或其他形式的交流的补充。

）可推理得知肢体语言以及其所属的副语言都不是口语的补充，口头语言单独为一种类别；而肢体语言、副语言和口头语言都属于语言的类别。

综上，故选B。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

倒数第二段最后一句Some species of animals are especially skilled at detecting human body language, both voluntary and involuntary: this was the reason for trying to teach the chimpanzee Washoe American Sign Language rather than speech and perhaps the reason why the Washoe project was more successful than some previous efforts to teach apes how to dance.（有些种类的动物特别擅长探测人类的肢体语言，包
括自愿的和非自愿的: 这就是为什么要尝试教黑猩猩Washoe美国手语而不是语言，也许也是为什么Washoe项目比之前教猿跳舞更成功的原因。

）可知Washoe项目成功的原因是Washoe 能够很好地理解肢体语言。

故选C。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章最后一句话More refined gestures, which vary between cultures (for example the gestures to indicate “yes” and “no”), must obviously be learned or modified through learning, usually by unconscious observation of the environment.（更精细的手势，在不同的文化中是不同的(例如表示“是”和“不是”的手势)，显然必须通过学习来学习或修改，通常是通过对环境的无意识观察。

）可知作者以表示“是”和“不是”的手势为例，展示了手语的环境的影响。

故选C。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据倒数第二段第二句Human paralanguage may represent a continuation of forms of communication that our non-linguistic ancestors already used, or it may be that it has been changed by co-existing language.（人类副语言可能是我们的非语言祖先已经使用的交流形式的延续，也可能是共存的语言改变了它。

）以及最后一段第一句Body language is a product of both genetic and environmental influences.（肢体语言是遗传和环境影响的产物。

）可知最后两段主要是在探讨肢体语言的起源。

故选A。

Part 2—When you start a new habit，it should take less than two minutes to do．
Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes? Obviously not．But，every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less．___18___
It might sound like this strategy is too basic for grand life goals，but I beg to differ．The 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia(惯性)of life．______19______ I love the 2-Minute Rule because it embraces the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get started．The most important part of any new habit is getting started—not just the first time，but each time．It’s not about performance，it’s about cons istently taking action．
I can’t guarantee whether or not the 2-Minute Rule will work for you．_____20_____ Anyone can spare the next 120 seconds．Use this time to get one thing done．Go．
A. I call this little strategy the “2-Minute Rule”．
B. And that’s the pu rpose behind this little rule．
C. Here’s what you need to know to stop procrastinating．
D. Once you start doing something，it’s easier to continue doing it．

作者针对如何克服拖延这一问题，给出了自己的方法——“两分钟规则”。

【16题详解】
根据后文There are two parts to the 2-Minute Rule…这里提到了“两分钟规则”分为两部分，所以上文会说什么是“两分钟规则”，故选A。

【17题详解】
根据后文For example，washing your dishes immediately after your meal，tossing the laundry in the washing machine，taking out the garbage，sending that email，and so on．这里提到了许多可以在两分钟之内完成的事情，所以上文会说有那么多可以在两分钟之内完成的事情却被我们拖延了，这很令人吃惊，故选G。

【18题详解】
根据前文Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes? Obviously not．But，every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less．这里捕捉到了关键词goal，B项（这正是这个小规则背后的目的。

）总结本段内容，故选B。

【19题详解】
根据前文The 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia(惯性)of life.这里提到了生活的惯性，故D项（一旦你开始做某事，继续做它就很容易。

）正是惯性的一种，故选D。
